"Feng Xing, you should go and take a look too."
The Empress trusts the medical skills of Physician Su and her colleagues, but Ye Wantang doesn't acknowledge it. In that case, she'll have several more doctors diagnose her, and Ye Wantang will be the one who loses face.
As the Empress said, Feng Xing's diagnosis was the same as that of the previous imperial physician.
As the head of the Imperial Medical Academy, it's impossible that he would misdiagnose such a simple pulse as a pregnancy pulse.
No one had any further doubts.
Feng Xing frowned slightly.
Ye Wantang's pulse was strange; it didn't seem like she was pregnant, but rather like she was poisoned. However, this was just his suspicion.
As a confidant of the Emperor and Empress, he knew that the Emperor and Empress were dissatisfied with Ye Wantang and even suspected that the poison was administered by the Empress.
In addition, Ye Wantang's previous act of secretly inoculating people with smallpox disgusted him, so he did not tell the truth.
This also proves the saying, "Those who stray from the right path find few supporters."
Ye Wantang, unaware of Feng Xing's thoughts, collapsed to the ground, "How could this be? How could I be pregnant? It's impossible..."
She murmured that she could hardly accept it.
The Empress demanded, "Wantang, what else do you have to say? Who is the father of your child?"
Ye Wantang was torn between her conscience and her will.
Marrying into the Ning Prince's mansion is impossible; she might even be punished.
If she were to reveal the identity of the Prince of Liang, she would also suffer the same fate. But she was afraid and unwilling to bear the consequences alone.
King Liang, standing behind the crowd, broke out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't let Ye Wantang reveal his identity, so he wrinkled his nose and suddenly sneezed several times.
"I apologize, I fell into the water and I'm afraid I've caught a chill. Chief Physician Feng, please take a look at me. If I die, the world will lose a dashing and romantic figure."
He continued to say nonsensical things.
But Ye Wantang understood what he meant.
With the King of Liang in trouble, she had no chance of ever getting ahead.
Having made up her mind, she burst into tears, "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was terrified."
Ever since Shegu and Wubi left, the General's Mansion has been easily defended. One night, a thief broke into my tent, and I didn't know who he was.
I have no elders above me and no one to rely on. I have thought of taking my own life countless times, but I am afraid that my mother will blame me for not being strong enough and for not valuing my life.
Actually, the reason I went into the water that day was not to cool off, but because I felt dirty and wanted to wash myself clean to commit suicide.
But by sheer coincidence, Prince Ning appeared, and I, for a moment, was bewitched and decided to attach myself to him.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean it. I just longed for a home, for someone to rely on."
"You mean, you were defiled, and you don't know who the other person is, so you're trying to pin it on me?"
Prince Ning was even angrier; he felt that Ye Wantang was talking nonsense.
But he had no evidence.
Ye Wantang shook her head desperately, "Your Highness, I didn't mean it. It's true that you saw me. My mistake was my broken body. I shouldn't have had any more thoughts about you. I was wrong..."
She put herself in the position of the bullied and cried miserably.
Now that the world knows she has lost her innocence, it's better to be defiled than to have an affair with another man. She ended up in this state because her mother sacrificed herself for Dayuan, and no one protected her, an orphan.
People will sympathize with her.
To make it realistic, she even tried to jump into the pool, seemingly suicidal.
The Empress's brow twitched slightly. "I will send people to investigate the matter of the thief breaking into the mansion."
You are no longer innocent, yet you concealed this fact and tricked the emperor into a marriage, which is tantamount to deceiving the emperor.
Wan Tang, your mother Yu Dayuan indeed has extraordinary achievements, but you have made many serious mistakes, and even the greatest achievements will be exhausted by them.
"I will spare your life one last time, but your marriage to Prince Ning is off. Until the matter is clarified, you will be confined to the Cold Palace and not allowed to leave. Take care of yourself from now on."
It was unprecedented for a subject to be imprisoned in the Cold Palace, but since Ye Wantang said that the General's Mansion was not safe, the Empress's actions did not seem inappropriate to everyone.
The claim that the General's Mansion was unsafe was just a lie by Ye Wantang; she didn't want to go to the Cold Palace.
Once she was sent to the cold palace, she would lose all her freedom and might even die silently, wailing and begging for mercy.
But the Empress looked very disappointed in her and waved her hand.
As a result, Ye Wantang had barely arrived at the imperial estate and hadn't even stayed a night when she was sent back to the capital overnight and banished to the cold palace.
Xie Jinyao was completely unaware of this, and she waited anxiously.
Shuanzi had once saved a steward from the imperial estate, and she asked him to deliver a message to Ye Wantang on behalf of the steward.
The letter subtly mentioned Ye Wantang's background, and Ye Wantang would definitely come looking for her after seeing the letter.
As long as Ye Wantang appears, she can use Ye Wantang and her prophet to deal with Ye Zhen and Xie Tingzhou.
Unbeknownst to her, Ye Zhen had been keeping a close eye on Ye Wantang, while Xie Tingzhou was on high alert regarding the entire imperial estate and its surroundings. Once the letter entered the estate, it fell into the hands of Xie Tingzhou and Ye Zhen…
