Chapter 448: Stop interfering with other people's karma

Tao Yanyan's morning sickness symptoms are not very obvious. Recently, she just feels a little nauseous when she wakes up in the morning or before going to bed. Otherwise, she is normal.

But after holding the third prince today, she always felt something was wrong, so she summoned the imperial physician in the evening.

After taking the patient's pulse carefully, Doctor Liu frowned and said, "Madam, your pulse is a little disordered today, but it's okay. Just walk around and relax. By the way, the windows should be open, and use some mosquito repellent incense to prevent mosquito bites."

Mingyue went downstairs to prepare as soon as she heard it and lit the mosquito repellent incense in the house. The faint fragrance made Tao Yanyan feel a little uncomfortable.

"Why don't you move the incense farther away? I can't stand the smell." At this point, Tao Yanyan remembered that she felt a little uncomfortable after holding the third prince, so she asked, "Doctor Liu, my nose is particularly sensitive today. When I smelled the fragrance of the third prince, it felt particularly strong, and then I felt a little nauseous."

Doctor Liu pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you changed your clothes today? I can identify the scent."

Tao Yanyan did change her clothes. Firstly, it was hot, so she changed her clothes twice a day. Secondly, it might be a psychological effect. She always felt that there was fragrance on her clothes, so she changed her clothes after Concubine Shu left.

Mingyue hurried to get the clothes that Concubine Tao wore during the day. Fortunately, Xianglan hadn't washed them today, otherwise they would have been soaked by now.

Doctor Liu fanned the air with his hands, then sniffed carefully at the cuffs of his sleeves. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, "Why is there musk on Madam's clothes?"

Mingyue was shocked when she heard this: "That's impossible. We don't have musk in Changle Palace. Besides, Her Majesty's clothes are usually scented with flowers, not other spices."

Tao Yanyan frowned: "Musk is harmful to pregnant women, right?" Although the TV dramas he had watched before said that musk can cause infertility, Tao Yanyan had never experienced it after all, so he didn't understand it at all.

Doctor Liu said, "Only heavy contact can lead to infertility or miscarriage. If it's just occasional contact, it's fine. But your Majesty is a noble woman, and you're pregnant, so you'd better try to avoid contact. Otherwise, the incense may aggravate pregnancy reactions and make you uncomfortable."

Tao Yanyan nodded. Since it had no effect on the fetus, she felt relieved.

After sending Doctor Liu out, Qingfeng and Mingyue both knelt in front of Tao Yanyan. Qingfeng said, "Your Majesty, today the Concubine Shu brought the Third Prince here. To be disrespectful, I'm afraid that Concubine Shu deliberately put this incense on the Third Prince to harm you."

Qingfeng never kept anything to himself, so he just spoke out his guess.

Mingyue looked at Tao Yanyan and said, "I failed to notice this. I should have rejected Concubine Shu today on the grounds that Your Majesty was not feeling well, so that she would not harm you."

Tao Yanyan asked the two to stand up and stop kneeling. "Didn't Imperial Doctor Liu say that it's okay to have a small amount of contact occasionally? Just stay away from her in the future. Besides, she used this kind of incense on the Third Prince, maybe she herself didn't even know it was harmful. We shouldn't think badly of her. After all, she gave birth to that child with all her strength."

Qingfeng and Mingyue had no choice but to stand up, but they were still upset about what happened today.

"Don't tell this matter to anyone, so as not to embarrass His Majesty, okay?" Tao Yanyan decided to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Firstly, she did not suffer any substantial harm; secondly, this incident allowed her to see the true face of Concubine Shu, and it was a good thing to expose it earlier; thirdly, she was pregnant now, and she was mentally exhausted and had no energy to fight, so she might as well save her energy and wait until she gave birth to the baby safely.

As for Concubine Shu, she was a little flustered when she heard that the imperial physician had been summoned to Changle Palace. Later, she heard that the imperial physician left soon after and that nothing happened in Changle Palace, so she felt relieved again.

