Chapter 167: Really?

Chapter 167: Really?

  Meng Fuying frowned, looked at the food in front of her, and was slightly stunned. These are her favorite food, and they are all made by Qingzhu herself. How could she?

   "What's the matter?" Xuanyuanye couldn't help asking with a little doubt when he saw that she was in a daze without any movement.

  Every time she eats, her speed is surprisingly fast, as if others are scrambling to grab her. Of course, when she is in the palace, she will slow down appropriately.

   But in the palace, she never cared about anything, and he has gotten used to it, and sometimes even eats quickly like her.

  Looking at a table of food like this, but staring blankly, without any movement, is really strange.

  Meng Fuying raised her eyes slightly and looked at him, with some doubt hidden deep in her eyes.

  In her situation, it really looks like she is pregnant with a baby?

  The retching last time, this time you feel nauseous when you see greasy things?

  Last time, she was indeed a little tired, but recently, she had a good rest and slept more than usual, so there is no reason for her to be tired.

   Couldn't she be really pregnant with a baby? All these reactions are really too similar, too similar.

  However, she doesn't even have a period, so how could she have a baby?

  Meng Fuying secretly denied the thought in her heart.

  In modern times, you can check it out by selling a test strip, but in this ancient time, there is no way, not to mention, she doesn't know how to feel the pulse.

  She knew that Xuanyuan Ye also knew about her physical condition, because when she was unconscious that time, Xuanyuan Ye asked Feng Lingyun to examine her.

  But Xuanyuan Ye kept it from her all the time, so she guessed that her condition might be more serious.

   Later, let’s go to an imperial doctor for an examination, and then we’ll talk.

   "It's nothing." Meng Fuying regained consciousness, said softly, then picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat slowly.

   This time, I did eat very slowly, because my stomach was really uncomfortable, especially when I saw those greasy foods, I felt like vomiting.

  However, she held back and just picked some vegetables to eat.

  Xuanyuan Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and his brows could not help but frown slightly, looking at her worriedly.

  However, although her speed was a bit slower, although she ate some green vegetables, she still ate a lot. Xuanyuan Ye's slightly frowning brows were only slightly opened.

  Prince's Mansion.

Doctor Hu was caught by the guards, and when he walked into the prince's mansion, he couldn't help shaking. He was very clear about the prince's ruthlessness, but he didn't know why the prince arrested him into the mansion at such a night thing?

  No matter what it is, when he enters the Prince's Mansion, he must be careful, otherwise, if he is not careful, he may die.

Entering the room, I saw the prince sitting in the hall, saw him coming in, raised my eyes slightly, and looked at him, with a slight smile on the corner of my lips, and slowly said word by word, "It's such a night, It also alarmed Imperial Physician Hu, please don't blame Imperial Physician Hu."

  His voice was very soft, but it was not as cold as usual, and seemed to be slightly smiling.

  It's just that the body of Imperial Physician Hu trembled even more uncontrollably, he knelt down on the ground hurriedly, and said repeatedly, "I don't dare, but I don't know if the crown prince recruited this minister, what orders do you have?"

  The prince spoke to him in such a tone, which made him feel a little more scared. When has the prince been so polite to others?

   "Actually, it's nothing. There is no need for Imperial Physician Hu to be nervous. I have invited Imperial Physician Hu here just to have a chat with Imperial Physician Hu."

  The smile on the corners of the prince's lips slowly spread away, and the chuckle in his voice became more and more obvious. The voice did not sound dangerous at all, and seemed extraordinarily peaceful.

  If he hadn't known the prince's insidiousness, he might have regarded him as a very amiable person.

   "The crown prince killed the old minister." Imperial Physician Hu was slightly startled, with more doubts on his face, he didn't understand what the crown prince meant? chat with him.

  He is just an imperial doctor, how can he be qualified to chat with the prince.

   I'm afraid the prince wants to get some news from him.

   "If the prince has anything to say, feel free to ask, as long as the veteran knows it, he will never hide it." Imperial Physician Hu thought for a while, and said again, as an imperial physician, he usually treats the emperor and concubines.

