Chapter 342: The emperor was depressed after discovering her fake pregnancy, and Shen Liangdi's pregnancy was revealed
The more Chang Liangyuan thought about it, the more likely it was. Otherwise, how could there be clothes?
Also, my aunt kept going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, bringing Doctor Yu with her, so I'm afraid she also knew about this.
In order to prove that Shen Liangdi was pregnant, Chang Liangyuan specially sent a capable servant to inquire about the news.
The young eunuch was a close associate of Chang Liangyuan's brother. He entered the palace to repay a favor. He knew kung fu and was also Chang Liangyuan's confidant.
The young eunuch was guarding in the corner and saw Qin Xiao carrying something into Xiaoxiang Pavilion. He tried his best to hide himself because he knew that Qin Xiao was good at kung fu.
This time, Qin Xiao still brought food to Shen Chuwei.
The young eunuch found that Qin Xiao stayed in there for a long time before coming out, so he hurriedly held his breath to avoid being discovered.
"Don't buy anything with strong flavors next time. You are pregnant now and eating it will cause constipation."
Chunxi just saw that all the delicacies Qin Xiao bought were spicy. The young lady is now five months pregnant, how can she eat spicy food often?
"I understand. I won't buy it next time." Qin Xiao said and strode away.
Chunxi was just about to ask Qin Xiao why he always turned around and ran away after giving her something, but before she could ask, he had disappeared.
This guy is so strange. He always runs and runs very fast.
Qin Xiao, who had already run far away, secretly congratulated himself for running fast, otherwise Chunxi might ask him something.
After Chunxi went in, the little eunuch came out from the corner and returned to Xinlan Palace.
He told Chang Liangyuan everything he had seen and heard.
Chang Liangyuan pressed the issue: "Did you hear clearly that Shen Liangdi is really pregnant?"
"I am sure, Chunxi said it himself." The young eunuch replied.
Chang Liangyuan sneered, "Your Highness has been gone for so long, and you're keeping your pregnancy a secret. This child is most likely not yours. Shen Liangdi is really scheming."
"No wonder my aunt suddenly treated Shen Liang Di so well. It must be because Shen Liang Di said that the child was from His Highness. My aunt has always wanted a grandson, so she was easily fooled by Shen Liang Di."
"Aunt is also confused. It is obvious that Shen Liangdi has bad intentions when she hides the truth. How can Aunt still believe Shen Liangdi's words?"
Chang Liangyuan ordered: "Stay at Xiaoxiang Pavilion for the next few days and don't let anyone find you."
"I know." The young eunuch responded and left.
Chang Liangyuan was playing with the comb on the dressing table. The frustration she had been feeling for days was finally relieved. As long as she could find evidence of Shen Liangdi and Qin Xiao having an affair, Shen Liangdi would be finished this time.
The emperor hates unfaithful women the most.
Today, the Queen came to visit Shen Chuwei again with some nourishing soup. Even though the dog emperor kept telling her off, she still delivered the soup to her daughter-in-law without hesitation.
Fortunately, the queen herself was an experienced person, and she only served one bowl of soup, so Shen Chuwei would not feel sick when drinking it.
"Tomorrow my majesty will go to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings. I originally wanted to take you with me, but I was afraid that you would be tired from the journey, so I will go alone."
The Queen prayed for the safety of Shen Chuwei and her child, and also for her own peace of mind, otherwise she would always be worried.
Shen Chuwei was grateful to the Queen for her thoughtful consideration. As someone who loves meat and spicy food, she really couldn't stay in the White Horse Temple during the days of fasting and chanting Buddha's name.
"Your Majesty is indeed very thoughtful. I am indeed inconvenienced by my health."
The queen smiled and said, "Just take care of it."
Shen Chuwei nodded vigorously, "Your Majesty, I will."
Only then did the Queen leave Xiaoxiang Pavilion with peace of mind.
In the evening, the Queen told the Dog Emperor that she was going to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.
The result was directly rejected by the dog emperor
"You are not allowed to go."
The queen looked at the dog emperor in confusion, "I am only going to burn incense and pray for blessings, why can't you let me go?"
The emperor glanced at the empress's belly and said, "I don't allow it, can your body be shaken?"
"What's wrong with my body?" The queen touched her belly. It was just some fat. What's the big deal?
Seeing that the empress was determined to do what she wanted, the emperor simply said directly, "You are pregnant now, how can you run around?"
The queen was stunned when she heard this.
"You are old now, and you finally got pregnant. How can you run around everywhere? After you give birth, can't I accompany you to the White Horse Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings?" The emperor slowed his voice.
The queen looked at the dog emperor in bewilderment, "How did the emperor know that I was pregnant? I didn't even know when I was pregnant."
The emperor said, "Queen, do you still want to hide this from me? A few days ago, I saw you holding your belly and moving slowly. Your belly is bigger than usual. Doesn't this mean you are pregnant?"
The queen was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly remembered how gentle and considerate the dog emperor had been these days, and how he always liked to touch her belly at night.
So he thought he was pregnant?
The emperor added: "It would be even better if this baby was a princess, since we already have two sons."
The Queen looked at the dog emperor with an expectant look on his face. Although she didn't want to disappoint him, she couldn't afford the crime of deceiving the emperor.
"I am not pregnant. I am holding my belly because I am overweight."
The emperor: "Nonsense! You even made clothes for our daughter."
