Chapter 101 Let them go
Upon hearing this, Ye Shishu finally felt relieved!
However, she still asked with concern, "Eunuch Qi, is Physician Hua still in Jinfu Palace?"
Eunuch Qi nodded. "Although the little prince is safe, Consort Yan's pregnancy is unstable. His Majesty wants Physician Hua to stay in the palace to help Consort Yan with her pregnancy, but Physician Hua disagrees. His Majesty sent me to invite the Prince and Princess over so that you can persuade Physician Hua."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shishu's eyes darkened.
Yu Chi Ling suddenly squeezed her palm and said to Qi Sui, "I'll trouble Eunuch Qi to lead the way."
Before long, the couple followed Qi Sui to the gate of Jinfu Palace.
However, Yu Chi Ling did not go inside. Instead, he said to Qi Sui, "We will not go into Consort Yan's palace. Please tell Father Emperor that we will wait here for Physician Hua."
Qi Sui understood his meaning, opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing his cold and stern expression, he nodded knowingly, then turned and entered Jinfu Palace.
Soon.
Yu Chisheng appeared with a cold and indifferent expression.
"Ling'er, what do you mean by this? No concubine in the harem has conceived for many years. I finally had a son, but now he is almost in danger. Do you think I would be unwilling to borrow someone from you?"
Faced with his accusation, Yuchi Ling did not defend himself, but said, "Since Father Emperor knows that no concubines in the harem have given birth to imperial heirs for many years, he might as well investigate the reason. Logically speaking, Father Emperor is in his prime and has never lacked nourishment, so the scarcity of offspring should not be Father Emperor's problem."
A dark cloud instantly settled over Yu Chisheng's face.
He had two sons and four daughters. His two sons were born on the same day, month, and year, and his four daughters were also born in the same year, which shows that he was in good health.
However, in the past ten years or so, none of the concubines in the harem have borne children...
Yu Chi Ling lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Father, instead of keeping Physician Hua in the palace to accompany Consort Yan during her pregnancy, why not ask Physician Hua to think of a way to help the concubines in the harem conceive smoothly?"
Yu Chisheng clenched his fists tightly behind his back.
Yu Chi Ling took a step back and said, "Father, it's getting late. Your Majesty and I need to go to General Zhihe's residence. My mother, brother, and sister-in-law's suspicions today reminded me that I need to bring Doctor Hua with me, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Father-in-law."
As he spoke, he sighed bitterly, “In this world, people’s words are a fearsome thing. When I was seriously injured, I was slandered. Even after I recovered, I was still suspected. Alas! I am terrified. I am afraid that one day I will be impeached and accused of deceiving the emperor.”
Yu Chisheng witnessed Gu Simo's efforts to protect Consort Yan's pregnancy, and at this moment he felt only admiration for Gu Simo, with no more suspicion towards her.
Thinking of his earlier doubts about his son's injuries, he felt guilty and his expression softened. "Your father knows your grievances. Don't worry, your father will not let anyone slander you again. Physician Hua is preparing medicine to protect Consort Yan's pregnancy. After Consort Yan takes the medicine, you can take her away."
Only today, reminded by his son, did he realize that it was time to thoroughly purge the harem...
……
About an hour later, Gu Simo finally came out of Jinfu Palace.
The three of them rode together in a carriage to General Zhihe's residence.
On the way, Gu Simo took the initiative to say to the couple, "Consort Yan's miscarriage was due to a problem with her daily herbal medicine. However, the medicine was made in a very subtle way, with some cold ingredients added. Taking it occasionally is not a big problem, but if you eat it several times a day, over time, these delicate ladies are prone to miscarriage if they have any cold or fever symptoms."
Ye Shishu and Yuchi Ling exchanged a glance, the answer of which was self-evident.
"Second sister-in-law, have you told the Emperor all this truthfully?"
"How could I dare!" Gu Simo covered her mouth and laughed. "I only prepared a prescription for Consort Yan to help with the pregnancy, and I also wrote her a recipe. As for anything else, I didn't say a word."
"That's good." Ye Shishu smiled with relief.
The palace is not their territory, and besides, Consort Lan has been acting as the Empress's deputy in charge of the inner palace for many years. There are some things Prince Cheng can say, but he has to choose the right opportunity to say them, while others cannot speak out of turn, or they will surely get into trouble.
Ye Gengxin and his two sons, Ye Shiting and Ye Shijun, were overjoyed at Yuchi Ling's recovery.
After all, they already knew the truth, and Yu Chi Ling's 'recovery' meant that they no longer needed to help him hide it.
Upon hearing that the Prince Cheng's carriage had arrived, the father and his two sons came out together to greet it.
When Gu Simo stepped off the carriage, Ye Shijun could not hide his joy. He rushed to her, grabbed her hand, and exclaimed happily, "Mo'er, you're finally back!"
Ye Gengxin and Ye Shiting stared wide-eyed at his actions.
what's going on? !
Unfortunately, the second young master hadn't seen his wife for two days, and upon seeing her again, he practically wanted to hug and kiss her. He completely forgot about his father and elder brother, and blurted out, "I heard you went to the palace, and I was worried sick all day. If you hadn't come back, I was going to go to the palace to look for you! How is everything? Has anyone made things difficult for you?"
"You brat! What are you doing?" Ye Gengxin roared angrily, his face dark. "Are you possessed? Let that girl go right now!"
