After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

"Ximai?"

Shen Chuanhai's face was confused at first, and then a hint of ecstasy flashed in his eyes.

His Rou'er was indeed very capable, and she had become accomplices with the prince so quickly.

In contrast, Du Heng's face turned green.

"Doctor Liu, are you telling the truth?"

I don’t know if it was anger or rage, but his voice was trembling.

He didn't even touch Rou'er, so how could he have the pregnancy pulse?

Because he was so shocked, his tone was a little questioning.

If Murong Jingyan had not been present, he would have grabbed Doctor Liu by the collar.

Shen Chuanhai also felt that Du Heng's attitude was not right.

He quickly persuaded her, "Prince, calm down. Perhaps it's because it's late, and it's normal for Doctor Liu to make a misdiagnosis."

"How could I not know that whether or not the diagnosis was misdiagnosed was actually related to the weather?"

Being questioned about his medical skills once again, Doctor Liu's old face turned red and his gray beard trembled in the wind.

Shen Rou pretended to be calm and looked at Du Heng with a wronged look on her face, "Brother Du Heng, believe me, I really just have a stomachache.

My maidservant can testify that I'm still drinking the medicine to regulate my stomach, so how come I'm pregnant when I see Doctor Liu? "

Du Heng believed Shen Rou almost instinctively. After all, he knew how deeply in love she was with him.

He looked at Doctor Liu with an unhappy expression, "Rou'er is kind-hearted by nature. Would she lie?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Murong Jingyan vaguely.

It was almost as if he was saying openly that Murong Jingyan and Doctor Liu were in collusion.

Murong Jingyan didn't get angry, and just said slowly, "Doctor Liu has been in the Imperial Hospital since the time of the Emperor's grandfather, and now he is highly valued by the Emperor. What you mean is that I bribed Doctor Liu?"

These words, coming from the mouth of another prince, were more or less cautious - what does a prince want to do when he has such a close relationship with the imperial physician?

But when Murong Jingyan said it, others thought it was perfectly normal.

He even dared to say such brainless words in the Golden Palace: "If your Majesty feels that I have brought shame upon you, then you can depose me as the crown prince. This will allow my third brother to become the heir to the throne of Nanyuan."

What else is he afraid to say?

As soon as these words were spoken, they invisibly elevated Doctor Liu's status.

Today, Dr. Liu’s medical skills have been questioned again and again, which is unfair to him.

With Murong Jingyan's support, his back, which was half hunched over while reporting to Du Heng, straightened instantly.

"Although I am not well-versed in the art, I do know how to verify whether a woman is pregnant or not."

As he spoke, he took out the simple needle bag he carried with him.

Looking at the silver needle shining with cold light, Shen Rou couldn't help but shudder in Du Heng's arms.

Du Heng frowned, "What does Doctor Liu mean?"

"Acupuncture with silver needles can verify whether a woman is pregnant or not.

If a silver needle is inserted into a woman's three Yin meridians, if she is a virgin, the needle will still be as smooth as new when it is removed, and the acupuncture points will not bleed;

If the woman is not a virgin, the silver needle will turn gray when it is taken out, but the acupuncture point will bleed;

If the woman is pregnant, the acupuncture point will turn bluish purple and the silver needle will turn black when pricked with a silver needle.

This is an uncommon method recorded in ancient folk medical books. In the past dynasties, it was used to check the chastity of women of bad reputation.

After Doctor Liu finished explaining, the silver needles were ready.

"Please, Miss Shen, move aside."

Shen Rou looked at Du Heng pitifully, "Brother Du Heng..."

Unexpectedly, this time Du Heng did not oppose Doctor Liu. Instead, he gently coaxed Shen Rou, "Since things have come to this point, you should cooperate with Doctor Liu. That way, you can silence the gossips. If after this matter clears your name, and someone still says something else about you, this prince will definitely not let those gossipers go."

After saying this, he glared at Shen Muxi viciously.

Shen Muxi felt that rolling her eyes at him was a waste of emotion, so she turned to look at Doctor Liu, "I heard that if the silver needle is inserted into the Sanyin acupoint, it can cause miscarriage in pregnant women if the injury is serious. Is this true?"

Doctor Liu nodded, "Generally speaking, those who use this method to verify their identity have suffered a great injustice and want to clear their name. If they are innocent, how could they be pregnant?

To put it bluntly, if someone gets pregnant before they're married and officially married, it's an illegitimate child. An ordinary family wouldn't have time to abort the baby, so why would they have time to feel bad about it?"

After saying that, Doctor Liu very considerately asked Murong Jingyan for permission to "invite" Shen Rou to the side hall.

Now, Shen Rou panicked.

Unable to hold back the pitiful look on his face any longer, he began to struggle, "No, I don't need it, I really just have a stomach..."

If Du Heng still can't see Shen Rou's problem now, then he has lived in vain.

"Rou'er, tell me honestly, do you really just have stomach problems?" He said in a serious tone.

It was the first time that Shen Rou saw Du Heng like this.

She turned her head away feeling a little guilty, but finally looked at Old Madam Shen as if asking for help.

The glance was quick and light, but it was still caught by Shen Muxi and Shen Xi.

"Could Shen Rou's pregnancy be related to Old Madam Shen?"

Shen Xi asked softly.

Shen Muxi didn't bother to respond to Shen Xi, but just watched the interaction between the two without blinking.

It's a pity it was only a quick and secret glance.

Just when Shen Rou was in despair, Old Madam Shen fell heavily to the ground.

The maidservant beside her immediately changed her expression, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Rou even broke free from the servant's hand and flew to Old Madam Shen, "Doctor Liu, save grandma first."

When Old Madam Shen fainted, Shen Muxi knew that today's show was almost over.

She glanced secretly at Murong Jingyan, who happened to be looking at her. The two of them just glanced at each other briefly, then left the front hall at the same time, leaving the farce behind.

...

The curfew in Nanyuan Capital begins at the beginning of the hour of Hai.

There aren't many people on the street right now.

Shen Muxi and Murong Jingyan walked side by side on the street.

He Hong followed the two of them from a distance.

Shen Muxi pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Shen Rou is pregnant, but the child is not Du Heng's."
