Chapter 754 Xie Yang's Suspicion
Doctor Wang could only come up with this excuse. He said, "Everyone's physique is different. With a baby in her belly, the body has an extra burden. Fortunately, she just fainted and is not in danger of life."
The Empress Dowager said, "Her physique is really strange. She shouldn't be unconscious even if she is pregnant. This is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing in my decades of life."
Gao Qingtong said, "I have read a book before. It said that a woman was pregnant and then she fell into a coma. She sought treatment from many doctors but none of them could wake her up. She seemed to be asleep. Ten months later, her child was born and she woke up. The fact that the Empress Dowager has never heard of it does not mean that there are no such strange things in the world. The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things. I think Shu Ronghua's condition is indeed similar to that of the woman in the book!"
Jiang Fenghua stepped forward and slapped Shu Yan's cheeks twice. "The Empress Dowager said this because she may suspect that Shu Ronghua pretended to faint to attract the emperor's attention. This kind of drama is often used by women to win over their husbands. The Empress Dowager also saw it just now. She is not pretending at all. She can't be awakened even if she is hit."
Jiang Fenghua put his finger on Shu Yan's nostrils again, "She's still breathing, she's really asleep." The medicine given by Aoxue was really effective. No matter how much they tortured Shu Yan, she couldn't wake up.
"If the Empress Dowager still doesn't believe it, you can come and try to wake her up yourself." She took the Empress Dowager's hand and walked it in front of Shu Yan, then increased her strength and slapped Shu Yan in the face.
After the slap, Shu Yan didn't move at all, but everyone around was dumbfounded. Everyone opened their mouths in shock. The air was almost frozen, and the silence was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. It seemed as if countless crows were flying over their heads. Is it really okay for the queen to do this? Shu Ronghua's face was red from the slap. It looked so painful!
Besides, Minister Shu was still there. How could she bully someone else's daughter like this?
Concubine Chang's heart tightened, and she unconsciously wanted to step forward to protect Shu Yan. She dug her fingernails into the flesh and stared at Shu Yan's face.
All of Concubine Chang's micro-expressions fell into Jiang Fenghua's eyes. At this moment, she seemed to have discovered another secret of Concubine Chang.
No wonder she took the initiative to move into the West Palace at such a young age. It turned out that her mind was not on the late emperor at all. If Shu Yan was really the biological daughter of Concubine Chang, judging from Shu Yan's age, it was just during the time when Concubine Chang had an affair with someone and gave birth to Shu Yan in the West Palace.
Then someone will take Shu Yan out of the palace. With Minister Shu's power, he should be able to accomplish this small matter.
Jiang Fenghua stared at Shu Yan's face carefully. Upon closer inspection, he found that her facial features were somewhat similar to those of Concubine Chang.
At first, she just suspected that Concubine Chang taught Shu Yan how to make pastries, and Shu Yan might also be passing information to Concubine Chang. Unexpectedly, Concubine Chang admitted it generously. She probably knew that Shu Yan’s going to the West Palace could not be concealed, so she just said it to dispel doubts. Unexpectedly, Shu Yan fell into a coma, and Concubine Chang showed an anxious expression.
Jiang Fenghua looked in the direction of the Fourth Prince, wanting to know whether he was the child of the late emperor or the adulterer of Concubine Chang. At this moment, she happened to make eye contact with the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince seemed very unhappy, and she just needed to add fuel to the fire.
Jiang Fenghua said to Shu Shilang again, "Master Shu, please have Madam Shu brought into the palace. Her daughter is pregnant, and Madam Shu will be very happy. Shu Ronghua is not in good health, so it's a good opportunity to ask Madam Shu to come to the palace to take care of her for a while."
Shu Lang said, "My wife is not in good health, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for her to come to the palace." She would definitely not come.
"I feel that my daughter will be happy only when she has her mother's company. I felt the same way when I was pregnant. I always wanted my mother's meticulous love. I always felt something was missing without her love." Jiang Fenghua asked Gao Qingtong again, "Does Concubine Gao feel the same way?"
Gao Qingtong said: "I do feel this way. Because of my different status, my mother did not enter the palace. At that time, I always felt a little regretful!"
Jiang Fenghua was very considerate: "Shu Ronghua is unconscious, I will send someone out of the palace to pick up Madam Shu and bring her in! There will be sedan chairs for going in and out, so Madam Shu won't feel tired. Shu Ronghua is pregnant with the heir to the throne, I will definitely take good care of her."
Without waiting for Minister Shu's consent, Jiang Fenghua had already asked Aoxue to send someone to pick up Madam Shu in person.
A trace of worry flashed across Shu Lang's brows. Under the current circumstances, she had no choice but to go to the palace. Shu Lang said anxiously, "I will go to pick her up myself. There is no need to trouble the Queen."
"It's not a big deal. These are what I should do as the queen." Jiang Fenghua said to Xie Shang, "Your Majesty, right?"
Xie Shang smiled with a fake smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
Jiang Fenghua smiled calmly and said, "Everyone, please stop crowding around. Spread out. Shu Ronghua is pregnant now and is the most important person in the harem. No matter when she wakes up, Imperial Doctor Wang must find a way to help her keep the baby safe and give birth to the heir to the throne safely in ten months."
Doctor Wang said respectfully, "I will do my best to take care of Madam Ronghua's health."
So she asked everyone to leave the side hall, "The imperial physician has said that Shu Ronghua is in good health. You all go back to your seats. Concubine Gao, Concubine Song, please help greet her."
Empress Dowager Cheng waited silently on the side. She had never seen Jiang Fenghua so enthusiastic. In the past, she would let her servants do these things. But she became more and more casual.
Gao Qingtong and Song Jing brought several princesses and concubines back to the table.
The Empress Dowager had just seen with her own eyes Jiang Fenghua slap Shu Yan hard in the face. She had only just come to her senses. The slap was loud and hard.
She knew that Jiang Fenghua was taking this opportunity to take revenge on her, probably because the concubine was pregnant with the emperor's child!
The Empress Dowager thought it was meaningless and left.
Jiang Fenghua pretended to talk to everyone, and kept chatting about topics such as the special dishes prepared for the banquet.
Xie Shang had no intention of staying. He said to Master Pan and Master Jiang, "Masters, please take your seats."
He glanced at Shu Lang and said, "Minister Shu, please come along! It's no use for you to be here. Madam Shu will also be coming to the palace later. Madam Shu will take care of Rong Hua herself."
"Yes." Shu Lang followed Xie Shang, his eyes full of reluctance.
After everyone left, Concubine Chang showed no intention of leaving. The palace maids who served her were busy running around and did not take care of her by the bed. Shu Yan lay quietly on the bed, her cheeks red and swollen, and she unconsciously took a few steps forward.
Just as Concubine Chang's hand was about to touch Shu Yan's cheek, Xie Yang suddenly called her, "Mother."
Concubine Chang was startled. She quickly withdrew her hand, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She hid her emotions, wiped away the tears, and said stiffly, "Yang'er."
Xie Yang's eyes were full of confusion, "What was mother doing just now?" He saw everything.
