Chapter 182 Pregnancy (3)
After she said this, Emperor Wenhui's eyes became serious.
Shen Qing almost vomited blood in anger at Shen Miao's words. She brought the emperor to the forefront in one sentence. What could Shen Qing say? Could he dare not consider the emperor?
The princes of the Fu family also understood Shen Miao’s meaning. Prince Li paused and then said, “This young lady of the Shen family is really born with a sharp tongue!”
"Come here," Emperor Wenhui said without hesitation, "Go and call the imperial physician. Miss Shen has had an accident in the palace, and I must investigate thoroughly!"
"Big sister, please don't move," Shen Miao said calmly, "The murderer might be among the crowd right now. When the imperial physician arrives, he will take your pulse right here. Otherwise, if your qi and blood flow, you might get into trouble."
Before Ren Wanyun could speak, Emperor Wenhui nodded and said, "Not bad."
In one sentence, all possibilities were blocked.
Having the imperial physician examine Shen Qing in public meant that Shen Qing's pregnancy would be revealed in front of all the civil and military officials. When Ren Wanyun thought of this, her body couldn't stop trembling, and her fear finally spread to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing endured the severe pain, and more fear surged in her heart: "Mom, don't..."
But what could Ren Wanyun do? Emperor Wenhui had spoken, and she couldn't disobey. She was just a woman, and while she could act arrogantly in the harem, she was completely bewildered in front of the emperor, empress, and officials. She looked up at Shen Gui, hoping he'd help her, but his gaze was filled with nothing but reproach and anger.
For a moment, Ren Wanyun's hands and feet were cold, and deep despair surged in her heart. She didn't even bother to comfort Shen Qing in her arms, but just collapsed to the ground in a daze.
"What's wrong with your aunt?" Feng An Ning whispered to Shen Miao, "Why does she look so scared?"
Shen Miao smiled, and Luo Xueyan also frowned. Ren Wanyun's abnormal behavior made her feel a little strange. But she couldn't figure out why, so she looked at Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue on the side.
Chen Yue was frightened by Shen Qing's appearance, and she grabbed the corner of Chen Ruoqiu's clothes in a panic. Chen Ruoqiu also stared at Ren Wanyun motionlessly. Having been a sister-in-law to Ren Wanyun for so many years, Chen Ruoqiu naturally knew that her second sister-in-law had always been able to handle various situations with ease. There could only be one reason for her loss of composure today, and that was that she had been tricked.
Chen Yue whispered, "Big sister couldn't have really been poisoned, mother, is it Fifth Sister..."
"Yu'er!" Chen Ruoqiu stopped her sternly. She couldn't help but glance at Shen Miao. She couldn't see Shen Miao's gaze clearly through the crowd, but seeing the corners of her mouth slightly raised, Chen Ruoqiu couldn't help but feel alarmed. She had a hunch that today's events were definitely related to Shen Miao, but was Shen Miao really so bold as to poison the palace? Regardless, Shen Qing's reputation was ruined.
Prince Yu's face darkened at the sudden turn of events. Though he had acted irrationally, he knew his priorities. Now was definitely not the right time to bring up the matter. A sardonic smile played on his lips. Shen Miao had escaped a disaster today. Regardless of whether Shen Miao had poisoned Shen Qing, she was naive. She thought it would hold him back. Afterwards, he could still bring up the matter with Emperor Wenhui. There were some things that simply couldn't be avoided.
The imperial physician hurried over quickly. Surprisingly, all the imperial physicians in the palace were elderly people who could be in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau because of their rich experience. However, this imperial physician was only in his early twenties and was very handsome, which made some of the young ladies from official families stare at him.
