When Qin Rushuang returned to the palace, Qin Fanghao had already been taken back from the clan mansion.
Also coming back together was Dr. Cao.
Qin Rushuang had always had doubts about the fetus in Qin Fanghao's belly, and she didn't care to watch Qin Fanghao's jokes, so she asked her servants to seal the side courtyard and prevent Qin Fanghao from going out.
"Yi Cao, I've been really troublesome to you these past two days."
Doctor Cao quickly said: "Wherever, it's my blessing that the princess can use me!"
"I called Dr. Cao here because I wanted to ask Dr. Cao, when you were checking Qin Fanghao's pulse in the court that day, I saw that you were frowning all the time, but what did you do to the fetus in Qin Fanghao's belly?
Suspect?"
Dr. Cao paused, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Originally, I shouldn't have told the princess such unwarranted things, but since the princess asked, I told the truth."
"Miss Qin's pulse condition is very strange. It is indeed a happy pulse, but the trace of a happy pulse seems to be absent. If it is said that the fetus is in danger, you can examine it carefully and there is nothing wrong. I have never heard of it or seen it."
"In other words, is Qin Fanghao's happy pulse very different from the ordinary happy pulse?"
"That's not the case. Everyone's physical condition is different, and their diagnosed pulse conditions are also different. There's just one thing I'm confused about."
"Logically speaking, if the happy pulse feels so weak and seems to be absent, and it has only been more than a month, the child will probably not be saved. However, I have been eating and living with Miss Qin these past few days, and I feel that Miss Qin is not healthy.
So weak, and there are no symptoms of redness."
"The princess still remembers that when she took the concubine, she also asked me to check Miss Qin's pulse. At that time, I said that Qin Qianqian had menstrual cold disease and it was difficult to get pregnant. Even if she was pregnant, it would be difficult to save the fetus.
But now it seems that this pregnancy seems dangerous. In fact, after several days of trouble, no problems have been found. I can only say that Miss Qin is a lucky person with her own destiny."
Qin Rushuang lowered her eyes and thought, then recalled the jar of rouge the owner of the rouge shop mentioned.
Qin Fanghao often used that jar of rouge and didn't feel any physical discomfort. Combined with what Dr. Cao just said, I'm afraid there is something fishy about the child in Qin Fanghao's belly!
She guessed that Dr. Cao must have discovered something, but she didn't dare to say anything without evidence.
Qin Rushuang did not want to force it. After all, Dr. Cao was just a doctor. He would not dare to talk nonsense unless he was 100% sure. He could only thank Dr. Cao and let him go back to the palace to serve the imperial concubine.
Qin Rushuang was ready to investigate by herself.
As soon as I walked to the door of the side courtyard, I saw Linglong standing outside the side courtyard.
"Why don't you go in?"
Linglong smiled bitterly and said: "Princess, please stop teasing me. How dare I go in now?"
Qin Rushuang smiled: "Just don't go in. She has nowhere to vent her anger. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you. I will arrange other servants to take care of Qin Fanghao, so you don't have to
Go in, rest in the house for the next few days, I will help you get your family out in a few days."
Linglong was very grateful in her heart, but she hesitated a little when she thought of the trouble with the child in Qin Fanghao's belly.
Should I tell the princess what I know?
Linglong has gone through too many things in the past few days. She was just abandoned by Qin Fanghao, and she is very wary of other people.
She thought silently in her heart that she would not tell the princess about this yet.
Let's wait until the princess sends her and her family to Jiangnan as promised and the family reunites safely.
After all, this is Linglong’s last bargaining chip.
While Linglong was thinking, the sound of crackling and smashing came from the side courtyard.
"Let that bitch Linglong come in! Let her come in quickly, I will beat her, this perfidious bitch, to death today!"
"Why are you stopping me? Let me out! Let me out!"
…
Qin Rushuang frowned and said to Linglong: "You go down first, I'll go in and see her."
Linglong said worriedly: "Qin Fanghao is very angry right now. The princess is pregnant, so you should be more careful."
When Qin Rushuang heard this, she suddenly became interested.
She touched her lower abdomen, looked at Linglong and said: "I am already more than three or four months old. The fetus is already stable. She has only been diagnosed in the belly for more than a month. I am not afraid of her making such a big noise. I
What are you afraid of?"
Linglong's face turned pale at that moment, and she thought Qin Rushuang had seen something, but she soon realized that Qin Rushuang was probably testing her.
But that's fine. Qin Rushuang was on guard earlier, so she didn't have to feel so guilty.
When she arrived safely in Jiangnan, she wrote a letter telling Qin Rushuang the truth.
Qin Rushuang did not miss the flash of surprise on Linglong's face, and became even more convinced that there must be something wrong with the child in Qin Fanghao's belly.
Pushing open the door of the side courtyard, Qin Rushuang was almost hit by the flying tea cup.
Fortunately, she was quick and able to avoid it.
When the servant saw Qin Rushuang coming, he hurriedly grabbed Qin Fanghao: "Be brave! Be careful of hurting the princess!"
When Qin Fanghao saw Qin Rushuang coming, he became even more excited: "What? Are you here to see my joke too? I tell you, don't even think about it!"
"Do you think you can trap me here forever? When the prince comes back, he will let me out immediately!"
Qin Rushuang shook her head and said with a mocking smile, "Don't you know yet? The prince has come back a long time ago and arrived at the house before me."
"How is it possible! If the prince came back, why wouldn't he come to see me? You lied to me!"
Qin Rushuang looked at Qin Fanghao with pity on her face.
"You don't know yet, right?"
"what do you know?"
"Do you really think that the crimes you and your mother committed can be uncovered so easily? Why do you think you were released without any reason? The prince and I have already reached an agreement."
"What agreement?!"
"Of course it's about what to do with you and your mother."
"Since you don't know, I'll tell you now!"
"Aunt Liu...oh no, we can no longer call her Aunt Liu. She has been demoted to a servant by her father's letter of divorce."
"How is it possible? You are talking nonsense. My father likes my aunt so much, how is it possible?" Qin Fanghao's face was full of disbelief.
"You don't need to worry about it. Instead of worrying about your mother, you might as well worry about yourself. Do you want to know what Wang Ye and I have decided to do with you after our final discussion?"
Qin Rushuang looked at her condescendingly: "From today until the time of your delivery, you cannot step out of this side courtyard."
"Ground me? Don't even think about it! Even if I go out, what can you do to me? Will the prince really blame me?"
Qin Rushuang smiled and shook her head.
"Do you really think that the prince and I are the only ones discussing this matter? Your decision was decided by the concubine and your majesty together."
"Your Majesty's golden words, if you don't obey, you will be punished by death for resisting the decree! What? Are you tired of living? You don't even want your own life?"
"Or if you are really that brave, then I won't stop you now."
