The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

When the court doctor arrived, Chen Ke had already returned to bed, and Shen Yan was carried back to the room.

Only Wang Sanniang was left. The old women didn't know what to do with her and looked at Gu in embarrassment.

"Carry her to the back room." Gu didn't even think about caring about Wang Sanniang. In her eyes, she was just a maid, and it didn't matter whether she was dead or alive.

Chen Ke felt sorry when he saw his mother treating Wang Sanniang so casually.

Enduring the pain in his legs, he pointed to the beauty couch not far from the bed and said, "Mother, put Sanniang on the couch."

"Let the court doctor take a look at Sanniang later. Sanniang has been taking care of my son's personal affairs lately. If she is not well, my son will have trouble using other people."

Seeing that Chen Ke looked pale with pain but pleading, Gu's heart softened.

The family was unfortunate to marry a daughter-in-law like Shen Yan, who never had a good attitude towards her husband. If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have been tortured to death.

After examining Shen Yan, the court doctor reported back: "Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is having a miscarriage. Fortunately, the fetus is stable and there is nothing serious.

I'll prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for you to drink. Lie down and don't get up. You'll be fine in three days."

Gu clasped his hands together and chanted "Amitabha".

Chen Ke also felt relieved, as long as the child was okay.

The court doctor wanted to come forward to check Chen Ke's pulse, but Chen Ke refused: "I'm fine, I just fell down.

He laughed at himself, "As for these legs, no matter how you diagnose them, it's useless. A cripple is a cripple!"

He pointed at Wang Sanniang and said to the court doctor, "Take a look at her."

Chen Ke's words made Gu feel sad and uncomfortable. She signaled with her eyes to the court doctor to listen to Chen Ke and take Wang Sanniang's pulse.

The old woman beside her straightened Wang Sanniang's hand, lifted her sleeve, and covered her wrist with a handkerchief.

The court doctor took the patient's pulse with all his heart, using his right hand to hold the pulse while stroking his graying goatee with his left hand.

It took much longer than taking Shen Yan's pulse, so long that Gu became impatient. A maid was not worth her waiting so long.

Finally, the court doctor signaled the maid to put Wang Sanniang's hand away.

He bowed and saluted Chen Ke: "My Lord, this girl suffered a head injury. She is bleeding and looks scary, but she is actually stable. She should wake up soon.

But..." The court doctor began to stroke his goatee again.

"But what?" Chen Ke asked nervously.

"But this girl has been pregnant for more than a month. The pregnancy is still young, and I don't know if she can survive the injury."

The court doctor didn't dare to make a guarantee, and he didn't know whether the maid's child could be kept.

He has been working as a court physician in a wealthy family for more than a year or two, and has seen a lot of dirty things.

It has only been a few months since I was invited to the Duke's Mansion, and I am still unsure of the master's attitude towards servants.

When Chen Ke heard the court doctor say that Wang Sanniang was also pregnant, she was overjoyed and said, "Save her, you must save her for me."

If the child is safe and sound, this prince will reward you handsomely!"

The palace doctor considered and said, "I'm afraid we need to go to the Medicine King Palace to buy pregnancy-preserving pills."

When Gu saw Chen Ke so excited, she knew that the baby in Wang Sanniang's belly was also her grandson.

She was also happy. Naturally, the more children Chen Ke had, the better. Although Shen Yan had a stronger status, who knew whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl.

If it was a daughter, she would not be eligible for the title. Wang Sanniang's pregnancy was like having a double insurance.

"Doctor, listen carefully. No matter what good medicine it is, use it all. As long as my grandson is safe, I will do it at any cost!"

Gu also spoke, and Chen Ke felt relieved.

He looked at Wang Sanniang's profile with gentle eyes, then turned to Gu and asked, "Mother, can you let Sanniang live in the same room with me?

I know this is against the rules, but Sanniang used to sleep on this beauty bed when she took care of her son at night."

"Besides, she is pregnant now, and my son is afraid that Shen Yan, the vicious woman, will not let her go."

When Gu heard Chen Ke say this, her face became heavy.

She hadn't asked about what happened today, but judging from her son's attitude, Shen Yan might have done something unbearable.

She naturally agreed to Chen Ke's request, "Don't worry, Ke'er, I will personally send someone to confine Shen Yan to her room until the baby is born!"

Chen Ke finally felt relieved, but he didn't want to treat Wang Sanniang badly. After all, Sanniang was his only comfort since he broke his leg.

And now she is pregnant with his child. If she still works as a maid, she will inevitably be looked down upon.

"Mother, I have one more thing to ask of you." He began to ask, "I want to make Sanniang my concubine, firstly because Sanniang is also the daughter of an official family, and her character and talent are not inferior to Shen Yan.

It's just that my family has fallen into poverty and Shen Yan has taken control of my family, so I have no choice but to become a maid."

"Secondly, it's also for the baby in her belly. After all, the biological mother's family background is higher, and the child will be more valued by the father in the future."

Gu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Chen Ke was the heir to the Duke's Mansion whom she had carefully nurtured. If it weren't for his broken leg, he would have already been on the battlefield and made great achievements.

Why would he have to ask for my opinion even when choosing a concubine?

But today she had some good news. She came back to deal with all the big things and had not yet had time to tell her son.

The atmosphere of the conversation between mother and son was pretty good at the moment, and Gu wanted to make Chen Ke happy.

Then he said, "Ke'er, today I went to the Xuanping Marquis's Mansion, and your uncle told me a great piece of good news."

Chen Ke was puzzled. He hadn't seen Gu so happy since his leg became disabled.

Gu couldn't hold back her words, clapped her hands and said happily: "Your uncle said that he has contacted the number one disciple of the Poison Star Valley Master, Qingfeng Yaojun.

And after listening to your condition, Qingfeng Medicine Master said that he is 90% sure that he can cure your leg!"

Chen Ke's eyes lit up, then slowly dimmed. He had seen countless doctors in recent days, and he was full of hope every time he came, but it was obvious that they all ended in disappointment.

Gu seemed to see Chen Ke's worry and tried to explain: "This time is different from the past. Qingfeng Yaojun is the true successor of the Poison Star Valley and has received the true teachings of the Valley Master.

Your uncle said that he had personally witnessed the medical skills of Qingfeng Yaojun, and that he could really bring the dead back to life."

The uncle that Gu mentioned is the current Marquis Xuanping, who is Gu's brother from the same mother.

Moreover, Gu also has a biological sister who married into Prince Yu’s mansion and is Madam Xiao.

The three siblings are all from powerful and wealthy families, and they are all trying their best to find a doctor for Chen Ke.

After hearing what Gu said, Chen Ke couldn't help but look forward to it.

He had already imagined that after his leg injury healed, he would divorce Shen Yan from the Duke's Mansion and make his beloved Sanniang his first wife!

As for those who dare to covet his title, such as his half-brother Chen Chen, he naturally won't let them have an easy time!

Qingfeng Yaojun, the eldest disciple of the miracle doctor mentioned by the mother and son, was now furious in the Poison Star Valley.
