Chapter 253 "You must always remember that you are just a first-rate criminal who dares to violate the will of my husband.
When Princess Jiacheng heard the word "offspring", her eyebrows moved slightly and she snorted.
"Ruan Mian, do you think I will believe your nonsense? Monk Huiji is the abbot of Guhua Temple. You are a fugitive, and you are her disciple? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"
"Looking at your foxy appearance, I'm afraid it would be more convincing to say that you were taught by Daji."
Ruan Mian suppressed his laughter and said seriously, "Madam, you are joking. Although I am an exile, I am also a merchant from Kyoto. During my exile, I had dealings with the monk Huiji and received his kindness."
"Of course, if Madam doesn't believe it, that's fine. Madam, these ginsengs will just be considered as a gift from me to you. If there is really good news, you can believe me then."
How could Princess Jiacheng believe her? If she wasn't so cold that she was almost losing consciousness, she would definitely have a good talk with her.
But at this moment she felt cold all over and dizzy, and was anxious to see a doctor. She glared at Ruan Mian and warned him.
"Always remember, you are nothing but a first-rate criminal. If you dare to go against my husband's will, I will make sure that you and Xie Huaian will never be able to turn things around!"
After saying these harsh words, she and her maids left the house trembling.
Cuizhu snorted and rolled her eyes. "The Governor is such a good man, yet he married such a petty, evil-minded woman! He's truly blind."
"The Governor-General you speak so highly of has actually made a dancer pregnant."
Ruan Mian said this casually, and Cui Zhu immediately felt sick to her stomach: "What!? It seems I was blind. He is really a beast in human form, dirty and shameless!"
After hearing what she said, Ruan Mian couldn't help laughing. The house collapsed so quickly.
"But young lady, you asked Meixi and Yunxiu to teach her a lesson just one moment, and then you gave her such precious medicinal herbs the next moment? What right does she have?"
"Do you think that's real medicine?"
"Ah? Is it still fake?"
It's not fake, it's just that there are some extra things added in it.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a reaction within five days. Even if she doesn't eat it, she won't be able to escape as long as she comes into contact with it.
Sure enough, five days later, Princess Jiacheng was already feeling unwell.
The maid specially went to find a doctor in Wuheng City for consultation.
Princess Jiacheng endured the stomach discomfort, palpitations and dizziness, and patiently let the doctor take her pulse.
Not long after, the doctor suddenly became happy and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, madam. Congratulations, madam, you are pregnant."
Hearing this, the princess suddenly raised her eyes and looked over in disbelief: "What did you say?"
While she was stunned, the maidservant beside her was overjoyed and couldn't help but raise her voice: "Princess!! You are pregnant!!"
She still couldn't believe it, and it took her a while to react before she laughed out loud. She touched her abdomen for a moment and even forgot what she was going to say.
My mind is full of joy.
You know, she has been married to Chen Bochong for several years and has no children. A few days ago, she even allowed that dancer to enter the house and wanted the child in her belly.
Now, God has opened his eyes and made her pregnant?!
In addition to being surprised, she suddenly remembered what Ruan Mian had said.
Suddenly, he was slightly startled and looked at the maid: "Did you mix the ginseng powder into my Tremella soup these days?"
The maid nodded repeatedly, and the princess became even more convinced that this matter might be related to Ruan Mian!
Could it be that her predictions had come true? Was she truly a disciple of the renowned monk Huiji?!
"Ling'er, come here and take a letter to Jinsha Village for me."
Since she is pregnant, she must take good care of herself these days and not do anything rash.
So all her affairs were taken care of by her maid, and the doctor came to her home for several days in a row to prescribe medicine to preserve her pregnancy.
There was quite a scene in the mansion.
Chen Bozong was naturally happier. He stayed at her place for several days and didn't even look at Ruan Jiao.
Even if Ruan Jiao asked someone to secretly send him an obscene letter, it would fall on deaf ears and receive no reply.
She had a premonition that something was wrong, and what was more, her statement that she would leave after giving birth was just a temporary solution.
When she was pregnant, she had the intention to kill the princess.
Ruan Jiao knew clearly that if this person did not die, her support would be unstable.
Although she didn't know whose baby she was carrying, she now said it was the Governor's, so it was the Governor's!
How can I be willing to let the path I have found with great difficulty be easily destroyed by others?
So she specially chose a time, stopped the doctor, and spent a huge amount of money to make the doctor speak.
"My lady, the lady is pregnant and has asked me to come and help her with the pregnancy. This is a great joyous occasion for the family. Furthermore, the lady's pregnancy is in excellent condition, which should be a sign of childbirth. As long as she rests well, both mother and child will be safe."
"But... I see that this lady also looks pregnant, but her health is not good. I'm afraid she needs more rest and nourishing her body so that the baby can be safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiao's face changed drastically!
"Are you saying my pregnancy is unstable?"
The doctor said in panic, "I'm really sorry if I offended you, but I'm a doctor and I can't lie."
"Since you can't lie, then please take a look for me. Am I as likely to give birth to a child as she is?"
The doctor was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't resist Ruan Jiao's insistence and the temptation of money.
He took his pulse carefully, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. After a diagnosis, he finally spoke with gritted teeth.
"Young lady, your pregnancy is unstable. This is most likely a sign of...giving birth to a phoenix. Young lady, you must take good care of your pregnancy during this period, otherwise there will be a high risk of complications."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiao's face turned pale.
In fact, she had been worried for a long time. She had been displaced over the years and had devoted herself to serving others in order to gain power. She didn't even know who the biological father of her child was.
So the baby must have an unstable fetus in this situation, but now it turns out to be a daughter!
On the other hand, the princess was pregnant with a son and held a higher position!
The only reason I could stay here was because of the baby in her belly. Now that she's pregnant, where will I have a place to stay in the future?!
At this moment, she seemed to have already imagined the dangerous situation in the future!
Ruan Jiao couldn't just sit there and wait for death, so she came up with a plan in her mind.
It seems that she must speed up the process and take action in advance.
After paying the doctor a sum of hush money, he took advantage of the night and went to the side yard of the mansion. A man's voice came from across the wall.
"Are we going to do it now?"
Ruan Jiao lowered her gaze and made up her mind: "If not now, when?! Do you still want her to strike first and kill me?"
"Go find some reliable medicine."
…
The next day, the spy sent by Ruan Mian outside the Governor's Mansion came to the house with the news.
She curled her lips slightly, handed the prepared powder to the man, and instructed, "Be sure to tell him that this medicine is colorless. Just mix it with water, and the poison will take effect within seven days."
