The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 530: Fake Pregnancy to Win Favor
The imperial physician kneeling on the ground hurriedly greeted Yinzhen, but he did not dare to raise his head. Yinzhen did not care and just glanced at him.

The imperial physician was none other than Liu Bin. As they were from the same hometown as Concubine Shen, he always responded to Concubine Shen's requests. He eagerly looked for a prescription for Concubine Shen, saying it was a secret remedy for having a child.

Concubine Shen used the secret prescription, and indeed, she was diagnosed with pregnancy after more than three months.

Liu Bin greeted Yinzhen, and told him that Concubine Shen's pregnancy was safe, then he was about to leave.

Yinzhen nodded, but heard a voice coming from outside.

"Doctor Liu, please stay."

Immediately afterwards, the voices of palace servants greeting were heard, and it was Nian Shilan who arrived.

After the snowstorm, Nian Shilan was wrapped in a silver fox cloak, with lambskin flower pot soles under her feet and an exquisite gold hand warmer in her arms.

Cai Xing Cai Yue opened the thick gilded door curtain, and only then did she see Wen Xianqing following behind Nian Shilan.

Liu Bin looked at Wen Xianqing in some surprise, then quickly lowered his head to greet Nian Shilan.

Nian Shilan said with a smile.

"Please stand up, Imperial Physician Liu. I heard that Concubine Shen was very happy, so I came here to congratulate her.

I heard that you have been the one who took care of Concubine Shen's health. I will definitely ask the Emperor to reward you well."

Songzhi and Lidong had already taken off the silver fox cloak for Nian Shilan and went outside to dust off the snow.

Liu Bin felt relieved after hearing what Nian Shilan said and laughed dryly.

"It is my duty to serve Lady Shen. Lady Shen is also very lucky.
Only when the time is right, the place is right, and the people are right, can one be pregnant with a dragon fetus."

Nian Shilan glanced at Liu Bin lightly and ignored him. She only brought Wen Xianqing to pay respect to Yinzhen.

For some reason, Concubine Shen always felt a sense of fear towards Nian Shilan since the first time she met her.

Now that he saw Nian Shilan, he felt a little nervous for no reason.

She greeted Nian Shilan and stood behind Yinzhen.

Yinzhen smiled.

"It just snowed, and the roads are slippery and hard to walk on. Even if you want to come and see Mei'er, you should wait until the snow melts.

But you came at the right time. I was just about to discuss something with you. Mei'er has been serving me for many years.
I thought that now that she is pregnant, I would like to promote her to a higher position, so I have proposed the title of Huipin. What do you think?"

Nian Shilan sat down, took the hot tea offered by Caiyue, and smiled.

"It's not easy to find a pregnant concubine in the palace. I know that the emperor is very happy.
I am also happy. The palace servants have already cleared the palace path, and I am here in a sedan chair.

It's not cold. When I came in, I found that Lady Shen's room was also very warm.
I didn't feel the coldness of winter at all, it actually felt like spring.

Concubine Shen is gentle and virtuous, and she deserves the title of Concubine Hui.
Why not His Majesty choose an auspicious day and promote Concubine Shen to a higher position, which will also show His Majesty’s great favor.”

Nian Shilan took a sip of tea and continued.

"I heard that this noble lady Wan rarely gets close to anyone, so she prepared a delicious feast.

She invited several concubines from the palace to join in the fun. I think Lady Wan was afraid that I would feel constrained by them.

I didn't tell you. But I didn't expect that Shen Guiren would have a bad mouth during the banquet.
When the palace maid came to report, I thought that Concubine Shen had eaten something harmful.

Then another palace maid came and said that Concubine Shen was pregnant, and I hurried over because I was so happy. "

Yinzhen and Concubine Shen looked at each other and smiled triumphantly.

"Your ears are so sharp. I arrived just before you arrived.

Since you are here to congratulate Mei'er, I wonder what good things you brought?"

Nian Shilan pretended to be slightly angry and frowned.

