Bai Wutong was originally a cat demon. Her family of three was unfortunately caught by humans. To vent her anger, a concubine killed her parents, skinned them, and made them into a hand warmer.
...Chapter 99 It’s so funny
Night falls.
Bai Wutong leaned against Zhang Chengyan gently, took his hand and placed it on her belly, "Your Majesty, it's great that you can stay. The children can definitely feel it, Your Majesty, please talk more."
"Well, you should relax and don't think too much. Take good care of your health so that my child can be born safely."
After a while.
The candle went out.
The room became quiet.
The lights in the harem dimmed one after another.
Only Tianxiang Pavilion was still lit.
Wen Chuyun leaned against the wall of the clean room, feeling a chill in his heart.
Starting from a few days ago, she started to have symptoms of vomiting. Not only that, she also liked to eat sour food, and even her chest began to ache slightly.
Long before she entered the palace, she knew what it felt like for a woman to have morning sickness.
She had only had sex with Wensi once, so it was impossible for her to be so accurate.
I must be feeling unwell, which is why I'm acting so abnormal!
She walked out of the purification room and met Cuiwei's eyes, who was outside with a worried look on her face.
"My lady, are you... okay?"
"fine."
Cuiwei stepped forward to support her, "Madam, you didn't have your period last month."
Wen Chuyun usually has her period in the middle of every month, but it has now been delayed for a full half month and she has also developed symptoms of morning sickness. No matter how you look at it, it seems like she is pregnant.
But she hasn't been favored for more than a month...
"Shut up." Wen Chuyun didn't want to say more and leaned back on the couch tiredly.
After vomiting, she started craving for sour food again.
I don’t know if I was saying this to Cuiwei or to myself, “It was only that time, there is absolutely no way I could be pregnant. Maybe I have been feeling unwell recently, which led to similar symptoms.”
Cuiwei was very worried. "Madam, there is a method in my hometown. It is said that as long as you put garlic in, you can know whether you are pregnant by the smell of garlic the next day. It happens that there is a head of garlic in the small kitchen. How about... you try it?"
"No need." Wen Chuyun turned his head away and stopped looking at her. "It's absolutely impossible that you are pregnant. Go do what you need to do and don't bother me here."
Cuiwei had no choice but to withdraw.
The room was silent.
Wen Chuyun slowly opened her eyes, touched her belly, and had a bad feeling in her heart.
After a long while, she called Cuiwei and said, "Go, get me two cloves of garlic."
The second day.
The news that the emperor stayed overnight at Zhaopin's place spread throughout the harem.
Wen Chuyun also found out about it and felt very upset. How come Concubine Zhao was having an affair with the emperor again?
But it's true, she is pregnant with two children. Even for the sake of the children, the emperor will probably spoil her for two more days.
I just hope that the emperor will execute Concubine Zhao after the child is born. In this way, he would have eliminated a major threat.
Wen Chuyun looked at Cuiwei, "But is it?"
"This... I didn't realize it." This method was left by her mother. She thought it would be useful, but now it seems that the garlic is no different from yesterday.
"Useless stuff." Wen Chuyun had just finished speaking when another palace maid came in with breakfast. The smell of the side dishes wafted over, and his stomach began to churn again.
Cuiwei saw that her face was not right, and immediately scolded the maid, "Who told you to come in suddenly? Get out now, do you have any manners?"
Cuiwei was asked to fetch breakfast today because she didn't have time. She had never served Wen Chuyun closely on weekdays, so she ran away in fear.
As soon as the person left, Cuiwei immediately closed the door.
Wen Chuyun couldn't bear it any longer and ran into the bathroom to vomit.
It’s just that I had completely digested last night’s meal, so I couldn’t vomit anything out, just a few sips of water.
Cuiwei brought her some warm water to rinse her mouth. "Madam, did you not sleep all night? You don't look well."
Of course Wen Chuyun couldn't sleep.
She hasn't had a good night's sleep since the day she developed morning sickness symptoms.
Even if I fall asleep, I will have nightmares or bad dreams.
"Your Highness, this won't work. You can't keep on being suspicious. Otherwise, why don't we ask Doctor Ji to take a look?"
Doctor Ji was an expert in medicine, especially in matters of pregnancy. He could diagnose a pregnancy of less than one month, and he could give the date very accurately.
Another thing is that Doctor Ji never takes sides with anyone and is well-known in the Imperial Medical Bureau for being self-protective. Because he was young and was favored by the emperor, no one dared to do anything to him.
"No, if it really happens, I must not let anyone know."
"But your majesty, it won't work if you continue like this. How about finding a female doctor to try?"
Doctor Ji has a backer, but some female doctors don’t, so they are easier to control.
Wen Chuyun was still worried.
She felt guilty and didn't want anyone to know. If the child is the emperor's, it would be fine. But if it is Wensi's, it would be a capital crime that would implicate the entire clan!
"Wait a little longer..." Wen Chuyun took a deep breath and suppressed the fear that had been lingering in his heart these days. "Let's talk about it after some time."
Wen Chuyun did not go out all day and stayed in the room the whole time, looking worried and frightened.
Xu Yao next door, on the other hand, had a happy look on her face as she put on makeup in front of the mirror.
Today, the emperor turned over her card.
Be it Wen Chuyun or Duan Chunrou, they are all useless!
Now, it is finally her turn to serve the emperor.
The maid next to her carefully combed her hair and said, "Madam, the master said that you are pregnant and will definitely bear an heir to the throne!"
"You're right, I will definitely get pregnant."
As soon as it got dark, the eunuch came.
Xu Yao was full of anticipation and couldn't stop smiling.
Cuiwei just came out to pour water and saw her being carried away.
"Humph, what are you so proud of?"
The palace maid beside Xu Yao heard it clearly and gave Cuiwei a fierce look.
When Wen Chuyun was in favor before, he never had a good face towards them.
Now it is finally my queen's turn. This is the law of change.
Let’s see who will have the last laugh!
Xu Yao entered the Yangxin Palace and lay on the dragon bed, too shy to look up.
Zhang Chengyan took a look and immediately felt bored.
Before, Wen Chuyun and Duan Chunrou at least looked to his liking.
But this Xu Yao is a little too bland.
He had been with Bai Wutong the whole day yesterday and had seen that delicate little face so many times that when he looked at Xu Yao again, there was simply nothing about her that was pleasing to the eye.
In the past two months, he has been flipping cards when he has nothing to do. It’s time for him to take a break.
"I am tired today, please carry the person back."
Xu Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
But before she could say anything, the eunuchs came in and carried her away again.
You will go back the same way you came.
Cuiwei heard the noise, went out to see, burst out laughing, and hurried in to report, "Madam, Xu Yao has been carried back again, it's really hilarious."
