Su Peisheng tried to keep a low profile in the corner, and he admired this Physician Li immensely. No one had ever dared to speak to their master like this and escape so easily.
"Ha, Imperial Physician Li!" Yinzhen glared at the door for a while, then laughed in exasperation.
Main courtyard
"Granny, we absolutely cannot let Lady Yin give birth!" The Fujin (principal wife) only had time to manage the affairs of the inner court after the fifteenth of the month, and it was only today that she learned Lady Yin was actually pregnant with twins! If Lady Yin were to give birth to a boy and a girl, where would Honghui (her husband) have a place?! (Yin Qingyi: Sorry, it's triplets? (???)? Elegant)
"Your Highness, but there's nothing we can do about Luoxue Pavilion right now." Granny Li hadn't expected that Consort Yin would be so lucky to be pregnant with twins. You know, there have never been twins in this dynasty before, and if they were a boy and a girl, it would be an even more auspicious sign! Consort Yin would definitely be promoted to a secondary consort. If Consort Yin gives birth to a boy and a girl and is then promoted to a secondary consort, that would be a great disadvantage for Your Highness.
"If you can't stretch it, then find a way! In short, we can't let Lady Yin give birth peacefully!" The teacup in the Fujin's hand shattered on the ground. Her expression was one of unprecedented ruthlessness.
"Yes." Granny Li nodded, but she was at a loss. If it were when Madam Yin was newly pregnant, it would have been easy for them to reach out, but now it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. With Granny Qi in charge, no one could do anything to Madam Yin without her permission.
Li Mama thought this to herself but didn't say it aloud. The Fujin (principal wife) was also aware of this, but she was too angry and worried at the moment to say it. After she calmed down, she knew that this was impossible. She could only pray in her heart that Madam Yin would die during childbirth, along with her unborn child.
Luoyingyuan
"This Fujin is really useless. She had so many opportunities to get rid of Yin's child, but she had to wait. I don't know what she was waiting for. Now look what she's done. She can only think about twins. Yin is really lucky." Li said to Li Zhongde and the others while eating dried fruit.
"Princess, shouldn't we do something?" Li Zhongde asked cautiously.
"What? You have a way to get rid of Yin's child?" Li's eyes lit up, and she looked at him expectantly. She wanted to do something, but she knew there was nothing she could do at the moment.
"This..." Li Zhongde wanted to slap himself. Serves you right for being so talkative! Wasn't it a good thing that the princess wasn't doing anything? Why did he have to go and say something!
"If you have a solution, hurry up! If this Lady Yin really gives birth to twins, I, this princess, will be inferior to her!" Lady Li urged.
"It's not that there's no way, but this method is a bit risky." What could Li Zhongde do? He knew perfectly well that if Consort Yin gave birth to the child safely, she might lose her chance at becoming a concubine. This was a position that Consort Yin had longed for for ten years, and it seemed that she was about to hand it over to someone else. The fact that Consort Yin could remain so calm was already beyond his expectations.
"What is it?" Upon hearing this, Madam Li moved closer to Li Zhongde.
Li Zhongde looked around and whispered in Li's ear.
"Is it really true?" Li couldn't suppress her excitement after hearing this.
“Of course.” Li Zhongde nodded.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you. If you succeed, I'll reward you handsomely!" Madam Li laughed heartily, her eyes showing even more satisfaction as she looked at Li Zhongde. She hadn't misjudged him after all; Li Zhongde had truly been a great help to her over the past ten years. It could be said that half the credit for her thriving life in this household over the past ten years went to Li Zhongde.
"Serving the Princess is what a servant should do." Li Zhongde smiled, but his heart was far from happy. If this matter was handled well, all would be well; if it wasn't, he feared...
As for Yin Qingyi, she had no idea that another wave of conspiracies and schemes was about to unfold. All she knew was that this pregnancy was really tormenting her. She was going to the toilet three or four times an hour! Her belly was growing bigger and bigger every day, like a balloon, growing very fast.
Also, she used to eat a lot, but recently she hasn't been able to eat much. She always feels full after only a few bites, but then she gets hungry again soon after.
"Granny, I feel so awful." Yin Qingyi leaned against Granny Qi's arm, utterly dejected.
"Princess, your third pregnancy will be more difficult. Just hold on for another month or so, and everything will be fine after the baby is born." Granny Naqi looked at Yin Qingyi with a pained expression. In just a few days, the princess's complexion had deteriorated again, and the good complexion she had cultivated before was gone.
Yinzhen now visits Yin Qingyi every day. Seeing her in such distress, Yinzhen sometimes has absurd thoughts. In truth, he would still pamper Yin Qingyi even if she didn't have children. In reality, he didn't need children that much. If the price of having children was losing Yin Qingyi, then he might not really want children. But he quickly suppressed these thoughts.
Yin Hengyi really did come to examine Yin Qingyi every seven days. Every time he came, he was terrified by Yin Qingyi's belly, which was growing as big as a balloon. Therefore, he felt even more dissatisfied with Yinzhen. Naturally, he spoke to Yinzhen in a more sarcastic and strange way, which made Yinzhen so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
But who could blame him when this Imperial Physician Li's medical skills were truly excellent? Every time he came to treat Lady Yin, she would feel better for several days. Yinzhen could only suppress his anger, thinking that he would get back at her after she gave birth.
Days passed by, and early spring had passed into early summer. The weather at the end of April was still a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings.
"Granny, I really can't walk anymore, let's rest for a while." Yin Qingyi looked at Granny Qi, her face covered in sweat.
To be honest, every time she looks at her stomach, she has this illusion that it's about to burst! Now, when she looks down, she can't even see other people's feet, let alone her own.
"Granny, why don't we rest for a while?" Yinzhen was supporting Yin Qingyi from the side, his forehead also covered in sweat, he was also exhausted, Yin Qingyi was practically leaning her entire weight on him. They were walking slowly, and because he was tall, he had to bend over to keep up with Yin Qingyi, which naturally made him even more tired.
"Well, let's rest for a while at the pavilion ahead, and then go back." Granny Naqi looked at the two of them. She felt sorry for them both, so she naturally had no reason to refuse. In any case, they had already walked around enough today, and any more would probably be too much for the princess to handle.
When they arrived at the pavilion, everything had already been arranged, with thick blankets on the seats, just in case Yin Qingyi was uncomfortable.
"Is there anything that's bothering you?" Yinzhen asked worriedly as soon as he sat down. Looking at Yin Qingyi's belly, he really couldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it grow with his own eyes. Such a small person could be carrying such a big belly. It's no exaggeration to say that if he didn't support her, he was afraid that Yin Qingyi would fall forward because of her belly.
