An Lingrong's Rebirth: Red

In order not to damage the reputation of the royal family, the emperor naturally told everyone in the harem about this matter, and the archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also supplemented, so that Zhen Huan's pregnancy could be said to be "legitimate."

However, the emperor knew clearly that there was musk deer in Zhen Huan's room and she had used safflower before, so it was impossible for her to get pregnant.

The only possibility was to pretend to be pregnant in order to trick himself into releasing her from the cold palace.

The Emperor has no plans to release Zhen Huan now, but he still needs someone to confirm whether what she is thinking is true or false.

"Ask He Anming and Doctor Zhou to go there," the emperor thought for a moment and ordered Su Peisheng, "Ask them to make sure to find out whether the child exists."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Su Peisheng moved quickly and efficiently. Within a cup of tea, He Anming and Doctor Zhou, accompanied by Xiao Xiazi, rushed to the Old Summer Palace.

Lingrong was a little surprised that these two people went. After all, she had never bribed Doctor Zhou, and she didn't know whether he would agree with He Anming.

However, it is difficult to be very accurate when it comes to months, and errors in pulse diagnosis are common.

Lingrong naturally knew that the Emperor had indeed been to Yuedi Yunju and had indeed visited Zhen Huan. She even knew that Zhen Huan had used the Queen's prescription to become pregnant.

It was just a matter of adding a condition to the recipe. Ling Rong took a sip of hot tea, looked at the fallen leaves from the pear tree in the garden, and fell into deep thought.

If the targeting of Zhen Huan in the past was because of the lost child and the time of prayer, then now it is because of the position of Queen and even the next Emperor.

As expected, no matter whether Zhen Huan treats them well or not, the two of them will fight for their favor, for their family, and for their status. Anyway, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Even if they still cannot defeat Zhen Huan in this life, they can only accept it.

But before that, Zhen Huan, you just have to take it slowly.

After He Anming and Doctor Zhou arrived at the Old Summer Palace, they naturally took Zhen Huan's pulse very seriously. The two debated a little on the date, but finally reached a consensus that it would be around three months.

However, this date cannot be determined accurately, with an error of at least half a month.

This was naturally not a big deal. Since it matched the files in the Jingshifang, Doctor Zhou was relieved. After leaving some pregnancy-preserving medicine, he and He Anming hurried back to the Forbidden City to report.

The carriage was bumpy on the road. He Anming hesitated again and again, but still asked the imperial physician Zhou a question, "The pulse of the noble lady Wan is strange. If the pulse is not wrong, she will not be able to get pregnant with so much musk deposited in her body.

What's more, even in the Moon Land Cloud Residence, there is a lingering scent of musk. Is there something strange about this?"

Doctor Zhou was old and had seen a lot of trouble in the palace. When he heard He Anming had doubts, he did not doubt him and just thought that He Anming was young and had not seen the various methods used in the palace.

“Because of favoritism, the relationship between concubines was often not good, and it was common for them to use musk to attack each other.

So you don't have to worry too much. Concubine Wan must have had her own way of getting pregnant.

Even if the child doesn’t live long, it’s not your fault or mine.”

"I'm not worried about the responsibility," He Anming sighed, as if he was very distressed, "I'm just wondering if this child used that prescription... the one that killed the Seventh Prince."

"This... is possible." Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhou hesitated for a moment. Thinking of the Seventh Prince's situation, he felt quite sad.

But he had experienced many concubines, so the pain only lasted for a moment.

"Even if this is the case, it is Lady Wan's choice. What does it have to do with you and me?

Don't worry too much, Judge He, things will work out when the time comes. We are just here to check your situation. Don't put all the responsibility on your shoulders."

Doctor Zhou's stubbornness actually aroused He Anming's interest. He nodded, looking as if he had learned something. "Doctor Zhou is indeed a senior. He can see things clearly. I admire him.

If the emperor wasn't so concerned about the matter of the dragon heir, I wouldn't want to ask so many questions."

Doctor Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively, "What did the emperor tell you?"

"The emperor also talked to Doctor Zhou in private?" He Anming pretended to be surprised, but was reluctant to continue. It was not until Doctor Zhou nodded that he spoke again, "The emperor is worried about the bloodline of the heir, so we naturally have to find out the truth. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to the emperor if he asks."

