Chapter 286: Outsmarting Yourself, Huh?

When a beauty cried, no matter how sad she was, she still had a graceful bearing, let alone someone like Bu Tinghe who was almost as beautiful as Shen Ninghua.

Seeing that Bu Tinghe was crying so sadly and broken-hearted, the Third Prince endured for a long time. In the end, he could not tolerate and pulled her into his arms.

“Alright, you don’t have to blame yourself. You risked your life to give birth to our child. It’s understandable that you don’t have the strength now. Isn’t the child fine? You’ll have plenty of time to hold him in the future.”

Bu Tinghe slowly relaxed down. She tried her best to reach out and grab the clothes on the Third Prince’s chest. When she saw that there was no trace of injury on her arm, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Previously, Shen Ninghua had used silver needles to stab her entire body, almost turning her into a hedgehog. Now, why was there not even a single wound? Even if there were some bruises, she could still take the opportunity to find fault with Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua slowly turned the bracelet on her wrist and calmly looked at Bu Tinghe crying. When Bu Tinghe finally stopped crying and the Third Prince was about to carry her away to recuperate, she finally spoke.

“Third Prince, Princess Wenhe, at this time, shouldn’t we let the imperial doctors take the baby’s pulse?”

Baili Qingcang sighed slightly. His eyes were much deeper. If Bu Tinghe really loved her child as much as her cry suggested, how could she keep explaining for herself instead of looking for a doctor in the first place when she learned that the child was congenitally deficient?

Wait a minute, Baili Qingcang’s eyes suddenly changed, congenital deficiency? No one had mentioned this before. “Doctor Chen, come and take the baby’s pulse.”

Chen Yun quickly stepped out. The midwife carried the child forward and exposed the child’s hand to make it easier to feel his pulse.

“Your Majesty, the young master is indeed as Princess Zhaohua said. Because he has not been properly nursed in the womb, he has congenital deficiency and his body is weak. In the future, he will be able to recover after being taken good care of, but he must avoid sharp and quick fluctuations in his mood. Otherwise, it will be easy to hurt his body.”

Baili Qingcang’s face was gloomy. He glanced at the silent Bu Tinghe and the Third Prince and asked coldly, “Who is the one that usually takes Princess Wenhe’s pulse?”

When he said this, everyone present understood. Previously, Princess Wenhe had said that her pulse was extremely good. Now, the baby had a congenital deficiency. Either the imperial doctor who checked her pulse lied or Princess Wenhe told a lie herself.

Bu Tinghe trembled all over. She only felt that the pain in her body was getting worse. The part of her body touched by the Third Prince was like being stabbed by a needle, and more and more cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Baili Qingcang did not relent. After he sent someone to bring the imperial doctor responsible for checking Bu Tinghe’s pulse, he continued to ask, “Also, Princess Wenhe said that Shen Ninghua wanted to harm her and added poison to the medicine she drank. Where is the medicine bowl?”

A midwife hurriedly ran into the room and took out the medicine bowl. “Your Majesty, the medicine bowl is here.”

The medicine bowl was intact, and there was still some unfinished medicine at the bottom of the bowl.

“Alright, Doctor Chen, go check if there’s anything wrong with the medicine.”

Chen Yun took the medicine bowl and sniffed it carefully. Then, he dipped his finger into the medicine residue and put it in his mouth to distinguish it. Finally, he frowned slightly.

Bu Tinghe was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She stared at Chen Yun intently, hoping that he would say there was poison in the medicine.

It was a pity that after a while, the expression on Chen Yun’s face relaxed.

“Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this medicine. Moreover, according to my analysis, there seems to be something that is extremely beneficial to the human body. It is very similar to the prescription in the medical book that Princess Zhaohua presented before. I think Princess Zhaohua must have put the medicine she developed in it.”

“Oh?” Baili Qingcang looked at Shen Ninghua.

Shen Ninghua took two steps forward and said.

“Please forgive me, Father Emperor. At that time, the situation was urgent, and Princess Wenhe’s condition was extremely dangerous. If I didn’t use some good medicine, I’m afraid it would be difficult to ensure the safety of the mother and son. After giving birth, I always bring some medicine with me to nurse my body. In a moment of desperation, I added some of it to Princess Wenhe’s medicine. I am guilty of secretly bringing medicine into the Palace. Please forgive me.”

Baili Qingcang waved his hand. “I know that you usually take medicine to nourish your body. Didn’t you also offer a lot to me? Now that my body is healthy, you have contributed greatly. What is there for you to be guilty of? You didn’t bring poison into the Palace. It’s just that the human heart is vicious, even more so than poison.”

Baili Qingcang’s cold gaze made Bu Tinghe even more nervous. The constant pain from her body made her feel like an ant on a hot pan, anxious to destroy everything in front of her.

Not long after, the guard who went to fetch Bu Tinghe’s doctor returned and reported, “Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Hu committed suicide by hanging himself at home. He only left behind a letter of repentance. Your Majesty, please read it.”

Bu Tinghe raised her eyelids. After hearing that the doctor was dead, she slowly calmed down. It was good that he was dead, so that there was no evidence!

