Chapter 175 The Queen Who Used as a Shield in a Good Pregnancy Novel (25)
Wen Songzhi opened the entrance to the secret chamber. After walking along a short path, the group heard the clanging of chains, accompanied by Li Yanxiu's weak and angry curses.
Wen Songzhi remained calm.
Ever since he was locked in the secret room, Li Yanxiu could only curse for eight hours out of twelve hours a day, and the remaining four hours were for rest, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep cursing.
However, after being scolded so much, Li Yanxiu's voice has become less pleasant.
It wasn't just hoarse, it was also rough, sounding like the voice of an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Le Yan blinked, listened to Li Yanxiu's cursing for a moment, then shook her head in disgust. What kind of nonsense was that? It was just Guan Wensongzhi being called a "castrated dog" over and over again.
Has he forgotten that he is now a eunuch?
Of the four people present, three expressed their disdain for Li Yanxiu, while only Judge Liu, who was becoming increasingly panicked, felt that his life was about to end.
Who exactly is the person whom Eunuch Wen has imprisoned in this secret room, someone even the Empress knows about?
Is it really possible for him to know such a thing?
He might be finished by the end of today!
As Judge Liu walked, he became increasingly uneasy, feeling as if he were walking towards the gates of hell.
He really wanted to just stop right there, say goodbye, and not get involved in this kind of thing.
But he didn't dare.
After all, he had people on both sides: one was the ruthless Supervisor Wen, and the other was the head maid of Weiyang Palace. He had no way to escape.
Liu Yuanpan was heartbroken, but he followed along with the others, ready to die for them.
Upon entering the secret room and seeing the disheveled and wretched person, my heart sank even further.
"This... this... this..."
Judge Liu stared wide-eyed at the man with the emperor's face in disbelief. He turned his head with difficulty to look at the Empress who had brought him there, and his legs went weak so much that he knelt down on both knees. "Your Majesty... ... spare my life!"
He no longer dared to think about what was going on; he was afraid that if he figured it out, he wouldn't even be able to leave this room.
Looking at the flustered Imperial Physician Liu kneeling and begging for mercy, Le Yan said calmly, "Get up. I am not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Judge Liu trembled, but still dared not raise his head.
He thought to himself, "The Empress is not one to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but Chief Eunuch Wen is!"
Anyone who's ever worked in the palace knows that Chief Eunuch Wen has taken countless lives!
Liu, the imperial physician, was trembling like he was having an epileptic seizure. Wen Songzhi couldn't stand it and kicked him directly, saying, "The Empress wants you to get up."
The voice wasn't loud, but its power was profound. Judge Liu, on the verge of tears, scrambled to his feet, his head still hanging low, afraid that if he raised it, he would see something terrible.
Le Yan glanced at them out of the corner of her eye, then ignored them.
Instead, he looked at Li Yanxiu, who had been imprisoned for a month, covered in wounds, emaciated, and in a miserable state.
She frowned, already having an answer in her mind. It was probably because Wen Songzhi would come and teach him a lesson whenever he had the chance.
Le Yan didn't feel sorry for Li Yanxiu. She was just wondering if the baby in his belly was okay after being tortured like this.
Thinking to herself, Le Yan called out, "Judge Liu, take his pulse."
As soon as she spoke, everyone turned to look at her.
Including Li Yanxiu, who looked completely dazed.
Wen Songzhi did not destroy his eyes, so he knew that Le Yan was here.
But he didn't dare to look up before, after all, he knew his current situation and really didn't want to show her such a miserable side.
But he heard her say that she wanted Dr. Liu to take his pulse!
Why is that?
Don't you want him to die?
Does this mean... she still has feelings for him?
Li Yanxiu harbored delusions, his dark phoenix eyes fixed intently on Le Yan, trying to discern something from her face.
But I didn't see the emotions he was looking for.
Aside from a strange sense of anticipation, there were no other complex emotions.
Li Yanxiu couldn't help but wonder, what exactly was she expecting?
