Chapter 614: Eighty-Eight
Concubine Yi shrank her neck guiltily: "Jin'er is young and offended the queen. As her mother, I am willing to take the punishment for her."
"You...are you trying to piss me off to death?" Queen Song also realized the reason why Concubine Yi was asking for forgiveness, and she gritted her teeth in anger: "Do you think I am such a petty person?"
This confused thing.
How could Yunlu not know about her cooking skills?
Chen Ruijin vomited after taking a bite, how could it be because it tasted bad?
Wouldn’t Concubine Yi think of other reasons?
"Ah?" Concubine Yi looked at Queen Song in confusion.
Queen Song was so angry that she laughed. She reached out and pulled the kneeling Concubine Yi up and made her sit up.
Although she had some suspicions, she had to wait for the imperial physician to come and diagnose her to know for sure whether it was a sign of pregnancy or not.
After vomiting for a while, Chen Rujin recovered and drank a cup of tea from Lu Xiang's hand. After relieving the nausea, she said to the queen anxiously, "I am sorry for your impoliteness."
"Sit down quickly. What's the rudeness about it? You're not feeling well. Do you think I should blame you?" Queen Song said with a gentle smile.
When Concubine Yi saw that Queen Song was indeed not angry, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and picked up the teacup to drink some tea to calm her nerves.
Just after taking a sip, she suddenly jumped up from her chair as if she had suddenly thought of something, staring at Chen Rujin in astonishment: "Jin'er, are you pregnant?"
Chen Rujin was feeling uncomfortable with the pressure on his chest, and without thinking too much, he subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"
"She's pregnant."
Chen Rujin was stunned when she heard this and stared at Concubine Yi in a daze.
Seeing her bewildered look, Concubine Yi asked anxiously, "Have you been experiencing nausea and drowsiness recently?"
Chen Rujin was shocked and shook her head. However, Lu Luo beside her had bright eyes and said quickly, "Your Majesty, my concubine had her period ten days late this month."
"That's almost certain." Concubine Yi clapped her hands excitedly and stared at Chen Ruijin's belly with a smile, as if a fat grandson would jump out in the next moment, open his arms and call her grandma.
Chen Rujin looked at Concubine Yi, who was biting her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying because she was too excited, and then turned to look at Queen Song, who was smiling gently. She felt something was unreal.
Soon, Doctor Zheng hurried over carrying a medicine box.
When Eunuch Meng from Jingren Palace came to invite him, he gave him a general account of the situation. He heard that Concubine Chen was very likely pregnant, so Imperial Doctor Zheng did not dare to delay at all.
He was Queen Song's man, and Concubine Yi was on good terms with the Queen, so he should take Concubine Chen's affairs seriously, and so he even carried the medicine box himself without asking anyone else to do it for him.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty..."
Doctor Zheng was halfway through his formalities, with the second half of his sentence still stuck in his throat when Concubine Yi grabbed him and said, "Why are you formalizing at this time? Take her pulse quickly. Her Majesty won't mind."
As she spoke, she turned her head and gave Queen Song a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, oh?"
Queen Song: “…”
You have already said it, what else can she say?
Queen Song nodded to Imperial Physician Zheng, agreeing with Concubine Yi's words.
Doctor Zheng no longer bothered about the formalities and hurried to Chen Rujin's side. He took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the table: "Concubine Chen, please extend your hand."
Chen Ruijin placed her hand on the pulse pillow. As Doctor Zheng remained silent, her heart rose to her throat, and she felt nervous and excited.
Concubine Yi stared at Doctor Zheng without blinking, and her fingers kept twisting the handkerchief, revealing her anxiety.