  So, he is well aware of the dangers in the harem, but he has never done anything wrong, so he is not afraid of the prince asking.

   "Well, that's very good." Hearing his words, the prince nodded slightly, but his eyes narrowed slightly, hiding something quickly.

  The words paused slightly, the corners of the lips pulled slightly again, and still said slowly, "I heard that you inspected the Seventh Princess a few days ago, is there such a thing?"

  The prince's voice was still extremely soft, but at this moment, it was a little more faintly cold than usual, and also a little more dangerous to make people tremble.

  Physician Hu's body froze suddenly, his eyes opened slightly wide, and he looked at the prince in astonishment, and for a moment, he couldn't help but froze.

  He didn't know why the crown prince would ask about this matter, and regarding this matter, His Highness had repeatedly ordered that he would never tell other people about the situation of the Seventh Princess?

  Physician Hu concealed the astonishment in his heart, lowered his eyes slightly, and whispered again, "Yes, last time, when I was in Heshou Palace, the old minister did check the Seventh Princess."

   "Oh, what's the matter with the Seventh Princess?" The prince's eyes flashed again, and he slowly looked at Imperial Physician Hu, with a hint of threat hidden in his deep voice.

  Emperor Hu was even more astonished, paused slightly, and said slowly this time, "Back to the prince, the seventh princess is in good health, and there is nothing unusual about it."

Although he knew that the consequences of deceiving the prince might be very miserable, he still didn't want to betray His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. What's more, the disease of the Seventh Princess cannot be detected by ordinary imperial doctors, so it is not so easy for the prince. See through his lies.

   "Really?" The prince's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he looked straight at Doctor Hu, in the cold, with obvious killing intent, and his voice was as cold as ice in an instant.

  Emperor Hu's stiff body trembled slightly, and his hand bent on the ground was also slightly retracted. He took a deep breath, but said again, "Back to the prince, yes."

"You should tell the consequences of deceiving me, right?" The sneer on the corner of the prince's lips slowly spread, with a bit of bloodthirsty viciousness, and there was even a bit of a sneer in the eyes looking at the doctor Hu .

   "Old...Chen..." Doctor Hu's body trembled even more, and his voice became stuttering.

  The crown prince snorted slightly when he saw the appearance of Imperial Physician Hu.

  However, his eyes quickly turned away from Taiyi Hu, and shouted to the guards outside, "Bring me up."

   "Yes." The guard responded respectfully, then quickly turned around and left.

  Emperor Hu was secretly wondering, but when he saw the people brought by the guards, he was completely shocked, turned to the prince again and again, and shouted hastily, "Prince, please spare me, please don't hurt them."

"I will give you one last chance. If you don't tell the truth, then I will send your wife and your daughter to **** to wait for you." At this moment, the prince's face no longer had the peace just now. Only the coldness and ruthlessness that make people tremble and frighten.

   Imperial Physician Hu's eyes were full of contradictions and struggles. He really didn't want to betray His Highness the Seventh Highness, but he couldn't just watch his daughter and wife being killed by the crown prince.

   What's more, since the crown prince called him, and asked him such a question, I'm afraid he already knew what was going on in his heart, and he couldn't hide it at all.

   "One." The crown prince saw that Physician Hu was silent, his slightly narrowed eyes became more ruthless, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he counted coldly.

   "Daddy, Daddy..." When did Doctor Hu's daughter see such a scene, she yelled in fright, "Daddy save me, Daddy save me."

  His wife was also trembling with fright, her lips couldn't help trembling, and she couldn't even speak. After all, they had all heard of the prince's cruelty.

  Now, they are caught by the prince like this, I am afraid it is more or less auspicious.

  When Imperial Physician Hu heard her daughter's cry, she couldn't help but feel pain in her heart, and there was more struggle in her eyes.

   On the one hand, his relatives, and on the other hand, His Highness the Seventh. He neither wanted his relatives to be harmed, nor His Highness the Seventh.

   "Two." The prince continued to shout, and in the soft shout, one hand was slightly raised, and there was an undisguised killing intent in that cold voice.

