Chapter 187 What does the Empress Dowager think?
Chapter 187 What does the Empress Dowager think?
The sound was like thunder from the purple golden hammer, the sky collapsed and the earth caved in!
Everyone present showed expressions of shock, astonishment, disbelief, and confusion.
Even Concubine Hua, who always liked to speak straightforwardly, forced herself to show off her acting skills.
"What do you mean you're not pregnant, doctor? What are you talking about?"
Concubine Qi once again did not learn her lesson and was the first to jump out.
Maybe not letting her talk would be more painful than killing her?
Everyone in the field had different expressions, but Shen Meizhuang definitely had the most interesting expression.
After disbelief came anger, mixed with a hint of panic.
She thought she heard wrongly.
What do you mean she is not pregnant? She is obviously pregnant!!
The Queen Mother slapped the armrest and asked:
"What do you mean by that? Isn't Concubine Shen two months pregnant?"
If she is not pregnant, then is the imperial physician who was in charge of her pregnancy dead?
Can't find anything?
The Queen Mother seemed very angry, but in her heart she had already believed this result.
As a veteran in palace fighting, she could see that Shen Meizhuang was being plotted against.
The imperial physician also told them the results of their discussion.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen's pulse is stable and there is no sign of slippery pulse. The reason for the abdominal pain is that the yin energy is heavy, and the menstruation is coming..."
"As for why the previous imperial physician did not diagnose this, I do not know."
If you want to find someone, go find Liu Bin. We are just a group of innocent and poor imperial physicians who know a little bit of medical skills.
I can't bear to take the blame!
Yongzheng had regained his expressionless face and turned to Su Peisheng and said:
"Go, get the doctor who was in charge of the treatment!"
Su Peisheng nodded in agreement. In fact, he had already gone to find Liu Bin when he asked the imperial physician.
After learning that he had taken leave to go home, we sent people to his home to look for him.
I believe there will be results soon.
Yongzheng has already looked at Shen Meizhuang.
"What else do you have to say."
This cold attitude made Shen Meizhuang feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.
At this moment, she could not even sit still, and her stomach, which had calmed down earlier, began to hurt again.
She subconsciously touched her belly, but then realized that she was not pregnant.
Yes, not pregnant.
So it is she who is in pain, not her child...
This news was like a bolt from the blue to Shen Meizhuang. It made her dazed and speechless.
"What are you doing sneakily?!"
Su Peisheng's questioning came from outside the door, and Cao Qinmo's anxious heart finally settled down a little.
Good, things are going very smoothly.
As long as the palace maid insisted that Shen Meizhuang was faking her pregnancy, the charge would be established.
As for what the emperor said about capturing the imperial physician named Liu Bin, the people of the Nian family had already taken action.
There should be no evidence now.
Soon, a palace maid was brought in by a eunuch, holding something in her hands.
As soon as she came in, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I didn't do anything. I just went to get some clean clothes..."
This person is naturally the bribed Fuling.
After begging for mercy twice, she pretended to let something slip and said that it was Shen Meizhuang who asked her to hide the things.
The package was opened, revealing blood-stained clothes.
All the concubines in the field turned their heads away and didn't look at the thing, thinking it was something dirty.
Shen Meizhuang was angry and ashamed, she stood up and said sternly:
"You are talking nonsense! I never asked you to hide these things, how dare you frame me!"
She was almost unsteady on her feet as she spoke, and she felt dizzy from anger.
Everything that happened today was so sudden, from great sorrow to great sorrow and then to great sorrow again...
A series of accidents left her with no time to deal with them.
But at this moment, Fuling had already completed her accusation against her and insisted that she had staged a fake pregnancy in exchange for a promotion.
Shen Meizhuang was not good at this kind of sophistry, and now she was so anxious that she was speechless.
"Your Majesty, please believe me, I am innocent.
Someone is definitely framing me, Your Majesty!"
Shen Meizhuang wanted to seek refuge with the emperor, but Yongzheng only said:
"How do you want me to trust you?"
Everything requires evidence, so how can he trust the other party?
Do you believe that she is too proud to do these things?
But you can't judge a person by his appearance, and he can't read his mind.
Yongzheng looked indifferent, not even showing much anger.
The initial worry about the child disappeared when the imperial physician reported it.
Since she is not pregnant, she is still the unfavored concubine.
He always treats those who are not favored equally.
Hearing the emperor's question, all of Shen Meizhuang's words were stuck in her throat.
She wanted to say that she was stupid and fell into someone else's trap. She was dumb and didn't realize whether she was pregnant or not.
But it seems useless to say all this. The only person who can prove her innocence seems to be Liu Bin.
At the beginning, I insisted that he take care of my baby because he was from the same hometown as me.
Now it seems that the person behind the scenes took advantage of this to make her complacent and careless.
Shen Meizhuang fell to her knees, no longer able to defend herself.
Zhen Huan hurried forward and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I believe Sister Mei would not do such a thing. Please investigate it clearly!"
She knelt there, knowing in her heart that it was useless for her to intervene.
If it was his younger sister Huanbi who came, it would be almost the same, the emperor would definitely listen to her.
It's a pity that she didn't come today, and even if she was here, she might not help Sister Mei to plead for mercy...
Yongzheng was already impatient to stay here. He felt that Shen Meizhuang was not bold enough to fake a pregnancy.
But since things have come to this, he doesn't mind demoting the other party.
Who made her unlikable?
The gold hairpin worn next to her bun was dazzling no matter how you looked at it.
But on second thought, he turned his gaze to the Queen Mother beside him.
"My Queen Mother, what do you think about this matter?"
The empress dowager sitting next to them looked very unhappy.
I thought to myself, what can I do? I’ll just sit and watch!
She was the one who promoted Shen Meizhuang, and even had a conflict with the emperor because of this.
The results of it?
The promised child was gone, and she was framed for a fake pregnancy.
She would rather the other party had a real miscarriage at this time!
It's better than nothing.
Now that the emperor asked her this, it seemed like he was seeking her opinion, but in fact, he was murdering her!
This is a reminder to myself to take a good look at who I have promoted.
It looks good but is not practical.
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and looked at Shen Meizhuang who was looking at her with hope in her eyes. It would be a lie to say she was not disappointed.
"I also think this matter is suspicious and must be thoroughly investigated. It is better to wait until Liu Bin is found before discussing it..."
The Queen Mother had no choice but to continue.
She had just promoted the other person two days ago, she couldn't demote him now.
Moreover, the main evidence is unclear, so isn't there still a chance to overturn the verdict?
Can't draw conclusions so early!
For some reason, when Yongzheng saw her like this, he even felt like laughing.
