Chapter 229 I have a child!
Shen Wantang was not surprised by her doubts: "Really, I'm sure. If the princess doesn't believe me, the prince has already invited the imperial physician for you. You can have the imperial physician examine you again."
Xiao Qingxi turned to look at Granny Kang: "Granny, is this real? Am I dreaming? I'm pregnant?"
Kang Mama's eyes instantly reddened; no one knew better than her how much the princess longed to conceive.
She grasped Xiao Qingxi's hand: "Princess, the Crown Princess wouldn't lie to you. Didn't the Princess Consort tell you about her medical skills in her letter? She's even more skilled than the imperial physicians!"
"No, I don't believe her! Quickly, summon the imperial physician! I want the imperial physician to examine me!"
"You fainted just now, which startled the young master and son-in-law. The young master has already sent someone to fetch you."
Xiao Qingxi then noticed that Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou were no longer in the room: "Where are they?"
"They were all sent outside by the Crown Princess to wait."
"So, they still don't know?"
"Yes, I don't know."
Xiao Qingxi looked at Shen Wantang in surprise: "How do you know I don't want them to know?"
Shen Wantang: "I guessed."
"Who asked you to guess my thoughts? You're just being presumptuous!"
"Then I'll go out now and tell them you're pregnant."
"Wait! Did I tell you to speak?"
"I can't say it, and I can't not say it either. What exactly does the princess want me to do?"
"I want you to leave our Prince Ning's residence."
“No, I’m already married into this family. I’ll be a member of the Prince’s household in life and in death. This is my home, and I won’t go anywhere else.”
Xiao Qingxi glared at her resentfully: "Why are you so annoying?!"
Shen Wantang: "Likewise."
"you!"
Xiao Qingxi was speechless: "I'm pregnant now. If you make me so angry that I miscarry, can you take responsibility?"
Shen Wantang looked at her calmly: "I've already said it, the princess's pregnancy is very stable. Your fainting just now wasn't because you're pregnant, but purely due to the stagnation of qi and depression and emotional imbalance that have been going on for many days."
"Moreover, the princess traveled a long and bumpy way from the far northwest back to the capital, yet the fetus remained very stable, showing no signs of miscarriage. This demonstrates that the princess has an excellent constitution and the fetus is also well-nourished."
“In that case, it’s alright if I have a few words with the princess. After all, the princess has been arguing with me quite a bit these past two days.”
Hearing her speak so calmly and confidently, and with such certainty, Xiao Qingxi no longer cared about fighting with Shen Wantang.
She couldn't help but stroke her belly, her eyes shining as she looked at Granny Kang: "Granny, I'm pregnant!"
This time, she used a tone of certainty.
Because she knew that Shen Wantang would never dare to lie to her about such a thing, and she had already heard her mother talk about Shen Wantang's medical skills. In her mother's description, Shen Wantang was almost a miracle doctor.
Granny Kang couldn't help but wipe away her tears: "Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations! Heaven has blessed you, Princess, you are going to be a mother!"
Shen Wantang watched the two of them getting so excited, but she didn't feel much emotion herself.
Because, in her previous life, Xiao Qingxi did not have any children.
However, Shen Wantang did not know why the child was lost.
She cursed Shen Mingxuan in her heart. What a useless person! Shen Mingxuan in her previous life didn't even know that Xiao Qingxi was pregnant. What did she do every day in the Ning Prince's Mansion?
In her previous life, Xiao Qingxi did not divorce Huo Yunzhou. She eventually returned to the Huo family and accepted Lin Rouxin.
Later, Lin Rouxin gave birth to a son and a daughter for Huo Yunzhou, while Xiao Qingxi had no children.
Rebirth will change some things around you, but Xiao Qingxi is far away in the Northwest and should not be affected by the reborn people in the capital. She must have been pregnant in her previous life, just like in this one.
However, the child was not born.
Either Xiao Qingxi had a miscarriage, or she had an abortion, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
Shen Wantang had already checked her pulse. Her pulse was strong, and both her body and the fetus were in good condition. The possibility of an accidental miscarriage was extremely low.
As for Xiao Qingxi's decision to have an abortion...
Looking at Xiao Qingxi's excited and happy appearance, Shen Wantang dismissed the guess in her heart. She probably wouldn't have an abortion on her own initiative.
That leaves only one possibility—her child is gone, and she was murdered.
A maid's voice rang out from outside the door: "Princess, the imperial physician has arrived."
Xiao Qingxi hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly!"
The door opened, and the maid led the imperial physician in. Then, the maid left and closed the door again.
After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said with a beaming smile, "Congratulations, Princess! You are pregnant!"
Suppressing her excitement, Xiao Qingxi asked the imperial physician, "How many months along are you? Is the baby alright?"
"It's been three months, the baby is doing well, Princess, there's no need to worry, the pregnancy is very stable."
"Is there anything I should be careful about?"
The imperial physician then mentioned some taboos during pregnancy.
Xiao Qingxi remembered it very carefully. After he finished speaking, she had Granny Kang seal it with a big red seal and let the imperial physician leave.
Shen Wantang then decided not to stay any longer and get in the way: "Princess, please rest well. I will not tell anyone about your pregnancy, but I will inform my mother. She will probably come to see you soon."
After she finished speaking, she walked out.
In the courtyard, Xiao Qingyuan and Huo Yunzhou were still standing there. When they saw her come out, the two of them immediately went forward.
"Shen Wantang, what's wrong with my sister? Why won't you tell me, and why won't the imperial physician tell me? Are you trying to drive me crazy with worry?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I am really worried about Qingxi. Could you please tell me about her situation?"
Shen Wantang shook her head: "I'm sorry, I can't say. The imperial physician is also following the princess's orders. The princess has already woken up. If you want to know, go ask the princess!"
After hearing this, the two men immediately abandoned him and went inside the house.
However, since Xiao Qingxi had already fainted once, the two of them were incredibly gentle with her this time, as if afraid of startling her and causing her to faint again.
But Xiao Qingxi still treated the two of them with the same cold attitude as before, and she was even colder when she looked at Huo Yunzhou.
Shen Wantang glanced at the scene inside and saw that Xiao Qingxi was taking care of the child this time and her emotions were much calmer. She was no longer angry, so she took her maid and went to Princess Ning's courtyard.
When Princess Ning learned that her daughter was pregnant, her first reaction was not joy, but shock: "Xi'er is really pregnant?!"
"Yes, Mother."
"What should we do?"
Princess Ning frowned: "Putting aside the fact that childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell, just considering the situation between her and Yunzhou, should she keep the child or not? She originally wanted a divorce, but now it seems she can't get one."
“But if they can’t get a divorce, what will Xi’er do with Lin Rouxin in between? With her temper, she can’t tolerate any nonsense. If she sees Huo Yunzhou and Lin Rouxin being affectionate, she’ll be furious sooner or later.”
