Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine

The emperor took his men to the imperial concubine's palace and saw several imperial doctors coming out of the hall. They just stood there waiting for them to come over.

Gu De'an stepped forward to ask with a tactful look, but before he could open his mouth, several imperial doctors bowed and congratulated the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Imperial Concubine is almost two months pregnant, and the baby is very healthy!" Several imperial doctors had happy looks on their faces. You know, in the past, they would receive rewards for such happy events, so several of them rushed to congratulate the emperor.

But after they finished speaking, the emperor's expression became very calm, without any joy on his face. Several imperial doctors gradually restrained their expressions and dared not speak anymore.

The emperor had no children, and the concubines he took into the palace over the years were all necessary, except for those at the beginning.

Those who entered the palace later were all good at giving birth, and the empress dowager also spent a lot of thought on this matter.

The purpose was to let the emperor have an heir, but no concubine had been able to get pregnant in these years, and they, the imperial doctors, had been scolded many times by the empress dowager.

But what can they do? Didn't the late emperor have only one heir?

They felt miserable but could not express it, so they could only try their best to help the emperor recuperate, but there was nothing wrong with the emperor's health at all.

There was nothing wrong with the concubines in the harem, but they just couldn't get pregnant.

Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant, they don’t have to be forced to research various methods of having children for the emperor every day.

Gu Dean saw from afar a group of people coming towards the imperial concubine's palace. They were the imperial physicians that his apprentice had just asked to invite.

Gu Dean breathed a sigh of relief because the emperor was acting very abnormally today. In the past, the emperor would definitely not be so calm, but today, he didn't know what was going on.

There are too many things happening today. If what those palace maids just reported is true, then the harem will be bustling.

Seeing that the imperial physician had arrived, Gu Dean hurried forward to ask.

"Which ladies did you just check their pulses for? What were their situations?"

One of the young doctors came out to report, "I just called Concubine Gu to check her pulse. Concubine Gu is already two months pregnant!"

"I am here to check the pulse of Madam Shufei. She is almost two months pregnant."

The imperial physicians who followed also came back to report that the concubines had been pregnant for about the same period of time, almost two months.

Gu De'an thought back to that period of time, which happened to be the days when the emperor came back from Zhuangzi. It was like taking medicine during that period, and he couldn't stop taking it every day.

The emperor did favor many concubines during those days, but it was a frightening thing that so many ladies in the palace were pregnant at once.

When the emperor heard the reports from the imperial physicians, from the first to the last, there was still no expression on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Gu De'an, make arrangements and have the imperial physician take good care of these pregnant concubines. I have something else to do and will come back to see the imperial concubine in a few days."

After the emperor finished speaking, he walked back. The many doctors who had just arrived no longer had happy expressions on their faces and could only look at them cautiously.

With so many concubines pregnant, is the emperor happy or unhappy?

More than a dozen people became pregnant at once. This had never happened in the previous dynasty, but it did happen. Moreover, they cross-diagnosed their pulses and found that they were indeed slippery.

But they could not guess what the emperor was thinking, so they just carried out his orders.

In the harem, no concubine was waiting for the emperor. They were just looking forward to it. The emperor was going to visit Concubine Zhan, but he didn't go either. The concubines had no idea what the emperor was thinking and didn't dare to send anyone to invite her.

It’s just that every pregnant concubine was very happy. There were only more than 40 concubines in the harem, and people were very jealous of those who were not pregnant, but they also went to invite the imperial physician.

It was a very busy day in the capital. First, Duke Fuguo was dismissed from his post and investigated. Everyone was speculating that it was because of the incident that happened some time ago.

Before half a day had passed, a lot of news came out that many people in the palace were pregnant, including the queen. Many people were guessing what the emperor would do.

However, only a few people knew about the pregnancy of the palace maids and concubines, because the emperor did not give any rewards to these pregnant concubines. They could not guess the emperor's thoughts, so they did not dare to discuss it openly.

As for Xuanhe, she already knew what happened in the palace.

Things at Shanglin Temple have been arranged, and thanks to the system, she doesn't have to go there in person.