The Queen knew that explanations were useless, so she suggested, "Your Majesty, please ask Doctor Yu to take your pulse and you will know."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but still ordered Eunuch Li to call for doctor Yu.
The doctor who came was Wen Yu. After taking the patient's pulse, the emperor could not wait to ask, "How is it?"
"The Empress is not pregnant." Doctor Wen Yu said cautiously.
The princess the emperor had been waiting for for so long was gone just like that. How could he accept it?
He sat on the chair and looked at the queen's belly. The princess he had been waiting for for so long... was gone!
The Queen looked at the Dog Emperor's appearance and waved her hand towards Doctor Wen Yu.
Doctor Wen Yu understood what he meant and picked up the medicine box and left.
The emperor was heartbroken. The princess he had been waiting for for more than a month was gone.
The queen tugged at the dog emperor's sleeve, "Your Majesty?"
The emperor turned his head away from the empress and did not show any sadness, but he was actually very sad in his heart.
There are still examples of women in the palace vying for favor by faking pregnancy.
The queen felt the need to explain, "Your Majesty, this is not my fault. I have never mentioned that I am pregnant."
The emperor stared at the queen, "You're still bringing it up?"
The queen immediately shut up.
After an oolong incident, the empress took the ceremonial guard to the White Horse Temple to pray for her daughter-in-law and grandchildren, leaving the emperor secretly sad for a long time...
Today, Qin Xiao bought water chestnut flour cake and Taiko smoked pigeon.
Shen Chuwei had never eaten these two delicacies, but she found them delicious after trying them.
Qin Xiao bought something for Chunxi again this time. He planned to give the things to Chunxi and run away.
As a result, Chunxi also learned to be smart. When Qin Xiao came over, she grabbed Qin Xiao's sleeve to prevent him from running away.
Chunxi looked at Qin Xiao with a puzzled look and asked, "Why do you run away every time you deliver something?"
Qin Xiao had just taken out the things and hadn't had time to give them to Chunxi.
"I'm afraid you don't want to."
"..." Chunxi: "So you just ran away?"
Qin Xiao told the truth: "If he ran away, you would just take him."
"Then why do you give me things every now and then? I'm almost feeling guilty for taking so many things." Chunxi knew that one should not receive rewards without doing anything. Qin Xiao gave her a lot of things, and she felt really guilty.
"If you want to give it, just give it. If you think it's inappropriate, then you can return the gift." Qin Xiao spoke frankly, and even the return gift was justified and strong.
Chunxi thought about it for a while, and it seemed to make sense to reciprocate.
"...Good."
Qin Xiao put the things in his hand into Chunxi's hand, "Then you take it."
I turned around and left subconsciously.
Chunxi didn't have much strength, so she just watched Qin Xiao quickly walk out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and disappear at the door.
“…ran away again.”
When the little eunuch saw Qin Xiao walking away, he came out from his small corner, returned to Xinlan Palace, and told Chang Liangyuan everything he had seen.
Chang Liangyuan snorted: "It seems that Shen Liangdi and Qin Xiao have a hidden relationship. Huaixiang, get ready. I'm going to see the emperor."
Huaixiang: “Yes.”
After a stick of incense, Chang Liangyuan walked anxiously to the study.
The emperor had just finished reviewing the memorial when he thought about the death of his daughter whom he had waited so long for. He became secretly sad again.
Eunuch Li bowed and came in, "Your Majesty, Chang Liangyuan wants to see you for something."
When the emperor heard Chang Liangyuan's words, he refused coldly: "I am not free now."
Eunuch Li had served the emperor for many years, and he knew the emperor was unhappy when he heard the tone. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty, Chang Liangyuan said she had something very important to report, which was about the royal heir."
The emperor paused when he heard this, raised his cold eyes and looked at Eunuch Li, "Let her in."
"Yes." Not long after Eunuch Li left, Chang Liangyuan came in. She stepped forward and knelt down to pay her respects. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."
The emperor asked coldly, "Chang Liangyuan, what important things do you want to say?"
Chang Liangyuan slowly raised her head and saw Long Yan shrinking. "Your Majesty, I found out that Shen Liangdi is suddenly pregnant."
The emperor was stunned at first, as if he couldn't believe it: "What did you say? Shen Liangdi is pregnant?"
Chang Liangyuan said in a firm voice: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
The emperor's previous depressed mood was relieved a lot. He couldn't help but smile with joy: "I didn't expect that the prince already has a child. This is a great joy. No wonder the queen goes to Xiaoxiang Pavilion every day. It turns out that it's because Shen Liangdi is pregnant."
"Empress, why didn't you tell me such a happy event?" The emperor was filled with indescribable joy.
Seeing the emperor so happy, Chang Liangyuan sneered in her heart. She thought that the emperor might be happy now, but he would be furious later.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness has been leading the army for more than five months. Concubine Shen Liangdi looks like she is four months pregnant, but her belly is not as big as it would be in five months."
The emperor froze his smile, and looked coldly at Chang Liangyuan below him: "What do you mean by that?"
Chang Liangyuan only felt a chill on her back. She said cautiously, "Your Majesty, Shen Liangdi has been hiding her pregnancy, so there must be something fishy going on. I ran into Shen Liangdi a few days ago, and her belly looked like a four-month pregnant belly. I was worried that Shen Liangdi was up to something, so I came to report this to Your Majesty."
