"How dare you!" Qin Shuyao was furious, but the other party still vomited.
The suspicious director of the Imperial Hospital couldn't help but remind her, "Your Majesty, may I have your permission to examine this palace maid? She seems...she seems to be pregnant."
"She's...pregnant?" Qin Shuyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and without caring whether it was against the rules or not, she immediately ordered the director of the Imperial Hospital to take the palace maid's pulse.
After some diagnosis and treatment, the director of the Imperial Hospital confirmed his guess and speculated that the fetus was three months old.
"Tell me, whose child are you carrying in your belly?" Qin Shuyao looked at the palace maid meaningfully.

This was her perfect opportunity to turn things around, even if it meant facing a prince who couldn't even take care of himself...
"Take good care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he makes any mistake, I will beat you all to death!"
"Yes, Queen."
