Chapter 220 How could Concubine Rong be 2 months pregnant?
When she met Jingse, Yan Wanru seemed to see her mother, Langya, for a moment.
Langya is beautiful but not vicious enough. Jingse is different. Jingse is a poisonous scorpion that grew up in venom.
"Princess, are you here to congratulate Lady Rong as well?"
Yan Wan did not mention a word about how Zhao Jiuxiao was almost killed by Jingse just now. The smartest thing Zhao Jiuxiao did today was not to talk nonsense. In order to protect himself, he said that the emperor and Rong Pei had a secret affair. Even if he kept his innocence, he would probably end up like those little eunuchs.
Even though she knew that scorpions could hurt people, she had no guarantee of success, so Yanwan would never engage in a head-on battle with Jingse.
Her eyes swept over Lan Cui, and she saw that she didn't show any dissatisfaction, which comforted Yan Wan.
Her maids were of the same mind as her.
Jingse was displeased by Yanwan and Lancui's calmness, but she tried her best to suppress her displeasure. She didn't expect to be able to pull Yanwan down anyway.
"Yes, Madam Rong is very happy, so Jingse naturally came to congratulate her. Not only did Jingse congratulate her, she also brought the imperial physician with her."
"I remember that the imperial physician Bao who diagnosed your Majesty's pulse was an expert.
Li Yu went to invite her over and took Rong Guiren's pulse. It was good to let the emperor know that the heir was healthy early, and he was happy. "
As soon as Jingse said this, Yanwan understood that Jingse was going to drag her into the water.
Yanwan opened her lips slightly. Before she could say anything, Rong Pei spoke anxiously.
"Princess, Princess, I know my body is fine."
Yan Wan was so focused on Jing Se that she forgot about Rong Pei, the person who should be worried.
Rong Pei looked anxious and so nervous that her lips trembled slightly.
If the imperial physician really took her pulse, her secret would be exposed.
"Rong Guiren, please don't forget your status. You are no longer the Empress's servant, but the Emperor's noble lady.
The emperor specially gave you the title "Rong" because he loves you so much.
You have to change all those habits you had before."
Seeing Rong Pei's nervousness, Li Yu stepped forward and helped Rong Pei to go to the inner hall, not letting Rong Pei speak.
Yanwan and Jingse followed behind them. Jingse could vaguely see Rong Pei's trembling body.
Jingse curled her lips and smiled:
"Li Yu is right, Empress Rong. You are the Emperor's noble wife. The Emperor said that he would promote you to a concubine after you give birth to a child."
"If you are lucky, you can give Jingse a little brother and make him a concubine or a noble concubine. It's just a matter of time."
"Li Yu, serve Madam Rong well."
Jingse spoke very slowly, word by word.
Rong Pei felt that these words were like knives, cutting her, but Li Yu still held her tightly. Rong Pei's body was shaking like a sieve.
He mumbled:
"Thank you very much, Eunuch Li."
Perhaps because she had never been a master before, Rong Pei almost stood up to salute Li Yu. But when she was halfway up, she felt something was wrong, and she was neither sitting nor standing.
The more Li Yu saw Rong Pei like this, the more polite he became to her:
"It is my great honor to serve you."
Jingse's smile did not reach her eyes.
"Madam Rong, Meixiang and I are both slaves, so please don't be polite to Li Yu."
"Your Highness, the Emperor is so respectful to you, you won't be disrespectful, right?"
Wei Yanwan should have figured it out. Her words that Meixiang and her sworn brothers were all slaves were not just meant to humiliate Rong Pei. I hope Wei Yanwan remembers her identity.
Don't be shameless.
If it were the former Yanwan, Jingse’s ridicule would have made her annoyed and angry, but she, Wei Yanwan, is no longer the same Wei Yanwan as before.
Yanwan still had a pleasant expression.
"Princess, I understand that the emperor loves Concubine Rong. But if Doctor Bao and the princess's doctor diagnose Concubine Rong's pulse together, who will take care of Concubine Rong's pregnancy and prescribe medicine?
