Chapter 199 The Truth Comes Out
Wansui hugged Chen Fu and strode into the Qianqing Palace.
His footsteps were so hurried that he didn't even care about the two people behind him.
"Doctor, go call the doctor."
Zhou Shuyun stood there and watched the Emperor carry Shen Fu away. Only after the Emperor's back disappeared from her sight did she turn around and look behind her.
Concubine Wang fell to the ground, already frightened silly. From the moment His Majesty rushed out from the corner at some point, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
The look in His Majesty's eyes just now was so frightening that Concubine Wang didn't even feel surprised to see His Majesty. Only deep fear remained in her heart.
"You've gotten into big trouble today." Zhou Shuyun was soaked by the rain and couldn't help shivering all over.
But looking at Lady Wang like this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Why did you bother to provoke her?"
How favorably does His Majesty favor Shen Fu? If Zhou Shuyun didn't know before, she saw it clearly in the Qianqing Palace just now.
It is obvious that His Majesty cares very much about Shen Fu, and Concubine Wang must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Her status is so much lower than Shen Fu, but she still has the courage to provoke Shen Fu.
Don't you think about it, can the favor His Majesty once showed her be compared to even a finger he gave to Shen Fu?
But this Concubine Wang seemed to have gone mad, and has been immersed in the glory of the past, so much so that she could not see right from wrong in the present.
"It's not me." Lady Wang was obviously frightened and her body was trembling slightly. When she came to her senses, she immediately grabbed Zhou Shuyun's hand and shouted:
"It's not me, it's really not me." She was just frightened by the Emperor, and now she reacted immediately after she came to her senses.
She clearly didn't reach out to push Shen Fu just now, and she didn't even dare to use any strength.
But Chen Fu fell down, and even after she fell down, there was still more to come, as His Majesty happened to appear.
How could this be such a coincidence?
Lady Wang's mind was buzzing, and she couldn't help but shout, "She must have been pretending just now. It wasn't me. It really wasn't me."
"I didn't even touch her, and she just collapsed on her own!"
Lady Wang screamed heartbreakingly, and Zhou Shuyun's brows twisted rapidly.
Although she didn't see it very clearly just now, but based on her understanding of Lady Wang. Lady Wang is a person with a bad temper but a small courage.
It was already a courageous act for her to say some sour words to Chen Fu on a normal day, but now she was asked to take action against Chen Fu.
I'm afraid Lady Wang doesn't have that much courage.
"I didn't do it. It's none of my business." Lady Wang shook her head, feeling very anxious.
"Chen Fu must be trying to frame me. I won't take the blame." Concubine Wang gritted her teeth and hurried away after saying this.
Seeing her like this, Zhou Shuyun wanted to reach out to stop her. Just as she was about to say something else, she heard footsteps and Lin An walked forward, bending over: "My two young ladies, please wait..."
Lin An's attitude was pretty good. He bent his body slightly with a slight smile on his face: "Concubine Shen is not feeling well. I have called the imperial physician."
"Both young ladies are involved. If Young Lady Chen Fu gets hurt, then His Majesty..."
"Follow me and bear witness."
Zhou Shuyun and Lady Wang looked at each other and their faces changed.
Now that His Majesty has called Lin An over, this matter cannot be resolved so easily.
"So what if it's bumped into something?" Lady Wang was obviously still being stubborn.
"She's not some golden nugget or treasure. Even if she got bumped, so what? Can she be damaged?"
Lady Wang was muttering to herself, obviously still trying to be stubborn.
Zhou Shuyun was already very annoyed with her, and when she saw her still muttering bad things about Chen Fu in front of Lin An, she wanted to go up to her and cover her mouth.
Lin An's ears are the Emperor's ears. Saying bad things about Chen Fu in front of Lin An is equivalent to speaking to the Emperor.
This Concubine Wang is really looking for death. She dares to say such words in front of Lin An.
Zhou Shuyun took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and deliberately stayed away from Concubine Wang.
Obviously afraid of being implicated.
There was no conversation along the way. Lin An brought the two to the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity and then stopped.
The rain gradually got heavier, and the sound of raindrops hit the glazed tiles and fell into the bluestone slabs along the rain curtain.
Zhou Shuyun had just been pulled by Lady Wang to stand outside for a long time, and her clothes were already wet.
Now the main gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity faces the wind vent. After standing there for a while, I felt the chill entering my body, especially my knees, which were slightly painful.
"Young Master." The maid beside her saw that something was wrong with her and reached out her hand to support her.
Zhou Shuyun shook her head and made an excuse to avoid him. Now this is not somewhere nearby, this is at the gate of His Majesty’s Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Every move you make will lead to gossip.
Zhou Shuyun straightened her waist and stood straight with her head held high. But Lady Wang beside her was already shivering from the cold.
It was raining heavily and there were many winds, blowing directly at the two of them. Concubine Wang was shivering from the cold and her face had already turned pale.
