Hua Fei sneered and said nothing more.

When everyone saw that Zhen Huan was pregnant, they all came to congratulate her, but only Shen Meimei asked the imperial physician with great concern: "Now that Concubine Wan is pregnant, what should we do with the scar on her face?"

Doctor Wen was also a little embarrassed. If Concubine Wan was not pregnant, then these wounds would be easy to treat, but now...

All medicines are poisonous. Many prescriptions cannot be used by pregnant women.

Doctor Wen deliberated again and again and said, "Noble Lady Wan is pregnant now. The dragon fetus is the most important thing. I can only carefully prescribe some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine for you. However, I am afraid it may leave scars."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the concubines all changed greatly.

Hua Fei laughed triumphantly, "They say misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. Even if I give birth to a dragon fetus, what will I do if my appearance is ruined and the Emperor dislikes me?"

This remark struck a chord with Concubine Qi. She muttered, "Even if nothing happened today, who can guarantee eternal youth? As a mother, my priority is naturally my children."

Seeing that another quarrel was about to break out, Yixiu stood up and said solemnly, "Alright, everyone, shut up. What's the point of making such a fuss? Concubine Wan's dragon fetus is more important, so we must protect it first. However, Doctor Wen, you must also do your best to preserve Concubine Wan's appearance."

Zhen Huan was a new mother, and she was both nervous and excited as she gently stroked her belly, feeling the little life in it.

At this moment, the excitement of becoming a new mother overcame her concern for her appearance.

Zhen Huan chuckled and said, "Doctor Wen, just focus on the child. Even if there's a scar, it's fine."

Zhen Huan does not love the emperor. She sought the emperor's favor just to have a foothold in the harem.

If she had a child in the future, she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life, and the emperor's favor would be better than nothing.

"Drag that audacious slave in here!"

Yixiu knew that this person was ordered by Concubine Hua, but Concubine Hua could not move for the time being. However, she had to suppress Concubine Hua's arrogance and let Concubine Hua know that she could not cover up everything in the palace.

When the palace maid was brought in and saw this scene, her face turned pale with fear. She had never imagined that Concubine Wan was pregnant with the dragon heir!

I originally thought that I would just get a beating at most, but in exchange I received so many generous rewards from Concubine Hua, so it wasn't a loss at all.

But now Concubine Wan is pregnant with the dragon heir. Harming the dragon heir would be a disaster that would lead to the confiscation of property and the extermination of the clan.

She kowtowed like crazy, refusing to admit anything, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never pushed Concubine Wan."

She looked at Liu Zhu with tears in her eyes again, "Sister, please say something! I have no grudge against you, how could you hurt me like this? Although I was standing next to the noble lady at that time, the noble lady Wan was the master. How dare I lay hands on the master? You can't push me out just because you are afraid of being punished for not serving the master well enough!"

Liu Zhu glared at the palace maid angrily, "You're lying. It was clearly you who pushed the young lady, and now you refuse to admit it."

Now that both sides were holding their own opinions, Yixiu could only say, "Are you sure you didn't push Concubine Wan? Even if you didn't push her, you served Concubine Wan and should be punished for causing such a disaster. But if someone instructed you to do so, perhaps this matter could be resolved differently."

The maid remembered Concubine Hua's ruthless behavior and could only kowtow firmly, gritting her teeth and accepting her fate, "I know nothing about what happened today. If the Empress wants to punish me, I will accept it. However, I did not touch Concubine Wan."

Yi Xiu sneered, "Oh, very good. In that case, then drag her out and beat her to death."

Hua Fei wanted to step forward and say something, but was stopped by Song Zhi, who shook her head at her.

Concubine Hua scoffed and said sarcastically, "The Empress has dealt with this matter very quickly, but I wonder how you're going to punish the servants who served Concubine Wan for not taking good care of their mistress? Why not send them all to the Ministry of Punishment to do hard labor?"

Zhen Huan's face turned pale. She quickly stood up and said to Yi Xiu, "Your Majesty, I'm newly pregnant, and the fetus is unstable. I still need them to take care of me. Why not let them redeem themselves by doing meritorious service?"

Yixiu agreed, "Noble Lady Wan is pregnant now. If she doesn't have someone to serve her attentively, it might be detrimental to the dragon fetus. Concubine Hua's punishment is a bit too harsh."

Concubine Hua lost her wife and her army, and although her appearance was ruined, she was unexpectedly lucky enough to get pregnant.

But another person on his side was lost. It is not easy to train a person, and it is even more difficult to train a loyal person.

The power of Concubine Hua was almost entirely built up with money. Moreover, if the servants around her died because of her orders, I am afraid that the others would also become disloyal.

Concubine Hua returned to Yikun Palace in a rage, planning to teach Zhen Huan a lesson.

Broken Yuxuan

When the emperor learned that Zhen Huan was pregnant, he immediately asked Su Peisheng to bring a flood of rewards.

Su Peisheng said respectfully, "The Emperor was overjoyed to hear that the young lady was pregnant. However, he is busy with court affairs and cannot come to visit the young lady right now. However, he specifically instructed me to bring these rewards to the young lady. The Emperor also said that the dragon fetus is the most important. If the young lady is missing anything, just tell the Empress."

Zhen Huan curled her lips slightly and asked Jin Xi to give Su Peisheng a reward.

She replied calmly, "I thank the Emperor for his concern. I should have gone in person to express my gratitude, but now my appearance has been damaged and I am afraid that I would offend His Majesty. I would like to ask you, eunuch, to convey my gratitude on my behalf."

Su Peisheng also noticed the scars on Zhen Huan's face, and he sighed softly.

Concubine Wan is now pregnant with the prince, which can be said to be a happy ending after all the suffering. However, this incident has happened now. If her appearance is damaged, she will inevitably be disliked by the emperor.

Whether the biological mother is favored or not determines whether the prince is favored or not.

He replied, "My lady, don't worry too much. Doctor Wen is very skilled and I believe he can heal the scar on your face."

After Su Peisheng left, Shen Meizhuang also came to visit Zhen Huan.

The two of them sat on the couch together. She held Zhen Huan's hand tightly and said, "Huan'er, you scared me to death today. Fortunately, nothing happened."

Zhen Huan glanced around, and Jin Xi understood, so she took all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the room out, leaving only Liu Zhu and Cai Xing and Cai Yue who were serving beside Shen Meiyu here.

Zhen Huan lowered her voice and said, "Today's incident was probably orchestrated by Concubine Hua. Now that my appearance has been damaged, it's not appropriate for me to see the Emperor again. Firstly, I want to avoid being favored and not draw too much attention to myself. Secondly, Concubine Hua wants me dead, and if I go out too often, I'm afraid I'll be more vulnerable to her."
