Chapter 84: Coquetry is useless
Doctor Yu frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Replying to Eunuch Li, Concubine Shen has no obvious symptoms of smallpox, but her pulse is a little strange."
"How strange?"
"Something different from a normal pulse."
Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little worried when she heard what Doctor Yu said, "Doctor Yu, what happened to my young master?"
Doctor Yu was at a loss for words, so he said, "Shen Liang Di's pulse is generally normal, and she has no symptoms of smallpox."
"My young lady has always been fine, how could she get smallpox?" Chunxi blinked at Shen Chuwei and finally got through this hurdle.
Doctor Yu came to Eunuch Li and repeated his pulse diagnosis.
"Eunuch Li, I can confirm that Shen Liangdi is not in serious trouble."
Eunuch Li nodded and said, "In that case, go back and report!"
After saying this, he flicked the dust whisk and left.
The two doctors also left.
Chunxi came out and sent Eunuch Li out, "Eunuch Li, take care."
After Eunuch Li came out, he took away all the guards of Xiyun Pavilion.
The little rabbit was also released by the guards. He ran in hastily and saw Chunxi at the door. He asked anxiously, "Is the young master okay?"
Chunxi smiled, "It's okay, don't worry."
The little rabbit breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I just saw that Eunuch Li brought so many guards. I didn't even have time to inform His Highness."
Eunuch Li took Doctor Yu back to Yu's study.
At this time, the atmosphere in Yu's study was a little tense.
Xiao Jinyan had been paying attention to the movement at the door. He saw Eunuch Li coming back out of the corner of his eye, and his hands hanging at his sides couldn't help but clench into fists.
When the Empress saw Eunuch Li coming back, she was a little nervous. If Concubine Shen was diagnosed with smallpox, it would mean that Concubine Yu's report was successful, the Crown Prince would be punished, and Concubine Yu would win.
I'm afraid even the emperor will be inclined towards Concubine Yu.
Eunuch Li stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, according to the doctor's diagnosis, Concubine Shen has not contracted smallpox."
Xiao Jinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything would be fine as long as he was not diagnosed with smallpox.
The Queen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. She smiled and looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, did you hear that? It's clear that someone deliberately framed him. How could the Prince be so foolish as to do such a thing?"
The emperor nodded and said, "The queen is right. Now that the truth has been uncovered, it is true that the prince was wrongly blamed."
Shen Chuwei did not have smallpox, which made Xiao Jinyan more confident. He lowered his brows and nodded: "Father is not wrong. Father is just concerned about the safety of the palace, so he is so eager to control the situation. The mistake is that someone used Zixu Wuyou's incident to frame his son."
The Queen nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is right. Some people just like to make wild guesses and say black when white is white. Your Majesty must discipline them, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble they will stir up in the future."
The emperor hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Li, go and call Concubine Yu over."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Li received the order and went to Yinyue Palace.
At this time, Concubine Yu was drinking tea leisurely with a smug smile on her face.
Concubine Yu was about the same age as the Empress, and her pretty face had been carefully maintained, making her look much younger than people of the same age.
Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but ask, "Mother, can father really depose Xiao Jinyan from the position of crown prince this time?"
Concubine Yu Gui took a sip of tea, "Xuan'er, you don't know the emperor at all. The emperor hates it most when others deceive him, let alone the prince. The emperor has very high standards for the prince and does not allow him to make mistakes. At this moment, the emperor may have already questioned him."
"That's good. As long as Xiao Jinyan is deposed as the crown prince, then the crown prince will be none other than me." Xiao Yunxuan was a little excited. He had waited for this moment for too long.
Mei Yue, the personal maid, trotted in and reported, "Madam, Eunuch Li is here."
Concubine Yu Gui smiled smugly, "Look, Eunuch Li is here, who knows what he'll give us as a reward."
Eunuch Li walked in quickly and saw Prince Xuan was also there. He greeted Xiao Yunxuan first, "Prince Xuan."
After saying this, he looked at Concubine Yu on the throne and said, "Concubine Yu, the Emperor has summoned you."
Concubine Yu did not take it seriously. She put down the teacup in her hand and slowly stood up. "Let's go, Eunuch Li."
Concubine Yu twisted her slender waist and walked out of Yinyue Palace, got on the sedan chair, and then went to Yu's study.
Concubine Yu walked into the study room holding up the hem of her skirt and saw the Crown Prince and the Empress were there. She noticed that the atmosphere was a little unusual. She just thought that the Emperor was very angry about this matter and didn't think about anything else.
She bowed to the emperor with a smile on her face and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor asked in a deep voice: "Concubine Yu, how did you know that Concubine Shen Liangdi had smallpox?"
"Your Majesty, when I was visiting the Yu Garden yesterday, I heard that after Concubine Shen Liangdi came back from visiting her relatives, she stayed indoors and refused to see anyone. The carriage she rode in was also damaged. I felt something was amiss, so I sent someone to inquire, and I heard shocking news. I did not dare to delay and told Your Majesty about it." said Concubine Yu.
The Queen was angry at the moment. Seeing Concubine Yu Gui, she sneered and said, "Sister, you are really very smart. You have ears and eyes everywhere. I didn't hear any news. Then tell me, who was the person who revealed the shocking news to you? What did he say to make you believe it and tell the emperor that the prince was trying to deceive the emperor?"
After hearing the Queen's sharp words, Concubine Yu felt guilty, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that."
The emperor said coldly: "The doctor has just checked Shen Liangdi's pulse and found that she has not been infected with smallpox."
Concubine Yu was stunned for a moment. How could it be possible?
The news she received was that Shen Liangdi had contracted smallpox.
Did Shen Liangyuan deliberately say that Shen Liangdi had contracted smallpox?
Concubine Yu Gui said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what's going on."
Xiao Jinyan heard Concubine Yu mentioned Shen Liangyuan in her heart. Could this matter be related to Shen Liangyuan?
The queen really wanted to slap her a few times. She clearly framed the prince but she pretended to be innocent?
"Sister, you are really good at joking. If you don't know, who would know? Didn't you say that?"
Concubine Yu said she was innocent. "Sister Queen, you misunderstood me. I was just worried about the prince's safety. Smallpox is not a joke."
The emperor was upset and had a headache. He shouted angrily, "Okay, Concubine Yu is not telling the truth. Go back and reflect on your mistakes!"
Concubine Yu looked at the emperor aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, this really has nothing to do with me."
Concubine Yu was asked to leave by Eunuch Li.
The queen was somewhat dissatisfied. It was too easy for the turtle!
This matter has come to an end.
Xiao Jinyan did not stay long. He glanced at the empress, then left Yu's study and went to Xiyun Pavilion.
Shen Chuwei did not lie on the couch today because she had been confined to the house for the past few days due to suspected smallpox. The weather was fine today, so she fed the chickens with vegetable leaves and basked in the sun.
"Eat more and grow up quickly so you can lay eggs."
This was the scene that Xiao Jinyan saw when he arrived. He thought that she would be frightened out of her wits after what had just happened, but she was actually feeding the little guy leisurely.