But before the Lady of the Imperial Palace could do anything, the Emperor's move was much faster than theirs.

The letter the emperor received was sent by Xuanhe.

If she wants to protect the Gu family now, she can only eliminate the dangers that threaten the Gu family first, and the Duke of Fuguo is one of them.

Half a month ago, the Duke of Fuguo arranged for someone to approach the study of the Prince of Loyalty and Righteousness.

During these two months, Marquis Zhongyi, Princess Zhaohe, and other people in the mansion were very kind to Xuanhe.

If you want to attack them, you must endure her revenge.

When it comes to revenge, one must strike first. He made some slight changes to the things prepared by the Duke of Fuguo and then gave them to the emperor.

What surprised Xuanhe was that this Duke of Fuguo actually had the intention of rebellion.

From the evidence she found, he was in a secret place in the capital.

All kinds of weapons are hidden inside. The emperor should be on his way to this secret place with his men now.

What Xuanhe had to do was to kill the Duke of Fuguo and not give him another chance to jump around.

If the Duke of Fuguo is dealt with, the Queen will naturally have nothing to fear.

Because the queen had no children in her previous life, many concubines dared to act arrogantly in front of her, but she didn't even dare to fight back. Xuanhe didn't understand what she was thinking.

In her previous life, the Duke of Fuguo had always been in the limelight, and she didn't need such great help and such a powerful backer, so in this life she directly pushed it to the Queen.

Without the help of the Duke of Fuguo, the Queen's life will be even more difficult in the future.

The emperor brought his men and followed the instructions in the letter to the secret place.

This place is only a few hundred miles away from the capital. When the emperor and his men saw the weapons inside, their faces turned as black as ink.

These weapons were so well-made that even the weapons in the army could not compare to them. There were all kinds of weapons such as knives, forks, swords, and halberds. After counting, the number of weapons was actually hundreds of thousands.

You know, starting from the Immortal Emperor, the control over iron mines has been strengthened, and all iron mines are controlled by the emperor. Where do so many iron mines come from to make so many weapons?

Before coming here, the emperor was skeptical. He was still somewhat confident in his own control, but when he saw the weapons in front of him, he felt panic for the first time.

What followed was endless anger. How could this Duke Fuguo be so bold as to embezzle weapons?

But now that he has found out, all these weapons belong to him.

However, he still needed to find out where the weapons were forged by the Fuguo Company, and especially where the iron ore came from.

The next day, Duke Fuguo was thrown directly into prison.

The reason was that he privately stored weapons and intended to rebel.

This incident caused the entire capital city to boil.

The emperor had solid evidence in his hands, so he ordered the people from the Dali Temple to take the Duke away without even interrogating him.

Yesterday, the Duke of Fuguo returned home. Although he was panicked because of the dismissal and investigation, he did not think that the matter was a big deal.

He stayed in the study all night, arranging various things.

Because he is the queen's father, for the queen's sake, he will definitely be reinstated after a while.

And throughout the night, he delivered letters to many officials.

Many officials in the court were his father's students. Over the years, the Duke of Fuguo has always had a very close relationship with these people.

Although many people have opinions about him because of the incident with Old Lady Zhang, this incident happened many years ago. In fact, it was just a matter of a sentence. Now the evidence has disappeared and they can't find anything.

As long as there are officials who stand up and speak for him, he will be fine.

Especially last night, he received news from the Queen's side that the Queen was pregnant!

This was a huge happy event for the Duke of Fuguo. The first thing was that the Queen would ensure that he would be fine for the sake of his offspring. The second thing was that what she had always wanted to do could finally be implemented.

At that time, as long as the emperor died suddenly and the young emperor ascended the throne, the world would be his. He had been planning this for many years.

He had been planning for so many years and finally waited for this moment.

He was so excited that he couldn't sleep the whole night, as if the place was right in front of him and he could reach it with his hand.

But before he could hear the emperor's decree reinstating him, he was arrested by people from the Dali Temple.

"What are you doing? You are so audacious! I am the Queen's father!"

The Duke of Fuguo was carried out from behind the desk by several people. He was furious and glared at the people who were carrying him.

