Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 239: Concubine Shu is pregnant; Hongli scolds Qi Ru

Ruyi: "Your Majesty knows, I'm not very happy."

Zhen Huan said: "I have never been a queen, so I don't know the hardships of being a queen, but I know that the women in the harem can never have a day of peace. It all depends on how you control them."

"I've taken note of the Empress Dowager's advice."

"You are a smart person, so I naturally feel sorry for you. It's not for anything else, but because you think about Hengti."

When she left Cining Palace, Shupin was waiting for her.

"Queen, Madam Ann."

Ruyi nodded: "Yes, are you waiting for me?"

Yi Huan nodded: "Well, Your Majesty, I have good news for you."

"Let me guess, is it pregnancy?"

Yi Huan curled her lips, her eyes filled with joy: "Yes, I am pregnant. I can finally have my own child."

Ruyi held her hand and they returned to Yikun Palace together.

"Does the Emperor know?"

Yi Huan shook her head: "I just want to tell the Queen."

Ruyi: "Okay, you must take good care of yourself. Although I have asked Imperial Physician Jiang to take care of you, you still can't be careless."

Yihuan's eyes were red: "Sister, you are the only one in this palace who is truly kind to me."

"I don't believe the emperor, but I believe my sister."

Ruyi hugged her and patted her back, comforting her: "Now that you have a child, don't think too much. Raise him well and give birth to a chubby little prince. Just think about how happy you will be."

Yihuan nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, I will listen to my sister."

Ruyi asked Rong Pei to send Yihuan back personally.

Later she called Dr. Jiang over.

"Doctor Jiang, if Concubine Shu gives birth to this child, will her health be severely damaged?"

Jiang Yebin shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Shupin is already very strong, and there will be no symptoms of insufficient fetus due to pregnancy."

Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If you hadn't said that, I really wouldn't be at ease."

"I know you are worried about Concubine Shu, but I find that she may be a little depressed and not in a very good mood. She seems to have no interest in anything."

Ruyi nodded: "She is like this, she is very thoughtful."

"This is not good for the fetus."

"I'll pay more attention."

Qi Ru knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to make a sound.

Hongli asked, "How did Concubine Shu get pregnant? Did you replace her pregnancy medicine without my knowledge?"

Qi Ru's heart skipped a beat. The emperor's question proved that he already knew about his relationship with the empress dowager.

"Your Majesty, I dare not."

"I did give the medicine to Concubine Shu, but I don't know whether she drank it or not."

Hongli narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: Qi Ru cannot be kept.

Qi Ru also knew what the emperor was thinking.

He said, "Your Majesty, I am old and my eyesight is dim. Please allow me to retire and return home."

Hongli said: "You are the head of the Imperial Hospital. If you retire and return home, I will have no one to use by my side. You should stay for now. Once you have trained a few apprentices, I will allow you to return home."

Qi Ru took his leave.

Zhu Quan saw that his master's face looked strange, so he ran over to support him and asked, "What's wrong, master?"

Qi Ru: "I'm afraid the emperor is suspicious of me."

"How come, the Emperor knows that we didn't put that thing in Shupin's medicine?"

"The war between the Emperor and the Queen Mother puts us in a very difficult position."

"What should we do then, Your Majesty?" Zhu Quan said.
