"My lady! I didn't!"
Jing'er looked pleading, tears already streaming down her face.
Suddenly, a look of pain appeared on his face, and he clutched his stomach and bent over.
"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much! Mistress..."
He had already clutched his stomach and slowly sat down on the ground, still groaning in pain.
"Jing'er!"
Seeing him like this, Zhao Xin was startled. Without thinking of anything else, she rushed over and pulled him into her arms.
Seeing Jing'er like this, Ji Yuan and Ji Qingyu were also startled. After all, they were both men, and it would be a big deal if the baby in her womb was really hurt.
Jing'er rested her head on Zhao Xin's chest, her face still showing a pained expression.
He sobbed softly, looking up at Zhao Xin. "My lady, are we going to lose our child? I'm scared. Could you please take me to the clinic?"
Zhao Xin was completely focused on Jing'er's belly at this point. When she heard that the baby was going to be lost, she panicked and immediately agreed.
"Alright, alright! Jing'er, don't be afraid, your wife will take you to the clinic right away!"
Just as she was about to pick him up, Qin Anmin suddenly spoke up.
"Lord Luo, I remember that there is always a physician waiting in the court for joint trials. This young man looks really frightening. Please summon the physician in quickly!"
"I saw it when I came in. There was a person carrying a big box waiting outside. That must be the physician!"
Qin Ange then added a sentence.
Luo Pinzheng felt a surge of anger; she was just about to say that the prefectural physician had taken the day off.
Now that the matter had been made public, she had no choice but to anxiously bring Ren Zhao in.
Zhao Xin's face lit up with joy, but Jing'er's expression suddenly changed.
"Doctor, please take a look at him!"
Ignoring Jing'er's attempts to pull him, Zhao Xin put him on the ground and pulled the old woman who was slowly walking in to Jing'er's side.
"Huff~ Huff~ Don't pull me, you're going to pull this old woman to pieces!"
The physician, still breathless from being pulled by Zhao Xin, glared at her angrily before turning his gaze back to Jing'er on the ground.
"Please extend your hand, sir, so I can take your pulse."
Jing'er looked at the doctor who suddenly appeared in front of her, and her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched involuntarily.
No! He can't let her see it, or everything will be over!
He suddenly struggled to back away, shaking his head in resistance.
"No, don't come any closer!"
"My lady! I don't want her to touch me! How can Jing'er be touched by any woman other than you!"
"If she really touches my wrist today, even if the baby is okay, Jing'er doesn't want to live anymore, sob sob sob..."
Jing'er was visibly agitated, and tears streamed down her face as if they were flowing freely.
His face was resolute, as if he would commit suicide immediately if he were touched.
Seeing his state, Zhao Xin grew even more anxious. If he didn't want to live anymore, what would happen to her children?
"Lord Luo, are there any male doctors in the government office?"
She turned to look at Luo Pinzheng.
“No! The government office has always only hired female doctors.” Luo Pinzheng shook his head.
"My lady! I don't want her to see me. Please take me to a clinic outside to find a male doctor, okay, my lady!"
Jing'er cried and reached out to hug Zhao Xin's leg.
"this……"
Zhao Xin was extremely anxious, but there was nothing she could do about it.
The old woman frowned upon hearing this, making her already wrinkled face look even more wrinkled.
Her voice was weathered and sounded somewhat hoarse.
“Young man, I have been practicing medicine for many years. As someone who works in the government office, my medical skills are naturally quite good. I will place a silk handkerchief on your wrist later, so it won’t touch your skin.”
"What does Your Majesty think? Do you want to see it again?"
She turned to ask Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin's eyes lit up when he heard that he wouldn't touch Jing'er's skin, and he nodded hurriedly.
"I want to see it! I want to see it! Thank you for your help!"
After saying that, Zhao Xin squatted down and pulled Jing'er onto his lap.
"Jing'er, did you hear that? The doctor is highly skilled; he won't hurt you. Take your hand out now!"
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Jing'er's hand.
"My mistress... I don't want to..."
"obedient!"
Jing'er was still struggling, but his strength was no match for Zhao Xin's, and his hand was directly lifted in front of the physician.
The old woman opened her large trunk and took out a black handkerchief, which she then placed on Jing'er's still slightly trembling wrist.
Jing'er's tears flowed even more fiercely, but this time he wasn't faking it; he was genuinely frightened.
The old woman placed two fingers on it, remained silent for a long time, and then frowned.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Xin's heart jumped into his throat.
"Doctor, is there any chance of saving the baby?" she asked anxiously.
The old woman slowly withdrew her fingers, neatly folded the handkerchief, and put it back into the box.
After everything was tidied up, she spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty is overthinking it. This young man is not pregnant at all, so there is no question of whether the pregnancy can be saved!"
What did you say?
Zhao Xin looked dazed and asked again, uncertainly.
"My lady, don't listen to her nonsense. She must have made a mistake because of the handkerchief covering her face!"
Jing'er offered a flustered explanation, but a sense of relief rose within her.
"Please take Jing'er to the clinic to find the male doctor from that day! It will be too late if we wait any longer!"
He looked at Zhao Xin with a pleading expression.
But the old woman's face grew even more displeased upon hearing his words.
She snorted coldly and looked down at Jing'er.
"Young master, you must be from out of town? You should know that in Tianhe County, when it comes to medical skills, if I dare to rank second, no one dares to rank first."
"If I've made a mistake in my diagnosis, then that male doctor you mentioned could probably take my place and work in the government office!"
Listening to their explanations, Zhao Xin ignored Jing'er's struggles and raised his hand again.
"Doctor, would you please go and examine me again after you've removed that handkerchief?"
Even though the old woman was unwilling, she still gave Luo Pin face and had him examined again because he was present.
"The result is the same as before. Even if you have someone examine you a hundred more times, it will be the same!"
The old woman shook her hand, bowed to Luo Pinzheng, and went out carrying her large trunk.
Zhao Xin was still standing there, stunned, while Jing'er had completely lost his strength. He slumped to the ground, his eyes lifeless.
She had planned to use the excuse of a fake pregnancy to get Zhao Xin to take her out, but the journey was long and it would take at least a month or two to get back.
This way, he could spend more time alone with Zhao Xin, and then find opportunities to have sex with her more often, hoping to get her pregnant.
Even if she doesn't get pregnant in the end, he can fake a miscarriage to make her feel guilty and then pamper her more.
No matter how you look at it, he's not losing out.
But why did I run into Ji Yuan here?!
