Chapter 213 The Queen's Pregnancy Cannot Be Preserved
A few days later, Lu Chenshuang was seeing patients at Baicaotang when a group of people came hurriedly from the palace.
When Lu Chenshuang saw that the person leading the group was the queen's nanny, she knew what had happened.
But there was nothing she could do.
Lu Chenshuang had heard some news about the palace in the past few days.
The emperor first stripped the empress of her power over the six palaces in the name of her pregnancy.
Afterwards, many people submitted memorials to impeach the Zhou family. At first, the emperor suppressed it, but more and more people submitted memorials to impeach the Zhou family.
In the end, it was found that the Zhou family was guilty of corruption, bribery, selling official positions, disregarding human life, and lawlessness.
Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, he had no reason to do so.
In the end, the Zhou family had no choice but to be thrown into prison, but considering that they were the queen's family, they were not killed. Instead, they were exiled to a bitter and cold place thousands of miles away.
The emperor had originally wanted to hide this matter from the empress, but how could he keep such a big thing secret?
Mu Hansu told Lu Chenshuang to go to the palace less often during this period, especially not to go to the Queen's place.
Lu Chenshuang looked at the person who came and sighed. It turned out that Mu Hansu’s bad words came true.
But she is the Empress of the Central Palace, how can she not go?
Lu Chenshuang looked at the guards around the maid, all of them were experts. The queen really thought highly of her.
In order not to implicate Baicaotang and Yang Chengzu, Lu Chenshuang had no choice but to stand up and follow them.
The nanny also said to Lu Chenshuang: "Don't worry, Doctor Lu, as long as you can save the baby in our queen's belly, our queen will thank you."
Lu Chenshuang glanced at her calmly and said, "What if I can't be saved? What will the Queen do? Will you kill me?"
The nanny also knew that the situation they were in today was more like hostage-taking than inviting.
In fact, she also did not agree with the Queen's doing this, but the Queen said that if she didn't do this, Lu Chenshuang would never enter the palace.
If there is anyone in this world who can protect the queen's child, it can only be Lu Chenshuang. The queen asked them to use any means to invite Lu Chenshuang, even if it means kidnapping.
Lu Chenshuang followed them into the palace.
Xiaoman had come to Baicaotang as well today, but she was craving for roast duck so she went to buy some.
When he came back, he saw Lu Chenshuang walking away with a woman dressed like a palace maid, followed by several ferocious-looking guards.
Xiaoman wanted to call Lu Chenshuang, but Lu Chenshuang gave her a look that told her not to say anything.
Xiaoman could only bear it and watch them heading towards the imperial palace.
So he quickly ran towards home, even throwing away the roast duck in his hand.
They couldn't enter the palace, even if the girl had secret guards around her.
They can't get in but King Zhan can. As long as the prince is with them, the girl will be fine.
Xiaoman ran all the way back to the house where they lived, but she did not enter her own yard. Instead, she knocked on the door next door frantically.
The servant who opened the door was also shocked to see Xiaoman sweating profusely.
Although they rarely went to the next door, their presence was to protect Lu Chenshuang, so how could they not know the maids around Lu Chenshuang.
Xiaoman didn't bother to talk to them too much, and asked directly: "Is your master here?"
The servant shook his head and said that they had not seen their master since they started living here.
Xiaoman became even more anxious after hearing this. What should they do when King Zhan is not around?
At this moment, Mu Qing walked out. When he saw Xiaoman sweating profusely, his heart skipped a beat.
He quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Xiaoman was almost crying, and choked up as she said, "Our girl was taken away by someone from the palace."
After saying that, he recounted what had just happened.
Mu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. Since he was going into the palace, nothing serious should happen.
But he still didn't dare to be careless. Lu Chenshuang was the apple of their prince's eye. If anything unexpected happened to her, their prince would go crazy.
Mu Qing quickly said, "Come on, I'll take you to find the prince."
Lu Chenshuang followed them directly to the queen's palace.
As soon as she entered, she heard bursts of muffled noises and the constant comforting voices of the palace maids.
The queen endured the pain and asked, "Why hasn't Lu Chenshuang come yet?
My stomach hurts so badly! If you don’t come, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep the baby.”
The maid saw the queen sweating profusely and said quickly, "Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, let's call the imperial physician."
Before the maid could finish her words, the queen interrupted her sharply, "You can't call in the imperial physician!"
In order to allow her to take good care of her pregnancy, the emperor has stripped her of her power over the six palaces and handed it over to that bitch Qu Fengyang.
If the emperor knew that she had lost her child, he would definitely dislike her.
The Zhou family is gone, and if the emperor also dislikes her, then she will have nothing.
Just when the queen was anxious, the palace maid reported back that Lu Chenshuang had arrived.
The queen immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and quickly let Lu Chenshuang in.
Lu Chenshuang looked at the queen lying on the bed, sweating profusely, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
The Queen was already in such a state, yet she didn't summon the imperial physician, but instead went to great lengths to find her from outside the palace. I'm afraid her purpose is not simple.
But Lu Chenshuang did not show it on her face and bowed respectfully to the queen.
The maidservant beside the queen said, "Divine Doctor Lu, our queen is in severe abdominal pain. Please take a look at her."
Lu Chenshuang did not refute. It was her duty to cure illnesses and save lives. Since the Queen had her brought here by force, she had no choice but to see the doctor.
Lu Chenshuang's hand was on the queen's pulse and her expression suddenly changed.
Then she withdrew her hand and said, "My Queen, there is nothing I can do."
When the queen heard this, her face turned even paler and there was a hint of despair in her eyes.
The maid beside her said, "Divine Doctor Lu, aren't you a divine doctor? Don't you have any solution?"
How do you know that the baby in our mother's belly is hopeless just by taking her pulse?"
The queen also came back to her senses and said while suppressing her grief, "Miss Lu, I know you have extraordinary medical skills.
As long as you are willing to save my child, you can get any reward you want.
Even if you want to enter the palace as a concubine, I will grant your wish."
Lu Chenshuang: . . . . .
The Queen must be crazy to say such words.
Does she think she wants to enter the palace? She has no interest in so many women fighting for one man.
Seeing the Queen's expression, Lu Chenshuang couldn't help but explain, "My Queen, I really have no interest in entering the palace to be a concubine.
And I said last time that the Queen's pregnancy is extremely unstable. If she is not taken good care of, she will not be able to reach full term.
But the Queen didn’t take my words to heart at all.”
Judging from the Queen's pulse, she had been in a lot of trouble recently. The Queen must have known that the baby in her belly could not be saved. Then why did she come to see me today?
Lu Chenshuang had some guesses in her mind, but she wasn't quite sure.
If that's the case and the queen is really a person who repays kindness with enmity, then don't blame her for taking advantage of her misfortune.
