Chapter 343: Face to face with the imperial physician, domineering and protecting his shortcomings



The emperor looked at Chang Liangyuan coldly, "Chang Liangyuan, is what you said true?"

Chang Liangyuan said in a firm voice: "Your Majesty, everything I said is true."

The emperor's sharp eyes were filled with rage: "Eunuch Li, call Shen Liangdi over to me."

"Yes." Eunuch Li knew that something big had happened and hurriedly retreated.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Chang Liangyuan's eyes, "Shen Liangdi, now that your aunt is not here, there is no one to protect you. You are really finished this time."

Xiaoxiang Pavilion

After Shen Chuwei had eaten and drunk her fill, she lay down on the couch and fell asleep almost instantly.

She heard Chunxi calling her in a daze.

"My lord, wake up, wake up."

"Something bad has happened."

Shen Chuwei opened her eyes with difficulty and saw Chunxi, who looked anxious. She was so sleepy that she asked, "What happened?"

Chunxi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "Eunuch Li said that the emperor wants to see you. I'm afraid something bad has happened."

Shen Chuwei was stunned for a moment when she heard that. It was nothing serious. Eunuch Li would not come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It was no wonder that Chunxi was so anxious.

"It's okay, let's go and take a look." It's impossible not to go and see, because it's difficult to disobey the emperor's order~

"My lady, let me get some cloth to wrap your belly."

Chunxi was about to get the cloth when Shen Chuwei stopped her, "No need to cover it. I don't think the emperor would see us for no reason. Instead of hiding it, it's better to be open and honest."

Chunxi said worriedly, "But His Highness and the Empress are not here. What if the Emperor makes things difficult for me? I don't even have anyone to back me up."

Shen Chuwei patted Chunxi's shoulder soothingly, "Don't be afraid, we haven't done anything bad."

"...But." Chunxi was still a little worried.

Eunuch Li was still waiting outside, so the two of them didn't dare to linger too long and hurried out from the inner room.

Shen Chuwei has a petite figure and was wearing loose clothes, so her pregnant belly was not very obvious.

Eunuch Li took a closer look before speaking, "Shen Liang Di, the Emperor has an urgent matter and wants to summon Shen Liang Di."

Because it was a matter of the Eastern Palace, it was inconvenient to handle it in the Imperial Study. Even though the Queen was not there, the Emperor still chose to handle the matter in Fengyi Palace.

Shen Chuwei said, "Thank you, Eunuch Li, for leading the way."

Eunuch Li flicked his whisk and walked ahead.

Shen Chuwei followed Eunuch Li slowly to Fengyi Palace.

Eunuch Li stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is here."

Shen Chuwei stepped into the bedroom and saw another person standing in the center of the hall, Chang Liangyuan.

At this moment, Chang Liangyuan was looking over here with an ambiguous smile in her eyes.

Shen Chuwei withdrew her gaze and took a few steps forward. Because of her belly, she knelt down a little slowly.

Chunxi supported him and knelt down with him.

The emperor lowered his eyes and watched Shen Chuwei's movements. He could see the problem at a glance. He looked at her belly. Because of her kneeling posture, he could see the bulging curve.

Shen Chuwei kowtowed and said, "May the emperor be blessed with good health."

Chunxi also kowtowed, "May the emperor be blessed with good health."

The emperor looked at Shen Chuwei, with a rage brewing in his eyes. He asked coldly, "Shen Liangdi, Chang Liangyuan said you are pregnant? Whose baby is it?"

Shen Chuwei said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am indeed pregnant. Of course, it is your Highness's."

Chang Liangyuan snorted, "Shen Liang Di, the Empress is kindhearted, so she was fooled by you. The Emperor is wise and decisive, and you can't fool him. His Highness has been leading the army in person for more than four months, how could it be His Highness?"

Shen Chuwei raised her head and looked at Chang Liangyuan, retorting: "I'm five months pregnant, how come it's not your highness's?"

"Although I have never experienced pregnancy, I have seen pregnant women. Their bellies at five months are much bigger than yours."

Chang Liangyuan looked at the emperor and bowed, "Your Majesty, ask the imperial physician to take Shen Liangdi's pulse and we'll know."

Shen Chuwei nodded in agreement, "I also think it is most appropriate to let the imperial physician take your pulse."

Chunxi was so anxious that she was dying. Chang Liangyuan was really disgusting. She actually said that the lady was not pregnant with His Highness's child?

At first, he didn't believe Chang Liangyuan when she said Shen Liangdi was pregnant, because the imperial physician had diagnosed Shen Liangdi as having difficulty conceiving. Who would believe her when she suddenly said she was pregnant?

Now I have seen it with my own eyes, and Shen Liangdi has admitted it herself, which means that Shen Liangdi can still get pregnant.

Unfortunately, the baby in Shen Liangdi’s belly may not be the prince’s.

The emperor also felt that what Chang Liangyuan said made sense, and he would know the truth after a quick investigation.

He ordered in a cold voice: "Eunuch Li, call the imperial physician over."

"Yes." Eunuch Li took the order and went to invite the imperial physician.

Inside the hall, it was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

Shen Chuwei had been kneeling on the ground. She had never knelt for such a long time in all her years, but she couldn't get up unless the emperor told her to.

After a long while, Eunuch Li came in with the imperial physician.

The imperial physician stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed with good health."

