The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 310 Everyone Knows

This is truly a predicament of internal and external troubles, a dilemma on both sides. Physician Kong, the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, spoke up, "Physician Liu, Physician Gao, go outside and take a look. The rest of you stay here, and we will send someone to invite His Majesty over."

"Yes." The two imperial physicians received the order and immediately left, followed by two servants carrying medicine boxes.

At this moment, Jing Rou was lying on the bed with a pale face. Although she was beautiful, she looked really unwell. The Empress Dowager was sitting in a chair not far away, with Jing Anle, Consort Chen, Princess Yongping and Laili standing beside her.

Meanwhile, Consort Lin took Jingrou's pulse. There was no other way; all the imperial physicians were with Consort Li at the moment.

"Why hasn't the imperial physician arrived yet?" Consort Chen frowned and complained, "The princess is of noble birth; it would be unlucky if she were to be impure."

The Empress Dowager was already upset by the series of troubles, and now, hearing Consort Chen speak like this, she said with a stern face, "Shut up!"

Consort Chen immediately blushed, feeling embarrassed, her mouth half-open, not daring to refute.

Jing Anle ignored them and directly asked Consort Lin loudly, "How is Princess Rou? Is she really poisoned?"

Consort Lin was concentrating on taking Jingrou's pulse. The pulse was too strange. Sometimes it was like rolling beads, and sometimes it was slow and rhythmic. She immediately made a judgment in her mind. Then she pried open Jingrou's mouth to examine her carefully.

After examining the princess, Consort Lin slowly stood up, her expression grave, and said, "The princess is not poisoned." Everyone was shocked.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly asked, "What is the reason for that?"

Consort Lin hesitated for a moment, then said, "The princess's pulse suggests she is pregnant."

Her words were overheard by the two imperial physicians who entered the room. Physician Liu and Physician Gao exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill in their hearts. What bad luck, what bad luck.

Being a royal physician not only required excellent medical skills, but also the ability to read between the lines, knowing what to say and what to listen to, and what not to say or hear.

For example, they shouldn't have heard about this now, but it's too late.

These words shocked everyone present, especially the Empress Dowager, who stood up and angrily rebuked Consort Lin, "This is utter nonsense!"

The two imperial physicians were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Consort Chen had just been reprimanded, and the Empress Dowager was still angry, so she dared not speak.

The Empress Dowager felt suffocated and short of breath. This Consort Chen was always shouting when she shouldn't have, and then she became mute when she should have spoken.

Princess Yongping saw things more clearly and immediately said, "How is this possible? Princess Rou is still unmarried, how could she be pregnant? Consort Lin, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. If you tarnish the princess's reputation, that will be troublesome."

“Aunt is right. The princess is a pure and upright young lady who always observes etiquette and behaves in a proper manner.” Of course, Jing Anle was being sarcastic.

Consort Lin stood ramrod straight. In the past, she could protect herself to survive, but when it came to diagnosing patients, she would never stoop to telling a lie, otherwise she would be disgracing the identity of a doctor.

"The princess's reputation cannot be tarnished by me alone. Now that two imperial physicians are here, why don't we ask them to make another diagnosis?"

All eyes immediately turned to Physician Liu and Physician Gao, who were now feeling extremely uneasy.

"What are you all kneeling for? Hurry up and examine the princess!" The Empress Dowager's voice was full of anger, and her expression was also unpleasant. How did the two imperial physicians have to hear this? She blamed it all on Consort Lin, and her disgust for Consort Lin grew even stronger.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon receiving the order, the two imperial physicians quickly stood up to examine Jing Rou.

Physician Gao's hands trembled slightly as he took the pulse out of fear.

"Cough~" Jing Anle coughed lightly, which startled him so much that cold sweat broke out on his back.

"You two must examine the princess carefully, lest something go wrong." Jing Anle's words put even more pressure on the two imperial physicians, making them feel worse than death.

After a long while, Physician Liu and Physician Gao exchanged a glance, both looking troubled.

The two imperial physicians knelt down with a thud. Physician Liu forced himself to say, "Your Majesty, Consort Lin's words are true; the princess is indeed pregnant." He kept his head bowed so low that he dared not raise it.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's face turned ashen, and she nearly fainted. Yongping, who was beside her, quickly supported her, exclaiming, "Empress Dowager!"

Jing Anle nodded in satisfaction; the effect was quite good so far. She had secretly placed a sleeping potion hidden under her fingernail into Jing Rou's calming soup, causing her to faint. Then she deliberately claimed she might have been poisoned and summoned the imperial physician for diagnosis. Unfortunately, not enough physicians arrived. Her goal was to make this matter known to everyone!

These words were overheard by Emperor Jing as he entered. At that moment, Consort Li was suffering from poisoning and difficult childbirth, and the Imperial Medical Bureau was helpless.

He came to find Consort Lin, knowing that she was highly skilled in medicine and might have a way to save the person. However, upon hearing this news, it seems that Prince Qing really couldn't hold back and actually thought of using the child to bind the Qi Kingdom.

With a shout of "His Majesty has arrived!" everyone was startled again. Except for Jing Anle, the expressions of the others were not good.

Especially the Empress Dowager, who has always favored Prince Qing. Now that such a big thing has happened, how can she get Emperor Jing to help her get over this?
