Chapter 177: Open your mouth and speak? Turn around and slap in the face,
"My lady, there is a rumor in the East Palace that you have been pregnant for more than a month. Doesn't this clearly mean that you are cheating on His Highness? The Empress must have come because of this." Chunxi said, gasping for breath.
"Oh, my lady, the Queen has brought Doctor Yu with her. It looks like she wants to find out the truth this time. Doctor Yu will tell you that you are pregnant once he takes your pulse, and there will be no excuses then."
Chunxi thought for a moment and said, "I'd better let Little Rabbit inform His Highness to come to the rescue. It will be too late if we are late."
Chunxi was about to rush out after talking like a machine gun, but was stopped by Shen Chuwei: "Your Highness is so busy with official duties every day, so don't ask him to come."
"But the Empress is here, and once Doctor Yu takes her pulse, we won't be able to explain it even if we have a hundred mouths." Chunxi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running around in circles.
Shen Chuwei yawned, "Don't worry, I'm here."
"My young lady, please don't be so stubborn." Chunxi looked at Shen Chuwei with some worry. The young lady has been in a bad condition these past two days.
Outside the door, Eunuch Ren's shrill voice came, "The Queen has arrived."
Chunxi was in no avail no matter how anxious she was, she could only stand up and greet the Empress.
Shen Chuwei used her mind to take out a silver needle from space. There are medicines that can make people have false pregnancy pulses, and there are also ways to cover up the pulse of pregnancy.
She hadn't used the silver needles for a long time, but she was not unfamiliar with them.
The Empress has arrived in her carriage, with a large group of people, including six palace maids.
With Chunxi's help, Shen Chuwei got out of bed and bowed to greet him.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
The queen walked over to the couch and sat down, "Get up."
"Thank you, Her Majesty." Shen Chuwei stood up with Chunxi's help.
The Queen also saw Shen Chuwei's expression at this time, which was indeed not very good. This is what a pregnant woman looks like in the early stages of pregnancy, so she believed it a little more.
"Shen Liang Di doesn't look well. Is she sick?"
"Your Majesty, I have indeed been feeling unwell recently and have been very sleepy." Shen Chuwei replied honestly.
Feng Yueyue raised the corners of her lips when she heard that, and looked at Shen Chuwei with a schadenfreude, "You can't wash yourself clean even if you jump into the Yellow River this time."
When the Queen heard Shen Chuwei's sleepiness, she could almost conclude that she was really pregnant, and it was very likely not the prince's child, which made her even more depressed and angry.
"I heard some bad things from Concubine Shen today, saying that you have been pregnant for more than a month. Is this true?"
Shen Chu shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty, I am not pregnant. Where did Your Majesty hear this?"
The Queen's voice became a little colder. "Shen Liangdi, not only did I hear that you were already more than a month pregnant, but Feng Zhaoshun also reported that you were having an affair with a guard. Do you plead guilty?"
"Feng Zhaoshun reported me?" Shen Chuwei looked at Feng Yueyue curiously. Although she was a bit shy, her memory was not bad. Feng Yueyue was originally a noble lady, but was demoted by Xiao Jinyan and moved to Xiaoxiang Pavilion because of her inappropriate words.
"I have not seen Feng Zhaoshun for a long time. I wonder when did Feng Zhaoshun see me hanging out with the guards? Who were the guards? When and where?"
"A month ago, I saw you kissing and doing shameful things with a guard in the middle of the night. It was too dark at the time and I couldn't see the guard's appearance."
After Feng Yueyue finished speaking, she looked at the Empress and said in a serious tone, "Empress, every word I said is true."
Shen Chuwei said: "The truth is to look at the evidence, to catch the thief and the stolen, to catch the adulterer you have to catch both of them, empty words are not enough, I said you were hanging out with the eunuch, is that ok?"
Feng Yueyue was furious. "You are talking nonsense. How could I possibly hang out with the eunuchs? The eunuchs are so mean. Please don't slander them."
The father-in-law who was present overheard the conversation and looked unhappy.
Although it is well known that eunuchs do not have that thing, it is very insulting to their dignity to bring it up in public.
Shen Chu smiled, "Then why do I have to hang out with the guards? Is it because the prince is not handsome enough? His figure is not good enough? Or is it because the prince doesn't come once a year?"
After saying this, she couldn't help but yawn, her voice soft.
Feng Yueyue was stunned for a moment.
Although the Queen questioned Shen Chuwei's behavior, what she said made sense. The Crown Prince was the best among the princes in terms of both appearance and talent.
The prince went to Xiyun Pavilion every few days, so Shen Chuwei would not be so lonely that she would look for a lower-level guard.
Unless Shen Chuwei is blind!
"Feng Zhaoshun, what Shen Liangdi said makes sense. Do you know who that guard is?"
Feng Yueyue said sharply, "Your Majesty, even if I don't know who the guard is, I can prove that Shen Liangdi had an affair with the guard."
This time it's not just fooling around, it's directly an affair.
Adultery is a great crime in the imperial court, and beating to death is a light punishment.
The Queen asked, "What can we do?"
Feng Yueyue said righteously, "Just let Doctor Yu check Shen Liangdi's pulse and you will know."
The queen also had the same idea, so she nodded and agreed, "Doctor Yu, check Shen Liangdi's pulse."
Doctor Yu came out from the side, bowed and saluted, "Yes."
Doctor Yu turned and looked at Shen Chuwei, "Shen Liangdi, please sit down. I will diagnose your pulse."
With Chunxi's help, Shen Chuwei sat down on the chair and put her hands on the table.
Doctor Yu took two steps forward, put down the medicine box, took out the examination pad, took out a square handkerchief and placed it on Shen Chuwei's wrist, then began to take her pulse.
Feng Yueyue raised her chin proudly and looked at Shen Chuwei, you are done for this time.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been demoted and moved to such a remote place, and I wouldn't have been able to see His Highness for several months.
Now it's your turn.
Doctor Yu took his hand away after checking the patient's pulse.
Without waiting for Doctor Yu to report, the Queen asked anxiously, "Doctor Yu, how is it?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is not pregnant." Doctor Yu said.
"Impossible, Doctor Yu must have made a wrong diagnosis."
Feng Yueyue subconsciously thought that Doctor Yu was bribed by Shen Chuwei. She looked at the Empress and said, "Your Majesty, there must be something wrong with this Doctor Yu. Your Majesty, please allow Doctor Yu to come and diagnose my pulse again."
Doctor Yu bowed and said, "I am very sorry that I did not make a mistake. Concubine Shen Liangdi is indeed not pregnant."
"I saw Shen Liangdi having an affair with the guard with my own eyes, and heard her say that she was pregnant. You must have made a wrong diagnosis." Feng Yueyue insisted that Shen Chuwei was pregnant.
The queen pondered for a moment and ordered, "Then send the famous doctor over to check Shen Liangdi's pulse."
"Yes." Qingying responded, then went out and looked for Doctor Yu again.
Shen Chuwei yawned, unable to resist the sleepiness. At this moment, she wished she could just lie down on the table and fall asleep.
Feng Yueyue saw her yawning and sneered, "Shen Liangdi, pregnant women tend to be sleepy. How can you say you are not pregnant when you are so sleepy?"
Shen Chu said gloomily, "It's useless to say more now. Let's wait for Doctor Yu to come and re-diagnose my pulse. One word of result is more useful than ten words from me."
Qingying invited two doctors in one after another. She instructed them, "Check Shen Liangdi's pulse carefully. Don't make any mistakes."
