Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 161 The Truth

In the entire delivery room, apart from the unconscious concubine Guaerjia Wanlin on the bed, there was only the Crown Princess Wanyu, two imperial physicians, and Nanny Chuntao and Xitala.

Wanyu: "The two imperial doctors, please speak directly if you have anything to say now."

Cui Guangbai gave Yang Guangren a look, and Yang Guangren glared at him secretly, then sighed in his heart.

【Finally, I was dragged into this disaster! 】

Yang Guangren said respectfully, "Your Highness, when Concubine Consort was found to be pregnant, you should have heard the results of Doctor Cui's pulse diagnosis."

"Although Concubine Jin was pregnant at the time, she already had musk in her body."

Wanyu nodded, "Doctor Cui did say that."

"Could this incident still be related to Musk?"

Confused, she asked back, "But didn't you guys clear the musk from Concubine Concubine's body later?"

Imperial Physician Yang Guangren sighed and said, "Your Highness, it is indeed related to the musk in Concubine Consort's body."

Wanyu frowned.

"Doctor Yang, there's no need to beat around the bush with me. Just speak directly."

Yang Guangren: "After I took over the concubine's pregnancy, I found out from her pulse that there was musk in her body, which would be extremely harmful to the fetus."

"So, I worked with Imperial Physician Cui to prescribe a prescription to try to remove the musk from Concubine Concubine's body."

"At that time, Imperial Physician Cui and I were not completely sure."

"After all, because of the pregnancy, we have to be more conservative in terms of medication dosage, otherwise it is easy to harm the fetus."

"So it's very difficult to completely remove the musk from Concubine Concubine's body."

"But neither you nor I could have imagined that the musk in Concubine Jin's body would actually be completely removed."

"I just looked at the scars on the young prince's body and was surprised to find that the reason why the musk in Concubine Jin's body was cleared so quickly and thoroughly was not only because of the prescriptions I and I prescribed, but also because of the young prince."

Aunt Xitala and Chuntao looked at each other, both with serious expressions in their eyes.

Wanyu also frowned, "What does it have to do with the young prince?"

Yang Guangren explained, "Looking at the scars on the young prince's body, we believe that the musk in the concubine's body was absorbed by the young prince when she first became pregnant."

"As the little prince grew bigger in the concubine's belly, the musk in the concubine's body was absorbed more and more by the little prince."

"This is also why, even though I and Imperial Physician Cui have already cleared the musk from Concubine Concubine's body, she still has an unstable pregnancy."

Wanyu was shocked and her hands on the table trembled.

"Doctor Yang is saying that the scars on the young prince's body are due to the absorption of the mother's musk?"

Yang Guangren sighed and replied, "That's right."

"It is precisely because the little prince absorbed too much musk from his mother that his body became so weak that it was difficult for him to survive."

"In addition, the concubine had a difficult delivery, which ultimately resulted in the little prince being injured at birth."

Imperial Physician Yang was also hinting to the Crown Princess that if it weren't for that bowl of medicine, not only would the little prince die, but the concubine's life would also be in danger.

Wanyu asked, "What Doctor Yang means is that even if the concubine hadn't suffered a difficult birth, even if the little prince was born safely, he would not be able to grow up safely because of the musk."

Yang Guangren: "Yes."

"However, it is precisely because of the young prince that, although Concubine Jin suffered some injuries from the difficult birth, the musk in her body was completely cleared."

"As long as Concubine Fujin takes good care of herself, there will be no problem in getting pregnant again."

After hearing what Yang Guangren said, Wanyu felt somewhat relieved that she had made the right decision.

She protected her sister.

But I also feel sorry for my nephew who died at birth. He died to protect his mother from disaster.

Although she knew the truth, she didn't dare let her sister know.

She believed that any mother would not be able to forgive herself easily if she found out that her child died because she was trying to stop a disaster!

And she knew very well how much her second sister was looking forward to the birth of this child.

After listening to the explanations of the two imperial doctors, Wanyu gave them a knock.

"Doctor Cui, Doctor Yang, I hope no one else will ever know about this!"

"Even if it's a concubine, you can't reveal it!"

All four of them looked at the Crown Princess in surprise.

However, Wanyu did not explain much.

After having two imperial doctors prescribe some medicine for the concubine to recuperate, they were allowed to leave.

When she, Aunt Xitala and Chuntao were the only ones left in the room, Wanyu looked at the two people in front of her.

"You should have heard the meaning of what I just said."

"When your master wakes up, do you know how to report it?"

The two of them didn't understand what the Crown Princess meant. In their understanding, they should be honest and frank with their master without reservation.

Wanyu sighed.

"You should be able to see how much Second Sister values ​​this child, right?"

The two nodded dejectedly.

Wanyu asked, "Did you understand what the imperial physician said just now?"

The two nodded again.

Wanyu: "Then you should understand that the little prince died at birth because of the musk in Second Sister's body."

The old man and the young man had tears in their eyes.

Wanyu: "If Second Sister knew that the young prince died because of her, do you think she would be able to forgive herself given her personality?"

Chuntao immediately knelt down and wiped the tears from her face with her hands.

"The master fell into someone else's scheme, so he failed to save the young prince."

Xitala Ma also knelt down. She was the wet nurse of the concubine who had made her father-in-law. She always treated the concubine as her own child and loved her the most.

After understanding the Crown Princess's hint, she immediately agreed with Chuntao's explanation.

She would rather let her master blame the crime on others than watch her master complaining about herself because of self-blame and guilt!

Wanyu nodded and asked, "Then do you know who did it?"

Chun Tao kowtowed and said, "Please give your instructions, Crown Princess."

Wanyu asked, "Do you know where the musk in Second Sister's body comes from?"

The two shook their heads.

Only Li Jia, Wanlin's nanny, and Xiao Fuzi, the trusted eunuch who handled the bed board, knew about this.

Neither of them was here at the moment.

Wanyu said, "It was Depin who did it."

"So she wasn't wronged!"

"You can just put the blame on Depin."

"When your mistress wakes up, tell her that I arranged for someone to find out. She will believe it."

"But tell her not to act rashly if she's not sure in the future. Right now, the most important thing is to take good care of her body."

"I'll take action on Depin's side!"

"If she is not absolutely sure, she should not expose herself. She should prioritize her own safety!"

"No matter what Concubine De is, she is still the biological mother of the Fourth Prince. Once it is exposed, the Fourth Prince will definitely have a knot in his heart."

When they heard that it was Concubine De, they were already horrified and completely incredulous.

They once followed their master to Yonghe Palace to pay their respects to Concubine De. At that time, Concubine De was gentle and kind to their master, acting like a good mother-in-law.

I never expected that Depin would be so cruel to her own master behind his back!

Thinking of the little master who died at birth, and the master who is still lying unconscious in bed, their hearts are filled with hatred!

Both of them couldn't hold back the tears in their eyes, which kept flowing down.

I wish I could rush into Yonghe Palace immediately and tear off Depin's hypocritical mask!

According to the Crown Princess, revenge is fine, but one must be sure of it.

The two kowtowed respectfully and said, "Your servants will obey the Crown Princess."

"I will definitely persuade the master."

Wanyu nodded in relief and then gave a few more instructions.

"You must take good care of the master and persuade her to cheer up as soon as possible. Don't hurt yourself."

"I'm in Yuqing Palace, so it's not convenient for me to come to the South Third House often."

"In a few days, I will convey the imperial decree to my family and ask my aunt to come to the palace."

"Then my aunt will come to visit my second sister. Please tell her to take good care of her health and don't let those who care about her worry."
