“Sister…” Shen Xihe rushed to the scene of the incident as soon as possible. Shen Yingruo saw Shen Xihe calling her softly, then lowered her head, feeling ashamed.
"Zhenzhu, you and Ah Xi go in and take a look." Shen Xihe ordered.
After the incident, An Zhengyi was seriously injured and could not be moved, so he was carried to the nearest small building for resting and viewing. The imperial physician and Shen Xihe arrived one after another and had just entered.
Shen Xihe glanced at her and said, "Don't worry."
After leaving these two words, Shen Xihe went to the pavilion on the rockery. An Zhengyi fell from this pavilion. Shen Xihe looked at the traces along the way. Because it was summer, the road was paved with bluestone slabs and did not leave any clues that would be beneficial to Shen Yingruo.
After a few casual glances, when Shen Xihe went down, His Majesty came with several princes and ministers. Xiao Huayong also went to the court today, and he came together. When he saw Shen Xihe, he walked to her side.
After some greetings, Emperor Youning asked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know the whole story either." Shen Xihe said slowly, "This matter involves Huaiyang and Madam An. Now only Huaiyang is here. To be fair, why don't we wait until Madam An wakes up and then the two of us will come to Your Majesty to report together."
Shen Xihe's words made Emperor Youning, who was about to ask Shen Yingruo, silent for a moment and then nodded slightly.
Shen Yingruo lowered her head and said nothing, but her heart gradually calmed down. She knew that since An Zhengyi did this, it would not end well. She didn't know to what extent An Zhengyi had hurt her, so she didn't know how to deal with it.
At this moment, Shen Xihe was standing next to her. She felt inexplicably at ease and her thoughts gradually became clearer.
Emperor Youning and his men waited outside for about a quarter of an hour. The imperial physician came out first, followed by Zhenzhu and A Xi. Zhenzhu looked at Shen Xihe with a serious look.
Shen Xihe raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: It seems that An Zhengyi has invested a lot of money.
"I bow to you..."
"No need to be polite. Just tell me how Miss An is doing." Emperor Youning interrupted the imperial physician.
The imperial physician bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Miss An must have been seriously injured not long ago, and the injury was in her lower abdomen. Today, she fell from a height and her lower abdomen hit the sharp part of the rockery. The old injury was added to the new one. Her life is not in danger, but..."
The Imperial Physician could not continue speaking at this point, as if he did not know how to begin.
"How is my daughter? I hope the imperial physician can give me a definite answer." An Jingnan asked hurriedly.
The imperial physician asked Emperor Youning with his eyes, and Emperor Youning said, "Speak frankly."
"Miss An has injured her internal organs. She may not be able to be a mother in the future." The imperial physician could only speak with pity.
Shen Xihe looked at Zhenzhu, who nodded.
An Zhengyi was indeed seriously injured, her life was not in danger, but the part where the fetus was being conceived was severely damaged. She could get pregnant but could not keep the fetus stable, which meant she had lost her qualifications to be a mother.
But Zhenzhu suspected that this was not caused this time. An Zhengyi's injury was caused by an arrow. It should be an old injury that made it impossible for her to get pregnant again. But they had no evidence, and she couldn't say this. She was the Crown Princess's lady-in-waiting, and it was the Crown Princess's sisters who caused An Zhengyi's injury to not heal and then suffer new injuries. If she said it, it would undoubtedly be an evasion.
Without Zhenzhu's explanation, Shen Xihe also knew that An Zhengyi could spend so much money, she must have been injured too late to be a mother. No wonder she dared to go to the East Palace even though she knew that the Crown Prince might not live long.
