Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them
Chapter 27 The Tea-Serving Palace Maid (27)
The imperial physician was so frightened by the emperor's sudden outburst of anger that he almost knelt down.
"Indeed, this medicine can make a woman who is not pregnant appear pregnant by taking it, thus creating the illusion of pregnancy."
However, this medicine can only temporarily deceive others. If conception does not occur within four months of the false pregnancy, the medicine's effects will wear off, and the body will return to normal.
Listening to what the imperial physician said, an idea popped into the emperor's mind: Shen Qingyao was faking her pregnancy, and that she deliberately fell and miscarried at the pavilion that day in order to frame Liang Qiuli.
Thinking back to Liang Qiuli's repeated insistence that she did not push Shen Qingyao and her resolute and unwilling gaze, the emperor felt his guilt reach its peak.
He couldn't help but recall every moment he spent with Liang Qiuli, that pure and kind woman who had never been scheming or calculating, yet now, because of his distrust, she almost lost her life.
"Wang Youxi, investigate for me all the details of the day Consort Shen miscarried, and also focus on investigating Shen Qingyao during the fire at Chengqian Palace."
The emperor gave the order in a deep voice, his tone filled with an unprecedented firmness and coldness.
Wang Youxi quickly agreed. He knew that the emperor's guilt towards Consort Rong had reached its peak, and this time the truth had to be thoroughly investigated in order to quell the emperor's anger.
……
Five days later.
"How can you all be so useless? Didn't you say the Imperial Concubine was alright? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"
The emperor stood anxiously outside his bedchamber in the Zichen Palace, berating the useless imperial physicians, his eyes filled with worry and unease.
He had investigated everything thoroughly and found out that he had wronged Liang Qiuli by not trusting her, which allowed Shen Qingyao, that venomous woman, to take advantage of the situation and almost cost her her life.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. We have indeed administered acupuncture to the Imperial Concubine and prescribed medicine. According to common sense, the Imperial Concubine should be fine now."
The imperial physicians knelt on the ground, their faces showing reluctance.
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. Despite their proper efforts to save her, the Imperial Concubine had yet to wake up.
"You quacks!"
The emperor angrily kicked the head imperial physician, his voice as cold as ice.
"Father... wants... Mother... Mother..."
The two children had never been away from Liang Qiuli for so long, so they had been clamoring to find her for the past two days. The wet nurses had no choice but to bring her to the emperor.
The emperor took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and turned to comfort the two children held by the wet nurse.
"Yu'er, Zhao'er, your father will take you to find your mother, but you must not cry. Your mother needs a quiet environment to rest, understand?"
Although the two children were young, they were very sensible. Upon hearing the emperor's words, they immediately stopped crying, their little hands tightly gripping the emperor's clothes, their big, dark eyes glistening with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
The emperor gently patted their little heads, feeling a surge of tenderness in his heart.
He led the two children into the bedroom, where Liang Qiuli was lying on the bed, her face pale and looking lifeless.
The emperor walked to the bedside, gently took Liang Qiuli's hand, and whispered her name.
"Li'er, I've brought Yu'er and Zhao'er to see you. Please wake up soon."
"Mother..."
"Mother..."
The two children, imitating the emperor, lay down by the bed and whispered Liang Qiuli's name.
Liang Qiuli twitched her eyelids slightly, but she didn't have the strength to open them.
She never expected that the coma pills she redeemed from the system would be so effective. Five days have passed in a row, and she doesn't even have the strength to open her eyes.
Although the emperor had been apologizing to her in the past few days out of guilt, she remained unmoved. After all, what she had suffered could not be soothed by a few apologies.
Of course, the longer the emperor remains unconscious, the deeper his guilt will be, and the more confident he will be in dealing with Shen Qingyao later.
But the two children are her own flesh and blood, and she can feel their attachment to her and their worries about her.
A warm feeling welled up in her heart; it was the affection of blood ties.
She tried to open her eyes wide, wanting to see her children, to tell them she was alright, and to tell them not to worry.
"Yu'er, Zhao'er, be good. Your mother is just a little tired and needs to rest for a while."
Liang Qiuli lifted her heavy eyelids. The faint light shone through the gap in the bed curtains onto her face, and she saw two small figures lying by the bed, holding her hands tightly.
Those were her Yu'er and Zhao'er. Her heart warmed, as if all her weariness had vanished.
"Pear, you're finally awake. Is anything bothering you?"
The emperor was surprised that Liang Qiuli woke up as soon as the two children arrived. He was delighted and asked her with concern.
Then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly called out towards the outside of the hall, "Imperial Physician!"
The imperial physician quickly entered and, after examining her pulse, confirmed that apart from being weak and needing rest, Consort Rong and the unborn child were fine, which put the emperor at ease.
Liang Qiuli ignored the emperor, either gazing at the two little ones with tenderness and love in her eyes, or touching her slightly protruding belly.
Knowing he was in the wrong, the emperor wasn't angry when Liang Qiuli ignored him. Instead, he looked at her with doting eyes, as if every move and every glance of hers captivated him.
Finally, when the two children were tired from playing, the emperor hurriedly told the wet nurse to take them away to rest. Then, he carefully sat down next to Liang Qiuli and said softly.
"Li'er, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disbelieved you and made you suffer."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? Did something happen while I was unconscious these past few days?"
Liang Qiuli pretended not to know anything and looked at the emperor with a puzzled expression.
The emperor looked into her clear, watery eyes and his heart tightened.
He gently took her hand and whispered.
"Li'er, I have investigated thoroughly. That day at the pavilion, Shen Qingyao deliberately fell to frame you. Moreover, she was not pregnant at all; she took a false pregnancy drug to deceive me."
She was also involved in the fire at Chengqian Palace. I have already decreed that she be banished to the Cold Palace and never to be released again.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuli felt extremely pleased, but on the surface she appeared shocked.
"False pregnancy? I see. I told you I didn't push her, and she suddenly fell to the ground."
"I have no deep-seated hatred for her, so why would she frame me to this extent, even trying to burn me alive?"
Seeing her aggrieved expression, the emperor felt even more guilty.
"I know I've wronged you. Don't worry, I will make it up to you properly."
Liang Qiuli's eyes were slightly red, and she choked up as she said, "I am not wronged. I just want Your Majesty to believe in me. It's just... it's just that I'm afraid I will never see Your Majesty again."
Looking at her tear-streaked face, the emperor felt even more tenderness towards her. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, speaking softly.
"Of course I believe you. I promise I will believe you no matter what happens in the future."
Liang Qiuli leaned against the emperor's chest, inwardly sneering. The emperor was suspicious; his sweet words were merely a way to soothe his guilt.
But that doesn't matter. What matters is that she wants the emperor to see her pitifulness, her helplessness, and her fragility.
Only in this way will the emperor feel pity for her and favor her even more.
Seeing that Liang Qiuli had stopped crying, the emperor still felt guilty towards her and knew that there were some things he could only do to make her suffer.
"Is there something else I need to discuss with Li'er?"
