Yun Yuan had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, the Taoist pointed at her and said with certainty, "It's her, the eldest prince's consort, Yun Yuan."
"How dare you!" Wen Renyan was furious. "How can you casually associate with the royal family? What is your purpose in saying this?"
Yun Yuan knelt down and said, "Father, your daughter-in-law has never met this Taoist priest and has no idea why he would say that."
"It's none of your business. The ground is cold. Get up."
The emperor glanced at Yun Yuan and then looked away, returning his gaze to Dan Yangzi. "If you have anything else to say, please tell me now. I'm afraid you won't have the chance to tell me later."
"Your Majesty, the changes are good, not bad. As long as the country is handed over to wise and capable people, the strength of Dachen will be greatly enhanced."
The emperor remained unmoved. "You've changed your words several times. I don't believe a single word you said. Come here..."
Seeing that the emperor was determined to kill him, Dan Yangzi quickly spoke up: "The eldest prince's wife is more than half a month pregnant. In a few days, the pregnancy pulse will be diagnosed. Your Majesty, I did not lie."
Wenren Yan and the emperor were both stunned and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Yun Yuan's belly.
With a plump chest, a slender waist and a flat belly, it is difficult to tell whether she is pregnant or not.
Yun Yuan subconsciously placed her slender white hand on her belly. This Taoist priest was quite something.
"Are you telling the truth?" the emperor hesitated. "Come, summon the imperial physician."
A hint of hope appeared in Wen Renyan's eyes. He said to Yun Yuan, who looked confused and terrified, "Don't be nervous. Just let the imperial physician check your pulse. If you're pregnant, that's the best. If not, that's fine too."
"If you don't get pregnant, kill the old Taoist priest." The emperor never forgot his original intention.
Danyangzi couldn't help but twitch his lips. How on earth had he offended the emperor? He had always been worshipped everywhere, but the emperor kept talking about killing him. It was obvious that he was very anxious.
The imperial physician came over quickly, and with a serious expression, he stretched out three fingers and placed them on Yun Yuan's wrist, carefully taking her pulse.
Wenren Yan stood aside, clenching his fists tightly, his face full of tension.
After a long while, the imperial physician slowly withdrew his hand.
"It feels somewhat like a slippery pulse, but it's also very weak and intermittent. Perhaps it's because the baby is still young, which is why it's so difficult to judge. In my opinion, we need to wait a few days until the pulse stabilizes before we can make an accurate diagnosis."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately lost his composure. Did the Taoist really come true?
He was filled with anticipation and joy, but he didn't want to let Dan Yangzi off easily, so he said sternly, "Come here, lock this old Taoist in the dungeon and release him after you're sure Yun is pregnant."
Danyangzi: “…”
Wen Renyan's hands trembled slightly. He was afraid that he would be too happy for nothing and that he would put too much pressure on Yun Yuan.
He tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and anxiety, and said softly to Yun Yuan, "Don't worry about anything, just wait for a few days. No matter what the result is, I will be with you."
The weather was cold and the roads were slippery. In order to reduce the possibility of accidents, the emperor let the two live in the palace, which was the bedroom where Wen Renyan lived in his childhood. He asked the imperial physician to take Yun Yuan's pulse every day.
Finally one day, the imperial physician said with absolute certainty:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Princess is pregnant!"
The emperor stood up, his face filled with joy: "Rewards, rewards for all, ha ha ha ha ha, my great emperor has a successor, the Yun family is indeed the benefactor of the great emperor!"
The most excited person was Wenren Yan. Wenren Ji, like him, drank the sterile medicine and worked diligently for five or six years without success to get a woman pregnant. Unexpectedly, Yun Yuan got pregnant not long after getting married.
The Queen was also very happy. She had been fighting with the Imperial Noble Consort all her life. Apart from the position of Queen, she finally won over the Imperial Noble Consort in other aspects.
She was full of vigor and confidence when the concubines came to pay their respects to her the next day.
Imperial Noble Consort: "Your Majesty loves me so much that he specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send me a fox scarf..."
The queen said smugly, "How did you know my daughter-in-law is pregnant?"
The Imperial Noble Consort forced a smile: "...Your Majesty has rewarded me with a new headgear..."
The queen smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law is pregnant."
No, she is sick, right?
The imperial concubine's beautiful face twisted: "You..."
Queen: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant!"
The imperial concubine walked away with a flick of her sleeves, feeling frustrated and having no place to vent, so she asked someone to call Wenren Ji into the palace.
"Wenren Yan got Yun pregnant, but what about you? Why haven't you done anything?"
Wen Renji lost an arm and stayed in the mansion all day. Apart from making a baby with Yun Shu, he sent people to search everywhere for the method of making Yin Yang Hesheng Pills. He had not paid attention to the news from the palace for a long time.
He was stunned when he heard this and said with difficulty: "Is Yun Yuan really pregnant?"
"Is this really true?" The Imperial Noble Consort was furious. "Didn't you see how proud the Queen was this morning? Isn't it just that your daughter-in-law is pregnant? We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, so why are you so worried about it being a false alarm?"
Wen Renji's mind was full of the news that Yun Yuan was pregnant. Why, without the Yin-Yang Hesheng Pill, Yun Yuan could still get pregnant in this life? Is this her fate?
The Imperial Concubine had no idea what he was thinking, so she pressed on, "I heard you've been favoring that bitch Yun Shu for the past two months. How's it going? Any news?"
Wen Renji shook his head. Not only him, but even Yunshu was desperate. Now he had reduced the number of times he went to Yunshu's courtyard.
Defective products are just defective products after all and cannot bring them children.
The Imperial Concubine was silent for a long time. "Your symptoms are similar to Wenren Yan's. If he can make a woman pregnant, you can definitely do it too. Why don't you go to his house and ask if he has any secrets? Or if he has hired any doctors or used any secret medicines?"
Wen Renji agreed to ask the Imperial Noble Consort under her expectation. Wen Renyan was not surprised by his arrival at all and said truthfully: "It was a normal pregnancy, without any other means."
Wen Renji was skeptical and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "If you find Yun Yuan with wounds or her face is abnormally pale, you must pay close attention. She might be using her blood to feed the Gu."
Wen Renyan's expression was cold: "What do you want to say?"
Wen Renji: "There is a kind of Gu that can be made into an elixir that can prolong one's lineage, but it requires the blood of a woman to feed it. Giving birth to a child will shorten one's lifespan by twenty years. If Yun Yuan wants to use it, you must stop her."
"People's hearts are fickle, and only your own life is the most precious."
Wen Renyan's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he could see through his heart. After a long time, he stood up and walked towards the main courtyard.
The weather was cold, Yun Yuan was pregnant and sleepy, so she stayed in the room and rarely went out.
Wen Renyan carefully undressed her, not leaving out any inch of her skin. Not seeing any wounds, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Yuan woke up in a daze, hooked her hands around his neck, and bit his sexy Adam's apple.
Wen Renyan's voice was hoarse but gentle: "You are pregnant, you can't do that."
Yun Yuan muttered, let him go obediently, found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
Wenren Yan gathered the quilt for her, walked out of the door, and was blown by the cold wind. The beauty in his heart slowly dissipated. When he returned, he found Wenren Ji still sitting there waiting for him.
"Let's talk."
