Pregnant Indeed
Yun Nian felt a strong desire to die.
She truly wanted to open up the original host’s mind and see what kind of inferior quality tofu was inside!
To think that she had been manipulated by the scheming evil sister!
Yun Yan continued, “Your Royal Highness, don’t you remember drinking with my grandfather a month ago? You had a bit too much and rested in the mansion for a while. It was during that time that Fourth Sister and you consummated your marriage. Now, she has been pregnant for a month. If Your Royal Highness doesn’t believe me, you can find a doctor. Just a simple pulse diagnosis will reveal the truth!”
She spoke with utmost conviction.
Yun Nian’s mind twitched.
Don’t think that I can’t see the satisfaction in your eyes just because you pretend to be sincerely concerned.
For now, the priority is to deal with the situation in her belly.
Yun Nian closed her eyes, and familiar images of a medical research lab and an operating room appeared in her consciousness.
She couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, the life-saving tools were still there.
Swiftly, she retrieved medicine from the spatial medical room and raised her sleeve to cover her face.
“Fifth Sister, you’re talking nonsense! I am not pregnant. How can you tarnish my innocence with the lord? Aren’t you afraid of his anger?”
While raising her sleeve, Yun Nian discreetly put the medicine in her mouth.
“Are you innocent?”
Xiao Chengjun’s voice was cold.
“…”
Yun Nian was speechless.
Shouldn’t they present a united front at this moment?
Or perhaps, he wanted a child?
Xiao Chengjun looked at her with complex eyes.
A month ago, Lord Yun discussed military affairs with him, and afterwards, he accompanied Lord Yun for a few drinks.
At the time, he was puzzled because his alcohol tolerance shouldn’t have made him drunk after just a few sips.
If there was poison in the wine, he would have noticed.
But if something else was added…
Xiao Chengjun’s gaze turned even colder.
He had probably already decided how he would dismember her and feed her to the wolves.
Yet, Yun Yan continued to fan the flames, “Fourth Sister is already yours, Your Royal Highness. You just need to find a doctor to confirm that Yan’er is telling the truth. Fourth Sister is indeed carrying your child. Please don’t disappoint my Fourth Sister!”
Prince Cheng’en remained silent for a long time.
Yun Yan finished speaking without daring to catch her breath.
Yun Zhen’s eyes flickered and he suddenly shouted in a stern voice, “Rebellious girl, how dare you engage in such illicit activities! Do you want to anger your father to death? If the lord cannot tolerate you, don’t blame your father for not considering the father-daughter relationship!”
Yun Nian sneered.
What a clever way to shift blame and accuse others.
What a clever way to engage in illicit activities.
Two people meeting privately, that’s what should be called illicit activities.
Yun Zhen seemed to be scolding her, but in reality, he was subtly linking her and Xiao Chengjun together.
Sure enough, Xiao Chengjun’s expression grew even colder.
His gaze was as icy as a wolf’s, and Yun Zhen didn’t dare to look at him.
“Du Jin, go find the imperial doctor.” Xiao Chengjun’s tone was chilling.
Du Jin nodded, “Yes, Your Royal Highness.”
And swiftly went to fetch the imperial doctor.
A trace of conflict flashed in Xiao Chengjun’s eyes.
If she really had a child…
This woman was not worthy of bearing his child!
Xiao Chengjun’s eyes turned cold, and Yun Nian felt a chill down her spine.
Could he please not make his murderous intent so obvious?
Yun Nian wasn’t stupid.
Even if she were actually pregnant, she doubted this man would let her give birth.
She rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking, rest assured, you won’t have a child.
You’ll be a lonely person until death!
Soon, Du Jin returned with the imperial doctor.
As the notorious Prince Cheng’en, the imperial doctor didn’t dare to ponder the strange scene before him.
He bowed his head nervously and said, “Your Royal Highness…”
“Examine her pulse!”
Xiao Chengjun interrupted the Doctor’s words with a cold voice.
The Doctor looked up, uncertain, and asked, “May I know who needs the pulse examination?”
“Of course, it’s my Fourth Sister. Please carefully diagnose her,” Yun Yan spoke up.
“Please extend your hand, Fourth Lady.”
