Shen Zhenzhu had chest tightness and shortness of breath, so she asked Imperial Doctor Zhang to take her pulse. However, Lady Han, who held immense power, had already instructed Imperial Doctor Zhang that if he found Shen Zhenzhu was pregnant, he must not tell her, but report to her first. As expected, Imperial Doctor Zhang diagnosed Shen Zhenzhu with pregnancy, but he told Zhenzhu that she was merely weak and cold, and a few doses of medicine would cure her.
Afterwards, Imperial Doctor Zhang went to report to Lady Han, stating that Shen Rumao was already pregnant. Cui Caiping, upon hearing this, started yelling and making a scene. Lady Han gently comforted her, promising that she would not let Shen Zhenzhu give birth to this child. The next day, Lady Han and Cui Caiping were watching their servants fly kites in the courtyard. Zhenzhu passed by, and a servant deliberately tripped Zhenzhu.
Lady Han feigned kindness and sent for an imperial doctor for Zhenzhu. The imperial doctor said that Shen Zhenzhu had sprained her ankle and that he would prescribe some blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine, telling her to rest well. Shen Zhenzhu was bored lying in bed due to her foot injury, lamenting that she couldn't go to the chrysanthemum exhibition to see the chrysanthemums of Wuxing. Unexpectedly, Li Chu quietly walked into the room and applied medicine to Zhenzhu's foot.
Zhenzhu noticed the strength was off, turned around, and realized it was Li Chu. Li Chu had just heard what Zhenzhu said and carried her to see the chrysanthemums. Li Tan and Murong Linzhi, who were also enjoying the flowers at the chrysanthemum exhibition, saw Li Chu carrying Zhenzhu. Li Tan walked up to tease Li Chu. Afterwards, Murong Linzhi accompanied Zhenzhu alone. Zhenzhu mentioned her recent chest tightness and shortness of breath. Murong Linzhi habitually took Zhenzhu's pulse.
In a moment, Murong Linzhi's expression changed dramatically, and she hurriedly poured water onto a handkerchief to wipe the ointment off Zhenzhu's leg. Zhenzhu was puzzled. Murong Linzhi told her that she was already one month pregnant and this blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine absolutely could not be used, as it would cause her to miscarry. Only then did Zhenzhu realize the huge conspiracy hidden behind Lady Han's so-called concern.
Zhenzhu asked Murong Linzhi to keep her secret, not to tell anyone for the time being, including Li Chu, because she wanted to wait until the baby's condition was stable before telling Li Chu, not wanting him to be happy for nothing. Murong Linzhi understood Zhenzhu's thoughts and arranged for a Doctor Xue for her. Zhenzhu wanted to put on a show. She asked Hongrui to invite a doctor, deliberately making it known to everyone.
Lady Han was very nervous and sent Cui Caiping's maid. When the doctor entered the palace, the maid claimed Cui Caiping was unwell and forcibly snatched the doctor from Hongrui's hand. Lady Han instructed the doctor that if a pregnancy pulse was diagnosed, he should just say it was qi deficiency and cold in the body. Doctor Xue feigned cooperation. When he arrived at Zhenzhu's room, he told her the truth.
Zhenzhu now confirmed that Lady Han and Cui Caiping had malicious intentions. The Emperor also suspected An Lushan of having rebellious intentions, so he summoned An Lushan to the capital for an audience. An Lushan had already decided to raise an army to rebel. He falsely claimed to be unwell and asked Shi Siming to take An Qingxu to the capital. The Emperor learned that An Lushan was feigning illness and not coming to the capital.
He summoned the Crown Prince and Li Chu to discuss the matter. Li Chu said that he could take people to Fanyang, under the pretext of bringing back the fine horses An Lushan had selected for the Emperor, to investigate the situation. This statement greatly pleased the Emperor. The Emperor ordered Li Chu to set off immediately for Fanyang.
When Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu were reluctantly saying goodbye, Li Chuo rushed over, clamoring to go to Fanyang with her royal brother. She also told her royal brother that she liked An Qingxu. He Lingyi followed Li Chu's instructions and handed over all of Li Chu's properties, including secret ones, to Shen Zhenzhu for management. While reviewing the documents, Zhenzhu noticed that all the shops had a symbol.
That symbol was exactly the same as the one she found on the jade whistle at the scene after her Shen family was massacred. Moreover, An Lushan's informant had also told her that the symbol was related to many mysterious shops in the capital. Zhenzhu's face turned pale. She didn't want her conjecture to be proven true.
