Chapter 546 Good News

The emperor felt that he had bad luck recently and nothing he did was successful!
The old lady of Duke Chengguo’s Mansion has been seriously ill for almost a month, but she is still alive and well. No one knows when she will die!

General Xu resigned, but isn't there another Xu Rui? Don't think that just because he is in the capital, he doesn't know how the people at the border evaluate the two father and son. They say they are soldiers and generals of Dayong, but they are actually calling the Xu family!
The soldiers in the military camp only knew Duke Chengguo and the Crown Prince, but not the Emperor!
They all forgot that no matter how good a general is, he is still a subject!
The emperor had suspected that his plan had been known to Duke Cheng, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was impossible. He only sent his confidants to do these things, and it was absolutely impossible for his confidants to betray him and join Duke Cheng's mansion.

So in the end he could only attribute it to the good luck of the Chengguo Mansion, which allowed them to dodge one thing after another.

But the more this happened, the more annoyed I became.

Could it be that even God is helping Duke Chengguo's Mansion and thinks he did something wrong?

No, he was not wrong! It was Duke Cheng who was too successful! It was them who didn't take him, the emperor, seriously!

Dayong has been peaceful for many years, and as a general, he should take the initiative to hand over the military power. However, Duke Cheng and his son firmly hold on to the military power. What else can this be but ulterior motives?
Since he has two minds, you can't blame him!

The secret guard was still kneeling on the ground. He didn't know how long it had been before he heard the emperor say, "You step down first and clean up your mess!"

After the secret guard left, the emperor thought about it and still felt uneasy, so he called out another secret guard and asked, "Is there anything unusual about Duke Cheng today?"

The secret guard answered honestly: "No."

The emperor suspected that no one would suspect Xu Muhua. In his mind, a woman could not accomplish anything great. In addition, Xu Muhua had not done anything suspicious after entering the East Palace. She behaved as simple and innocent as ever. The emperor did not take her seriously at all.

Xu Muhua's greatest use to the emperor is as a chess piece. It would be best if he could compete with the Crown Princess for favor and drag the Chengguo Mansion into the drama of seizing power. Only in this way would there be a chance to get rid of the Chengguo Mansion.

But what Xu Muhua did during her time in the Eastern Palace made the Emperor doubt whether he had made a wrong move. He wanted her to compete with the Crown Princess for favor, and it would be best if they fought to the point of bloodshed, but he didn't let her be as close to the Crown Princess as sisters!

If the emperor was not sure that Xu Muhua just played with some small animals all day and had no one useful around her, he would have suspected that she had noticed something.

So even if the emperor had any doubts about what happened tonight, he would not suspect Xu Muhua.

"Where is the Prince of Chengguo?"

"The prince is just like usual. Today he is the groom and he is much happier than usual. But everything is normal, just like any other married man."

After confirming that there was no problem with Duke Cheng's Mansion, the Emperor had to believe that the person he had found was too unreliable. He ran to a brothel at the critical moment and was immediately killed by a woman in the brothel, ruining his plans!

I’m afraid there won’t be any suitable opportunity next time!
It's not that the emperor had never thought about letting the old lady die without anyone knowing, but after the old lady fell ill, Lady Chengguo had to do everything herself, so it was really difficult to do it.

He waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat, but he refused to give up and started to think about it. The next morning, Xu Muhua received the news from the little intelligence agent and learned that the emperor had been furious in his bedroom last night.

"This old man wants to attack my grandmother!"

Xu Muhua snorted coldly, "In his eyes, other people's lives are not lives, they can be destroyed at will. You have to help me keep a close eye on him, and don't let him hurt my grandmother."

In fact, my grandmother's health has almost recovered now, but she still concealed it from the public and said that there was no significant improvement. As for the imperial physician in the palace, well, it's not that difficult.

There is indeed a great risk if the emperor is not informed of the situation. If the emperor knows about it, the doctor will lose his life. However, the emperor is in the palace. As long as the doctor himself does not tell anyone and the people in the Chengguo Mansion do not tell anyone, how can the emperor know the old lady's condition?

Everyone has some secrets that may not be exposed to the public, and the imperial physician is no exception!
If she didn't listen to them and help conceal the old lady's illness, she would immediately send evidence against the imperial physician to the palace. In this way, the imperial physician would have no chance of survival.

The imperial physician himself knows best which option has a greater chance of survival.

She also knew that the imperial physician was innocent, but weren't the people in the Chengguo Mansion innocent? Since everyone was innocent, why not cooperate and help each other? They had no grudge against the imperial physician, so they didn't want the imperial physician to die, right?
Since his weak spot was discovered by someone, the imperial physician who came to treat him had no choice but to go along with the corrupt official.

Except for the first time he returned to the palace and lied to the emperor, when the imperial physician was so nervous that he was sweating, he gradually became numb and things became more and more natural.

The emperor really did not expect that the imperial physician he sent to investigate would dare to betray him, so that he was kept in the dark and thought that the old lady was really seriously ill!

Everyone in the Chengguo Mansion had already discussed that when Xu Rui got married, they would let the old lady get better slowly, and say that Xu Rui's marriage was a success. No one dared to say that such a mysterious thing would not work. It was just that no one could believe what they said.
When the newlyweds came to meet their parents-in-law, Xu Muhua, the married sister-in-law, also came to join in the fun, sat aside and gave gifts. She did not leave until the sun was high in the sky before she returned to the East Palace.

I didn’t expect to hear good news as soon as I returned to the East Palace!

"Arong, are you serious? Are you really pregnant?" Xu Muhua was pleasantly surprised.

Pei Shaorong's face was full of shyness and anticipation. "Well, I asked the imperial physician to check last night. It's just that it hasn't been long, so the pulse is not very strong. But the imperial physician also said that it is basically certain that she is pregnant."

Xu Muhua clapped his hands happily, "This is good news! No wonder you've been complaining about feeling unwell and having no appetite lately, so that's why!"

"I didn't expect to get pregnant suddenly." She thought she was just having stomach discomfort recently, but she never thought she was pregnant.
It was only last night when the prince came back to have dinner with her and saw that she looked listless that he insisted on calling the imperial physician, and that’s when he discovered it.

She herself was a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she should have asked the imperial physician immediately, instead of thinking that she was just feeling unwell and would be fine in two days.

Fortunately, Pei Zhen’s problem has been resolved, otherwise if something went wrong, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
