Chapter 393 Let Her Go Home
After all, the child in Concubine Shun's belly is the only child the emperor has had in all these years. Even though the child has not been born yet and they don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl, the emperor and the empress dowager are already full of love for the child.

As a result, they also have more affection for the child's mother.

After hearing what Concubine Shun said, they felt upset, but their original determination not to let Niu Niu leave the palace also softened a little.

However, old Doctor Yan was knowledgeable and had a strange look on his face.

The Queen Mother was now desperate and was trying all kinds of treatments. She noticed his slight change in expression and immediately asked, "Old Doctor Yan, if you have anything to say, just tell us directly. You have to give us a solution."

Doctor Yan sighed and said, "When praying for children, you really can't just send the child home. The children usually sent here are from poor families who have too many children to raise. They send them to other people's homes under the pretext of having a meal. If you send them back immediately after they get pregnant, it will be seen as a betrayal, and people will think you are abandoning the child."

"But Niu Niu's situation is a little different. Although Niu Niu is not the adopted daughter of Concubine Shun, she did help Concubine Shun to give birth to a child. This is because Niu Niu is blessed."

"I have also heard from my apprentice about Niu Niu's life in the Gu family. Children may exaggerate, but it can be seen that Niu Niu is probably a child born with blessings. I have also seen such people elsewhere. They are blessed by heaven, and everything they do will go smoothly. If you go against her, it will not be a good thing."

Old Doctor Yan talked about the various strange rumors he had seen among the people over the years since he retired from the Imperial Medical Bureau, which left the Empress Dowager and the Emperor stunned.

Concubine Shun really hoped that Niu Niu could get what she wanted. After all, the child in her belly was brought forth by Niu Niu. Even if she failed to keep the child, she would be very happy as long as she could help Niu Niu.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Niuniu is determined to leave the palace. Going against her and trying to stop her will be a bad thing." Concubine Shun advised.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor looked at Concubine Shun's belly, their gazes frozen for a long time.

On one side was the unconscious Niu Niu, and on the other side was Concubine Shun, who was holding her belly and was about to have a miscarriage.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor sighed heavily and said, "Mother, we are unlucky after all, and you have always loved Niuniu, so let her have her wish."

The Empress Dowager's tears suddenly fell. She looked at Concubine Shun's belly, then turned her head to look at Niu Niu, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, not knowing whether she was alive or dead.

"Forget it, it's all for nothing. Since you all want Guaibao to leave the palace, there must be someone in this room who wants to get his wish."

The Queen Mother walked to Niuniu's bedside, held the little girl's hand, and said, "My dear, please wake up soon. As long as you wake up, I and your uncle the Emperor will agree to let you leave the palace to accompany your family through this difficult time."

As soon as the empress dowager finished speaking, the little girl on the bed let out a moan, and then her curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the little girl opened her eyes.

"Wake up, wake up!" Nanny Sun said excitedly.

Doctor Yan came forward and took Niu Niu's pulse.

"It's really strange. As soon as the child woke up, his pulse became normal. It's really hard to explain things in this world." Doctor Yan sighed.

The other imperial doctors in Shoukang Palace also gathered around at this time.

"If the girl's pulse had not changed so drastically before and after, I would have almost suspected that she was pretending to be sick." An old doctor said, pinching his beard.

The other doctors nodded vigorously. "Strange! It's really too strange!"

Hearing such sighs, Concubine Shun suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I... my stomach... doesn't seem to hurt anymore..."

When Concubine Shun said this, her face was full of hesitation, and she herself felt it was really strange.

When the Queen Mother and the Emperor heard this, they were immediately surprised: "Really? It really doesn't hurt anymore? Come on, come on, show her!"

The child in Concubine Shun's belly is now the top priority of the entire palace. A group of doctors surrounded her and took her pulse repeatedly, with surprise never stopping on everyone's faces.

An imperial physician who had also examined her pulse last night said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, Concubine Shun's pulse is now the same as it was last night. The fetus is stable and everything is fine."

When the Empress Dowager and the Emperor heard this, they all showed joy on their faces.

The Queen Mother clasped her hands together and said, "That's great! May our ancestors bless us! My beloved grandson is finally safe and sound!"

The emperor's eyes fell on Niuniu, and he said to the empress dowager, "Mother, once Niuniu wakes up, Concubine Shun's stomach will be fine."

The Queen Mother nodded vigorously as if she was suddenly awakened, and said, "Emperor, what Doctor Yan said is right. Niuniu is very lucky. Only when she is successful can she have the strength to bless my good grandson."

Just at this time, Li Fushun came back.

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, I dug three feet deep under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard of Yong'an Palace where Concubine Liu lives, and found some things that are not in line with the rules." Li Shunfu said.

The young eunuch following behind him was holding a tray in his hand, the contents of which were now covered with a cloth.

The chief judge of the Imperial Hospital suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, we would like to go to the side hall to discuss how to prepare a prescription for Concubine Shun and Miss Gu."

The Queen Mother also understood what these people meant. Prescribing medicine was fake, but they really wanted to avoid these things. She waved her hand, and someone immediately took them to the side hall.

Li Shunfu waited until all the bystanders left before he lifted the cloth, revealing the horrifying scene inside.

The Queen Mother saw a small rag doll wrapped in white cloth with a piece of red paper with the date of birth of the doll pasted on it. There were five or six needles densely stuck on the red paper near the abdomen of the doll.

This thing is simply a very standard witchcraft technique.

"Concubine Liu! She actually cursed my beloved grandson behind his back. Emperor, you must not let her go just because she is Concubine Li's woman!" said the Queen Mother.

When Concubine Shun heard this, she looked at the Queen Mother in surprise. The Queen Mother deliberately emphasized that Concubine Liu was Zhaoyi's person, which seemed too obvious.

The emperor frowned slightly and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will get to the bottom of this matter."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, you still have to investigate whether Concubine Liu wanted to do this herself or someone behind the scenes instructed her to do it. This person has a vicious mind and simply wants you to have no descendants. We don't know if the person behind her is colluding with the previous dynasty to support a prince from the royal family."
