Chapter 613: Reborn Girl vs. Book-Traveling Girl 34
Of course Zheng Yuejin knew that there was no one else, but she just wanted to leave Zheng Xingyao speechless and unable to speak out her grievances, just like herself in her previous life.
But Zheng Xingyao's reaction disappointed Zheng Yuejin. Everything did not go as she expected.
Zheng Xingyao stood up with a smile on her face and looked at Zheng Yuejin.
"In other words, the reason why my eldest sister got involved with the Second Prince during the flower viewing banquet and gave up her engagement with the Crown Prince was because she felt that the Second Prince was better than the Crown Prince.
Otherwise, why would she be so afraid of not taking the contraceptive soup and get pregnant with the Second Prince's child before getting married, forcing her to marry before her brother, as the younger brother?
Everyone present was shocked again.
Although everyone knows this, no one will speak it out loud.
Do these two sisters from the Zheng family want to stop living? Do they no longer care about the lives of their entire family members? Now they are so outspoken.
Zheng Xingyao has changed her name from "Second Brother's Sister" back to "Big Sister".
Even if she could prove her innocence, she had already prepared herself for the royal family to cancel her marriage with the prince because of this incident.
Zheng Yuejin didn't expect Zheng Xingyao to be so disregarding of their respective faces and to say out in public what she had tried so hard to hide before.
She immediately defended herself, and the prince's face looked even uglier than if he had eaten shit.
The emperor sat at the top, his hands folded in front of him, watching the reactions of several people with interest, as if he was watching a carefully choreographed play.
At this moment, the young eunuch who had been sent to summon the imperial physician hurried back with several medical officers.
"Your Majesty, the doctors have arrived."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Yuejin's face suddenly changed and her heart suddenly became panicked.
How could that be?
Didn’t you not invite the imperial physician?
When did someone go out?
The Crown Prince had just said that he wanted to execute Zheng Xingyao, and was only waiting for His Majesty's approval, but now complications arose.
She suppressed her panic and forced a gentle smile: "Father, the matter has been concluded. There is no need to trouble the doctors anymore, daughter-in-law..."
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt her, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty.
"The future Crown Princess is a matter of great importance to the nation, and it is by no means a trivial matter. How can it be decided based on the opinions of one family?
What's more, even if she is not the Crown Princess, she is still my subject.
A girl's reputation is so important, how can we draw such a simple conclusion?"
The emperor's words immediately made all the women present feel respected. In addition to his majesty, their impression of the emperor also included his compassion for his people.
The emperor turned to the imperial physicians and instructed them, "Go and take Miss Zheng's pulse and write down the results on paper and present them to us."
The imperial doctors did not dare to delay and immediately walked to Zheng Xingyao one by one.
Zheng Yuejin clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes wandered between the imperial doctors.
No, it is impossible to be discovered - she found the recipe from a rare ancient book, it is very secretive and will never be easily discovered.
The prince stared coldly at Zheng Xingyao from the side, not noticing any change in Zheng Yuejin.
His tone was filled with hatred: "Emperor Father is kind-hearted, but he will let you die knowingly.
A bitch like you, how can you be worthy of being examined by the Royal Imperial Hospital? Enjoy this last time."
The emperor shook his head secretly. There was really nothing about this prince that satisfied him.
After a while, the imperial doctors finished taking the patient's pulse and wrote the diagnosis results on paper.
The eunuch wanted to present it directly to the emperor, but the emperor instructed him to read it in public.
When the results came out, three of the five imperial doctors diagnosed Zheng Xingyao as pregnant, and two concluded that it was a false pregnancy.
Although Zheng Yuejin was also shocked by the two false pregnancy diagnoses, she felt there was still room for improvement.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Father, since three imperial physicians have confirmed that my second sister is pregnant, plus the female physician beside my daughter-in-law, there are four of them. I think the two imperial physicians made a misdiagnosis and were negligent. Even one of them may have made a mistake."
She turned to Zheng Xingyao, her tone gentle but demanding, "Second sister, you'd better tell me. If you take the initiative to admit it, I'll plead for you, and maybe you can get a lighter sentence."
The child's father is so irresponsible, why do you bother to hide it?"
The emperor looked at the prince and asked, "Prince, what do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuejin immediately fell silent and stepped aside.
The prince was feeling a little embarrassed at this moment.
Zheng Yuejin didn't know it, but he recognized the handwriting of the two doctors who diagnosed it as a "false pregnancy". They were written by his father's imperial physician and the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau respectively.
These two are the most skilled doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and their diagnosis will never be wrong.
The prince knelt down and said, "I am stupid. Please punish me, Father."
Zheng Yuejin was shocked when she saw this. She realized that something was wrong and dared not say anything more.
The emperor glanced at the three people below him, then turned to the imperial physician and the court judge: "Do you know how the second daughter of the Zheng family got pregnant? Can it be resolved?"
The judge bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I only know of this secret method, but I have never seen the solution. Please forgive my incompetence."
The imperial physician stepped forward and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, I have seen some relevant prescriptions before, but the solution is incomplete.
If Your Majesty approves, I will do my best to complete the solution and try to resolve it.
Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't understand. According to ancient records, you just need to wait until the time of delivery, and the blood stasis in your body will be discharged."
At this point, the result is clear, and looking back and carefully examining the causes is as easy as peeling off a cocoon and pulling out silk.
From what happened in the palace today, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zheng Yuejin was the mastermind behind this farce.
But everything requires real evidence, and we can't convict her based on people's speculation.
But after this incident, Zheng Yuejin had been sentenced to "death" in the emperor's mind.
The emperor looked at the prince, his tone calm but with hidden dignity: "Now that the result is clear, do you still want to continue with today's wedding?
If you wish to continue, there is still one stick of incense left before the auspicious hour; if you do not wish, the Second Miss of the Zheng family will be sent to the Royal Temple to practice asceticism with her hair uncut."
After a pause, he added, "Since she has already entered the Eastern Palace, even if the ceremony has not yet been completed, there is absolutely no possibility for her to marry anyone else. This is not only for the dignity of the royal family, but also for her own good."
The reason is obvious - Zheng Xingyao once entered the Eastern Palace and almost married the prince. Even if this experience proves her innocence, if the royal family does not want her, no one will dare to marry her again.
If I stay in the Zheng family and am disliked by my family, it would be better to go to the royal temple and live in peace.
In her heart, Zheng Xingyao actually prefers the latter.
When she goes to the royal temple, her mother will definitely secretly prepare some food for her, so her life will not be too bad.
Her father and grandmother may have grievances, but she still has her mother to rely on.
If you save some money when you are young, you can live a good life when you are old.
What's more, the prince she met today really disgusted her.
But she had no initiative from beginning to end and could only hold her breath and wait for the prince's reply.
