Chapter 1004: Putting on a Show

specifically applied for specialized crystal core bullets designed for sniping. He is currently searching for the best attack opportunity."Captain, inform Hawkwing Captain that the neck I shot is brok...Ripple heard the news Doudou sent back and a smile appeared on her face. These people would never get pregnant, because the one responsible for planting the seeds didn't have any to begin with.

"Master, those women have begun to suspect that you are the one who has tampered with them, preventing them from conceiving. They're about to whisper in the Emperor's ear!"

Dodo said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It seems that this palace has been too kind in my usual dealings, which has led these people to have the wrong impression."

The ripples continued to brew the aroma in his hand, and he said softly.

What is the master going to do

"Of course, we have to give these women a taste of their own medicine."

When the ripples finished conveying the words, she said to Grandmother Sun beside her:

"Spread the word, tomorrow have all the concubines in the palace come to Fengqi Palace. Tell them this palace has something important to tell them."

Yes, My Lady!

Grandma Sun went down to relay the message.

"Lan Zhi, where are my three little treasures"

"Having fun playing in the game room designed by Her Majesty."

Lan Zi immediately bowed and then said with a smile.

Now all three children are two and a half years old, the age that's simply adorable. Besides eating, drinking, using the bathroom, and sleeping every day, when Lianyi finishes her palace duties she will accompany the three of them.

Of course, now the three children have not only palace maids and eunuchs to take care of them, but also Feng who is a top-notch martial arts cat watching over them. Safety is guaranteed. When Lianri can't be with the little ones, it's Feng who takes care of them three.

After a child turns one year old, they will be bathed in diluted spring water to strengthen their body and boost their immunity. This is especially beneficial for frail children like little Jiang Hongye, who now looks no different from other ordinary children.

The three children were healthy and lively, constantly tumbling around playing. Lianyi found them too boisterous, so she sought out the skilled craftsman in the workshop to build a playroom for them, allowing the three children to expend their excess energy.

Of course, this house isn't just about letting children play. Inside, there are wooden logs, seesaws, and toys like building blocks and Chinese rings that encourage learning while they have fun.

Seeing three children playing, she glanced at the sun outside and felt it was almost time for their nap. She instructed Lan Zhi to take the children to bed, and Sun Mama also returned at this time to report.

"My Lady, the matter has been taken care of."

The next day, twenty-three concubines from the inner court all dressed elegantly to pay their respects to Lianyi.

After the ripples motioned for everyone to sit down, he spoke.

"My lords, it has been a year since you entered the palace, and there has still been no good news. This palace is very worried. Today I summoned you all to have the imperial physicians take your pulses and see where the problem lies."

The ripple of her voice fell, and the faces of the ladies below were a mixture of surprise, contemplation, and disdain.

"This palace understands, you all believe that your inability to conceive is the doing of this palace, the empress. But this palace has absolutely no need to do such a thing."

I am the imperial concubine chosen by the late emperor and gave birth to three children for Your Majesty. To protect my sons, I nearly died in that palace coup. Your Majesty loves me deeply and has bestowed upon me the honor of a posthumous title.

No matter who among you gives birth to a prince, they cannot compare to this palace's child, whether legitimate or eldest. You are all unworthy, and even more so since none of you can even conceive a child, you are anxiously spreading rumors to slander this palace.

By the time they reached the end, the rippling sound had grown cold.

“I dare not!”

All the concubines immediately knelt down and began to cry out for mercy.

The ripples this time didn't wake anyone up. She said to Grandma Sun beside her:

"Please call the imperial physician."

"Your Majesty, which imperial physician would you like"

"All the officers on duty today, please come here."

Ripple waved his hand, saying it didn't matter who came.

In less than a stick of incense, ten imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau rushed over with their attendants.

As the imperial physician leading the team, Mu Tai was nervous. He had no idea what emergency had occurred in the palace to summon all the on-duty physicians. All he could think of were the three princes; only if one of them had fallen ill would the Empress react so dramatically.

But when the ten of them entered the main hall of Fengqi Palace, they found that the Empress was sitting calmly at the head, with a line of concubines kneeling below. A few imperial physicians glanced at each other before stepping forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Today, I summoned all the Imperial Physicians. This is not without reason. Please each examine the concubines present and write down your diagnoses individually. You must not communicate with one another."

Ripples instructed directly.

Yes, Your Majesty!

After ten people took their positions, they each found a partner and began to feel each other's pulses through a silk scarf. They carefully wrote down the pulse case summaries, of course, and the diagnosed results were visible to the parties involved.

The emperor in the study on the other side also received the news from Quanfu. He didn't know why Lianyi was making such a big fuss, and he was also worried that something had happened to the child. He immediately put down the scroll in his hand and went straight to Fengqiong Palace.

The pulse reading was still in progress, but a shout of "The Emperor has arrived" brought the process to a halt. Everyone stood up and bowed to greet the Emperor, including Lian Yi.

“This son of a bitch, sooner or later I'll send him to hell, every time he has to be greeted by this old ancestor!”

Though troubled thoughts churned within, a smile graced her face as she greeted him.

"Your Majesty, what brings you to my humble abode at this hour Is there something you wish to discuss with me"

"I heard you dismissed all the imperial physicians on duty. I'm worried about the children, so I came to have a look."

After the Emperor sat down, he didn't see the children, and he knew that Ripple Xuan Taiyi wasn't here for them.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was my fault for being careless and disturbing Your Highness."

The ripples first apologized, then continued speaking:

"As a concubine, I had no choice but to do this. I didn't want to be misunderstood by my sisters, so I asked the imperial physician to check their pulses."

As soon as she finished speaking, she beckoned, and Lan Chi swiftly presented a stack of completed pulse case studies.

Without even looking at the ripples, he handed all of it to the Emperor.

The Emperor quickly finished reading and understood Ripples' intentions. His gaze darkened, and he coldly addressed the concubines below:

"All of you, get out!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A flock of birds, noticing the emperor's low spirits, immediately and obediently took their leave.

With a wave of her hand, she sent the imperial physicians away. Only then, with reddened eyes, did she address the Emperor:

"Your Majesty, when I entered the East Palace, you were still the Crown Prince. Although it was the late Emperor's decree to wed us, our journey together has been fraught with many twists and turns. Yet, Your Majesty has always been my pillar of support. Everything I do is ultimately for your sake."

Moreover, as for matters concerning the royal heir, on the very day these concubines entered the palace, this servant pledged that any who became pregnant would be rewarded.

But a year passed, and their bellies remained still. Suspicion then turned towards me. I am innocent!

So today I summoned the imperial physician to feel their pulses. I want to know if there's something wrong with them, or if it was me, the Empress, who did something to them. I need to clear my name.

Lian Yi finished speaking and started wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, putting on an expression of having been deeply wronged.

At this time, the emperor's heart was also very complex. Through these pulse cases, he came to a conclusion that all his concubines were physically healthy, with neither cold palace nor poisoning, but they just couldn't get pregnant.

Then, to put it another way, the only one who could be at fault is himself. But if he had a problem, the Empress wouldn't have given him three children.l make sure you're well-fed and clothed.""Old Xu laughed with a somewhat ferocious expression."And the beautiful young man who had been pushed to the ground got up and sat in his arms, triumphantly lo...
