Shi Qing's words brought everything to light, and the emperor could not cover up for Concubine Hua.

Concubine Hua was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly knelt down to defend herself.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

This matter is of great importance and will inevitably alarm the Queen Mother. Only when things get out of hand will it be difficult to resolve.

Of course, Hua Fei would not be so stupid as to do such a thing in her own palace. It was just a starting point for Hua Fei to point the finger at the Queen.

It is naturally pleasant to watch tigers fighting from a distance, but when the time is right, no one knows who the beneficiary will be.

Shi Qing and Zhen Huan hit it off immediately, and no matter what conspiracy or plot they had, they could all be exposed in one word.

The emperor was a little annoyed and only asked Hua Fei to reflect on herself or investigate the matter herself in the palace. As for Jingren Palace, the emperor would naturally investigate it personally.

"I'm too lazy to care about this matter, Mei'er, I'll leave it to you to solve. Don't let me down."

The queen was slightly stunned. The emperor actually entrusted such an important matter to Shen Meiyu. However, she felt happy when she saw Concubine Hua in trouble.

Shi Qing said respectfully, "Yes, I obey your order."

"Your Majesty, it would be better to leave this matter to the Queen Mother..."

The queen felt uneasy. If something unexpected happened, her plan would be ruined. Thinking of this, her emotions became more and more complicated.

"I have made up my mind. You should take good care of your health. During this period, I will let Doctor Wen from the Imperial Hospital treat you. Not only must you take care of your health, but you must also take care of the heir to the throne."

Yixiu felt heartbroken. The emperor was only concerned about the baby in her womb and didn't care about her life or death. Even though she had accepted this in her heart, she was still upset.

Moreover, a voodoo doll was found in Jingren Palace, and the emperor might not believe what she said. She had to protect herself, otherwise her position as queen would be difficult to keep.

Shi Qing said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Empress's illness has nothing to do with the art of yin-yang, but rather the Imperial Physician's incompetence. I have a recommendation for someone, what do you think?"

Hua Fei was tricked by the Queen and now she is blamed for the crime. She is unwilling to accept this and cries out for justice but the Emperor pretends not to hear her.

The emperor praised, "Tell me about it. Who did you recommend?"

"It was Imperial Physician Wen who originally formulated the prescription for the epidemic. Concubine Wan is also being cared for by Imperial Physician Wen. His father also worked at the Imperial Hospital and his medical skills are very sophisticated."

The Queen interrupted, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang's medical skills are not bad. I was simply affected by the witchcraft."

Zhen Huan looked deep in her eyes and began to flatter the emperor.

"I was cursed at birth, but now I'm fine. Your Majesty is the mistress of the six palaces, so the imperial physician must have been careless. Your Majesty, don't worry, with Imperial Physician Wen here, your illness will be cured."

Hearing this, the queen carefully observed the emperor's expression and found that he was unhappy, so she didn't want to continue speaking.

"I agree."

The emperor also instructed Su Peisheng to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Wen to Jingren Palace to treat the empress.

Su Peisheng hurried to the Imperial Hospital, and within a cup of tea, Wen Shichu was invited to Jingren Palace.

"Wei Chen has met the emperor."

The emperor pointed at the queen and said in a sharp voice, "Doctor Wen, please take the queen's pulse carefully. If you can cure her, I will reward you handsomely."

Doctor Wen said calmly, "I will do my best."

Doctor Wen took the Queen's pulse. The Queen looked very unhappy. Because of the presence of the concubines in the harem, she did not dare to say much at this moment. She looked at Doctor Wen beside her with mixed feelings.

Concubine Qi watched from the side and spoke frankly, "Doctor Wen, the Empress is now eight months pregnant and will soon give birth. You must carefully examine her pulse and cure her. You will be rewarded."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wen knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the Empress is not pregnant, and her body is too weak after the miscarriage, so she is feeling unwell."

Hua Fei grasped the key words, and now was a good time to fight back against that bitch Yi Xiu.

"Are you saying that the Queen faked her pregnancy to win favor?"

The emperor's face was gloomy. He threw the cup beside him to the ground and spoke in a sharp voice.

"Wen Shichu, you are not allowed to slander the Queen. Tell me the whole story. If you slander the Queen, I will not forgive you!"

Wen Shichu seemed to have expected this. He looked calm, stretched out his finger, and swore firmly.

"I dare not speak nonsense. Your Majesty's pulse is very irregular, which is a sign of premature birth. The imperial physician in charge of the Empress is Imperial Physician Zhang. I dare not speak nonsense."

Shi Qing added, "Your Majesty, investigate the maidservants around the Empress. If the Empress is faking her pregnancy, they will definitely be able to find clues. You must be very careful about this matter and not let the Empress suffer any injustice."

This sounds like he is speaking in favor of the queen, but it is not the case.
