After washing up, Lu Yanzhao found Gu Nanjiao lying motionless on the bed.

He skillfully lifted the covers and lay down, pressing close to Gu Nanjiao's back, pulling her into his arms, his warm breath brushing against her ear.

"Did you miss me?" Lu Yanzhao kissed Gu Nanjiao's earlobe, his husky voice incredibly seductive.

Gu Nanjiao shuddered, turned around to meet Lu Yanzhao's gaze, stretched out her slender, fair fingers and traced them across his neck, her fingers gently sliding along the fair skin beside his delicate collarbone, her breath sweet as orchids: "I think about him every night."

This tingling yet soft sensation made Lu Yanzhao feel as if his whole body had been burned by fire, and his body instantly became burning hot.

Soon, Gu Nanjiao's clothes disappeared.

Suddenly a sachet fell out, and Gu Nanjiao reached out to take it, but Lu Yanzhao stopped her.

"That's something the Queen asked me to give you; it's very important!"

"Not as important as you!" As he spoke, Lu Yanzhao kissed her, letting out a satisfied sigh.

What followed was all Gu Nanjiao's coquettish whining and complaining.

As the rollercoaster ride reached its peak, Gu Nanjiao suddenly screamed, her face turning deathly pale, and cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Yanzhao stopped and noticed that Gu Nanjiao was biting her lip tightly, looking pained. She was completely unlike her usual reserved and cheerful self.

"My stomach hurts!" After Lu Yanzhao left, Gu Nanjiao immediately curled up like a shrimp. Her stomach was hurting terribly, and large beads of sweat were streaming down her forehead. She bit her lip so hard that it almost bled.

"I'll go get the doctor!" Lu Yanzhao called Cui'er and Guo'er to take care of Gu Nanjiao, then threw on a coat and rushed out the door.

"No need to go, I... I think I've started my period." Gu Nanjiao struggled to get up, her lower abdomen aching as if pricked by needles, with waves of sharp pain.

Why is the pain during her period so severe this time? Gu Nanjiao felt like vomiting from the pain.

It's also her fault; knowing her period was approaching, she still insisted on sleeping with Gu Yanzhao.

After vomiting a few times in pain, Gu Nanjiao rolled her eyes and fainted on the bed.

Cui'er was terrified and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Guo'er quickly stepped forward to pinch the philtrum and shouted loudly to Cui'er, "Go and call the old lady!"

Soon, Lu Yanzhao dragged the doctor over, and he even put on the wrong shoe.

The old doctor straightened his collar with some dissatisfaction and snorted coldly at Lu Yanzhao.

He was sound asleep in the middle of the night when these people knocked on the door and dragged him out.

If it weren't for the fact that he was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the old doctor would have already lost his temper.

Mrs. Lu was pacing anxiously in front of the door. When she saw the doctor, her eyes lit up: "Doctor, you've come! Please take a look at my daughter-in-law. Why did she suddenly faint from the pain?"

Lu Yanzhao looked somewhat guilty, but when he saw Gu Nanjiao, who was pale and motionless, he was immediately shocked.

"Doctor, please take a look quickly. I'm so sorry to have disturbed you in the middle of the night."

The old doctor had good medical ethics; he immediately put down his medicine box and placed two fingers on Gu Nanjiao's fair wrist.

The old doctor frowned more and more, giving Lu Yanzhao a disappointed look before finally sighing.

"Doctor, is everything alright?" Seeing this, Lu's mother's heart clenched, her eyes filled with worry.

“Young man, you just don’t know how to control yourself. Tell me…” The old doctor pointed at Lu Yanzhao, frowning, and said, “Can you even have sex like that? And so vigorously! Luckily you met me, otherwise…”

"What?" Seeing Lu Yanzhao's confusion, the old doctor sat up straight and pointed to Gu Nanjiao's lower abdomen: "There's an extra baby."

"Oh my, doctor, are you serious?" Mrs. Lu beamed with joy, her mouth stretching to her ears.

The old doctor was the best physician in the capital. He was displeased that Lu's mother doubted him so much. He stroked his white beard and said, "If you don't trust me, why did you kidnap me in the middle of the night? If you can't do it, then please find someone else."

As the old doctor was about to leave, Lu's mother quickly grabbed his arm: "Oh dear, how could I not believe you? You see, I was so happy I was confused. Thank you, doctor, for calling you in the middle of the night. I'm so sorry."

