Chapter 534: Blame and Take the Blame

"So how did Concubine Pei's baby disappear? It couldn't have been caused by my Tiger, right? Tiger?" Xu Muhua deliberately asked Tiger, "Tiger, it wasn't you who killed Concubine Pei, right?"

But Tiger Cub roared after hearing her words, as if in response, and hugged his doll even tighter!
Hey, this is something only it has, I don’t even have it!

"Concubine Pei, you keep saying that the Crown Princess hated you because of the conflict between them in the past and was jealous that you were pregnant with the emperor's grandson first, so she wanted to harm you. But the Crown Princess didn't push you, and she didn't poison you or anything, so how come your child is gone?"

"Now we know that this doll is Tiger Cub's toy, not the evil spirit that everyone is worried about." Xu Muhua said, turning to face the emperor, and asked sincerely: "Father, this shows that there must be something else going on! The child couldn't have died without any harm, and the East Palace didn't do anything to Concubine Pei. I think the problem lies with the child. Please ask Imperial Physician Liu to come and check Concubine Pei's pulse again!"

As Xu Muhua spoke, he secretly paid attention to the reactions of King Qin and Pei Zhen.

A trace of panic flashed across Pei Zhen's face, and she subconsciously glanced at King Qin. Seeing that he didn't react, she also calmed down.

Xu Muhua sneered secretly.

You feel confident that everything is under your control, so you are not worried at all, right?

My dear King Qin, your good days are over today!
Xu Muhua said she didn't understand at all.

The Li family fell, and Prince Qin had no support from his mother's family. Although Princess Qin was also born into a wealthy family and her father was a high-ranking official in the court, she was also implicated in the Li family's affairs, and had been doing things with her tail between her legs for the past two years.

Concubine Li died again in the palace, and the foundation of the king's loyalty was cut off. The emperor finally let go of the Li family's affairs and thought of his son again. He didn't behave like a rich and noble prince, but was thinking about doing something unnecessary all day long. Isn't this just courting death?
People are prone to being mean. When life gets better, their hearts become wild and they start thinking about making trouble, and they won't stop until they get themselves killed.

Things have come to this point. The emperor is not really stupid and he has figured out what happened today.

His somewhat disappointed look fell on King Qin, which instantly made King Qin's back feel cold. His hands hanging at his sides couldn't help but clenched, and his facial muscles also tensed up.

The emperor sent someone to call Imperial Physician Liu over.

Imperial Physician Liu is responsible for the emperor's daily health checks and is also the most skilled and best imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Before Liu the Imperial Physician came over and had time to salute, the Emperor said, "Liu the Imperial Physician, go and take a look at Concubine Pei."

Concubine Pei, Imperial Physician Liu certainly knew about it.

Probably the biggest happy event in the palace recently is that the concubine who serves the prince is pregnant, and it is very likely that it is a son.

Before coming here, he also heard about what happened in the East Palace today. He knew that Concubine Pei had a miscarriage and the baby was indeed a boy.

What a pity.

"The minister obeys the order."

Imperial Physician Liu walked towards Pei Zhen.

Pei Zhen seemed to hesitate for a moment, and at the signal from King Qin, he slowly stretched out his wrist.

Imperial Physician Liu took her pulse and concentrated his mind, and everyone's eyes were on the two of them.

Although the king was confident, he still felt a little nervous. After a long while, Imperial Physician Liu withdrew his hand, and quickly stood up and walked back to the center to reply, "Your Majesty, I have carefully examined Concubine Pei's pulse and found it is consistent with that of a pregnant woman who has had a miscarriage. She is deficient in Qi and blood."

Prince Qin and Pei Zhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"However, I have also discovered that there seems to be a drug left in Concubine Pei's body. This drug can change the pulse of a pregnant woman for a short period of time, making the fetus look like a healthy fetus. Once the effect of the drug wears off, the fetus's true appearance will be exposed, and..."

The emperor's face was gloomy at this time, "And what? Just say it!"

"And it will cause a spontaneous miscarriage, which cannot be prevented. This medicine is only grown in Pishan Country, and cannot be grown in Dayong."

Prince Qin and Pei Zhen's faces changed drastically.

Prince Qin reacted quickly and stood up excitedly, "Liu Imperial Physician, are you saying that the reason why I lost my child is because Concubine Pei used some kind of medicine?"

Imperial Physician Liu answered honestly: "I would like to speculate that Concubine Pei's baby might not be saved from the beginning, so this medicine was used."

Liu Yuyi doesn't care about the fights between the princes and the crown princes. The emperor asked him to take the pulse, so he said whatever he saw from the pulse. He is the emperor's imperial physician, and he only needs to be loyal to the emperor.

"This is impossible!" Pei Zhen also became excited. "The imperial physician said that the baby in my belly is very healthy! I haven't taken any medicine. I only drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by the imperial physician! Someone must be trying to harm me. It must be like this!"

Zhao Chengye stood up and said, "Father, I heard about this, so I went to the Qinwang Mansion before entering the palace and ordered people to search. Finally, I found a package of medicine in Concubine Pei's room. I brought it here and asked Imperial Physician Liu to take a look and everything will be clear!"

King Qin suddenly turned his head to look at him, without even having time to hide the surprise and shock in his eyes.

Pei Zhen was stunned for a moment, but she immediately calmed down after thinking about something.

Yes, she took the medicine, but she threw away the rest! She scattered it in the pond with her own hands!

The emperor looked at Zhao Chengye solemnly and said, "Present it!"

Zhao Chengye's men quickly brought the medicine.

Without the emperor's order, Imperial Physician Liu opened the medicine package, sniffed it first, then put some on his tongue with his finger to taste it, and finally nodded: "Your Majesty, this is the medicine!"

Pei Zhen opened his eyes wide in horror and blurted out: "Impossible! I clearly peed it in the pond!"

There was silence in the hall!
After coming to his senses, the color on Pei Zhen's face instantly disappeared and he was on the verge of collapse.

"Snapped!"

Xu Muhua shuddered, reached out to touch his face, hissed secretly, and looked at Pei Zhen with sympathy as he was slapped to the ground by the King Qin.

Look, the King Qin is starting to pass on the blame! Pei Zhen is starting to take the blame!

"You bitch! You actually concealed such an important matter, and dared to use medicine privately to deceive everyone. Finally, you ran to the Eastern Palace to frame the Crown Princess. How could you be so cruel! You told me that you wanted to resolve the conflict between you and the Crown Princess, so I advised you to go to the Eastern Palace more often. I didn't expect you to have such an idea!" King Qin scolded Pei Zhen in disappointment.

"You really disappoint this king!"
