Liu Xuening leaned her head against Yue Zhixiao's chest, looking like a demure young lady.

Yue Zhixiao threw Liu Xuening onto the bed, and the room was instantly filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

...

For a very long time...

Liu Xuening's slender fingers caressed Yue Zhixiao's throat. "Your Highness, may I have the maid prepare hot water for you so I can serve you a bath?"

After their lovemaking, Yue Zhixiao had already let down his guard.

He hooked Liu Xuening's chin with one hand and said, "Ning'er is indeed very thoughtful."

Liu Xuening put on her undergarments and opened the door. "Cheng'er, have someone prepare some hot water. The prince wants to take a bath."

"Yes, it's the Princess Consort. This servant will go and prepare it right away."

After filling the bathtub with hot water, Cheng'er left the room.

With her back to Yue Zhixiao, Liu Xuening poured the poison Yan An had given her into the bathtub.

"Your Highness, the water is ready. I will bathe you."

Still caught up in the excitement, Yue Zhixiao paid no attention to anything and simply stepped into the bathtub.

Liu Xuening went to the side and took a handkerchief, gently wiping Yue Zhixiao's back.

"Ning'er, won't you bathe together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Xuening was pulled into the bathtub by Yue Zhixiao.

"Ah! Your Highness, you're so wicked!"

Liu Xuening immediately started playfully punching your chest with her little fists, acting all cute and coquettish.

While in the water, Yue Zhixiao was touching her all over when she suddenly felt a surge of heat and wanted to do something, but the heat suddenly subsided.

Looking at Liu Xuening, who was already soaked in water, her shapely figure was very alluring. He tried again, but still didn't feel anything.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Liu Xuening naturally knew what was wrong with Yue Zhixiao. It seemed that Yan An really had some skills, as the effect was immediate.

It has to be said that Yue Zhixiao is indeed a homosexual. Just thinking about her relationships with multiple men... makes me feel nauseous.

"vomit……"

Yue Zhixiao seemed to understand something and immediately became a little nervous. He helped Liu Xuening up and carried her to the bed.

He wiped Liu Xuening's face with a handkerchief and then helped her put on her coat.

"Ning'er, lie down quickly. Ning'er, tell me honestly, has your period come this month?"

After pondering for a moment, Liu Xuening recalled Yan An's words and realized that her period this month had indeed been delayed by a few days.

"Normally, he should have arrived the day before yesterday. It is true that he was delayed by two days, but delays are possible. Why does Your Highness ask this?"

Liu Xuening is really good at playing the fool.

"I will go and summon a physician from the palace to examine you. Ning'er, you wait here for me."

Yue Zhixiao pushed open the door and said, "Zebin, go and fetch the royal physician for me, quickly!"

A daring idea kept replaying in Yue Zhixiao's mind. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He paced back and forth on the ground, rubbing his hands together. Gradually, he could no longer suppress his evil thoughts and completely fell into a state of madness.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yue Zhixiao shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm just too happy. I might be going to have a prince. I'll have an heir!"

Liu Xuening was still pretending not to understand, looking aggrieved, as if Yue Zhixiao was having an affair.

"Is Your Highness going to take a wife and concubine? Does Your Highness no longer like Ning'er?"

Yue Zhixiao immediately stepped forward and took Liu Xuening's hand, afraid that she might get agitated and frighten the baby in her belly. After all, his mother had said that the first three months of her daughter's pregnancy were the most dangerous and could easily lead to miscarriage.

"How could that be? I only have Ning'er, how could there be anyone else? I was just talking about Ning'er. Ning'er, we're going to have a child!"

"Does Your Highness mean that I am pregnant?"

Liu Xuening placed her hand on her stomach and stroked it a few times, looking just like a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"But Your Highness, my period has been delayed before, and it's not always accurate. Your Highness is so happy, I'm afraid..."

Yue Zhixiao grasped Liu Xuening's hand and rubbed it in his own.

"Ning'er, do you not believe in my strength?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuening's ears and cheeks instantly turned bright red, just like apples.

It's strange, though. Normally, if Liu Xuening looked like this, Yue Zhixiao would definitely have taken advantage of her immediately. Why doesn't he feel anything this time? Could it be...?

Yue Zhixiao found it hard to believe. Although the feeling came on inexplicably, it was going away even more strangely.

No, after he has completed his great undertaking, he still needs to have a trusted imperial physician examine him again.

Strength? Liu Xuening looked at Yue Zhixiao's confident face. If it weren't for the drug Yan An gave him, he might be in some man's den right now.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuening felt nauseous again, "Ugh..."

"Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Cheng'er immediately entered with the royal physician, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"No need for formalities. Come and take a look at Ning'er. She feels a bit nauseous today. Please check her carefully."

Upon hearing the word "nausea" and seeing the messy room, the royal physician immediately understood what it meant. However, he was somewhat confused at this moment, as the prince had always been fond of men and had even asked him to treat him on several occasions.

How could the concubine possibly get pregnant now?

"I will take your pulse now."

The physician took Liu Xuening's pulse and immediately stood up after a moment.

"The cun pulse belongs to yin and is the pulse position of the kidney. Since the uterus is governed by the kidney, the movement of fetal qi causes the cun pulse to be slippery and rapid, and strong when pressed, which is different from the cun pulse of yang."

Yue Zhixiao listened to this rambling speech, his face slightly angry. "Speak like a human being!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations! The Consort is pregnant, but it's not even a month yet, so it's not very obvious. I can take her pulse again in a few days."

Unable to contain her excitement, Yue Zhixiao's breathing quickened, and her expression became both tense and excited.

His efforts over the past few days had finally paid off, and he was overwhelmed with excitement.

Even if things are not the same as before, so what? He already has offspring, he has a successor!

"Hahaha, pass down the order: reward the entire household!"

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yue Zhixiao waved his hand, signaling them all to leave, then sat on the edge of the bed, stroking Liu Xuening's belly.

The physician remained silent and dared not utter a sound. Yue Zhixiao frowned slightly and his expression changed several times as he saw that the physician had not yet left.

Why aren't you leaving?

He certainly couldn't leave yet. Although Liu Xuening was showing signs of pregnancy, the mess in the room spoke volumes about what the two of them had done before they arrived.

If he leaves today, and after a few days, if they can't find out she's pregnant, then he can forget about keeping his head on his body any longer.

“Your Highness, the concubine is less than a month pregnant and her condition is very unstable. We should avoid such matters in the bedroom as much as possible.”

The royal physician didn't know when Yue Zhixiao's illness had improved, but since he was cured and was in his prime, it was normal for him to be unable to hold back his anger, especially since his lord had endured so many years of suffering.
