Chapter 451 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (19)

At this time, Shen Yao had been pregnant for more than two months.

The news was also spread by some people, but the emperor and Shen Yao herself "didn't know".

"Host, they really want to trick you, and they want to trick the Shen family outside the palace as well!"

The system secretly cursed these people for being unethical and hiding behind the scenes to play tricks. Fortunately, it had watched them in advance and prevented the situation from getting out of control.

However, if the host continues to be so leisurely, the emperor will have to take action.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Someone from the Shen family just got promoted, and the emperor even wants to reward your father with military power. Does this look familiar to you?"

system:……

It's more than just familiar. This is clearly a sign before the storm comes. The calmer he appears on the surface, the more ruthless he is underneath. The host is in danger.

Shen Yao raised her eyelids lightly, as if she didn't care at all. "The bigger the storm, the bigger the fish. Those who hide behind the scenes want to replicate the same trick after they succeeded once." But she is not the concubine, and the Shen family is not the Ji family. Using the same method to test? If she doesn't fight back, do you really think she is made of clay?

He called Xiaofu who was waiting not far away, "Go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Sun to come over. He said that I have a poor appetite recently and asked Dr. Sun to help me with the treatment."

Xiaofu understood what he said, replied respectfully, and turned to leave.

"Host, although Doctor Sun is the emperor's personal physician for the imperial concubines, it cannot change the fact that he is a traitor. Isn't it too risky to invite him over?"

It was this person who discovered that the host was pregnant. Not only did he not report it, but he also sent the news out of the palace. There is no need to elaborate on his vicious intentions. He was convicted of the crime of murdering the royal heir and his entire family should be executed by the emperor.

After staying in the harem for a long time, even the system has become more aggressive and wants to fight and kill at any time.

Shen Yao signaled the system not to rush, "He is a traitor, so I will give him a chance. Otherwise, how can I get the evidence?"

Doctor Sun is an old man in the Imperial Medical Bureau and has been diagnosing the pulses of imperial concubines for many years. Even someone like him can be bribed. One can imagine how powerful this force is.

Preventing the birth of an imperial heir is a serious crime, and not only will the entire family be executed, but even all nine generations of the family will be killed.

Shen Yao feels that some things should either be left alone or made into a big deal.

The emperor couldn't help but be suspicious as he hadn't heard the crying of babies in the harem for a long time. However, the previous evidence was not sufficient. Even if the emperor changed people one after another, it was only a temporary solution and the problem would come back again soon.

Over time, even if you are an emperor, it is inevitable that you will develop a mentality of self-abandonment and letting things go.

When Shen Yao was a favorite concubine, she discovered that even though the emperor longed for offspring, he was still prepared to choose an heir. Even the looseness of the court outside and the tightness of the court inside and the suppression of court officials in recent years were just a way to balance the forces of all parties.

After all, the emperor has many brothers, and those who have sons are handfuls. There are many considerations involved in choosing who to choose and who not to choose.

Shen Yao's pregnancy was beyond the emperor's expectations, but it was definitely more important than his adopted nephew.

Because of this, once Shen Yao announced the pregnancy news, not to mention what the princes who already had sons would do, even the forces that supported them would not agree.

"Host, we won't get into trouble, will we?"

The system was worried, mainly because it was afraid of accidents. Although it claimed to be a professional in preserving pregnancy, it would be helpless if someone actually forced the host to drink abortion drugs.

All means must respect objective facts and laws. The system is a robot, not a god.

'They are so confident that they dare not go too far. At most, they will do something secretly or do some small tricks that seem like accidents.

The most important military power of the Yu Kingdom is in the hands of the emperor. If they really deal with the harem and the heirs openly, aren't they afraid that the emperor will go crazy and kill them directly?'

Never underestimate the mental state of the people in the palace. They are all very advanced.

Standing up and walking around the main hall of Furong Palace, Shen Yao called Xiaoji to ask what the emperor was busy with recently.

"My Lord, the Emperor has recently been fond of boating on the lake, and he has asked all the concubines from Jiangnan to accompany him."

Compared with the high-profile concubines who came from official families, the concubines from Jiangnan are more flexible and agile. Who doesn't like to be pampered?

Xiao Ji curled her lips, thinking that the concubines from Jiangnan were too fawning and lacked the dignity of a concubine.

"You are still too young." Why should you be dignified in the harem? You are not the queen. "The most important thing is that the emperor likes you. Otherwise, you will not be able to move forward even if you have money."

Xiao Ji was deeply touched when she heard this. Furong Palace was relatively good. She would not be neglected when she went to the Imperial Kitchen, the Imperial Household Department, the Imperial Clothing Bureau, etc. But what about other palaces? Last time, she saw the Imperial Household Department deliberately withholding the monthly salary.

Looking up and seeing that his master was in a good mood, Xiao Ji quickly changed the subject and talked about the Shen family outside the palace.

"Master, this time the two young masters have each been promoted one rank, and the master has even become a second-rank deputy general. Our Shen family can finally hold our heads high."

It's not easy. The master has been in the position of a third-rank lieutenant general for an unknown period of time. His promotion now is all thanks to the help of his master. He just needs to go out for a while and build a good reputation. When he comes back, he can be promoted to the second rank by the emperor. No wonder the court officials are willing to send women into the palace. It is really a profitable business.

If even a servant like Xiaoji could understand it, then naturally many court officials would understand it as well.