Yun Nian hesitated for a second, as if reluctant to let the Doctor examine her pulse.
Yun Yan appeared concerned as she held Yun Nian’s hand, but in reality, she gripped it tightly, not giving her a chance to break free.
She presented Yun Nian’s hand to the Doctor and said, “Doctor, please examine her carefully.”
The Doctor skillfully took Yun Nian’s pulse and remained silent for a while.
“How is it?”
Xiao Chengjun asked coldly.
“Well…”
The Doctor hesitated, glancing at Yun Nian, and whispered, “Your Royal Highness, Fourth Lady Yun has a pregnancy pulse… judging from the pulse pattern, she has been pregnant for a month.”
Yun Nian: !!!
What are you saying?!
Touch your conscience and say it again, who is pregnant?
Yun Yan’s lips curved into a smile. “Your Royal Highness, do you believe now? My Fourth Sister is truly carrying your child!”
Child?
It might as well be dog meat!
Xiao Chengjun’s face turned terrifyingly dark, and Yun Nian’s gaze grew cold.
“This is impossible. Doctor, examine her pulse again carefully. Perhaps you made a misdiagnosis!”
The Doctor’s face didn’t look too good upon hearing this.
“As a Doctor serving in the palace, I wouldn’t dare to make a hasty diagnosis without clear evidence. Fourth Lady Yun, you are undoubtedly pregnant based on your pregnancy pulse.”
Yun Nian: …
I’m sure you’re just a quack!
“Doctor, are you certain of your diagnosis?”
The original host was indeed manipulated by Yun Yan and was tricked into taking fake pregnancy medicine before the marriage.
This plan was to prevent Xiao Chengjun from discovering the switch of brides.
Once Xiao Chengjun found out about the substitution, they would claim that Yun Nian was already pregnant with his child, using the excuse that a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs.
Xiao Chengjun would surely keep her and the child!
The original host was completely used as cannon fodder by Yun Yan.
But she had just taken the antidote, so it was impossible for her to exhibit any signs of a false pregnancy.
Either this Doctor’s medical skills were lacking, or the Doctor himself had a problem.
Her cold gaze made the Doctor feel somewhat guilty, but he stubbornly said, “I am certain! You have been pregnant for a month.”
Yun Nian sneered, “I am not pregnant. I wonder whose favor the imperial doctor has received to insist that I am with child?”
“You…”
The imperial doctor’s face turned red, and he stammered, a hint of guilt flickering in his eyes.
“Your Royal Highness, I assure you, Fourth Lady is indeed pregnant. This is not the first time she conceives out of wedlock. I have never made a misdiagnosis!”
Yun Nian: …Personal attacks, thank you very much!
Fine, she would take responsibility for the original owner’s actions.
Xiao Chengjun’s expression grew colder as if he had been deeply humiliated.
Du Jin timely suggested, “Your Royal Highness, why not summon the Chief Doctor of the Imperial Medical Bureau to further examine the matter?”
If Yun Nian is truly carrying the prince’s child, it would be his first heir…
It’s better to proceed with caution!
Xiao Chengjun’s face remained cold, and after a moment, he raised his hand slightly.
Du Jin understood and went to fetch the Chief Doctor.
Before long, the elderly Chief Doctor, who was well into his fifties, hurriedly arrived.
“Your Royal…”
“Examine her.”
Xiao Chengjun’s voice was icy.
The Chief Doctor glanced at Yun Nian and gently took her pulse.
After a moment, the Chief Doctor withdrew his hand.
“Your Royal Highness, this young lady indeed has the pulse of pregnancy.”
Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor immediately regained his confidence.
“With the Chief Doctor personally examining her pulse, there can be no mistake! Fourth Lady has nothing more to say!”
Xiao Chengjun’s face turned grim.
“Have you made a careful diagnosis?”
The Chief Doctor remained composed.
“From the pulse, it appears that this young lady’s pregnancy has been suppressed by some medicinal intervention. It seems she has used an ancient prescription. I have come across similar symptoms in ancient texts, and I can confirm that she is indeed pregnant.”
Yun Nian: …
Well, well, the Chief Doctor’s medical skills are truly remarkable.
He couldn’t diagnose the fake pregnancy, but he managed to diagnose the effects of the antidote!
