The empress hastened to persuade him. "The emperor is angry and joyous, but the dragon's constitution is more important. We should let the imperial physician see the sister consort first. We can't delay any longer."
Layers upon layers of cold sweat flowed down Zhong Miao Yi's back. When she raised her head slightly, she saw that Imperial Consort De was actually looking at her.
The corner of Imperial Consort De's mouth hooked into a faint smile, causing her heart to tighten. It was an indescribably strange smile.
A bad premonition was always a strange and precise thing. Imperial Consort De retracted her gaze and softly said to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, Princess Miaoyi came to the palace to visit Consort Xian today. Perhaps she knows something?"
The emperor was startled. He followed Imperial Consort De's gaze and saw the kneeling Zhong Miao Yi outside as expected.
Seeing Zhong Miao Yi, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and she let Zhong Miao Yi come over.
Zhong Miao Yi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. When she walked inside, he was about to kneel, but was stopped by the Emperor: "Alright, don't kneel.
Zhong Miao Yi lowered her head and said, "Yes, Concubine Xian said that she wanted to go for a walk, so I accompanied Empress for a walk."
The Emperor simply grunted as if he had no interest in asking any further questions.
How could the Imperial Consort De let go of such a good opportunity? "Before Concubine Xian went out with you, she was fine. Why did she go out with you?
The Imperial Consort De had always been against the Zhong Miao Yi, but the Queen knew how to read the Emperor's face. She interrupted: "I don't know what's going on with Consort Xian yet, but younger sister, it's better for you to not bother Princess Xiuyi at this time. Otherwise, the Emperor will be even more annoyed.
Since the empress had already said so, it wouldn't be good for the Imperial Consort De to not give face to the empress. After all, the emperor was still here.
The imperial physician didn't tarry for long. Soon after, his forehead beaded with sweat as he knelt in front of the emperor.
The emperor anxiously asked, "How is Consort Xian?!"
The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief. "If we return to the emperor, Concubine Xian's child will be safe."
When these words were said, the Emperor and Zhong Miao Yi almost instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Zhong Miao Yi saw Imperial Consort De's disappointed expression, and then put on a fake smile: "Consort Xian is blessed with great fortune, it seems that this child is destined to be blessed, if she doesn't die from this, he will definitely have good fortune."
The emperor didn't quite catch her words, but stood up and walked towards the Concubine Xian. The empress, Imperial Consort De and imperial physicians all followed suit.
Zhong Miao Yi stood in place and thought for a while, then silently followed him.
When Concubine Xian heard that her child was alright, she was so excited that she was crying. She held the emperor's hand but was unable to say anything.
Seeing that the Consort Xian had calmed down, he hurriedly interjected, "The Concubine Xian is fine, why is she suddenly like this?"
When the emperor heard this, he asked the imperial physician, "What happened to Consort Xian!?"
The imperial physician was trembling in fear. He had just returned from the gates of hell, and his voice trembled as he said, "Concubine Xian's body is weak, and the dragon fetus has only recently stabilized. Originally, it should have been well nourished, but as for the term delivery, there shouldn't have been any major problems.
"Activating blood circulation to dissipate silt?!" Consort Xian was immediately excited. "You are speaking nonsense! Why would I eat these things?! "
The imperial physician was so frightened that he kowtowed. "Imperial Concubine understands, humble subject." He absolutely did not dare to lie to the emperor or the imperial concubine. It was indeed because he had eaten something that rejuvenated his blood that caused him to have a sudden abdominal pain and bleeding! "Empress, you might as well think about it. Did you eat anything today?"
Zhong Miao Yi pulled on her sleeves tightly. Just as she was about to take a step forward, she was stopped by Imperial Consort De, who was nearing her at an unknown time. Imperial Consort De looked at her with a crafty smile and said softly: "Don't move recklessly."
Zhong Miao Yi's heart suddenly dropped to the bottom of the valley.
Consort Xian thought for a while and then recounted everything she had eaten today. In the end, she suddenly recalled. I even ate some of the medicinal cuisine that Miaoyi brought me. That medicinal cuisine had a bit of a sour and sweet taste, and it was very appetizing. So I ate a bit more. "
Indeed! When Zhong Miao Yi saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, even the Concubine Xian herself looked at the Zhong Miao Yi in shock.
"Miaoyi." The emperor looked at her with a pained expression. "Have you?"
Concubine Xian did not say anything, but instead, it was the Imperial Consort De who said loudly, "Since the imperial physician is here, is there any way to find out? There is also a noob from the imperial kitchen asking if Princess Miaoyi's medicinal cuisine is still here?"
The emperor's gaze landed on the Little Maid by the side of his concubine. The Little Maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed as she replied, "The Empress and the princess are going out for a walk, the princess told me to wash the things quickly. I wanted to send the Empress out of the palace before I came back to wash.
Imperial Consort De raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so anxious to wash up? "Princess, are you trying to destroy the evidence?"
The Zhong Miao Yi glared back, but just as he was about to retort that she was spitting blood, the Empress cut him off. It's just like what you said Imperial Consort De, whether it's right or wrong.
The emperor was silent and didn't say much. Soon enough, the imperial kitchens' tasting eunuchs arrived. After saluting, they all began to identify the medicinal cuisine together with the imperial physician.
After discussing for a while, the two of them reached an agreement and knelt before the emperor.
"How is it? Is there any problem with the medicinal food? " It was clear that he did not want to hear a bad answer. He also did not believe that the Zhong Miao Yi would really do anything to the Concubine Xian.
The imperial physician and the eunuch looked each other in the eye, their voices trembling. "In reply to the emperor, the medicinal food brought by Princess Miaoyi is a very nutritious thing. If it's given to Pingyang, it'll help him in his beauty and recuperate his body, but …"
"But what? What are you stuttering for! " The Imperial Consort De said in a stern voice.
The imperial physician sighed at these words. "It's just that there's something in the medicinal cuisine. You can't touch it if you're pregnant!"
