Zhen Huan was angry. These days, she was so overwhelmed by the joy of being pregnant that she had lost her usual caution.

If people knew that she was not pregnant, it would not only be a crime of deceiving the emperor, but she would also be laughed at. How could she survive in the palace in the future?

Who is plotting against her in this matter, Shen Meizhuang or Concubine Hua?

If it was Shen Meizhuang, it would be easier to deal with. She could just play the victim. Even if she was laughed at, she would get more sympathy.

If it was Concubine Hua, then it would be difficult to deal with. There would be no evidence, and at most he could push out an imperial physician. There would be no loss, and he would not be able to shake her at all, nor could he avenge himself. He might even be bitten back.

Before dealing with the fake pregnancy, she had to first confirm who was plotting against her so that she could plan the next step.

Seeing Xiao Shanzi coming back from sending someone off, he called him over and asked, "Were you seen by anyone else when you went to the Imperial Hospital to ask for help?"

Xiao Shanzi thought for a moment and replied, "My lord, a few people saw it, but I left early, so I think they should have finished their shift by now."

The two imperial physicians we invited today have already been paid hush money, so I don’t think the news will get out in the short term.

Then let's go to the Imperial Hospital first to test it. The person behind the scenes doesn't want others to take your pulse and will definitely try to stop it. This should be done as soon as possible.

So he ordered, "Liuzhu, if you make any noise later, tell them that I'm feeling unwell and want to call the imperial physician. Delay a little while on the way and make a big announcement so everyone knows."

Liuzhu responded.

"Huanbi and Xiaoshanzi, you stay at the Imperial Hospital and find someone to send Liu Bin away. When Liuzhu goes to ask for the imperial physician, see if any of them volunteer."

"After Liuzhu left, did anyone go to any palace to report the news?"

"The key is to investigate Concubine Hua and Concubine Ning."

Xiao Shanzi was disdainful in his heart. It was Ningpin who made you discover this matter, and you are repaying kindness with hatred...

After Xiao Shanzi and Huanbi left, Liuzhu called out, "My lady...my lady, what's wrong with you? The dragon fetus is feeling unwell. I'll go get the imperial physician right away."

After saying that, he ran out in a hurry. Because of his recklessness, he bumped into two people on the way. When he arrived at the Imperial Hospital, he was already sweating profusely.

Standing at the door, he shouted loudly: "Is the imperial physician Liu Bin here? My young lady is feeling unwell with the dragon fetus."

A little medicine boy came up and said, "Miss, Imperial Physician Liu just left and we don't know when he'll be back. If you're in a hurry, could you please ask another Imperial Physician?"

Liuzhu anxiously grabbed the little medicine boy's arm and said, "Why did he leave at this time? He has been responsible for my young master's pregnancy. He knows the situation best."

"I don't know, could you send someone to look for him? Or is there a doctor who is familiar with Doctor Liu who would be fine?"

The little medicine boy didn't know what to do. Doctor Liu left in a hurry and no one knew where he was going or what happened. He had no idea where to find anyone.

In this case, the only option was to find another imperial physician for her. Just as she was about to go and call for help, Jiang Shen came out of the house.

Jiang Shen: "Miss, may I ask who your young master is?"

Liuzhu squatted down and bowed: "I wonder what is the name of this imperial physician? My young master is Noble Lady Wan."

Jiang Shen nodded and said, "I, your humble servant Jiang Shen, wonder if I could go with you?"

Liuzhu frowned slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed. The little medicine boy beside her immediately explained, "Young lady, Imperial Doctor Jiang is a very skilled doctor and is renowned in the Imperial Hospital. Don't worry, young lady."

Liuzhu was very anxious again. She recounted Zhen Huan's symptoms, her previous medications, and her eating habits today.

Seeing that time was almost up and no other imperial physician came out, he left the Imperial Hospital with Imperial Physician Jiang.

Zhen Huan looked at the imperial physician kneeling beside her bed and taking her pulse, and her heart sank even more.

The matter has developed in the worst direction. The person she least wants to face is Concubine Hua. In the palace, anyone who is well-informed knows that the two brothers of the Jiang family are Concubine Hua's people.

After taking the pulse, Jiang Shen frowned and said with a stiff upper lip, "The young master is fine. Just get some rest."

Seeing that he didn't get to the point, Zhen Huan couldn't grasp the situation at all, so she asked again, "I wonder if my young master's dragon fetus is in trouble?"

Jiang Shen paused, as if she regretted involving herself in this, but she couldn't ruin the Empress's plan.

"My dear, your dragon fetus is fine. Please rest more and don't worry too much."

Zhen Huan sneered inwardly, "Then I can rest assured. Thank you, Imperial Physician Jiang."

After Jiang Shen left, Xiao Shanzi and Huanbi came back one after another.

Xiao Shanzi reported, "Your Majesty, after Miss Liuzhu left, I did see a little medicine boy leave right after her. I followed him all the way to Qingliang Palace, but I didn't go in to investigate."

Zhen Huan nodded, just as she had guessed.

Huanbi followed closely, "After Xiaoshanzi left, I didn't see anyone else go out. I waited until Imperial Physician Jiang returned to the Imperial Hospital before I came back."

This made it completely certain that it was Concubine Hua who plotted against her, but the pulse diagnosis of only two imperial physicians was completely incapable of shaking Concubine Hua.

It can be said that Doctor Jiang was not well-trained and could be expelled from the Imperial Medical Bureau at most. Even if Liu Bin was caught at this time, he would not dare to tell the truth and could only take the blame at most.

If he dared to betray Concubine Hua, his entire family outside the palace would probably be in danger of their lives.

Unless the matter has come to light, instead of Liu Bin identifying the person, there is still a possibility of getting his confession.

Now it seems that the best option is to wait for Concubine Hua to make a move again and then expose her in front of the emperor.

But she also needs a witness, otherwise she will be accused of false pregnancy and framed, which will not be worth it.

Thinking of this, Zhen Huan took Liuzhu and walked out. She didn't say where she was going or when she would come back.

No one around her knew what she was going to do. Zhen Huan left the Bitong Academy, took a small path to avoid the crowd, and came to the Changchun Fairy Pavilion.

Yixiu was quite surprised that Zhen Huan discovered the fake pregnancy so quickly. She didn't expect her mind to be so sensitive.

Yixiu said with a gentle expression: "Since the pregnancy is a misunderstanding, I will send someone to the Qinzheng Palace to report to the emperor. As for Concubine Hua..."

Yixiu shook her head: "Unless the two imperial doctors speak up and point out the truth, it will be difficult to convict her."

Seeing Zhen Huan's troubled expression, she stopped talking and waited for Zhen Huan to think it over.

Sure enough, a moment later, Zhen Huan stood up and knelt down: "Since I entered the palace, Your Majesty has always taken care of me. I am very grateful. I am willing to serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly and follow your lead."

The queen wanted her to express her stance and wanted her to surrender. As expected, no one in the palace was simple.

Zhen Huan lowered her head slightly to show her submission.

Yixiu smiled complacently, then said with an embarrassed look, "We are all sisters in the palace. Why should Concubine Wan be so polite? The ground is cold, get up quickly."

So he personally helped Zhen Huan up.