The Shen family is now a family where one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family. Regardless of whether you have the real talent or not, if you want to climb up, you need a backer to help you.

Shen Yao pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that this was the reason why there were so many emotionally abnormal concubines in the harem. They shouldered the glory of the entire family, watching others getting promoted, getting rich, and becoming favorite concubines, while she could only stay where she was. Who wouldn't go crazy in this situation?

"The Shen family has endured a lot of hardships and finally gained happiness. I hope that father and eldest brother can control themselves and be dazzled by the flowers and splendor." Some of the things delivered to your door are poison wrapped in sugar.

The master and servant didn't chat for long. As Xiaofu invited Doctor Sun to come, Shen Yao allowed him to take her pulse and prescribe medicine.

Imperial Physician Sun naturally would not mention Shen Yao's pregnancy pulse, but attributed it all to loss of appetite. There was nothing wrong with the prescription he wrote, but the medicinal materials had to be picked up from the Imperial Hospital, and since they had passed through several hands, there was a big question mark as to whether there would be any problems.

"In that case, Xiaoji, you should go with Doctor Sun and take these herbs back to Hibiscus Palace."

"Yes," Xiaoji responded obediently, turned around and raised his arm to ask Doctor Sun to leave.

Doctor Sun wanted to say more but was interrupted by the master and servant. He could only say a few polite words and leave.

Xiaofu was puzzled, "Master?"

Shen Yao raised her hand and pointed at the corner of her lips, "Follow Xiaoji and the others in a while, take out some of the herbs, and give them to Doctor Lu for inspection along with the prescription.

I have not had a good appetite lately, and I don’t think it’s because of my health.”

Shen Yao unconsciously touched her flat abdomen with one hand, looking distressed.

Seeing this, Xiaofu immediately thought of Doctor Sun as a quack who was seeking fame, and he was not allowed to delay his master's pulse diagnosis.

"Master, rest assured. I will go find Doctor Lu to confirm the situation right away," Xiaofu said, and walked out.

In order to avoid being noticed, Xiaofu also called two palace maids from Furong Palace to go with him. Since the Imperial Medical Bureau and the Imperial Household Department were adjacent to each other, it would be reasonable for them to go to the Imperial Household Department to do business, and then they could find an excuse to sneak away.

Soon, Xiaoji and Xiaofu successfully met in a corner outside the Imperial Hospital.

Xiaofu explained the purpose of coming here, wrapped up a simple portion of herbs with a handkerchief, and took the prescription from Xiaoji, "You go back first, and remember not to tell anyone else about this except the master."

Xiaoji nodded, "Sister Xiaofu, be careful, I will go back and tell the master."

Xiaofu hummed, passed Xiaoji and sneaked into the Imperial Hospital.

Since there was no physical body to go in and look for someone, Xiaofu hired a eunuch to do odd jobs and asked Doctor Lu to go outside.

After a while, Doctor Lu came over and greeted Xiaofu excitedly.

He couldn't help but get excited. He was originally an imperial physician who had received benefits from the Shen family. He wanted to make some extra money while currying favor with the powerful. However, he didn't expect that his powerful physician was being cared for by an old man like Imperial Physician Sun. He couldn't use even a single bit of his skills.

Imperial Physician Lu has been extremely anxious these days, as the Shen family outside the palace continues to send him money, and Concubine Xin in the palace has no connection with him.

Now seeing the maidservant beside Concubine Xin coming over, Doctor Lu's eyes lit up, and he wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly directly into Furong Palace.

"Doctor Lu, I came here this time to ask you to help me check if there is any problem with this prescription and the medicinal materials?"

Xiaofu opened the wrapped handkerchief and prescription and handed them to Doctor Lu one in each hand.

Doctor Lu: ...Hmm?

The next second, Doctor Lu entered the doctor's time, carefully brought the medicinal materials to his nose and smelled them, then carefully observed them against the prescription.

Xiaofu had been paying attention to Doctor Lu's facial expression. When she saw his brows furrowed and his expression becoming increasingly serious, her heart skipped a beat and she became even more certain that Doctor Sun was a suspect of assassination!

"Miss Xiaofu, this prescription is normal. It is very mild and harmless to the body when used to treat poor appetite, but these herbs are a bit special."

Xiaofu hurriedly said, "Please trouble Doctor Lu to solve this problem."

Doctor Lu pointed to one of the herbs and said, “I smell other herbs.

And this Adenophora Root is clearly Salvia miltiorrhiza. "How could I have taken the wrong herb?

Xiaofu remained calm, "If the medicinal materials are wrong, will it affect the efficacy of the prescription?"

Doctor Lu nodded and said, "Danshen is different from Adenophora Root. Salvia miltiorrhiza has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can usually be decocted orally or used externally. It seems very strange to put it here." He questioned the other party's ability in prescribing medicine, which was simply amateurish!

Xiaofu was confused by Doctor Lu's professional explanation, because there is not only Salvia miltiorrhiza here, but also other herbs with the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis!

Although Xiaofu was a girl and didn't understand much, the Shen family took the time to train her and Xiaoji in other knowledge before they entered the palace.

One of the most important ones is the taboos that pregnant women should not touch.

Xiaofu:……? !!!

Wow, the case is solved. This Imperial Doctor Sun was so bold as to murder the royal heir in his master's belly!
