The room was extremely quiet, so Qiao Yu's exclamation seemed unusually loud. Empress Dowager Xue and the Emperor's expressions turned somewhat ugly, especially Yan Fu.
"What I meant was... not necessarily. Perhaps I was simply not feeling well, and I didn't wait for the imperial physician's confirmation. I was afraid that making a decision so early would spoil the Emperor and my aunt's mood."
Qiao Yu's reasons were far-fetched, but her face was pale, and her skin was naturally white, so even if she felt like blaming him, she couldn't get angry seeing her like that.
Yan Fu was the first to speak: "Call the imperial physician."
Imperial Physician Jiang was old, but whenever it came to the favored empress, he would always trot over, panting, fearing that any delay would result in the loss of his life.
When Imperial Physician Jiang arrived, not only Concubine Hua was in the room today, but also the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Imperial Physician Jiang subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Your Majesty, good luck..."
Before he could finish his greeting, Yan Fu interrupted him: "No need to bow, go and see how Concubine Hua is doing."
Yan Fu naturally didn't believe what Aunt Xiufang said, that Qiao Yu was pregnant. After all, Qiao Yu never left out the contraceptive pills after each sleepover. He was afraid that Qiao Yu was suffering from the sequelae of the last fall from a horse.
Under the anxious gazes of many people in the room, Doctor Jiang stepped forward tremblingly to take Qiao Yu's pulse, and his furrowed brows gradually turned into a smile.
Kneel down quickly to congratulate:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty the Queen Mother. Concubine Hua is over two months pregnant."
Empress Dowager Xue was happy at first, but then she was terrified. According to the time, Qiao Yu might have been pregnant when she fell off the horse. If the Regent had not rescued her... I'm afraid there would have been two deaths.
Yan Fu and Qiao Yu were completely stunned, especially Yan Fu. Because of his previous love for Qiao Yu, the contraceptive soup he gave Qiao Yu from the beginning was not for sterilization, but the chance of pregnancy was also very small.
Yan Fu's expression was a little strange, indescribable. He wasn't angry nor disgusted, but rather there was a hint of joy in becoming a father?
Queen Mother Xue sat down beside the bed and poked Qiao Yu's forehead affectionately:
"You damn girl, you're about to become a mother, and you're still so careless."
The girl lying on the bed was still in a daze, feeling that everything that happened was too unreal, but she couldn't control the smile on her lips:
"Aunt, Lan'er really...really has the emperor's child?"
Being called by his lover, Yan Fu did not have time to think too much and quickly responded: "Come here, Imperial Physician Jiang has a generous reward. Each person in the Imperial Kitchen will be rewarded with two months' salary. Concubine Hua will be promoted to Imperial Concubine and given the title of Lan."
When Empress Dowager Xue saw Yan Fu was about to sit down, she quickly stood up to make room for the two of them, with a smile on her face, not at all angry that Yan Fu had just denied the punishment she had given to the imperial kitchen.
He told the others to leave as well.
After everyone left, Qiao Yu subconsciously tightened his grip on Yan Fu's hand.
"emperor..."
The woman's face was still a little pale, and coupled with the uneasiness in her heart, she looked pitiful. However, anyone could see that Qiao Yu was more frightened than happy at this moment.
Yan Fu thought Qiao Yu was flattered by his promotion, so he immediately comforted her:
"My beloved concubine, what do you think of this word? I think the word 'Lan' is the last character of your maiden name. Secondly, 'Lan' implies a beautiful woman, Hu Bu Ren, and a faint fragrance that fills the empty valley. It is a perfect fit for you."
Even with such pampering, the woman on the bed was not overjoyed, as if she was not happy about the arrival of the child in her belly?
But Qiao Yu immediately put away his thoughts and smiled weakly:
"Your Majesty's intentions are naturally excellent, but I have only been in the palace for half a year, and I am afraid that repeated promotions will not convince the public. In addition, my fetal position is not stable..."
Yan Fu heard that the little woman was using her health to refuse the favor, and his expression immediately turned cold:
"If I think you are worthy, then you are worthy. Just focus on taking care of your health. I will take care of the rest."
In fact, Yan Fu said this naturally, but he became confused again after he said it, because he didn't know whether he should keep the child?
This child came at the wrong time. It wasn't that Yan Fu didn't want Qiao Yu to have his own child, but it was just not the right time.
The Xue family was still as powerful as ever. If the child was a princess, Yan Fu would naturally dote on their child extremely well. But if the child was a prince... everything would be unsatisfactory.
Yan Fu comforted her for a long time before Qiao Yu finally felt at ease. Yan Fu rubbed Qiao Yu's hair:
"Rest well. I'll have dinner with you later after I finish reading the memorial."
Just as the man was about to leave, he saw Qiao Yu hesitating, as if he had made a great decision before he said with a red face:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't serve you well and I'm afraid I'll spoil your mood. Your Majesty, why don't you go to Concubine Qiu..."
In the past, the girl treated everyone kindly and gently, and treated the concubines in the harem as "sisters". But now she calls her "Princess Qiu", which shows that she cares about her love being divided.
"Silly girl, I just want to have dinner with you tonight. I will return to the Yangxin Palace after you have rested. Is Lan'er satisfied now?"
"emperor..."
Qiao Yu gave Yan Fu a coquettish look, and the strange atmosphere became more harmonious.
Seeing Qiao Yu like this, Yan Fu didn't dare to really make him angry. He ordered his men to reward him with a lot of things and then left.
After everyone left, Qiao Yu dismissed everyone in the room, leaving Zhu'er alone:
"I heard from Sufang that Yan'er accidentally fell into the water a few days ago and is now in a coma due to illness?"
Qiao Yu spoke lightly, as if he just mentioned it casually, but if he really said it casually, why would he ask Zhu'er again?
"Miss, Zhu'er fell into the water a few days ago in the dark. She has been taking medicine every day, but she hasn't gotten better."
