The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

When Su Peisheng returned to the palace again, he was followed by Concubine Hui, Concubine Wan and Wen Shichu.

When the emperor saw Concubine Wan, his expression softened a little, and his tone was also gentle: "Why are you here too? Are you feeling better?"

Wanpin looked unhappy. She looked at everyone in the palace and shook her head. "When Eunuch Su came to invite Sister Mei, I was with Sister Mei and Doctor Wen, so we came together."

The emperor looked at Concubine Wan and waved his hand, "You are pregnant now, and you were poisoned just now, come and sit next to me."

Concubine Wan walked to the side of the emperor and sat down. At this time, Xiao Xia Zi came in with many imperial doctors, but Liu Bin was missing.

"Your servant pays respect to His Majesty. I have invited all the doctors on duty in the Imperial Medical Bureau to come here. However, Doctor Liu Bin is not on duty today, so he did not come." Xiao Xia Zi said respectfully.

The emperor nodded, and Huipin's gentle and dignified voice sounded, "I don't know why the emperor asked me to come here this time? And why is my maid here? But what did she do wrong to anger the emperor?"

After Huipin finished speaking, she knelt down, looking as if she had failed to discipline her child well and hoped that the emperor would forgive her.

Xia Da Ying said in a sarcastic voice, "Madam Hui, do you know that Fuling is a maid in your palace? The emperor already knows about your fake pregnancy, why don't you confess the truth?"

As soon as Xia Dongchun finished speaking, Nian Shilan retorted rudely, "Xia Yi, have you forgotten the palace rules again? The emperor is still here, and it's not your turn to speak here."

Xia Dongchun shuddered slightly when she heard what Nian Shilan said. Nian Shilan was really too powerful. She had fought against her several times but never gained any benefit. Xia Dongchun had a psychological trauma towards Nian Shilan.

Huipin was very shocked at this time, "Fake pregnancy? How could I have a fake pregnancy? Your Majesty, I hope you can understand. I dare not make fun of the royal heir."

The emperor said calmly: "Don't panic, Concubine Hui. Let the imperial doctors check your pulse and they will know the truth."

Huipin looked at the emperor in disbelief, "Does the emperor suspect me?"

The emperor did not say anything, but Concubine Hui understood what he meant. She felt a little cold in her heart, but finally said nothing more. She exposed her arm and waited for the imperial physician to take her pulse.

When the emperor saw this scene, he raised his head slightly and signaled Doctor Zhang to go first.

After Imperial Doctor Zhang examined the patient, he hesitated for a long time without saying anything. Imperial Doctors Jiang Cheng and Jiang Shen then examined the patient again, and finally Imperial Doctor Wen took the patient's pulse.

After all the imperial doctors had examined the patient's pulse, they gathered together and whispered for a while. The emperor did not urge them but just looked at them silently. After discussion, Imperial Doctor Zhang finally reported back.

"Reporting to the emperor, Concubine Hui is indeed pregnant, and it has been more than four months now. However, Concubine Hui does have some drugs in her body that disrupt the fetus. If a non-pregnant person takes it, the pulse will be that of a pregnant woman. If a pregnant person takes it, the pulse will be double."

When Huipin heard this, tears welled up in her eyes. "Doctor Zhang, you said there are drugs in my body? Will that have an effect on the fetus?"

When the emperor heard what Huipin said, he also looked at Doctor Zhang nervously. Doctor Zhang shook his head and said, "The drug in your majesty's body is relatively light, so it's fine for now, but you must not use it again. If it accumulates, there will be consequences."

After hearing this, Huipin knelt down immediately and said, "Your Majesty, please help me. I am already pregnant, and there is absolutely no need for me to take this kind of medicine."

After hearing this, the emperor said nothing, but just looked at Fuling kneeling on the ground. The queen was shocked at this moment. Huipin was pregnant? How could she be pregnant?

