In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1097 - 1091: Protective Amulet!

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1091: Protective Amulet!

"According to the people who investigated, that little eunuch left the palace exactly when Lord Liu and Mrs. Qin were standing in front of the palace gate talking."

Jiu Lan hastily added.

What a coincidence!

Su Pan’er slapped the table with a bang!

Liu Yankang, huh?

Unexpectedly, she had fallen into his hands time and again; did he really think she didn’t dare lay a hand on him? How infuriating!

She paced back and forth in the Warm Pavilion, unable to calm the raging fury in her heart.

On the other hand, Little Yanyan was holding a small wooden horse, amusing Little Sugar Bean and helping her practice walking. Little Yanyan, holding the wooden horse, kept stepping back, laughing heartily, while Little Sugar Bean growled incessantly, stumbling forward, clutching the edge of the chaise lounge. The sisters’ laughter somehow strangely diminished the anger in Su Pan’er’s heart, bringing clarity to her thoughts.

Liu Yankang kills a bird and drops it on Little Yanyan’s bed... it doesn’t look like his modus operandi at all.

But if it wasn’t Liu Yankang who orchestrated it, then there’s only one most likely culprit!

"Liu Xuan’er, you did find yourself a protective amulet! Otherwise..."

A flash of killing intent crossed Su Pan’er’s eyes, then quickly subsided.

No hurry; she had all the time in the world, let’s see who has the last laugh.

As soon as the news that Liu Jieyu of the Imperial Harem’s Palace was pregnant spread, it immediately caused a huge stir at Court.

The ministers congratulated His Majesty one after another, the whole nation was in high spirits, and they pinned great hopes on the child in Liu Jieyu’s belly. Memorials from Speech Officials requesting a new selection of consorts flew into the Imperial Study like pieces of paper.

On the other side, those feudal lords couldn’t keep their calm anymore.

With their plans thwarted, how could they be happy?

Everyone panicked, hastily sending out people to investigate both openly and covertly.

However, they heard that His Majesty was very fond of Liu Jieyu, frequently visiting her room, and had even assigned heavy guard to protect her, not allowing anyone to visit.

As days passed by, whether it was the common folk or the Court, everyone pinned their hopes on the child in Liu Jieyu’s belly, staring at her growing belly with wide eyes, eager for the birth of His Majesty’s first prince.

But amid the joy, a different undercurrent was stirring at Court.

Recently, Qin Yi had been finishing the morning court sessions earlier than usual, but there were some who had ulterior motives and did not retreat. Turns out, it was Prince Qi and two feudal lords, who brought two Eminent Doctors into the palace to request an audience with His Majesty.

"Some days ago, I heard that the Emperor was not feeling well, and then shortly after, Liu Jieyu was reported to be pregnant. I had heard early on that the Empress underwent nine deaths and one life while carrying the two princesses and just managed to give birth safely. To prevent the same situation from happening again, I specifically found two doctors who are experts in gynecology to check Liu Jieyu’s pulse, so that I too can contribute to the safe birth of the Imperial Family’s next generation."

Prince Qi’s words carried an underlying message and his posture was especially forceful.

Several senior ministers on the side were incessantly clamoring, all acting like they were performing their duty loyally for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty, turning Qin Yi’s face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"Prince Qi’s kind intentions are well noted by Us. However, there are plenty of Eminent Doctors within the Imperial Medical Bureau, and Imperial Physician Wang and others are taking Liu Jieyu’s pulse for peace every day; there will certainly be no issues. We appreciate Prince Qi’s sentiments, but these doctors are not needed."

"Ah, the Emperor speaks well. However, although Imperial Physician Wang is the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau and proficient in common ailments like headaches and fevers, his expertise in gynecology is only mediocre. The two Eminent Doctors that I have brought are among the top under my jurisdiction; every woman they have treated has safely given birth in the end. Why doesn’t the Emperor let the two Eminent Doctors take a look at Liu Jieyu’s pulse—it’s better than worrying day and night about the dragon spawn having issues, isn’t it?"

Despite Qin Yi’s adamant refusal, Prince Qi still pushed forward with his eloquent persuasion, the two feudal lords at his side ceaselessly smoothing things over, all displaying a resolve that they would not rest until they achieved their goal.

Qin Yi saw the writing on the wall, and his heart gradually sank. Judging by Prince Qi’s stance, even if he were to refuse him today, he would just make trouble on another day. With that in mind... perhaps it was better to...

Having made up his mind, Qin Yi feigned a few more objections before allowing Prince Qi and the two so-called eminent doctors to go to Shuiyan Park.

The sudden change in the court had already been reported to Su Pan’er by a shrewd eunuch.

Before Prince Qi and the two eminent doctors could arrive at Shuiyan Park, Su Pan’er was already there. The two parties encountered each other near a waterside pavilion along the way, both stopping in their tracks and glaring at each other without speaking.

After a long while, Prince Qi let out a hearty laugh and led the two feudal lords forward to greet Su Pan’er with a fist and palm salute.

"It turns out to be the Empress, it’s indeed rare to come across the Empress here. Seeing your radiant complexion, you must be in good health, right?"

"I cannot compare to you, Prince Qi, in terms of health."

Su Pan’er suddenly smiled, "Look at the snow-covered weather, so cold, and yet Prince Qi is still so concerned about the nation, the people, and His Majesty’s progeny, braving the heavy snow to enter the palace to visit Liu Jieyu. Truly extraordinary indeed!"

Prince Qi smiled amiably, not at all embarrassed by the underlying meaning in her words.

"Well said, well said!"

Instead, he casually gestured with a hand lift, "As the Emperor’s brother, it is only right for me to care for His Majesty’s progeny, to prevent opportunists from exploiting the situation. These two eminent doctors have been brought here at great expense by me, especially to check Liu Jieyu’s ’peaceful pulse’. I trust the Empress wouldn’t obstruct this, correct?"

At this point, there was no need for further words.

Su Pan’er replied with a smile.

"Prince Qi’s concern for the country and the people, both His Majesty and I fully appreciate. Liu Jieyu is currently resting in Shuiyan Park, the two eminent doctors may proceed with their duties."

"We will respectfully comply with the decree."

The two eminent doctors hurried towards Shuiyan Park upon receiving the command.

Su Pan’er looked up at the sky, estimating that the time should be about right. Unwilling to engage further with Prince Qi, she let out a cold laugh, turned, and returned to the Warm Pavilion, leaving Prince Qi standing by the waterside pavilion.

Once the Empress had left, Prince Qi’s expression immediately darkened, his mouth muttering curses under his breath. This prompted the other two feudal lords behind him to assume the guise of bystanders, ordering the two eminent doctors to hurry to Shuiyan Park.

Inside Shuiyan Park.

Liu Jieyu’s complexion was a sickly yellow, and she looked unwell as she lay on the bed with her eyes tightly shut.

The two eminent doctors were arranged to sit behind a screen, separated by a curtain, a red thread extended out from under the bed curtains, reaching the hands of the two eminent doctors.

Came with a heavy burden, naturally these two doctors possessed some skills. Prince Qi and the two feudal lords waited in the hall, sipping fragrant tea, quietly anticipating good news.

They had already discovered that Liu Jieyu’s pregnancy was suspicious.

Incessant palace rumors claimed that His Majesty had not favored Liu Jieyu, yet news of her pregnancy had spread, how could they not be suspicious?

This time, they risked falling out with His Majesty, forcibly bringing in doctors to the palace, all to verify the truth behind these rumors.

In their hearts, the true answer was something they felt they already knew.
