Chapter 5356: Abnormal

Cai Qi, suppressing a laugh, fetched her the latest red dress and quickly walked to her side.

After washing and dressing, the little Crown Princess instinctively touched her round belly and asked earnestly, "Cai Xiu, have you felt me radiating heat lately? Especially around my belly, it feels like waves of heat are rolling off it." Sometimes, when she touched it herself, she could feel her belly was quite warm, almost comically so!

Cai Xiu's lips twitched, and she nodded calmly. "Precisely. But Your Highness's belly never allows anyone else to get close; anyone who tries to touch it gets pushed away. Ahem, so from a distance, we haven't felt the rolling heat waves."

Other pregnant women were pregnant, and the Crown Princess was pregnant, but why did they feel that the Crown Princess's pregnancy was so peculiar and mystical?

The little Crown Princess nodded, gently patted her belly, and muttered to herself, "Child, you must be good; don't be like your father."

"Your father, in his time, really put his mother through a lot. You mustn't be like him."

Cai Xiu and Cai Qi exchanged glances, suppressing their laughter, and followed the muttering Crown Princess out.

As soon as they left the sleeping chambers, they saw Wei Ziqin and Aunt Ren approaching together. Both smiled joyfully upon seeing her and quickly came forward, asking, "Qiao Qiao, when did you wake up?"

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"The imperial physicians have been waiting outside for a while; why don't we call them in?" Aunt Ren said hurriedly.

Qiao Mu thought for a moment and nodded. Those elderly grandpas were quite pitiful. They had been assigned here by His Majesty and the Empress to consult her three times a day, and the psychological pressure of constantly being on edge must have been immense. It was better to let them finish their consultation quickly, put their restless minds at ease, and arrange for them to return to their quarters to rest earlier.

Soon after, seven or eight old doctors walked in one after another and, as usual, took the little Crown Princess's pulse. A chief imperial physician named Zhang stroked his beard and said, "The Crown Princess's pulse is stable and strong, with powerful fluctuations. It's just that..."

Wei Ziqin's heart leaped at the old imperial physician's words. She asked nervously, "Just what?"

Old Imperial Physician Zhang quickly said, "Madam Qiao, there's no need to worry. This old man merely feels that the Crown Princess's excessive sleepiness is a bit severe."

Currently, the Crown Princess was awake for no more than three hours a day, sleeping for eight or nine hours. Several imperial physicians felt this was quite abnormal and were extremely panicked. They worried that something might go wrong with this precious princess, and at that point, implicating their entire clans would likely be the least of their worries.

The little Crown Princess gave them a kind smile. But this peculiar smile, in the eyes of the imperial physicians, felt like the little Crown Princess was giving them a very serious, cold smirk. The group of old doctors couldn't help but shiver internally.

The little stoic said to the old doctors, "You don't need to worry; I know my body well, and there are no problems. All right, you can all go back and rest now."

Wei Ziqin watched two eunuchs escort the doctors back, then looked at Qiao Mu with a worried expression. "Qiao Qiao, if anything is wrong, you mustn't hide it from Mother."

"Mother, I'm not hiding anything from you," Qiao Mu said helplessly, looking at her mother. "It's truly nothing, Mother. How about I perform a sword routine for you to see!"

Wei Ziqin and Aunt Ren quickly rushed over and held her back.
