Or was it because she had just taken charge of the palace affairs...
She stood up and asked Qingxing to quickly help her dress up as she was going to Yanfu Palace.
No matter what the reason was, the imperial concubine had assumed the responsibility of managing the harem, so she could not escape blame and had to go at this time.
Time was running out, so she simply dressed up and rushed to Yanfu Palace with her servants. During the process, she inquired about Bi Tao's situation, but Bi Tao knew very little. She only said, "The Imperial Concubine was very quiet today, but suddenly became irritated at night, complaining of a stomachache. Since the Imperial Concubine is pregnant, a sudden stomachache is no small matter. That's why all the lights in Yanfu Palace were turned on. I have a good sister who is nearby. If she saw it, she would tell me what she had to say."
Concubine Jing nodded and asked, "Has the Emperor gone yet?"
"Yes, the Emperor is resting in Yeonfu Palace today. I heard that he has summoned all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to Yeonfu Palace."
When Concubine Jing asked that question, she felt that she was too anxious to think straight. According to how much the emperor valued the imperial concubine, he would definitely be by her side.
Because this matter was so sudden, the closer Concubine Jing got to Yanfu Palace, the more panicked she became.
When she was about to enter the door, she met Concubine Duan who was also in a hurry.
The two of them looked at each other and both saw that a storm was about to come. They were both in charge of the palace affairs. If something happened to the imperial concubine because something went wrong in the palace, then both of them would be to blame.
Without saying much, they entered Yeonbok Palace together.
Yanfu Palace was indeed in chaos. As soon as I entered, I saw a group of imperial doctors rushing in. This scene was just as the emperor said, everyone in the entire Imperial Hospital had gathered.
When Concubine Duan saw this, she felt jealous. Although she was not stupid enough to hide in her shell after such a big incident, she had never liked Bai Susu. She thought that today's incident was just a show by Bai Susu to avoid the emperor's attention.
Jing Jieyu felt increasingly heavy-hearted, and had a vague intuition that today's matter might not end well. The two of them walked into the inner hall.
Most of the palace maids were already kneeling in the inner room.
Concubine Zhengui had a stomachache, and the emperor was very angry. If there was a problem with the queen's stomach, all the servants in the palace would have to be buried with her.
Everyone in the palace was in a panic, and several timid palace maids were shivering.
Through the screen, Concubine Jing could vaguely see two figures hugging each other.
At this moment, no one had time to pay their respects to Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan, so Emperor Xuan Jing did not notice. It was not until the two of them went in to pay their respects that the emperor gave them a look.
Concubine Jing saw the imperial concubine nestled in the emperor's arms, whimpering in pain. Her hair was slightly disheveled and her face was pale, but because of her natural beauty, tears were falling in the corners of her eyes, and she looked very pitiful.
When Concubine Duan saw the Emperor holding Bai Susu in his arms in a gentle and loving manner, coaxing her softly, her jealousy reached its peak. She pinched her palms so hard that they hurt before she changed her expression. She secretly cursed Bai Susu for being pretentious.
Bai Susu had already asked the system to adjust the pulse, but in fact the poison had no effect on the child, so to be on the safe side, she bought another acting pill, and at this time she performed the pain even though there was no pain.
Emperor Xuan Jing was so distraught by her cries of pain that he raised his head, his eyes as sharp as knives, and fell on Doctor Jiang: "What's wrong with the Empress?"
Doctor Jiang was bowing to take the patient's pulse, but he was extremely panicked. In a short time, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead.
He was the one who took care of Concubine Zhengui's pregnancy. Now she has abdominal pain for no reason. The emperor is extremely anxious. If he doesn't explain the reason, he is afraid that his life will end here.
The emperor's gaze was too compelling, but Imperial Physician Jiang hadn't figured out the cause yet. The imperial concubine's heart and pulse were a little disordered, but not that obvious. Logically, it shouldn't affect the dragon fetus in her belly, at least not cause such severe abdominal pain.
