Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Who Says I Can’t Give Birth?!_1

Pregnant?!

Xiao Changyi’s cold eyes flashed with surprise.

An Jing was overjoyed, but then, she somewhat didn’t believe it.

She had her period last month, and this month’s period hadn’t come yet. If she was pregnant, then it would be less than a month... Has the medical skill here advanced so far that a pregnancy of less than a month can be detected by taking the pulse?

You should know, when Shi Xiaolan was pregnant, it was nearly three months before it was detected!

The Emperor of Xiyun was suddenly furious again, "Good for nothing Fang Shicai, you must be a quack! Jingjing cannot bear children, how is it possible for her to be pregnant!"

Fang Shicai contemptuously glanced at the junior imperial physicians kneeling behind him before he calmly said, "Emperor, the Princess’s pulse is flowing smoothly and responds roundly under the fingers, as if rolling pearls. I have been practicing medicine for many years and I am willing to stake my life that it is indeed a slippery pulse, and the Princess is truly pregnant."

When someone’s willing to stake their life, there must be no doubt about the good news.

The Emperor of Xiyun, after being stunned, furrowed his brows and looked confusedly towards the still pale An Jing, "Weren’t you barren...?"

An Jing, rarely annoyed with the Emperor of Xiyun, retorted, "Who said I was barren?!"

The Emperor choked and still didn’t understand, "Last year, when you and Yi Er married, my informants reported to me that you were a Stone Woman... Doesn’t that mean you can’t conceive?"

An Jing knew that the misunderstanding arose because she hadn’t had her period before, but she still replied irritably, "After I married my husband, I ate well, drank well, my husband cherishes me, and I was happy. Then, my period came back!"

The Emperor of Xiyun: "..."

Others: "..."

Only Xiao Changyi’s lips were barely curving into a smile.

Fang Shicai quickly came back to his senses and truthfully said, "The Princess shows signs of potential miscarriage, and needs to quickly take the medicine for sustaining pregnancy. Boil three bowls of water down to one, take it three times a day, for three days."

Xiao Changyi, hearing this, was so frightened that he immediately said, "Then write the prescription quickly!" The child’s loss is a minor matter, but if his wife’s health is compromised, it would be a serious issue. Miscarriage could be very harmful to the body!

"Yes."

Fang Shicai did have a standard prescription for sustaining pregnancy, but considering it was An Jing’s first pregnancy and she had some internal weakness, he added a few more herbs to the prescription. Then, he handed the prescription to Meng Zhuqing and asked him to quickly go to the Imperial Hospital to grab the medicine and brew it.

Vice General Meng ran extremely fast. He had just been carried on the back and had deeply felt the rush, and his old bones had almost been jolted apart.

An Jing, just hearing that she showed signs of potential miscarriage, was also scared. She had always been looking forward to having a child with her husband. However, seeing Meng Zhuqing taking the prescription to get the medicine, she felt slightly relieved.

Only after drinking the first dose of the medicine for sustaining pregnancy did An Jing fully settle down.

As for the Emperor of Xiyun, after being rebuffed by An Jing, he stood in stunned silence for a while, then, when he returned to his senses, his heart swelled with joy and he rewarded everyone at Fenghua Palace, except for those imperial physicians who had not told the whole truth.

Among those rewarded, especially Doctor Fang, received the most, causing those imperial physicians who had not been truthful to turn green with envy.

Outside Fenghua Palace, the ladies who were waiting to offer their children for adoption to An Jing and Xiao Changyi heard that An Jing was pregnant, and their faces felt as though they had been harshly slapped, burning with shame.

Of course, they felt even more played by Concubine Yu!

An Jing’s inability to conceive was something Concubine Yu mentioned during the Emperor of Xiyun’s birthday feast, and the adoption was news given by Concubine Yu as well. It was all Concubine Yu... From now on, they would not show Concubine Yu or her family’s people the slightest bit of friendliness!
