Chapter 195 Who is the biggest beneficiary?
Imperial Physicians Zhen and Cheng didn't dare to speak, but the other imperial physicians bravely said, "I just diagnosed the Fourth Princess' pulse, and it's definitely not a slippery pulse. Furthermore, the Fourth Princess shows no signs of miscarriage. It's just a normal pulse..."
The other imperial physicians gave the same diagnosis.
Imperial Physician Liao and Imperial Physician Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If everyone's judgment is exactly the same, then it's not their problem.
Imperial Physician Zhen and Imperial Physician Cheng knelt down together, both of them were sweating profusely.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I misdiagnosed your pulse earlier. I deserve death!"
They were so confused. It was clearly just a simple slippery pulse, how could they have misdiagnosed it? And two people made the same mistake at the same time. There must be something fishy going on!
But no matter how strange it was, they had no choice but to accept the charge.
Their official careers are doomed to end, and now all they can do is wait and see if they can save their lives.
Xiao Wanzhen's body softened and she couldn't even sit still for a moment.
Her face was pale and full of disbelief.
"How is this possible? This is ridiculous. I don't believe it. You must be lying to me!"
She had been waiting for a child for so many years, she was so happy, but now she was told that everything was a misdiagnosis, so what was her previous joy? It was simply a joke.
"I'm clearly pregnant, how could it be fake? I've been experiencing morning sickness every day lately, and the symptoms are exactly the same as when I was pregnant with Sister Lan! You made a mistake, you must have made a mistake, take my pulse again!"
Xiao Wanzhen's condition had become somewhat crazy, and Emperor Defeng reprimanded her with a stern face.
"Alright! How can you make such a fuss in front of our ancestors?"
Xiao Wanzhen's face was covered with tears. "Father, you must believe me. I'm clearly pregnant. How could it be like what they say? Having children is such a big deal. How could I joke about it?"
Emperor Defeng glanced at the imperial physicians, "Are you all sure of your diagnosis?"
Everyone nodded confidently, "Your humble servant can guarantee with your own head that the diagnosis is absolutely correct. The Fourth Princess' pulse is definitely not slippery."
Everyone spoke with one voice, and Emperor Defeng had already made a judgment in his mind.
Her pregnancy was a complete misunderstanding.
It is true that someone took the pulse wrong, but not this time, but the last time.
Xiao Wanzhen shook her head stubbornly, "No, it's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. I'm clearly pregnant! They must be lying. Kill them all!"
Emperor Defeng scolded him in a deep voice, "Shut up! The facts are right in front of us. How long are you going to deceive yourself?"
Xiao Wanzhen's body trembled violently, and the madness and stubbornness on her face instantly broke through, turning into a heavy aura of death.
She covered her face and sobbed.
God knows how much she is looking forward to the arrival of this child.
This child was not only the key for her to regain her foothold in the Lu family, but also rekindled her hope for her own health.
But now, everything is shattered.
Her child had never come.
This was all a misunderstanding? This is a complete joke!
Emperor Defeng couldn't bear to see her like this, so he didn't scold her anymore.
He turned his gaze to Doctor Zhen and Doctor Cheng, "You two, why did you misdiagnose the princess's pulse last time? Was the princess' pulse truly abnormal, or did you accept bribes from someone and deliberately lie?"
The two imperial physicians kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please be clear. I simply misdiagnosed your pulse. I would never deliberately say anything nonsense!"
Emperor Defeng's eyes were dark. "How could he have misdiagnosed a common slippery pulse?"
"Your Majesty, I'm not trying to quibble. The princess' pulse was very clear last time. It was indeed like a slippery pulse. I still don't understand it."
"Exactly. I, the humble servant, cannot figure out what is going on."
Emperor Defeng looked at the two of them, with a strange look in his eyes.
Who is lying? If no one is lying, then whose fault is it?
At this time, Xiao Yanci stood up and said, "Father, I remembered something. I wonder if it is related to my sister's pregnancy."
Everyone looked at him, and Xiao Yanci spoke slowly.
"I've heard Nan Sheng mention an old pulse case before. The late emperor had a concubine who, in order to frame other concubines, deliberately took a secret medicine to create a slippery pulse that was so real it could be mistaken for a real one."
"After that, she would find the right opportunity to cause a miscarriage and pin the blame on another concubine. Even if the imperial physician diagnosed the concubine's pulse as normal and not a sign of miscarriage, they wouldn't dare to speak out without evidence. This way, she could easily frame the concubine, and she always succeeded."
When Xiao Baozhu heard this, she also felt very familiar.
She immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, I remember too, Ah Sheng did say there was such a medicine!"
Xiao Wanzhen roared passionately, "What do you mean by that? Do you suspect I deliberately set up a trap to frame others? Who did I frame? Just to frame these two imperial physicians?"
Xiao Yanci tried to appease her, "Please calm down, my dear sister. This is not my intention. I just thought it was strange and that's why I remembered it. Even if these two doctors are not very skilled, they couldn't have misdiagnosed a slippery pulse, right? My dear sister, please think carefully. Is there anyone suspicious around you?"
Xiao Wanzhen's face was filled with shock and confusion.
Could it be that she was really drugged? But who on earth would give her such a drug?
Xiao Yanci reminded her, "If you really can't figure it out, why not reverse the situation and work it out? If you mistakenly believe you're pregnant, who would benefit the most? The person who benefits the most is the one who is most suspicious."
She is pregnant, who is the biggest beneficiary?
Xiao Wanzhen's thoughts turned over and over in her mind, and she went through the people around her one by one. Finally, she thought of someone, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
"It's Zhao Shuning! It must be her!"
Zhao Shuning came to take care of her body, and not long after, she became pregnant.
Moreover, she didn't get pregnant earlier or later, but just happened to get pregnant when the concubine and the bastard came into the house.
The arrival of this child saved her from punishment and also made the Lu family adjust their attitude towards her.
It was precisely for this reason that she was extremely grateful to Zhao Shuning, and she respected her even more, and generously gave her a large reward.
Who else could benefit the most except her?
After that, she only needed to find an opportunity to miscarry this imaginary child.
At that time, even if the doctor found some clues in her pulse, she would probably think that he had made a mistake and would not dare to say it directly. Even if the doctor told her, she would definitely not believe it.
Just like just now, if all the imperial doctors had not been present today and had not all given the same diagnosis, how could she have believed it? She was afraid that until her death, she would not know that she had been fooled by them.
When Concubine Li heard this, her expression changed slightly.
Zhao Shuning is indeed the person most likely to do this. Not only does she have the motivation, she also has the ability.
The more Xiao Wanzhen thought about it, the more certain she became of her suspicions. "It must have been her, Father! She was so audacious as to drug me. You must stand up for me!"
