"The doctors in the Imperial Hospital have all been carefully selected and are all experts in medicine. How could they make a mistake?" Lingyun whispered. As she thought about it, she broke out in a cold sweat. "Could it be that Concubine Wan wasn't pregnant at all?"
Everyone gasped.
Peirong trembled and said, "No way. Faking a pregnancy is a capital crime. Moreover, even if Wanpin really faked the pregnancy to win favor, why did she drink the pregnancy-maintaining medicine? This doesn't make sense."
"It's not borrowing seeds."
Baozhan's unintentional words plunged the entire hall into deathly silence.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Fu Qianyu also felt that it was unlikely. Even if Concubine Wan was bold, she would not dare to do such a thing as confusing the royal bloodline.
"Just keep an eye on it for now, and don't alert the enemy."

Fu Qianyu simply sat up and was silent for a long while before she spoke: "Tell me, is Wanpin's pregnancy real or fake? If it's fake, it will definitely be exposed when she gives birth. Then where will the child come from?"
Ling Yun thought for a moment and said seriously, "I think if Concubine Wan is faking her pregnancy, she might use the fake pregnancy to frame others if she can't wait until the birth. If she can survive until the birth, she will definitely have a foolproof plan. Now that no other concubines are pregnant, she can only find a child from outside the palace."
Fu Qianyu's eyes glared. After a moment's thought, she said in a deep voice, "Early tomorrow morning, have Haining leave the palace to find out if there's anything unusual happening in the Ming family recently. Remember not to let any news leak out."
"I've made note of this."
