Chapter 820: Execution Announced!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next day, before the morning court session, the original owner nervously prepared.
After entering the body, she also received some of her memories.
Thus, she could naturally understand the language of the Great Shang.
What stumped her was not the language, but the extremely complicated rules and politics of the imperial court.
She burned the midnight oil last night.
However, it was impossible to understand such a complicated thing in one night.
Today, she only hoped that she would not screw up.
When Ai Yan and Ai Meng came in with a bowl of water to wash their faces, she sat cross-legged on the bed with a memorial in her hand.
Her hair was a mess, and the dark circles under her eyes were so thick that it looked like her eyeliner was drawn upside down.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. “Imperial Physician MO is waiting outside.”
The original owner blinked.
Imperial Physician MO?
Before she left, the people from the Imperial Academy of Medicine would only come once every half a month, but from what they said, Imperial Physician MO seemed to be coming every day.
However, the original owner quickly figured it out. Perhaps it was because she had fainted before, so they paid more attention.
After putting on her court clothes, she let them in.
When he took her pulse, she was behind the gauze curtain. Her hand was placed on the brocade cotton pad. Her wrist was slender and fair, and it was covered with a thin embroidered handkerchief. The color was red.
Ai Yan and Ai Meng automatically avoided them and helped them close the door before they left.
Imperial Physician MO wiped the sweat from his forehead. This was the most stressful thing every day. He placed his hand on the original owner’s pulse while the original owner was reading the memorial with her other hand.
Just as she was engrossed in reading, the fingertips on her wrist suddenly paused. She raised her eyes and looked at Imperial Physician MO, whose expression had changed drastically across the gauze curtain.
Following that, the medicine box placed beside the table was also knocked to the ground by Imperial Physician Mo.
All kinds of bottles were scattered all over the ground.
Everyone panicked.
“Your Highness...”
The original owner had originally felt refreshed, but after hearing his trembling voice, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
For some reason, she thought of those absurd rumors from some time ago.
The palace maids with rotten mouths gossiped about the Consort Dowager...saying that was pregnant...
Ai Meng had never believed it.
However, after Imperial Physician MO came to pay his respects every day, Ai Meng gradually gained some insight.
Then, she thought about it carefully. Since ancient times, the imperial family had been heartless. After the death of the previous emperor, the most pitiful people were the concubines in the harem. As for the Consort Dowager, even if she was really pregnant...so what?
She did not tell her sister about this, and of course, she did not tell anyone else either. However, she felt that perhaps...it’s time to let the Consort Dowager know...
After all. if she was pregnant. there would he a lot of trouble in the flitnre-
When she was young, she had seen her mother give birth to a little brother. With someone who knew the inside story serving by her side, it would be much more convenient for the Consort Dowager.
After hesitating for a while, she sent Imperial Physician MO to the door. She carefully looked around and confirmed that no one was eavesdropping. She called Imperial Physician MO to the side and told him the truth. She asked him if the Consort Dowager was pregnant and even said that she was someone she could trust. She planned to spend her life with the Consort Dowager and told him to tell her without worry.
Imperial Physician MO stared at her in surprise.
One second...
Two seconds...
The third second!
He suddenly copied the perfect performance of the original owner and jumped back exaggeratedly. “Her Highness is the concubine of the late emperor. How can she be pregnant? This is a serious crime of beheading, don’t speak nonsense!”
Ai Meng was stunned. “Really?”
Imperial Physician MO told her not to say anything more. His words were resolute and decisive.
Seeing him like this, Ai Meng was sure he was telling the truth.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
What? So she was thinking too much!
Today was the original owner’s first morning court session. She had never eaten pork before, but she had seen pigs run. In the past, she had watched “Legend of Wu Tian” repeatedly in the background. The reason why that drama stood out was because it was accurate. Therefore, the original owner had seen a little of this world.
However, just as she sat down, she saw the imperial guards bring a large group of people up.
Among the people who were tied up, she saw her former palace maid, Wu Zhu’er.
The ministers whispered to each other strangely until Prince Huai came in with a group of people. The conversation stopped and the hall fell silent.
Ning Bian asked, “Prince Huai, this is...”
Prince Huai glanced at him expressionlessly, the cold light in his eyes causing Ning Bianyi to shudder.
In today’s morning court session, Prince Huai had to complete one last thing before he left for the border.
Announce the execution of the rebels Zhou Zicheng, the spy Wu Zhu’er, and all the remaining members!
