Although Zheng Ying hated her to the bone, even if she really wanted to kill her, she would be more than happy to do so. But she did not want her to die without knowing why, and this enmity was also muddled. She took a few steps closer to the pond, but in the end it was difficult to see the situation under the water. She called out again, "If you can't hold on, just beg for mercy and admit defeat, I will save you. Don't drown in confusion just because you want to vent your anger. "But no matter how she threatened and tempted, Shen Shiyun always' bided his time '. Zheng Ying was angry and helpless. Suddenly a group of Imperial Bodyguards rushed in from all directions. They rushed close and jumped into the pond without even rolling up their trousers.
Zheng Ying called out, "What are you doing? Who allowed you to … pollute the pond water? Why haven't you come up yet? " But she had only spoken half a sentence when she felt a strong sense of oppression from behind. She turned her head around inch by inch, only to see Fulin was rushing over, supported by a little eunuch on his left and right. The two eunuchs were trying to persuade him, "Your Majesty, taking care of your dragon body is more important. Consort Yun niangniang will be saved by your servants." Fulin anxiously said, "Then why haven't you gone to save her yet?" The two little eunuchs did not know whether to laugh or cry, their faces were somewhat embarrassed. They could not figure out why they were inexplicably included in the list of rescuers.
When Zheng Ying saw Fulin for the first time, she was pleasantly surprised. She walked forward with light steps, took his left arm, and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, did you see everything just now?" Since he appeared in such a timely manner, presumably he had been lingering nearby. And these two people's words were always Shen Shiyun's words of usurpation, while Zheng Ying's every word was defending the interests of the Emperor and the Imperial Family. Who was right and who was wrong? And to be able to hear Shen Shiyun's narration with her own ears, the effect was a hundred times better than others trying to sow discord. This was really a case of intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willow and the willow growing shade. It was also a blessing in disguise.
Fulin said coldly, "I didn't see everything, but at least I didn't miss what I should have seen." Zheng Ying suppressed the ecstasy in her heart and asked again, "Then you heard it too? This Concubine was framed by this woman. Her vicious methods are endless. This Concubine has been with you for many years. You should know best what kind of person I am. When it comes to scheming, I really am not her match. But as long as the truth can be revealed, so that His Majesty will no longer be deceived by that evil woman, what does it matter if chenqie suffers a little bit of grievance? "
Fulin said angrily, "What do you mean by framed? What a bunch of nonsense! You still dare to quibble when things have come to this! Could it be that what I saw with my own eyes is false? As soon as we arrived, we saw you arguing with Consort Yun and pushing her into the water. You said that the foundation would collapse with a push, and that the cat would catch the tiger, and the tiger would eat the cat. Zhen tolerated you again and again, but I didn't expect that not only did you not repent, you became worse and more hateful … "
Zheng Ying was so depressed that she wanted to faint on the spot. How could she expect that Fulin didn't hear what he should have heard, but saw what he shouldn't have seen? If she didn't say that she was unlucky, how else could she explain it?
At this time, an imperial guard picked up Shen Shiyun and waded out of the water. Fulin stepped forward and hurriedly reached out to take her. Shen Shiyun had already fainted. Her clothes were soaked in water and clung tightly to her body. Her jade-like tender fingers were frozen into a purple-black color. It was bone-chilling to the touch. Strands of wet hair scattered messily on her face. Her face was so pale that it didn't seem like she was still alive. It was as if the blood in her blood vessels had all coagulated. She was so thin that she didn't have any weight. She was as light as a feather in one's arms. Because of this, it was difficult to feel any real sense of existence. Fulin hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to prepare a palanquin and carry it back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first. Then he invited all the imperial physicians to examine her.
Zheng Ying said, "Your Majesty, once this matter reaches the Palace of Heavenly Purity, it will inevitably have a big impact. I don't know what kind of people with ulterior motives will sow discord. It would be better to invite the imperial physicians to the Snow Song Palace to examine her." Fulin hated Zheng Ying for repeatedly poisoning Shen Shiyun, but he didn't hold grudges against anyone. He also didn't have a very vengeful temperament. Thinking that Zheng Ying's status was still his beloved concubine, he didn't want to embarrass her too much. Therefore, he snorted, but his expression was still extremely grim. He waited for the eunuchs to bring a soft palanquin over, and then he ordered them to change the location.
