Chapter 223: Worried and angry



Shen Chuwei thought Chunxi was worried sick about her getting pregnant. Now she looked at Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui, who were also worried sick about her getting pregnant.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so anxious to get me pregnant?"

"Alas! We can't get pregnant even if we want to. Your Highness doesn't come to our place, so how can we have a chance?"

After Concubine Xu finished speaking, she grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand and said excitedly, "You are different. Your Highness goes there every other day, and the chances of you getting pregnant are very high. As long as you get pregnant, the Queen's first grandson will come out of your belly, and you will have the opportunity to compete with Concubine Chang for the position of Crown Princess."

Tao Chenghui nodded vigorously, "What Concubine Xu said makes sense."

Shen Chuwei was reluctant to refuse the kindness, so she took the prescription from Concubine Xu.

She took the prescription and looked at it carefully, frowned, and looked at Concubine Xu in confusion, "This is not a prescription for having a child."

Concubine Xu was confused, "But the imperial physician said this is a prescription for having a child."

Shen Chuwei shook his head, "No, this is a recipe for false pregnancy. It can delay your period and cause nausea, which is the symptom of morning sickness."

Concubine Xu said angrily: "Why did the imperial physician tell me that this is a prescription for having a child? Isn't this a lie?"

Shen Chu nodded slightly, "I'm afraid he was deliberately deceiving you. It's impossible for the imperial physician not to know what the medicine above does."

Tao Chenghui only thought about it carefully and found that there was something strange about this recipe. "I'm afraid this matter is not simple. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

Concubine Xu was immediately furious when she thought someone was deliberately slandering her. "I'm going to settle accounts with the imperial physician. How dare you slander me?"

Tao Chenghui grabbed Concubine Xu and said, "This matter cannot be made public. If someone with ulterior motives finds out, they will bite you back and you won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a hundred mouths."

When Concubine Xu heard what Tao Chenghui said, she was also shocked. The consequences of being discovered while faking pregnancy to win favor would be very serious.

She said unwillingly: "Then what should I do? Why can't I let people talk about it in vain."

Shen Chuwei asked: "Did you say that this recipe for having a child was for me?"

Concubine Xu shook her head. "I didn't tell you who I gave it to, and the imperial physician didn't ask. I guess he thought I asked for it for myself."

Tao Chenghui analyzed: "If we want to catch the mastermind behind this, we need evidence to prove that the imperial physician is lying."

Shen Chuwei thought for a moment and said, "There is only one way to prove that the imperial physician is lying. That is to pretend that you are pregnant and let the imperial physician take your pulse and have him say in person that you are pregnant."

Concubine Xu suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. Then I will pretend to be pregnant and let the imperial physician take my pulse."

Tao Chenghui reminded: "Your Highness must stay at your place for the night, otherwise it will be easily exposed."

When Concubine Xu was mentioned, she became angry. "What can I do if His Highness doesn't come? I took the initiative, but I was either caught by a snowball or scalded by tea. I won't go."

Tao Chenghui spread his hands and said, "Then there is nothing we can do."

Concubine Xu said unwillingly: "But we can't let that imperial physician go either."

Tao Chenghui comforted him, "Put away the prescription first, and then we will think about the countermeasures."

At this time, Liu Xi pushed open the door of the study room in the prince's bedroom and came in to report: "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Wen wants to see you."

Xiao Jinyan said without even raising his head: "Let him in."

"Yes." After Liu Xi went out, Imperial Physician Wen came in after a while.

Imperial Physician Wen stepped forward and bowed, "I am your humble servant, here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jinyan raised his head and glanced at Imperial Doctor Wen, "What's the matter with Imperial Doctor Wen?"

Imperial Physician Wen lowered his brows and nodded, "Your Highness, today in the Imperial Hospital, I accidentally saw Concubine Xu asking Imperial Physician Zhao for a prescription for having a child. There was something wrong with the prescription, and I felt something was wrong, so I came here to report it."

Xiao Jinyan frowned, "A recipe for having a child?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted. What the hell is Concubine Xu doing?

What's the point of praying for a child if you don't sleep with him? Xiao Jinyan: "Liu Xi."

Liu Xi strode in, "The servant is here."

Xiao Jinyan asked: "What did Concubine Xu do today?"

"Your Highness, just now when I went out, I saw Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui going to the Hehuan Palace together. It seemed like they had something important to say." Liu Xi said.

When Xiao Jinyan heard that Concubine Xu had gone to the Hehuan Palace, his brows furrowed even tighter. Could it be that she had gone to Xiaojiu with the recipe for having a child? Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Jinyan clenched the pen in his hand and said, Concubine Xu, dare you touch Shen Chuwei?

He ordered in a cold voice: "Liu Xi, go next door and tell Shen Liangdi that I will be there for dinner."

"Yes." Liu Xi took the order and went next door.

When he arrived, Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui were still there, chatting about something. When they saw Liu Xi coming, they stopped chatting.

Liu Xi glanced at Concubine Xu calmly, "Dear Concubine Shen, His Highness said he will come over for dinner tonight, so prepare it early."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Shen Chuwei said in a gentle voice: "I understand. Thank you, Eunuch Liu, for reminding me."

"Then I will go back and report." Liu Xi glanced at Concubine Xu again before leaving.

Concubine Xu did not notice Liu Xi's ambiguous look. She looked at Shen Chuwei and said, "Look, His Highness is here again. Your chances of getting pregnant are very high. Try your best tonight and be the first to get pregnant with His Highness's child, which will be the eldest son. I'll see what Concubine Chang Liang can do to compete with you!"

Tao Chenghui also clenched his fist and echoed: "Shen Liangdi, come on!!!"

Shen Chuwei looked at Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui with anticipation on their faces, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Neither she nor Xiao Jinyan were looking forward to the baby's arrival, but Concubine Xu and Tao Chenghui were so looking forward to it.

It was as if I was pregnant, and they were the ones who were going to be mothers~ Before dinner, Chunxi asked Shen Chuwei: "My lady, last time His Highness bullied you like that, I will not give him salt tonight."

Shen Chuwei looked at Chunxi in shock, "How dare you not add salt?"

Chunxi straightened her chest and said, "Why should I be afraid? If Your Highness asks, I will say I forgot."

Shen Chuwei gave a thumbs up, "Your courage is commendable!"

It happened several days ago, but Chunxi still remembered it.

"I will go and make your favorite dishes right away, one of which will not have salt in it." Chunxi chuckled twice and rushed to the small kitchen.

Seeing that Chun Lai was serious, Shen Chuwei hurriedly called her: "Chun Xi, you must add salt, otherwise the dish will be inedible."

Chunxi asked in confusion: "Why is the young lady so protective of His Highness? His Highness is bullying the young lady."

Shen Chuwei paused and explained, "Of course I'm worried that His Highness will be angry. He's been so busy all day, and he finally gets to eat a hot meal, but it turns out there's no salt in it. He'll definitely be furious. Watch your little head."

Chunxi was so frightened that she just cooked seriously and in accordance with the rules.

Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi went to the small kitchen, so he should have understood~

At dinner time, Xiao Jinyan came for dinner as promised.

Chunxi placed the dishes on the table one by one.
