Chapter 270 Dark Ghost
"Empress, fortunately Lady Shi is in good health. If it were any other pregnant woman, I'm afraid..." The female doctor shook her head.
"I gave Lady Shi two injections to stabilize the fetus. Now I am waiting for the imperial physician to take another look at Lady Shi. She will just need to take a few doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine and she will be fine."
The female doctor who was accompanying the queen said calmly.
Shen Ningyue, who was supported by Pu Jie and sat down on the bed, looked at Shi Qingzhang, who was pale and could not hide his panic. She reached out and held Shi Qingzhang's hand, "You heard what my female doctor said. It's okay. Don't be afraid."
"Go get a cup of warm water to warm Lady Shi's hands and help her relax."
After the imperial physician Xiaoji invited from the Imperial Hospital came to examine Shi Qingzhang again and prescribed medicine, Shen Ningyue asked, "How did you step on the pearl on the ground and fall?"
"I heard from Sui Wan that the child of Consort Bai in Nanxun Palace was gone, but Your Majesty restored her to the position of Consort Shu, so I wondered if I should also send a gift of condolence.
There are only a few things in my storeroom. At the beginning of this year, the palace sent some very good pearls from the South China Sea, which I made into hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and armlets. I asked Sui Wan to take people to get them out, intending to give them to Shupin.
Before packing them up, I was sitting at the table looking at them and felt that the luster of some of the pearls seemed to be dull and yellowish, so I went to the window sill and wanted to take a closer look under the sunlight.
My movements were not big, but before I could reach the window, the pearl string was scattered by me, and the beads fell to the ground. In my haste, I stepped on them and dropped them.
Shi Qingzhang frowned helplessly.
"How could this string of pearls break so suddenly? It was made at the beginning of this year, so it shouldn't have decayed, right? Someone bring the string of the string over to me and take a look at the pearls. Why didn't I see any scattered pearls when I came in?"
"Reporting to the Queen, at the end of the year, Auntie asked the servants to pick up the pearls. They are all here."
The palace maid was holding a plate of pearls with a broken string in it.
"Aunt Pujie, can you help me and Lady Shi look for those dull yellow pearls and why the string of pearls is broken?
"Yes, ma'am."
"Qing Zhang, did you string these pearls yourself?"
"I brought a few palace maids from Lanlin Palace with me."
"Is there any Suiwan among them?"
"The Queen?"
"I just met the imperial physician before I entered the palace. It's late this year. Can you tell me why the imperial physician came so late?
And that imperial physician broke his arm because of you.
Fortunately, I have a female doctor with me, and before coming to Lanlin Palace, I asked Xiaoji to invite the imperial physician, otherwise Qingzhang would not know when he would be able to see the imperial physician.
Why did the female doctor stationed at Lanlin Palace get a stomachache today, the day when Lady Shi fell, instead of earlier or later?
How can I believe this series of accidents?"
"Your Majesty, as soon as I couldn't find the female doctor, I asked the eunuch who had quick feet to call for the imperial physician.
I don’t know why so many accidents happened today. I feel innocent.
As for the imperial physician falling, it was because I was too worried about our beauty. As for the other doubts mentioned by your majesty, I believe them. Someone must be trying to frame our beauty. Please make a decision for our beauty, your majesty."
Sui Wan immediately knelt down and cried.
Shi Qingzhang looked at Sui Wan, who was crying, and said, "Your Majesty, Sui Wan and I grew up together, and we have a deep sisterly love. Even if there is a conflict, she would not want to harm the life of me or my child."
