The emperor now wanted to kill this bitch, but the child in her belly was innocent, so he asked about the child's condition first.
"how?"
Several imperial doctors were pushing each other around, and no one knew how to start the conversation.
The emperor was already angry, and when he saw them like this, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Mute."
"this……"
The three of them knelt on the ground at the same time, thinking that if they stuck their heads out, they would be killed as well, and they spoke out tremblingly.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine...she..."
The emperor had had enough of them, so he drew a long sword from the guards beside him and put it on the neck of one of them.
"I'll give you one last chance to speak."
The three people on the ground dared not hesitate any longer. The imperial physician in the middle kowtowed and did not dare to stand up again.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is not pregnant."
Everyone was shocked. How could this be possible? How could the imperial concubine not be pregnant?
The person on the far right has been taking care of Concubine Zhao's baby, and it was he who diagnosed that she was pregnant. He felt that his life would end here today.
When the Queen Mother heard the news, she almost lost her breath and fell down. If the nanny behind her had not caught her, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Mother!"
The emperor was also frightened by the empress dowager, so he put down his sword and went forward to check.
Fortunately, the imperial physicians were here today, and he finally recovered after taking a heart pill.
"What kind of evil is this?"
But she suddenly remembered that there was a Concubine Rong, and she was afraid that Rong Xi was in the same situation, so she wanted to go and check.
The emperor has not yet accepted this fact. How dare this woman use this matter to deceive him?
But now he also wanted to see Xier's belly with his own eyes to feel at ease. He had felt Xier's fetal movements and had seen her belly clearly, so he thought it must be true.
Everyone rushed to the side hall where Rong Xi was. The imperial physician was still writing the prescription on the desk. When he saw the empress dowager and His Majesty coming in, he quickly stood up to greet them.
But before he could kneel down, the Empress Dowager ordered him to let Concubine Rong take a look.
He even called in several imperial doctors to check it out, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was pregnant.
Rong Xi and the Queen Mother were sent back to their respective palaces, while the Emperor stayed until the end.
Looking at the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to make a single move, he said in a cold voice, "Explain to me, what is going on?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is indeed not pregnant. She had symptoms of pregnancy before, so she must have taken some secret medicine. The medicine had similar effects to pregnancy symptoms, so the Imperial Physician made a misdiagnosis."
"You mean that Concubine Zhao used secret medicine to fake her pregnancy to deceive me."
The three imperial doctors did not speak, but their silence at this moment was worth a thousand words.
Lin Dong, who was being held down on the side, didn't believe it at all and shouted.
"Your Majesty, don't believe them. The Queen is truly pregnant. Someone must be trying to confuse the public. The Queen is pregnant and has lost the baby, so they fabricated these lies."
The three imperial doctors already felt that their lives were in danger. If His Majesty really believed what the palace maid said, then the three of them might not be able to leave the palace today.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Everything I said is true. Please send all the imperial physicians in to check the Imperial Concubine's pulse. She is indeed not pregnant."
Lin Dong: "You are lying. How could the Queen not be pregnant? Her belly is so big. And she was knocked to the ground today. Can't you see the blood all over the ground?"
The emperor was really confused about this matter and turned his attention to the three imperial doctors.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the Imperial Concubine is bleeding heavily is because she took a fake pregnancy drug. It must be her period that has arrived recently, which is why she is bleeding so heavily."
"Your Majesty, don't believe him. He's a liar. The Queen is really pregnant with your child. You are Concubine Rong's people, right? It was Concubine Rong who asked you to frame the Queen, right?"
The person who tortured him has confessed everything he saw today, which is the same as what Gardenia said.
As for Rong Xi's sudden fall, it was probably because he bumped into the bracelet on his hand, causing the camera ball inside to roll out and he accidentally stepped on it.
The originally quiet courtyard was suddenly broken by a voice.
"Be honest."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a palace maid being brought in by guards and kneeling before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this suspicious person was found behind the Imperial Garden. He claimed that the Imperial Concubine had sent him there."
The emperor looked at the man carefully. Although he was wearing eunuch clothes, it was obvious that he had not been working in the palace since childhood. He had a very dark skin and was full of brute force.
"Look up."
The guards straightened the man's head, and the emperor could see who he was.
This is Liu Cheng, the widower who was beaten by Rong Xi in the Shangshu Mansion.
According to Rong Xi's wishes, this man was sent to the palace and directly castrated as a eunuch, washing toilets in the backyard. The wages he earned were sent back to his hometown to support his two children who knew nothing at the time.
"Tell me, what are you doing in the Imperial Garden?"
Liu Cheng, who spoke a little slowly, was kicked hard by the guard behind him and fell to the ground. He almost rolled on the ground in pain, but he knew that he could not act tough now because the person in front of him was someone he could not afford to offend.
"Your Majesty, I just lost my way."
The emperor glanced over and the guard behind him kicked him in the back again.
"Tell the truth."
The knife was at his neck, and he had to tell the truth.
"It was Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine who asked me to go."
Before Lin Dong could even finish his sentence, "Shut up," he was knocked unconscious to the ground.
Liu Cheng spoke again without any scruples.
"It was the Imperial Concubine who asked me to go. She said Jiang Rong... Imperial Concubine Rong is there. I can go to Imperial Concubine Rong and ask for mercy so that I can leave the palace."
"Humph, you want to seek revenge on Concubine Rong, right? I didn't expect that someone could still find you even though I had thrown you so far away. If that's the case, then there's no need for you to live anymore."
The emperor raised his sword and the head fell to the ground.
"Noble Consort Zhao dared to deceive the emperor and plot to murder the heir. Her crime deserves death. In consideration of her many years of service, from today on, she will be demoted to a concubine and imprisoned in the cold palace for life. She will not be allowed to leave the palace until she is dead."
The reason why he spared her life was because of her brother, General Zhenbei.
The emperor finally finished dealing with these things and came to Rongxi Palace. At that time, Rongxi's face was full of anxiety, and he was walking back and forth in the palace.
Seeing the emperor coming back, she hurried to greet him.
"Your Majesty, how is the Imperial Concubine? I really didn't mean it."
"Xi'er, Concubine Zhao was faking her pregnancy. She wasn't pregnant at all. This is the only child I have now."
Although he didn't like Concubine Zhao's plot against him at that time, he was still looking forward to the child in her belly, but it turned out that the child was fake.
