Chapter 65 The Queen Takes the Blame
After paying her respects to Xuanyuan Ling, the Queen glanced at Concubine Yu's distraught look.
Then Xuanyuan Ling also glanced at the queen coldly, said nothing, and went straight to look at Chen Qing.
The Queen felt a chill run down her spine when Xuanyuan Ling looked at her. Although she didn't know what had happened, she felt that something serious must have happened, so she asked Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai naturally told her everything. After all, she was the Queen, but she must have understood it in her heart. Did the Queen come late on purpose? Otherwise, the Emperor would come to the Imperial Study earlier than the Queen came to Fengyi Palace? Don't say more. The Emperor probably understood it.
After hearing this, the queen felt that the emperor might have noticed it, but it was not a big deal at the moment.
It doesn't matter if you find an excuse for being late. What's more shocking is that Concubine Yu is so bold? She did such a thing. Did she really think that she was in charge of the harem? As the queen, she would not kill the concubines without a reason. Is Concubine Yu crazy? Regardless of whether Shen Qing fell out of favor, she killed the concubines like this. This person is still imprisoned by the emperor. Is it your turn to act on your own?
But judging from the emperor's attitude towards those slaves who were beaten to death, it doesn't seem like he would treat a concubine he hated.
Thinking about it this way, she also realized the strangeness of the confinement in Zhaohua Palace.
Over there, Shen Qing was carried to the side hall of Zhongyu Palace in a daze. The imperial physician immediately took his pulse and checked him, and then he was shocked.
"Your Majesty, we need to find an experienced nurse to check on Mr. Shen's injuries."
There was an experienced maid, after all, it was Zhong Yu Palace, and the person who had taken care of Concubine Yu when she had a miscarriage was still there, so the maid was called over.
When the nanny came, she trembled when she saw the unwashed blood outside Zhong Yu Palace.
Although she was Concubine Yu's person, she dared not neglect it at this moment, and immediately took off Shen Qing's clothes and checked them.
Shen Qing's body was covered with scars, with varying degrees of bruises on his waist, abdomen, and back. When the nanny checked his lower body, she was shocked.
There was blood on Shen Qing's underwear!
The nanny was so disappointed that she had to tell everyone about the discovery.
She only whispered it to the imperial physician.
When the imperial physician heard that his thoughts were indeed confirmed, he immediately felt heavy in his heart. Just now, he found that Mr. Shen was injured internally when he took his pulse. External injuries would be fine, but...
He was panicking, and when he went out to report to the emperor, he could only say something nice: "Mr. Shen's life is fine."
Xuanyuan Ling was still relieved, as long as his life was not in danger.
Now that Chen Qingren is fine, Xuanyuan Ling can think about other things. He also saw the wound on Concubine Yu's face.
Perhaps because she had beaten Concubine Lin before, it was not surprising that Xuanyuan Ling would resist since she was beaten like this by Concubine Yu for no reason.
If Shen Qing hadn't been so badly injured, she should have been punished simply for injuring Concubine Yu.
If not for Concubine Yu, then for the sake of the two children, and even more for the sake of Concubine Yu's family.
Just as he was thinking about it, the imperial physician on the other side hesitated to speak: "It's just...Mr. Shen has hurt her lower abdomen. I also found that there are traces of contraceptives in Ms. Shen's body. Taking contraceptives is harmful to women's bodies. Now her stomach is hurt. The nanny said that she has bleeding in her lower body. I'm afraid that she will have some difficulties in having children in the future..."
This last sentence was said with great trepidation and was extremely difficult.
After the Queen punished Concubine Yu, she naturally came to see Chen Qing. When a concubine made a mistake, she would naturally punish her. However, since the Emperor intervened in this matter, her punishment was not severe, just house arrest to copy scriptures and reflect quietly. Now this punishment is secondary, because the Queen heard these words when she arrived.
She was startled, but Xuanyuan Ling saw it clearly, and then her heart skipped a beat: "How could there be traces of taking contraceptives? I read the history books, and the emperor never gave Shen Liangren contraceptives when he slept with her!"
