Yongning Palace
Qiu Gu and the others turned ashen-faced. What had they just heard?
The Empress is pregnant, more than three months along!
This is really not something to be happy about.
Tong Jiajia sat in the chair, showing no sign of panic; on the contrary, she remained very calm.
At this moment, a young eunuch came to deliver a message that the Emperor was already heading this way, followed by several imperial physicians.
Qiu Gu and the others quickly went outside and knelt down.
Tong Jiajia slowly exhaled and stood up. Suddenly, she was pulled into the inner hall.
Ali, speechless, pulled Tong Jiajia aside and asked, "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Tong Jiajia looked at Ali in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Ah Li looked at the man who had brought her here earlier and said, "It was him who knew you were in trouble, so he carried me here."
Ah Li was about to leave the city when this big man suddenly appeared in front of her, saying, "Your sister is in trouble."
Without saying a word, he picked up Ahri and ran towards the palace.
On the way, he told Ali that Tong Jiajia had been diagnosed by the imperial physician as pregnant, but the month was not right and she would definitely die when the time came.
Ahri asked the man, "Is the child in my sister's belly yours?"
"Yes, I love your sister and I want to marry her, but your sister doesn't want to."
The man was extremely worried, but he dared not force himself on her because his first time with Tong Jiajia had not been pleasant.
At this moment, Yuwen Zheng entered the inner hall.
The head eunuch had been following them, but when he saw Ah Li lying on the bed, he stopped, but waited nearby.
Several imperial physicians remained in the outer hall and did not follow them in.
Just now, Ahri didn't have time to change her clothes, so she just took off her outer shirt and lay down on the bed. Then she pinched her thigh hard and her eyes instantly turned red.
it hurts!
Ahri burst into tears instantly; she had been too cruel to herself.
Tong Jiajia and that man had disappeared somewhere, and Ah Li couldn't sense their presence.
Yuwen Zheng then walked towards Ah Li.
Hearing the commotion, Ah Li glanced at Yuwen Zheng with tears in her eyes.
Then he lay back down, saying listlessly, "Your Majesty, give me some poisoned wine."
Yuwen Zheng was hurt by Ah Li's words. Didn't she have any way to defend herself?
It was their first time together, and he could feel it.
But why is the month wrong?
Yuwen Zheng walked to the bedside and sat down. He looked at Ah Li, who had her back to him, with tears occasionally welling up and falling onto the quilt.
"I will believe you if you explain."
"I……"
Ah Li looked at Yuwen Zheng with red eyes. She wanted to tell him that she was not Tong Jiajia, but that would be considered a crime of deceiving the emperor.
Yuwen Zheng sighed softly, raised his hand to touch Ah Li's tears, and said, "I brought several imperial physicians with me. I'll have them take her pulse again."
"Um."
Ah Li responded softly, and Yuwen Zheng stood up, picked up the clothes hanging to the side, and came over.
“I can dress myself.”
Ah Li cautiously glanced at Yuwen Zheng.
"You no longer refer to yourself as 'your concubine'?"
Yuwen Zheng raised an eyebrow and told Ah Li to raise her hand so he could dress her.
Ah Li blinked her eyes, which were still wet from crying, and looked at Yuwen Zheng, "Isn't Your Majesty angry?"
Yuwen Zheng helped Ah Li put on her clothes and said, "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. I trust you."
The moment Yuwen Zheng saw her cry, he knew he had softened his heart, and the nameless anger he had been feeling vanished.
Upon hearing this, Ah Li reached out and hugged Yuwen Zheng, too moved to speak.
Yuwen Zheng also liked the feeling of Ah Li nestled in his arms at this moment, and he held her without urging her.
The chief eunuch waited in the outer room for a long time, but seeing that the two were still embracing, he dared not speak.
Before long, Ah Li raised her head herself and said, "Your Majesty, let's not keep the imperial physicians waiting. Let's go out."
"Um."
Yuwen Zheng took Ah Li's hand, and the two walked out together.
After Yuwen Zheng and Ah Li sat down, the imperial physician who was standing outside was allowed to enter.
After several imperial physicians entered, they took turns taking Ah Li's pulse.
After taking their pulses, they didn't say anything and all stepped aside.
Not long ago, the imperial physician who had come to inquire about Ah Li's pulse was also there, and he took Ah Li's pulse again.
Then he was puzzled. His pulse had clearly been stronger than three months before, but it wasn't like that now.
Yuwen Zheng noticed that the imperial physician looked strange, so he looked at him.
When the imperial physician saw Yuwen Zheng looking over, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. The pulse at this moment is different from the pulse I felt before."
"So, what is the pulse like now?"
The imperial physician said, "The Imperial Concubine is indeed pregnant, but not more than three months along; she is less than two months along. We cannot yet determine the exact time based on her pulse."
"Where are the others?"
Yuwen Zheng looked at the other imperial physicians, and they all said the same thing as this physician.
At this moment, Ah Li tugged at Yuwen Zheng's sleeve; she had something to say to him alone.
Yuwen Zheng waved his hand, signaling them all to leave.
The head eunuch still felt a bit unreal; this was just too strange.
Qiu Gu felt as if she had escaped death. Could it be that they had all been hallucinating?
Seeing that everyone had left, Ah Li wanted to kneel down in front of Yuwen Zheng.
Yuwen Zheng pulled the man back and asked, "Why are you kneeling down?"
Ah Li said, "Your Majesty, am I guilty? Or is it the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
"Then tell me."
