After Huanbi was reborn, she became the prince's favorite

Fuling told the emperor tremblingly that the blood-stained clothes were because Concubine Shen had her period and was afraid that others would know, so she asked him to deal with it hurriedly, but she didn't expect to run into the emperor.

Fuling started to cry as she spoke, "Your Majesty, I know there is only one master in the palace, and that is Your Majesty, so even if Concubine Shen wants to kill me, I have to explain everything to Your Majesty.

When I learned that the lady had her period but was not pregnant, I advised her to tell the emperor about it as soon as possible. However, the lady scolded me and said... that if I dared to reveal a word about it, my family would not be able to survive.

Your Majesty, it is not a pity for me to die alone, but my parents are old and my brothers and sisters are already living in poverty. I really don’t want to bring trouble to my family.”

Mei Zhuang was completely confused by what the maid said. She pointed at her and asked angrily, "When did I ever tell you such a thing?"

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Mei Zhuang with disappointment.

Mei Zhuang kept shaking her head and was about to open her mouth to explain herself, but Concubine Hua interrupted her.

Hua Fei wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief, and said with a sympathetic look, "Your Majesty, although Fuling is a maid of low status, Concubine Shen cannot threaten her family. I feel sorry for her when I hear that."

The emperor held out his hand, and Concubine Hua hurriedly handed it over. The emperor gently held her and said, "I understand. You have a deep relationship with your brother and your family. It's really hard for you to be sad for a maid."

Concubine Hua shook her head coquettishly.

The emperor turned around and ordered Su Peisheng to call the imperial physician. Sister Mei said she wanted to find Liu Bin. The emperor glanced at her meaningfully and asked Su Peisheng to invite both Liu Bin and Zhang Mi.

Mei Zhuang cried and told the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have never told Fuling a single word of what she said. I don't know why she wants to wrongly accuse me. And I haven't had my period. How dare I lie to your Majesty about such a big thing?"

Zhen Huan also spoke up, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say something. If what the maid named Fuling said is true and Sister Mei is really not pregnant, then if she keeps it a secret from Your Majesty and she fails to give birth when the due date comes, Your Majesty will still find out. How will she deal with it then?"

"Your Majesty, my sister has always been cautious in her actions. She would not dare to and would not lie about such a thing."

Cao Qinmo advised, "I know that Miss Wan and Miss Shen are as close as sisters, so I naturally believe in Miss Shen's character. But now that the evidence is here, Miss Wan should stop speaking for Miss Shen, so as not to upset the emperor."

The emperor glanced at Cao Qinmo coldly, and said to Zhen Huan in a serious tone: "Huan Huan, this matter has nothing to do with you, please don't interfere."

Sister Mei was afraid that her affairs would implicate Huan'er, so she held her arm and shook her head gently, signaling her to stop talking.

After a while, Zhang Mi came, but Liu Bin was nowhere to be seen.

The emperor ordered Zhang Mi to take Mei Zhuang's pulse, and Zhang Mi found that she was not pregnant.

Everyone was shocked. The Queen asked, "Doctor Zhang, did you take the wrong pulse?"

Zhang Mi shook his head and replied, "I can't guarantee anything else, but I have never made a mistake in taking a pulse."

The emperor took a deep breath, pointed at Mei Zhuang and asked, "You, do you have anything else to say?"

Sister Mei closed her eyes tightly. She remembered the day when Huanbi reminded her that there was something wrong with Liu Bin. After testing her, she also had doubts in her heart. She originally wanted to change a royal physician to attend her, but Liu Bin suddenly told her that she was pregnant. She was so happy that she put the matter behind her. It seemed that this mistake would lead to eternal regret.

Oh, yes, she finally remembered the prescription and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Liu Bin once gave me a prescription, saying that if I follow the prescription, I can get pregnant."

The emperor asked his maid to look for it, but she couldn't find it.

The emperor was immediately furious, pointing at her and scolding her: "Lady Shen, I have seen that you have always been dignified and steady. The Queen Mother specially sent a golden hairpin from the palace because you were pregnant. You actually faked pregnancy to win favor, deceived me and the Queen Mother, and dared to wear this hairpin every day to show off in the market!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he pulled out the hairpin, and Sister Mei's hair scattered in front of everyone.

At this time, Huanbi suddenly came over. She saw that something was wrong and knew that Sister Mei's prescription had been lost. So she sneaked out, ran back to Bitong Academy, took the prescription she had copied, and handed it to Zhen Huan.

Zhen Huan walked forward a few steps and told the emperor that she had also copied the prescription and handed it to the emperor for review.

The emperor asked Zhang Mi to look at the prescription and found that there was indeed no problem.

She knelt on the ground and pleaded with the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, Sister Mei has always loved you, and you also value your sister. Sister is an upright person and always acts cautiously. She would not use a fake pregnancy to win favor. Even if she asked the imperial physician for this prescription, it was to regulate her body and give birth to children for your majesty as soon as possible.

I have to say something disrespectful. Given your appearance, character, family background, and your friendship with the Emperor, even if you are not pregnant for a while, the Emperor will still dote on you. There is really no reason for you to take such a big risk to win his favor.

I think the problem lies with the imperial physician Liu Bin. I ask His Majesty to send someone to find Liu Bin immediately and clear Sister Mei’s name.”

The emperor took a deep breath and thought about what Zhen Huan said. At this time, Xiao Xia Zi suddenly came to report that Prince Guo saw a suspicious person outside the Old Summer Palace. He seemed to have serious knife wounds on his body, and he didn't know what to do.

Huanbi recalled that in her previous life, Liu Bin was assassinated by someone sent by Concubine Hua but failed. Could it be that he was caught this time? She had a strong premonition that the person was Liu Bin.

The emperor was worried at the moment, and when he heard that someone was stabbed outside the Old Summer Palace, he immediately woke up and asked, "Have you found out who that person is?"

Xiao Xiazi replied, "Prince Guo said that the man's hands had a strong smell of medicinal herbs, and he guessed that he was a doctor. Prince Guo is not allowed to enter the inner palace, so please tell me, Your Majesty, how to deal with that person?"

After hearing this, Huanbi concluded that the man was Liu Bin. Even Concubine Hua looked a little panicked when she heard that the man might be a doctor. She blinked in panic and gently clutched the handkerchief with both hands.

Huanbi noticed that Concubine Hua was acting strangely and became a little anxious. If Concubine Hua knew that Liu Bin was not dead, she would definitely send people to kill him by any means possible, and then Sister Mei would have no witness. No, she had to find a way to find Liu Bin as soon as possible. To find him, she had to find Prince Guo first.

The emperor told Xiao Xia Zi to let the imperial physician treat the man first.

Then he looked at Mei Zhuang and Zhen Huan and said, "What Lady Wan said makes sense, but we haven't found Liu Bin yet. We can't prove that Shen was framed, nor can we prove that she faked pregnancy to win favor. I have no choice but to confine Shen to her house first and then make plans."

"As for Fuling, he shall be beaten to death!"

The emperor knocked on the table as he spoke, with a deep meaning in his eyes that even the queen couldn't figure out.

When Cao Qinmo heard the result of the treatment, she curled her lips with pride, while Hua Fei on the side couldn't help but twitch her mouth a few times. She had a bad premonition in her heart.
