After she finished speaking, Emperor Wen Hui’s gaze became a little solemn.
Shen Qing was so angry that she almost spat out blood. What could Shen Qing say? How could she not show concerns for the emperor’s safety?
The princes of the royal family also understood what Shen Miao meant. Prince Li paused and said, “This Miss Shen is good at talking.”
“Guard.” Without any hesitation, Emperor Wen Hui said, “Go and get the imperial physician. Something happened to Miss Shen in the palace, so I naturally have to investigate it thoroughly!”
“Eldest Sister, don’t move.” Shen Miao said indifferently, “The murderer might be hiding in the crowd at this moment. After the imperial physician comes, he will take Eldest Sister’s pulse here. If you move, you might make the pain worse.”
Before Ren Wanyun could speak, Emperor Wen Hui nodded and said, “That’s right.”
Hearing that, they didn’t dare to refute.
Letting the imperial physician to treat Shen Qing meant that Shen Qing’s pregnancy would be exposed in front of all the officials. At the thought of this, Ren Wanyun’s body could not help but tremble, and her fear finally spread to Shen Qing.
As Shen Qing endured the pain, more fear surged in her heart. “Mother, don’t…”
However, what could Ren Wanyun do? Emperor Wen Hui had already spoken, so she could not disobey the decree. Ren Wanyun was at a loss as to what to do. She raised her head and looked in Shen Gui’s direction, hoping that he would help her, but when she met his eyes, they were filled with blame and anger.
For a moment, Ren Wanyun’s limbs were cold and her heart was filled with despair. She did not even have the time to comfort Shen Qing, who was in her arms.
“What’s wrong with your aunt?” Feng Anning whispered into Shen Miao’s ear, “Why does she look like she’s very afraid?”
Shen Miao smiled, and Luo Xueyan frowned. She found Ren Wanyun’s abnormal behavior a little strange, but she couldn’t figure it out. She looked at Chen Ruoqiu and Shen Yue.
Shen Yue was frightened by Shen Qing’s appearance. She grabbed the corner of Chen Ruoqiu’s shirt and was a little flustered. Chen Ruoqiu also stared at Ren Wanyun without moving. After living with Ren Wanyun for so many years, Chen Ruoqiu naturally knew that her second sister-in-law had always been able to handle all kinds of situations with ease. There was only one reason why she lost her composure today, and that was that she couldn’t handle it this time.
Shen Yue whispered, “Is Eldest Sister really poisoned? Mom, is Fifth Sister…”
“Yue!” Chen Ruoqiu stopped her sternly. She couldn’t help but glance at Shen Miao. There were a few people between them, so she couldn’t see Shen Miao’s eyes clearly. However, when she saw that the corners of Shen Miao’s mouth seemed to be slightly curled up, Chen Ruoqiu couldn’t help but be shocked. She felt that what happened today was definitely related to Shen Miao, but was Shen Miao really bold enough to poison someone in the palace? However, no matter what, Shen Qing’s reputation today would be ruined.
Prince Yu’s face darkened at the sudden turn of events. This was definitely not a good time to continue talking about his own matter. A mocking smile appeared on his face. Today, Shen Miao had escaped it. No matter if it was Shen Miao who poisoned Shen Qing or not, if Shen Miao thought she could get away with this little trick, then she was too naive. After the banquet, he could still talk about it with Emperor Wen Hui. There was no way Shen Miao could escape his grip.
The imperial physician rushed over very quickly. The imperial physicians in the palace were all old people who could only enter the Imperial Hospital because of their rich experience. However, the imperial physician who came looked to be in his early twenties and was very handsome, making some of the young ladies unable to take their eyes off of him.