As she spoke, Lu's mother reached into her sleeve and pulled out a bulging little purse, which she then stuffed into the old doctor's hand: "Thank you for making this trip."

Hmph! The old doctor weighed the silver in his purse, sat down with satisfaction, took out paper and pen from his medicine box, and quickly wrote down a prescription: "I'll prescribe some medicine that helps with pregnancy. Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl, take it twice a day, morning and evening, for one month."

Lu Yanzhao stood there dumbfounded. The old doctor glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "You need to be more restrained in this kind of thing in the future. Don't be together for three months. Even if you can't stand it, you have to."

At such a young age, Lu Yanzhao was already a fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Everyone treated him with utmost respect. The old doctor wasn't afraid of him at all, and sometimes he would say things directly to Lu Yanzhao's face.

Lu's mother pinched Lu Yanzhao hard: "Look at you, what kind of mess have you made? Luckily the doctor arrived in time, otherwise if Jiaojiao had been in trouble, I would have been very lenient with you."

"Mom, am I going to be a father?" Lu Yanzhao covered his arm, which had been pinched so hard, and a magnetic laugh slowly escaped his throat as the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Lu's mother was also very happy about her silly son: "Yes, you're going to be a father, and I'm going to be a grandmother."

Upon receiving confirmation, Lu Yanzhao was overjoyed. He went to Gu Nanjiao's side, gently stroked her pale face, and looked at the old doctor with concern: "When will she wake up?"

"The medicine is ready. Quickly send someone to my pharmacy to get it." The old doctor handed the prescription to Madam Lu, took out silver needles from his medicine box, and pricked Gu Nanjiao's acupoints twice. Gu Nanjiao slowly woke up.

"Alright, he's awake. I'm going back now." The old doctor slung his medicine box over his shoulder and was about to leave when Madam Lu quickly got up to see him off.

As soon as Gu Nanjiao woke up, Lu Yanzhao hugged her and kissed her hard, his eyes full of joy.

"Jiaojiao!" Lu Yanzhao kissed her again, his eyes filled with tenderness and love as he looked at Gu Nanjiao.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you kissing and hugging me like that?" Gu Nanjiao rubbed her lower abdomen and found that the pain had subsided. She then raised an eyebrow and teased Lu Yanzhao.

Lu Yanzhao opened his mouth, intending to tell Guo Nanjiao the good news, but before he could speak, his mother rushed in from outside the door, grabbed Lu Yanzhao's ear and twisted it, while also slapping his back a few times with her other hand.

“How old are you? How can you be so unrestrained? From now on, you will sleep in the study.”

Despite being beaten, Lu Yanzhao still had a smile on his face, clasped his hands together, and begged his mother for mercy: "Mother, spare my life. I will definitely listen to the doctor's advice from now on and never overstep the bounds."

"Tch!" Lu's mother rolled her eyes, clearly not believing Lu Yanzhao's words.

Seeing Gu Nanjiao staring at them with a bewildered look, Lu's mother smiled and took her hand, her voice so gentle it could melt water: "Jiaojiao, are you hungry? Would you like me to make you something to eat?"

Gu Nanjiao shook her head and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you all? Why are you all so concerned about me? I just had my period, and it doesn't hurt anymore. You're disturbing your mother's rest in the middle of the night. Please go back."

"Oh dear, Mother is so excited she can't sleep." Mother Lu gently patted Gu Nanjiao's lower abdomen, giving her a reproachful look: "You're so forgetful, you didn't even know you were pregnant?"

"What happened?"

"You're pregnant! I'm going to be a grandmother!"

What? This news was like a bomb, exploding in Gu Nanjiao's mind, making her head buzz instantly.

Gu Nanjiao rolled her eyes and almost fainted again because she couldn't catch her breath. Fortunately, Lu's mother was quick-witted and caught her, pinching her philtrum twice with her thumb.

Good heavens, what a tragedy! She's only 18, how could she be pregnant?

It seems that the so-called ovulation period contraception is extremely unreliable, and the "seven days before and eight days after" method is all fake.

Gu Nanjiao stared blankly at the bed canopy, her eyes vacant.

She was not happy at all. The thought of her morning sickness and big belly made her want to cry instantly!
