Chapter 1217 She Doesn’t Believe
Yufei herself didn't believe this fact at all.
She didn't believe she would have a girl.
She had clearly taken her own pulse countless times, and no matter how she took it, she felt that this baby should be a boy.
She also took Concubine Huan's pulse and felt that her pulse was the same as Concubine Huan's, but why, why did Concubine Huan give birth to a son while she gave birth to a daughter?
She and Huan Fei have been so careful with their respective stomachs these days, taking good care of themselves and their stomachs. They check the food they eat again and again every day and never allow for the slightest mistake.
However, something happened to Concubine Huan, and the premature baby was so weak that it was obvious that she might not survive!
If the child is healthy, she can take him in and raise him as her own. Anyway, she and Concubine Huan are both from the Kingdom of Min, so their relationship is naturally much closer than that of anyone else in the harem.
As long as Concubine Huan died, she would be the child's mother.
But he was so weak, so weak, and looked like he couldn't even be raised. She didn't dare to take him over. If he died in her hands, she would be in even greater trouble.
And she herself——
"I don't believe it. Why would I give birth to a girl? I clearly checked my pulse and confirmed that I'm pregnant with a prince, a son!"
Concubine Yu was almost going crazy in the palace. She threw everything she could get her hands on, screamed loudly, and suspected everyone.
"Did someone harm me? Did you exchange my son for a girl? It must be the case, give my son back to me! He was born at the cost of my life for the emperor! He will be the smartest prince! I have been taking care of him for so long, and I read the art of war and strategies to him every day. He will definitely be very smart!"
"Where is he? Where is my son? Who took him away? Return him to me now! You all want to harm us!"
"Is it Concubine Le? Do you think I am from the Min Kingdom, so you are colluding with me and the whole harem is trying to harm me? I am the most favored by the emperor, don't even think about competing with me!"
Concubine Yu had been in a tense mood during this period, and the accident that happened to Concubine Huan half a month ago also upset her.
She had hardly been able to sleep well for the past half month, fearing that she would be framed by someone. She was also very careful about what she ate and even dared not eat too much.
Moreover, she had to check the people around her all day long. She had to watch with her own eyes and check every palace maid's hair, nails, and clothes carefully.
The palace was searched every day, and before going to bed at night, she had to have the palace maids check her bed and quilt three times.
Going on like this, my spirit has actually almost reached the critical point of collapse.
Coupled with the impact of childbirth, Concubine Yu was not feeling well physically and emotionally at this time, but she didn't care about it at all.
She had too high expectations for the child in her belly. She had given up all hope before. Only by giving birth to a son could she gain a firm foothold in the Zhao Kingdom Palace.
Since she became pregnant, she had severed ties with her original master in the State of Min. When the envoys of the State of Min returned, she did not ask them to help bring back letters.
The Min Kingdom must have known what they were thinking. Even if they went back, they would not be trusted as before.
So, giving birth to a little princess completely shattered her dream.
"Empress Yu, the emperor has sent a message, asking you to rest assured and take good care of the little princess in the future, and don't worry too much."
The eunuch came over to pass on the message, but Concubine Yu simply refused to listen.
"Your Majesty, are you disappointed? Eunuch, go and tell the emperor that the child I gave birth to must be a prince, and that the child must have been replaced. This girl is not my child, go and tell the emperor."
The eunuch looked at Concubine Yu's appearance and withdrew.
When this was said in front of the emperor, his face became even uglier.
"Have you found out?"
"Your Majesty, the people who delivered the baby for Concubine Yu were all selected by her personally, and they had no contact with anyone else before and after the birth. We have already checked it out, and there is no chance that they would switch the baby."
"I thought it was impossible. She was watching so closely. I had taken precautions against this before. I ordered that before and after she gave birth, the palace maids were not allowed to carry or hold anything whose original appearance could not be seen. How could she have replaced the child?"
"That child, from what I've seen, has deep eyes and a high nose. He's a little bit similar to the child born to Concubine Huan, but a little different from the child of our Zhao Kingdom. They both obviously have some of the features of the Min Kingdom, there's no doubt about it." The emperor sighed.
He had already asked someone to investigate. After knowing that Concubine Yu had given birth to a little princess, he immediately ordered people to check it carefully, but nothing wrong was found.
Looking at the child's appearance, there's no doubt about it.
Most of the Min people have those facial features.
"I am indeed very disappointed. Concubine Yu was always sure that it would be a son, and I believed it 100%. Now it seems that the people of Min Kingdom are really not trustworthy."
The emperor was truly depressed. He couldn't sleep well that day, and felt even worse the next day.
He originally thought that he would be in high spirits when good things happen to him, and that he would feel better after the birth of the children of Concubine Huan and Concubine Yu. He also had great expectations for these two children. After all, these two children were conceived by the two concubines through a miracle after his previous poor health.
He even felt subconsciously that these two children were most likely sent to him by God, and that they were there with God's will.
Now it seems..
The emperor vomited blood that day.
The palace was in chaos, but the prince was secretly delighted when he found out and became more active.
But at this time, Prince Qiong suddenly came to the capital, stirring up more turmoil.
Prince Jun brought Fu Zhaoning to the palace two or three times, and each time he and his wife left in anger, looking as if they couldn't bear to see them.
After a few times, they simply stayed indoors, saying that they were too lazy to care about what was happening in the palace.
After being deceived time and again, the Crown Prince and others relaxed their vigilance against Prince Jun's Mansion.
Prince Jun also spread the word that people from Qingtong Mountain had repeatedly asked Fu Zhaoning to go there to treat their illnesses, so Fu Zhaoning might go out of the city to Qingtong Mountain on his own.
A few days later, Fu Zhaoning really led his people to leave the capital, and Prince Jun went to see them off. When the Crown Prince and the Emperor's men heard the news, they hurried to stop them, but were stopped by Prince Jun.
"Why? My princess has already joined the Great Medical Association. She is not only Princess Jun, but also Divine Doctor Fu. Now she wants to see patients. Who dares to stop her? If anyone stops her, you can find the Divine Doctors of the Great Medical Association if you have any problems in the future. Don't blame them for not seeing patients."
Everyone felt relieved when they saw that Prince Jun stayed and did not leave with Fu Zhaoning.
As long as they don't leave together as a couple, it's not a big deal.
Prince Jun looked at the prince and dropped another bombshell.
"I feel that the palace is getting more and more boring recently. The emperor asked me to keep the seal before, but now I am tired of keeping it and plan to return it to the emperor. What do you think, prince?"
Prince Jun is going to hand over the seal!