"Three." When the prince shouted three, he raised his hand quickly. He didn't know what he was holding in his hand, but Imperial Physician Hu knew that if the object in the prince's hand was thrown, no matter if it hit his wife, Or her daughters, they will all die,.

  In the eyes of the crown prince, their lives are worthless at all. He knows very well that the crown prince will definitely do this cruel thing.

   "I'll say it, I'll say it." Before the prince's words fell and the thing in his hand hadn't been thrown out, Imperial Physician Hu said hurriedly.

   And in his slightly drooping eyes, there was also a hint of apology. Now, he can only feel sorry for His Royal Highness Qi, but, after all, it was not something that threatened the life of Qidian Xia.

   "Let's talk." The prince's eyes looked at him again, and a slight smile was slowly drawn from the corner of his lips.

   "Princess Seven, she was poisoned when she was a child. Her body is underdeveloped, so she can't bear children." Imperial Physician Hu looked at his wife and daughter at the side, and said with a heavy face.

  The prince's eyes narrowed even more, and in the cold, he became more bloodthirsty. The corners of his lips slowly pulled, and he said coldly, "Poisoned?"

  At this moment, his voice was a bit more terrifying than that from hell. He looked at Imperial Physician Hu and said harshly, "Who poisoned you?"

  In the past, he never cared about other people's affairs, but at this moment, when he heard that it was because she was poisoned that she would not have children, he suddenly couldn't help tearing the poisoned person apart immediately.

   "This, the old minister doesn't know." Taiji Hu's body froze again, facing the prince's appearance, his face was a little more frightened, and he replied cautiously with a slight trembling.

The prince regained his senses slightly, as if he realized that he had lost his composure just now, and when he looked at Imperial Physician Hu again, he returned to his usual coldness, "Okay, you can go back, if half a word of what happened tonight is revealed Don't blame me for being ruthless."

   "Yes, yes." Imperial Physician Hu nodded repeatedly.

  Hearing that the crown prince wanted to let them go back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

   "However, Mrs. Hu, I'd like to do this palace a favor. As for you, I will let you know what to do next." The prince's words suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice again.

  Emperor Hu's heart couldn't help but hang up again, but no matter how scared he was at the moment, he didn't dare to say no, and could only answer again and again, "Yes, yes."

   At noon the next day, Concubine Liu entered Heshou Palace with a solemn face.

   "My concubine greets the Queen Mother," Concubine Liu walked slowly in front of the Queen Mother, and after a slight salute, she still stood there, not intending to sit down, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

   "What's the matter?" Seeing her appearance, the queen mother frowned slightly and asked a little strangely.

   "Back to the queen mother, there is something that I don't know whether I should say." Concubine Liu was stunned for a moment, and this time she slowly raised her eyes, but there was a bit of obvious contradiction on her face.

  The Empress Dowager's face became more and more perplexed, she looked at Concubine Liu with a slight twinkle in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Speak."

   However, there was a slight dissatisfaction in that voice.

  Concubine Liu came here today because she clearly wanted to know her, so why bother to ask what should be said or not.

   However, seeing Concubine Liu's appearance at this moment, one can predict that it may be an extremely serious matter.

"Yes." Concubine Liu replied respectfully, but she paused again, and then said slowly, "Today, the wife of Imperial Physician Hu came to visit my concubine..." Concubine Liu's words were intentional again. He paused, his expression more hesitant.

   It should be said that it is normal for the minister's wife to visit the imperial concubine in the palace, sometimes, or to ask for something.

   It's just that Concubine Liu's expression at the moment is too strange. The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and said again in a deep voice, "Go on."

"Mrs. Hu accidentally said something, which made my concubine extremely uneasy. After thinking about it for a while, I still feel that it is more appropriate to come and tell the Queen Mother." Concubine Liu's face became more serious, and the voice in , with some hesitation.

   "Let's talk." The Empress Dowager's expression became more and more dissatisfied, and she was secretly amused. I don't know which concubine it was about, at most it was about which concubine was killed.

  So, at this moment, in my heart, I actually don’t want to continue listening, but since Concubine Liu just said it, it’s not good to interrupt her now.