Baili Qingcang looked at the letter and the expression in his eyes kept changing. After a while, he crumpled the letter into a ball. “So it turned out that Imperial Doctor Hu has been lying about the pulse case.”

Bu Tinghe heaved a sigh of relief. At least Imperial Doctor Hu was sensible!

Prince An’s face was already as black as charcoal. He never had thought that such a simple delivery process could cause so much trouble. However, the most important thing right now was to take his daughter out of the trouble. Now that she had a son and the baby’s body was weak, it was easier to control him. No matter what, he had to let her marry the Third Prince smoothly!

“Your Majesty, Tinghe has never suffered much since she was a kid. It is inevitable for her to be in a trance under the pain of her first delivery. It is understandable. Please punish her leniently, Your Majesty.”

Shen Ninghua looked at Prince An. As expected of an old fox. He knew that the more he explained at this time, the more mistakes he made. In any case, the royal bloodline had already been born. It was impossible for the Emperor to punish a woman who was in her confinement period. Therefore, it was better to let the Emperor punish her as he liked.

Baili Qingcang also understood Prince An’s plan. He twisted his fingers slightly and said after a while.

“Alright, Third Prince, send Princess Wenhe back to rest. Take this child back to your mansion. Later, I will ask the Internal Affairs Department to send some nurses and palace maids to take care of him. Prince An has traveled a long distance. Go to the embassy to rest first. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it in two days.”

After he finished speaking, he left directly. However, he did not throw away the letter written by Imperial Doctor Hu in his hand. Only when he returned to the study did he get someone to open the letter and put it away carefully.

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi looked at each other and silently held each other’s hands as they watched the Third Prince leave with Bu Tinghe in his arms.

After returning home, Baili Junyi ordered people to prepare hot water. Shen Ninghua bathed and changed her clothes, and she finally felt relaxed. She had been too nervous and it took a lot of effort to perform the acupuncture on Bu Tinghe. Now that she finally relaxed, she didn’t want to move at all.

Baili Junyi changed his clothes and came out. He saw Shen Ninghua, who was only wearing underwear and leaning lazily against the soft couch.

The soft couch was covered with cushions made of white fox fur. Shen Ninghua, who had just finished bathing, had a natural blush on her face. She lay softly in the white fur, looking charming and tempting.

If he ran his fingers through her hair, would she scratch him in the face?

A doting smile crept onto his face. Baili Junyi walked over quietly and reached out to tidy up her scattered hair. The soft hair was wet from bathing, and he couldn’t help but stroke it with his fingertips.

Shen Ninghua’s eyelashes trembled and she opened her beautiful eyes. She looked at Baili Junyi and smiled. “How about the two babies?”

“I just went to take a look. They are all in the inner room sleeping soundly.”

Shen Ninghua nodded and saw Baili Junyi sitting next to her. She got up and leaned her head on his shoulder.

It was rare for her to act like this. Baili Junyi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. “What’s up, Ninghua?”

“That child almost died today.”

Baili Junyi naturally knew that she was talking about Bu Tinghe’s child and guessed that the child aroused her maternity. “Did it look pitiful?”

“…Yes.” Shen Ninghua replied in a low voice, “It turned out that after becoming a mother, my heart has softened a lot. When I see other people’s children, I always think of mine. If Bu Tinghe succeeded in framing me, then our children might be even weaker than hers.” It was even possible that…they would die young… ”

Baili Junyi reached out and pulled her into his arms. “That child is innocent. We won’t hurt him, but Bu Tinghe has to pay the price.” Bu Tinghe had set Ninghua up again and again. Now with the Third Prince and the child as her support, she would definitely go farther. She absolutely could not be underestimated.

Shen Ninghua laughed. “After she goes back, there will be enough for her to suffer.”

“Huh? Did you do something?”

Shen Ninghua shook her head. “Not exactly. In order to let her give birth safely, I used silver needles to guide her blood. I also fed her medicine to stimulate her bodily functions, which made the effect of acupuncture several times stronger. Otherwise, how could she have the strength to get out of bed and sue me after having a difficult delivery?”

Baili Junyi chuckled. “What’s the consequence of this?”

“The consequence is that for the next half month, she will feel pain all over her body. Even a slight touch will make her feel unbearable pain. There will be no other side effects. It is just that her confinement period is going to be tough.”

It was easy to endure the pain for a while, but the continuous pain with untraceable cause would drive a person crazy. If Bu Tinghe had a strong mind, she could endure it. But if she could not endure it, there would be a good show to watch in the next month.

Baili Junyi reached out and scraped the tip of her nose. His tone was full of affection. “My wife is really amazing. Could the imperial doctors find any clue?”

Shen Ninghua pondered for a while and said, “Doctor Chen should be able to tell.”

Baili Junyi chuckled. “Then it’s all right. Didn’t you ask Bai Ruo to brew wine? Uncle Chen loves good wine the most. I will personally send two jars over. I guarantee that he only wants to drink and doesn’t want to say anything.”

Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but smile. “Well, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

“How do you plan to thank me?” Baili Junyi approached her ear and his warm breath blew on her neck, making Shen Ninghua blush.

“Ah.”

Shen Ninghua was caught off guard and was directly picked up by Baili Junyi.

“Honey, let’s discuss in detail how you should express your thanks to me.”
