The emperor closed his eyes and told Su Peisheng, "Noble Lady Hui is frightened. Go and call the imperial physician."

Shen Meizhuang quickly cooperated: "Eunuch Su, please go and ask Imperial Physician Liu Bin to come over. I wonder if he is on duty today!"

The emperor said in a cold tone, "It doesn't matter if it's not. Go and ask Zhang Mi, the judge of the Imperial Hospital, to come."

Zhang Mi is the emperor's imperial physician, and the emperor trusts him very much.

"Your Majesty, but my pregnancy has always been assisted by Imperial Physician Liu..."

Before Shen Meizhuang could finish, the emperor interrupted her, "It doesn't matter, he's still an imperial physician."

Shen Meizhuang's eyes dimmed instantly, and the cold tone chilled her heart. She had originally thought that the emperor would at least give her some trust, but before things were confirmed, the emperor had already believed in her fake pregnancy.

At this moment, An Lingrong had no time to care about the expressions of the other concubines. Her eyes were fixed on Shen Meizhuang, closely monitoring her facial expressions. After all, Shen Meizhuang was really pregnant, and it would be a waste of all her efforts to anger her.

Zhen Huan, looking at the emperor's indifferent expression, couldn't help but feel disappointed. She had hoped that the emperor would look at this matter fairly, but now it seemed that the emperor had been swayed by lies.

Everyone returned to the palace. The Emperor and Empress sat on the couch, silent and utterly sinister, their bodies emanating a sinister aura. Shen Meizhuang sat at the table, while An Lingrong and Zhen Huan continued to stand beside her. The other concubines stood aside, waiting quietly.

People with deep thoughts can still control their expressions, but people with shallow thoughts like Concubine Qi have a look of gloating on her face.

After a while, Zhang Mi rushed to Xianyue Pavilion, took out a silk handkerchief, put it on Shen Meizhuang's wrist and began to take her pulse.

After a moment, she knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress, the young lady is indeed pregnant, less than two months, but she had a fit today, and the fetus is a little unstable."

"How is this possible!" Hua Fei said subconsciously.

The anger on the emperor's face had been washed away by surprise, and he looked at Concubine Hua after hearing this.

Concubine Hua realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends: "Then, what's with the bloody clothes? Doctor Zhang, please take a closer look!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor also became suspicious and said, "Examine again."

Zhang Mi examined her again, taking longer than the last time. However, knowing that this matter might not be simple, he left some wiggle room. "In your humble opinion, the young lady is indeed pregnant, but I am not an expert in obstetrics and gynecology. To be cautious, please ask Imperial Physician Jiang Cheng to review it together!"

"Go and invite!"

Shen Meizhuang felt even more disappointed. She thought what Rong'er said was an exaggeration, but she didn't expect that the emperor was even more heartless than she said.

A moment later, Jiang Cheng hurried into the hall to take the patient's pulse, with an incredible look on his face, and examined the patient again.

The emperor was already a little impatient, "What's going on?"

Jiang Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and knelt down with trembling legs. "Your Majesty, the young lady is indeed pregnant."

This statement confirmed that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant.

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Concubine Hua and Noble Lady Cao's expressions instantly turned ugly, especially Concubine Hua, who widened her eyes with disbelief. This Imperial Physician Jiang was their man and he would definitely not lie. So Shen Meiyu was really pregnant!

She turned her head to look at Shen Meizhuang. Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong were also looking at her with pride and provocation in their eyes. Shen Meizhuang even put her hand directly on her belly.

They already knew the plan and had figured out a way to break the impasse long ago. Now the look in their eyes is a provocation!

Looking at Hua Fei's broken eyes, An Lingrong felt proud in her heart, I just like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me.

Concubine Hua was filled with anger and was held tightly by Cao Qinmo. The matter had been exposed, and it all depended on who the emperor would believe!

The emperor couldn't hide his smile, and he felt a little guilty about his attitude just now. "Come here, Fuling has framed Concubine Hui. Send her to the Ministry of Punishment."

Shen Meizhuang stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, I apologize. Two months ago, I was desperate to have a child and asked Imperial Physician Jiang for a fertility-enhancing prescription. However, I later felt it was inappropriate and discarded it. Caiyue, please bring the prescription to Your Majesty."

Caiyue hurried away and replied after a moment, "My lady, the recipe is gone!"

"It's gone! How could it be gone?" Zhen Huan pretended to be surprised. "Luckily, my sister copied the recipe for me. Jinxi, go get it."

At this time, Jiang Cheng on the ground was shaking like a sieve.

At this time, Su Peisheng walked into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the residence of Imperial Physician Liu is empty. I have sent people to search everywhere."

After a while, Jin Xi brought the prescription and handed it to Zhen Huan, who then handed it to the emperor. The emperor motioned Zhang Mi to take a look.

After looking at it for a moment, Zhang Mi said, "This recipe can delay menstruation, but it can also cause nausea and vomiting."

Shen Meizhuang smiled, "Doctor Jiang, what do you say? If you don't recognize it, you can compare the handwriting."

"Your humble servant, your humble servant is not well-trained..." After thinking over and over again, he could only come up with such a lame excuse.

There was no way out. The lives of his entire family were in Concubine Hua's hands. How could he dare to say anything more? He could only kowtow repeatedly.

After a little thought, the emperor guessed the cause and effect of the whole incident. He did not expect that Concubine Hui, whom he had cultivated, could give him such a surprise. Not only did she see through Concubine Hua's plan, but she could also quickly come up with a countermeasure.

He turned to look at Concubine Hua, his eyes were vague, and he quickly moved the jade beads in his hand.

This glance made Concubine Hua pale and cold all over.

An Lingrong watched the emperor's every move.

The hall became strangely quiet, with only the crisp sound of bracelet beads colliding.
