Chapter 90 Awakening
Judge Zhang's words "a sign of pregnancy" and "less than a month" were like a thunderclap, exploding in the side hall!
Crown Prince Xiao Jingyan glanced sideways slightly, took a deep breath almost imperceptibly, and his eyes were filled with turbulent emotions, dark and unclear.
The queen's whole body swayed, and the joints of her fingers that were holding the chair turned white due to the force, and her face instantly turned as pale as paper!
The Queen Mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her well-maintained face was distorted with anger, and she slammed the armrest beside her!
The crisp sound of "Snap" frightened everyone.
"presumptuous!"
The Queen Mother shouted, her voice sharp and piercing, filled with uncontrollable anger.
“That’s outrageous!!”
"The royal family's dignity! The ancestral rules! They've all been ruined by your dirty deeds!"
The Queen Mother was furious! This wasn't just a scandal for the Shen family; it was a slap in the face of the royal family! It was a humiliating shame!
“Clatter—”
Inside the side hall, except for the emperor, the empress dowager, the queen, and the unconscious Chen Jiao, everyone immediately knelt on the ground as if by reflex!
Everyone knelt down in a crowd!
"Queen Mother, calm down!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices filled with panic.
Shan Zhuyu had already collapsed to the ground. When she heard the Queen Mother's angry roar, her face turned pale and her eyes were empty, as if her soul had been sucked out.
Total despair! Dan Zhuyu probably couldn't even cry at this moment, only endless despair remained.
The queen turned her head suddenly, her eyes that seemed to be spitting fire fixed on the back of Shen He who was still kneeling straight!
This little bitch!
What on earth is she going to do?!
How dare she?!
Having gotten things to this point, is the Shen family's reputation still there?!
Didn't she know that when the nest is overturned, all the eggs will remain intact?! What good would it do to her, Shen He, to destroy the Shen family?!
Amidst the dead silence, the emperor's cold voice rang out again, breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
His gaze did not linger on the queen's angry face, but turned to Zhang Yuanpan who was kneeling on the ground.
"President Zhang."
The emperor's voice showed no emotion, but was filled with unquestionable majesty.
“Second Miss Shen, why are you still unconscious?”
Judge Zhang kowtowed quickly and replied respectfully, his voice carrying a hint of caution.
"Your Majesty, we also felt strange just now."
"I originally thought that Miss Shen was just suddenly frightened and her mind was agitated. In addition... In addition, she was pregnant, and her blood and qi were fluctuating, so she was weak and fainted..."
He paused slightly, as if choosing his words.
"But after careful examination, I detected a faint scent in her wrist and hair..."
Judge Zhang raised his head and glanced at the emperor cautiously before continuing:
"Musky smell."
"Musk?!"
The queen screamed in shock, and her face became even uglier!
Shen He, who was kneeling on the ground, paused slightly, almost imperceptibly, when he heard the words.
She slowly raised her head, and her eyes, as calm as an ancient well without any ripples, happened to meet the emperor's meaningful gaze.
When their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for a moment.
After a moment, the emperor slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Yuanpan again, his voice still steady.
"When will she wake up?"
Judge Zhang immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen's pulse is weak but stable. However, the musk scent may affect the fetus and make her drowsy and difficult to wake up."
"If we want to wake her up quickly, we need to use acupuncture to stimulate the Ren Zhong, He Gu and other key acupoints."
He paused, seemed a little embarrassed, and added:
"To avoid suspicion of a man and a woman, we need the assistance of a female doctor to be safe."
When Dr. Liu, who had been kneeling in the corner and trembling like a sieve, heard this, a glimmer of hope suddenly flashed in her eyes!
This is her last chance!
If I could make amends...
Almost subconsciously, she wanted to move her knees forward.
"Your servant... Your servant can..."
Her voice trembled as she was about to introduce herself.
"You step back."
The emperor's voice, as cold as ice, suddenly rang out, interrupting her directly!
There was undisguised coldness and disgust in that voice!
Doctor Liu froze in place instantly, and the last trace of blood on her face faded away completely, as if she had been struck by lightning!
The emperor's gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the other side, on the blue-clothed figure who had been kneeling straight from beginning to end, with an indifferent expression, as if he was not involved.
"Your name is Chu Yue?"
The two cool and gentle words were clearly heard by everyone.
Chu Yue heard the voice and raised her eyes slightly, still calm.
"The minister is here."
The emperor looked at her with an unquestionable tone.
"Go and assist the imperial physician in acupuncture."
Chu Yue responded calmly.
"Your Majesty obeys."
She stood up and walked out from the kneeling crowd, her steps steady and without any panic.
It was as if the turbulent waves around her had nothing to do with her.
She remained calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai! This composure doesn't seem like that of an ordinary medicine-pounding doctor! The person the emperor has chosen is truly extraordinary!
She walked to the couch and knelt down at the spot indicated by Zhang Yuanpan.
Judge Zhang did not dare to delay and immediately gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Philtrum."
Chu Yue opened the small needle bag she carried with her and picked up a thin silver needle.
The movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.
Find the acupoint, move your fingertips slightly, and the silver needle will penetrate quickly and accurately!
The strength and depth are exactly right!
Judge Zhang's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but say "Hmm?" with a hint of surprise.
Li Yuanshi and Wang Yuyi beside them also moved closer, their eyes focused.
"Heguxue." Zhang Yuanpan continued.
Chu Yue followed his instructions and gave the acupuncture treatment again. Her movements were still smooth and precise, like flowing clouds and water.
Judge Zhang nodded repeatedly as he watched, with admiration in his eyes growing stronger and stronger.
Envoy Li couldn't help but lower his voice and whispered to the Imperial Physician Wang beside him.
"Old Wang, look at this girl's technique..."
Imperial Physician Wang narrowed his eyes, carefully observing every subtle movement of Chu Yue as she twisted the needle and pricked the acupoints, his face also filled with amazement.
"Hmm, so neat and clean, with precise force, and amazingly accurate acupuncture points! This isn't something you can expect from an ordinary female doctor!"
Li Yuanshi took a deep breath and lowered his voice with a hint of disbelief.
"It seems to me... it looks a bit like... the lost golden needle technique of the Chu family."
Imperial Physician Wang was shocked and looked suddenly at Envoy Li and then at Chu Yue.
"The Chu family's golden needles?! Hiss... No way? Where did she learn this from, a little medical girl pounding medicine?"
Just as the two big men of the Imperial Hospital were secretly shocked, Chen Jiao on the couch let out an almost inaudible moan.
“Hmm…”
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Slowly, he opened his eyes.
His eyes were confused at first, staring blankly at the curtain above his head.
Then, his vision slowly focused and he saw several faces gathered around the couch.
The majestic and stern emperor...
The Queen Mother is still furious...
The queen's face turned pale...
And... my mother, Shan Zhuyu, kneeling on the ground, her face ashen...
Where is this?!
what happened? !
Chen Jiao was so frightened that she suddenly sat up from the couch. Her movement was so big that she almost rolled down!
She climbed down from the couch in a hurry, not caring about her manners, and fell to her knees with a thud!
The voice was hoarse and full of fear from just waking up.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty the Queen Mother!"
She kowtowed in panic, and when she raised her face, tears were already welling up in her eyes. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Shan Zhuyu.
"Mom! What the hell is going on?"
