Now, noticing that Ruanruan's little movements were exactly like her mother's, Gong Shangjiao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious... However, he wasn't a doctor, nor did he understand pharmacology, so he couldn't tell whether it was the result he was thinking of.

He didn't know, but that didn't mean his brother didn't know. However, considering that his brother's parents had passed away early and he had never been involved in this field, and because he was still single, he couldn't offer his brother any help.

"Brother Yuanzheng, take Ruanruan's pulse." Gong Shangjiao didn't explain why, but turned to Yuanzheng and said.

Hearing this, Gong Yuanzheng was visibly taken aback but didn't say anything. His brother must have his reasons for doing this! The doting older brother wouldn't say no to his own brother, of course, there were conditions. Gong Ruanruan was also surprised, clearly wondering why he was being asked to take her pulse.

With her physical condition, she's practically in top form! Gong Ruanruan, after all, completed nine years of compulsory education; she wasn't a "nine-year-old fish" (meaning someone who failed the basics of education). She had this common sense and immediately thought of the most likely scenario. But it's strange! Don't they have reproductive barriers?!

Moreover, she now seriously doubts whether there is something wrong with her intelligence, why didn't she think of this at all back then? It's really as strange as it gets!

Gong Yuanzheng carefully reached out and took Gong Ruanruan's pulse, while Gong Ruanruan mentally fired shots at Xiao Kou, "Xiao Kou! Tell me what's going on? I'm a little kitten! My brother is a normal person, even if I used to be. The thing is, I'm not anymore!"

Shouldn't there be reproductive isolation between any animals? And why, even though I have my period, do I not think about it at all after it ends? Confess honestly, and you'll be treated leniently; resist, and you'll be punished severely!

Xiao Kou: "..."

[An'an~! I didn't know about this either. If I hadn't seen your health report, I wouldn't have known at all. But don't worry, there are many childcare pills in the shop, so you won't have to worry about anything!]

Gong Yuanzheng gently placed his fingertips on the soft pulse, feeling its smooth, flowing nature, as if tiny beads were sliding under his fingers—round and strong. Instantly, Gong Yuanzheng frowned deeply, his expression one of disbelief.

After a while, Gong Yuanzheng finally relaxed his brows. However, he was feeling somewhat complicated. He was not yet capable of being a good father, since he had never been involved in this kind of matter before. Apart from the ladies and gentlemen of the palace, very few people in the palace would let him take their pulse personally.

Moreover, no wife in the palace has become pregnant in recent years. Gong Yuanzheng has been constantly switching between making and detoxifying poisons. Now, suddenly being told that he is going to be a father, he is at a loss. Even so, Gong Yuanzheng still spoke first: "Ruan Ruan, I... I will be a good father. You... you too... don't be nervous!"

Gong Yuanzheng stammered as he spoke, and the two new parents panicked, wondering what to do. They both looked at Gong Shangjiao sitting to the side, as he was the only one among the three who seemed reliable.

Feeling the gazes directed at him by his younger brother Yuanzheng and Ruanruan, Gong Shangjiao pursed his lips. There was something he didn't know if he should say: "Have you ever thought that I'm not married and don't have any children?"

However, Gong Shangjiao was delighted by their trust. Not to mention Yuanzheng, Ruan Ruan, who had always been by Yuanzheng's side, also trusted him just as much as he did.