Xuanyuan Ling's face was dark, and his tone was bad because he had been holding back his anger for a day. He looked at the queen and said, "Yes, I have never given you any contraceptive medicine. How could there be traces of contraceptive medicine in Shen Liangren's body?"
The queen was shocked. The emperor had already suspected her when Concubine Yu had a miscarriage last time. From the tone he gave now, did he suspect that she was the one who did it?
But she really didn't know about this!
She hurriedly asked the doctor: "Did you take it just now?"
Could it be that Concubine Yu was so brazen as to force Shen Qing to take medicine?
"Reporting to the Queen, no, it has been accumulating in Shen Liangren's body for more than a few months."
Months!
The queen was really shocked, and then hurriedly said righteously: "Please allow me to investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty. Someone in the harem dared to do such a thing. Poor Shen Liangren will have difficulty having children in the future. This matter must be thoroughly investigated."
What she said is really true.
This reminded Xuanyuan Ling of the day when Concubine Yu had a miscarriage and the Queen came to investigate the incident. At that time, she also spoke righteously, saying that if anyone in the harem dared to kill the royal heir, she would not let it off easily.
Xuanyuan Ling glanced at the queen and said, "Then let's check it out."
The Queen's heart beat like a drum and she felt a chill down her spine when she saw this.
The queen said goodbye, and when she got outside, she pursed her lips, thinking of the emperor's attitude of caring about Shen Qing, and then she thought of the words of the imperial physician.
It turned out to be difficult to have offspring.
Originally, judging from the emperor's attitude, a woman whom the emperor is willing to protect, even if her position is low now, will eventually be promoted.
The queen originally thought that she would be wary of Shen Qing in the future, but it turned out that she had difficulty having children?
The queen decided that she would never touch Chen Qing again.
Judging from the emperor's attitude, he is really angry. A concubine who is favored but has no children is really not worth his attention.
But the emperor really didn't believe her. He was probably sure that she was the one who did it: "Jinzhi, investigate this matter thoroughly and give me and the emperor an explanation!"
Someone could actually do such a thing right under her nose, and she didn't notice it at all. No wonder Shen Qing hasn't had a child for so long. Was that person targeting Shen Qing, or did he know what she was planning and target her?
If the Emperor were to blame her for this, it might be that in the future it would not be Concubine Chun or Concubine Yu who would assist in managing the six palaces, and she would have to give up her power over the six palaces!
Xuanyuan Ling said to the imperial physician expressionlessly, "Heal her external injuries. As for the rest, take good care of her." He paused and said, "Are you serious? Is it difficult to have children?"
The imperial physician was about to wipe his sweat: "Mr. Shen is young after all, so take good care of him and wait until he is older, maybe..."
He didn't dare to say this until he died. Who knows what will happen in the future? Now she seems to be favored, but in two years, if she is not favored anymore and can't have children, it will have nothing to do with him anymore.
Xuanyuan Ling said expressionlessly, "Don't tell her for now."
The imperial physician was stunned.
If this woman in the harem cannot get pregnant, she will immediately fall out of favor. Now, it is still hidden. The emperor still cares about this good lady Shen.
He hurried inside to continue treating Shen Qing, giving him acupuncture and medicine as needed, without slacking off at all. But soon Shen Qing developed a fever, which was a common reaction after injury, and the imperial physician did not dare to be negligent and responded carefully.
Xuanyuan Ling left after giving the instructions.
After leaving Zhongyu Palace, he instructed Zhao Hai: "Ask the imperial physician when she can move. She is afraid that she will not be happy to stay in Zhongyu Palace after this incident. Also, call the two servants around her to serve her."
Zhao Hai agreed, and looking at the emperor's expression he sighed in his heart, it's such a pity that such a good person has such a hard time having children, considering he's so good-looking.
Chunhua and Fangyun were called over to serve. When they saw Chen Qing lying on the bed, they were frightened even though they were prepared.
Tears began to fall. Xiao Quanzi went to report the news, but it was too late. The two felt regretful and self-blaming, but now they were still in Zhongyu Palace. They could not say anything. They could only bury their heads in serving Shen Qing and pray that she would wake up soon.
