Chapter 611: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 32
The emperor looked at Zheng Yuejin with a sullen face. In the eyes of the emperor, her little trick was not worth mentioning at all and was seen through at a glance.
These are all low-class methods used by the women in the harem, which is really petty.
The emperor turned his gaze to Zheng Xingyao again and said sternly, "What's wrong with you?
Regardless of whether it was right or wrong for you to rashly lift the veil, do you know what you just said?
If you act impulsively like this, how can you set a good example for the people of the world and be a role model for the nation in the future?"
Zheng Xingyao knelt on her knees and bowed deeply. When she stood up, her eyes were filled with tears that had just been squeezed out, but her expression showed that she was trying hard not to let the tears fall. She looked stubborn and determined.
"I know I was wrong, and I ask for your punishment, Father. However, today's matter is of great importance, and it was not my intention to offend.
I beg your Majesty to summon the imperial physician to take my daughter-in-law's pulse.
What my second brother's wife just said is very likely to arouse people's speculation. If it is not clarified in time, it may lead to rumors.
The daughter-in-law only spoke out of anger.
The daughter-in-law also knew that she was about to become the Crown Princess and would shoulder the glory and responsibility of the royal family.
The royal reputation cannot be tarnished in the slightest.
There are many guests gathered in the wedding hall today. If these false words are spread to damage the reputation of the prince and the royal family, my daughter-in-law will never be able to atone for her sins even if she dies a thousand times.
If false statements were allowed to spread freely due to the daughter-in-law's weakness, it would be a real betrayal of the status bestowed by my father and an betrayal of the entire royal family.
Therefore, my daughter-in-law had to refute it fiercely. I hope your Majesty will understand."
No matter whether what Zheng Xingyao said makes sense or not, she just labeled her actions as being for the royal family.
Whoever says it isn't will not work.
Although she was not willing to marry the prince, she could not let Zheng Yuejin frame her like this.
Even if she didn't want to enter the Eastern Palace, it was because she didn't want to. She definitely didn't want to have her reputation ruined by others' schemes and be driven out in disgrace.
The emperor glanced at the prince, his heart filled with dissatisfaction.
A crown prince should act with courage and decisiveness, but in just a few words, he was led by the nose by two women, which is really becoming more and more disgraceful.
The prince kept his head down respectfully the entire time, saying nothing, just listening to the two women defending their actions in the hall.
The emperor sneered in his heart. Things had come to this point and they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to. The matter had to be investigated thoroughly.
The royal family has already lost face today, so this matter cannot end in such a whimper.
Don’t the two girls from the Zheng family want to gain fame for themselves, and don’t they both want to kill each other?
bring it on!
He wanted to see what new tricks these two girls from the Zheng family could come up with.
Anyway, he had already planned to depose the crown prince. The more things that were unfavorable to the crown prince accumulated now, the easier it would be to depose him in the future.
The emperor said with a sullen face, "Since the second daughter-in-law is worried about her sister and is afraid that she will get sick, and there is still some time before the auspicious hour ends, then we should ask a few imperial physicians to come and check the Crown Princess's pulse. This will also reassure the second daughter-in-law and prevent her from speaking carelessly in a hurry."
The emperor's words were really sarcastic and did not suit his status.
But the disgusting ones are first-rate.
Zheng Yuejin has been trying hard to distance herself from the Xuanping Marquisate, but the emperor's every word closely links her with the Xuanping Marquisate.
However, Zheng Yuejin didn't care about the impact of these words on her mood at this time. She was thinking that her plan was about to succeed. As long as she didn't call the imperial physician, she would win the game.
She stepped forward and said respectfully, "No need, Father. It's unlucky to invite an imperial physician on such a happy occasion.
The daughter-in-law brought with her the female doctor that her mother had given her when she was pregnant. She could just take a look at the second sister.
If nothing else, the wedding wouldn’t be delayed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present secretly complained in their hearts. Wasn't the wedding stopped because she came out to disrupt it? Now she says she is afraid of delaying the wedding. What was she thinking about?
The emperor glanced at Zheng Yuejin coldly, his expression growing even colder.
He had experienced the struggle for the throne and had been accustomed to the tricks of concubines in the harem competing for favor since childhood. He saw through Zheng Yuejin's little trick at a glance.
It is obvious that Zheng Yuejin has set up a trap here.
I didn't expect that this second daughter-in-law was so bold. Even though I, the emperor, was sitting here, she still dared to use these tricks.
But the emperor doesn't care about these things. He doesn't care who is plotted against by whom. He is not here to judge the case.
The two girls from the Zheng family just said so many inappropriate words. One of them must be deposed today, otherwise how will the people of the world view the royal family?
It depends on which of these two people has the better move.
The emperor waved his hand calmly. The senior eunuch beside him understood what he meant and secretly winked at the young eunuch behind him. Then the young eunuch ran out silently.
Zheng Yuejin lowered her head and did not notice this scene.
After a long while, Zheng Yuejin didn't hear the emperor's response. She couldn't help but secretly look up to see the emperor's reaction.
At this moment, the emperor spoke: "Since you are so kind, then ask your doctor to come and take a look."
Zheng Yuejin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that the emperor would see through her tricks.
Just as he was about to call the female doctor over, Zheng Xingyao spoke again.
“Father, your daughter-in-law will not bother your second brother’s wife’s doctor.
My second brother's wife just said that this female doctor was the one she hired when she was pregnant. I think she is very good at pregnancy and pediatrics.
My daughter-in-law's symptoms have nothing to do with these two. I'm afraid this female doctor isn't good at diagnosis and treatment."
Zheng Yuejin refused to give up and continued to insist, "How could that be? She is also a disciple of an orthodox doctor. It's just that most doctors are men, which makes it inconvenient for her to practice medicine. That's why she specializes in conditioning pregnant women and other matters.
Don't worry, sister. We are all family. I will never bring a quack doctor to harm you."
Zheng Xingyao snorted in her heart, thinking that Zheng Yuejin always harmed her own family.
She was about to retort again, but saw that the emperor was already impatient.
"It's just taking your pulse, not prescribing any medicine. Second son's wife, please call your female doctor over."
Hearing this, Zheng Yuejin was secretly happy, thinking that success was just around the corner.
The female doctor had received Zheng Yuejin's instructions long ago and respectfully stepped forward to take Zheng Xingyao's pulse.
At this time, Zheng Xingyao had already understood Zheng Yuejin's thoughts.
She might not have reacted at first, but when Zheng Yuejin said she brought a female doctor, how could she not understand the conspiracy behind it.
But she is not without a backup plan, so let's wait and see.
The nanny brought to her by the Marquis's wife just gave her a secret wink, indicating that she should cooperate with the female doctor.
When the female doctor stepped forward, Zheng Xingyao calmly stretched out her fair wrist, and the female doctor gently placed two fingers on it.
After taking Zheng Xingyao's pulse for a moment, the female doctor was startled at first and suddenly raised her head to look at Zheng Xingyao.
