Chapter 90 Are you a doctor?

Youlan Courtyard.

"Your Highness, I heard that my eldest sister was injured after falling off a frightened horse. Is she okay?" Shen Lingshu asked immediately when she saw Chu Cong.

Chu Cong didn't say anything. He pulled her to sit down and asked, "She scolded you so much today, but you still care about her?"

His eyes were filled with scrutiny and examination. Was she pretending, or was she really doing it?

"She's my eldest sister, so of course I care about her?"

Facing Chu Cong's scrutiny, Shen Lingshu was not afraid at all. She put on her best acting skills, three parts entangled and seven parts sincere. She said: "Father said that my concubine and my eldest sister are both members of the Shen family, although my eldest sister..."

Shen Lingshu hesitated and paused: "Although my elder sister doesn't like me, I also hope that my elder sister is well."

Her eyes were full of sincerity, without any falsehood. Even the slight entanglement in her eyes was probably because Shen Lingyi treated her badly, but in the end, he was still worried about her safety.

"Ling Shu."

Chu Cong pulled her directly into his arms and gently stroked her long hair. How could she be so kind?

Shen Lingshu nestled in her arms, looking up, and said a little embarrassedly: "When my elder sister talked about the child, I was very angry."

When she said she was angry, Shen Lingshu also deliberately managed her expression, looking fierce and aggressive.

"But..." Shen Lingshu pursed her lips and said, "When I heard that my elder sister was frightened and fell off the carriage, and even lost her child, I still felt a little uncomfortable."

Shen Lingshu covered her heart and said sincerely: "After becoming a mother, I realized that every child is hard-earned. If necessary, I would rather sacrifice my life, and I only hope that my child will be safe throughout his life."

Talking about the greatness of maternal love, crystal tears swirled in Shen Lingshu's eyes, and finally condensed into pearls and dripped down.

The long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, which made people feel pity.

Chu Cong raised his hand, gently wiped away his tears with his fingertips, and said, "This king will protect you."

The incident of encountering the snake again today made Chu Cong realize that even though she gave birth to two daughters, there were still people keeping an eye on her and her daughters. No, perhaps, someone was keeping an eye on his offspring.

"Your Majesty, I believe it."

Shen Lingshu raised her eyes, her sparkling eyes full of trust in Chu Cong. Until she saw his eyes gradually darken and his gaze became more and more scorching, she understood.

She had just come out of confinement and was not suitable to serve the prince, but in order to win the prince's heart, there were some things that Shen Lingshu had to do.

At night, I called for water twice in a row.

In Qiutang Courtyard, the lights in Concubine Fang's room were always on. She had just changed into her menstrual belt, and her face was gloomy. After Shen Lingshu came out of confinement, she was afraid that the prince would go somewhere else and there would be even less of her.

"Mammy, do you think I can still get pregnant?"

Concubine Fang was a little suspicious. She had tried so many folk remedies given by her mother, so why hadn't she gotten pregnant yet?

"Concubine, you are young and in good health, you will definitely be able to get pregnant." Aunt Gui comforted her with certainty.

Concubine Fang lay on the bed, murmuring, "I must give birth to the eldest son of Prince Lin's mansion."

…

Shen Mansion.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the Eastern Palace. After the miscarriage, Shen Lingyi was comforted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who said that he must investigate the matter thoroughly.

Unfortunately, they came well prepared and were destined to return empty-handed.

"Mother, I suspect that the Crown Princess has known about my pregnancy for a long time, and she deliberately set an ambush for me by going to Prince Lin's Mansion."

"Also, today the Crown Princess took the Crown Prince to meet several great scholars. Why didn't they meet him earlier or later, but today?"

"If Your Highness were here, I wouldn't have fallen so badly today."

After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by guards.

The more Shen Lingyi thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was right. She murmured, "In the East Palace, apart from the Crown Princess and Concubine Zhang, no one else has given birth to a child. Perhaps..."

East Palace.

The Crown Princess blamed herself and said, "Your Highness, it's all my fault that I didn't protect Sister Shen well. Otherwise, my sister's child wouldn't be gone."

The prince stared at her for a long time and tried several times, but the princess repelled his threats with ease and dispelled his suspicions. Until the prince left, the princess wiped her tears and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips!

Shen Lingyi, want to give birth to a child? Dream on.

The next day, Chu Cong received news early in the morning that the maid from yesterday was found. She was found in a well outside the Prince Lin's Mansion, dead!

There is no evidence, and we have no idea where this maid came from, let alone who ordered her to do so.

Chu Cong sent more people to protect Shen Lingshu, her mother and daughter, and then went to court.

Three months later, Shen Lingshu stepped into Qiutang Courtyard again.

“Congratulations, Sister Shen, you are now a concubine.”

When Concubine Fang saw the radiant and graceful Shen Lingshu, she became even more angry. Others became ugly after giving birth, but why did she become more and more beautiful after giving birth?

"Greetings, Concubine."

After Shen Lingshu paid her respects, she discovered that in addition to Aunt Li and Aunt Lin, there were two more people, who should be Aunt Qi and Aunt Cheng.

"Meet Concubine Shen."

Aunt Li and the other three bowed to Shen Lingshu. According to rank, a concubine is higher than a maid.

Qi Qing and Cheng Lanshu were fine. Concubine Lin Baozhu had received the favor and had no complaints. Only Concubine Li Susu felt unwilling when she was paying her respects.

"Auntie Li, Auntie Lin, you entered the mansion earlier than Sister Shen, so you have to work harder on your belly."

Concubine Fang said encouragingly.

"Concubine Shen is so blessed, how can we compare to her?" Li Susu looked at Shen Lingshu's belly enviously.

"I'm not feeling well." Lin Baozhu said.

Concubine Fang glanced at Aunt Li in surprise. She wasn't angry at all?

Something is wrong.

"Concubine Shen, how can I get pregnant as soon as possible?" Qi Qing stared at Shen Lingshu's face, and the jealousy in her heart was written on her face. Before entering the mansion, she knew that Concubine Shen of the Linwang Mansion was favored and the only one who was pregnant, so she must be more beautiful.

Who knew that when I saw her today, she was not just a little prettier, but much prettier. Even as a woman, she felt extremely jealous when she saw her.

"Listen to Aunt Hua, and you will definitely get pregnant soon." Shen Lingshu directly pushed the blame onto Aunt Hua. Since she became pregnant and gave birth, Aunt Hua had been guarding Youlan Courtyard during the day.

At night, when Chu Cong was served by someone, he would still hold a pillow and help his aunt get pregnant as he did before.

“…”

What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?

Qi Qing was not satisfied. She remembered that the prince stayed in her courtyard yesterday. Her eyes turned and she said, "Concubine Shen, I heard that if you give birth to twins, you need to stay in confinement for two months to recover. Otherwise, it will cause great harm to your body."

It's only been a month, and you can't wait to serve the prince. How shameless!

Qi Qing said he cared, but he was reminding Shen Lingshu that she shouldn’t serve the prince.

"Are you a doctor?" Shen Lingshu asked, tilting her head.

"No." Qi Qing shook his head.

"You spoke so confidently, I thought you were a doctor. After all, Doctor Lin said that I have recovered." Shen Lingshu naturally would not tell Qi Qing how she served the prince yesterday.

Qi Qing: "..." Is this a mockery of her?
