Chapter 130 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today
Chapter 130 The Imperial Concubine is Using Her as a Shield Again Today
The imperial physician hadn't arrived yet, but the emperor came first.
When the Emperor heard that all four of his concubines had vomited, the Imperial Concubine suspected it was an epidemic and ordered all the imperial physicians to come over.
A secret excitement rose within me.
It's good that there's an epidemic; it would be best if even the Imperial Concubine got infected.
Ideally, everyone would die from their illness.
They died of the plague, and no one can be blamed for it.
"How is Consort Yue today?"
"Consort Yue went to pay her respects to the Imperial Concubine today."
The emperor suddenly stood up and knocked over the teacup.
"What did you say? Consort Yue is with the Noble Consort? Wasn't she told to rest properly? Didn't she ask for leave? She's so weak, why did she go to pay her respects to the Noble Consort?"
"Your Majesty, if Consort Yue continues to suffer from a cold, the Noble Consort will personally lead the imperial physicians to treat her."
"The Imperial Concubine is going too far. So what if I didn't pay my respects to her? She's really putting on airs like the Empress!"
The Emperor was furious with the Imperial Concubine, but even more worried about Consort Yue's current situation.
Consort Yue's health has not yet recovered. What if she gets infected if there is a plague?
The Emperor immediately went to Fengzao Palace.
"His Majesty has arrived."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."
Everyone bowed to the Emperor.
The Emperor felt heartbroken looking at Consort Yue's pale face.
But I couldn't go up and show my concern.
"Rise, all of you." The Emperor walked to the front and sat down.
"Please sit down, everyone. I heard that the Imperial Concubine has summoned the imperial physicians. What has happened?"
"Your Majesty, I made crab roe pastries to entertain my sisters, but they kept vomiting in front of my crab roe pastries."
The younger sisters said they were all feeling a little unwell.
A few days ago, my sister Consort Yue also caught a cold, so I was thinking of asking the imperial physician to take a look at my sisters.
Otherwise, if my sisters leave vomiting like this, they'll think it's my fault.
"You did very well," the Emperor said, his words carrying no real meaning.
The Emperor's mind was entirely on Consort Yue, but in front of others, he had to appear close to the Imperial Concubine. At this moment, he only dared to glance at Consort Yue out of the corner of his eye.
The imperial physicians arrived in a grand procession.
Seeing that the Emperor was also there, and all the concubines were present.
It seems like nothing's wrong, except that Consort Yue's face is rather pale. They were all summoned here to treat Consort Yue's illness.
The emperor looked very unwell, and no one knew what the situation was, so they dared not make any rash moves.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has arrived. Please examine the sisters to see what's wrong."
And what about Consort Yue? Let the imperial physician take a look at her too.
"Consort Yue seems to be fine now. It's more important to check on Consort Xian and the others to find out why they vomited."
The Emperor ordered the imperial physicians to examine the pulses of the four consorts, and also instructed the head physician to take a pulse for the Imperial Consort, to show his respect for her.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is well."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Consort Xian is pregnant."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Consort De is pregnant."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Consort Shu is pregnant."
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Consort Jing is pregnant."
The emperor was so frightened by the first sentence that he stood up.
He congratulated the emperor four times in a row, which terrified him.
How is that possible? How could she be pregnant?
He did touch them last month, but only once, and afterwards he made them drink contraceptive soup.
How could she possibly be pregnant?
They've all gotten pregnant.
There had never been any such accidents before, but this month has been full of them one after another.
Just like Consort Yue, so too were they.
Is it possible that this contraceptive soup will stop working after a while?
Oh, right, Consort Yue.
The Emperor looked at Consort Yue.
Consort Yue never expected that she would actually hear the news of their pregnancy.
The Emperor had clearly promised her.
He said he wouldn't let anyone else get pregnant.
Now, there are four of them all at once.
Four children.
Consort Yue thought of her child.
The Emperor said that her child cannot be born, but other people's children can be born, right?
Consort Yue's already pale face turned even paler.
He was swaying precariously.
The Emperor could tell from Consort Yue's expression that she was very sad.
I really want to hold her in my arms and comfort her right now.
But they were far apart.
He couldn't possibly care about Consort Yue at this time.
Now, he should be concerned about others.
"Are you sure they're all pregnant? Check them carefully."
It's quite a coincidence that all four concubines are now pregnant.
The imperial physician dared not be careless and immediately examined the patient again more carefully.
The four women, including Consort Xian, also treated the situation with great care at this time.
It's crucial to determine whether it's a pregnancy pulse or not; this is something that can't be wrong.
"Everyone else, please leave now and don't stand around here."
The Emperor dismissed the others and sent them away first.
The main concern was that something might happen to Consort Yue, and they didn't want her to continue suffering here.
The other concubines looked at the four consorts with envy.
They do wish they had such good luck.
But the emperor didn't touch them last month, so they couldn't possibly be pregnant.
I have no choice but to leave now.
The imperial physicians carefully examined the pulses of the four concubines again and even exchanged physicians.
The result was that they were both pregnant.
The four concubines were overwhelmed with joy, realizing they were pregnant.
They had been in the palace for quite some time, but they had never conceived.
I don't know how many fertility-inducing drugs I've taken, but there's still no sign of pregnancy.
I can't believe it's finally here.
That's fantastic news!
But there was also bad news: someone else was pregnant with her too.
It is unknown who will give birth to the emperor's first prince.
The four concubines were exchanging glances.
The Emperor's heart had already flown away with Consort Yue.
He instructed the hospital director to take good care of everyone's pregnancy before leaving.
He needs to go see Consort Yue right away.
As for this matter, we'll figure out a solution later.
Seeing the undisguised smiles on the faces of the four concubines, the emperor felt very uncomfortable.
He would absolutely not allow these children to be born.
They don't deserve it.
These children are destined to be buried with him and Consort Yue's children.
"Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty leave like this? My sisters are pregnant, didn't Your Majesty even offer any thanks?"
Jiang He watched the Emperor's departing figure and said in a sarcastic tone.
When the four concubines heard Jiang He's words, they felt that she was unhappy and deliberately trying to provoke them.
After all, the imperial concubines hadn't even had the pleasure of serving the emperor, while they were already pregnant—that's a huge difference.
"Now that you are pregnant, you should all go back and rest well."
From now on, you don't need to come and pay your respects anymore.
If anyone gets hurt in my Phoenix Palace, I cannot bear the consequences.
Take good care of yourself during your pregnancy. I don't know much about this kind of thing, so just take good care of yourselves.
If anything happens, remember to consult the Emperor or the imperial physician.
"Head Physician, now that all four of my elder sisters are pregnant, the Imperial Medical Academy must prioritize their needs and ensure they are well cared for."
The best is yet to come; this scene has now come to an end.
Jiang He then sent everyone away.
Get ready for the next scene.