"I just arrived, and the emperor is already thinking about my things on behalf of Sister Shen.

I am just offering you something from the Emperor, and am sending it to Sister Shen."

Yinzhen smiled even more happily and said to Concubine Shen.

"Look, this is my imperial concubine. She is always using my rewards to do favors. She is so stingy." Concubine Shen smiled shyly.

"Your Majesty is joking. The Imperial Concubine is also joking with you. The Imperial Concubine is always generous.
How can I be stingy? I have been in the palace for three years, and it is all thanks to the appreciation and promotion of the Imperial Concubine."

Yinzhen turned to Nian Shilan and urged her with a smile.

"Mei'er is speaking well of you. Let me see what flowers you have borrowed."

Lidong lifted the door curtain, and four palace maids came in one after another.

They were all holding plates in their hands, filled with all kinds of precious silks and treasures, which made Yinzhen's eyes narrow.

"Well, you are worthy of being my concubine."

Concubine Shen hurriedly thanked Nian Shilan, and Nian Shilan smiled.

"Don't worry, today Imperial Doctor Wen is here to check the pulse of me and the princess.

I am thinking that although Lady Shen's pregnancy has been confirmed by Imperial Physician Liu,
But Doctor Wen is an excellent doctor, and it would be better if he could take care of the patient together with Doctor Liu.

It's just that I made the decision on my own, and I don't know what the emperor thinks. "

When Concubine Shen heard that Wen Xianqing had also come to take her pulse, she was naturally happy.

Yinzhen also nodded.

"What Shilan said makes sense. Doctor Liu doesn't look familiar to me. Mei'er just said that he has only been in the palace for half a year.

Since Imperial Doctor Wen is here, please feel Mei'er's pulse again to see if she needs to avoid certain foods or something like that."

Wen Xianqing took Concubine Shen's pulse and gradually frowned. He shook his head in disbelief and asked Concubine Shen to stretch out her other hand.

When Yinzhen saw Wen Xianqing's expression, he also began to doubt.

"Doctor Wen, what's wrong with Concubine Shen's fetus?"

Lady Shen was also extremely nervous, and without caring about anything else, she went straight to the point.

"Yes, Doctor Wen, but what's wrong with my child?"

Wen Xianqing withdrew his hand from taking the patient's pulse and bowed to Yinzhen.

"Your Majesty, I was afraid that I had made a mistake, so I examined both wrists.
But they didn’t find any signs of pregnancy, but they did find out that Concubine Shen had used medicine to delay her menstruation.”

Yinzhen understood clearly that she was not pregnant, but used drugs to make it look like she was pregnant.

He was furious. How dare they deceive him!
The table was slammed so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up, Yinzhen said.

"How dare Shen fake a pregnancy to gain the emperor's favor! This is intolerable!"

Concubine Shen fell to her knees, almost suffocating in panic. She didn't understand. Liu Bin had just said that she was pregnant, but after the examination by Imperial Doctor Wen, it turned out that she was faking pregnancy to win favor.

There must be something wrong with this!

Tears were already streaming down Concubine Shen's cheeks.

"Your Majesty, I did not fake my pregnancy to win your favor! Please see clearly!"

However, Yinzhen was so angry that he overturned all the things that Nian Shilan had brought to the ground.

"I favor you, and you dare to lie to me!"

Concubine Shen was about to defend herself, but was stopped by Nian Shilan.

"Your Majesty, calm down. Concubine Shen has always been diligent and self-disciplined.

I don't believe that she can fake pregnancy to win favor, so it would be better for Your Majesty to ask her again.

Lady Shen's health was taken care of by Imperial Physician Liu, and it was also Imperial Physician Liu who diagnosed her pregnancy.

Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to get Concubine Shen's pulse record and take a look. Perhaps we can get some clues."

At this moment, Concubine Shen was wondering how Concubine Hua came by chance and brought Doctor Wen with her. She was also eager to defend herself and said hurriedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for believing in me! Your Majesty, I am truly wronged!"
