Chapter 228: Acting skills show, the mastermind behind the scenes emerges
Anyone who heard these symptoms would suspect that she was pregnant, especially the women in the palace, who were all vying for favor and wanted to rely on their sons to gain status.
Doctor Zhao Yuyu was not surprised, but he knew that it was most likely due to the medicine.
"Miss Caixia, wait a minute. I'll pack up and go over."
"Then please hurry up. I'll go back and report right away." Caixia walked out of the Imperial Hospital happily.
Doctor Zhao Yu packed up his medicine box, thought for a moment, and then quickly followed.
"My lady, Doctor Zhao Yu is here."
The two people who were drinking tea and chatting immediately stopped talking when they heard that Doctor Zhao Yu had arrived.
Shen Chuwei took out a small handkerchief, covered her mouth with it and blew it a few times. She felt that her acting skills were definitely better than those of an extra.
Concubine Xu was extremely anxious, "Shen Liang Di, are you feeling like vomiting again?"
Apart from her bad mouth, Concubine Xu's acting skills are also great.
This was the scene that Dr. Zhao Yu saw when he arrived.
Concubine Xu pretended to have just seen Doctor Zhao Yu and waved to him, "Doctor Zhao Yu, come and check Shen Liangdi's pulse."
Doctor Zhao Yu took two steps forward and bowed, "I will now examine Lady Shen Liangdi's pulse."
As he said this, he put down the medicine box, opened it, took out the medical pad and placed it on the round table.
"Shen Liangdi, stretch out your hand."
Shen Chu nodded slightly, placed his hand on the examination pad, and rolled up a small section of his slender wrist.
Doctor Zhao Yu took out a silk handkerchief and placed it on that wrist, then took the patient's pulse.
The whole process was done very carefully.
Shen Chuwei turned to Chunxi and said, "Prepare some sour oranges. I want to eat some."
Concubine Xu smiled and said, "Shen Liang Di, if it is really a pregnancy, it is said that sour boys and spicy girls are more likely to be pregnant. This is definitely a boy, which means it will be your Highness's eldest son."
Concubine Xu was well-known for her straightforward words, and Doctor Zhao Yu had heard of this, so he was not surprised at her words.
Shen Chuwei raised her handkerchief to hide her smile and said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense. Listen to what Doctor Yu says first."
Doctor Zhao Yu saw Shen Chuwei's snickering reaction as happiness. Anyone would feel vain and happy when they think they are pregnant.
When Concubine Xu saw Doctor Zhao Yu withdraw his hand, she asked, "Doctor Zhao Yu, what's going on? Are you pregnant?"
Shen Chuwei also looked at Doctor Zhao Yu with anticipation.
Doctor Zhao Yu took back the handkerchief, looked up at Shen Liangdi and Xu Concubine, and seeing their expectant faces, he replied respectfully: "Shen Liangdi is indeed pregnant."
"Really?" Concubine Xu slapped her thigh happily.
Shen Chuwei watched Xu Cefei slap her thigh and wondered where she learned it from.
"I was saying that the recipe for conceiving a child is effective. You see, I didn't conceive after sleeping with you so many times before, but this time I conceived after using the recipe for conceiving a child."
After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she looked at Doctor Zhao Yu again, with a happy face, "Doctor Zhao Yu, your prescription for having a child is really useful."
Shen Chuwei said: "There is a reward."
Chunxi took out some gold from his pocket and gave it to Doctor Zhao Yu.
Doctor Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Shen Liangdi and Xu Cefei were really stupid. He reached out to take the gold and bowed to express his gratitude.
Shen Chuwei looked at the deposit and felt a little pain in her heart, but when she thought that it would be returned soon, she felt relieved.
"Dr. Zhao Yu's medical skills are so good, so let him take care of the pregnancy in the future."
Doctor Zhao Yu agreed and was about to leave while packing his medicine box.
Shen Chuwei called him again, "Doctor Zhao Yu, I feel nauseous and want to vomit. Do you have any prescription to relieve it? It's so uncomfortable."
Doctor Zhao Yu paused for a moment and said, "I have a prescription you can try."
As he said this, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a prescription and handed it to Chunxi.