But looking at the performance of the Imperial Concubine, it doesn't seem like she is pretending. Besides, since she is the most favored among the six palaces, why would she need to put on a show?
Or was it that his skills weren't good enough to diagnose the disease? Doctor Jiang's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to organize his words.
Emperor Xuan Jing's patience gradually wore off amidst the silence of Imperial Physician Jiang. He stared at the Imperial Physician with scorching eyes, "Why don't you speak now?"
Doctor Jiang felt a chill on the back of his neck. Without thinking, he knelt on the ground and reported, "Your Majesty, I observe that Concubine Zhengui's pulse is disordered. This may be due to shock or lack of rest, but it is unlikely to affect the dragon fetus. As for why Concubine Zhengui has persistent abdominal pain, I am incompetent and cannot diagnose the cause."
Doctor Jiang was indeed a very capable doctor, but when Emperor Xuan Jing heard this, he immediately became furious. His eyes were as deep as a pool, and he shouted in a low voice, "You quack!"
Bai Susu's eyes dimmed. Could it be that this imperial physician really couldn't diagnose the disease?
Concubine Duan felt more and more contemptuous at this moment, and concluded that Bai Susu was pretending. It was really laughable!
Doctor Jiang couldn't laugh. Seeing the emperor's anger, he said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Emperor Xuan Jing had no intention of listening to his plea for mercy. He looked coldly at the imperial physicians standing beside him and said, "Come here one by one and take the imperial concubine's pulse. If you can't diagnose the cause, you will resign!"
When these words were spoken, the whole audience was shocked. Dean Shen was still relatively calm. In terms of gynecology, Doctor Jiang was naturally the most specialized, but in terms of comprehensiveness, he was naturally better.
He was the first to stand up and take Bai Susu's pulse. He felt something strange when he touched her. Firstly, he was quite familiar with Bai Susu's pulse, because he had examined Bai Susu both when she first entered the palace and when she just became pregnant.
Every time, he could say that Bai Susu's pulse was very healthy, and extraordinarily healthy.
But this time, just as Doctor Jiang said, the heart pulse was very chaotic. If it happened to an ordinary weak person, it would not be a big deal at all. Similar situations would occur when the body is weak, frightened or not well rested. A dose of tranquilizing soup would be enough.
But in Bai Susu's case, it was very abnormal, as if a healthy body was suddenly affected by something and deviated from its trajectory...
Moreover, he still felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. He seemed to have sensed a familiar pulse in the late queen...
Could it be that... this isn't a disease at all, but rather something unclean?!
As soon as this thought came out, Chen Yuanzheng couldn't help but feel a chill on his back. The death of the late queen...
He suddenly had a terrible guess in his mind, but the situation was urgent, so he focused his attention on the imperial concubine.
He stood up and told his diagnosis and reasons.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Duan were standing quietly on the side. When they heard Chen Yuanzheng say that the imperial concubine might have been contaminated with something unclean, they suddenly trembled in their hearts.
Concubine Duan couldn't help but said, "Has Yuanzheng Chen made a clear diagnosis? Everything the Imperial Concubine eats and uses has been inspected, so how could it be contaminated with unclean things?!"
It's no wonder she was so agitated. It would have been fine if Bai Susu was ill on her own, but if someone else had murdered her, how could she, the one in charge of palace affairs, escape responsibility?!
Chen Yuanzheng didn't look at her, but said to the emperor: "I am 70% sure."
Emperor Xuan Jing clenched his hands at his sides, his expression looking extremely ugly.
Even though everyone didn't dare to look at the emperor's expression, they could still feel the terrifying pressure.
Bai Susu's slender hand grasped the emperor's dragon-patterned sleeve at the right time, her eyes clear: "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm our child." There was a faint red at the corners of her eyes, and her usually tender lips were no longer bloody.