Zheng Ying was immediately gratified. She thought, "Since His Majesty can accept my suggestion, it means that my words can at least be used as a reference … Ay, he's really useless. He's so happy just because I'm a reference. Why didn't he think about how obedient he is to Shen Shiyun?" She complained incessantly in her heart. Her hands lifted the hem of her clothes as she limped after the palanquin.
Her speed was not as fast as the Imperial Bodyguards carrying the palanquin. When she arrived at the Snow Song Palace, she saw Fulin changing Shen Shiyun into a set of dry clothes and placing her on the bed in the inner room. A row of imperial physicians knelt on the ground, taking turns to take her pulse. Each imperial physician had just raised their hands when they shook their heads. They heaved a long sigh and stepped aside.
Zheng Ying wasn't in a hurry to enter. She stood at the door and watched. Her heart was full of disdain, "Shen Shiyun is too good at acting. She fainted just by touching a little water. She's not sick at all. Even an immortal wouldn't be able to tell her symptoms. You guys don't want to appear to be lacking in medical expertise, but you also don't dare to fabricate lies to deceive His Majesty. So you guys are all speechless. "After thinking for a while, her heart was moved," Conspiracy! Another conspiracy! Why would His Majesty suddenly come to the Imperial Garden? There are so many things that are worth his worry. I don't believe that he has the leisure to stroll around and enjoy the scenery. Shen Shiyun must have arranged this early in the morning. She must have sent someone to inform His Majesty long after we left. That's why she could calculate the timing so accurately. His Majesty the Pope only sees what is beneficial to her and ignores what is harmful to her. When I brought her to the Imperial Garden, I just walked around randomly and bumped into her carelessly. Yet she was able to guess it so accurately in advance … "Thinking like this, she really felt that this person was unfathomable and extremely terrifying.
The imperial physicians in the inner room were all in danger. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. The room was so quiet that the sound of a steel needle falling to the ground could be clearly heard. Another imperial physician finished taking Shen Shiyun's pulse. He raised his finger and shook his head as usual. Fulin angrily said, "What's the result of taking her pulse? Does no one know how to speak? Each and every one of you only knows how to shake your head and sigh. What's the difference between you and those quacks wandering the streets? "
That imperial physician was halfway through his sigh when he was frightened by Fulin. He forcefully swallowed his sigh back. His face was slightly purple from holding it in. When the rest of the imperial physicians saw this scene, none of them didn't want to laugh. But under the pressure of the atmosphere, they didn't dare to move the slightest bit.
Fulin waited for a moment and shouted, "Zhen asked you all a question. Have you all become mute?" At this time, an imperial physician came out from the crowd and loudly said, "Congratulations to His Majesty! Congratulations to His Majesty! " Fulin didn't understand. He just thought that the imperial physician was flattering him. He angrily said, "Zhen's beloved concubine is unconscious. What's there to celebrate?"
