He suddenly stopped halfway through his speech, solemnly took the pulse again, and after a moment said, "It is indeed a slippery pulse, more than a month ago."
Now he finally understood why Xue Shen had specifically invited him. He smiled and cupped his hands in congratulations, then asked, "Does Your Highness not intend to announce this news for the time being?"
Xue Shen nodded: "I will be staying at Chuyun Temple for a while in two days. After that, I will probably become the target of public criticism when I return to the capital. I do not want to make a fuss before the pregnancy is stable."
Master Huodong, knowing his situation, nodded and said, "Chuyun Temple is clean, so Your Highness can stay a little longer. I will prescribe some medicine to nourish the fetus for Your Highness to drink first. After we go to Chuyun Temple, I will take your pulse again and see if it needs to be adjusted."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "The princess is somewhat weak and needs to recuperate. She should not engage in sexual intercourse until three months from now."
Xue Shen thanked him and had a guard accompany him to get the prescription and prepare the medicine.
After everyone left, he sat down by the bed, his eyes filled with joy as he looked at Shen Youying: "Zhaozhao, we have a child."
Shen Youying herself was somewhat dazed. It turned out that the imperial physician who had examined her pulse had said that she had been exposed to cold in her childhood and that she needed to take good care of herself if she wanted to conceive.

Xue Shen carefully placed his palm on the back of her hand, gently guiding her hand to stroke her stomach, and frowned with worry, saying, "I was fooling around all night last night, I don't know if it has any effect."
He looked worried and said, "You rest first and don't move around. I'll go ask."
Upon hearing this, Shen Youying lost face and hurriedly grabbed his hand: "How should I ask this..." Her face turned as red as blood: "Since the real person didn't say there was a problem, it should have no impact."
The thought of Xue Shen seriously discussing with Huodong Zhenren whether last night's sexual encounter would affect the child made her think she might as well find a hole to crawl into.
If he really asked, how would she face Master Huodong in the future?!
