Chapter 122
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi, won't you be promoted as soon as this baby is born?" Concubine Li said softly.
She is very thin now, but in good health.
She has changed from her previous talkative self. Now she doesn't talk much, but every time she says something, she makes the point.
"Yes, our Concubine Yi is so noble. Once this child is born, she will be a noble concubine." Concubine Feng sneered: "There are many pregnant women and births in the palace, but it is rare to see someone who sees the imperial physician every day."
The queen changed her sitting position and asked, "What's going on with Concubine Yi?"
Emei stepped forward and said, "In reply to your Majesty, Concubine Yi... specifically sought out Imperial Physician Mi. As for Imperial Physician Mi, do you want me to ask someone to go ask him?"
"Send someone to summon Doctor Mi here. You all want to know, so stay and listen." said the Queen.
Naturally, everyone wanted to hear it, so they all agreed.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Mi came over. He had just returned to the Imperial Medical Office.
He was also nervous, he had an idea in his mind, but maybe he couldn't tell it?
Imperial Physician Mi is nearly forty years old this year. He is a handsome imperial physician and the kind of person who makes people feel comfortable when they look at him.
He entered the main hall of Fengzao Palace and paid his respects to the queen and everyone else.
"Please take a seat," said the Queen.
A eunuch then brought a stool over and asked Doctor Mi to sit there.
This made Doctor Mi even more nervous. There was the Empress above him and concubines on both sides. He felt that he would not be able to pass this test unless he told the truth.
But how could she tell the truth? "Doctor Mi, I and all the concubines are curious, what's wrong with Concubine Yi's pregnancy? How can she be fine just by seeing the doctor every day? As the queen, I have to ask." said the queen.
Doctor Mi hurriedly said, "The Queen is kind and tolerant, so she will naturally show her concern."
He paused for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has not been pregnant for many years. It was originally because of the excessive coldness of the uterus, which was a problem brought from her mother's womb. In addition, Concubine Yi has a bad spleen and stomach, and her body is weak. Therefore, it is not easy for her to get pregnant this time. Because every time the fetus has some changes, Concubine Yi has abdominal pain and discomfort, so she called the imperial physician."
"According to what you said, you can just prescribe the medicine and go there every day, and it will be effective?" Concubine Feng said.
"In reply to what Her Majesty Shufei said, I naturally know the answer, but Your Majesty is just pregnant now and she feels uncomfortable every time... I can't refuse." Imperial Doctor Mi was also worried.
"I didn't know that Concubine Yi was in such poor health in the past." Concubine Kangde said with a smile.
Doctor Mi was startled. This exposed Concubine Yi...
He knew that the harem was full of infighting, but the premise for protecting Concubine Yi was that he could protect himself...
"What the imperial physician means is that it was so difficult for Concubine Yi to have a baby this time, and it was also difficult for Concubine Yi to get pregnant. But is it your contribution, Imperial Physician Mi? Do you have any good medicine? If you do, you'd better not keep it to yourself." Shen Chuliu said.
After hearing this, everyone went to see Doctor Mi.
It is no secret that Concubine Yi took drugs to force herself to get pregnant.
Shen Chuliu's question inevitably made many people want to know what the medicine was.
After all, not everyone knows that Concubine Yi got the medicine from outside.
Although he couldn't ask directly, the meaning of this question scared Doctor Mi a lot.
He is just an imperial physician, how dare he prepare those medicines for the imperial concubines?
He was so scared that he stood up immediately and said, "Lady Jing has misunderstood. I don't have the ability to do that. It's just that the fetus of Concubine Yi is not very stable. All I can do is to take care of the fetus for you. Although Concubine Yi is weak, it is a blessing from heaven that she is pregnant."
Shen Chuliu smiled: "What's the matter? I just asked. If it's true, maybe the sisters can benefit from it. If it's not true, then it's nothing. Doctor Mi...if he didn't know, he would think he did something. Why is he so nervous?"
Lady Li continued, "Look at Doctor Mi like this... could there really be something wrong?"
"Yes, Doctor Mi, you are not right." Ying Xiaoyi also laughed.
Doctor Mi was sweating profusely and knelt down in front of the queen. "Your Majesty, please understand. The masters have misunderstood me. How dare I!"
"Every time I prescribe a medicine, the Imperial Medical Bureau keeps a record. How dare I do anything rash? Please, Queen, please understand."
The queen was in no hurry to speak. After a long while, when Imperial Physician Mi was sweating profusely, she finally said, "Jing Meiren Li Meiren is naughty. How can the Imperial Physician's Office be so reckless? Concubine Yi's pregnancy is God's will."
"Yes, Queen, please forgive me. I was just asking, but I didn't know that Doctor Mi was so nervous." Shen Chuliu smiled and bowed to Doctor Mi: "Doctor Mi, please don't blame me."
"I dare not, I dare not." Doctor Mi hurriedly dodged, not daring to accept the courtesy of the concubine.
"Okay. Since Concubine Yi can't do without you, you should serve her always." The Queen said indifferently.
But when these words entered the ears of the frightened Doctor Mi, they felt something was wrong.
He said yes and hurriedly left.
Everyone understood what was going on and went their separate ways.
It seems that Doctor Mi also knows how Concubine Yi got pregnant.
After everyone left, Emei accompanied the queen to visit the second princess and played with the child for a while.
Then he went outside to sit and enjoy the cool air.
"Your Highness, I have asked around. Although Imperial Physician Mi is now taking care of Concubine Yi, other imperial physicians also saw her when she first said she was pregnant. They also read her pulse, although Imperial Physician Mi concealed something. But the medicines he prescribed were all for strengthening the body and nourishing the fetus. Other imperial physicians said that this pregnancy might be difficult."
"How dangerous is it?" asked the Queen.
"It is said that... it is very difficult for mother and child to be safe. Either the child dies before being born. Or... the adult cannot bear the child after it is born." Emei said.
"Doing things by force is against heaven." The queen shook her head: "If you don't have that blessing, don't force yourself to do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, let's just watch the show. After Doctor Mi was exposed today, I'm afraid everyone in the harem knows clearly about Concubine Yi's physical condition." Emei said.
The Queen said nothing.
At that time, Concubine Yi relied on her favor to disgust her a lot.
After entering the palace, things got worse.
Yes, Concubine Yi didn’t actually do anything, but isn’t it disgusting that she does?
Later, he joined Concubine Feng and competed with the Queen.
The Queen does not bear grudges, and she will usually take revenge if she has any.
For example, today, she revealed the matter of Concubine Yi to the concubines in the harem.
Concubine Yi is so busy that she may not be able to defend herself.
It depends on whether she has a perfect fate. If not, then it depends on which one of them, mother or son, has a better fate.
Emei knew clearly what her master was thinking, so she smiled and said nothing.
The people in this palace can have everything except kindness.
Especially the master.
You are obviously a noble princess, but after coming here, it seems like you are inferior to others in every way?
Haha, if that’s the case, don’t ask the queen to show mercy.
As for Concubine Yi, the Queen will not take any action, but she will not care whether she lives or dies.