The imperial physician said, "Does His Majesty know why Her Majesty is unconscious?" Fulin angrily said, "Nonsense. If Zhen knew, why would I still need you bunch of quacks?" The imperial physician didn't dare to keep them in suspense and said, "Yes, yes. That's because Her Majesty is pregnant." Fulin's surprise turned into joy. He was somewhat at a loss. He repeatedly asked, "Is this true? You … are you sure? "
The imperial physician replied, "If I wasn't ninety percent sure, I wouldn't dare to deceive His Majesty. Chen has taken the pulse of many imperial concubines in the palace. I am very familiar with the principle. Her Majesty's pulse is flowing smoothly like a pearl on a plate. It should be smooth and slippery. There is no doubt that she is pregnant. There will be another dragon heir in the palace. How can it not be worthy of congratulations? "
Although Fulin didn't understand much about medical theory, hearing the imperial physician's solemn vow, his doubts were gone. He was so happy that he couldn't sit still. He paced back and forth in the room. He just wanted to hold a big banquet to celebrate. It was strange. In the past, when he heard that the other imperial concubines were pregnant, he was never as happy as he was now. He muttered to himself, "Since there is such a happy occasion, why hasn't Yun 'er mentioned it to Zhen?" The imperial physician smiled and said, "Perhaps Consort Yun herself doesn't know. It's the first time she is pregnant, she always lacks experience. But …"
Zheng Ying was furious. He rushed into the room and went straight to the bed. He shouted, "You are lying, you are lying. You are afraid that His Majesty will punish you, that's why you are talking nonsense. Usually, if you want to make up a problem, why do you have to say she is pregnant? Can't you say she has smallpox? " Smallpox was a very contagious disease. She said that because she wanted Fulin to stay far away from Shen Shiyun. Fulin's face was gloomy. He said, "Who allowed you to come in? You'd better burn incense and pray to the Living Buddha. Pray that Consort Yun and the child are all right. Otherwise, Zhen will be the first to not forgive you! "
Zheng Ying called out, "Your Majesty, you must not be fooled. Shen Shiyun was just pretending to faint. She first provoked me to become angry out of shame, so that I would bear a bad reputation. Then she deliberately fell into the water … "Fulin sneered and said," If that's the case, why didn't I see you deliberately falling into the water? "He ignored her and asked the imperial physician," Just now you said 'but', what about it? "
The imperial physician said, "But, from the pulse, Consort Yun niangniang's body is naturally weak. Her bones are weak. This time she fell into the water, the vibration was violent. Not only was she overly frightened, but it also inevitably affected her heart. If she is not properly nourished, I am afraid … I am afraid it will endanger the health of the fetus in her womb." Zhenying chimed in, "That's great. Anyway, we need to nourish her blood. Go and find some angelica, angelica, angelica, pinellia, white rhizome, Chinese motherwort, engraved vines, ginseng, whatever nourishing ingredients you can find. Boil them into a bowl of 'All Nourishing Soup' for her …"
The imperial physician shook his head again and again. He said, "You must not, you must not. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison. Tonics can't be taken carelessly. There is a saying in the Preface: 'When prescribing medicine, don't use the opposite of each other.' But 'the opposite of each other is harmful, even worse than the opposite of each other'. The 'pinellia' and 'white rhizome' belong to the 'eighteen evils'. You must not take them at the same time. As for 'Chinese motherwort' and 'engraved vine', they can easily cause kidney damage. For a pregnant woman, there are even more taboos. You must not take any medicine that is' cold, hot, sharp, slippery, or dispelling blood stasis'. "
Fulin said, "What you said is very good, but Zhen can't remember that much at once. How about this, you write down the names of all the medicines that are beneficial to you and make a list. Zhen will send someone to get the medicine accordingly. "Zheng Ying said," Let Chenqie get the medicine. "Immediately several eyes full of suspicion were cast at her. She was so embarrassed that she shut her mouth and did not dare to say anything.
The imperial physicians in the room gathered together and whispered to each other. After a short while, they reached an agreement and wrote a prescription. After giving it to Fulin, they bowed and asked to be excused. Fulin held one of Shen Shiyun's hands. He could not stop smiling and said, "Yun 'er, we are going to have a child. When he is born, Zhen will promote you to Gui Fei. In the future, Zhen will make him the Crown Prince. Zhen will not forget any of the promises that Zhen has made to you. "
Zheng Ying could not help but say, "This woman can't be the Mother of the Nation. Your Majesty, you did not see the whole process. You cannot judge lightly. It was she who told me that she did not love you. She only wanted to use you to avenge her family. Because you are the Emperor, she wants to be with you … "
Fulin frowned and said, "Why haven't you left yet? Even if it is true, so what? It was Zhen who volunteered to avenge her family. She did not use me. When it comes to status, who is not the same? If Zhen was not the Emperor, I would only keep two or three out of ten imperial concubines. If you don't care, why did you marry into the Palace and not find a commoner to entrust the rest of your life to? "
Zheng Ying endured again and again and said, "Alright, you will not fuss over this matter. But there is one more thing … there is one more thing … she is not satisfied with just being Gui Fei. She still wants … still wants …" Regarding Shen Shiyun's' grand plan ', it was too disgraceful to say it. She did not even dare to repeat it. She still could not open her mouth for a long time. Finally she said with a bitter smile, "She can do it, but I can't say it."
