Yun Shang fixed her eyes on Lady Hui, thinking that it was known to all that she was recommended into the palace by Yun Shang and Luo Qingyan's, so It would be strange if she didn't say something.
"Your Majesty, It seems that Lady Hui has some slight symptoms of poisoning." Yun Shang said indifferently with a frown, "Your Majesty, may I take a pulse for Lady Hui?"
After thinking for a while, Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "okay."
Yun Shang curtsied. Luo Qingyan hurried to help her stand up, passed through the middle of the hall, and went to Lady Hui.
"Lady Hui?" Yun Shang spoke softly.
Hearing this, Lin Youran hurriedly reached out her hand. Yun Shang took her pulse carefully and stared at her pale face. After a while, Yun Shang turned around and bowed to the emperor. "Congratulations, your majesty. Lady Hui is pregnant."
Silence reigned in the hall for a while. As Yun Shang saw the empress suddenly tightened her hand and sharp nail cover passed by her palm, she frowned sharply. But she quickly reacted and raised a smile. "Really? Lady Hui is pregnant? Congratulations, your majesty! "
The crowd followed, "Congratulations, your majesty."
Staring at Yun Shang for a moment, Xia Huanyu kept silent and then smiled. "Excellent. Good things come in pairs."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "But, there is something wrong..."
The hall quieted down again and everyone looked at Yun Shang.
Yun Shang hesitated for a moment before she said, "I'm not a good doctor. It's better to have the imperial physician treat her."
"What happened? Don't worry. Why are you hesitating? " Xia Huanyu looked at Yun Shang coldly.
"I'm afraid she has eaten or used something unclean in the palace. If I'm right, she should have taken some musk or saffron flower. Luckily, not too much yet. The one who poisoned her may have been trying to gradually make her childless. However, they didn't expect she could get pregnant at such a short time. Because of this, she suffers from severe sickness occasionally. I'm afraid that if she continues to do so, she might lose her baby. " Yun Shang hurriedly asked.
Frowning slightly, Xia Huanyu turned to the empress and asked, "What do you think about it?"
The empress looked embarrassed too. Hearing Xia Huanyu's question, she slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "How could there be such an insidious person in the imperial household who dares murder the royal child. I'll investigate it thoroughly and give Lady Hui an explanation."
Lady Hui looked pale and kept vomiting as if she was very uncomfortable.
The empress added, "It seems like Lady Hui is badly sick. Now that she is pregnant and in poor health, escort her back early and send for an imperial physician to see and give her some medicine to relieve her."
Xia Huanyu nodded and said, "Send her back to the palace."
Yun Shang winked at Ning Qian. Ning Qian rose from her seat and said, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, your majesty."
"Really?" Ning Qian looked at Ning Qian, as if wondering why she stood out at this time.
The empress looked even angrier. She asked, gritting her teeth, "Lady Xiang said it was inappropriate. Why?"
"Lady Rui said she was like this because she had eaten or used something unclean. And if she kept doing this, the baby in her belly would be in danger. If I didn't guess wrong, the impure stuff must have been put in Lady Hui's palace. Now we still haven't figured out what it is, but if Lady Hui go back to her palace again. I'm afraid... " Ning Qian bit her lips and said nothing. But everyone understood what she meant. She was afraid that Lady Hui would lose her baby soon.
Hearing what Lady Xiang said, Lady Hui stepped back and kept covering her belly, "I'm not going back. I'm not going back."
Xia Huanyu pondered for a while and rotated the jade ring on his thumb. After a long time of silence, he asked Ning Qian, "Do you have some idea?"
Ning Qian thought for a while, and curtsied. "It would be too late to clean up a new palace now. After all, Lady Hui looks really bad. There was a side hall in my Xiang Zhu Palace. Although there was no one living in it, it was clean enough for it was cleaned every day. We could temporarily settle her in the side hall and she could move out when the new palace is ready."
Both Xia Huanyu and Su Ruji, as well as the others were puzzled. As a matter of fact, Lady Hui was like a hot potato that everyone should keep away from her, for fear of getting into trouble. But they didn't expect that there were still one who wanted to hold it.
The empress sneered. She responded quickly, "Since Lady Xiang wants, then let it be."
Hearing Lady Hui repeatedly expressed her gratitude, Ning Qian smiled and said, "In this case, I'll go back with Lady Hui to order servants to clean up and send for an imperial physician to check her."
Xia Huanyu nodded. "Go ahead. After the banquet, I will go to the Xiang Zhu Palace."
Then she held Lady Hui's arm and left the Taiji hall.
It's just the beginning of a good show.
