Chapter 771: Could It Be True?
ice trembling: "The laws of all countries explicitly prohibit the cultivation of opium poppy. The Wen family actually planted so many opium poppies, what are they trying to do"You see, this thing is p...Xiao Yu Ge was brought to the side hall. Qian Ting Xuan, worried, wanted to follow, but unexpectedly, An Gonggong stopped him: "Your Highness, please wait in the main hall first."
Xiao Yuge obeyed Dr. Li's words and lay down on the bed, appearing calm and collected. In reality, she was panicking inside. After all, there was nothing in her stomach. The doctor felt her pulse and knew everything. She seemed to have already seen her fate.
After Xiao Yuge lay down, Li Taiyi skillfully draped the silk scarf over her wrist and then seriously felt her pulse. Xiao Yuge watched his serious expression and couldn't help but think to herself.
Not until he had put everything away did she get up, nervously following him into the Yuxin Hall. Qian Tingxuan also hurried over to support her, as if he were truly afraid she might bump into something.
"Imperial Physician Li, what are the results" The Emperor narrowed his eyes and fixed them on Imperial Physician Li.
Xiao Yu Ge's palms were sweating nervously, but Qian Ting Xuan turned back to her with a slight smile and tightened his grip on her hand, as if telling her that everything was fine, he was there, and she didn't have to be afraid!
"Seeing this, Li Taiyi replied: “Your Majesty, the County Lord is indeed pregnant. She has been with child for over a month, but..."
His sudden pause caused everyone to become tense, and Xiao Yuge was even more shocked: This is outrageous, she and Qian Tingxuan didn't have that, how could there possibly be a child
Looking at Dr. Li's serious expression, she herself began to wonder: Could it be that she was really pregnant When did this happen How could she not know
"However, the fetal image is not stable and requires rest. After three months, when the fetal image stabilizes, you can rest assured."
After listening to Li Taiyi's words, Qian Tingxuan gently pulled Xiao Yuge's hand: "Little Song, did you hear You have to rest well and don't run out like that again." Wasn't this a grand display of affection between husband and wife
"Alright, Imperial Physician Li, there's nothing more you need to do here. You may retire now." The Emperor waved his hand at Imperial Physician Li. He was his man, so he naturally trusted him.
"The old minister bids farewell!"
After Li Taiyi left, the Emperor pursed his lips and looked at the National Teacher. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. They had originally planned to force them into marriage right then and there, but unexpectedly, Qian Tingxuan and Xiao Yuge came saying that she was pregnant. They didn't even have a chance to speak. Now that she was truly pregnant, the matter of forcing them into marriage naturally needed another plan.
"Brother Emperor, have you summoned us for a reason" At that moment, Qian Tingxuan seemed to remember the purpose of his visit to the palace today.
The emperor quickly exchanged glances with the national teacher before saying, "Ah, Lao Shiwu, there's nothing else really. It's mainly about discussing tomorrow's imperial birthday banquet with you all. However, since Ge'er is pregnant now, you probably wouldn't feel at ease. I'll just have Si Chen handle this matter. You should accompany Ge'er back first."
"Thank you, brother, for your understanding!" Qian Tingxuan carefully supported Xiao Yuge out of the Yangxin Hall.
Only the Grand Tutor and Qian Si Chen remained in the hall. The Emperor's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a heavy sigh. He glanced at his ill-fated son, growing even more agitated inside.
“You say you can’t even handle one woman, and let someone else take the lead!” She couldn't help but complain about her son. She originally thought that the fifteenth son was not capable, even if Ge’er was by his side, nothing would happen. But she never expected that now he had even managed to have a child.
"....." A thousand thoughts raced through her mind, formulating a rebuttal, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out. She was frustrated, feeling like she wanted to scream. If she had known that the little emperor uncle would be able to..., she would have...
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is still a way to turn things around." The state advisor beside him remained calm.
"What wise counsel can the Grand Master offer"
"This matter still depends on His Royal Highness the Prince." The national teacher looked at Qian Si Chen, hesitated for a long time before asking: "May I ask Your Highness, are you still attached to the Protectorate County Lord"
“Of course!” Qian Si Chen answered very resolutely: “Even if she had a child with the little prince, I would still love her!” He was unwilling to lose to the little prince like this.
“Then it’s settled.” The Grand Tutor’s lips curled into a slight smile. “Your Majesty, tomorrow is the day when the two noble princesses will perform dances for you. They are renowned beauties of the capital, with extraordinary dancing skills. I imagine every man in the city would love to see them. Tomorrow, all the ministers will come to celebrate your birthday. At that time, if we could persuade the two beauties to dance one more song, I believe everyone would be delighted!”
The Emperor listened as if he understood: "What the Grand Master means is..."
Ke Qiansi listened and immediately objected: "This can't be done. We all heard Dr. Li just now, Ge'er's fetal image is unstable and she shouldn't be overexerting herself. She needs to rest in bed. Dancing once is already the limit, how could we add more"
The Grand Master and the Emperor exchanged a glance: “Your Highness, it’s common for women to become pregnant. Peasant women get pregnant and still have to work in the fields; no one has ever seen a woman lose her pregnancy because of that.”
"But..." Qian Si Chen was still worried.
"Your Highness, Princess Huanguo is a divine physician herself. If she were unwell, she would surely petition the Emperor, and he would certainly show mercy. You needn't worry about it."
On a carriage.
"Qian Tingxuan, you have to tell me what's going on! How could I be pregnant out of the blue" Xiao Yuge was also dumbfounded. She knew that Li Taiyi was the emperor's man, so he wouldn't deceive the emperor, would he
Qian Tingxuan pursed his lips and chuckled softly, “Little troublemaker, don't you know if you're pregnant yourself”
"Of course not, but..." Xiao Yuge was full of question marks and couldn't help but worry: "Why would you want me to lie like this This is about having a child, not carrying a gourd. In ten months, I have to give birth to a child. Otherwise, this would be treason against the emperor, punishable by death!" She felt that Qian Tingxuan's brain must have been jammed, causing him to lie to the emperor like this.
Qian Tingxuan pulled her into his arms, leaning in close to her ear with a suggestive tone: "Then why don't we try our best and make this happen, shall we"
Xiao Yu ge listened, her face immediately darkened: "What do you mean At this time, we... how could we possibly have a child" Although she had decided to spend her life with only him, she hadn't thought about becoming a mother.
"Well, there's no other way. In ten months, let the Crown Prince accuse us of treason." Qian Tingxuan spread his hands.
“Are you stupid Why wait ten months In a few months, my belly won't grow. That would be treason!” Xiao Yuge realized the seriousness of the situation: “No, after this month, I have to run away. Lie that it was you who spread it, I don’t want to be beheaded by Your Majesty because of this lie.”
"Little one, where else do you think you're going" Qian Tingxuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. She wasn't thinking about how to make amends or find a way to deal with it, she just chose to run away. Sure enough, he shouldn't have had any expectations for her, let alone expecting her to listen obediently. He really wouldn't be surprised if she ran off and gave birth to his child!his, your mother always thought you were willful and stubborn. Now, your mother realizes that it's just your true personality. If all of this is true, you are truly her biological daughter. How wonder...
