HCB Chapter 433: Refusing to Ask for Peaceful Pulse
Chapter 433: Refusing to Ask for Peaceful Pulse
When Aunt Yao saw Concubine Xiao's condition, she screamed in panic,
"Chunhua, hurry...go and get Imperial Physician Niu."
"Yes, Aunt Yao."
Chunhua, who was also frightened, turned around and was about to run away.
"you come back!"
After that loud shout, Concubine Xiao seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and the cold sweat on her forehead made her look even more weak and pitiful.
Chunhua stopped suddenly, turned around and asked,
"My lady, do you have any other instructions?"
Concubine Xiao was trembling all over, holding her stomach, and screamed "Ouch" again. Aunt Yao was busy wiping her sweat and trying to persuade her.
"My queen, please don't say anything yet. Can you wait until Imperial Doctor Niu comes before you say anything?"
After saying that, he waved to Chunhua, who then turned around and left.
*
Just as she was about to step out of the door,
Then she heard the sound of porcelain breaking behind her, and Chunhua turned around in fright.
The vase next to Concubine Xiao's chair had fallen to the ground and shattered! Yao Ma and Qiu Shi were so frightened that they stood there in a daze.
Concubine Xiao regained some strength, looked at her with eyes wide open, and pointed a finger at her.
After taking a few deep breaths, he scolded,
"You're rebelling, you're all rebelling. You don't even listen to what I say!"
As he said this, he started coughing violently.
Chunhua shuddered and knelt down in front of Concubine Xiao.
"My lady, I didn't. I don't dare!"
Madam Yao also reacted and wanted to calm Concubine Xiao down, but she was waved away by Concubine Xiao.
*
Concubine Xiao's stomach calmed down a little. She rubbed it gently, staring at the three people, and said sinisterly,
"You are the people I trust the most, but at the critical moment you disobeyed orders and acted on your own. Think about it carefully. What's the point of keeping you here?"
It was the first time that Aunt Yao saw Concubine Xiao being so ruthless to her, and she knelt on the ground in panic.
"My Lady, I have no intention of betraying you. Seeing you in pain, I feel so distressed that I wish I could suffer for you. How could I possibly harm you?"
Chunhua and Qiushi also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"My lady, I will never leave you. Please don't chase us away."
As soon as the choked voice came out, tears started to flow down.
At this time, Concubine Xiao felt that the shock and beating were enough, so she stood up and said sternly,
"If you do this again in the future, pack up and leave!"
"Yes, yes. We will never do that again!"
After Concubine Xiao went back to her inner room and lay down, Chunhua and Qiushi dared to get up from the ground.
"Madam Yao, please get up quickly. What happened to the Madam? She changed her face so suddenly.
I don't understand why the Majesty refuses to let the Imperial Physician Niu come and take a look."
*
After Aunt Yao was helped up, trembling all over, she was still trembling with fear.
It was also the first time that she was humiliated by being scolded by Concubine Xiao.
All for the baby in the belly.
Thinking of the child and Concubine Xiao's abnormal behavior, the doubt hidden in Yao Ma's heart emerged again.
However, when he thought of the tragic situation of his inexplicably broken hands and feet, he couldn't help but tremble all over again.
She lowered her voice and told the two of them,
"The Imperial Concubine has asked Prince Rui several times just now. Please go to the Imperial Study and ask Prince Rui to come over."
The two palace maids didn't think much about it, just nodded and hurried out!
Madam Yao looked at the door of the inner room.
Her heart was beating like a drum. The more the Imperial Concubine refused to allow the imperial physician to come and check her pulse, the more uneasy she felt.
Since she couldn't persuade the Queen, she would let Prince Rui do it. After all, the Queen's stomachaches were getting more and more frequent, and she was really distressed!
Soon Qiushi came back.
"Madam Yao, Eunuch De said that Prince Rui returned home after the morning court session! Chunhua went to the palace gate to find someone to take a message to Prince Rui's mansion."
"Oh, go ask the kitchen to make some light nourishing soup for the queen."
"Here."
*
In the afternoon,
Prince Rui hurried to Ruyi Palace.
After all, the messenger said that the imperial concubine had urgent business.
When Concubine Xiao saw her son, she didn't think much about it, thinking that he had finished his work and came to tell her the good news.
Greeting him with a big smile on his face,
But when she saw the red marks on Prince Rui's face, the sharp-eyed Concubine Xiao knew what was going on at a glance.
The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He waved to the servants in the room and said,
"You all get out!"
"Yes. Madam."
Chunhua and Qiushi bowed and walked out.
This time, Aunt Yao did not stay and left slowly! If the mother and son quarreled over asking the imperial physician to check the patient's pulse, she did not want to become the object of suspicion.
*
When Concubine Xiao saw that the room was quiet, she asked,
"Tell me! What's going on with that face? Don't try to fool mother."
Liang Hengrui touched his face and smiled.
"I used the best swelling and pain-relieving medicine, the one you gave me last time. I thought it was invisible, but you found it at a glance. It shows that you love your son the most!"
Concubine Xiao slapped his arm in a reproachful manner.
"Stop talking so smoothly and tell the truth?"
Concubine Xiao turned her son's face and looked at him carefully.
"No problem! I was hit twice by a little wild cat. I volunteered."
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao understood without having to guess. She was so angry that she slapped Liang Hengrui on the head.
"Even mother has never been willing to hit you like this. You useless fellow.
I will spare you this time, but if you find out next time, I will kill you no matter who it is."
Liang Hengrui smiled and tried to please Concubine Xiao.
"Mother, I will obey you."
*
After Liang Hengrui finished speaking, he straightened his expression, stood up, and bowed respectfully to Concubine Xiao.
"Thank you for your help, mother. We were able to complete the first step today. I think the next step will not be far away."
Concubine Xiao quickly pulled her son over, her heart churning.
"My son, this day has finally come. I feel relieved. From now on, you must behave well in front of your father.
When your mother gives birth to a child and is promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, that will be your best chance to legitimately become the Crown Prince."
"Okay, I'll follow my mother's instructions. By the way, how is your health? Have you asked the imperial physician to check your pulse?"
When Concubine Xiao heard her son asking about this again, her stomach started churning again, as if to agree with his words, and sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Isn't the weather hot?"
Concubine Xiao gritted her teeth, pretended nothing had happened, and tried hard to calm herself.
Instead, he answered the question irrelevantly.
"My son, your mother is fine. This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy.
Come on, tell mother about the expression on the prince's face when he was deposed?"
After saying this, he pretended to be excited and looked at his son with burning eyes.
*
Liang Hengrui seemed to have suddenly thought of the doubt in his heart and said,
"Mother, the expression on the Crown Prince's face was too calm when he was deposed. I feel like something is wrong.
In particular, when the prince heard that he was going to be demoted to the cold and barren northern border, he said nothing.
By the way, those letters were sent by General Wang. Is the prince thinking of going to General Wang to overturn the case?"
