Chapter 267 Chapter 267: The big fish is the queen

  Concubine Yi: "Isn't it? You'll scold me if I smile. The empress is still sitting there. Even the emperor didn't say a word, just you jumping up and down."

   These words were a bit harsh, and Concubine Shu couldn't hold back immediately.

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Empress Song interrupted them in a cold voice: "If you want to quarrel outside Jingren Palace, use this palace as a vegetable market."

  Concubine Yi stood up resolutely and pleaded guilty to Empress Song: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this concubine has made a mistake."

   Seeing this, Concubine Shu could only stand up and salute unwillingly: "My lord, forgive me."

  After the salute, before Queen Song could speak, she sat down again.

  That appearance, I have to be perfunctory.

  The concubine and the nobles who were sitting in the back looked at each other, all of them were silent, and some people regretted this encounter in their hearts.

  It is great to see the emperor, but in this smoky situation, I am afraid that if one thing goes wrong, others will be affected.

  Concubine Xian glanced at Concubine Yi in surprise, thinking that the rumors these days were indeed true, Concubine Yi suddenly became close to the queen.

Why is that?

   This doubt ran through her mind, and then she left it behind.

   Now is not the time to think about this.

   After waiting for another quarter of an hour, I saw Hu Qian walking in in a hurry. Because he ran too fast, there was fine cold sweat on his forehead.

  The moment Concubine Zhen saw Hu Qian, she couldn't sit still and stood up immediately, staring at Hu Qian closely.

  Hu Qian didn't dawdle, and after saluting to everyone, he said: "Report to the emperor, Imperial Physician Xu is willing to recruit, and the slave immediately brought him into the palace when he heard."

   As he spoke, he turned around and said, "Bring people in."

  Two young eunuchs carried the blood-soaked doctor Xu into the main hall.

  As soon as they entered, the hall was filled with a faint smell of blood. Yun Lu and Shaohua immediately lit spices to dispel the blood in the hall.

  Physician Xu was thrown on the ground. Because of being tortured, he could only lie on his stomach. When he opened his mouth, the blood foam from his mouth spit out.

  Concubine Shu covered her mouth with a veil in disgust: "Being beaten like this, can you still explain clearly?"

   Concubine Yi didn't speak, but she also showed puzzled eyes.

  Concubine Xian looked closely at Doctor Xu, although she couldn't see any emotion on her face, she measured her hands but tightly twisted her handkerchief.

  Lu Xiang observed the behavior of the three of them, and finally his eyes stayed on Concubine Xian for a while, and then moved away calmly.

  Hu Qian cupped his hands towards Concubine Shu and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as you want to ask, he can still speak."

   Everyone knows that they want to pry something out of Dr. Xu's mouth, so they won't kill people, but it's just uncomfortable.

   Physician Xu entered the Ministry of Punishment and only received the third punishment, so he couldn't stand it and begged for mercy.

   "Physician Xu, the concubine is clearly not pregnant, why do you lie that she is pregnant? Who told you to do this?"

   Empress Song slapped the table angrily.

  As soon as these words came out, Concubine Shu and other subsequent concubines all showed shocked expressions, and subconsciously looked at Concubine Zhen.

  I have always looked at the concubine ashamed.

  After the shock, everyone felt a burst of joy in their hearts.

   It is a fake to engage in a half-day concubine's pregnancy.

Concubine Shu was even more unscrupulous, showing a look of gloating, she half-covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Oh, what's going on? The concubine Zhen is not pregnant. Is this a fake pregnancy on purpose to compete for favor? Concubine Zhen, you are too confused."

   Talking confusedly, the sarcasm in his eyes is about to overflow.

  The concubine Zhen bit her lip, and said indifferently: "The concubine Shu is careful, the empress said that it was the imperial doctor Xu who lied about the concubine's pregnancy, not the concubine pretending to be pregnant."

   "Is there a difference? Maybe you and Imperial Doctor Xu jointly planned this." Concubine Shu said, squinting at the concubine Zhen.

  After the shock, Concubine Xian was filled with panic, her fingers gripping the arm of the chair turned pale, if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she would hardly be able to sit still.

  Is it really for this matter that Imperial Doctor Xu was arrested?

  How did the empress realize that the doctor Xu was wrong, and how did the concubine find out that she was not pregnant?

  A series of questions caused Concubine Xian's mind to be in chaos. She tried her best to calm herself down, but she became more and more flustered.

  During this period of time, Imperial Physician Xu has been taking care of Concubine Zhen's fetus, and Concubine Zhen has not asked other imperial physicians to check her pulse. Why did she suddenly expose it?

  Empress Song glared at Concubine Shu coldly: "Shut up."

   Concubine Shu gritted her teeth angrily, seeing that the emperor didn't speak, she could only close her mouth in resentment.

Doctor Xu prostrated on the ground, gasping for a few times. After being severely punished, his defenses had already been broken. He would not struggle and cry for injustice. The concubine contributed a prescription to help her conceive, so the concubine Zhen recognized Weichen's medical skills, so she kept asking Weichen for pulse. It has been done for several years, so the concubine Zhen didn't have any doubts, and the minister gave her medicine to make her no longer have menstruation in a short time..."

  Concubine Zhen was so angry that her hands shook, she said angrily, "I trust you so much, why did you do this?"

Imperial Physician Xu didn't look at the concubine Zhen, he grinned his teeth in pain because he hurt his wound because of speaking, paused, and continued: "Originally, I asked the maid of Yanxi Palace to pretend to reveal concubine Zhen unintentionally. The rumor of not being pregnant, when the emperor suspects it, he will naturally ask other imperial physicians to take a pulse, and then the concubine will be charged with deceiving the emperor, and there is no way to explain it."

   "At that time, I will admit that I gave the empress's will..."

  Hearing this, Empress Song couldn't help being annoyed and laughed: "It's really ridiculous. I am the master of the harem. There are many ways to deal with the concubines. Why is it so troublesome?"

  When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nodded in their hearts.

   No, who the empress wants to punish, even if it is true, it can make your life miserable. You need to call an imperial doctor to plot against the concubine Zhen.

  It's just a concubine, and it's not the emperor's special favor. The queen doesn't deal with the concubine who has a prince, but the chastity?

Just kidding.

   And that was Lu Xiang's aunt. Didn't it mean that the queen loved Lu Xiang so much that she took care of her concubine Zhen in the harem? Is this still a lie?

Imperial Physician Xu shook his head and said: "That's not the case, but the empress ordered the minister to act out this fake pregnancy scene with the concubine Zhen. The empress has no children of her own, so she tried to make the concubine a fake pregnancy in order to avoid the birth One day, he brought a baby boy from outside the palace to be his own son. In this way, it is not only the concubine who deceives the emperor, but the queen who deceives the emperor."

  If this happens, even if Empress Song does not die, she will definitely be deposed.

  So the fake pregnancy of the concubine Zhen is just a bait, and the big fish the person behind it really wants to catch is Queen Song.

  Emperor Cheng De was shocked when he heard this.
