Chapter 148: Rumors
The imperial physician's steps forward trembled, he turned his head and looked at Shen Qingru strangely, then he bowed his body slightly and walked forward with weak steps.
As soon as the person left, the room became quiet instantly.
Shen Qingru covered her lips and fell on the bed, coughing violently. Footsteps sounded behind her and a palace maid walked in: "My lady."
"Give me the medicine." Shen Qingru raised his head immediately after hearing the noise.
The maid was obviously frightened, and she curled up and stood there: "My lady, you can't take this medicine anymore."
The young lady had taken a pill of this medicine before, and since that day, her lower abdomen began to swell for no apparent reason.
The symptoms and conditions are no different from pregnancy.
He could not eat or drink anything every day, vomited constantly, and even had abdominal pain every day and night.
This inhuman torture has to be endured every day and night, but in return, the pulse condition is no different from that of pregnancy. No matter who from the Imperial Hospital takes the pulse, the contents of the abdomen are a sign of pregnancy.
Shen Qingru also saved her life because of this, and relying on her pregnancy, Shen Qingru was able to breathe.
But Wanwan never expected that she was just a little frightened, but the food in her stomach was about to disappear.
Shen Qingru sat on the bed and felt the contents of her stomach pouring out little by little along with the blood.
This was clearly what she had always dreamed of before, but now Shen Qingru felt a wave of panic in her heart.
Without this 'child', she would no longer have any reason to exist.
In the harem, having an heir is like having a life-saving talisman. His Majesty has not yet held her accountable for all the things she had done before.
If she lost this life-saving talisman, what would be waiting for her?
Shen Qingru raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, her face pale. She didn't even dare to think about it.
"Give me the medicine quickly!" The footsteps outside the house gradually approached. Shen Qingru's face turned pale and he started to shout angrily!
The palace maid tremblingly took out a pill from her bosom, but her hands could not stop shaking.
"My... my lady." The maid's throat trembled, "You can only take one pill of this medicine. If you take another one, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."
Such unreasonable things are naturally extremely harmful to the body.
Shen Qingru had eaten one before and was in excruciating pain. If we eat this pill now, no one can predict what will happen.
"Give it to me!" The footsteps were about to come in, and Shen Qingru had no time to think about it.
She immediately reached out and snatched the pill from the palace maid's hand as if she had gone crazy.
And swallowed it immediately at lightning speed.
As soon as the pill entered his throat, the curtain in front of him was opened.
“Chen Ronghua, you’re finally awake.”
The curtain was lifted, and the first person to come in was Concubine Rong. Shen Qingru was fine, and Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this incident happened to Shen Qingru before she left her palace. If anything happens to her, she will probably not be able to escape the blame.
When Concubine Rong thought of this, she smiled sincerely at Shen Qingru: "Fortunately, you are fine. The imperial physician saved you. Otherwise, I would be worried."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm fine." Shen Qingru covered her lips and coughed softly.
There was not a single word mentioned about the fact that she had stood at the door of Concubine Rong's Palace for so long.
No matter how powerful Concubine Rong was, she was still a concubine, and not someone she could easily provoke at this moment.
Besides... Shen Qingru didn't want to confront Concubine Rong.
She raised her head, looked forward with her eyes raised.
Among the crowd, she immediately spotted the person standing behind His Majesty.
Many concubines from various palaces came, but Chen Fu was still noticed at first sight standing among the crowd.
She is delicate and charming, with a seductive posture, and her face is so pretty that people can't look away.
The concubines from all the palaces were beside His Majesty, except Chen Fu, who was next to His Majesty.
This may seem like just a simple stance, but anyone who pays close attention knows it. His Majesty did not like others following him around, but Chen Fu stood so close to him.
It was clearly agreed by His Majesty. This is grace and also glory.
Shen Qingru has always known that Shen Fu is favored. Ever since she moved out of her palace, Shen Fu has caught the Emperor's eye.
The favor lasted forever, and even if she didn't go out, she could often hear news about Shen Fu's favor.
But only after really meeting Shen Fu did Shen Qingru begin to understand.
How much she regretted this decision. She regretted letting Shen Fu replace herself, and even more regretted personally sending her to the bed.
Now that she saw Shen Fu's face again, Shen Qingru realized that she still had too little hatred for her.
She was filled with regret every night. I wish I could dig out her heart, drink her blood, and let her die miserably in excruciating pain!
