Chapter 329 Why can’t she get pregnant?
The old woman who was in charge of delivering the contraceptive soup immediately knelt down in panic.
"Princess, I always watch her drink it, I would never cheat, please trust me."
After saying that, she kowtowed so hard that her forehead bled.
After a while, Lu Shiyin snorted coldly, "I don't think you dare to betray me."
Upon hearing this, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"How on earth did that bitch get pregnant?"
The old woman's eyes rolled as she speculated, "In my humble opinion, Concubine Chu must have induced vomiting immediately after I left, and vomited up all the contraceptive soup. Otherwise, she would never have gotten pregnant."
Lu Shiyin spat fiercely upon hearing this, "Bitch, I underestimated her!"
She reached out and touched her belly sadly again.
"Why is my belly so weak?"
She has clearly been favored many times, so why is there no movement at all?
All the confidants spoke to comfort her, "Your Majesty, it's just that the fate hasn't arrived yet. Once the fate arrives, everything will fall into place naturally."
Lu Shiyin nodded reluctantly.
But he was still sad in his heart, and when he thought of Chu Yunqing, that sadness turned into intense anger.
Just then, a woman came in hurriedly with a smile on her face.
"Princess, happy news, great news."
Lu Shiyin's face was cold, "Why should I be happy?"
The old woman said happily, "Something big happened in Concubine Chu's family."
Lu Shiyin's expression straightened, "Oh?"
The old woman told the whole story in a few words. After listening to it, Lu Shiyin's eyes suddenly lit up.
She laughed out loud, "Well, this is truly a great occasion! I want to see what leverage that bitch has to protect this child."
She swept away her previous dejection and stood up excitedly, "Let's go see Concubine Chu."
The imperial physician arrived, took Chu Yunqing's pulse, and congratulated her with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! Concubine Chu is one month pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yunqing's face immediately showed great surprise.
When Lu Shiyin rushed over, she just heard what the imperial physician said, and her face couldn't help but darken.
But when she turned around, she gave a fake smile.
"My sister is so lucky."
The joy on Chu Yunqing's face suddenly froze, and she patted her belly defensively and saluted stiffly.
"I have met the princess."
Lu Shiyin smiled wryly, "Sister is a noble lady now, please stop being so polite. If anything happens to your child, I can't take the responsibility."
These words made Chu Yunqing even more uneasy. She looked at Xiao Yanqing for help, wanting to get his protection.
But Xiao Yanqing didn't say anything, and he didn't show much joy about Chu Yunqing's pregnancy.
Chu Yunqing came at the wrong time and no one was looking forward to it.
Xiao Yanci was not dead and had made contributions. Xiao Yanqing was in the worst mood at that time. The good news of having a new baby could not offset the depression in his heart.
Li Yunshang also rushed over after hearing the news. Her rank was higher than Lu Shiyin's, and she smiled the whole time, as if she was really happy for Chu Yunqing.
Xiao Yanqing said in a cold tone, "Concubine Chu is pregnant. This is a major event. All matters related to the pregnancy will be arranged by the princess. No mistakes can be made, otherwise I will hold you responsible."
Lu Shiyin quickly agreed, but sneered in her heart.
If Chu Yunqing fell into her hands, and still expected to give birth to a child safely? That was simply a foolish dream.
Chu Yunqing no longer had her natal family to rely on, so even if she had a miscarriage, no one would back her up, and the prince would not offend the Lu family for her.
Lu Shiyin was fearless.
Chu Yunqing's face turned pale in an instant. She looked at Xiao Yanqing pitifully, wanting to seek more protection from him, but the other party had already lost his patience and walked away with a wave of his sleeves.
Lu Shiyin looked at Chu Yunqing with a half-smile, "My dear sister, don't worry, I will take good care of you and won't let anything happen to your child!"
When Chu Yunqing heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, but she had lost her mother's family and her confidence, so she was hesitant and dared not speak.
When Jiang heard that the army was returning, she was very happy and arranged for the servants in the house to prepare a banquet to welcome Chu Yian and Zhao Shuning. However, she did not expect to receive bad news first.
The imperial guards stormed into the Chu family's residence with great momentum. Jiang was shocked and angry. "You, what are you doing? This is the Xuanping Marquis's residence. You won't be so presumptuous!"
The leading imperial guard sneered a few times, "Marquis Xuanping's Mansion? It's no longer. Chu Yian plotted to murder Prince Jin, and Zhao Shuning is suspected of witchcraft. Their crimes are extremely serious. The Emperor has already issued an order to strip him of his title of Marquis Xuanping, exile all members of the Chu family to southern Yunnan, and execute Zhao Shuning in the autumn!"
When Jiang heard this, her legs went limp and she collapsed, her ears buzzing.
She kept muttering, "How could this happen? How is this possible?"
No one answered her. The imperial guards had already rushed in and began to ransack the house without any mercy.
Jiang came to her senses and rushed forward to grab some valuables, but she had no resistance against the imperial guards. In the end, she was left with nothing and could only fall to the ground, crying loudly.
The news soon reached the Jiang family.
The Jiang family members were instantly frightened, fearing that the Jiang family would also be implicated.
Fortunately, the imperial edict did not affect the Jiang family, so they quickly closed the door to prevent Jiang from coming to them for help and implicating them.
When Jiang Yongkang heard that Lu Zhiran was rewarded and named a princess, he was so angry that his teeth dropped.
"How come that old man Lu Guanxuan is so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter?"
Jiang Xingyi became even more envious, "It would be great if my son could marry her."
Then all the wealth and glory of Lu Zhiran would be his.
If only...
You can't think about it, because if you do, you'll feel so upset and regretful.
Jiang Yongkang suppressed the sour feeling in his heart and said, "Brother Yi, you should pay more attention to your wife and accompany her to her parents' home more often."
The Lu family is no longer the same as before, and they have no choice but to bow their heads and curry favor with them.
Jiang Xingyi thought of Lu Zhiran and did not object.
Even if I can't eat, it would be nice if I could walk around more often and see her more often to satisfy my craving.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xingyi went to Lu Yingxi's yard for the first time.
Lu Yingxi was about to give birth. Her body felt heavy and her legs were severely swollen. She was in great pain.
In recent months, her appetite has increased significantly, and she has become much fatter, no longer as gentle and beautiful as before.
When Jiang Xingyi came and saw her like this, the regret in his heart suddenly became stronger, and the disgust in his eyes could not be hidden.
When Lu Yingxi saw this, her eyes instantly blazed with fire and her expression turned cold.
"Why are you coming to me, a shrew, instead of looking for your confidantes?"
Jiang Xingyi patiently smiled and said, "I thought you were going to give birth, so I came to see you."
Lu Yingxi sneered, "Put away your hypocritical face and just say what you want to say."
Jiang Xingyi was annoyed by her attitude and gave up the idea of coaxing her. He said bluntly: "After you give birth, you can visit your parents more often. Our son's aunt is the future Princess Jin and a princess. If he wins the favor of his aunt, he will have a better future."