It may be inappropriate for two imperial doctors to prescribe medicine together."
What Yan Wan said was reasonable, but Jing Se just ignored it. She was prepared for what Yan Wan said.
The eye was on Li Yu.
"What the imperial concubine said is even better. I have a good idea. Why don't you two imperial doctors diagnose the pulse together? After all, this is a matter of the heir to the throne and we can't be careless about it.
If a concubine is pregnant, her pulse must be checked several times.
Today, Doctor Bao is only checking on the heir to the throne, and in the future, the princess's doctor will take care of Concubine Rong."
"I'll just ask the imperial physician Bao for once, and I'm sure your Majesty will be willing to do that."
Li Yu was talking to Yan Wan and didn't notice the frightened Rong Pei.
Before Yanwan could reply to Li Yu, Rong Pei suddenly fainted.
Rong Pei's sudden fainting was really bad for Yan Wan, as it meant that Rong Pei could not refuse the pulse check. Yan Wan lost another helper.
Yanwan gritted her teeth and wanted to make something of Rongpei.
"Rong Guiren has fainted. Why don't we ask for his pulse another day? I think what Li Yu said makes sense. It would be a safer bet to invite a few more imperial doctors another day."
Since Jingse is not afraid of calling more people, Yanwan wants to see if she dares to call other people.
Jingse didn't want Rong Pei to faint, which gave Yanwan a chance to talk, and there was a look of displeasure in his eyes. But in a flash, Jingse smiled slyly again.
Following Jingse's smile, Yanwan saw Doctor Bao.
"Your Highness, it is better to choose a day than to set the day.
The imperial physician is here, there is nothing more to say."
Jingse was not discussing with Yanwan at all. It was obvious that she was taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss with Yanwan to make a secret move.
Jingse didn't even give Yanwan a chance to interact with Doctor Bao. When Doctor Bao came in, she pulled Yanwan aside to talk, and asked Li Yu to talk to Doctor Bao about pulse diagnosis.
"Doctor Bao, we are old acquaintances. You are second to none in the Palace of Wonderful Hands."
"The Emperor has just appointed Consort Rong. Princess, please take a look at the baby in your belly."
Li Yu led Doctor Bao to check Rong Pei's pulse.
Doctor Bao nodded repeatedly, and Yan Wan paid some attention to it, but it was of no use.
After making sure that Yanwan had no chance to collude secretly with Doctor Bao, Jingse went over and talked to Doctor Bao.
"Doctor Bao, you know that matters concerning the royal heir cannot be taken lightly.
Please take my pulse carefully. If anything happens, I'm afraid it won't just be Doctor Bao's reputation that will be ruined."
"My Lady Ling, don't you think so?"
Yan Wan understood now. Jing Se had set his sights on Doctor Bao today.
Doctor Bao has been carefully cultivated by Yan Wan for many years, and almost the entire Imperial Medical Bureau is in the hands of Doctor Bao. If Doctor Bao is gone, Yan Wan will suffer a heavy loss.
The situation was serious and Yan Wan was in a passive position.
Doctor Bao seemed to have sensed something was wrong, and his hands seemed to be shaking when he was taking Yanwan's pulse.
Jingse saw Yanwan's anxiety clearly. After watching Doctor Bao examine her, he spoke.
"Two imperial doctors, how many months has the baby in Madam Rong's belly been? Is it a boy or a girl?"
What Jingse asked was a very common question, and Yanwan could not stop Doctor Bao from answering.
Doctor Bao slowly put away the instruments used for taking pulses, and Doctor Li, who was brought by Jingse, followed suit and packed up his things, but he deliberately packed up slower than Doctor Bao.
His slowness makes people feel that time has slowed down.
After he finally finished collecting all the things, he started to act cunningly.
"Doctor Bao, you are the head of the Imperial Hospital, so you should speak first."
Doctor Bao glanced at Doctor Li coldly, then said with his hands behind his back:
"How come there are two..."
"How dare you, Doctor Bao, it's only been a month since Mulan returned from the autumn hunt, how could Concubine Rong be two months pregnant?"