The two men were standing at the door, shivering with cold, while the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace were busy running around.
Zhou Shuyun felt so cold that her spine was trembling, but she didn't even bend down a bit.
Just waiting for Lin An to come out, she seemed to have found an opportunity and immediately went up to him: "Eunuch Lin, how is Concubine Shen?"
Lin An stood at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, looked at both of them, and then fell on Zhou Shuyun with a look of respect.
"The imperial physician is still inside. I don't know what's going on. Miss Zhou, please be at ease for now and wait a little longer."
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhou Shuyun felt relieved after hearing this.
To see what the situation is, we have to wait until the imperial physician comes out.
There was a commotion outside, and Shen Fu inside was also feeling uneasy.
"Imperial Physician, what is the condition of Concubine Shen?" The imperial physician's hand had been on Shen Fu's wrist for a long time, but there was no movement for a long time.
Although Shen Fu looked calm on the outside, she was actually quite frightened in her heart.
She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.
Although her purpose was to let Concubine Wang take the blame. But in the end, no preparation was made in advance, and the preparation was not sufficient.
Suppose that the Emperor was still watching from a distance, and it was OK for Chen Fu to pretend to faint to attract his attention, but if she wanted to fake a miscarriage and put the blame on Concubine Wang, she really couldn't do it.
This is obviously a risky thing to do. If you are not absolutely sure, it is better not to try it lightly.
Chen Fu now hopes that the imperial physician in front of her can take the initiative to find out something.
It would be best if the imperial physician could explain the whole story so that she could extricate herself from the situation safely.
"Imperial Physician, how is my pulse?" The imperial physician did not speak for a long time, even though His Majesty had just asked. The imperial physician was also indifferent.
Seeing the imperial physician's fingertips withdraw from the wrist, Shen Fu seized the opportunity and asked hurriedly.
"This..." The imperial physician hesitated. After putting down his hand that was taking the pulse, he raised his head to look at Chen Fu, then turned to look at His Majesty.
When Shen Fu saw him like this, her heart trembled several times.
She was so panicked that she bit her lips tightly.
"But what's wrong with the baby in my belly?"
Chen Fu thought that the imperial physician had figured something out. She placed her palm on her lower abdomen, bit her lip deliberately, and pretended to look innocent with tears in her eyes.
"If you have anything to say, please speak directly." Xiao Yu was worried to begin with, and when he saw Chen Fu like this, his expression immediately darkened.
"But is there really something wrong with the fetus in Concubine Shen's belly?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." The imperial physician knelt down hurriedly, knowing that it was his hesitation just now that made Your Majesty suspicious.
The imperial physician did not dare to delay any longer and said hurriedly: "The fetus in Concubine Shen's belly is fine. I...I really can't see anything."
"Ah?" Chen Fu closed her eyes and waited for the emperor's anger, but she didn't expect the imperial physician to say that.
The expression on her face was not concealed for a moment, and Shen Fu said: "You didn't make a mistake?"
The surprise on Shen Fu's face was too obvious. The imperial physician knelt on the ground in a daze for a long while, then immediately shook his head.
"I...I...I did check your pulse just now. The young lady must have been frightened just now." The imperial physician hesitated, but still said:
"Then I will prescribe a tranquilizing soup for you, and you will be fine after drinking a few doses. As for the fetus in your belly, I think it is not a big deal."
The women in the harem all liked to use their bellies to win favor, and the imperial doctors were apparently used to it.
The recipe for Anshen Decoction is just a pretense to give each other some respect.
After the imperial physician finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, rolled up his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
But the Emperor standing aside was obviously relieved.
"It's all right, it's all right."
His Majesty's eyes fell on Shen Fu, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and pat Shen Fu on the back:
"You don't know how worried I was when I saw you fall backwards just now. I was afraid that something might happen to you. Then I..."
His Majesty raised his hand to stop Chen Fu, and held her in his arms. His slightly rising and falling chest clearly showed that he was relieved.
Chen Fu was held in His Majesty's arms, so she naturally noticed the ups and downs of His Majesty's chest.
Rolling on the palm of her back, Shen Fu huddled in His Majesty's chest, her eyes were dazed.
This imperial physician actually said that there was nothing wrong with her stomach?
She hasn't even had any soup in the past few days. Logically, even if Shen Qingru's medicine could detect pregnancy, the imperial physician would definitely be able to find out something about the fetus in her belly after a careful examination.
How come the imperial physician couldn't tell that there was something wrong with her pulse?
Is this imperial physician incompetent, or...
Shen Fu raised her hand to her lower abdomen and turned her body out of the arms of His Majesty.
She looked at His Majesty's obviously relieved expression, but she placed her hand on her lower abdomen, bit her lip and said deliberately:
"No, this imperial physician is useless." The imperial physician knelt on the ground, his face turning green with fear.
Chen Fu twisted her body but deliberately said: "I just feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Your Majesty, please send another imperial physician..."
