"How is it?" After the imperial physician finished examining him, Liu Jingyu suppressed his anxiety and asked.
“The Crown Princess’ health is not… not very good… I’m afraid it will be difficult…” Sweat broke out on the imperial physician’s forehead, and he knelt down with a plop, not daring to not tell the truth.
"What's the reason?" The words were almost squeezed out from Liu Jingyu's teeth.
This was not the first time she asked, but the hatred in her heart burst out almost instantly.
“It should be… that… something cold was used…” The imperial physician only hated why he came here today. As an imperial physician, he knew too much about such things.
"Just some cold things?" Liu Jingyu asked harshly, his voice unconsciously becoming sharper.
"Not just a little bit... I should have taken a little more, and there are some complementary medicines... drugs." The doctor stammered.
Sweat broke out on his forehead.
Liu Jingyu moved her fingers, and a maid came over from behind her and presented some things.
Tea leaves, incense burner, incense ashes and a few unused incense sticks.
"See what's the problem here?"
The imperial physician hurriedly took it, stood up and went aside to check.
The room became quiet, and Liu Jingyu's heavy breathing could be heard.
"Your Highness... please calm down." A maid whispered behind Liu Jingyu.
Liu Jingyu stared fiercely in the direction of the imperial physician's examination and tried hard to control her emotions. This was not the first time she had heard this. She thought she could control it, but she couldn't. Whenever she thought of this matter, she wished she could tear Ji Youran into pieces.
This bitch...
"Reporting to Her Majesty, there are some cold substances in the tea leaves, two of the incense sticks have some, but the other two don't, and there are also some in the ashes of the incense burner."
After the imperial physician finished the examination, he came over to report in a low voice.
Liu Jingyu slammed his hand heavily on the table.
"Her Royal Highness." The maid behind her hurriedly reminded in a low voice.
"Go down first!" Liu Jingyu said in a deep voice.
The imperial physician quickly retreated to the door and stood outside the door before he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he did not dare to leave, as it was obvious that the matter was not over yet.
The Crown Princess was harmed by someone using cold things. Even if it is not completely cured now, it will be difficult for her to have children. She needs to be well taken care of to have a chance of recovery. The person who did it was very cruel and the medicine was extremely powerful. The medicine in the tea and the medicine in the incense complement each other. If it is not discovered in a while, the Crown Princess will really be childless.
This kind of thing is a big deal.
The imperial physician didn't dare to get too involved, but he couldn't leave at this time. He could only hope that the Crown Princess could find another miracle doctor.
The imperial physician outside the room was feeling anxious. Liu Jingyu inside the room was so angry that her face turned ashen. She pressed her fingers on the table with trembling hands, and her eyes were sinister: "It was indeed this bitch."
Some of her closest people had been taken away by the prince before, and now there are not many left. Later, some more people were added. She checked these people one by one, and only kept those who had no problems by her side to serve her.
In the Prince's Mansion, after Ji Youran fell, Liu Jingyu had almost no natural enemies. Those concubines were no problem. Not only did they have no status, they could not get close to her. They were taken away from afar and would not get in her way.
Unexpectedly, such a thing would happen just because she brought Ji Youran with her.
I thought I had Ji Youran firmly in my hands. In the East Palace, apart from Ji Youran, who else could have changed her tea and incense without making a fuss
After listening to Qu Moying's words that day, Liu Jingyu has been uneasy. The more she thought about it, the more creepy she felt. After checking, she didn't find anything. Later, it was a maid who reminded her. She immediately asked the imperial physician to see her. Only then did she discover the problem. The first imperial physician spoke very directly, saying that she had been ambushed and it would be difficult for her to have children in the future.
These words almost drove Liu Jingyu crazy, and she refused to believe in it, so she secretly called other doctors.
She is the Crown Princess and is supposed to give birth to the Crown Prince's child, that is, the future heir to the Great Zhou Dynasty. If she cannot give birth, the final result will definitely not be good.
How many of the princesses and queens in previous dynasties had a good ending if they were unable to give birth
Liu Jingyu immediately asked someone to investigate, and she found some evidence. All the evidence pointed to Ji Youran, but Ji Youran was dead now...
She actually died
How could Liu Jingyu not hate
She married into the Eastern Palace not just for the position of Crown Princess, but also for the purpose of planning for her own offspring. She couldn't be willing to spend her future as a tool for others.
Her son... She had to have a son.
His eyes were bloodshot and he was holding the incense burner tightly in his hand. This incense burner was the one he had just checked.
"Investigate, investigate further. All those related to that bitch will be executed." Liu Jingyu said coldly.
"My lady... there is chaos outside right now. If you punish someone at this time... it may cause criticism from others." The old woman reminded her carefully.
