Liu Zhirou successfully saw Chen Fei's pregnancy through Dandan's eyes.

When Concubine Chen was pregnant, she did look very scary, and even her whole figure was out of shape. Originally, Concubine Chen's beauty was not the best in the entire palace, but at least she was in the top ten. However, since she became pregnant, her image has never regained its former glory.

Liu Zhirou could understand this point. After all, pregnancy is a very difficult thing for a woman, and Chen Fei is not a lazy person like Liu Zhirou who would lie at will.

But Chen Fei's changes were indeed too shocking. Her belly was so big that it was almost as big as half of her body, and the blood vessels on her belly were even transparent.

If it was a normal time, Liu Zhirou would at most think that Concubine Chen was pregnant with twins, which was why it seemed so serious. But in this case, it was obviously abnormal, not to mention that the maids and eunuchs serving in Lianmeng Palace didn't even think it was surprising.

Liu Zhirou had a good memory. She remembered that she had controlled the ghost to go to Lianmeng Palace to inquire about the news several times, but she had never heard them have any particularly different opinions about Chen Fei's pregnancy.

Moreover, Liu Zhirou also found that the medicine that Concubine Chen took was also very interesting. In addition to the relatively common and normal pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the Imperial Hospital, she was also drinking a kind of medicine specially sent from the Empress Dowager's palace.

However, Liu Zhirou was sure that since she was sent to the Cining Palace, she had never found that the Queen Mother sent anyone to deliver this kind of medicine to Concubine Chen. So where did Concubine Chen's medicine come from and what kind of effect did it have? It was very intriguing.

Moreover, Chen Fei's attitude towards this child is quite contradictory. She seems to care about this child very much, but at the same time she is afraid of this child. This child is very important to her, and she has to give birth to it, but she is afraid that giving birth to this child will cause her some irreversible impact.

Liu Zhirou had no intention of continuing to watch the interaction between Dandan and Chen Fei. She sped up and played Dandan's memory to the most critical day.

Waking up early that day was no different from any other day. Concubine Chen lay on her side on the bed, groaning that her stomach ached. The palace maids serving around her naturally hurried to ask for Doctor Ye.

This scene has happened more than once in Lianmeng Palace. Liu Zhirou has heard of Doctor Ye to some extent. He is an outlier in the Imperial Hospital and basically only treats Concubine Chen.

The other concubines did not trust him, and the emperor - the emperor had so many imperial doctors serving him, so naturally this one did not matter, so he could almost be said to be Concubine Chen's personal doctor. The other imperial doctors would not get too close to him, nor would they be particularly hostile to him.

He looked very tired. After rushing over, he took Chen Fei's pulse. Then the two of them had a certain dispute, yes, a dispute.

Doctor Ye advised Concubine Chen not to try to keep the child, but Concubine Chen was unwilling to listen and instead begged Doctor Ye to help her save the fetus.

This made Liu Zhirou feel extremely surprised. According to the palace rules, the emperor's concubines were not qualified to decide whether to keep or abandon the child after they became pregnant. Even if the emperor's concubines had a difficult delivery, they would usually only save the younger one instead of the older one. Doctor Ye actually dared to tell Concubine Chen that she wanted to have an abortion in the palace. This was simply treason. If a word of what they said in Lianmeng Palace reached the emperor's ears, Concubine Chen might still be able to rely on the emperor's favor and be safe, but Doctor Ye would definitely suffer.

So is Doctor Ye in a normal state now? What made him risk the death of his entire family to give Concubine Chen such an opinion?

Liu Zhirou was not very clear about this. If she was facing an ordinary person, she could say mercilessly that he must have been affected by abnormal factors. However, Doctor Ye was not an ordinary person. A normal-minded doctor would not show it on his face even if he really defected to a concubine.

Imperial physicians are not eunuchs, they are normal men with normal male needs. If they blatantly get close to concubines, one day they might be taken out and chopped off by the suspicious emperor.

Liu Zhirou had tried her best to observe Doctor Ye's behavior, but she was not familiar with Doctor Ye before that. Moreover, Doctor Ye's background was quite problematic. He was an orphan whose entire family had died out. It could be said that if one person was well fed, the whole family would not be hungry.

It is precisely because of this that the threat of killing the entire family seems insignificant to him, but even so, ordinary people do not have the courage to do such a thing under the imperial power.

But thinking that the entire palace had been in a state of chaos since these supernatural factors spread, Liu Zhirou was not surprised.

After all, human beings are very adaptable creatures. No matter how big the threat or how great the impact, people will get used to it after adapting for a period of time. Not to mention others, isn't she brave enough?

However, Liu Zhirou felt that Doctor Ye's actions should have been influenced by certain supernatural factors. Otherwise, even if he was really crazy, he should not do such a contradictory thing. He wanted to kill the child in Concubine Chen's belly because he wanted to protect Concubine Chen, but then he suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed into Concubine Chen's belly, which clearly showed that he wanted to kill both Concubine Chen and her child.

Liu Zhirou focused Dandan's memory on the part where Doctor Ye drew his sword and stabbed Concubine Chen. She watched it over and over again slowly, bit by bit, trying to find more information from it.

In fact, at this time, Dandan was quite far away from Concubine Chen and Doctor Ye. There was another maid serving beside Concubine Chen. But perhaps it was because of this that Dandan was able to escape.

Although not long after escaping from the palace, she lost her life at the hands of soldiers.
