I swept the harem by pretending to be weak

While Liu Zhirou was feeling restless in the Empress Dowager's palace, Concubine Chen, whom she was concerned about, was also in trouble.

To be honest, Concubine Chen's fate can be said to be the best in the entire harem. Although she does not have a good family background, her value has increased a lot just because she once served the empress dowager.

Our dynasty has always ruled the world with filial piety. Even the emperor attaches great importance to the etiquette of filial piety and has almost never disobeyed the empress dowager's many requests.

As the empress dowager's maid, although Chen Fei was also a palace maid, she was one level higher than other palace maids serving in the palace in terms of etiquette. She was also very likable, and the empress dowager valued her very much, so she gave her to the emperor who had no children as a concubine.

The Empress Dowager was willing to support her, the Emperor was willing to favor her, and Concubine Chen herself was also hardworking. Her path to promotion in the palace was unstoppable. She then gave birth to the Second Princess, the only child of the Emperor so far whose mental and physical condition was normal.

The second princess was only three or four years old, but she was already very smart. She was like a small glutinous rice ball, calling her father the emperor and mother the queen in a baby voice. Everyone who saw her would praise her for being adorable.

But it is obvious that Chen Fei does not intend to stop here, she has even greater ambitions.

It's good to have ambition, but I'm afraid she only has ambition but not the strength to match it. What's more frightening is that Chen Fei was dazzled by the beautiful vision in front of her, and forgot the potential dangers and the caution she had once had, and acted recklessly until she caused irreversible consequences, and then she panicked, but couldn't find any good solution.

"Why? Why is it so fast..." Chen Fei held her bulging belly with a painful look on her face, her delicate face full of panic.

She had clearly taken the medicine strictly according to the secret recipe, so why did it cause such a serious consequence? Chen Fei was not an inexperienced girl. Having given birth once before, she naturally knew what a normal birth process was like. The current situation was not normal at all.

"Your Majesty, you can't worry about so many things. The baby in your belly must be taken care of quickly!" At this time, an exhausted imperial physician rushed directly into the palace. The people in charge of serving were not surprised, but tacitly made way for him.

The imperial physician looked to be in his 30s, with a short beard. He looked a little tired, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he had been working for a long time.

"But, but the master told me that this baby must be a son. If I can give birth to a prince..." Chen Fei was unwilling to listen to his request and still begged him. Chen Fei did not look like a mother who loved her child very much, but she was determined to keep the child.

"Stop joking, this is not a prince at all, Mei Niang, if you insist on giving birth to this child, you will die!" Doctor Ye was very excited. As Concubine Chen's attending physician and the person most trusted by Concubine Chen, he knew Concubine Chen's physical condition best.

Concubine Chen was not as sickly as Concubine Xian. On the contrary, she was very healthy.

However, since she became pregnant with this child, Chen Fei's health has deteriorated drastically, and she has even fainted several times.

At the beginning, Doctor Ye didn't know the truth, so he was very serious about helping Concubine Chen keep the child. After all, for the concubines in the palace, children were their hope for the future. Whether for Concubine Chen's future or for Concubine Chen's present, he should help Concubine Chen keep the child.

It was not until one strange pulse diagnosis after another and Chen Fei's repeated hesitation to speak that he discovered a very horrifying fact: Chen Fei's child was not conceived according to normal procedures!

No one knew what a child conceived in this special way would look like, or whether it was normal. After Doctor Ye found out, he tried to tamper with Concubine Chen's medicine to get rid of the child.

Rather than giving birth to a deformed child that is likely to have problems, it is better not to give birth. After getting rid of this child, Chen Fei can recuperate for another two years and then get pregnant again.

However, if a deformed child is really born, the emperor will have a grudge in his heart and will most likely not let Concubine Chen get pregnant again. Then Concubine Chen's favor will gradually disappear. It will not be enough for her to enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of her life by just guarding a princess.

This was not a particularly difficult thing for him. Although Concubine Chen appeared to be carefree, she was actually a very suspicious person. She would never let an imperial physician whom she was not familiar with diagnose her.

As long as Doctor Ye was a little more careful and used a smaller amount of medicine each time, no one would have noticed anything wrong. Concubine Chen herself would have thought that she had lost energy and her physical condition had deteriorated after she became pregnant, which led to the miscarriage.

But something even more horrifying happened. No matter how he used the medicine or how he influenced the body, in the end the only one that was affected was Chen Fei's own body. The fetus in her belly was still as stable as a rock.

Doctor Ye even considered giving Concubine Chen abortion pills, but it was of no use and only caused Concubine Chen to suffer a lot. After encountering this situation, Doctor Ye had no choice but to be cautious.

"You can help me, right? Brother Ye, please help me! I can't live without this child!" Chen Fei didn't know the truth. She didn't even know what her physical condition was like, so she still held on to a glimmer of hope and begged Doctor Ye to save her child.

Doctor Ye remained silent.
