Suddenly, Zhu Xianyue covered her lips and retched.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a stomachache?" asked the Queen Mother.
In the past, if a concubine retched, she would happily think that she was very likely pregnant.
But after experiencing so much, especially the incident with Concubine Zhuang, which made her expectations so high and her disappointments so great, she would only think that Zhu Xianyue had an upset stomach.
"No... Ugh..." Zhu Xianyue continued to dry heave.
This old lady, why hasn’t she realized it yet?
Seeing this, the palace maid quickly said, "Our young lady has been retching for the past two months and vomits at the sight of meat or fish."
"Sometimes I can't eat much in the afternoon, and at most I can only eat some sour fruits."
"The young lady said she was suffering from autumn fatigue and a cold that had not yet healed, so she did not go to see the imperial physician."
"Stop talking too much!" Zhu Xianyue scolded in a pretentious manner.
The maid shut up.
The Queen Mother was concerned.
These symptoms...are only experienced by pregnant women!
Zhu Xianyue, are you really pregnant?
But she couldn't believe it.
The greater the hope, the more painful it is when you are disappointed.
She didn't want to go through that experience again.
But when the imperial physician arrived, the Queen Mother still couldn't help but feel her heart pounding like a drum.
After Doctor Luo finished taking the patient's pulse, he suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.
Doctor Luo is also an old man in the palace.
It's rare to see such a loss of composure.
The Queen Mother had almost guessed the outcome.
Ask Doctor Luo directly: "Is the pregnancy...stable?"
"Steady, very stable!"
"Although my lady has a poor appetite, it's not a big deal for the fetus in your womb. Furthermore, my lady has a fertility physique that is rare in a thousand years, and her body is extremely suitable for childbirth!"
His words gave the Queen Mother a reassurance.
This time.
The arrogant Queen Mother could no longer hold herself up.
She couldn't wait to hold Zhu Xianyue's hand.
"You! You are my son's benefactor!"
Zhu Xianyue looked flattered and said, "...I'm just lucky."
Among the concubines in the harem, she is the only one who can give birth.
Is this a matter of better luck?
This luck is incredible!
It's really a koi!
Thinking of the koi, the Queen Mother became even more certain of Zhu Xianyue's identity as a "royal noble".
"You, you are a noble of our Liang Dynasty, how can you occupy a mere position of a permanent official?"
"Concubine Zhu, I will take you to see the Emperor. Let's go now!"
"You ride in my sedan chair!"
"Queen Mother, this is against the rules..."
"Rules are made by people! Zhu Changzai, you have done a great service by bearing the emperor a child!"
The Queen Mother insisted, so Zhu Xianyue had no choice but to obey.
Liang Anyu was discussing matters in the Qinzheng Hall.
Several veteran officials are giving advice.
Of course, Liang Anyu was adopted by a member of the royal family.
Liang Anyu was about to write the imperial edict and put the final stroke on it.
The errand boy found Wei Ziping first.
Upon hearing this, Wei Ziping immediately passed the message.
"Your Majesty, please wait! The Empress Dowager has sent a message that Concubine Zhu is already two months pregnant! The pregnancy is stable! We have already consulted the imperial physician to confirm it!"
...Yue'er?
He put away his pen.
"Concubine Zhu is pregnant, I will wait a little longer."
"My dear ministers, please go back."
Liang Anyu pretended to be calm.
But his trembling hands betrayed him.
Calculating the time, Zhu Xianyue became pregnant with his child after returning to the palace.
Moreover, before this, the Queen Mother had ordered a thorough investigation of the harem.
The incident involving Concubine Zhuang will never happen again.
In other words, the child in Zhu Xianyue's belly is undoubtedly of royal blood.
At this moment, Zhu Xianyue was resting in a side hall of the Qinzheng Hall.
In fact... she felt that the Queen Mother was too pampering to her.
