"Whether I am really pregnant or not, please ask the imperial doctor to come here for a diagnosis and you will know." In fact, Su herself was not sure, but judging from the retching in the past few days and the delay in menstruation, it was very possible.
She was really pregnant. So, she put all her bets here, hoping to save her life. Only by surviving would she be qualified to think about other things.
Ling Ruo pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of caution, it is better to send the imperial physician to diagnose Su's pulse."
Hongli also had the same idea and immediately ordered the palace officials to ask for the imperial physician. The imperial physician on duty tonight was none other than Song Zihua. After the latter learned of the purpose of his coming here, he immediately diagnosed Su's pulse.
Mrs. Su looked at Song Zihua nervously and kept praying in her heart, if she gets pregnant, she doesn't want to die, she wants to live.
As soon as Song Zihua took back his hand, Ling Ruo said, "Mr. Song, is Su really pregnant?" Not only Ling Ruo, everyone was eager to know the answer, including Su herself.
Song Zihua cupped his hands and said, "If I return to the Queen Mother, the pure concubine is indeed more than a month pregnant."
This sentence disrupted the calculations of everyone except Su. Xianyue glanced at Su who was secretly excited and happy. There was indescribable complexity in her eyes.
"What should we do now?" Cai Ling asked A Luo next to her in a low voice. Her face was extremely ugly. She was about to achieve her goal, but something like this suddenly happened. It was really hateful.
A Luo just recovered from the accident, shook his head and said: "I don't know, I have never thought that something like this would happen. In this situation, there is nothing we can do, so we should wait and see."
Cailing nodded helplessly. Hongli, after whispering a few words to Ling Ruo, said: "For the sake of the Su family being pregnant with a dragon heir, I will temporarily forgive his death penalty, seize the title, and be imprisoned in Yikun Palace."
No one is allowed to come in or out. We will deal with it after the baby is born." He could be ruthless towards the Su family, but he could not be ruthless towards his own children, especially since he has so few heirs now.
Su Shi just breathed a sigh of relief when Hongli's next words immediately made her heart twitch, "Since Su Shi is no longer a concubine, she is no longer qualified to raise the third elder brother. Go and take care of the third elder brother immediately."
Bring her here and wait until dawn before taking her to the Queen's palace."
Su Shi naturally didn't want to, but now she had no right to refuse, so she could only remain silent and let the palace officials take her away.
With her departure, the matter that had been going on for half a night came to an end. Seeing Ling Ruo's tired look, Hongli immediately said: "Empress, you have worked hard for so long and you are tired too. Please support me."
You go in and have a rest, it's all because of my fault that I disturbed your rest."
Ling Ruo waved her hands and said, "Nothing, the most important thing is to find out the truth and don't wrongly accuse innocent people. Just have Shuixiu and the others to wait on you at the Ai family. You have to go to court early tomorrow, so go back and rest."
"Yes, I'll leave." Hongli bowed and left. When he passed by Xianyue and Cailing, he said, "Go back."
The two agreed and followed Hongli out of Cining Palace. When he saw Xianyue about to leave, he called Xianyue and said, "I will go back with you."
Although Cai Ling was dissatisfied, she did not dare to show it in front of Hongli. After they had gone far, she said angrily: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Master, if the Su family is convicted, the Nala family will definitely be spared from the cold palace. She has been imprisoned for so long for no reason, and the emperor will inevitably feel distressed. You don't have to worry too much."
It's okay that A'luo didn't speak, but when he did, Cai Ling immediately remembered what happened just now, and said angrily: "It's all your fault that what happened today is like this. If you hadn't kept delaying it, how could Su's pregnancy be possible?
How can one escape death?"
Speaking of this, A Luo felt even more depressed than she did, and said aggrievedly: "I also want to be on the safe side, but I didn't know that Su would be so lucky to be pregnant with a dragon seed."
Cai Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, no one could have imagined that she would be so lucky. Giving birth to a third brother was not enough, and she was pregnant with another one, but I kept asking for it and never got it. God is really unfair."
"Don't worry, Master, even if Su Shi really escapes death because of this child in her belly, she will spend the rest of her life in the cold palace and can no longer hurt you."
Hearing this, Cai Ling's face brightened slightly, she yawned and said, "Okay, help me go back. I've been working for most of the night. It's really tiring."
Before leaving, Cai Ling glanced in the direction where Hongli and Xianyue left, her expression still a little unwilling.
On the other hand, Xianyue and Hongli walked on the same road, but they didn't say anything to each other. They were like strangers, each going his own way.
Halfway through, Hongli suddenly took Xianyue's hand and said, "Where are you going?"
Familiar temperature, familiar touch, everything was so familiar and did not become strange due to separation. At that moment, Xianyue almost shed tears just like when she stepped into Cining Palace. Fortunately, she held back this time
, said in a low voice: "I will naturally return to the cold palace."
"There is no need to go back. From tonight, you can return to your Yanxi Palace to live." Facing Xianyue's surprised gaze, she said, "I will resume your position as Concubine Xian after dawn tomorrow."
Xianyue did not show joy as he expected, she broke away from Hongli's hand, shook her head calmly and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but it is better for me to live in the cold palace."
Hongli had never heard of anyone voluntarily staying in the cold palace. He was so stunned that Xianyue had already walked a long way. He quickly caught up with Xianyue and grabbed Xianyue again, saying: "Are you angry with me?
no?"
Xianyue stopped and turned around with a touch of sarcasm, "The emperor is the supreme king of a country. How dare you be angry with the emperor if you are a slave with a sinful body?"
Hongli said a little guiltily: "I didn't know that Su was so cunning. The only people who came into contact with Yonglian's braid that day were you and A Luo, and combined with the previous incident, I mistakenly thought that it was you who wanted to harm Mingyu.
"
"What happened in the past..." Xianyue chuckled and said: "When I was hiding in the residence, the emperor came to see the slave and said that the past things were forgotten and wiped out. It turned out that was not the case at all. Everything was firmly remembered in the emperor's heart and he had never forgotten it.
Pass. In the heart of the Emperor, slaves will always be
They are all that cruel and ruthless Nala Xianyue who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. It’s funny that the slave had always naively thought that the emperor had really forgotten the past. But this cannot be blamed on the emperor. It is the slave himself who is not good.
This slave has done those things before."
Her words made Hongli feel more and more guilty, and said: "I was so angry that I started talking about it, and I didn't really keep it in my heart. Both I and Huang Aniang know that you have changed a lot over the years, and you are no longer the same person.
Xianyue before, but after what happened this time, I am more sure. Xianyue, can you continue to stay with me? "
