Chapter 207 Concubine Hua left without looking back
Wei Lin's voice wasn't too loud, but it shocked everyone in the room.
The emperor's first reaction was not to have Ling Xiang carried back to Zhongcui Palace to be well taken care of, but to look at Hua Fei suspiciously.
Hua Fei's eyes were filled with shock and sadness, and the Emperor felt relieved when he saw her expression.
"Are you really pregnant?" the emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty, Miss Ling is indeed pregnant."
Wei Lin felt that what happened that night had burned out his CPU.
First, things didn't go according to the previous plan. The princess actually had a fever, and I had to come up with the lines on the fly while I was treating the illness.
How much and what did the princess eat to cause constipation and high fever?
Wei Lin thought about everything he had planned with Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin before, and did not dare to ask any more questions. He could only bite the bullet and give the princess acupuncture to reduce her fever.
Then the emperor came, and Wei Lin had to act out the “I just arrived too” scene. This was indeed the truth, and no one informed him that the plan had been brought forward.
Fortunately, I just told the emperor, and also told Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin the truth. The princess just had a high fever caused by overeating and constipation, not an epidemic.
Wei Lin, who thought he could retire successfully, encountered another incident where a woman from Lingguan fainted.
Wei Lin felt that since the storms had already come to an end tonight, this simple additional question should not have an easy ending. He had already thought about where to insert the needle to wake the Lingguan girl up, but when he took her pulse, he found out that the Lingguan girl was pregnant!
But why did the emperor not show any joy at all when his concubine became pregnant, but instead became even more suspicious?
Wei Lin didn't understand, nor did he dare to understand, so he could only tell the truth about what he found out from the pulse diagnosis.
"Su Peisheng, find a sedan chair to carry Lingguan's daughter back to Zhongcui Palace and take good care of her." The emperor ordered calmly.
Ling Xiang, who fainted on the ground, moved her eyelids slightly. She wanted to pretend to faint to gain sympathy, but she didn't expect that she was actually pregnant.
Ling Xiang was extremely overjoyed, but she dared not show it, otherwise she would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
Xiao Xiazi and a few others carefully put Ling Xiang on the sedan chair and carried her back to Zhongcui Palace.
In the west wing hall of Changchun Palace, the only people left were Ding Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and Concubine Hua, Concubine Qi, and Concubine Xin.
The emperor watched Ling Xiang's figure disappear at the door of the west wing hall, then turned his gaze over.
"Ahem." The emperor cleared his throat. "I have my own decision on what happened just now. We cannot trust everything this maid says. First, lock Dingxiang up in the Ministry of Punishment and have someone guard her. When the queen's health improves tomorrow, the queen and I will make a decision."
"Doctor Wei, please prescribe medicine for the princess as soon as possible. As for the guards at the gates of the palaces, they can be withdrawn now." The emperor twisted the beads in his hand and ordered one by one, "I will mention this matter to the queen tomorrow. The habit of guards taking advantage of their power to accept bribes must not be allowed to continue."
Hua Fei, Qi Fei and Xin Changzai obviously did not want to say nonsense like "The Emperor is wise".
The purpose of using only a little force to achieve a great result is just for the piece of meat in Ling Xiang's belly.
"Well, I know. What about the two guards at the door?" Su Peisheng sensed the resentment of the three ladies and quickly added a sentence.
"Beat him to death." The emperor put away the beads in his hand, stood up and returned to the Yangxin Palace.
Even if Xin Changzai wanted to save Dingxiang, she was powerless now and could only wait a few days and think of a solution.
Today's game was full of surprises. First, Linglong really had a high fever, and there happened to be no one on duty in the Imperial Hospital. Then, Lingxiang turned out to be pregnant.
Ling Xiang is pregnant, and with only Ding Xiang's one-sided story, it's hard to make a conclusion.
And the toys that were contaminated with the plague had already been burned by himself.
Let’s wait until Linglong recovers from her illness before we do anything else.
When Linglong had a high fever just now, she really thought that Linglong had contracted the epidemic due to her negligence. Later, Wei Lin came, and she was relieved by Wei Lin's expression.
However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The tears that Concubine Xin shed were genuine enough that even if there were other spies in the palace, they would have been deceived.
Wei Lin wrote out a prescription, and the wet nurse quickly boiled the medicine and gave it to Linglong to take.
An hour after taking the medicine, Linglong's fever subsided, her stomach and intestines reacted, and she let out a lot of anger in the official room, and her body felt almost better.
Concubine Hua stayed on guard in the west wing hall until Linglong woke up and cried out that she was hungry, only then did she feel relieved.
After a few questions, the matter became clear.
Although Fuzi had already revealed to Concubine Hua that Lingxiang and Dingxiang from Changchun Palace were planning to attack the princess, Concubine Hua and Concubine Xin came up with the strategy of "luring the enemy into a trap" and directly confirmed Lingxiang's guilt in front of the emperor.
As for Dingxiang, Xin Changzai realized that she might have been coerced only when she saw her replacing the toys that had the epidemic.
After Dingxiang left the house and returned to Changchun Palace, she asked the palace maid Xiuhe beside her to explain the truth to Dingxiang. She also told Dingxiang that she could tell the truth if the emperor came later.
What I never expected was that Ling Xiang was pregnant.
As for Linglong, Xin Chang originally planned to give her a few hot water bottles to make it look like she had a fever, but who would have thought that she actually had a fever!
"Linglong, what's going on?" Xin Chang asked Linglong in a serious tone why she was constipated.
Just now, Xin Chang was asking Wei Lin why Princess had a fever. Wei Lin inferred from her pulse that it was because she ate too much! She ate too much meat and too few vegetables, which caused her stomach to become blocked!
Because of the epidemic, Linglong and Xinchangzai have been eating alone recently, and only the wet nurse knows what Linglong has eaten all day.
Concubine Hua looked at Linglong leaning against the head of the bed, twisting her two chubby fingers, and she knew that Linglong must have been picking out her favorite meat for every meal recently, and probably hadn't touched any vegetables at all.
Children's stomachs are delicate and they don't have a bowel movement every day, so they naturally develop a high fever.
Linglong just lowered her head and said nothing, leaving enough room for Concubine Xin and Concubine Hua to imagine and explain her high fever.
"I'll go back first." Concubine Hua felt that Concubine Xin's momentum was not right, so she chose to leave first. Otherwise, she was afraid that "the fire in the city gate would affect the fish in the pond."
"Empress Hua!" Concubine Hua walked out of the West Hall without looking back and returned to the Yikun Palace.
As for Linglong, Xin often asked her to copy the Three Character Classic ten times and the Thousand Character Classic ten times after she recovered from her illness to help her memorize it.
As for what to eat these two days, of course it’s vegetables!
Concubine Hua couldn't bear to see Linglong suffer, so she asked Lingzhi to think of a way to improve the princess's "hard" food.
In the morning, Lingzhi cooked some chicken, mushroom and vegetable porridge and sent it to Changchun Palace. At noon, she served the princess a bowl of hot vegetable and chicken noodle soup. The noodles were made of vegetable noodles mixed with spinach juice.
In this way, Linglong no longer has to eat all kinds of leeks every day.
"Sister Lingzhi, you are so kind!"
Linglong slurped a big mouthful of chicken noodle soup with tears in her eyes.
