Chapter 319: Persuading the Emperor to Release Shen Liangdi, a Timely Relief
"Not only did he make up stories last time, but he did this time too. Imperial Physician Wang accepted bribes and helped Concubine Xue to speak up, which led to the scene where Concubine Xue pretended to be unconscious."
Eunuch Ren told the results of the interrogation in detail.
The queen paused, shocked for a long time and did not react. She looked away from the bronze mirror and looked at Eunuch Ren, "Are the interrogation results true?"
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true." Eunuch Ren pointed to the full amount of gold in the hands of the eunuch and said, "This is all the gold that Imperial Physician Wang has received."
The queen raised her eyes and glanced at the tray in the hands of the eunuch, which was full of gold. She slammed the table angrily, "Imperial Physician Wang is so bold. I trust him so much. He dared to accept bribes and make up stories under my nose!"
Eunuch Ren lowered his eyebrows and nodded.
The Queen controlled her anger, "So it's not that Shen Liangdi has a physical problem that makes it difficult for her to get pregnant."
"According to Wang Yuyi's confession, although Shen Liangdi has a cold body, it's not serious and it doesn't hinder her pregnancy. As for why she hasn't gotten pregnant after serving the emperor for so long, it may be due to other reasons." Eunuch Ren said.
The Queen now realized that she misunderstood Shen Chuwei's difficulty in getting pregnant because she believed Wang Yuyi's words.
Although this misunderstanding is not uncommon in the palace, it does not affect the dog emperor's desire to let the prince have equal treatment.
It still wronged Shen Chuwei's child.
"Bold Wang Yuyi, you have no medical ethics. How can such a person be worthy of staying in the Imperial Hospital?" The Queen was furious, "Detain Wang Yuyi and don't hire him in the future."
"Yes." Eunuch Ren responded respectfully.
The Queen also ordered: "Don't make this matter public for the time being."
"Yes." Eunuch Ren then took the order and left.
Seeing the queen so angry, Qingying gently advised: "Queen, don't get angry and hurt yourself."
"Is there such a person around me?" The queen tried to calm her anger, "During this period, Shen Liangdi has been ridiculed a lot."
Qingying carefully tied her hair and gently advised: "Queen, it's not a bad thing to be said that it's difficult to get pregnant. There are endless intrigues in the palace. If everyone thinks that Shen Liangdi is not easy to get pregnant, the threat will be reduced."
The queen said: "That's true, but it's still unfair to her."
"When the prince comes back, Shen Liangdi will be pregnant in the future, and the rumors will naturally be broken." Qingying said.
The queen agreed and said, "That's right. When the prince comes back, I will go and persuade the emperor to release Shen Liangdi."
Qingying has served the queen for decades and knows the queen's preferences very well. After finishing the hairpin, she said in a gentle voice, "Queen, it's done."
The queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She looked very young and bright, but the dog emperor always said that she was old.
Complaining about this and that, so annoying!

At this time, Shen Chuwei was already more than two months pregnant, and her belly was still flat and she didn't look like she was pregnant.
She was just sleepy and loved to eat spicy food.
Chunxi was afraid that Shen Chuwei would get angry, so she strictly required her to eat only a little spicy food and fruit every day.
Shen Chuwei was a person who loved spicy food. If she was suddenly not allowed to eat, she would feel very aggrieved: "I miss your highness."
What Chunxi heard most these days was Shen Chuwei's sentence, "I miss your highness."
If you don't know, you would think Shen Chuwei had suffered a lot of injustice.
Chunxi was sometimes soft-hearted and would turn a blind eye.
As long as Shen Chuwei doesn't go too far.
Concubine Xu has been coming here very frequently these days. Counting the days, it has been more than two months.
Seeing Shen Chuwei lying on the couch, her belly was covered by her dress and she couldn't see it.
She couldn't help but move over and touch Shen Chuwei's belly. It was still as flat as before.
"It's been more than two months, and there's still no reaction."
Shen Chuwei would touch her belly when she had nothing to do. She knew the condition of her belly better than anyone else. She took a bite of the green apple and said, "Wait another month and see."
"Wait another month." Concubine Xu looked at Shen Chuwei with a calm face. She, as a mother, was not anxious, but she, the godmother, was anxious.
A few days ago, Concubine Xu told Shen Chuwei that she wanted to be the baby's godmother.
Shen Chuwei agreed.
"I don't know when His Highness will come back. He has been on the expedition for more than two months." Concubine Xu looked at the bare lotus with boredom. The lotus seeds had grown a lot.
Shen Chuwei thought about the supplies prepared for Xiao Jinyan ten days ago, and wondered if they had been delivered.
This was the bad thing about ancient times. Transportation was really incomparable to modern times. There were only horses and carriages.
If it were modern logistics, it would probably arrive in two or three days.

Border military camp
The enemy did not fight or surrender, but just kept wasting time.
Xiao Jinyan ordered the soldiers to rest for a few days and prepare for the next battle.
In the past two days, Xiao Jinyan's tired body recovered well and got enough sleep.
Three days later, a large number of soldiers were poisoned in the military camp.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the number of poisoned people could not be estimated.
Xiao Jinyan learned that there were at least 4,000 poisoned soldiers, including 2,000 mildly poisoned and more than 2,000 severely poisoned.
But the poisoned soldiers were elite soldiers. They went to the battlefield, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were one against ten.
If these 4,000 people were in trouble, the loss would be very heavy.
He had no medical skills, so he could only worry.
"Where are the military doctors? Haven't they prepared the antidote yet?"
"My lord, the military doctors are preparing the antidote overnight, and there is no news yet." Wei Chi said.
Xiao Jinyan paced back and forth in the tent, and said coldly: "Useless trash."
General Liu strode in, and said in a loud and urgent voice: "It's not good, Your Highness, the military doctor said..."
Xiao Jinyan asked sternly: "What did the military doctor say?"
"The military doctor said that there is a shortage of medicinal materials and the antidote cannot be prepared in a short time. The soldiers who are severely poisoned may be hopeless to be treated." General Liu finished speaking and sighed helplessly.
"I'll go and take a look." Xiao Jinyan strode out of the tent and walked around the soldiers' tents. He looked at the elite soldiers who were invincible on the battlefield in the past, but now they were lying on the bed dying.
Xiao Jinyan frowned, but there was nothing he could do.
He came to the military doctor's tent again, watching the military doctor discussing the preparation of the antidote. Seeing him coming, they all came forward to bow and salute.
"Your Highness."
"In an emergency, these etiquettes can be waived." Xiao Jinyan asked: "When can the antidote be prepared?"
"Your Highness, this poison is very fierce. It is difficult to prepare the antidote at the moment. In addition, the shortage of medicinal materials has not been replenished. I am afraid..." The military doctor did not dare to say the following words, because not only the poisoned soldiers could not be saved, but also the number of soldiers with mild poisoning could not be saved.
Xiao Jinyan also guessed the military doctor's next words, and his face became more solemn.
At this time, Shu Ying arrived safely at the military camp with the supplies prepared by Shen Chuwei.
Knowing that Shu Ying was coming, although he was looking forward to Xiao Jiu's letter, it was just that the current situation made him unable to be happy.
There is another chapter, which will be released soon.
