"Believe me, my little wife, no matter what I've forgotten, we're together now, and I will never give up on you, no matter what happens in life or death." Shang Xiye gently cupped the little bandit's chubby face as if it were a precious treasure, spoiling her rotten: "No matter where you are in the world, you will always be my little wife, and you're not allowed to leave me."

These touching words of love rendered Ji Fengyao instantly illiterate:

All I could think of was "Ahhh..."

She forced herself to lower her head and quickly finished piercing the last few strands, completely removing the icy toxins sealed in his body.

He got up again and calmly washed his hands in the basin of water next to him.

Then,

A female bandit bent over,

They dragged Shang Xiye, who was lying on the soft couch, into the room!

Magpie: "Miss...?"

Bai Lu tightly covered the magpie's mouth: "Shh!"

Wuying: "...The sun is shining so nicely today. I heard the gossip outside is quite interesting. Wuhen, how about we go out and visit a teahouse?"

Dianxiang Pavilion.

Princess Zhaoping has been vomiting and has had a poor appetite since yesterday, and she is also listless.

In the morning, Simeng invited Imperial Physician Gao from the palace.

After examining Princess Zhaoping with focused concentration for a long time, the Imperial Physician Gao suddenly stood up and knelt down, his face beaming with joy, and loudly proclaimed, "Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations! It's a pregnancy pulse!"

Princess Zhaoping: "..."

What the bandit said was true; there really is a drug in this world that can induce a false pregnancy!

Simeng and Siyi were both stunned:

What incredible luck Princess Zhaoping had to win the lottery on her first try?

When the bedridden and paralyzed Granny Zheng received this news, she was utterly dumbfounded:

How is that possible!

Princess Zhaoping has... how could she possibly be pregnant!

Just in case, Granny Zheng personally wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager;

The Empress Dowager also specially sent people to dig out Sun Shouli, who had already retired from the palace and was preparing to enjoy his old age, and forced him to enter the Ninth Prince's mansion again to take the pulse of Princess Zhaoping.

Sun Shouli trembled with fear upon hearing the words "Ninth Prince's Mansion";

He was filled with misery, terrified of encountering Ji Fengyao.

He entered the Prince's mansion with trepidation, almost covering his face the whole way, wishing he could slip along the walls. He finally made it into the Dianxiang Pavilion and took Princess Zhaoping's pulse. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, his heart was in his throat again.

The pulse looks like a pregnancy pulse, but...

Sun Shouli nervously raised his eyes and caught sight of Simeng, Siyi, and Granny Zheng's expectant and inquisitive expressions, as well as the motionless Princess Zhaoping behind the curtain.

"The princess's lineage..."

How is the pulse?

Sun Shouli had barely finished speaking when Simeng and Siyi eagerly pressed him for answers.

He looked like he was about to beat him up if he dared to say it wasn't a pregnancy test.

Sun Shouli: "..."

Why didn't I pack my bags and go back to my hometown sooner!

What a lust for Kyoto's prosperity!

This is really going to be a big deal, sob sob!

"Imperial Physician Sun, Imperial Physician Gao said I have a pregnancy pulse, but you don't think so." Princess Zhaoping was also uneasy, and for the first time, she was coercing others with such veiled meaning in her words: "If it's not a pregnancy pulse, then what illness do I have that has caused me to vomit repeatedly and have little strength these past two days? Do you have any good remedies for it?"

"Your Highness," Sun Shouli said, steeling his heart, closing his eyes, kneeling and crawling back two steps, then banging his head heavily on the ground. "My pulse sounds like a pregnancy pulse, and it sounds like a pregnancy that is less than a month old, so... so the pulse is not strong."

Not full term, of course it's not full term!

Princess Zhaoping and the Ninth Prince consummated their marriage only a little over half a month ago!

Granny Zheng was both surprised and delighted:

This is truly bizarre! Princess Zhaoping is actually pregnant!
