"Please summon Imperial Physician Chen as well." The imperial physician didn't respond to the Crown Princess's question but turned to instruct one of the palace maids at the door.
The palace maid furrowed her brows and went to fetch Imperial Physician Chen from the Crown Prince's room.
Imperial Physician Chen examined the Crown Princess's pulse and was equally astonished.
They exchanged glances.
Imperial Physician Luo said, "Imperial Physician Chen, did you observe the same pulse pattern..."
Imperial Physician Chen nodded.
Imperial Physician Luo understood the situation and stood up, taking a step back. He bowed to the Crown Princess and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. It's a pregnancy pulse. You are one month pregnant!"
"I... I'm pregnant?" The Crown Princess was no less surprised than the two imperial physicians.
This child...
It came at just the right time!
The Crown Princess's shock gradually faded from her eyes, replaced by an overwhelming joy. She sat up, looked at the two palace maids by her side, and curled her lips, saying, "Did you hear that? I have the Crown Prince's flesh and blood in my womb."
The Crown Prince's first child.
Was there a better death-free medallion in the world?
The Crown Princess's demeanor became somewhat unbridled, and she asked, "It's a son, right, two imperial physicians?"
"Well..." The two people hesitated. They couldn't determine the gender.
The Crown Princess laughed and said, "It must be. The Crown Prince is in harmony with the will of Heaven, and he has great blessings. His first child must be a son."
The two imperial physicians dared not say otherwise, or it might be seen as them cursing the Crown Prince.
The Crown Princess spoke gently, "How is the condition of my pregnancy? Does this Crown Princess need to take any pregnancy-stabilizing medicine?"
Imperial Physician Luo answered, "In response to Your Highness, Your Highness's pulse is strong, and your pregnancy energy is ample and stable. There's no need to take any pregnancy-stabilizing medicine."
The Crown Princess smiled slightly, "Is that so? Ning Wangfei has been pregnant three times; this Crown Princess doesn't want to be like her."
Imperial Physician Luo quickly added, "It won't happen. Your Highness’s pregnancy is extremely stable." He paused for a moment and added, "However, Your Highness should be careful and cautious in the first three months."
The two palace maids sent by Empress Xiao were stunned simultaneously.
Setting aside past grievances, the Crown Princess smiled gently and said to them, "Are you both so thrilled that you're dumbfounded? Why don’t you hurry and inform imperial mother that this Crown Princess is expecting? Never mind, this Crown Princess will personally pay her respects to imperial mother."
This time, the two palace maids didn't stop her.
They understood that no matter what felony the Crown Princess had committed, with her child in her womb, she had completely turned the situation in her favor.
Imperial heirs were precious in the palace, and Empress Xiao was desperate for the Crown Prince to produce one. If she learned that the Crown Princess was pregnant, she would do everything to protect her.
The Crown Princess first went to the Crown Prince's room.
The Crown Prince had taken a sedative and was in a deep sleep.
The Crown Princess reached out and gently stroked the Crown Prince's cheek, saying, "Your Highness, Linlang is carrying your child. You are going to be a father soon."
When the Crown Princess left the East Palace, she felt that the sky above her was bluer than ever.
Even the Heavens seemed to be on her side. With the Heavens not forsaking her, she was destined to become the mother of the world!
The Crown Princess, accompanied by several palace maids from the East Palace, headed to Kunning Palace.
On her way, she encountered Gu Jiao, who was looking for Little Jing Kong in the imperial garden.
"Isn't this Physician Gu?" The Crown Princess strolled over leisurely, glanced at Gu Jiao, and said, "Did Physician Gu come to the imperial garden today to pick flowers, or are you here to enjoy the scenery?"
Gu Jiao didn't even bother to give her a glance.
The Crown Princess stood next to her, turned to the side, and looked at her with a half-smile, saying, "Are you surprised that this Crown Princess managed to step out of the East Palace?"
Gu Jiao had no idea about the Crown Princess being kept under confinement by Empress Xiao, so she didn't understand the context of her question.
However, the Crown Princess assumed she was simply acting calm. She placed a hand on her still-flat abdomen and continued, "This Crown Princess shall tell you the truth— I'm pregnant."
"Oh." Gu Jiao remained unstirred, "The Crown Prince's?"
The Crown Princess's pupils constricted, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She said, "Physician Gu, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to insult this Crown Princess? I am the Crown Princess, and the child in my womb is undoubtedly the Crown Prince's. Whose else could it be?"
Gu Jiao made a nonchalant sound, "Ning Wang's?"
The Crown Princess clenched her teeth, "Physician Gu, please mind your words!"
"Oh." Gu Jiao replied, "It’s just a casual talk, no need to get so worked up."
What did it matter to her whose child it was anyway?
The Crown Princess spoke seriously, "It's the Crown Prince's! Don't spread baseless rumors outside and tarnish my reputation! This Crown Princess overlooked what you did to me in the past because of Princess Xinyang's sake. But if you slander the imperial bloodline, not only will this Crown Princess not spare you, but the Crown Prince and Empress Xiao won't either!"
She continued, lifting her chin with a hint of arrogance in her demeanor, "Physician Gu, this Crown Princess has advised you before, don't make an enemy out of me. You target me at every turn, but look who wins in the end? You say that this Crown Princess has an ambiguous relationship with Ning Wang, but how clean can you, Gu Jiao, be? This incident may have been initiated by the State of Chen's hostage prince, but this Crown Princess knows you had a hand in it too! You're already married, but you're still involved with the State of Chen's hostage prince. How much nobler are you than this Crown Princess?"
Gu Jiao gave her a casual glance, "You're filthy, so you assume everyone else is also filthy?"
The Crown Princess exclaimed, "You!"
Coincidentally, at that moment, Little Jing Kong and Long Yi had finished picking flowers and approached. Gu Jiao took Little Jing Kong's hand and walked away without looking back.
Being ignored was more frustrating than being talked back to. Over the past few days, the Crown Princess had experienced extreme highs and lows, causing her rationality to crumble. She held her belly and called out to Gu Jiao, "Stop scheming against this Crown Princess! The child in my womb is my death-free medallion. With it, even if I kill you, no one will question me!"
Long Yi hadn't left yet.
He curiously looked at the Crown Princess's belly.
Suddenly, he extended his hand and gave it a smack——
The Crown Princess felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, "Ah!"
Long Yi pulled back his hand and gave her a sidelong glance.
He seemed to be asking:
Now, do you still have it?
The Crown Princess: "..."
Dragon Shadow Guards would never harm those who didn’t know martial arts, but Long Yi... Well, he was a fake Dragon Shadow Guard who just randomly tagged along.
In other words, he wouldn’t follow the rules set by the late Emperor for the Dragon Shadow Guards.
This scene was truly shocking, even the birds in the imperial garden dared not chirp!