Xiao Yu just breathed a sigh of relief, and was already relieved to see that Chen Fu was fine.
Seeing Shen Fu like this, he was about to speak. But looking at Chen Fu's shy body and evasive eyes.
Swallowing the words in his throat, His Majesty said lovingly, "Okay."
"Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite a few more... No, invite all the doctors on duty."
Lin An bent down and went down immediately.
His Majesty guessed that Shen Fu did it on purpose, and after he finished speaking, he held Shen Fu's hand and said, "Are you satisfied with what I have done?"
Shen Fu knew that the Emperor must have misunderstood and thought that she was faking illness to win his favor.
But at this moment, Shen Fu didn't know what to explain, so she could only pretend to be obedient and nodded.
But she still said unforgivingly: "I just feel unwell..."
The imperial physician came very quickly. His Majesty asked all the imperial physicians on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau to be invited over, and Lin An did so.
In addition to the imperial physician on duty, even the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau was invited.
When Shen Fu saw Wang Yuanpan, she felt relieved.
At that time, it was Wang Yuanpan who felt Shen Qingru's pulse. Others might have been deceived, but Wang Yuanpan would never be.
But this time Chen Fu was pregnant, and I heard that Wang Yuanpan had left the palace to see the Queen Mother, so her pulse had always been taken by Xu Shen from the Qianjin Department.
This was also the key to why Shen Fu fell into the trap before.
If Wang Yuanpan had been in the palace from the beginning, how could she have been fooled?
Chen Fu stretched out her hand and watched Wang Yuanpan's fingertips land on her wrist.
"My young lady, have you been worried and anxious these days?" asked the judge Wang Yuanpan.
Shen Fu came back to her senses and nodded immediately: "Yes, there are some."
"What are you worried about?" Xiao Yu asked from the side.
Is he not good enough to Shen Fu?
Is there anyone in the harem who is so blind that he dares to make Chen Fu angry?
Chen Fu ignored His Majesty's words. There were too many things going on in the palace, and she always had to be on guard against this and that.
In addition, the presence of the fetus in Shen Fu's belly really frightened her. After she knew that she had fallen into a trap, she kept thinking about it over and over again.
I am a little worried.
"It's normal to be sentimental when you're pregnant." Judge Wang tried to smooth things over: "But worrying too much will hurt your body. You should rest more and worry less in the future."
"This way, my lady will feel at ease and relieve her depression."
"Thank you, doctor." Chen Fu looked at Wang Yuanpan and placed her palm on her lower abdomen: "Besides this, do I have any other problems with my body?"
"I almost fell down just now. The fetus in my belly..."
"My lady, you have some emotional fluctuations, and you are also depressed. Drinking some medicine will make you better. The rest is nothing."
Wang Yuanpan saw Shen Fu's palm fall on her lower abdomen, and quickly added: "Of course, the fetus in the belly is nothing..."
Shen Fu stopped stroking her belly and swallowed the words that she had been thinking about for a long time in her throat bit by bit.
She looked up in disbelief: "You said, there's nothing wrong with the baby in my belly?"
The imperial physician just said the same thing, and now it’s also involved with Wang Yuanpan?
Shen Furuo said what she had just said with some hesitation, but now she was really beginning to be confused.
"What does this mean, Judge Wang, is that the baby in my belly is fine? I am pregnant fine?"
Shen Fu couldn't help but let out the words in her throat.
His Majesty was standing by, his brows furrowed rapidly, his face unhappy: “Chen Fu, what do you mean by this?”
From the beginning, Chen Fu has been complaining that her lower abdomen hurts and she feels uncomfortable. Now the imperial physician has checked it many times. But she still didn't believe it.
"Do you have to think about your unborn baby getting into trouble to be happy?"
His Majesty's cold words immediately brought Shen Fu back to her senses.
Only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing, and she promptly explained: "No, it's just that I am a concubine..."
Shen Fu was now very flustered and her mind was at a loss.
Her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and she wanted to put her palm down but didn't dare to.
She tried to speak half-truthfully: "It's just that my belly never grows. Now... it's been three months and it's still flat..."
Shen Fu thought of Shen Qingru and couldn't help but remind her: "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that my elder sister will think that this pregnancy is like a beautiful dream, but it's fake..."
"My lady, don't worry." Before Shen Fu finished speaking, Wang Yuanpan spoke:
"I guarantee that there will be no problem with your pregnancy."
As if he could see the uneasiness in Chen Fu's heart, Wang Yuanpan said: "After this false pregnancy incident, we servants have been on guard. The Imperial Hospital has also discussed this matter many times, and it is certain that there will be no mistakes like before."
"My lady has been pregnant for three months. It is definitely not caused by drugs like Shen Ronghua before. As long as you put your heart back in your stomach, the fetus in your belly will be safe. After another seven months, it will surely mature and successfully give birth to a little prince."