"Let me go now. If you have anything to say, why don't you just talk it out calmly? This is disgraceful!"

Looking at the Dali Temple Minister standing in front of him, the Duke of Fuguo was about to speak when he was interrupted by him.

"The traitor Zhang Yu'an has secretly stored weapons and is plotting a rebellion. By order of the Emperor, he is now being taken to prison and will be executed tomorrow!"

The Dali Temple Minister's voice was very loud, and the servants who didn't know what was going on immediately became panicked when they heard his words.

The wife of the Duke of Fuguo, who heard the news, also rushed over. As soon as she heard these words, she fainted on the ground.

"I am innocent, Your Majesty. You can always find a pretext to accuse me. What evidence do you have to prove that I am treasonous? I want to see Your Majesty!"

The Duke of Fuguo screamed with an expression of injustice on his face, and his hair and clothes became a mess as he struggled.

But his heart was very uneasy at this moment, because he really did what he had just heard in the Dali Temple!

But he obviously did it so secretly, and he was not involved in those things. From beginning to end, he had no direct contact with these people.

How did the emperor find out about this?

"The emperor will not see you. The Minister of War Zhong Xiumin has already confessed. What you did is set in stone. Even if you go to see the emperor, the result will not change." After saying this, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple waved to his subordinates and asked them to take him away.

When Zhang Yu'an heard the name Zhong Xiumin, his struggling hands suddenly lost all their strength.

At this time he felt scared. He never thought that this matter would be exposed so soon.

"I want to see the emperor, please spare my life!"

He fell to the ground and allowed the guards to take him away.

Zhong Xiumin was a person who had nothing against him in the court. This was on the surface, but privately, he even sent Zhong Xiumin's son to jail a few months ago.

Some time ago, Zhang An and Zhong Xiumin's son committed a crime, but everything was instigated by Zhong Xiumin's son. Zhang An was only locked up at home without any consequences, while Zhong Xiumin's son died directly in prison.

It was Zhang Yu'an who cleared Zhang from the case, but both of them were involved in the things he did.

He discussed this matter with Zhong Xiumin. His son was a concubine and Zhong Xiumin had long lost hope in him.

There are many children in the family, and losing a bastard son does not have much impact on Zhong Xiumin.

And Zhang An is his only legitimate son.

No one knew that Zhong Xiumin was actually Zhang Yu'an's man, and the two had been hooking up together more than ten years ago.

It was he who pushed Nian Zhongxiumin to become the Minister of War.

Over the years, if we want to know where the money for those weapons came from, apart from being plundered from various places, the money was also deducted from the military supplies.

He had concealed his relationship with Zhong Xiumin very well, but when he heard Zhong Xiumin confess, he knew that he was completely finished.

When Lady Fuguo woke up, no, when Zhang woke up, a day had already passed.

Yesterday, the residence of the Duke of Fuguo was directly ransacked, and now they are locked up in a cell and sentenced to exile.

All the servants in the mansion were sold out, and they did not bring anything out of the mansion. There should be no one in the Zhang family who can take charge now.

Zhang An was still shouting and screaming at the cell door, but the yamen runners came over and whipped him a few times.

Zhang now couldn't believe what she had experienced. Her plan had clearly not been implemented yet. During this period, Zhang already had evidence that the Duke of Fuguo had killed his daughter. She planned to poison him to death directly, but she had not had time to do it.

The building collapsed.

Inside the palace, Empress Zhang has been in a daze these past few days. The Duke of Fuguo's mansion was confiscated and he was exiled three thousand miles away. His descendants will never be allowed to enter the capital again!

Zhang Yu'an was beheaded directly. She couldn't even send anyone out to check, and was directly confined to Kunning Palace by the emperor.

She couldn't believe that these things would happen to her. Her father must have been wronged. She wanted to plead for her father, but there were many people guarding the palace gate. Even the palace servants were replaced by a new group of people who were not used to it.

Yesterday, when she woke up, people around her told her that she was pregnant. She wanted to know the emperor's expression when he knew about it.

But the nanny told her that the emperor only stayed for a short while!

"how is this possible?"
