This pulse...is it a happy pulse?
After confirming again and again, Ning Yuxi sighed. It was indeed a pregnancy pulse, and it had been almost a month.
It has been two months since she entered the palace after being selected in September. Including the time when she intercepted Concubine Qin, she has only served in the emperor's bed three times, and she is pregnant.
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Now was not a good time to have a baby. She was just a regular in her position, and the emperor didn't treat her any special way.
But now that she is pregnant, she will definitely give birth to the child safely.
This matter cannot be publicized for the time being. We have to find a suitable time to tell it.
However, because I took aphrodisiac this morning, the fetus is a little unstable and I need to take some pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
She can prescribe the pregnancy-maintaining medicine herself, but if she goes to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine, she will definitely be exposed.
Yes, she suddenly thought of the original owner's younger brother Ning Chen. The original owner's father was a fifth-rank military officer. The couple loved each other very much, and they only had two children, the original owner and Ning Chen.
The original owner and Ning Chen were twins, a boy and a girl. Ning Chen worked as a guard in the palace, so he could contact him.
In my memory, the original owner's family had a good relationship.
If I can contact Ning Chen, I can ask him to get the medicine outside the palace.
After thinking of a plan, Ning Yuxi couldn't hold her eyelids open anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up, it was already mid-afternoon. Ning Yuxi called Ruyi and told her to go out with Zhu'er to find Ning Chen at the guardhouse when she went to get dinner.
As she spoke, Ning Yuxi asked Ruyi to bring paper and pen to write the prescription. Fortunately, the characters of this era were similar to the traditional Chinese characters of ancient times, and it was not difficult for her to write with the original owner's memory.
Ning Yuxi wrote down a prescription for pregnancy maintenance and some medicinal herbs that could be used. She also wrote a letter home, asking about her parents' health and telling them about her current situation.
Since I'm using someone else's daughter's body, I should care about the original owner's family, not to mention bothering them to get medicine.
During dinner, Ruyi and Zhuer went out together.
There would be no one guarding the door during ordinary house arrest, but the palace servants under house arrest could not go out at will, but they could still go out to deliver meals.
After leaving Shuqing Palace, Ruyi and Zhuer separated. Ruyi was nervous. It was the first time that her master had assigned her a task, and she had to complete it smoothly.
She entered the palace very early and after a few years there, she basically knew all the roads.
Taking the less-traveled road, she walked to the guardhouse. There were two young guards guarding the door. Ruyi smiled and said to one of them, "Guard brother, I'm looking for Captain Ning Chenning. Is he here?"
Ning Chen is now the captain of a guard team.
"Why are you looking for him? It's a serious crime for guards and palace maids to have private dealings with each other." The guard was impartial.
Ruyi waved her hands and said, "Brother Guard, you misunderstood. My mistress is Captain Ning's sister. She misses her family so much that she asked me to deliver a letter. Please help me call Captain Ning."
"Okay, you wait." When the guard heard that it was just a letter delivered home, he responded and turned to go in to look for someone.
After a while, a tall man came out. He looked between a teenager and a young man.
He has both the naiveté of a teenager and the steadiness of a young man, and the combination of the two complements each other perfectly.
The man's face was 60% similar to Ning Yuxi's, but he didn't look feminine at all. He looked extremely handsome and it was hard to tell whether he was male or female.
One can't take one's eyes away from him, and even his inconspicuous dark red guard uniform can't hide his overall temperament.
Ruyi only took a glance and didn't dare to look again. The master's brother is also the master, and it is not someone of her status who can look at him casually.
The young man got straight to the point: "Are you the maidservant beside my sister?"
Ruyi bowed and said, "Yes, I am Ruyi, the maidservant beside Master Ning. I came here today because Master asked me to deliver a letter from home to you."
As she spoke, Ruyi handed the letter and prescription in her sleeve to Ning Chen.
"How is my sister?" Ning Chen asked again after receiving the letter.
News spread quickly in the palace. He also heard what happened to his sister in the morning, but because of his status, he could not move around freely.
"Captain Ning, don't worry, the master is fine. The master's words are all written in the letter. Captain Ning will know it at a glance."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now. If you have any problems next time, just come to me."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Ruyi knelt down and bowed, then turned around and went back. She couldn't delay too long.
It just so happened that it was time for Ning Chen to resign. He left the palace and rode back to the Ning Mansion. Ning's father had just left the yamen and arrived at the door.
The father and son walked in together, and Ning Chen told them what happened in the palace this morning.
Father Ning asked anxiously, "How is your sister?"
Ning Chen comforted him: "Don't worry, father, my sister is fine, she was just grounded for a month."
Father Ning was relieved a little and sighed, "Alas, your sister is also stupid. Ever since she accidentally met the emperor last year, she has been determined to enter the palace. Now that she is in the palace, her father can't help her. Chen'er, you must always keep an eye on your sister in the palace."
Ning Chen quickly agreed, then took out the letter from his pocket: "Father, this is the letter my sister sent me."
Father Ning hurriedly opened it and saw that his daughter said she was pregnant. He was immediately excited: "Your sister said she is pregnant. Great, great, I am going to be a grandfather, hahahaha."
Just as they reached the main courtyard gate, Ning's mother, Shen, heard her husband's laughter and came out, saying angrily, "What good news has happened, Master? Why are you so happy?"
"It's Xier. Xier wrote home saying that she is pregnant. How can I not be happy when I am going to be a grandfather?" Ning's father said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen was also surprised: "Really? This is great. A woman can only be considered established after getting married or having children, especially women in the palace."
