Chapter 86 She is pregnant
The palace was not far away, and they arrived there after a while. Xie Chengyan took her to the east side room, which was usually reserved for guests. It was adjacent to the main room, but because it was small and blocked by the wing rooms, few servants passed by.
As soon as Ye Lanzhou entered the room, he saw Zhang Qiyue inside. However, he was clearly not the sick person Xie Chengyan had described. He looked very alive. In contrast, the woman in the room was in much worse shape. Her face was pale and her lips were so pale they were turning blue.
Seeing someone else coming into the room, the woman inside squinted her eyes and looked up, only to see a man and a woman walking in. The man was wearing a black robe and the woman was wearing a dark blue double-breasted dress. One was tall and the other was short, and they were slowly walking towards her.
Yan Su saw clearly that the man who came in was Xie Chengyan, and her shoulders shook unconsciously.
Ye Lanzhou noticed this and frowned slightly. She felt something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. This woman seemed very afraid of Xie Chengyan. Thinking about this, Ye Lanzhou looked up at Xie Chengyan. He didn't show any expression. He just said, "Help her take a look. She used to be in good health. Can you help me see if she's been injured recently?"
Zhang Qiyue lit a lamp, and a little light shone on the woman's body. The parts not covered by clothes were covered with wounds, which looked like they were caused by different sharp weapons. The wounds on her hands were the most horrifying. It seemed that her nails were pulled out alive. At this moment, black blood was congealed on them, and the fingertips were bloody and blurred.
Ye Lanzhou recognized that the woman was the one who bumped into her on the street yesterday. At that time, she suspected that the person Zhang Qiyue was chasing was her, but she didn't expect it to be true.
She didn't ask who the woman was, nor did she care. Her injuries were more important. She asked, "Did you torture her?"
Xie Chengyan nodded without hesitation and did not deny it.
Ye Lanzhou said nothing more, and reached out to the man's wrist, but Yan Su pulled her wrist back in fear, seeming to be resisting. Ye Lanzhou was stunned for a moment. Was she so scared?
Before she could say anything, she heard Xie Chengyan make a "tsk" sound as if he was dissatisfied.
Zhang Qiyue noticed something was wrong and walked over from a distance. Seeing the two people's posture, it was clear that they were going to force her again. Seeing this, Ye Lanzhou hurriedly reached out to stop them and signaled that it was okay.
He turned around and grabbed the woman's wrist. At first she resisted, but because she was injured, she was not as strong as Ye Lanzhou. After struggling for a while, she let go.
Ye Lanzhou placed his fingers on her pulse, pressing back and forth, and finally pausing for a moment. The pulse...
"She's pregnant."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room could no longer conceal their shock, except Yan Su, who already knew the truth.
Ye Lanzhou's hand hadn't left Yan Su's wrist yet, and he continued, "It's been about two months, and the fetus is unstable."
She let go of Yan Su's wrist and turned to touch the wrist of her other hand. Because she didn't notice the injury on her forearm, she rubbed one of her wounds when she lifted her sleeve, causing her to groan in pain.
Ye Lanzhou glanced at Yan Su sheepishly at first, then turned to look at Xie Chengyan: "You tortured her and hurt her body. If it weren't for her good health, she would have died long ago."
Xie Chengyan, however, said with a righteous look, "I didn't know she was pregnant."
He looked indifferent, and Ye Lanzhou didn't know what to say. Zhang Qiyue, who was standing beside him, spoke up: "Oh my god, she's pregnant? Whose is it——"