"Mrs. Hu said that she also heard about this matter from Imperial Doctor Hu after she was drunk. The matter is very important, and she is also very careful. It's just that the concubine unintentionally mentioned the matter of the Seventh Princess first, and she didn't I accidentally said that I showed my mouth." Concubine Liu looked at the Queen Mother slightly with her eyes, and she was a little more worried in the heavy.

When the queen mother heard that she mentioned Meng Fuying, she couldn't help being stunned, her eyes widened slightly, and she couldn't help asking, "How could it be related to Ying girl, what happened in the harem, what about Guan Ying girl?" thing?"

   "Queen Mother, this is not a matter of the harem, this is a matter of the Seventh Princess." Concubine Liu also opened her eyes slightly, and said with a look of astonishment.

   "What will happen to the shadow girl?" The Queen Mother froze slightly, sat upright quickly, and asked again, but this time, there was obviously a little more worry in her voice.

   "The Empress Dowager, do you still remember the last time Imperial Physician Hu inspected the Seventh Princess in Heshou Palace?..." Concubine Liu's eyes slightly swept across the maids in the room, and she hesitated to speak.

The Empress Dowager naturally understood what she meant, and when she heard Concubine Liu mentioning that matter, she became more worried when she thought about the girl Ying fainting for no reason, so she said to the maids, "You all stand down!" Bar."

   "Yes." The maids responded respectfully, and then slowly retreated.

   "Tell me, what's going on?" Seeing that the maids had already gone out, the Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Liu this time and asked again.

   "Mrs. Hu said that when the imperial doctor Hu examined Princess Seven, she actually found a very serious problem with Princess Seven." Concubine Liu also lowered her voice slightly, and said solemnly.

   "What's the problem?" When the Queen Mother heard her words, her heart sank suddenly. It was an extremely serious problem, what could it be? Is there something wrong with the shadow girl?

   "Queen Mother, from Mrs. Hu's point of view, it seems that the Seventh Princess can't bear children," Concubine Liu breathed out slightly, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly again word by word.

  Her voice was very low, very low, as if she was afraid that others would hear it. However, these extremely low words made the Empress Dowager's body freeze suddenly, and her eyes widened with all her might, filled with unbelievable astonishment.

  Lips moved slightly, and murmured, "Impossible, how is this possible?"

"The concubine also thinks it's impossible. In fact, the concubine doesn't believe Mrs. Hu's words. Originally, the concubine just casually mentioned that the seventh princess has been married for so long and there is no movement. Madame, however, talked about it in a moment of quick talk. Or maybe she heard it wrong, and she couldn't do it for real." Concubine Liu's voice also contained some doubts, and she slowly analyzed.

  Her words paused slightly, and she said again, "Originally, the concubine wanted to invite Physician Hu into the palace for questioning, but she felt that something was inappropriate, so I came to talk to the Queen Mother first."

The Empress Dowager's face was also solemn at this moment, and her eyes were full of worry, but she didn't pay attention to Concubine Liu, but shouted to the outside, "Come here, please come and invite Imperial Doctor Hu. "

  This matter is not a trivial matter, she must ask clearly.

  Now, only Doctor Hu knows what's going on.

   Concubine Liu had a slight sneer in her eyes, but it disappeared quickly. When she raised her eyes again, she could only worry, "I hope Mrs. Hu got it wrong."

  The Empress Dowager's face was a little livid at the moment, and she didn't answer her words. However, in her heart, the Empress Dowager hoped that Mrs. Hu had heard it wrong.

  If the shadow girl is really infertile, then this matter will be troublesome.

   After all, Ye'er is going to be the emperor, and Ying Yatou will definitely be the queen of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

  If so, according to the usual situation, it is a big deal, and the problem can be solved easily after Ying girl adopts the son of another concubine.

However, the most difficult thing to do now is that in Ye'er's eyes, there is no room for other women. I am afraid that after becoming the emperor, he may not let other women enter the palace, even if other women enter the palace, it may not be the case. Touch those women.

  So, this matter is more serious and more difficult.

   Concubine Liu saw that the queen mother did not say anything, so she stood aside and stopped talking.

