The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Dean He looked towards the crown prince's seat. Chu Xia was in the crown prince's arms, her face was pale, her eye sockets were sunken, and her expression was haggard. She was thin because she practiced dancing to keep her body light, and she became even thinner after the marriage of the War King. Even after entering the East Palace, she did not recover much, and looked like a sickly beauty who was frail and vulnerable.

The difference between these two sisters is so great that you can tell at a glance without even feeling their pulses. But since the emperor has given the order, it is probably Chuxia who is ill, so naturally we still have to check her carefully.

But when he felt Chu Xia's pulse, he raised his eyes sharply and looked directly at her, but Chu Xia seemed to be deliberately avoiding him and didn't look at him at all. Dean He looked at the emperor again, and the emperor motioned for him to continue.

The emperor noticed that He Yuanshou seemed surprised. He should have detected the pregnancy the first time he did it. Why was he surprised? Wasn't it normal for a woman to get pregnant after getting married?

Dean He probed for a long time, using both hands, and finally looked at Chu Xia meaningfully. He couldn't keep this girl, but how should he tell the emperor about this? Today was the New Year, so there had to be some taboos.

"Master He, how is it?" the emperor asked from above.

"Reporting to the emperor, the prince's concubine is lacking in qi and blood, and the fetus is unstable. She needs to stay in bed and rest. I will prescribe medicine to preserve the fetus immediately." Let's wait a few days.

When he first saw him, he looked at Dean He with interest, but he could also understand it.

The emperor frowned deeply. Dean He had been by his side for decades, and he had heard the hidden meaning. He was afraid that the matter was more serious. He glanced at Chu Jian. This girl probably knew something.

"Come here, prepare the sedan chair and send the prince's concubine back to the palace. Take good care of her and do not neglect her!" the emperor said.

Dean He followed him over.

This is the New Year, but the emperor is not having a good day today, one bad thing after another. The following banquet also ended early, go back, everyone, go back, you are an eyesore!

As soon as the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace, he called Dean He over.

"Master, tell me honestly what happened in early summer." The emperor rubbed his solar plexus.

Dean He did not answer directly, but took out a small medicine bottle and poured out a pill for him to take.

"Your Majesty, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, your own health is more important."

"They make me worry too much. I know everything." The emperor was a little sad. "Let's talk about Chu Xia."

"The Crown Prince's concubine had her veins cut and her Qi and blood were greatly damaged. She is too weak to get pregnant. The growth of the fetus depends entirely on the mother. If the mother is deficient in Qi and blood and lacks nutrition, the fetus is very likely to miscarry. Congenital deficiencies can easily lead to fetal deformities. Moreover, the mother's body is too damaged during childbirth and she is prone to bleeding and death. Even if the fetus is barely born, it will have a very poor constitution due to congenital malformations and will easily die."

"Can't I make up for it?"

"If it is a slight deficiency of Qi and blood, it can still be replenished, but the Crown Prince's concubine at that time..." Dean He knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, regarding the royal heir, this old minister dare not say anything today."

"Tell me, no matter what the result is, I want to know it today!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's concubine was on the verge of death due to the loss of vital energy and blood. She is lucky to be saved. Just now, this old minister has found that the fetus in her belly is developing abnormally and cannot sit steadily. Even the pregnancy-preserving medicine cannot save it. It is estimated that she will miscarry within ten days, and the mother's life will be in danger. Intervention must be carried out in advance."

"Really can't save him?" The emperor was a little sad. That was his grandson, the grandson of his beloved late queen.

"I can't protect it. This old minister is incompetent." Dean He kowtowed.

The emperor sat in his chair in silence for a long time, thinking of the surprised expression of Dean He in the palace, "Did you know about this in advance?"

"Yes, it was Princess Zhan who told me about the Crown Prince's concubine cutting her wrists. She said she had mentioned this matter to the Prime Minister's Office, but it did not attract any attention, so she asked me to inform the East Palace. I have told the Crown Prince's concubine, and the Crown Prince's concubine herself also knew about this matter. I didn't expect..."