"This..." Doctor Zhou didn't think too much about it, but He Anming's words made him taste something unusual. "From the pulse of Lady Wan, it seems that she has been here for about three months. If we compare it with the files in the Jingshifang, won't we know the blood condition immediately?"

He Anming lowered his voice again and said what everyone knew, "The Emperor has only visited Concubine Wan once, so he cares so much about the month.

If he had visited me more often, I wouldn't have to worry so much.

Rather than worrying about whether the dragon heir can be raised in the future, I am worried about how long we can keep our heads!"

The two people's voices were a little excited, which prompted Xiao Xiazi to ask through the curtain, but He Anming quickly calmed his voice and replied that there was no need.

He looked back at Doctor Zhou, who looked a little anxious, as if the emperor had indeed told him something before coming.

"But I believe in the medical skills of Imperial Doctor Zhou. I think after I tell His Majesty this, I can get my report back." He Anming smiled slightly and put all the responsibility on Imperial Doctor Zhou.

Doctor Zhou straightened his back and immediately realized something was wrong. It turned out that this guy was planning to make me take the blame so that if there were any mistakes in the future, he wouldn't be blamed.

This won't do. Doctor Zhou immediately thought about how to make sure He Anming couldn't escape. "Of course, if you and I diagnose together, the probability of error is very small."

They are all people who were sent by the emperor to do things, and they are all very smart, especially Doctor Zhou who is trusted by the emperor and is on par with Su Peisheng.

He was best at making ambiguous remarks to evade responsibility, and his medical skills were quite good, so he was naturally able to keep himself safe in the rapids every time, and eventually gained the trust of the emperor.

In his eyes, He Anming was still too young and could not compare with himself.

"But we do need to take the matter of the prescription into consideration, so let's talk to the emperor about it."

He Anming nodded repeatedly, and after a moment he asked hesitantly, "Has Doctor Zhou seen the prescription? Is it really that effective?"

"The prescription is so effective that even if a woman's body is damaged by musk, she can still get pregnant." Doctor Zhou stroked his beard and listed the various herbs on the prescription. "The prescription has a very strict ratio. If any one of them is reduced, I'm afraid it won't have such a good effect.

But we haven’t done any research, so we can’t be too confident.”

"It's so effective!" He Anming pretended to be shocked again, and then put on a studious attitude, "But this musk still has an effect, especially since there is also...spices burning in Yuediyunju.

The emperor only rested once, but he was able to get pregnant so smoothly. It seems that I really need to study it carefully after returning. If I can make some adjustments, it will benefit the world."

Doctor Zhou was surprised that He Anming was still thinking about the prescription at this time. After all, the carriage was very fast, and the two of them had not yet discussed how to explain the situation to the emperor after entering the palace.

Can you prioritize? Doctor Zhou was almost sweating. He wiped his forehead and asked, "Do you think it's hard to get pregnant in one try with this prescription?"

He Anming groaned and nodded hesitantly, "Because of the musk, it is really hard to tell. I am afraid I can only ask Concubine Chun and Concubine Jing to find out.

only……"

Doctor Zhou also knew that they were outsiders and asking such questions was too private, but this was indeed a big problem and he had to take it seriously.

"Just explain it to the emperor. Someone will ask about it." Doctor Zhou thought for a while and considered the words for a long time. "When you explain the situation to the emperor, just say this..."

When the two men finished their discussion, they also arrived at the Forbidden City, where they gave their responses to the Emperor as if they were discussing something.

First, she said that the pregnancy period was indeed about three months, and then she said that the musk was very strong and it might be because of the use of tiger and wolf drugs. Finally, she was evasive in her words, telling the emperor that he could ask Concubine Chun or Concubine Jing about the situation before making a final judgment.

The emperor was suspicious to begin with, and when he heard the two imperial doctors being so hesitant, he immediately became a little uneasy.

However, his face was still somewhat serious, even extremely displeased. However, these two imperial doctors had received his orders to find out whether Concubine Wan was unfaithful, so there was nothing wrong with their words.

Therefore, the emperor could only grit his teeth, swallow his anger, and ask the two men to return to the Imperial Hospital.