"Criticism? Let them criticize. Wasn't that bitch dead? Didn't she replace Ji Hanyue's engagement letter before? Then execute them all in her name." Liu Jingyu gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Jingyu with a gloomy face, and whispered: "My Lady Crown Princess, are there too many people?"
“Too many? If something really happens to me… I will let all the servants in the East Palace be buried with me.” Liu Jingyu rolled his bloodshot eyes and said hatefully.
"Your Highness... why don't you discuss this with Madam... maybe Madam can help you." Seeing her like this, knowing that this incident was a huge blow to her, the old woman came up with an idea.
"Mother? What can she do? If she had a way, she wouldn't be trapped in the mansion now." Liu Jingyu sneered. She was in a very bad mood at the moment. She was dissatisfied with everything she saw and couldn't listen to anything.
I reached out and touched my belly, and I hated that there was no baby in my belly.
"I'm going to raid the Ling Anbo Mansion."
"Your Highness... discuss this with Madam first. Madam may have a solution. Madam has someone in this field around her who knows different pharmacology than ordinary doctors...maybe there is a solution. Besides, the imperial physician only said that it is difficult to have children, not impossible. What Your Highness needs now is to take good care of your health."
Seeing that she was about to lose her mind with anger, the old woman hurriedly said.
Liu Jingyu didn't say anything, her hand still gently caressing her belly...
"Your Highness, although you were injured before, you are fine after all... The imperial physician will treat you, and Madam will ask for advice. There will always be a way. Your Highness is young and may not know the situation. Madam was too cold at the beginning. The doctors also said that it would be difficult to have children, but in the end, she gave birth to you, didn't she?"
Seeing that she was still gloomy, the old woman continued
Advise.
If the Crown Princess continues to be so ruthless and the issue of offspring is not resolved, something else might happen.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in a bad mood these past few days, and even when the master came over, he had a gloomy face. The Crown Princess had done a very good job before, and always comforted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gently. But now that she knows about the heir, the Crown Princess has become different from before. She doesn't try to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even repeatedly asks about Concubine Ji.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not set foot here yesterday.
If the Crown Princess continues like this, even if she recovers in the future, she will have lost the Crown Prince's heart. This is not worth it.
After hearing what she said, Liu Jingyu's eyes rolled: "Has mother also been harmed by someone?"
"Madam was not harmed by anyone. She was not careful since she was young, which caused her body to be too cold and difficult to have children. But she recovered later."
"But I am your only daughter, right?" Liu Jingyu's expression eased a little, and she looked better than before.
"That's because Madam and Master..." The old woman didn't say anything else, but Liu Jingyu understood everything. The relationship between his father and mother was really not good. Normally, his father rarely set foot in his mother's yard. Although the two of them lived in the same mansion, they basically lived their own lives. It was not bad enough for him to have himself.
Liu Jingyu let out a long sigh: "Then let's deal with those who colluded with Ji Youran to plot against me first."
Hearing that she finally gave in, the old woman was delighted and nodded hastily, then asked, "Should we talk to His Royal Highness about this matter?"
"No need to talk about it for now. I will go back and ask my mother what to do about this matter." Liu Jingyu said with a serious face.
"Where's the imperial physician?"
"Let the imperial physician go back and prepare medicine to cure my body, and warn him not to talk nonsense, otherwise..." Liu Jingyu slammed his hand on the chair rail and smiled grimly.
"I understand. I will do it now." The old woman was startled and said hastily.
The fact that the Crown Princess is having difficulty conceiving is a very serious matter. If it gets out, the Crown Princess's position may be unstable. Naturally, the news must be blocked now. The imperial physician must not only be warned, but also warned severely. Before the Crown Princess fully recovers, it must not be allowed to more people know.
As for the Crown Prince, I will have to discuss it with my Madam first.
The maid left and told the doctor a few things. The doctor kept saying yes, not daring to say anything more. This was a matter of life and death. Even if the Crown Princess's health was difficult to recover, he would definitely try his best to treat her...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." A eunuch's shrill voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate. The old woman was stunned and waved to the imperial physician, who hurriedly stepped aside.
Pei Luoan walked in with a gloomy face, without a trace of smile on his face. The way he looked at people was no longer as kind as before, but revealed an indescribable gloom.
The servants on both sides knelt down to welcome him.
When walking past the imperial physician, Pei Luoan looked down at the imperial physician kneeling in front of him and frowned. Liu Jingyu had seen several imperial physicians in the past few days, and he didn't know what was making a fuss at this time. He felt inexplicably irritated in his heart, stopped, and even wanted to turn around and leave.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has been waiting for you for a long time." The old woman looked at the pair of feet that stopped in front of her and said hurriedly and respectfully.
After hearing what she said, the feet that had stopped at first slowly moved forward...
