Chapter 736 Who said we can't do anything to her?
"I took Lady Hao's pulse again today. Can you confirm the exact time?"
Concubine Liang knew that the day the heir was born was the day when Concubine Hao would die. But when she asked about this, her tone was still calm, as if she was just talking about the weather in the past few days.
At this moment, looking at Concubine Liang's face which was as kind as a bodhisattva, Doctor Xu couldn't help but feel shocked!
He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, it will take no more than three days. We must prepare early."
Since the planning of this matter, Concubine Liang has been preparing for it.
After hearing Doctor Xu's answer, she finally felt that everything was settled.
Concubine Liang looked at the scenery in the distance and sighed deeply: "Noble Lady Hao is unlucky and cannot watch the royal heir grow up. But it is her greatest honor to be able to continue the bloodline of the royal family!"
Doctor Xu did not dare to refute and could only say, "Your Highness is right."
After this episode, Concubine Liang waved her hand and said, "Okay, I have to go back to Changchun Palace to handle palace affairs. You should also go back to the Imperial Hospital."
"Yes. Wei Chen is resigning."
After entering the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Xu returned to his resting place and began to fill out Concubine Hao's pulse record.
Of course, he didn't dare write down in black and white some things that were not to be told.
The pulse record only recorded that Concubine Hao had been weak since her last miscarriage, and her pulse today was the same as usual.
After finishing these tasks, Doctor Xu went out to work for a while, and then it was time to get off duty.
It was not his turn to be on duty tonight, so he quickly left the Imperial Medical Office and went out of the palace along with the other imperial doctors.
The sun gradually set, and in a blink of an eye, it sank from the west.
A dark figure cautiously came out of Tang Luochuan's resting place, avoided the patrolling guards, entered Doctor Xu's resting place, and began to search carefully inside.
Little Zhouzi remembered the Empress' instructions and did not take anything from Doctor Xu's resting place. He just kept the records firmly in his mind.
Of course, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.
Little Zhouzi always carried paper and pen with him, and whenever he couldn't remember or understand something, he would immediately write it down.
By the time I finished these things, it was almost dawn.
Xiao Zhouzi quickly restored his things and left.
……
The next day.
Zhongcui Palace.
After returning, Xiao Zhouzi sorted out the things he saw and copied at Doctor Xu's resting place and gave them to Shen Zhinian.
In the morning, Shen Zhinian asked Fuqiu to call Tang Luochuan over.
After the ceremony, Tang Luochuan took the information that Shen Zhinian asked Fuqiu to hand over and looked at it carefully.
Shen Zhinian didn't say anything and waited patiently.
Seeing Tang Luochuan put down the book in his hand, she looked up and asked, "How is it? Can you see what the problem is?"
Tang Luochuan frowned slightly: "Doctor Xu is extremely cautious and should not have recorded the real abnormality of Concubine Hao in the pulse record."
"Even if something happened to her or the heir, after the investigation, anyone who saw Concubine Hao's pulse record would only think that she had been weak since her last miscarriage, so it was normal for her to have any accidents."
Handan sighed, "It's a good thing that the queen didn't directly ask Xiao Zhouzi to steal Lady Hao's pulse record. Otherwise, not only would we get nothing, but if Doctor Xu discovered that something was stolen, we would have alerted the enemy."
Shen Zhinian was not in a hurry to be disappointed, but just looked at Tang Luochuan quietly.
She knew Tang Luochuan's abilities very well.
Even if Doctor Xu did not record anything obvious in the pulse record, he should be able to find anything unusual from the medicinal materials that Concubine Hao used on a daily basis.
Sure enough, Tang Luochuan opened the booklet in his hand again and read it carefully line by line.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Tang Luochuan finally raised his head and said solemnly, "Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine Chen, from the pulse diagnosis of Concubine Hao and the pregnancy-preserving medicine she takes on a daily basis, there seems to be nothing abnormal on the surface."
"But I have discovered that if some of these herbs are taken together for a long time, although they can provide excellent nourishment to the fetus, they will damage the mother's Qi and blood."
"If this continues for too long, the mother's body will definitely not be able to bear it, and may not even make it to full term!"
"Combined with the information passed on by your informant, I guess that Concubine Hao's dragon fetus is almost eight months old. It is very likely that she will not be able to hold on and will be born prematurely."
"So, Concubine Liang and Doctor Xu are secretly planning something..."
Even though she had long known that Concubine Liang was not as kind as she seemed, Fuqiu was still so shocked that she took a deep breath after hearing what Tang Luochuan said.
"This... Ever since Concubine Hao became pregnant with the heir to the throne, she has become even more cautious. She doesn't trust anyone in the palace and only treats Concubine Liang as her own sister."
"Forgive me for saying something disrespectful... In Lady Hao's opinion, what Lady Liang said is probably more effective than the imperial edict of Your Majesty."
"Noble Lady Hao trusted Concubine Liang so much, but Concubine Liang was secretly plotting to kill the mother and take the son away?"
"When facing Concubine Hao on weekdays, doesn't she feel guilty at all? Such a person is really terrible..."
Handan curled her lips and sneered, "Not scary, how can she stay in her current position?"
"My Lady, now that we know these things, what should we do next?"
A hint of deep thought flashed across Shen Zhinian's eyes.
After all, all this is just Tang Luochuan's speculation and there is no definite evidence.
Even if Xiao Zhouzi gets Doctor Xu's pulse record back, and then makes a big fuss about it to prove that what Tang Luochuan said was true, what would that do?
Doctor Xu could also claim that Concubine Hao was too weak, and between the royal heir and the mother, he had to choose to preserve the royal heir more.
Whether in the eyes of the royal family or the people of the world, how can the life of a noble be compared with that of the royal heir?
No one can say that there is anything wrong with what Doctor Xu did. He might even be rewarded for his contribution in taking care of the royal heir.
Even if everyone knew that Concubine Liang knew about this, Shen Zhinian could not do anything to her.
After all, any person in a higher position would choose to protect the royal heir without hesitation.
At that time, Concubine Liang would pretend to be a bodhisattva and say that she couldn't bear to see the emperor have few children, and that she had finally gotten a child but couldn't give birth to it.
No one would think that there was anything wrong with what Concubine Liang did.
Even if some people think that Concubine Liang is two-faced, it cannot hurt Concubine Liang's foundation.
After listening to Shen Zhinian's analysis, everyone was silent...
Because they thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
If Concubine Liang and Imperial Physician Xu knew that only one of Concubine Hao and the royal heir could be saved, but they chose to save Concubine Hao, that would be a capital crime!
Handan asked unwillingly, "Your Majesty, even though we know so much, is there still nothing we can do to Concubine Liang?"
Shen Zhinian curled his lips and smiled: "Who said we can't do anything to her?"