He Anming felt relieved. He had finally completed the task assigned by Concubine Sheng. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and have a good rest.

Doctor Zhou looked at his expression and thought that he was not used to the emperor's mood swings, so he tried to comfort him.

"Fortunately, I have Doctor Zhou with me today, otherwise I don't know how big a mistake I would have made in front of the emperor."

He Anming was used to hiding his shortcomings in front of old doctors like Dr. Zhou. Apart from his medical skills, he tried to make people think that he was ignorant of the ways of the world, so as to weaken his own edge and avoid arousing jealousy.

If it wasn't like this on weekdays, it would be difficult to persuade Imperial Physician Zhou to say those metaphorical words today, let alone cause the Emperor to suspect Concubine Wan.

But...with Imperial Physician Zhou following, it would be inconvenient for him to go to Chengqian Palace to report the situation. He could only wait until tomorrow to go and tell Concubine Sheng the situation.

Shortly after He Anming and others returned to the Imperial Hospital, the emperor went to Xianfu Palace and Suiyuxuan successively to inquire about the prescription.

Both Concubine Jing and Concubine Chun took a long time, and the Emperor also visited them many times during this period, before they finally got the good news.

As for whether they would get what they wanted this time, the two concubines could not confirm it. After all, they were not imperial doctors, so how could they say for sure about such things?

The more the emperor listened, the angrier he became, because he was the one who had sent people to put the musk deer in Concubine Wan's room in order to prevent her from getting pregnant.

But now, not only is the child here, but we can't be sure whether he is the biological father. How can we not feel overwhelmed and angry?

"Your Majesty, I have thought of someone who may understand the effect of this medicine."

Su Peisheng walked faster and faster with the emperor. Seeing that his master was getting angrier, he spoke in time, "It's the Queen. After all, this prescription is related to the Queen, so I think she knows the specific effects of the medicine."

Queen. The emperor exhaled heavily, and he looked in the direction of Jingren Palace. He hadn't been there for a long time, and even the road to Jingren Palace began to feel unfamiliar.

"..." The emperor opened his mouth to speak, but sighed instead. Su Peisheng frowned and wondered what the emperor meant.

Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Su Peisheng broke out in a cold sweat and for the first time thought that he might have been too talkative.

"Go see the Queen."

The emperor finally spoke. Su Peisheng let out a sigh of relief and quickly called for the sedan bearers to come and send the emperor to Jingren Palace.

The heavy gate of Jingren Palace opened, revealing a desolate scene inside. There was not even a palace maid sweeping the courtyard, and it looked quite pitiful.

Su Peisheng thought it was normal. All the concubines who were under house arrest were like this. If everyone showed sympathy, the palace would have been flooded long ago.

The emperor also said nothing, and the tightly closed doors opened one by one. The dust flying in the air made the emperor frown, and his displeasure became more and more obvious.

It was not until they reached the main hall that a little palace maid came over and hurriedly paid her respects to the emperor.

The sound echoed in the room. The elegant ornaments that were once displayed on the antique display shelf were now covered with dust, and it was obvious that they had not been taken care of carefully.

The emperor rarely felt a little guilty, but when he saw the queen's well-maintained face that still had her former beauty, the guilt quickly dissipated.

If Rouze were still alive, she would definitely be more beautiful than Yixiu. She would definitely not be like Yixiu, who messed up the harem and then pretended to kneel before the Buddha.

"Your Majesty, you are here," the queen slowly stood up and bowed to the emperor gently, "I pay my respects to your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, just take a seat."

The emperor's voice was cold, which made the queen hesitate a little. Huichun behind her hurriedly supported her, and after the queen sat down, she took her leave.

The Queen looked at the Emperor's expression and couldn't figure out his intention for a moment, so she had to lower her head and sip her tea, waiting for the Emperor to speak.

The emperor also took a sip of tea, but the tea leaves were not good. After being brewed with hot water, it even had a musty smell. The emperor reluctantly took a sip and threw it aside without paying any more attention to it.

From opening the door to drinking tea, every little detail was the Queen showing her pity. The Emperor was not moved at all, and when he was not favoring her, every expression of the Queen became a pretense.

"Let me ask you, are you clear about the efficacy of Concubine Chun's prescription?"