After Doctor Zhao Yu left, Shen Chuwei compared the prescription for having a child with the previous prescription and found that the handwriting was the same.
Looking at the prescription again, it is actually a prescription for inducing menstruation.
Concubine Xu came over and looked at the prescription but couldn't understand it, so she asked Shen Chuwei, "Shen Liangdi, what is this prescription?"
Shen Chuwei said: "A prescription to induce menstruation."
"I understand. Now that you know you are pregnant, you must have informed His Highness immediately. Now I am prescribing you a prescription to induce your menstruation so that I can expose you later." Concubine Xu couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
Shen Chuwei raised his head and ordered: "Chunxi, go tell His Highness that Doctor Zhao Yu checked my pulse and said that I am pregnant."
"I'll go right away." After receiving the order, Chunxi ran out of the Hehuan Palace and ran into the bedroom next door like a gust of wind.
Doctor Zhao Yu did not walk far after he came out. He hid behind the corner of the wall and saw Chunxi running all the way into the prince's bedroom. He could tell at a glance that Chunxi was too vain to tell His Highness about Yuxi's encounter in such a hurry.
Doctor Zhao Yu turned around and left the East Palace, passing through Xinlan Palace and walked in when no one was around.
Chang Liangdi was trying on the Crown Princess's dress, which was bright red, a color that only the wife could wear.
The dress is gorgeous and luxurious, which a concubine cannot wear on a normal day.
When she thought about the fact that she would be able to wear this dress tomorrow and become the Crown Princess, Xiao Jinyan's legal wife, and the future Empress, a smug smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her lips.
Huaixiang came in and reported, "My lady, Doctor Zhao Yu is here."
When Chang Liangdi heard Doctor Zhao Yu, she raised her lips again and said, "Let him in."
"Yes." Huaixiang turned around and walked out.
Doctor Zhao Yu came in and bowed, "Chang Liang Di."
Chang Liangdi stroked her dress with one hand and looked up at Doctor Zhao Yu, "Is there any news?"
Doctor Zhao Yu said, "Chang Liang Di, Concubine Xu asked for the prescription for having a child not for herself, but for Shen Liang Di."
"Shen Liang Di?" Chang Liang Di snorted coldly: "I didn't realize that Concubine Xu was so loyal to Shen Liang Di, what's the result?"
"After Shen Liangdi took the prescription, she showed symptoms of pregnancy. I just took her pulse and she told me that she was pregnant." Doctor Zhao Yu reported truthfully.
Chang Liangdi originally wanted to overthrow Concubine Xu by asking for a child, but she didn't expect that by accident she used it on Shen Liangdi, which was exactly what she wanted.
"Your Highness dotes on Concubine Shen Liang. She has been sleeping with him for so long and there is no news. She must be worried. Now that you say you are pregnant, I will definitely not doubt it."
Chang Liangdi said quietly, "If this matter is accomplished, you will definitely enjoy glory and wealth."
"Thank you, Chang Liangdi..." Doctor Zhao Yu changed his words: "It was the Crown Princess who promoted me."
Chang Liang Di's face lit up with pride when she heard the words "Crown Princess". She said, "Be careful, or someone will find out."
Doctor Zhao Yu responded and returned to the Imperial Hospital.
Chang Liangdi lowered her eyes and looked at the dress, somewhat impatient to put it on.
The appointment of the Crown Princess was a done deal, and she suddenly looked forward to the tragedy that would occur when Shen Liangdi's fake pregnancy to win favor was discovered.
Even if you try to seduce Xiao Jinyan to win favor and please the queen, she will hate you then.
Chang Liangdi took a sip of tea, thinking that His Highness would definitely be happy to go to Hehuan Palace to visit Shen Chuwei.
"Huaixiang, get ready. I'm going to the Hehuan Palace."
*
After Chunxi reported it, Xiao Jinyan hurried to the Hehuan Palace.
As soon as I walked out of the bedroom, I met Chang Liangdi who had just rushed over.
Chang Liang Di stepped forward and bowed, her brows full of a gentle smile, "Your Highness, where are you going in such a hurry?"
When Xiao Jinyan saw Chang Liangdi, he said in a lukewarm voice: "I want to go to the Hehuan Palace."
