Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

The door of Fengqi Palace was closed for an hour. Just when Xiaocui and the others were about to rush in, it finally opened.

Xiao Cui and others anxiously surrounded Doctor Lu, only to see Doctor Lu shaking his head. The others' faces instantly became solemn, and they rushed into the room in disbelief, staring at Bai Qingning, who lay pale on the bed.

"Just now, I have asked the Queen about the reason in the room. I will report everything truthfully. As for the specific situation and reasons, you can explain it to the Emperor yourself when the time comes."

After Doctor Lu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left with the medicine boy, leaving several palace maids standing there in a daze.

"Ruined!"

......

On Xiao Zuochen's side, the medicine boy took advantage of the fact that no one was around and entered the Buddhist hall to present the hand-painted secret passage map to King Yun. Qingya took it and placed it next to Xiao Zuochen.

Xiao Zuochen glanced at the scroll at hand and began to give instructions.

"Leave the palace tonight and go find Xiao Ba."

"Yes!"

......

On the second night, Xiao Zuoming, who was originally going to leave the palace for a "secret visit", had to rush back to the palace because he received the news that Bai Qingning had a miscarriage. At this time, he was sitting in the South Study, holding his forehead with one hand, with a vicissitudes of life on his face.

"How could this happen?"

Xiao Zuoming really couldn't understand it. He claimed to be sick and didn't go to court, so outsiders should not know that he was planning to go on a secret visit. But who would attack Bai Qingning when he was sick?

"I don't know either. Doctor Lu came to report yesterday. It seems that..."

Mu Dai seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"And what!?"

When Xiao Zuoming heard there was a clue, he instantly perked up and looked up at Mu Dai, expecting him to say something. But when he saw Mu Dai hesitating, he got angry again.

"Just tell me now! Are you trying to deceive me?"

When Mu Dai heard the word "deceiving the king", his heart trembled.

"Oh~ My emperor, I dare not lie to you~ It was Doctor Lu who said that the miscarriage seemed to be related to Xiao Cui..."

It's not that Mu Dai doesn't dare to say it, but Xiao Cui is the palace maid who seduced Xiao Zuoming in Fengqi Palace a month ago. Although they didn't have a passionate affair at that time, there was a month in between, so there was always a chance.

When Xiao Zuoming heard Xiao Cui's name, he leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

One is a new love, the other is an old love. Although miscarriage is not a trivial matter, it is really unnecessary to severely punish your new love for an unnecessary evil seed. But if this matter is suppressed, I am afraid Bai Qingning will also be in an uproar.

Mu Dai saw the emperor's dilemma and walked up to him with a flattering look on his face and said.

"This matter has not been concluded yet, Your Majesty, don't worry. Why not bring Xiao Cui and others here for interrogation? If it is really related to Xiao Cui, you can find a scapegoat to end the matter. But if it has nothing to do with her, and it was done by someone else, then wouldn't everyone be happy~"

It must be said that Mu Dai understood Xiao Zuoming, and Xiao Zuoming also felt that Mu Dai's words made sense and that he was overly worried. So he ordered people to bring Xiao Cui and others in for interrogation, and sent people to the Imperial Hospital to find Doctor Lu to write a confession.

Mu Dai also saw that the emperor really liked Xiao Cui. Although this love might not last long, at least he was sincere at this time.

But Xiao Cui didn't know what the emperor did for her. She only knew what she saw and heard. For example, the emperor sent guards to take her to the southern study for interrogation, which made her feel uneasy. When she arrived at the study, she only wanted to kowtow and beg for mercy. No matter what Xiao Zuoming asked her, she just kept saying that she was wronged, until Xiao Zuoming was disgusted by her.

"Drag him away and kill him!"

Mu Dai was stunned. How could he be killed just like that?

Xiao Cui on the ground was stunned for a second before she started howling. Xiao Zuoming waved his hand, signaling the guards to drag the person away quickly. The noise gave him a headache.

Just as the two guards were dragging Xiao Cui out of the house, Xiao Cui suddenly shouted.

"I'm pregnant with a dragon! Your Majesty! I'm pregnant!"

"Wait!"

Sure enough, Xiao Cui's words successfully saved her life temporarily.

"Are you pregnant?"

Xiao Zuoming obviously didn't believe it. Although he couldn't experience a woman's pregnancy, he had seen it before. He had only been in bed with Xiao Cui for twenty days, how could she have a reaction?

But Xiao Cui nodded firmly, and Xiao Zuoming was unable to grasp it for a moment.

"Someone, call Dr. Lu!"

Xiao Cui was shocked. She knew that it was Doctor Lu who complained to the emperor. She didn't expect that the emperor would ask Doctor Lu to check her pulse. She was just gambling when she said she was pregnant. It had only been 20 days, and she didn't know if she was pregnant or not. But in order to save her life, she could only say so.

But if it was Imperial Doctor Lu who took my pulse, based on his attitude towards me yesterday, I was afraid that even though I was clearly pregnant, he would say I was not.

"emperor..."

Just when Xiao Cui wanted to beg for mercy from the emperor again, Doctor Lu had already arrived.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

"Stand up~ Doctor Lu, come and see if she is pregnant."

When Doctor Lu came in, he saw Xiao Cui. Judging from her expression, he was afraid that she had committed a crime. However, the fact that she was interrogated by the emperor himself showed that she had a special relationship with the emperor.

"Yes."

Doctor Lu motioned Xiao Cui to stretch out her hand, and Xiao Cui had no choice but to stretch out her hand under Xiao Zuoming's gaze. Doctor Lu placed his hand on Xiao Cui's pulse and closed his eyes to check carefully.

"How about it?"

Xiao Zuoming asked. Xiao Cui also looked at Doctor Lu nervously. After a while, Doctor Lu stopped and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, she is indeed pregnant."

After hearing these words, Xiao Cui finally let go of her worries and her chest gradually calmed down. When Xiao Zuoming heard what Doctor Lu said, he stared at Xiao Cui with an expression that made it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. It took him a long time before he spoke.

"Mu Dai, send someone to prepare a quiet courtyard for Concubine Cui."

"Yes~"

Mu Dai received the order and immediately went to execute it.

Xiao Cui, no, it was Concubine Cui, who was also surprised when she heard this. The emperor not only gave her a position, but also directly conferred a title on her, although she did not like this title.

"Thank you, Your Majesty~"

Concubine Cui bowed and thanked the emperor. Just when she thought she had escaped the disaster and everything was fine, Doctor Lu suddenly made a suggestion to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Cui is still in early pregnancy and the fetal position is unstable. I would like to make a pregnancy-maintaining soup and send it to Concubine Cui's bedroom every day."

"Well, Imperial Doctor Lu, just take care of the arrangements. I trust you the most."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness~"

After the emperor gave clear instructions, he let them leave.

After Concubine Cui walked out of the study courtyard, she bowed to Imperial Physician Lu.

"I was ignorant before and offended Imperial Doctor Lu. I hope Imperial Doctor Lu will not bear it. I apologize to Imperial Doctor Lu here. I also hope that Imperial Doctor Lu can help me to take care of the pregnancy and give birth to the dragon fetus smoothly."

Doctor Lu waved his hand, looked around and saw that there was no one else around, then said something that shocked her.

"Nothing, it's a dragon fetus, so it's easy to raise."

After Imperial Doctor Lu finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Concubine Cui standing there in confusion.
