Chapter 174: It's a Pregnancy Pulse

Chunxi took the order and ran out quickly.

Xiao Jinyan sat down on the couch and looked at her with her eyes tightly closed and her brows furrowed. He reached out his hand between her brows and accidentally touched her forehead, which was wet and cold.

He raised his voice and called, "Xiaojiu, wake up."

Seeing that it didn't work, Xiao Jinyan had to resort to pinching the Ren Zhong point.

Shen Chu, who was originally in a coma, frowned slightly. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a hand pinching his philtrum. He looked at the owner of the hand and found it was Xiao Jinyan, whom he had not seen for three days.

She grabbed the hand, her voice a little weak and hoarse, "Your Highness, it hurts, please stop pinching me."

Xiao Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had woken up. "What happened to you? You were sleeping so soundly?"

Shen Chu shook her head slightly, "I don't know, I'm just very sleepy."

Xiao Jinyan stared at her for a long time, "I see you look listless, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Chu shook her head slightly, "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, I'm just sleepy."

Chunxi ran in, "Your Highness, Doctor Wen Yu is here."

He then gasped for breath.

As soon as he finished speaking, Doctor Wen Yu walked in quickly with a medical box.

Xiao Jinyan ordered: "Doctor Wen Yu, take a look at her quickly."

"I will now take Shen Liangdi's pulse." Doctor Wen Yu bent over and came to the bedside with a medicine box. After putting down the medicine box, he first looked at Shen Chuwei's face and then took her pulse.

Xiao Jinyan stood aside and asked: "She has been sleepy and listless recently. Do you know why?"

Doctor Wen Yu gently placed Shen Chuwei's hand on the quilt, with a faint smile on his lips, and turned to Xiao Jinyan to congratulate, "Congratulations, Your Highness, Shen Liangdi is pregnant."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

Only Chunxi showed a look of surprise. The young lady was actually pregnant. No wonder the young lady said she was a magpie, chirping all the time, which was considered as an announcement of good news.

Pregnant pulse? Shen Chuwei seemed to be struck by lightning, and did not react for a long time.

I checked myself a few days ago and there were no symptoms of poisoning or other diseases.

It's even less likely to be a pregnancy pulse. It's not like she drank the water from the Zimu River in the Nüer Kingdom, so she got pregnant without the union of a man and a woman.

She raised her head and looked at Xiao Jinyan. His face was gloomy and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Xiao Jinyan was the one who knew best whether she was pregnant or not, so he was probably confused too.

Doctor Wen Yu lowered his head and found that the atmosphere was a little strange. Xiao Jinyan should be happy and excited about being a father for the first time, but why didn't he show any excitement at all? Instead, he felt the temperature of his body drop suddenly, making him feel a chill on his back.

Xiao Jinyan's eyes were gloomy as he looked at Shen Chuwei, then slowly fell on her belly, which was covered with a quilt, so nothing could be seen.

She is actually pregnant?

He took a deep breath and ordered, "Don't make this public. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed."

Doctor Wen Yu had been in the palace for three years and had seen a lot of things. He knew the seriousness of the matter and lowered his head even more. "I obey your command."

"I obey your command." Chunxi was confused. She didn't know what had happened. The young lady was pregnant. Wasn't His Highness happy? Why did he seem angry?

Xiao Jinyan ordered in a cold voice: "All of you retreat."

Chunxi and Doctor Wen Yu said in unison, "Yes, sir."

Then they walked out one after another.

Only Shen Chuwei and Xiao Jinyan were left in the room.

Shen Chuwei looked at Xiao Jinyan in confusion, not quite understanding his actions. This way, both Wen Yuyi and Chunxi would think that she was pregnant.

What a misunderstanding.

At the same time, she took her own pulse again, curious about how Dr. Wen Yu diagnosed a pregnancy.

Xiao Jinyan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes fixed on Shen Chuwei. After spending these days together, he didn't believe that she would do such a thing.

But Ximai told him that he had to believe it.

Shen Chuwei frowned, because she had diagnosed the baby as pregnant. It was clearly not a pregnancy pulse two days ago, so how did it become a pregnancy pulse now?

Xiao Jinyan was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

When Shen Chuwei was wondering why she was pregnant, she saw Xiao Jinyan leaving without looking back. She called out, "Your Highness?"

Xiao Jinyan walked quickly and disappeared at the door in a short while.

After Xiao Jinyan left, Chunxi trotted in, her round little face full of confusion.

"My lady, what's wrong? My lady is pregnant, why is Your Highness unhappy? I feel like I'm very angry."

Shen Chuwei said helplessly: "I'm not pregnant."

Chunxi was stunned for a moment, "My lady, do you mean that Doctor Wen Yu made a misdiagnosis?"

Shen Chuwei said: "It's not a misdiagnosis. Although the pulse is a happy pulse, it's just an illusion."

Chunxi suddenly sat limply on the pedal, "My lady, we are done."

Shen Chuwei saw Chunxi was so scared and knew the seriousness of the matter. "It shouldn't be that serious."

Chunxi grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand, as if grasping the last hope, "My lady, are you mistaken? You and His Highness have been in bed together for so long, maybe you are really pregnant?"

Shen Chuwei sighed helplessly, "I said she's not pregnant, and you don't even believe your own master?"

"My lady, if it is true that Doctor Wen Yu made a misdiagnosis, His Highness would not be angry, unless His Highness thought that you are having an affair, but that doesn't make sense." Chunxi was extremely anxious. They had finally reconciled, but this happened again.

Shen Chuwei now understood why Xiao Jinyan did something that could cause misunderstanding, and left without looking back.

"Then he might really think that I'm having an affair and the child is someone else's."

Chun Xi said timidly, "Don't you have no children?"

"But the pulse says it is there, and it was Doctor Wen Yu who diagnosed it. There is nothing in the stomach, so it is no different from the real thing." Shen Chuwei sighed and said, "We are done."

Chunxi burst into tears, "My lady, I am afraid of death, sob!"

Shen Chuwei said: "You make it sound like I'm not afraid of death."

Chunxi panicked, "What should I do? If His Highness thinks that the young lady is having an affair, then His Highness will be cuckolded, and being beaten to death would be the least of his punishment."

Shen Chuwei said, "There is a kind of medicine that will give women the illusion of pregnancy after taking it. However, I can taste it as soon as I take a bite, so it is not caused by the medicine."

Chunxi thought for a moment and guessed, "My lady, I know all about palace fighting, so could Dr. Wen Yu be bribed? If he deliberately framed you, you can't clear yourself even if you jump into the Yellow River. If His Highness gets angry and beats you to death, there will be no evidence, and his goal will be achieved. Even if the truth is revealed later, it will be too late."

Shen Chu shook his head slightly. "Dr. Wen Yu is someone Xiao Jinyan trusts. He won't be bribed so easily. Have you forgotten that I had false smallpox last year? That is a capital crime. Dr. Wen Yu did not leak the news."

"Then what is going on? Who wants to harm the young master?"

Chunxi thought for a long time but could not come up with an idea. She suddenly grabbed Shen Chuwei's hand and said, "My lady, the most important thing now is to make His Highness believe that you are not having an affair. As long as His Highness believes it, we will not die."
