Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 1172: Pregnancy (128 million reward points plus more)

"Who would notice a fool who disrespected the imperial concubine, angered the emperor, and was beheaded on the spot by His Majesty?"

"Who would go into the details and ask if there was someone behind him giving him a hint?"

Xiao Tianzi looked at the heart-pounding cold light in Wang Bin's eyes and felt as if his heart was being gripped by an icy hand, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He opened his mouth and said, "But... after all, she is Concubine Chen... What if someone finds out..."

"No buts!"

Wangpin's voice suddenly dropped, carrying an unquestionable command: "Keep today's events to yourself!"

"Remember, you know nothing, you see nothing, you hear nothing. Do you understand?!"

Xiao Tianzi lowered his head deeply: "Slave...slave understands!"

……

Inside the Zhai Niao Xiangyun tent, the warm fragrance dispelled the chill that seeped in through the gaps in the door curtains.

Shen Zhinian leaned back on a soft couch covered with thick snow-white fox fur, closing his eyes to rest.

She was wearing a beautiful palace dress, which made her face look like jade, but with a barely perceptible hint of weariness.

"My lady, Doctor Tang is here."

After Fuqiu finished her report, the curtain was gently opened a crack, and a tall figure walked in.

Tang Luochuan had been waiting nearby, and only now did he have the chance to enter Shen Zhinian's tent.

He knew that Shen Zhinian had faked his death. He had helped prepare the blood bags and had acted with them to deceive everyone.

Tang Luochuan originally thought that this was a sure-win encirclement and suppression campaign.

But he never expected that the sudden appearance of the Huns would disrupt all his plans and cause the queen to disappear for a whole night.

Fortunately, the queen came back safe and sound!

Tang Luochuan's heart was filled with turmoil, but he did not show it on his face. He knelt down respectfully and saluted: "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"

Shen Zhinian said gently, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, empress."

After Tang Luochuan stood up, he walked straight to the couch and half-knelt down slowly.

He opened the rosewood medicine box he carried with him, took out a white silk handkerchief, covered Shen Zhinian's outstretched wrist, and then gently placed his fingers on it.

For a moment, the tent was so quiet that the only sound was the subtle crackling of the burning silver frost charcoal in the charcoal basin.

Tang Luochuan lowered his eyelashes, his whole mind focused on the three fingers that were taking the pulse, feeling the steady and powerful beating of the pulse under his fingers.

As time passed, the lingering gloom and tension between Tang Luochuan's brows gradually dissipated.

He slowly withdrew his hand, and the breath he had been holding finally came out silently: "Your Majesty's pulse is stable, but your Qi and blood are slightly deficient. This is due to shock and fatigue. There is nothing serious."

"I'll prescribe a prescription to calm the mind and replenish the qi. You can take care of it for a few days."

Shen Zhinian then slowly opened his eyes: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Tang."

"Your blood pack was made perfectly. No one noticed the flaw. Otherwise, the plan of your majesty and I would not have been so successful."

Tang Luochuan's fingers, which were packing the medicine box, paused slightly.

The blood bags were specially made by him using a mixture of several rare medicinal materials. They had to be realistic in color and smell, while also ensuring that they were harmless to anyone who came into contact with them.

Hearing Shen Zhinian mention it lightly at this moment, Tang Luochuan did not feel complacent at all, but only felt a deeper fear.

Although Concubine Chen's tone was calm, he was aware of the danger involved.

A slight mistake could lead to eternal damnation...

Tang Luochuan's voice remained flat, but it was a little deeper than before: "It is my responsibility, I dare not take credit for it."

"It is a blessing that the queen is safe and sound."

In this chess game where his life was at stake, he finally cooperated with Concubine Chen and won the most dangerous move.

Tang Luochuan closed the medicine box.

Shen Zhinian was still leaning in the soft fox fur, but her eyes did not move away, but instead fell on her flat belly.

A barely perceptible trace of confusion flashed across those quiet fox eyes.

She was silent for a moment, and when she spoke again, her voice was still steady, but with a kind of inquiry that only she understood: "Doctor Tang, besides the slight deficiency of Qi and blood, are there any other abnormalities in my body?"

Tang Luochuan was about to stand up and leave when he paused and looked up at Shen Zhinian: "What do you mean, Madam?"

Shen Zhinian met his gaze and directly asked the doubts in Pan Huan's heart: "It has been a long time since I took off the bracelet."

"Given my physical condition, I should have noticed some movement long ago. Why is there still no sign of anything on my pulse?"

It is an indisputable fact that she is fertile.

Since she decided to have another royal heir to consolidate her position and completely cut off the thoughts of certain people, Shen Zhinian took off the contraceptive bracelet.

Judging from the time, she should have been pregnant a long time ago.

But her period was on time and she did not have any special symptoms.

This doesn't make sense.

Tang Luochuan's brows knitted slightly and he fell into a brief contemplation.

The pulse of Concubine Chen just now was indeed clear, slow and strong, which is a typical sign of infertility in the uterus.

He carefully recalled the records of every time he checked Shen Zhinian's pulse.

The Empress's physique is indeed as she said, very easy to conceive.

Moreover, there were no setbacks when she was pregnant with the fourth prince.

"Reply to the Queen."

Tang Luochuan's voice was more serious than before, with the caution of a doctor facing the unknown. "Judging from the pulse, your uterus is full of Qi and blood, and the Chong and Ren meridians are in harmony. There are no obvious signs of obstacles to pregnancy."

"Physical condition... is also normal."

This was what confused him.

The pulse shows that Concubine Chen is in good health and has all the conditions for conception.

But the fact is that there is no such thing.

Shen Zhinian's fingertips paused on the fox fur, and the confusion settled in her eyes, turning into a deeper solemnity: "If so, why?"

Her voice was still low, but it carried a question that could not be avoided.

This concerns Shen Zhinian's next plan.

Tang Luochuan met her scrutinizing gaze, and a rare hint of inexplicable hesitation appeared on his handsome face.

He has been practicing medicine for many years and has specialized in gynecology. He is confident that he knows the mechanism of female pregnancy very well.

But in the current situation of Concubine Chen, it seemed that all the conditions were met, except for the opportunity that gave her the final push.

It makes no sense.

"This……"

Tang Luochuan considered his words carefully: "I can't explain it at the moment. Maybe... the opportunity has not come yet?"

"Or perhaps Your Majesty has been overworked lately, causing her mind to become agitated and affecting the flow of Qi and blood into the meridians."

Apart from that, he could not find any source of obstruction in Concubine Chen's pulse.

Seeing the doubts in Shen Zhinian's eyes that had not dissipated, Tang Luochuan could only give the most prudent advice: "Although your majesty's health is good, suppressing the rebellion this time is exhausting. Why not follow the prescription I prescribed and rest for a while?"

"Once your qi and blood have completely calmed down and your mind is at peace, perhaps... the opportunity will naturally come."
