Chapter 130 Confrontation
An Lingrong did not take the sedan chair, but walked over slowly, and Su Peisheng did not rush her.
He kept persuading her not to get angry.
Xiao Dongzi, who followed behind, saw his master's fawning behavior and quickly squeezed next to An Lingrong.
"Your servant, Xiao Dongzi, pays homage to Her Majesty the Consort Shu. Her Majesty is kind and always thinks of the palace servants below. The servants in her chambers all remember this in their hearts."
"You are too polite, Eunuch Dong. This is all I can do."
Su Peisheng was watching beside her, so An Lingrong couldn't say too much to this little eunuch.
According to Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Dongzi is devoted to eating and drinking and doesn't have any big ideas.
If you have too much contact, it will attract the attention of your superiors, and that will not be worth it.
Su Peisheng looked at his stupid disciple who kept chattering in front of Concubine Shu and glared at him fiercely.
Later, he couldn't stand the noise of his stupid apprentice anymore, so he hit him hard from behind.
He apologized to An Lingrong.
"I have failed to discipline my subordinates. Please forgive me, Madam Concubine Shu."
"Eunuch Su, Eunuch Dong is very talkative. I am very happy to listen to him."
As soon as the fat son Hongzhan saw her, he kept saying "Ahhh".
An Lingrong did not lie, but the simple-minded Xiao Dongzi mistakenly thought that Concubine Shu was making excuses for him, and his favorable impression of Yonghe Palace immediately increased a lot.
As soon as they entered the Yangxin Palace, everyone remained silent.
An Lingrong gave Baoque and Baoge a soothing look, and slowly climbed the stairs with Su Peisheng.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"Excuse me, Concubine Shu."
An Lingrong straightened up and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty summoned me to the Yangxin Palace, is there something you want to tell me?"
The emperor, with an indecipherable expression, glanced at Concubine Ke and spoke calmly.
"Kepin came to me and said there was something wrong with your dragon fetus. Do you have anything to say?"
When An Lingrong heard this, tears started streaming down her face and she knelt on the ground with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."
Then she turned to the stunned Concubine Ke and questioned her in a deep voice.
"Sister Kepin, I have never offended you. Why are you slandering me so?"
Concubine Ke was stunned because she didn't expect the emperor to throw her out with just one sentence.
Seeing how useless she was, the queen gently reminded her.
"Sister Shufei, don't get excited. Be careful of the dragon fetus in your belly."
Left you behind? Right!
You are trying to please me in front of the emperor.
With tears streaming down her face, An Lingrong looked at the Queen pitifully.
"Sister Queen, even you don't trust your sister?"
"I often hear you say that the sisters in the harem should live in harmony, and I truly regard you as my sister."
As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks again.
The Queen looked at An Lingrong, who was crying without ruining her makeup, and spat inwardly.
"This enchanting woman still hasn't forgotten to seduce the emperor at this moment. She is really not worthy of being on the stage."
But her face showed kind comfort.
"Please rest assured, Sister Shufei, the Emperor will make a wise decision on this matter."
"If my sister behaves properly, she won't be afraid of even the slightest doubt."
This does not mention how to deal with those who slandered her.
The Queen was vague about this, but An Lingrong was unwilling to let it go.
"Your Majesty, I have always been diligent in my duties since entering the palace."
"Now that I am being suspected for no reason, please, Your Majesty, help me."
When she said this, her eyes remained on Concubine Ke.
Annoyed by her gaze, Concubine Ke pointed at An Lingrong's belly without any hesitation.
"Your Majesty, look, Concubine Shu's belly is less than five months old and is actually bigger than the belly of this concubine who got pregnant first."
"I have reason to suspect that Concubine Shu has something to hide."
The emperor's eyes swept over the two people's stomachs, and he looked at An Lingrong with a sullen face.
"Shufei, Concubine Ke is suspicious about the dragon fetus's month and pregnancy status. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty, as the Empress said, I am upright and have no fear of any questioning."