"Your Majesty, it seems that nothing has been found over there. Should we bring the Third Prince over there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

As soon as Fu Xin finished speaking, the Third Prince's nurse came hurriedly to report: "My Queen, the Third Prince is vomiting milk and his face is not looking good again!"

Concubine Shu was extremely nervous and said, "Quickly call the imperial physician!" As she spoke, she ran towards the Third Prince's bedroom.

When He Linzhang and Tao Yanyan were sleeping in the middle of the night, Eunuch Zhang came in in a panic and whispered: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

He Linzhang stood up slightly and asked unhappily, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, something has happened in Yongning Palace! The Third Prince is vomiting non-stop, and the imperial physician is helpless. The Concubine Shu is extremely worried, and has sent someone to ask for you!"

He Linzhang stood up gently and put on his clothes quickly: "How could this happen? Let's go and have a look!"

I took my clothes and went outside to put them on so as not to wake up Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan opened her eyes only after he left. In fact, she had already woken up just now.

If it were in the past, she would definitely get up and go to take a look, but today she refused to get up. Thinking of the musk during the day, she sighed. The Third Prince was already weak, and maybe he was intoxicated by the smell of musk this time, which made him sick.

But although he was able to save him once, he couldn't stop his biological mother from committing suicide. This time, Tao Yanyan decided not to interfere in the cause and effect of others and chose to keep himself out of it.

The next day, Tao Yanyan slept until he woke up naturally, and when he woke up he found that Mingyue's face looked a little strange.

"What's wrong? Nothing happened last night, right?" Chang Tai had been keeping an eye on the situation in each palace. If anything happened, he would report it to her early in the morning.

Mingyue combed her hair and then said, "His Majesty sent Eunuch Zhang to pass on a message this morning, saying that people from our Changle Palace should not contact the Third Prince in the future."

After Mingyue finished speaking, she looked at Tao Yanyan's expression and continued, "I saw that Eunuch Zhang looked amiss, so I asked him privately. I learned that after His Majesty passed away late last night, Concubine Shu made false accusations in front of His Majesty, saying that the Third Prince was fine before and became ill after coming to Changle Palace once. She also said..." Mingyue did not dare to continue.

Tao Yanyan inserted a hairpin into herself: "You also said that I hugged the Third Prince, so the Third Prince is not good, right?"

Mingyue nodded helplessly: "Eunuch Zhang is familiar with our Changle Palace, and he relayed everything that Concubine Shu said to me. My lady, will His Majesty misunderstand you?"

Mingyue is now very worried that her queen will fall out of favor because of this incident. The queen is pregnant, and if she falls out of favor, she will definitely feel bad.

Tao Yanyan smiled and said, "I think he should know who I am. If a few provocative words from others can make him doubt me and misunderstand me, then I don't want such love."

Mingyue felt that her own queen was now like an indestructible piece of stone, and had become a little colder and harder.

For several days, He Linzhang did not come to Changle Palace. Instead, he went to Yongning Palace every day, but he did not stay overnight in Yongning Palace.

The injury on Tao Yanyan's arm was getting better day by day. After seven or eight days, the wound had healed. Doctor Liu gave her some scar removal cream. As long as she continued to use it for a while, the scar would be completely healed and would return to its former smoothness.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is fine now. But His Majesty has been suffering from a fever and cold these days and has been drinking medicine for three days." said Imperial Physician Liu.

When Tao Yanyan heard this, he thought that he hadn't seen her for many days, so he wondered if she was sick.

Doctor Liu smiled, looked at Concubine Tao's unhappy expression and continued, "Yesterday, I went to check on your Majesty's pulse. Your Majesty also asked about your injury, saying that he would come back to see you in a few days, when your illness has completely improved, to prevent you from getting sick."

Tao Yanyan pouted and muttered, "Who wants him to see? It's better if he doesn't come!" Although he spoke with disdain, the sadness on his face gradually faded.
