Chapter 153 Thorough Investigation
Concubine Hua habitually followed An Lingrong forward a few steps, then stopped awkwardly.
"Sister Shufei, if you feel unwell, please go back first. I can't just leave like this."
As she walked, she accidentally glanced at the magnificent palace in the distance, and then she remembered that the emperor seemed to have asked Su Peisheng to convey a message once.
Let her take over the palace affairs temporarily!
Although she didn't pay much attention to the garden, now that the horse was scared right under her nose, it would be unreasonable for her not to come forward.
An Lingrong didn't expect that Concubine Hua would take on the palace affairs again, so she just gave her a gentle reminder.
"Sister Hua Fei, there's movement at the palace gate. You'd better report it to the emperor."
It is very likely that the Queen was the one who frightened Zhen Huan's horse, and An Lingrong didn't want to be the one to take the blame.
"Thank you for your reminder, sister. I know what to do now."
Concubine Hua turned around and gave Songzhi another instruction.
"Can you take someone to see what's going on outside?"
The old queen is not idle even during her confinement period, how annoying!
Less than half an hour later, Concubine Hua appeared outside the Yangxin Palace in a hurry.
"Eunuch Su, there has been an accident at the palace gate. I would like to see the emperor. Please pass the message on."
Seeing the unprecedented solemnity in Concubine Hua's voice, Su Peisheng trotted into the palace without caring that the emperor would pay his respects to Shoukang Palace later.
"My beloved, what happened at the palace gate?"
The emperor's first reaction was that the remnants of Prince Dun's rebellion were here to cause trouble.
"Your Majesty, someone tampered with Wanpin's horse and smashed Shupin's carriage into pieces."
"Your Majesty, it's clear someone is trying to murder the heir to the throne. Please investigate carefully."
Upon hearing this, the emperor was so shocked that he stood up and asked anxiously.
"Are Hongzhan, Shufei, and Wanpin all safe?"
"Your Majesty, I cannot bear to hear Sixth Prince call me 'mother', so I cordially invite him and Concubine Shu to ride with me. Sixth Prince is fine, but Concubine Shu seems to have had a miscarriage and has returned to Yonghe Palace to recuperate."
As for Zhen Huan, she really didn't pay much attention to her.
"I have ordered someone to escort Concubine Wan back to Suiyuxuan, and have also sent for the imperial physician to see her."
Concubine Hua glanced at the emperor who was emitting anger, and continued angrily.
"Your Majesty, I clearly remembered that Wanpin's carriage should follow behind Jingpin's. I don't know why it moved forward this time."
"There must be something fishy going on here. I beg the Emperor to severely punish the perpetrators."
Su Peisheng, who was changing Wanpin's position as ordered by the emperor, broke out in a cold sweat. This time, his old friend was likely to be in trouble.
"My beloved, I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The emperor ordered Su Peisheng to take people to check on the spot, and ordered Hua Fei to go to Yonghe Palace to check on Shu Fei's condition on her behalf.
"Sister Hua Fei, are you coming to Yonghe Palace just like that?"
Concubine Hua, who was holding Hongzhan tightly, nodded happily.
"I came to Yonghe Palace on the emperor's orders, so I'm not worried about what the person in Jingren Palace or others might think."
"Has Sister Shufei summoned the imperial physician?"
"Bao Ge has gone to the Imperial Hospital and will be back soon."
"People have arrived at the palace gate."
An Lingrong pointed at the two people coming in from outside and said.
Looking at Baoge walking side by side with Wei Lin, An Lingrong found that Baoge seemed to have grown into a big girl without her noticing.
She thought about waiting for two years when the children grew up a little, and then asking the two people who followed them into the palace if they were willing to get married.
"Your humble servant, Wei Lin from the Imperial Hospital, pays respects to Her Majesty Hua Fei and Her Majesty Shu Fei."
As Concubine Shu's confidant, he knew the Empress' attitude towards Yikun Palace better than outsiders.
Because he didn't feel strange about Concubine Hua holding the Sixth Prince and teasing him.
"Please rise, Doctor Wei. I was frightened at the palace gate and I'm worried about harming the dragon fetus. Please take a look."
Wei Lin walked forward with a serious expression, took out a handkerchief and covered her wrist.
After taking the pulse of both hands, he lowered his head and considered his words.
Concubine Shu has a good appetite, and everything she eats nourishes the dragon fetus.
If I follow the Empress's way of eating, I will definitely suffer a lot during childbirth.
"Doctor Wei, is there something wrong with Concubine Shu?"
Hua Fei, who was teasing Hongzhan, saw that he didn't say anything and couldn't help but ask.
"Reporting to the two queens, judging from the pulse, the dragon fetus is growing too fast, which may be detrimental to the later delivery."
When Wei Lin said this, he glanced at Baoge who was hanging his head without leaving any trace.
When the queen first entered the garden, she was not allowed to eat meat, which made the servants feel very sorry for her.
Especially Bao Ge, who was in charge of the small kitchen, wanted to drag him up to dawn three times a day to see the empress, so that the empress would eat more.
As soon as the Empress had an appetite, she would feed her with all her strength.
"I have learned from ancient texts that pregnant women should control their diet in the later stages of pregnancy, otherwise the nutrients will directly affect the fetus."
"The fruits and vegetables that the Queen eats in the garden are all very delicious."
Wei Lin expressed his thoughts carefully.
"Are you saying that the thin-armed and thin-legged Concubine Shu eats too much?"
Concubine Hua looked at the delicate and petite An Lingrong in disbelief.
"To Her Majesty Hua, this is what was written in the notes of the ancestors. Her Majesty Shu should not take any heavy tonics. It is best for her to walk around Yonghe Palace a few times a day."
Ever since he realized that the Empress might be pregnant with twins, Wei Lin had read through many letters from the Imperial Hospital.
No matter whether the queen is carrying a boy or a girl, as long as the baby is born safely, it will be unique in the entire harem.
Moreover, judging from the pulse, there is a 50% chance that the Empress will have twins, a boy and a girl.
All his wealth and glory depended on Concubine Shu, so even if Wei Lin was reprimanded, he had to tell the truth.
An Lingrong, stroking her big belly, agreed to the advice.
"I understand. Baoge, from now on, your meals will be arranged according to what Doctor Wei said."
"Yes, I will ask Dr. Wei for more advice."
Bao Ge knew the seriousness of the matter.
The Empress is the backbone of Yonghe Palace, and nothing must happen to her.
Bao Ge pulled Wei Lin out to discuss the Queen's later dietary arrangements. On the other side, Wen Shichu took Zhen Huan's pulse under the Emperor's oppressive gaze.
Sitting on the couch, Zhen Huan had a large, light pink bump in the middle of her forehead, and she felt dizzy.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wan suffered a head injury and needs to rest."
"I will prescribe some nourishing medicine."
Wen Shichu felt that there was something strange about Concubine Wan's pulse, but because the emperor was here, he did not express his guess.
The Queen had just lost her dragon fetus, and he couldn't bring trouble to Huan'er because of an uncertain guess.
The Emperor held Zhen Huan's hand distressedly and said, "I know you have been wronged. I will thoroughly investigate this matter and give you justice."
"I thank you, Your Majesty. This time, the frightened horse bumped into the carriage of the Concubine Shu. I suspect the person behind this is trying to kill two birds with one stone."
"Fortunately, Madam Shufei was not in the carriage at the time, otherwise I would have been unable to sleep or eat in peace."
Zhen Huan placed her other hand on her belly, checking for suspicious objects in her mind.