She was pregnant with twins, so her belly was naturally much bigger than if she was pregnant with a single baby.
The emperor is suspicious. Even if Concubine Ke doesn't jump out at this time, he will secretly cause trouble.
It would be better to follow the Queen's wishes and expose this matter to the public.
"Your Majesty, since Sister Shufei says so, why not ask the imperial physician to examine her?"
The Queen's thoughtful advice left An Lingrong no chance to exploit any loopholes.
Concubine Ke also had a rare moment of inspiration, and she reported loudly.
"Your Majesty, I request that you please invite the imperial physician who treated Concubine Shu here as well."
In her opinion, if the doctor concealed the fact that there was something wrong with Concubine Shu's dragon fetus, then there must be something wrong with the doctor as well.
Maybe the dragon fetus in Concubine Shu's belly is the imperial physician's.
The more Concubine Ke thought about it, the more it made sense.
The emperor, who was completely unaware of the gloomy expression on his face, was above him.
"Su Peisheng, send Wei Lin and Zhang Wuwei over here."
The two who received the news hurried over, and as soon as they finished paying their respects, the emperor stared at the honest and simple Wei Lin.
"Doctor Wei, you are highly valued by Concubine Shu and have been responsible for her dragon fetus. Has there been any abnormality with the dragon fetus recently?"
Wei Lin noticed the tense atmosphere in the hall. He glanced at Concubine Ke, who was also pregnant, and vaguely guessed that Concubine Shu might be in trouble.
So he bowed calmly and replied.
"Your Majesty, I have indeed noticed something unusual about Consort Shu's dragon fetus, and have been searching ancient books for the cause these days."
"So, have you found anything?"
The Queen and Concubine Ke pricked up their ears, fearing that they would miss any crucial information.
"I suspect that the Concubine Shu is pregnant with more than one dragon fetus."
"really?"
The emperor, with an empty seat, stood up excitedly.
No matter whether Concubine Shu's baby is a boy or a girl, it is worth his anticipation.
"Your Majesty, I have never come across a pregnancy like this before. This is just speculation."
"I have heard that Imperial Physician Zhang has a profound family background in medicine. I wonder if I could have the honor of observing him?"
Wei Lin directly pulled Zhang Wuwei, who was standing in a posture, in.
Only the loyal imperial physician Zhang could personally diagnose the case and silence everyone in the palace.
The emperor gave orders quickly.
"Su Peisheng, show Concubine Shu a seat."
"Zhang Wuwei, quickly show it to Concubine Shu."
The clever Su Peisheng personally moved a chair and placed it next to An Lingrong.
"Madam Shufei, you are still pregnant, please sit down and rest for a while."
The emperor strode into the hall, took An Lingrong's hand and pushed her onto the chair.
The queen, who was still standing, immediately frowned, and her mind was racing as to how to deal with the dilemma before her.
If it is true that Concubine Shu is pregnant with twins, then the Emperor will definitely blame Concubine Ke.
Of course, he would also vent his anger on her who came hurriedly.
Feeling anxious, she moved closer to An Lingrong and watched Zhang Wuwei take her pulse in silence.
Twins are extremely rare, and Zhang Wuwei had only heard of them from his grandfather and father.
He carefully held both of Concubine Shu's hands.
"Reporting to the Emperor, the pulses on both sides of the Concubine Shu are very rapid, which is indeed different from that of an ordinary pregnant woman."
"I dare to speculate that the Concubine Shu is pregnant with twins, but it is difficult to tell whether it is a boy or a girl at the moment."
"Okay, okay! Rong'er, thank you for your hard work."
An Lingrong wiped away her tears with a smile.
"It is a great blessing for me to be able to bear children for the emperor. How can it be hard?"
"It's just that I would like to ask for a favor for the sisters in the harem. Please grant it, Your Majesty."