The emperor ordered in a cold voice: "Take Shen Liangdi's pulse and see how many months she is pregnant?"

"I obey your command." The imperial physician took a few steps forward and came in front of Shen Chuwei. After putting down the medicine box, he took out a square handkerchief and placed it on Shen Chuwei's wrist, then took his pulse.

Shen Chuwei cooperated unconditionally throughout the process.

After the imperial physician finished examining the patient, the emperor could not wait to ask, "What is the result?"

The imperial physician lowered his brows and nodded: "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been pregnant for more than four months."

The emperor, who had just experienced the incident of Concubine Chu getting pregnant after having an affair with a guard, was furious when he heard the words of the imperial physician.

He could not tolerate unfaithful women.

"Shen Liang Di, the Queen has been so protective of you. Not only did you deceive the Queen, you also betrayed her trust! Who is the man you had an affair with? Why don't you confess the truth?"

Chunxi was so angry that she wanted to yell, but in front of the emperor, she could only hold back: "Your Majesty, my young lady has been pregnant for more than five months, and she became pregnant not long after His Highness left."

Shen Chuwei glanced at the imperial physician, whose hair had turned gray, and who was still lying with his eyes open, "Your Majesty, I have been pregnant for more than five months, and the imperial physician must have made a wrong diagnosis."

The emperor sneered: "Shen Liang Di, he is the best imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital, and you actually question him?"

Shen Chuwei said: "I am only telling the truth. If the emperor doesn't believe me, you can find another imperial physician to diagnose my pulse."

The emperor looked at Shen Liangdi coldly, and saw that her back was straight and she didn't look guilty at all.

He pondered for a moment and ordered, "Eunuch Li, go find the imperial physician."

“Yes.”

Eunuch Li withdrew again to find the imperial physician.

This time, Eunuch Li brought two imperial doctors, one was Imperial Doctor Wen and the other was Imperial Doctor Feng.

The two imperial doctors came forward and bowed to the emperor.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

The emperor ordered in a cold voice, "You, check Shen Liangdi's pulse. She has been pregnant for several months."

The two said in unison: "We obey your order."

The first person to take the patient's pulse was Imperial Physician Feng, and after taking the patient's pulse, he came to the conclusion.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has been pregnant for more than four months."

Chunxi was stunned, this was impossible.

Not only Chunxi was shocked, but even Shen Chuwei was shocked. One imperial physician lied with open eyes, two imperial physicians lied with open eyes... They really couldn't wash themselves clean even if they jumped into the Yellow River.

The emperor suddenly gripped the armrest of the throne and looked at Shen Liangdi with a cold look, "Shen Liangdi, do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Chuwei said: "Your Majesty, I have indeed been pregnant for more than five months."

The emperor said sternly: "One imperial physician said the diagnosis was wrong. Are both imperial physicians wrong? I don't want to hear your excuses."

He then looked at Chang Liangyuan and asked coldly, "Chang Liangyuan, do you know who the man who had an affair with Shen Liangdi is?"

Chang Liangyuan looked at Shen Liangdi who was at a loss for words, and all the unhappiness that had been pent up for a long time was relieved at this moment. Shen Liangdi, you have no chance of turning things around this time.

"Your Majesty, it was your highness' personal bodyguard Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao frequently went in and out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion after your highness left, and he would buy a lot of things every time he went."

Imperial Physician Wen stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Chang Liangyuan looked at him with a half-smile: "Doctor Wen, I heard that you are very close to Shen Liangdi, could you be bribed?"

"I have not been bribed by Concubine Shen, Your Majesty the Queen..."

Imperial Doctor Wen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by the emperor: "Shut up!"

Imperial Physician Wen knelt down hastily and said boldly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has indeed been pregnant for more than five months."

The emperor couldn't listen to what Doctor Wen said at this moment. He ordered, "Come here, take Doctor Wen away."

Imperial Physician Wen wanted to say a few more words but was pulled away by two guards.

The emperor ordered again: "Come, bring Shen Liangdi..."

"Father."

Xiao Jinyu strode in with an anxious look on his face.

The emperor saw Xiao Jinyu and was a little confused: "Yu'er, why are you here?"

Xiao Jinyu stepped forward to greet him: "If your son doesn't come, will your father take action against Shen Liang Di? That's the Crown Prince's child, and your father's grandson. How can your father treat your grandson like this?"

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyu who fell from the sky. He was indeed Xiao Jinyan's younger brother and he came at the right time.

"Yuer, you are still young and don't understand." The emperor glanced at Shen Chuwei.

"..." Shen Chuwei said that she was innocent~

The emperor continued, "The prince has been away from the capital for nearly five months, and Concubine Shen has been pregnant for more than four months. Do you think this child is still the prince's?"

"Shen Liangdi is clearly more than five months pregnant." Xiao Jinyu said as he came to Shen Chuwei and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Sister-in-law, let me help you up."

Although Shen Chuwei wanted to remember it, the emperor's cold eyes were watching her. She asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that the emperor will blame you?"

Xiao Jinyu chuckled twice: "Don't be afraid, my father and mother love me the most and they won't be willing to punish me severely."

Shen Chuwei heard this and realized that people who are favored can be fearless.

Only then did she let Xiao Jinyu help her up.

Xiao Jinyu glanced at the two imperial doctors present again, pointed at their noses, and was about to beat them up.

"Which quack doctor said that? Stand up for me. Are you old and confused, or are you blinded by money?"
