The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Chapter 172 Palace Fight

Although she did not do it personally, she was the only one in the palace who had a grudge against Sheng Junwei, and it was entirely possible that Sheng Junwei would point the finger at her.

At this moment, she suddenly covered her abdomen and groaned faintly: "Ouch..."

The emperor's expression tensed up, and he quickly asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Your Majesty, I have severe abdominal pain that is unbearable..."

The emperor frowned and gave a decisive order: "Send the imperial physician immediately!"

Aunt Fang's sharp gaze swept across Concubine Sheng's pale face, and a hint of contempt flashed in her eyes.

As the most trusted maidservant of the former palace fighting champion, she had witnessed the replacement of concubines in three dynasties. This little trick might be able to deceive the emperor's eyes, but it was nothing but showing off one's skills in front of an expert in front of her.

When Eunuch Yu passed by, she whispered something, revealing a secret unknown to others.

Eunuch Yu's expression changed slightly. Although he did not stop, he quickly left the Liuli Palace.

Not long after, Eunuch Yu hurried back with three imperial doctors.

When Concubine Sheng saw the three imperial doctors, her expression became even uglier.

Sheng Junwei observed the ever-changing expressions of Concubine Sheng with great interest, enjoying the subtle pleasure brought by the perspective of a bystander.

Si Qi once mentioned that in a distant country, technology is highly developed and a culture called "performing arts" has emerged, presenting various stories to the public through a medium called "TV series."

Although it has similarities with traditional drama, it is closer to life, touches more people, and the plot is direct and easy to understand.

Among them, "palace fighting dramas" were particularly popular.

In the past, Sheng Junwei didn’t think there was anything particularly attractive about TV dramas, especially those involving palace fighting.

But now, she has experienced a whole new kind of fun from it.

In sharp contrast to Sheng Junwei's high spirits, Concubine Sheng was now on the verge of anger.

She has her own team of imperial doctors, especially Imperial Doctor Zhang, who has served her for nearly twenty years. The two of them have long had a tacit understanding and can communicate with each other with just a glance.

At this moment, she was not actually feeling unwell, but just wanted to use the excuse of "miscarriage" to interrupt the Emperor and Aunt Fang's search for the glass lamp.

If Imperial Physician Zhang was present, even if he didn't understand the intention, he would never expose it.

But now, there are two more imperial doctors...

Concubine Sheng was extremely anxious, but she had no idea what to do.

No matter how much she emphasized that only Imperial Physician Zhang should be allowed to make the diagnosis, the other two imperial physicians had already begun a careful examination.

Finally, the cruel truth was revealed: "Your Majesty, Concubine Sheng is in good health and just needs to rest and recuperate."

Concubine Sheng wanted to argue: "But I do feel anxious and short of breath, and the pain in my abdomen is real."

"These are common reactions during pregnancy. Although the first two births went smoothly, the feelings during each pregnancy are different, which is a very normal phenomenon."

The imperial physician's words were like cold water that extinguished her last glimmer of hope.

Concubine Sheng raised the corner of her eye slightly and cast an imperceptible look towards Imperial Physician Zhang. That look contained both anxiety and a hint that could not be ignored.

Imperial Physician Zhang understood what she meant and spoke almost at the same time, his tone was calm but full of force: "After careful consideration, I think that for the sake of safety, Her Majesty Sheng should increase the medication to ensure that the dragon fetus is safe."

Imperial Physician Du shook his head slightly, a hint of disapproval flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, with a bit of authority and persistence in his voice: "Although medicine is good, it is also toxic. It should not be abused unless it is absolutely necessary. Generally speaking, only those with unstable fetuses need to use medication to assist, but judging from the current situation of Concubine Sheng, the fetus is as stable as a rock, and the previous delivery was extremely smooth. Unless there is a sudden change, there is no need to use medicine. Blindly using medicine or over-nourishing may introduce unnecessary variables, which is not good for both mother and child."

Imperial Physician Jiang nodded, supporting Imperial Physician Du's point of view. His tone sounded particularly sincere, further strengthening the voice against the use of medication.

The two imperial physicians had clear positions, and Imperial Physician Zhang was unable to handle the situation alone, so he had to acquiesce in the majority decision.

Aunt Fang had a faint smile on her lips, her eyes were as sharp as a blade, and she looked straight at Concubine Sheng, her words were full of sarcasm and warning: "If Concubine Sheng has any concerns in her heart, then she should devote herself to taking care of the fetus. I believe that the Empress Dowager's greatest wish is that the little prince can be born safely."

She then turned her gaze and lightly swept over the emperor, with a hint of reproach in her eyes: "Your Majesty, you should also know that Concubine Sheng is pregnant. How can you let her overwork herself with trivial matters in the six palaces? The affairs of the six palaces are complicated. Pregnant women need to rest. Overwork may be harmful to the dragon fetus."

The emperor felt that this made sense and nodded repeatedly, "In that case, Concubine Sheng, you can rest assured and take care of your baby. Put aside the affairs of the six palaces for the time being. We will discuss everything after you give birth."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Concubine Sheng's heart directly, causing her face to change suddenly, full of doubts and unwillingness.

She wondered to herself, why did she not escape such an ending after trying so hard and doing everything perfectly?

Once you lose the power of the Six Palaces Assistant, how easy will it be to get it back?

There are many people in the palace who are eyeing this position, especially the queen who has been fighting with her for many years. If she fails at this moment, wouldn't it be exactly what she wants?

"Your Majesty, I have no problem with this. I am willing to help you solve your problems."

Concubine Sheng's voice was filled with anxiety and urgency that was difficult to conceal, and she tried to save the situation.

Aunt Fang sighed softly, her words were gentle but carried a certain irrefutable force: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Sheng is so considerate of you, you should also understand her situation."

The emperor nodded heavily, his words full of concern for Concubine Sheng: "My dear, you should have a good rest. You don't need to go to the Queen's place. We can discuss everything after the birth of the baby."

To Concubine Sheng, all this seemed to declare that her efforts had come to nothing. She felt disheartened and couldn't help but wonder in her heart why, despite her careful planning, she still couldn't escape the fate of losing everything?

Just as Concubine Sheng was immersed in her own thoughts, suddenly, she seemed to realize something and was startled: "Oh!"

The situation at this moment was like a final decision. The surging emotions in Concubine Sheng's heart were like a running train, roaring and almost suffocating her.

On the other side, Sheng Junwei was so happy that she could hardly express it in words. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise up to her ears.

It is not easy to deal with people who practice Taoism. Her previous submission was just a temporary concession on her part.

Now, she is unwilling to endure it any longer. Those who try to challenge her will surely taste the bitter fruit of their own making.

As for Aunt Fang, the old hand in the palace, she sincerely admired her.

As the think tank beside the palace fighting champion, she is very clever and every word she says sounds well-intentioned, but in fact, she solves all problems quietly with a gentle blow, making people feel grateful and fall into her trap.