Fuling was also shocked. She had clearly seen with her own eyes a few days ago that Huipin handed the blood-stained clothes to Caiyue, asking Caiyue to deal with them quietly. She had secretly followed Caiyue for a long time before picking up the clothes, just to work with the Queen to expose the fact that Huipin was faking pregnancy to win favor. How could she be pregnant?

Concubine Jing suddenly spoke up: "Fuling falsely accused her mistress of faking pregnancy to win favor. She deserves death. If the emperor had not been wise enough to call the imperial physician to diagnose her, it would have been difficult to clear Concubine Hui's name."

Wanpin added, "It's a small matter to not be able to clear Sister Mei's name. But if the emperor really blames Sister Mei out of suspicion and eventually causes damage to the dragon fetus, this will be a big deal. The person who slandered Sister Mei is so cruel that he wants the emperor's child to not be born safely."

After that, Zhen Huan looked at the emperor with tears on her face, "Your Majesty, the pregnancy-preserving medicine I just gave you actually contained a large amount of oleander juice. If it weren't for Doctor Wen, I'm afraid..."

Zhen Huan did not finish the rest of the words. She just looked at the emperor, tears dripping down her face like they were free, wetting her collar. The emperor held Zhen Huan's hand with a distressed look on his face.

"Wanwan, don't worry. I will ensure that our child is born safely." The emperor made the promise in front of many concubines and imperial doctors.

The emperor looked back at the chaotic crowd below the stage, and was furious. "Jianqiu committed treason, slapped thirty times and sentenced to three months of service. Huichun committed treason, framed the concubines, and was caned to death. Fuling falsely accused the young lady and harmed the heir to the throne, dragged her away and beaten to death, and all nine clans were executed. Xiaosongzi falsely accused the concubines, and was caned to death. I will not pursue Xiaobaizi and his family."

Upon hearing this, Fuling and Huichun knelt on the ground in panic. Fuling looked at the queen and cried, "Queen, save me, Queen, I have always obeyed your orders, Queen, save me, I don't want to die."

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately shouted at him, "How dare you! When did I ever teach you to frame Huipin?"

Fuling had lost her mind at this time. She and her family were about to die. She quickly crawled to the emperor's side crying, "Your Majesty, this was all the Queen's idea. The Queen asked me to soak Huipin's bowls and chopsticks with drugs, intending to make Huipin prove that she was faking pregnancy to win favor. Huichun and Xia, who were beside the Queen, agreed to let me do it. If you don't believe it, Your Majesty, you can send someone to bring Huipin's bowls and chopsticks to check one by one."

When the Queen heard Fuling's words, her face turned pale. She didn't expect Fuling to bite back at her. When the Emperor heard Fuling's words, he looked at the people in the audience and knew that he had to investigate the matter, so he had to let Su Peisheng go and bring the things.

Xia Dongchun had never expected that she would be implicated in this, and was very flustered. "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. I really didn't do anything. This lowly maid tried to rape me. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision."

Nian Shilan looked at Xia Da Ying with a mocking look, "This Xia Da Ying is really capable. Every time she is released from house arrest, she can stir up unrest in the harem by herself. She is really a genius."

Su Peisheng quickly took the things back, and after examination by the imperial physician, it was confirmed that drugs had indeed been used.

The emperor said calmly, "As the Empress, you have failed to behave morally. Starting today, the Jingren Palace will be closed. You are not allowed to leave without being summoned. The Empress's Golden Book and Phoenix Seal will be taken back and handed over to Concubine Hua to take care of. Concubine Jing and Concubine Wan will assist you."

When the Queen heard what the Emperor said, she looked at him in disbelief. How could the Emperor give the power to Nian Shilan? Wasn't he most afraid of the Nian family?

The emperor looked at Xia Ying again and said, "Pass on my decree. Xia Ying, who is jealous and has framed the concubines, will be demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace from today on."

After saying this, the emperor didn't want to look at the people present any longer and left in a huff.
