Rong Heqing was stunned, and her first reaction was to doubt whether she was really dizzy or pretending to be dizzy. After all, she had experienced this person's acting skills before, so she didn't dare to take it lightly.

King Annan took two steps at a time and rushed forward, picked up Wu Caixue and put her on the bed. After checking her breath, he found that she was still breathing. He shouted, "Zhou Ze, go get the court doctor! Quick!"

"Yes!" Zhou Ze didn't dare to delay and directly used his lightness skills to fly over the eaves and walls.

Rong Heqing looked at him enviously and then looked away.

She looked at Rong Qiao's anxious reaction, and obviously didn't know that Wu Caixue would faint. Was she really sick?

"Xue Cai, Xue Cai, wake up!"

King Annan pinched Wu Caixue's philtrum hard and patted her face.

After all, he was a military general, and he didn't care about the severity of his blows, slapping Wu Caixue's face with a loud slapping sound.

Rong and Qing felt sorry for her when they heard this.

Are you calling someone or recruiting someone?

However, with great force, miracles happened, and Wu Caixue actually moved.

She looked closely and saw Wu Caixue's eyelashes trembling. She struggled to open her eyes. She was a little confused at first, but soon she became clear. His eyes swept across her face and quickly turned away to Rong Qiao. Rong Qiao was overjoyed, "Mom, you're awake?! Father is here to see you!"

Wu Caixue was startled and turned around to see King Annan.

Almost in the blink of an eye, her eyes were red, and she laughed at herself hoarsely, "Is it really the prince? Am I dreaming?"

She had a pale face and was not wearing any makeup. Her black hair fell all over the pillow, making her face look even smaller.

When a beautiful woman is in tears, most people can't resist it.

King Annan raised his hand and touched her face, saying with pity: "It's not a dream, I'm really here."

Wu Caixue was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly stood up and threw herself into the arms of King Annan, sobbing softly, "Your Majesty! I almost couldn't see you anymore, I was so scared..."

"Your Majesty, the doctor from Zhang's mansion has arrived—"

Zhou Ze shouted from the doorway, interrupting the two people's conversation.

King Annan immediately let go of Wu Caixue and said, "Come in, show the concubine how could she faint for no reason?"

Doctor Zhang was the new doctor. He was young, but had excellent medical skills. After paying his respects, he observed Wu Caixue for a moment before taking out the pulse pillow and letting her put her hand on it.

After a while, Doctor Zhang raised his eyebrows with a subtle expression.

Rong Heqing felt a sinking feeling in his heart for some reason.

Finally, Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand, smiled broadly, and bowed to King Annan and Wu Caixue, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Concubine, the Concubine is pregnant!"

When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

Rong Heqing looked at Wu Caixue's belly in astonishment, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything through the quilt.

Such a coincidence? !

After being shocked, King Annan immediately showed joy on his face, "Really? A few months?"

Doctor Zhang said, "Judging from the pulse, it has been about three months."

As he said that, he asked about the time and number of times Wu Caixue and the prince had slept together. There was indeed one time three months ago, so it matched.

As soon as the King of Annan smiled, Doctor Zhang changed the subject, "However, the Concubine is weak and worried too much, so this pregnancy is a little unstable. You need to be more careful and take good care of it. I will prescribe a prescription for the pregnancy later. The Concubine should take it on time every day and stop the medicine when the fetus is stable."

"Okay, go ahead and prescribe it. There is a pharmacy in the palace. Use the best medicinal materials and make sure to save this child."

"Yes."

Doctor Zhang went out with his medicine box to write a prescription.

Rong Heqing looked back at Wu Caixue, only to see the corners of her lips curved, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

999: [It’s not an illusion, she really laughed just now, ugh, so scary.]

Rong Heqing understood clearly and said: [The plan succeeded, and he got a golden medal of immunity from death. It is indeed a good thing to laugh. ]

She knew that this time Wu Caixue's restoration to favor was a foregone conclusion and she couldn't stop it, so she simply smiled, said a few words of blessing, and found an excuse to leave.

As she stepped over the threshold, she heard the laughter of a family of three inside, and her eyes darkened.

"What? You said Wu Caixue is pregnant?"

The princess' eyes widened in shock, and Concubine Lu was so frightened that a needle pricked her finger and she hissed in pain.

Rong Heqing quickly handed her the handkerchief and said, "Please be careful, Concubine. She is just pregnant. It's not serious."

Concubine Lu smiled bitterly, wrapped her fingers, and sighed, "My princess, you don't know. His Majesty wants to let the prince's sons go to the capital, but he didn't name any one. The prince hasn't said anything definite. I heard that he was inclined to let the second young master go, but now Concubine Wu is pregnant and the fetus is not stable. If she begs the prince..."

The King of Annan might have let his eldest son go.

Rong Heqing understood what she was not saying.

Everyone knows that His Majesty wants to take one of the King of Annan's sons as a hostage. If the relationship between the two sides breaks down in the future and someone is targeted, the hostage will be the first to bear the brunt.

"More than that." The princess sneered, "If she gives birth to another son, it's hard to say who will own this palace in the future."

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The current situation is indeed not optimistic.

"Mother, concubine, don't be too anxious. My eldest brother is both civil and military and is very popular. Father will not send him away easily. Besides, His Majesty is in a hurry, and Concubine Wu's baby still needs to be carried for seven months. In comparison, it is safest to let my second brother go to the capital."

Rong and Qing looked calm, and they were infected by him and calmed down as well.

The three of them had a meal together and then went their separate ways.

*

That night, Rong Heqing lay in bed unable to sleep, tossing and turning thinking about this matter.

[Host, are you also worried that Concubine Wu will give birth to another son? ]

[Not really.] Rong Heqing turned over and lay flat on his back, looking at the ceiling, [I am just curious, do you think there is such a coincidence in the world? She got pregnant after only being confined for a few days?]

[You suspect she's faking her pregnancy? Wasn't the doctor hired by the princess? Was he bribed by her? ]

Rong Heqing touched his chin, [Is there any method or medicine that can make people feel pregnant after taking it? ]

[It’s hard to say, but I don’t rule out this possibility.]

Rong Heqing thought about it, put on his clothes, stood up, called Chu Suifeng, told him his guess, and asked him to go find Rong Ji tomorrow and ask Rong Ji to check it out.

However, she didn't know that someone had already taken the lead.

The other courtyard in the west of the city.

The study was brightly lit and crowded with people.

The lanterns in the corridor swayed in the wind, and their shadows were reflected on Guan Zhen's brocade boots.

He hurried up the steps and greeted the guards at the door: "Has the conversation inside not been completed yet?"

The guard nodded.

Guan Zhen hesitated whether to go in, but the study door opened first and Tang Yiming came out with a group of secret guards.

Shu Xian called out from inside, "Come in."

Guan Zhen immediately ran in, "Master, there is a clue."

Shu Xian pressed his eyebrows, said nothing, and just stretched out his hand.

Guan Zhen immediately put the secret letter on it.

Shu Xian took it and looked at it. After a while, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "Because of lust, your mind is confused, and you are trapped by love. You are so stupid."

"If they join forces, the palace will probably change hands. Master, should we intervene or not?"

This time Shu Xian was silent for a long time.

Guan Zhen did not dare to urge him, but lowered his head and waited.

After a long while, Shu Xian held the secret letter between his two fingers and moved it over the candle flame. The flame greedily licked it, illuminating his dark pupils. "Pay more attention to the movements of the palace in the next few days. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately!"
