Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 162 - 162: Loyal Maid Who Died Because of Beauty (32)

Lu Heng spoke sternly in a threatening tone. "If something were to happen to the noble consort, then I can promise that your life will not be guaranteed."

Facing this kind of intimidation made the imperial physician's hands start to shake. He was afraid that he would really diagnose some serious illness later and that his own life would be lost just like this!

Being an imperial physician in the imperial palace is really a high-risk occupation that can make one easily lose their head at every turn. But the return received was also very large. It all depends on luck and skill.

Lu Heng stood by the side with his fists clenched in fear. Just looking at Yue Ran, who looked pale and as weak as a rustling leaf on a branch, made him feel so much unease at the moment.

The young emperor was afraid. He was really afraid that he would hear something that he really did not want to hear. And when he does hear it, he does not know what he will do, and he is sure that he will most definitely lose control of himself!

Tremblingly, the imperial physician reached out a hand to check Noble Consort Yue's pulse. He touched the wrist again and again, repeatedly. Every time he touched it, he would feel more and more excited! It seems that his luck was especially great today!

After confirming the pulse after many tests and checks, the imperial physician could firmly confirm that his head would still stay intact and connected to his body tonight. Not to mention that he would most definitely be greatly rewarded as well!

Therefore, the imperial physician got up and saluted the emperor as he said in a joyful tone, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Emperor. Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Emperor."

Lu Heng was dumbfounded when he heard the imperial physician congratulating him out of nowhere. He, like Chu Ning, never once had any hope in this life that Yue Ran would one day have his baby, the proof of the crystallization of their love. He also did not have hope that the young girl would give birth to a baby for him.

"Your Majesty, the noble consort is pregnant," the imperial physician said.

This sudden sentence that he had received rang in Lu Heng's ears and immediately knocked him dizzy. This was an unforeseen event, but a good unforeseen event!

Lu Heng, who recalled the words that the imperial physician had just said, shouted, "Say it again, what happened to the noble consort?"

The young emperor could hardly believe the news that he had heard!

"Your Majesty, the noble consort is pregnant," the imperial physician repeated with a joyful expression. The wrinkles on his face were about to cover his eyes. "It has been half a month."

Lu Heng's joy was beyond words. He jumped and clapped his hands excitedly, like a little kid getting the present that he wanted the most. It was a very childlike joy, full of pure innocence.

The young emperor laughed heartily. It was as if he wanted to show off his joy to the whole world as he said, "I am going to have a son. I am going to have a son. I am going to have a son! Ran Ran, we are going to have a son!"

Lu Heng was so excited that he did not see Chu Ning, the empress, next to him at all. Chu Ning could no longer maintain her graceful empress demeanor, and her legs turned weak as her body dropped to sit on the stool.

With a desolate smile on her face, Chu Ning was stuck in her own thoughts.

What about her own son? Is he not the emperor's child as well? The emperor already has three princes, so how could he just spout out those sentences as if he were going to have his first son?

Were all the three sons dead in his eyes? Could it be that the emperor just loved Noble Consort Yue so much that he would not take others into his eyes anymore?

At this moment, Chu Ning felt extremely terrified. She was afraid that the emperor would really disregard herself and her son, and then make the son born to Noble Consort Yue the crown prince! No, what should she do if it were so?

Lu Heng sat on the edge of the bed excitedly as he held on to Yue Ran's hand. His expression as he looked at the young girl was full of pure love and joy.

"Ran Ran, do you know? I thought that Ran Ran and I would never have a child in this life," Lu Heng said. "And I never would have imagined that God would still take pity on me. This child is so good. He came just at the right time. This is the first son that I have after I ascended the throne!"

Chu Ning was almost unable to bear the blow. Did the emperor really just say that the baby in Yue Ran's womb was his "first son"? So what about her, Chu Ning's, son?

The empress' face was full of pain. And as if that was not enough, Chu Ning heard the emperor repeat the three words that she now hated the most: "My first son!"

How could the emperor say so? It was a pity that the emperor did not see Chu Ning's current expression since he was so focused on the fact that his beloved was pregnant with his child. Only Yi Lin and Bai Ji saw the expression on Chu Ning's face.

Yi Lin did not expect that Yue Ran would be able to conceive before her, even with such an unhealthy, weak, and sick body! This is really unfair! If only Yue Ran had not taken Lu Heng's favor away from her, then there would have been no today!

In fact, only Yue Ran, who was in the room, knew that she was not pregnant at all. Everything was just an illusion fabricated by herself with the use of her great acting skills and her pulse-changing technique, which had reached a god level.

But the play still needs to be carried out to give heart and soul to this one-man show.

Everyone else in front of Yue Ran was just the audience that reacted to her grand performance.

Yue Ran lay on the bed with a blank and dazed expression. She concisely touched her stomach with a hand in a light movement and muttered to herself, "I actually have a baby."

Lu Heng held Yue Ran's hand with one of his hands, and the other hand covered her stomach. That hand gently stroked her still-flat belly.

"Yes, Ran Ran, we finally have a baby," the young emperor said with a mind still full of disbelief and joy.

Lu Heng, who had already given up hope, did not expect that such a big surprise would hit him in the head. And until now, he still could not calm down his excitement.

"I want to accumulate blessings for our child and make him the happiest and healthiest child after birth," Lu Heng said.

It was rare for Yue Ran not to refute Lu Heng. The young girl nodded, and at this moment, her motherly brilliance had infinitely magnified, and she appeared much more soft and gentle.

"Hmm." Yue Ran hummed lightly in agreement with Lu Heng's words.

Anyway, it was not her own things that would be wasted, so why would she care so much?

With the young girl's approval, the young emperor became even more excited as he quickly called out, "Wang Li."

"Your Majesty, this servant is here," Wang Li quickly answered. He did not expect that the noble consort could get pregnant with the emperor's child at this time. No matter what, it was a good thing anyway.

The happier the emperor is, the happier the servants below him will be.

"All the palace maids, the eunuchs, and the guards will be rewarded with one year of salary," Lu Heng said.

"This servant understands, Your Majesty," Wang Li answered back.

Who would not like such a good thing?

Lu Heng let out a little sigh as he said, "I can finally understand how my predecessor felt back then when he had his first son. I have decided to proclaim a general amnesty for all under heaven."

(*Proclaim a general amnesty for all under heaven: It means not to blame the past, no longer pursuing the past problems, and giving new opportunities to start over. The state reduces or exempts criminals from punishment in accordance with the law. But this amnesty is also limited and is not an act of generalization. In short, the country's imperial prisoners, like the political prisoners who argue and resist imperial power, are not within the amnesty.)

Lu Heng's latter sentence made everyone feel like they had received a hard blow and were thus stunned silly. They could not believe it.

The proclamation of the general amnesty for all under heaven is only available when the crown prince is appointed, so it could be imagined just how excited and happy Lu Heng was to receive the news of Yue Ran's pregnancy. Not even Yue Ran herself expected this to happen.

In fact, Yue Ran may have underestimated Lu Heng's affection for her a little too much. After all, what should she expect from the love of an emperor who has many beauties in his harem? Not to mention that he has a number of sons and daughters as well.
