"My Lord, are you okay?"

In Xianfu Palace, Caiyue looked at Shen Meizhuang worriedly.

Not long ago, Shen Meizhuang suddenly felt nauseous and then started vomiting violently.

Although Caiyue knew that this might be normal morning sickness for pregnant women, she felt very distressed when she thought that her young lady would have to suffer for so long.

"fine……"

Shen Meizhuang's voice sounded weak, but she still waved at Caiyue, indicating that she was fine.

At this moment, another little palace maid ran in from outside and said to Shen Meizhuang, "My lady, Imperial Doctor Liu is here!"

"Doctor Liu?"

When Shen Meizhuang heard Liu Bin's name, her brows furrowed.

As for checking Ping An's pulse, Liu Bin had just come the day before, so he shouldn't be so diligent.

Therefore, Shen Meizhuang felt that the other party's intentions were suspicious.

"My lady, just take a rest. I will go meet the imperial physician."

Caiyue wanted to share Shen Meizhuang's worries, so she sent the little palace maid away without waiting for Shen Meizhuang to say anything.

"But……"

The little palace maid looked at Caiyue who was standing in front of her, then looked at Shen Meizhuang who was still lying on the bed, her expression seeming a little hesitant.

"what happened?"

Caiyue was the senior maidservant beside Shen Meizhuang after all, and she always considered Shen Meizhuang and put her first in everything. Seeing this little maid dawdling here, she immediately frowned and said, "The young lady wants to rest now, are you going to disturb her?"

"The slaves dare not!"

The little palace maid really didn't want to leave like this, but Caiyue had already said so. If she insisted on staying here, not only would she not be able to explain herself clearly, but it would also appear that she had ulterior motives.

Thinking of this, the little palace maid no longer dared to express any dissatisfaction to Caiyue, and instead retreated.

"Caiyue, you..."

Shen Meizhuang looked at Caiyue, who rarely showed her strong side, and felt a little surprised at this moment, and was about to speak.

"My lady, I know what you are going to say, but it is more important for you to rest and not waste your energy on these things. I will take care of these chores for you."

Caiyue smiled at Shen Meizhuang, said a few words to comfort her, and then walked out.

After closing the door, Caiyue took another deep breath and prepared to meet Liu Bin.

However, Caiyue did not expect that she would see Liu Bin who walked in on his own initiative when she was only halfway there.

Caiyue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Doctor Liu?"

Liu Bin came in on his own. He was already feeling a little weak in his heart. Suddenly, someone called him from the side. He was startled and almost jumped up from the ground.

"What? It's Miss Caiyue!"

Liu Bin calmed down and saw that the person who called him was Cai Yue. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your sudden shout scared me to death!"

"Should I be the one saying this?"

Caiyue looked at Liu Bin, who seemed to be guilty of something, and said unhappily, "Doctor Liu, even if you are the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, you shouldn't enter Ci Ju Tang without the consent of our young master! What if you offend someone? Even if you don't, it will be embarrassing if someone sees you acting so sneaky!"

Liu Bin felt guilty to begin with, so when Caiyue started to blame him, he did not talk back.

But after hearing the rest, Liu Bin realized belatedly that he was being scolded by a palace maid?

Realizing this, the embarrassed look on Liu Bin's face disappeared, and was replaced by a look of dissatisfaction and anger.

"Miss Caiyue, even though you are someone close to Concubine Shen, it is a bit too presumptuous to speak like this!"

Liu Bin said this angrily, and then was about to bypass Caiyue and rush in directly.

Caiyue would not tolerate his behavior, so she still stood in front of Liu Bin and said unhappily, "Doctor Liu, even though I am just a servant, I serve Lady Shen. Doctor Liu is going to break into the inner hall of Cunju Hall without permission. Aren't you afraid of offending the lady?"

"I……"

Liu Bin originally wanted to argue, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by the voice of Concubine Jing.

"What happened?"

Jingpin brought people to Cunju Hall, looked at the two people who were in a stalemate, frowned, and asked: "Caiyue, what are you doing?"

Cai Yue replied respectfully, "Madam Jingpin, Imperial Physician Liu suddenly came to Xianfu Palace and barged into Cunju Hall without notifying us. The young lady has already gone to rest, so I intercepted him. I didn't expect that Imperial Physician Liu would be furious!"

As soon as Caiyue said this, Liu Bin's expression changed immediately.

"Madam Jingpin! I am here to check on Concubine Shen's pulse, not to barge in recklessly. But this girl is indiscriminate and her words are outrageous. I do not want to get entangled with her, so..."

Liu Bin tried hard to find a suitable excuse for himself, but the more he spoke, the more cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what Caiyue said just now.

Even if Liu Bin prepared a sufficient reason, Shen Meizhuang was not about to give birth right away. Since human life was at stake, etiquette and rules could be put aside for the time being.

If he just wanted to check my pulse, why was he so anxious?

Liu Bin had made up this excuse in a panic, but now that things had come to this point, he didn't know how to justify it.

"Okay, stop arguing. I think I understand."

Jingpin of course sided with Shen Meizhuang. She also knew that Caiyue was Shen Meizhuang's confidant and would definitely not do anything bad to Shen Meizhuang.

Now, Jingpin saw Liu Bin standing there hesitating, so she said directly: "Doctor Liu, there is nothing wrong with you checking the pulse of Concubine Shen, but Caiyue just said that Concubine Shen is resting now, do you still want to force your way in? Besides, Concubine Shen is the master, how dare you be so presumptuous!"

Jingpin always appeared amiable in front of others, but now her words were cold and harsh, with a hint of anger between her brows, which shocked everyone.

"Yes...I was reckless!"

Facing the rarely angry Jingpin, Liu Bin quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Jingpin, you don't know the inside story. Please listen to me. I heard that Shen Guiren has had severe morning sickness recently. I think the pregnancy-preserving medicine I prescribed before is no longer suitable for Shen Guiren's current constitution. So I want to further diagnose Shen Guiren and prescribe new medicine for her. It's also my fault that I didn't explain clearly, which led to Miss Caiyue's misunderstanding!"

Liu Bin did have some quick wits. He had just lost his composure due to his guilty conscience, but now that he had calmed down, he naturally came up with a more foolproof excuse.

It was indeed rude of him to try to break in by force, but if it was because he was worried about Shen Meizhuang's health and the royal heir in her belly, then everything was understandable.