"Chū Jian told you? She knows too?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Zhan's medical skills are not far behind me, and she has a better understanding of external injuries than me. In less than two years, she will surpass me. The prescriptions for this plague were all made by her. It's just that she said that a tall tree attracts the wind, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Prince Zhan, so she let me take this advantage."

"How could that be? She would probably forget about any credit she has contributed." The emperor didn't believe it. After all, the way she took advantage of others when he first saw her was too deeply rooted in people's minds.

"Your Majesty, do you feel better after taking the medicine just now?"

"It's better." The emperor no longer had a headache.

"This is also a pill made by Princess Zhan. It soothes the liver and qi, calms the mind and calms the heart. This is what Concubine Yun took last time. She gave it to me specially."

The emperor was stunned again. This is what it was like when you first met someone. It made you love and hate them at the same time.

"Okay, let's not talk about Chu Jian. Let's solve Chu Xia's problem first. Dean He, I'll leave this matter to you. Minimize the damage. I'll talk to the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

Fighting against the Prince's Mansion.

Chu Jian was confined to the pharmacy counter.

"Princess, which one is the Ten-fold Tonic Pill? Aren't you going to give it to me?"

"Use it! Use it! Use it!" Chu Jian pried his big hands apart in horror. She felt that Jing Muyang was acting strange all the way out of the palace, like a yandere, a look she had almost never seen before.

"Let me go first, I'll get it, right now!"

"No, tell me which bottle it is and I'll take it myself." Jing Muyang clenched his hands again.

"The red one."

Jing Muyang held her and took out the red medicine bottle. There was only one pill in it. "Why is there only one?"

"One is enough, Mu Yang. Actually, you are not as serious as Dean He said. He said it on purpose for Father to hear."

"So this means that I don't need to take any supplements, and I can have a little prince with my princess right now?" Jing Muyang leaned in and bit her ear. "Princess, tell me, is it true that three to five months is not suitable for having a child?"

"Really, really, absolutely true!"

"Why shouldn't I believe it?" Jing Muyang murmured. It was really not suitable to lie when you first met someone. People could always see through her at a glance. At most, she could scare those who didn't know her. Today, she had performed exceptionally well in the hall, mixing truth with lies.

“I…I…” Chu Jian panicked.

The panic at the first sight made Jing Muyang feel very sad and made him more certain of his inference.

She said that day that she wanted to save money and run away. Maybe there was more in her mind than what she said. Had she always been planning to leave me? Had she never thought of taking him with her?

On the wedding day, she had said that if he betrayed her, she would never look back. Today, in front of so many people in the hall, she said again that if that happened, she would definitely part ways without hesitation. She loved Jingxu so much. If she had her own child, could she still leave so decisively?

The more Jing Muyang thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress the panic in his heart.

"Chu Jian, do you not want a child? Or do you not want to be with me..."

"No, no, Muyang, don't think too much." Chu Jian interrupted him. Jing Muyang was holding her hand and tightening it, as if he was afraid that she would disappear. His eyes were full of sadness and his body began to tremble.

"Am I just imagining things? It's not true that three to five months is not suitable for having a baby?" Jing Muyang stared into her eyes and questioned.

"Mu Yang..." Chu Jian couldn't continue. It was indeed what she had made up, although there was some truth to it.

"I know you're lying."

Jing Muyang suppressed the grief in his heart, his eyes were red, and he raised his hand to stroke her face.

"Chu Jian, when did you drink the contraceptive soup? It's not a good thing. Drinking too much of it can harm a woman's health. If you don't want a child, then from now on, I'll drink it..."

Jing Muyang looked like a wronged and hurt little puppy, but he still said he would drink the contraceptive soup for her.

Ouch, I felt so heartbroken when I first saw you.