   Not long after, Imperial Physician Hu arrived, and as soon as he entered the Palace of Heshou, he bowed forward, "Veteran sees the Empress Dowager."

   "Get up." The queen mother suppressed the anxiety and worry in her heart at the moment, and said in a low voice.

   "Thank you, Queen Mother." Imperial Physician Hu got up slowly, looked at the Queen Mother this time, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know why the Queen Mother recruited veterans into the palace, but what does the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable?"

   However, when he was speaking, his eyes drooped slightly again, and there was a trace of heaviness in them.

"The Ai family invited you into the palace today to ask you something. When you checked the seventh princess last time, did you find any problems with the seventh princess's body?" The queen mother said straight to the point. It's too much to worry about.

  At this moment, the Empress Dowager's voice seemed to tremble slightly, and her eyes were also looking straight at Doctor Hu.

  Physician Hu's body froze obviously, then quickly raised his eyes, and looked at the Queen Mother with a little astonishment.

   Seeing his reaction, the Queen Mother's heart sank again. Doctor Hu's expression showed that there was indeed something concealed last time. Could it be that the shadow girl is real?

   "The Ai family wants to hear the truth." The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and said again.

   "Queen Mother." Physician Hu shouted in a deep voice, then knelt down directly on the ground, and said again and again, "Damn the old minister, I really shouldn't lie to you, it's just..."

   "What's the problem with the Seventh Princess?" The queen mother's heart suddenly picked up when she heard this, and she suddenly interrupted him, asking repeatedly,

   "Back to the Queen Mother, the Seventh Princess is not fully developed because of the poison she suffered when she was a child, so she can't bear children." Imperial Physician Hu raised her eyes slightly this time, and said with a serious face.

   "Ah!" The queen mother suddenly exclaimed, and her body shook slightly. If she was not sitting on the chair at this moment, she might have fallen to the ground long ago.

  The queen mother has been in this harem for so many years, and she has long been able to deal with things calmly, but at this moment, she can't hide her shock and pain.

  Her body trembled slightly, but there was unbelievable pain in her eyes. This, how is this possible, how is this possible?

   "Then why didn't you tell the queen mother last time, why did you deceive the queen mother?" Concubine Liu saw the queen mother's appearance, something flashed in her eyes again, and then asked the doctor Hu in a deep voice.

  The Empress Dowager also regained her senses slightly, and looked at Imperial Physician Hu again with her eyes, waiting for her answer.

   "The old minister should die, the old minister should die. The old minister did not intentionally deceive the Queen Mother, but before the old minister entered the palace, His Royal Highness sent someone to inform the old minister, and told the old minister that no matter what was found in the inspection, he could not say anything. The old minister just followed His Highness's wishes..."

   "What? What do you mean, His Highness the Seventh Highness didn't let you say it?" The queen mother froze again and interrupted the imperial physician again.

   "Yes." Imperial Physician Hu responded with a slight nod.

"So, he knew about this a long time ago?" The queen mother's eyes showed more complex emotions. Ye'er knew about this a long time ago, but deliberately concealed it. It can be seen that the emotion in his heart persist in.

  This matter is really difficult.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince should have known about it a long time ago. I heard that Feng Lingyun had been to Prince Yi's Mansion beforehand, and it must have been examined for the Seventh Princess. Feng Lingyun's medical skills are no worse than those of the old minister, so the Lord should be able to find out. "Mr. Hu whispered again.

  The Queen Mother's body trembled again, and her eyes became more flustered. The current situation is more serious than she imagined.

   "Is there a cure?" The Queen Mother's mind suddenly flashed, and she suddenly looked expectantly at Dr. Hu, maybe there is a cure?

   "Returning to the Queen Mother, the old minister is incompetent, and there is really nothing he can do, but I just don't know if Feng Lingyun can do anything?" Imperial Physician Hu's eyes were filled with guilt.

"Even you can't be healed, how can Feng Lingyun heal, what's more, Feng Lingyun seems to be out of the city, if he can heal the seventh princess, he will definitely heal with all his strength, how could he be out of the city?" Concubine Liu frowned when she heard the words of Imperial Physician Hu. Frowning slightly, he said deliberately again.

