Chapter 31 Your Highness, are you feeling better?
"Well...it doesn't look like this is the first time for the two of them, but I believe the Crown Princess must have her own reasons."
"Hey? Your Highness, are you...are you okay?"
"Your Highness, why do you look so grim? Ah! Breathe quickly, yes, breathe~ breathe~ breathe~ breathe~ breathe~"
"Your Highness, are you feeling better?"
Bu Ruo kept calling him "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" on the left and "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" on the right, which made Xiao Jingrui feel overwhelmed.
“Get out of the way!”
Xiao Jingrui wanted to push Bu Ruo away from the way, but before he could reach out, he saw Bu Ruo move aside: "Your Highness, please come this way. The Crown Princess is in the first guest room in front. There are many people in there~"
Xiao Jingrui almost suffocated again. He glared at Bu Ruo and walked forward, his steps still a little flustered.
When the other ladies from noble families who were watching the excitement in the courtyard saw the prince coming, they all fell silent and made way for him.
Xiao Jingrui paused at the door and took a deep breath before walking into the room. Even though he was mentally prepared, the blood in his body still rushed to his head when he saw the scene inside the room.
"Bitch! How dare you! He's your brother, your own brother."
Ji Yao was slapped to the ground and looked at the furious man in front of her, kneeling down and hugging Xiao Jingrui's thighs tightly.
"Your Highness, I...I don't know what's going on. Someone must have framed me."
"And... I didn't commit incest. Ji Pei... he's not my biological brother. I was adopted by the Ji family back then. I have no blood relationship with Ji Pei."
"So... it's not incest, really not. This is really my first time."
Bu Ruo stood outside the door and poked her head in: "Crown Princess, what you said means that even if he is not your biological brother, you can have an affair with him?"
"No matter what your relationship with General Ji is, His Royal Highness has already had a green eye on his head."
Suddenly, Bu Ruo narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered something important, and even pinched his fingers.
"Ah, congratulations to the Crown Princess, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xiao Jingrui felt a headache just hearing Bu Ruo's voice. He turned around and shouted, "Congratulations for what? Could it be that County Master Yun'an wants to congratulate my Crown Prince's Consort and someone else... County Master Yun'an, please don't go too far."
"Let's end today's flower viewing banquet here. I have some family matters to attend to, so I won't keep you here any longer."
But who is Bu Ruo? She was so shameless: "No, Your Highness, you have a happy event, a big happy event, you are going to be a father."
"I heard that the Crown Princess has been married into the Crown Prince's Mansion for three years and there's no sign of pregnancy. Now, Crown Prince, you're going to have a first son."
That’s right, Bu Ruo didn’t look carefully at that time, and only just now found out that Ji Yao was pregnant. This is really interesting.
Ji Yao was shocked when she heard Bu Ruo's words. She felt happy and scared at the same time, and her hands unconsciously fell on her lower abdomen.
Is it really? She had actually given up hope all these years, but now someone actually told her that she was pregnant, but this child...
Bu Ruo simply enjoyed the fun, and seeing the two of them stunned, she continued, "This county lady knows a little bit about physiognomy, and the Crown Princess's children's palace does seem to be slightly glowing."
"If the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess don't believe me, just ask the court physician to take your pulse and you'll know for sure."
Xiao Jingrui recovered and looked at Ji Yao, who was lying on the ground in dishevel. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fang Nian, call the palace doctor over to me."
Fang Nian was Xiao Jingrui's confidant. After taking a deep look at the Crown Princess, he immediately went to ask for the palace doctor.
Just one glance made Ji Yao feel cold all over.
Fang Nian quickly dragged the court physician over, but the court physician was old and was panting from running.
"Greetings... ... to His Majesty the Crown Prince..."
"No need to be so polite. Come and take the Crown Princess's pulse to see if she is pregnant."
After saying that, she gave Bu Ruo a look that said, "If you talk nonsense, I'll make you pay."
The court doctor calmed down the patient and was able to see the situation inside the house clearly. He was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.
Is this something a court doctor like him can treat? If he leaves this room, will he still be able to survive?
Ji Yao didn't dare to stand up without Xiao Jingrui's words, so she could only kneel on the ground and hand over her wrist.
The court doctor knelt down tremblingly, placed his fingers on the patient's pulse with trembling hands, and after a long time, he suddenly showed a hint of joy.
He was the imperial physician in the palace before he came to the Prince's Mansion to become the court physician. Later, after he left the palace, he came to the Prince's Mansion to become the court physician. The Crown Princess had been married to the Prince's Mansion for three years, so he naturally knew how much the two wanted a child.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations to the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is indeed pregnant, and it has been two months."
Bu Ruo curled her lips and whispered to Bi'er, "Well, was I right? You were glaring at me just now."
"No, I can't let this happen. I have to glare back!"
Then... the furious Xiao Jingrui received a series of eye rolls from someone.
Xiao Jingrui's face turned frighteningly dark, and he kicked Ji Yao on the shoulder.
"Bitch! Tell me! Is the bastard in your belly Ji Pei's? And you dare to say that today is your first time with him?!"
"You've been pregnant for two months, but I was out on business for the entire month and didn't touch you at all! Or do you have other lovers besides Ji Pei? Ji Yao, Ji Yao, you're really great."
Ji Yao lay on the ground with a pale face, mumbling: "Impossible, how is this possible..."
"No! That's not the case, Buruo! Buruo must have colluded with the court doctor to frame me. I... I have a cold body, how could I be pregnant?"
At this time, a woman in pink walked out from the crowd outside and glared at Bu Ruo.
Bu Ruo: ...
Am I so hated now?
"Your Highness, I greet the Crown Prince. I am Tang Shuangyu, the granddaughter of the head of the Imperial Hospital, Tang Yuanchu. I have been learning the art of medicine from my grandfather since I was young. Why don't you let me take the Crown Princess's pulse again?"
"After all... Your Highness, you are by the Crown Princess's side every day and you didn't know she was pregnant. How could it be possible that Princess Yun'an could tell at a glance? Perhaps the Crown Princess was really framed."
Bu Ruo saw that Xiao Jingrui was about to glare at her again, so she glared back first.
Xiao Jingrui: ...
"Alright, go show it to the Crown Princess."
Tang Shuangyu walked over and squatted on the ground: "Crown Princess, may I let this servant take a look at you?"
Although Ji Yao was certain in her heart, she still hoped to hear a different result from the other party, but things often went against one's wishes.
At first, Tang Shuangyu really didn't believe that Bu Ruo could tell that the Crown Princess was pregnant at a glance. After all, there were only two people in the three countries who could read faces, and both of them were in the Great Zhou.
One is Master Fuyun, a rare and eminent monk who travels around Baotong Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and the other is Jin Wuyou, the master of Wuming Mountain.
If there is anyone else who can claim to be able to read faces besides these two...then the only ones left are the fortune tellers who set up stalls on the street.
