The Empress of Zhen Huan Reborn

After hearing what the Queen said, the Emperor could not say anything in front of everyone in the harem, for fear of offending the Queen. So he waved his hand and asked someone to call over the Imperial Physician Liu Bin.

The Queen gave a look and Jianqiu quickly got up to ask for the Imperial Physician Liu Bin.

Zhen Huan and the others also saw it, and understood it. It seemed that the Queen was dissatisfied with Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang's popularity, and wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Shen Meizhuang.

After a while, Liu Bin came over. When Liu Bin entered the palace and saw so many people, including the emperor, he shrank back a little, but when he saw the empress looking at him meaningfully, he understood and hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects and said, "I am Liu Bin, the Imperial Hospital Doctor. I pay my respects to the emperor and all the empresses and ladies."

The emperor waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "No need to be so polite. Lady Shen is feeling unwell. Go and check her pulse."

Liu Bin agreed when he met her, walked up to Shen Meizhuang and carefully examined his pulse.

In fact, Liu Bin's medical skills were not very advanced, and even this fake pregnancy prescription was written by the Queen Mother, so he only knew superficially that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, and could not see anything else.

After Liu Bin felt the emperor's pulse, he immediately knelt down and said to the emperor, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Lady Shen is more than two months pregnant."

The emperor was very happy when he heard it: "Really?"

The queen also stepped forward with a happy face and asked, "Doctor Liu, is what you said true?"

Liu Bin quickly said, "I would never dare to joke about my offspring."

Shen Meizhuang pretended to be confused, and Zhen Huan pulled Shen Meizhuang's hand with a happy face, "Sister Mei, did you hear that? You are pregnant."

The Queen looked at Shen Meizhuang and said with a smile, "It seems that Concubine Shen is so happy that she is silly."

There hasn't been such a happy event in the palace for a long time. Since the emperor ascended the throne, there have been cases of concubines getting pregnant, but there were always various accidents and the children were never born. Therefore, the emperor attached great importance to Concubine Shen's baby.

"Su Peisheng." the emperor shouted.

Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "Your servant is here."

"Pass on my decree. The noble lady Shen is a woman of great virtue and talent, and has made great contributions to our offspring. From today on, she will be appointed as a concubine and granted the title of Hui. Let the Imperial Observatory choose a good day to hold the enthronement ceremony." The emperor said happily.

After Shen Meizhuang heard this, she immediately knelt down to express her gratitude: "Your Majesty, I thank you. But the child is still young, and I am inconvenienced. I beg Your Majesty to cancel the enthronement ceremony."

When the emperor heard what Shen Meizhuang said, his mind turned. Yes, the harem has always been restless, and Meizhuang really loves her child, so she didn't even want the canonization ceremony, just wanting to rest assured and take care of the baby. Thinking of this, the emperor agreed to Shen Meizhuang's proposal.

"Okay, then we'll do it together after you give birth. Queen, as the Empress, you will have to take care of Huipin's pregnancy." After the Emperor said this, he looked at the Queen meaningfully.

"Yes, I obey your command." The queen pretended not to understand the deeper meaning of the emperor's words. She bowed and agreed to the task of helping Shen Meizhuang to keep her pregnancy safe.

In addition to the Queen, Zhen Huan and others, the other concubines also had their own thoughts. The excitement was gone, and this Concubine Shen, no, now it should be Concubine Hui, was actually pregnant. No matter how many thoughts everyone had in their hearts, in front of the emperor, they still looked very sincere.

"Congratulations to His Majesty, Queen, and Concubine Hui."

At this moment, the emperor suddenly thought of Concubine Hua, and when he looked over, he saw an indescribable sadness on Concubine Hua's face. The emperor knew that she was thinking of the child again, and just as he was about to go over to comfort her, he heard the queen slowly speak.

"Hua Fei, what's wrong with you? Huipin is pregnant, aren't you happy for the emperor and Huipin?"

When Nian Shilan heard the queen's words, she quickly forced a smile on her face, but she couldn't hide her loneliness, and said, "I congratulate the emperor and Huipin."

The emperor was very dissatisfied with the queen's words. He looked at her deeply, then looked at Nian Shilan and said, "I wrongly blamed you today."

Nian Shilan shook her head and said nothing.

The emperor saw that there were too many people, so he asked everyone to disperse and instructed: "Wanpin, you and Su Peisheng will escort Huipin back to the palace together."

Then he said to Shen Meizhuang: "When I have time, I will go to see you."

Shen Meizhuang looked at the emperor with a smile, then went downstairs with Zhen Huan and Su Peisheng.

The Queen saw that the Emperor had something to say to Nian Shilan, so she also stood up and left.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were walking in front, while Su Peisheng followed far behind. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang were considerate of the presence of Eunuch Su and did not say much along the way.

After returning to Xianfu Palace, Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan thanked Eunuch Su, and then they entered Shen Meizhuang's main hall. An Lingrong also hurried over.

When An Lingrong saw Shen Meizhuang, she smiled and congratulated her, "Sister Mei, I just learned that you are pregnant. The emperor has promoted you and bestowed you with a title. Congratulations, sister. I hope this baby will be born safely."

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan looked worried. An Lingrong noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "But what happened?"

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang looked at each other, and Zhen Huan briefly told An Lingrong what had just happened. After An Lingrong heard it, she was also very surprised, "Since entering the palace, Sister Mei has always been dignified and polite, and has never offended anyone. Do you sisters have any suspects?"

Zhen Huan said, "I suspect it was the Queen. When she learned that Sister Mei wanted to summon Imperial Physician Liu, she was very supportive."

When An Lingrong heard Zhen Huan say that she suspected the Queen, she was not too surprised. After all, she had experienced many things since entering the palace, and she could see from them that the Queen was not ordinary. The Queen was far from being as generous and kind as she seemed on the surface.

An Lingrong still reminded Shen Meizhuang worriedly, "Sister Mei, from now on you have to be more careful and pay attention to what you eat."

Zhen Huan also agreed with An Lingrong's words and said with concern: "Why don't we go and investigate it together now? Sister Lingrong is very careful and knows a lot about spices."

An Lingrong quickly agreed with Zhen Huan's suggestion, "Yes, let's go and take a look together."

Shen Meizhuang couldn't persuade them, so they went into the bedroom first. Zhen Huan and An Lingrong checked carefully and found something wrong.

Suddenly, an unusual fragrance was found on several clothes that Shen Meizhuang usually wore. Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang heard what An Lingrong said and hurried over to the clothes. An Lingrong carefully distinguished them for a long time, "These spices are fine when taken out separately, but when added together, people will have symptoms such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and dizziness."

Zhen Huan was not someone who had never given birth. On the contrary, she had experienced pregnancy and childbirth four times in her previous life. When she heard An Lingrong's words, she knew that these were all symptoms of pregnancy. The Queen was afraid that her plan would go wrong, so she deliberately tampered with the clothes to prove that Shen Meizhuang was faking her pregnancy. The Queen was really calculating.

Zhen Huan asked Shen Meizhuang, "Are the maids who take care of your clothes recently still Cha Caiyue and Caixing?"

Shen Meizhuang shook her head. "A while ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs assigned me another maid, Fuling. I saw that she was nimble and efficient, so I allowed her to serve me in the inner chamber."

Zhen Huan and An Lingrong understood that this person might have been sent specially by the Queen Mother.

The three of them searched other places carefully and felt relieved when they found nothing unusual. They returned to the inner bedroom and plotted for a long time.