  The Empress Dowager's face became even more hopeless, and even Imperial Physician Hu said that there was no way, I'm afraid that there was really no hope for Ying girl's illness.

  Furthermore, what Concubine Liu said was not unreasonable, if Feng Lingyun could cure Ying girl, she would not leave the city at this time.

   "Okay, you can go down." The queen mother waved her hand slightly to Imperial Physician Hu, indicating that he could go down.

   "Yes." Imperial Physician Hu replied respectfully, then slowly got up and walked out.

   "Wait a minute." The Queen Mother suddenly shouted again, "Remember, don't make public what happened today."

  Since Ye'er doesn't want other people to know about it, it's better not to make it public.

   "Yes." Imperial Physician Hu replied in a low voice again, but felt a little more guilty in his heart.

  Leaving the room, his face became a bit heavy again. It seems that the prince wanted to use this incident to deal with His Highness the Seventh Highness, and wanted to sow the relationship between His Highness and the Seventh Princess.

   And for his own family, he has no choice.

   "Queen Mother, what should we do about this matter?" Concubine Liu whispered again after seeing Imperial Physician Hu leave, her expression was full of worry and solemnity.

There was a slight pause in the words, and he said again, "Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, must be the emperor, and His Royal Highness's feelings for the Seventh Princess are well known. In the eyes of His Royal Highness, there is no room for other women. If If the Seventh Concubine really can't bear children, wouldn't the Xuanyuan Dynasty be without successors?"

   Concubine Liu's words made the Empress Dowager's face even more gloomy, and this was what she was most worried about.

Seeing the Queen Mother's expression, Concubine Liu sneered secretly in her heart, but said again with a heavy face, "The concubine is even more worried. At that time, His Highness the Seventh Prince will not let other women enter the harem. At that time, there will be no room for maneuver." .”

   "How can the Ai family not know." The queen mother was stunned for a moment, her eyes glanced at her slightly, and then said in a low voice, but now, she has nothing to do.

   "Queen Dowager, according to the wishes of my concubines, I can finally resolve this matter before His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince becomes emperor." Concubine Liu deliberately asked for a moment, and then said in a slightly deliberative manner.

   "What's your idea?" The Queen Mother's eyes flickered slightly, she looked at her again, and asked in a low voice, this Concubine Liu was usually very low-key, even she couldn't see through it.

  If you want to, she is the real law-abiding person, if you don’t, she is the most cunning person in this harem.

  So, although the queen mother is asking her at this moment, she is still on guard in her heart.

   Concubine Liu is such a cunning person, how could she not understand what the Queen Mother was thinking, so she lowered her eyes slightly and said apologetically, "The concubine has no idea, she was just too anxious and just said it casually."

  She will not be so stupid as to give advice to the Queen Mother at this time. All she has to do is to let the Queen Mother know about it. She believes that the Queen Mother will definitely find a way.

   At that time, even if something went wrong, Xuanyuan Ye would blame the Queen Mother instead of her.

The queen mother frowned slightly again, looking into her eyes, showing a bit of dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything, but whispered, "Go back first, let Ai's family be quiet. Remember, this time Don't make a fuss about it."

   "Yes. The concubine will leave first." Concubine Liu respectfully responded, then saluted slightly again, and then slowly retreated.

  The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched her leaving back.

  Is today's incident really just an accident?

   Did Concubine Liu really just overhear Madam Hu's words?

  It's just that, thinking about it carefully, I really can't think of any other purpose for Concubine Liu.

   After all, this incident did not do her any good. What's more, she just came to tell her, and she didn't make it public, and carefully avoided other people.

   Besides, no matter what, the words of the Imperial Physician Hu should not be fake, right? Imperial Physician Hu is an old imperial physician in the court, and she still trusts Imperial Physician Hu very much.

  So, the most important thing now is how to deal with the shadow girl.

  The queen mother was still sitting straight in the chair, with a pair of eyes, looking straight ahead, thinking of a way, a sudden flash in her mind, or, she should...
