Chapter 39 Zhen Huan 39
Liu Bin stepped forward, knelt beside Zhen Huan, and took her pulse. After a moment, his face was filled with excitement as he said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, you are very happy. Zhen Huan is already one month pregnant."
Yixiu's smile deepened: "Oh? Really? I was looking forward to it just now."
Everyone present came forward to congratulate her, some sincerely and some not, and Yixiu seemed even happier than if she were pregnant herself.
Even Concubine Hua smiled awkwardly.
Yixiu was very excited and immediately ordered, "Quick, go to the Qinzheng Palace to inform the emperor. I think he will be very happy."
Jianqiu smiled and turned to leave.
At this time, Zhen Huan was overwhelmed by joy. Shen Meizhuang had been pressing on her for so long that she couldn't raise her head. Now, let's see who dares to neglect her.
Everyone was congratulating her, but Zhen Huan just sat upright in her seat, which instantly dampened everyone's joy.
He dared to accept their gifts for a small promise, neither standing up nor returning the gift. He was truly arrogant.
Concubine Hua was immediately disgusted: "Zhen Ying is so arrogant, she actually dared to sit there and accept the respect of the concubines in the harem. Could it be that you want to be the queen?"
When Zhen Huan heard the scolding, she finally reacted and stood up to apologize to the Queen, Concubine Hua and all the concubines with a very respectful attitude.
Jianqiu returned quickly, but the Emperor did not follow. "Your Majesty, the Emperor was discussing matters with the court. He was very happy to hear that Zhen Ying was pregnant, and he immediately restored Zhen Ying's status and title as a noble lady."
Afterwards, Jianqiu bowed to Zhen Huan again and said, "This servant congratulates Lady Wan. The Emperor said that he will come to see you when he is done."
Zhen Huan couldn't contain her excitement and nodded to Jianqiu, saying, "Thank you, Aunt Jianqiu."
When Yixiu heard the news that Zhen Huan had been reinstated, her eyes darkened. She didn't expect that after so many things had happened, the emperor still cared about her so much.
She had not expected that she would regain her position. Sooner or later, Zhen Huan would become a serious threat to her.
"Since the Emperor is pregnant, I, the Concubine, must also be part of the family. Concubine Wan is pregnant, so it's not appropriate for her to live in the small space in the backyard. I will move you to the east side of the Bitong Academy. Do you like that?"
Zhen Huan immediately stood up and thanked her: "I like it very much. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he looked at Shen Meizhuang provocatively.
Shen Meizhuang ignored Zhen Huan. Her attention was completely drawn to Yixiu at this moment, because she was more convinced that this matter was definitely directed at her.
She had less than a month left before her due date, and the midwife had already been prepared and was staying at Bitong Academy.
She used her connections in the palace but could not find any loopholes.
I had no choice but to write home and use my family connections, but I still couldn't find anything.
Combined with Zhen Huan's fake pregnancy today, the Queen was too busy trying to kick Concubine Hua when she was down, so why would she cooperate with her plan? All the signs indicate that the Queen's ultimate goal is to plot against her.
This uneasiness grew more and more. Just before the greetings ended, Yixiu specifically reminded me of the family dinner that would be held in more than half a month.
After leaving Changchun Fairy House, the words "family banquet" kept circling in Shen Meizhuang's mind. She also saw the excitement on Yixiu's face and the look of success in Concubine Hua's eyes.
They all wanted to take advantage of the Seder.
While thinking constantly, Shen Meizhuang slowly walked back to Bitong Academy. As soon as she entered the door, Xiao Luzi handed her a purse and a letter.
Seeing the label was from Wen Shichu, Shen Meizhuang felt a little relieved as she pinched her purse and the small bottle. The medicine she asked Wen Shichu to make was finally ready.
She originally thought that she would wait until after giving birth to take revenge for all the sufferings she had endured this year, but now it seems that she can't wait any longer.
I don’t know what Yixiu wants to do with Zhen Huan, but it would be good if she could disrupt their plans.
A few days later, Zhen Huan had moved to the East Wing Hall, and it was time to check her pulse.
Xiao Shanzi was quick on his feet. As soon as Zhen Huan finished her breakfast, he brought in an imperial physician.
Zhen Huan couldn't help but frowned. Before she could speak, Huanbi walked over, raised her chin, and said proudly,
"Xiao Shanzi, the young lady has always used Doctor Liu, and you've asked him several times. How could you have made a mistake now?"
Xiao Shanzi smiled awkwardly and said, "My lord, when I arrived, I couldn't find Doctor Liu. I was afraid of delaying the treatment, so I asked Doctor Zhang to come. I've made inquiries and Doctor Zhang's medical skills are also very impressive."
Zhen Huan looked Xiao Shanzi up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. She had checked on this man and found that he had lived a very poor life in the past. Even so, she had no intention of moving.
She didn't even rely on Xiao Yunzi's relationship, and Xiao Yunzi was loyal to her. It seemed that she really didn't see Doctor Liu in what happened today.
However, she didn't have to use Doctor Liu. If his medical skills were good, she could recruit one more to avoid being deceived, so she nodded slightly.
Doctor Zhang knelt down to take the patient's pulse, but after placing his fingers on the patient for a moment, his face changed drastically and his fingertips began to tremble.
Zhen Huan panicked for a moment, not knowing what was wrong, so she calmly asked, "Doctor, is there something wrong with my health?"
Doctor Zhang understood. If Wei Lin hadn't asked him to come, saying there was a chance to become his exclusive doctor, he wouldn't have come. Such a secret would offend people!
"My dear, I have been practicing medicine for more than ten years. I am very sure that you are not pregnant."
In just a moment, everyone was shocked. Huanbi even stepped forward and shouted, "This imperial physician is so rude! My young lady has been pregnant for over a month, so how come there is no pulse?"
Zhen Huan calmed herself down and recalled how Liu Bin checked her pulse and offered her a prescription for pregnancy, and how he later diagnosed her pregnancy. This made her suspect that this was a conspiracy.
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Xiao Shanzi suggested, "Miss Huanbi, please keep your voice down. Do you want everyone outside to hear?"
Zhen Huan glared at Huanbi unhappily, and Huanbi glared at Xiaoshanzi in return.
Xiao Shanzi touched his nose and said, "My lady, why don't I go to the Imperial Hospital secretly and ask a doctor to come. That way, we will know which doctor is telling the truth and which one is lying."
Zhen Huan agreed with his suggestion, but did not let Xiao Shanzi go.
It is possible that someone colluded with Xiaoshan Zikuang to deceive her, so she ordered Liuzhu to secretly go to the Imperial Hospital and invite another imperial physician.
After taking the pulse, it was also confirmed that there was no pregnancy pulse, which made Zhen Huan completely give up.
After giving the two imperial doctors a purse as hush money, Xiao Shanzi respectfully sent them out.
When he reached the door, he nodded quietly to Xiao Luzi, and Xiao Luzi also gave him a thumbs-up gesture in return.
Xiao Shanzi was very happy to receive the affirmation. It was a rare occasion that Concubine Ning asked him to do something, so he had to do it beautifully.
He walked to the door of the east wing hall with a smile on his face, and immediately his face darkened.
I couldn't help but feel emotional. Now that he has learned face-changing, he can even act in movies. If he leaves the palace in the future, he will definitely join that opera troupe to make a living.