The hatred in Shen Qingru's eyes was too strong, even if Shen Fu didn't want to look directly at it, she could still feel it clearly.
She frowned slightly and stepped back deliberately.
In front of him, His Majesty noticed it. His brows furrowed, and his fierce eyes looked towards the bed again.
“Shen Ronghua!”
When Shen Qingru heard the Emperor calling her, her eyes trembled slightly. Her eyes looked gently towards His Majesty.
This was the first time she had seen His Majesty in such a long time.
Ever since she became pregnant, the Emperor has never come to see her again.
When Shen Qingru thought about this, she couldn't help feeling bitter. Even though the favor was not great before, at least I could see the Emperor once a month.
But ever since she asked Chen Fu to replace herself and serve His Majesty. After that, His Majesty never looked at her again.
Now that she saw His Majesty again, Shen Qingru felt like she had seen hope. His eyes trembled as he called out softly, "Long live the Lord."
Shen Qingru opened her eyes and looked towards His Majesty eagerly.
But the look Xiao Yu gave her was clearly extremely cold: "Imperial Physician."
He didn't even look at the look Shen Qingru gave him, and said directly to the imperial physician, "Go check Shen Ronghua's pulse."
Upon hearing this, the imperial physician immediately bent down and stepped forward. He raised his hand and placed it on Shen Qingru's wrist, his eyes gradually widened, filled with shock.
"this……"
The imperial physician turned his head and looked at Shen Qingru with disbelief. Shen Qingru withdrew her arm, her expression even more indifferent:
"I've already said it, both I and the fetus in my belly are fine." She was half-sitting on the bed, surrounded by a thick smell of blood.
There were still traces of blood on the bedding. It was obvious that he had lost so much blood that his face should have been pale.
But Shen Qingru just sat there, and except for her slightly pale lips, she looked no different from an ordinary person.
"Your servant..." Several imperial doctors came forward one after another, and after taking the patient's pulse, they all remained silent.
An ordinary woman would not be able to escape death after losing so much blood, but this Shen Ronghua was different.
Not only is her body in good condition, but even the fetus in her belly is fine.
This is truly a miracle.
After several imperial doctors looked back and forth for a few times, they knelt down hurriedly and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Chen Ronghua is a lucky person, and the fetus in her belly is intact."
As the imperial doctors finished their words, the concubines around them looked in different expressions. Even though I had just heard about it, but after taking the pulse again, it was confirmed that this matter was a done deal.
Shen Qingru's baby was really lucky this time, as he was safe and sound despite all the trouble.
The concubines' expressions changed in different ways, but no matter what they were thinking in their hearts, they still said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The concubines around all had smiles on their faces, whether they were sincere or not.
Only His Majesty did not show any smile at all. His eyes looked deeply at the bed for a long time, as if he wanted to see Shen Qingru deep into her heart.
Shen Qingru was obviously feeling guilty and her eyes were evasive.
"Chen Ronghua." At this time, Concubine Rong suddenly asked.
"What on earth happened to you just now?"
Concubine Rong had a smile on her face, and she looked generous and dignified. She looked into Shen Qingru's eyes and said gently:
"The servants present did not see the whole story. They just said that they saw you struggling with Lady Ying, and that's why you fell."
Although Lady Ying is stupid and brainless, if she is charged with murdering the Dragonborn, I am afraid that even if the two families join forces to protect her, they may not be able to save her life.
Thinking of this, Concubine Rong felt anxious.
No matter how stupid Ying Meiren is, she has a good father. Her husband's brother is capable and has made great achievements in war, so even if Ying Meiren is stupid, she has to come out and cover for her.
Even if Concubine Rong didn't want to care about Lady Ying, she had to stand up at this time:
"You should explain yourself, but Ying Mei was blind and bumped into you, which made you fall down in anger."
There was still blood on the corner of Shen Qingru's mouth. Hearing this, she looked up at Concubine Rong.
It was clear from Concubine Rong's words that she wanted to save Lady Ying's life.
Although Ying Meiren was not the one who did what happened today, she is actually related to it.
"It was when I was returning home that I ran into Lady Ying by chance." Shen Qingru pondered for a while before speaking cautiously.
She stood at the gate of Concubine Rong's palace for so long that her legs and feet were sore and she was about to go back, but on the way she ran into Concubine Ying who was coming towards her.
When Shen Qingru thought of the scene just now, she still felt a little cold in her heart.
