Many midwives spoke in unison, all saying that Concubine Shen was pregnant.

Xiao Rui also ordered Xia Lu to bring many imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau. After all the doctors' investigations, they confirmed that Concubine Shen was not pregnant.

After hearing this, Pearl said in horror, "Your Majesty, this is impossible, Your Majesty! My queen's pregnancy has always been fine, it's impossible, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Rui ignored Zhenzhu who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at Concubine Shen on the bed with a serious face.

Concubine Shen propped herself up and sat up in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, this is not true. I can still feel the baby's movements in my belly from time to time. How could I not be pregnant?"

"Besides...besides..." Shenpin reached out and touched her belly

"Besides, my belly is bulging. How could it be like this if I'm not pregnant?"

There was no expression on Xiao Rui's stern face.

Doctor Chen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, Your Majesty must have been taking certain medicines, which caused your menstrual period to be blocked and your abdomen to swell."

After hearing this, Concubine Shen angrily threw down her pillow and hit Doctor Chen, cursing, "You are talking nonsense! I have never taken any medicine except for pregnancy-preserving medicine!"

"Besides, my belly is constantly moving! Can this be faked? Can I not feel it?"

Doctor Chen rubbed his forehead that was hit and replied, "Your Majesty, it is indeed possible. After taking the medicine, the organs in the abdomen will spasm from time to time, similar to the feeling of fetal movement."

Concubine Shen believed that Doctor Chen was framing her.

He shouted like a madman, "Impossible! You are talking nonsense! Come, drag this doctor who is talking nonsense away and beat him to death with sticks!"

"Who dares?" Xiao Rui said.

After hearing this, Concubine Shen was slightly stunned.

Then, Concubine Shen thought of something and pointed out Doctor Tan who was lowering his head in the crowd.

"Doctor Tan! Stand up! Tell the emperor that you have been in charge of my dragon fetus, and everything is fine!"

Doctor Tan stood up timidly.

He whispered, "Yes...that's it."

But as soon as this was said, it was refuted by all the doctors and midwives, and people all said:

"This is impossible, Concubine Shen is not pregnant at all!"

"Yes, yes, I have been delivering babies for so many years, can't I see these things?

You say something to everyone, and I say something.

Concubine Shen believed that these people must have colluded with each other, and only what Doctor Tan said was true!

"Shut up, all of you! You're all talking nonsense! Doctor Tan has been treating my body from the beginning, and later he took care of the dragon fetus for me! What he said is the truth!"

"Doctor Tan, tell them now! Stop Youyou from talking!"

Doctor Tan didn't dare to speak.

The other doctors also said in disbelief, "Old Tan, Concubine Shen is not pregnant at all. How did you diagnose her?"

"Yes, Lao Tan, we have been practicing medicine together for so many years, and your medical skills should not be so limited!"

Xiao Ruide shouted, causing the whole place to fall silent. "Tan Chenwei, what is the truth? If what you said is false, I will tear you into pieces!"

After a moment of silence...

Doctor Tan knelt on the ground with his legs together, and said with trembling lips, "Madam, let's just confess..."

Concubine Shen widened her eyes in shock. "Doctor Tan, what are you talking about?"

Doctor Tan said with a trembling voice, "Madam, now that things have come to this, let's just tell the truth... otherwise your life will be in danger..."

"You asked me to fake the fact that you were pregnant..."

Zhenzhu was also shocked. She didn't expect that Doctor Tan would turn against her at the last minute.

"Doctor Tan, what are you talking about? It was you who diagnosed that the queen was pregnant! And you kept lying to her that the baby was safe. It turned out to be you! It was you who framed the queen!"

Doctor Tan explained, "It was Concubine Shen! Concubine Shen found me from the Imperial Hospital and asked me to treat her body. However, after a long period of treatment, she still couldn't get pregnant. So Concubine Shen asked me to fake a pregnancy for her..."

After hearing this, the others all looked disappointed and said that Doctor Tan was confused.

Doctor Tan said fearfully, "I don't want to do this either, but the queen has General Zhao behind her, so I dare not disobey..."

When Zhenzhu saw that Imperial Physician Tan kept accusing Concubine Shen, she pulled out her hairpin and rushed forward to question Imperial Physician Tan.

"You know that the general is behind the queen, how dare you deceive the queen to this extent? I will put an end to you, a two-faced villain, on behalf of the queen and the general!"

As she said that, she took the sharp hairpin and stabbed it towards Doctor Tan's neck!

Xiao Rui saw that something was wrong and the matter had not been investigated thoroughly yet, so Tan Chenwei could not die.

"Summer Lu"

After hearing this, Xia Lu drew out his sword and killed Zhenzhu...

Suddenly, Pearl fell in a pool of blood...

"Pearl!" Concubine Shen screamed heartbreakingly.

Everything that happened today caught Concubine Shen off guard. She couldn't believe what had happened until Zhenzhu died in front of her...

"Xia Lu!! You are taking human life lightly! I will not let you go!!"

Xia Lu frowned and replied, "I'm sorry, Madam, I had no choice but to do this..."

Xiao Rui: "Drag the dead away, and have someone clean up this place. All other irrelevant people should be dispersed!"

"Also, if anyone dares to say a word about what happened today, I will definitely twist his tongue!"

Everyone: “Yes, yes, yes.”

After saying that, they all retreated.

Afterwards, every word Dr. Tan said was brilliant, as if he had memorized the words in advance, and it was impeccable.

As for Concubine Shen, Zhenzhu is also gone, and she can only keep denying, saying that she knew nothing about it.

Doctor Tan continued, "I heard that this medicine is from the Western Regions. I have never seen this medicine in Kyoto. Your Majesty gave it to me and asked me to mix it with the pregnancy-preserving medicine and let her take it."

Doctor Chen also said, "It is indeed a medicine from the Western Regions. It cannot be grown in the Central Plains. I just don't know where Concubine Shen got it from?"

After a series of moves, Concubine Shen was exhausted.

She said weakly, "I didn't do that. It was that villain Tan Chenwei...he framed me!"

At this time, Xia Lu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I remember that General Zhao once went to the Western Regions to fight, and later he seemed to have brought back a lot of spoils..."

In the end, Concubine Shen fainted after hearing this.

When she woke up again, the environment around her had changed drastically.

She didn't know where she was. Everything around her was shabby and she was covered with a leaky quilt. She stood up and found some rotten food on the table.

She yelled "Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

Empty, but no one answered.

She pushed the door open and wanted to go out, but found that the door was locked from the outside. She could only live in fear in this dark little room.

The palace was so huge that she didn't even know where she was imprisoned, and her belly seemed to have become much smaller.

"Tan Chenwei, you are ungrateful. When my father and Prince Anling break into the palace, I will be the first one to not let you go! I will eat your flesh and drink your blood!"

"Cut off your head and hang it on the city wall for three days and three nights! Tan Chenwei! I will never let you go!"

The entire palace was filled with the echoes of Concubine Shen's shouting.