Wen Songzhi, who was also staring at Leyan, was equally curious and puzzled.
Only Ruan Ruan and Le Yan exchanged a glance, both waiting with anticipation for the results of Liu Yuanpan's pulse diagnosis.
At this moment, Liu Yuanpan, who was being watched by them, really only wanted to die.
His head was throbbing, he was mentally devastated, and he had no idea what year or month it was.
He seriously doubted whether he had gone mad.
Otherwise, how could he have detected pregnancy from a man's pulse?!
Why? ! !
Judge Liu trembled all over, his face expressionless, his heart ashen, and he had no will to live.
Wen Songzhi noticed his unusual expression, his eyes flickered, and he asked, "Judge Liu, what was the result?"
The brown pupils looked at Judge Liu, who was so frightened that he trembled again.
Without turning her head, Le Yan reached out and patted Wen Songzhi, telling him to tone down his imposing manner and not to frighten Judge Liu.
Then he smiled and said, "Judge Liu, just say whatever you see."
Upon hearing this, Judge Liu slowly raised his head to look at her, pondered for a moment, and made a decision.
He coughed lightly, striking a pose, "Your Majesty, the child's pulse is smooth and rapid, like a rolling bead, clearly a sign of good fortune! Moreover, the pulse is strong, indicating a stable pregnancy, and the child will surely grow strong and healthy!"
Li Yanxiu: "..."
Wen Songzhi: "???"
Upon hearing Judge Liu's words, apart from Le Yan and Ruan Ruan who beamed with joy, Li Yanxiu and Wen Songzhi both had their pupils dilate and looked on in disbelief.
"Absurd!" Li Yanxiu, the person diagnosed with pregnancy, immediately shouted angrily.
He was originally weak and listless, but now the stimulation made him feel "alive" again.
"Liu Dao! You're talking nonsense!"
Li Yanxiu pointed at Imperial Physician Liu and roared, "I am a man, how can I be pregnant!"
Upon hearing the word "朕" (zhen, meaning "I, the Emperor"), Imperial Physician Liu silently closed his eyes. He was doomed. This person really was the Emperor! What were the Empress and Chief Eunuch Wen doing?!
Why must we involve him?
His life is in danger!
Concerned about his own life, Judge Liu completely disregarded how outrageous and insane the male pregnancy was.
He spoke softly, "It's a pregnancy pulse."
"Although I don't know why, you are pregnant, and it looks like you're having multiple pregnancies."
Normally, to see the condition of the fetus in the womb, one would have to wait at least several more months, until the mother's belly became noticeably pregnant.
But the emperor's pregnancy was rather strange; when he took the emperor's pulse, he felt as if there were many people inside the womb.
The pulse was all over the place, a complete mess.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the emperor had eaten many people in his stomach.
Judge Liu looked numb, and Wen Songzhi was no less so. His eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at Li Yanxiu, who had been diagnosed as pregnant and possibly having multiple pregnancies. He suddenly remembered the order that the Empress had given him earlier.
Half a month ago, the Empress asked him to bring a royal physician to examine Li Yanxiu's pulse.
When Imperial Physician Liu announced the pregnancy, the Empress's eyes showed only a smile, devoid of any other emotion.
Could it be that all of this was arranged by the Empress?
Did Your Majesty already know that Li Yanxiu would be diagnosed with pregnancy?
Wen Songzhi frowned, unsure whether Li Yanxiu was truly pregnant or not, and simply turned his gaze to Le Yan.
Le Yan stepped forward, looked at the bewildered Li Yanxiu, and smiled leisurely, "Are you shocked?"
"Aren't you the one who most longs to have children? Why do you seem unable to accept this great news?"
Le Yan bent down slightly, a mocking smile curving her lips. "I went through a lot of trouble to find a way for you to have children. You can't let my good intentions go to waste. You must take good care of this baby and bring them into the world healthy."
With each word Le Yan spoke, Li Yanxiu's eyes grew redder, until finally, he shed a tear of blood.
Li Yanxiu: "You... hate me... to this extent?"