She had been standing for such a long time and was already exhausted. When she met the beautiful Ying on the road, she was too lazy to pay attention to her.
I just wanted to leave without even looking.
But obviously, Lady Ying mistook her for Chen Fu. After seeing her, she rushed forward to block her way and scolded her.
Shen Qingru didn't want to get entangled with her, so she revealed her identity and wanted to leave.
But the beautiful Ying seemed to be crazy.
He grabbed her hand and stopped her from leaving: "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Majesty promoted you to be a concubine."
And that was when she knew. The person promoted by His Majesty was not himself, but Shen Fu.
God knows, before she left, she thought for a moment whether the one promoted by His Majesty was her.
But as Lady Ying finished her words, she realized that all this was just a dream after all.
She waited and hoped for many years, but she never expected it. As soon as Shen Fu entered the palace, she was able to be on equal terms with her, and not long after that, she was promoted to Jieyushi.
She had waited five years for the position of Ronghua after entering the palace, but now her dream was shattered in one day and disappeared into thin air.
How could she not hate him?
"It's not Lady Ying." It wasn't Lady Ying's fault in the first place. Besides, from what Lady Ying said, it was clear that she had a huge hatred towards Shen Fu.
Shen Qingru reached out her hand and gently brushed away the blood at the corner of her mouth: "I fell accidentally, it's none of other people's business."
Shen Qingru spoke softly, and she looked as if the person who was on the verge of life and death was not her.
Concubine Rong was completely relieved.
Xiao Yu obviously didn't want to stay here any longer, his brows were furrowed so tightly that he almost pinched a fly to death. He raised his hand to his brows and twisted them deeply: "Take good care of Shen Ronghua's fetus. If there is any loss, you can ask for it."
The imperial doctors knelt on the ground and felt their spines tighten.
He pressed his forehead to the ground and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I obey your command."
After His Majesty gave these instructions, he left.
Only when Concubine Rong looked at His Majesty's back did she feel completely relieved.
Today's scene was full of dangers. If Shen Qingru had not told the truth about her being punished by standing in the corner, I'm afraid today's scene would not have ended so easily.
Not until His Majesty's back had completely left did Concubine Rong heave a sigh of relief. However, as soon as she relaxed, her body couldn't help but weaken.
"My queen, be careful..." The nanny had been watching from Kobe. When she saw her body swaying slightly, she immediately reached out and held her up.
Concubine Rong breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and secretly glanced at the nanny, then turned her head: “The dragon descendant in Shen Ronghua’s belly cannot be sloppy at all.”
"Doctor Qian and Doctor Zhou will take care of him every day, and the other doctors will take turns. There must not be any mistakes in the future."
Concubine Rong is the concubine in the harem. When she speaks, there is no difference between her and the queen.
The imperial doctors knelt on the ground and saluted hastily: "I know."
“The servants who serve must also pay more attention. Shen Ronghua is pregnant, so they must be more careful in the future.” Concubine Rong gave a few more instructions in detail.
Then he said: "The concubines must restrain themselves, in order to help His Majesty to have more children, from now on, all of us concubines in the harem will be able to serve His Majesty better."
As soon as Imperial Concubine Rong spoke, the rest of the people hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes, I will follow the Imperial Concubine's instructions."
Chen Fu followed the crowd and bowed to pay respect to the Imperial Concubine.
Concubine Rong gave a few final instructions and ordered another team of guards to guard the place strictly before leaving.
"Tang..." Before leaving, Ying Meiren was still kneeling on the ground, her weak body swaying.
When she saw Concubine Rong, her eyes lit up and she struggled to get up from the ground.
"Your Highness...Your Highness." Ying Meiren was afraid that Noble Concubine Rong would leave, so she knelt behind her, covered her face, and shouted in a shaky voice.
Blood was flowing straight down from under her palms, and Ying Meiren didn't even know what she looked like at this moment.
She knelt on the ground and couldn't even stand up. She could only crawl forward on her knees and grab the hem of Concubine Rong's skirt: "Concubine Rong..."
"Your Majesty, please save me." She was in such a state now that she was afraid that her glory and beauty would be ruined. If the Imperial Concubine did not save her, she was afraid that she would have no way to survive.
Lady Ying grabbed the hem of Concubine Rong's skirt with such force that it seemed as if she was grasping at the last straw.
Concubine Rong turned her back to the crowd, closed her eyes, and sighed deeply.
After opening his eyes, he said calmly: "Bring the beautiful Ying with you!"
