CH 75

Qiqi said she had their child, so after Qiqi’s death, he found an imperial physician to diagnose and treat Qiqi. But she was already dead. What was the use of calling the imperial physician? The gray bearded imperial physician kneeled down on the ground and said tremblingly: “Your Majesty, please spare my life. This official really can’t feel the pulse of niangniang...... But Your Majesty, you can let Master Sun come and try......”

Qiqi was dead, but Shen Zhonghua said she wasn’t, so no one was allowed to say Qiqi was dead. He believed Qiqi was just sleeping or apparently she was awake but pretended to be asleep and just didn’t want to talk to him.

The imperial physician naturally couldn’t find Qiqi’s pulse. How could there be a pulse for a dead person? The so-called Master Sun was just a forensic medical examiner in the palace. It wasn’t good for the imperial physician to directly say that it was a forensic medical examiner so they just call him Master Sun. But even if Master Sun came, how could Shen Zhonghua allow him to use a knife on Qiqi’s body? Not to mention a knife, even a hair wasn’t allowed to be missing. The last time he combed Qiqi’s hair, he found out her hair had fallen a handful, and almost lash out at the entire Qiwu Palace’s maids.

In the end, Master Sun couldn’t find the pregnancy sign of Qiqi so he just said to Shen Zhonghua: “Return to Your Majesty...... Niangniang has been pregnant for three months.”

Three months......

This child was purely an accident. Shen Zhonghua suddenly understood why Qiqi asked him in the dream. If he knew the existence of this child, would he let her give birth?

Yes, that’s right...... he didn’t want Shen Qi to give birth to his child. Why......? Because the mother of his first child must be the empress and Qiqi couldn’t be the empress. Even if he gave her status on the bright side, she could only be a concubine in the harem. His concubine, not the empress, not his wife.

His wife could only be Su Lianxue......

In other words, he thought his wife would only be Su Lianxue......

Therefore, he didn’t intend to let Qiqi give birth to his child at all, or because of his promise to Su Lianxue, he didn’t intend to let other women give birth to his child. He once promised Su Lianxue a couple, a lifetime and only she was his woman, but he didn’t fulfill it later. He always thought it was Qiqi who designed to give him medicine, so he always misunderstood her and hated her.

Because he didn’t fulfill the promise. He promised Su Lianxue the position of Empress. He promised only she could give birth to his first child and still promised Su Lianxue a grand wedding and a crowning empress ceremony.

How could he be so repulsive......

He was obviously taking his anger on Qiqi......

He was the one who failed, and the one who broke the promise was him, but he didn’t want to admit it, so he put the blame on Qiqi......

He clearly had feelings for Qiqi, but because of that promise, he couldn’t face himself. He only told himself that he was just obsessed with her body or he could only think of such a way to punish the woman who did everything to climb his bed......

He was fully aware that the child prevention medicine hurt her body, but because of his obsession with her body, he was greedy for joy with her, and only cared about his own satisfaction but disregarded her body......

Three months......

It was three months ago......

It should be that time, that time he knocked over the medicine bowl, and wanted her again. It was that time that Qiqi didn’t drink medicine......
