Chapter 110: It's Inseparable from Concubine Liang
The three imperial doctors took turns to carefully check Liu Ruyan's pulse, and finally came to the conclusion: "Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is indeed pregnant, but it's not even a month yet, so it's not easy to detect."
"What……"
Concubine Kang shook her body, looking shocked: "How is this possible... Imperial Doctor, could you have made a mistake?!"
Why did Liu Ruyan get pregnant when her child was killed by Liu Ruyan? She really couldn't accept it!
The imperial physician bowed and said, "My lady Kang, this is the result jointly determined by me and the other two imperial physicians. It cannot be wrong."
Tears welled up in Concubine Kang's eyes, and she suddenly smiled sadly.
Look! God is so unfair! Good people don’t have a good ending, but bad people can get blessings!
The emperor's brows frowned slightly.
Shen Zhinian's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, "Sister Liu's pregnancy is a great joyous event for the harem. Sister Kang must be thinking of her own child, so she feels sad..."
The emperor was ruthless. If Concubine Kang was immersed in sorrow and hatred and showed dissatisfaction with the heir, it would consume the emperor's sympathy for her.
At this moment, Liu Ruyan's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and she woke up from her "coma": "Your Majesty... What's wrong with my concubine..."
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were gloomy and he said nothing.
Xun You knelt beside the bed and cried with joy: "My lady, you are really pregnant!"
Liu Ruyan stroked her still flat belly with her hands, with a look of unbelievable surprise in her eyes: "I... I really have a child?"
Xun You nodded continuously: "The three imperial doctors made the diagnosis at the same time, it's absolutely true!"
Liu Ruyan was pretending to be unconscious, so she naturally heard what Xunyou just said to the emperor.
She turned to look at the emperor, tearfully saying, "I was confused for a moment and almost made Sister Kang sick. I know I have sinned deeply. But I beg Your Majesty to forgive me and give me another chance, considering that I am doing this for the health of the heir to the throne..."
The concubine who also joined Queen Jiang took the opportunity to say, "If Concubine Kang hadn't asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to deduct Concubine Liu's expenses, she wouldn't have been desperate and resorted to such a desperate measure."
"In my humble opinion, both of them are wrong. It would be better to make peace and everyone will be happy. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Little did they know that once it was confirmed that Liu Ruyan was pregnant with the heir to the throne, many people in the harem would regard her as a thorn in their side! Especially Concubine Liu, whose eyes were filled with gloom.
"Your Majesty, it is certainly a happy event that Concubine Liu is pregnant. But after watching this drama today, even I feel sorry for Concubine Kang. She just lost her child, and now she has to watch her enemy get pregnant. It's really pitiful..."
Concubine Zhou touched her belly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Kang is so pitiful. You must not not punish Concubine Liu just because she is pregnant. This will not only hurt Sister Kang's heart, but also affect the atmosphere of the harem, making everyone think that as long as they are pregnant, they can do evil things without restraint."
A concubine who is pregnant with the royal heir is extremely valuable. Now, only Concubine Zhou will not be blamed by the emperor for attacking Liu Ruyan.
Finally, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Liu Ruyan deeply and said, "The evidence is solid that Concubine Liu murdered the imperial concubine, but for the sake of the heir, she will be punished to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors and copy the palace rules ten times."
"The fire-making eunuch Xiaodunzi and the imperial chef Wang Yuchu are accomplices of the evildoer. Their crimes are unforgivable. They shall be beaten to death immediately!"
Tears flowed down Liu Ruyan's delicate face as she said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! I will reflect on my mistakes and make amends!"
Concubine Kang clenched her hands into fists under her sleeves. Her carefully maintained nails were broken, but she seemed to feel no pain!
Liu Ruyan almost killed her, but His Majesty only gave this vicious woman such a light punishment? !
When Liu Ruyan gives birth to an imperial heir, will she be completely trampled under her feet because of her son's status as a mother? !
She refuses to accept it! ! !
"His Majesty……"
Before Concubine Kang could finish her remaining words, Shen Zhinian grabbed her sleeve and shook his head at her calmly.
After all, no woman in the harem is as important as the heir to the throne in the emperor's heart. Liu Ruyan has a golden ticket to avoid death, and the emperor will never punish her severely.
Even if Concubine Kang continued to make trouble, it would not lead to any result. Instead, it would reduce the emperor's favor towards her, which would not be worth the loss.
It would be better to keep calm for the time being, let the emperor feel guilty towards her, and plan for the future.
Concubine Kang was not a stupid person, she was just blinded by hatred. When she met Shen Zhinian's steady eyes, her mind gradually became clear.
Right! She couldn't be impulsive, otherwise she would just do what the vicious woman Liu Ruyan wanted!
Thanks to Sister Rou for stopping her in time, otherwise His Majesty’s favorability towards her would definitely decrease.
When Concubine Kang looked at Shen Zhinian, she couldn't help but feel a hint of gratitude.
Concubine Liang has always been a good person. She smiled gently and said, "It is a great joy that Concubine Liu is pregnant, but Your Majesty cannot ignore Concubine Kang's grievances. Only by eliminating the misunderstandings and resentments between them can the sisters in the harem live in harmony."
The emperor already felt a little guilty towards Concubine Kang, so he immediately said, "Li Changde, give Concubine Kang the lotus stone pan-chi ear cover stove from my private storehouse."
"Slave, you obey!"
In an instant, everyone looked at Concubine Kang with a hint of envy or jealousy.
Although they had never seen the hibiscus stone panchi ear cover furnace with their own eyes, they had all heard of it.
It is carved from a whole piece of natural hibiscus stone. It is pink in color and covered with staggered textures. It looks simple and honest, and the carving is extremely exquisite.
The abdomen is carved with two groups of symmetrical Pan Chi, as well as a ring-shaped ear on the door knocker. The top of the lid is carved with four small Pan Chi with exquisite craftsmanship. The interior has a natural ice flower texture, and the Pan Chi on the top of the lid and on both sides are smart and elegant.
It is said that burning incense in this furnace will give it a long-lasting, slightly fragrant aroma!
The most important thing is that the hibiscus stone pan-chi ear cover stove is the emperor's favorite thing, and giving it to Concubine Kang is the highest honor!
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your reward!"
Concubine Kang knelt down to express her gratitude, but her smile did not reach her eyes.
Because she knew very well that the emperor gave her the Hibiscus Stone Panchi Ear Covered Furnace not because he loved her. He comforted her just because he didn't want her to cause trouble for Liu Ruyan again.
After this incident, Concubine Kang finally understood that the emperor was truly ruthless!
If it wasn't for Sister Rou's reminder, she would have been rejected by the emperor because of her fight with Liu Ruyan. Sister Rou... was the one who really cared about her!
Concubine Liu looked at Liu Ruyan's belly and her teeth were almost broken!
This bitch only got His Majesty's attention by imitating her. How could she be so lucky? !
She couldn't do anything to Liu Ruyan for the time being, but she could attack Concubine Liang: "Sister Concubine Liang, don't be in a hurry to be a good person. You are not unrelated to the fact that Concubine Kang was almost killed!"
