After the flower viewing was over, everyone went back to their respective places. Xia Dongchun and Concubine Borjigit returned to the Yanxi Palace together. It had been a few days since they had seen Ling Yuan, so Concubine Borjigit came to see her.

Yin Zhu brought the tea and snacks, put them down, and quietly retreated, leaving space for the masters to talk.

Borjigit looked at Yin Zhu's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh: "I think Yin Zhu is a useful person. He doesn't talk much, but he is efficient and has good judgment. He seems to be much better than the former Qi Ling."

"Yin Zhu is indeed obedient." Xia Dongchun took a sip of tea. When she mentioned these serving maids, she couldn't help but think of Bai Yu beside Noble Lady Fucha. "Sister, I think there is no one in this palace more stupid than Noble Lady Fucha."

"What do you mean?" Although Noble Lady Borjigit knew that the two of them did not get along and she did not like Noble Lady Fucha, she still asked out of courtesy and let Xia Dongchun continue.

Xia Dongchun put down the teacup and said, "Ju'er and Sang'er, who were by Noble Lady Fucha's side, were successively sent to the Ministry of Punishment. She had no capable people around her, so she took a maid from the Empress. She was very happy all day long. People who didn't know her would think she got a great benefit."

After saying this, Xia Dongchun looked outside the room and saw that no one was coming. He lowered his voice and continued, "But if the Queen really cared about her and wanted to help her, why would she have pointed out a man with that name to her? Not only does she not realize that it's wrong, but she brings Bai Yu around every day, showing off to this person today and to that person tomorrow. It's really ridiculous."

Noblewoman Borjigit could speak Chinese, but he was not very good at writing Chinese, nor could he quite understand the meaning of these words. Only after Xia Dongchun reminded him did he gradually react.

Bai Yu...Bai Yu?!

Doesn’t that mean that Concubine Fucha will definitely not be able to give birth to this baby?

But Noble Lady Borjigit wondered if they were overthinking it. She believed that the Queen was not as kind as she appeared to be, but deliberately placing a maid with such a name next to Noble Lady Fucha was probably too childish. The Queen should not bother to do that, right?

Besides, wouldn’t this be a bit too obvious?

Xia Dongchun and Noblewoman Borjigit have been together for such a long time. She knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression. She smiled and said, "I am just guessing. But sister, if you say it is not intentional, this name is too coincidental."

"Forget it, let's not talk about her. No matter what the final result is, it is Noble Lady Fucha's own business. She is pregnant, so we just need to not provoke her or harm her. As for whether her child can be born safely, it is her own fate and has nothing to do with us." As Noble Lady Borjigit said this, she suddenly felt a little nauseous and covered her lips with her hands and dry heaved twice.

When Xia Dongchun saw it, he felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He just called Yin Zhu in a hurry: "Yin Zhu, go get the doctor."

Zisu helped Noblewoman Borjigit up and patted her back gently to calm her down.

Yunling quickly brought her warm water for her to rinse her mouth.

Seeing that her expression had eased a little and she seemed to be able to speak, Xia Dongchun hurriedly asked, "Sister, what happened? Did you eat something bad? Or was it because the weather was cold these past two days and you caught a cold?"

Nobleman Borjigit shook his head: "I don't know what happened, I just felt sick suddenly."

Yun Ling was the first to react, and she exclaimed in surprise: "This...Is this a sign of pregnancy?"

This statement awakened Xia Dongchun, and she finally remembered why she felt that she had seen the scene before somewhere - wasn't it just her?

Xia Dongchun was even happier than the noble Borjigit: "This is good news, sister!"

Fortunately, nobleman Borjigit was relatively calm. Although he had expectations in his heart, he still said, "We are just guessing. We have to wait for the imperial physician to come to know everything. If we guess wrong, wouldn't it be a false alarm?"

Xia Dongchun didn't care: "Sister, you are very lucky, for sure!"

As they were talking, Yin Zhu came back with the imperial physician.

The imperial physician was a stranger. He didn't dare to look at them when he came. He knelt down and saluted first: "I pay my respects to the noble lady Zhao and the noble lady Borjigit."

"You look unfamiliar, as if I have never seen you before." Xia Dongchun was puzzled and asked subconsciously.

The imperial physician replied respectfully, "I am Xu Zhiyun, your humble servant. I have just been transferred here from my post in Henan. Imperial Physicians Li and Zhang, who usually diagnose and treat the two young ladies, are off duty today. I happened to be here when Miss Yinzhu went to the Imperial Hospital. When I heard that the young ladies were unwell, I followed them here."

"I see. I'll trouble you, Lord Xu." Xia Dongchun nodded, indicating that he understood. "Please show it to Lord Borjigit."

Xu Zhiyun took out the pulse pillow and the square handkerchief. After everything was ready, he took the pulse of Borjigit. He raised his eyes and glanced casually. His eyes froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal and he began to make a detailed diagnosis.

After a long while, just when Xia Dongchun was wondering whether the new imperial physician was not skilled enough and could not diagnose the case, and whether he should replace him with someone else, Xu Zhiyun spoke.

"Congratulations, my lady. Congratulations, my lady. You are more than two months pregnant."

"Are you telling the truth?" Nobleman Borjigit was surprised and happy, his eyes widened.

"What I said is absolutely true. Since it concerns the descendants of dragons, I would never dare to speak nonsense." Xu Zhiyun replied.

"Look what I said?" Xia Dongchun said cheerfully, "I said you are so lucky, sister, you must be pregnant!"

Xu Zhiyun explained some more things that needed attention and then withdrew. According to the rules, he still had to go to the Yangxin Palace and Jingren Palace to report back and could not delay.

After Xu Zhiyun left, after the joy, worry inevitably surfaced in Xia Dongchun's heart. She thought of all the things that had happened to her while she was pregnant with Ling Yuan, and the smile on her face faded a little.

"Sister, you are pregnant. I am so happy. Someone can keep Ling Yuan company, but..." Xia Dongchun pursed her lips and held Borjigit's hand. "But even though we are happy, other people in the palace may not be as happy as we are."

How could Lady Borjigit not know what Xia Dongchun meant? Hearing this, she also sighed: "Of course I know this, just look at how you were tormented when you were pregnant. All we can do now is to do our best."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Xia Dongchun felt that this idea was too depressing, and quickly changed her words, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. We can definitely ensure that the baby in your belly is born safely. I am still waiting for the baby in your belly to accompany Ling Yuan."

At the same time, Noble Lady Fucha and An Lingrong were both in the Yanx Palace, so Xia Dongchun's invitation for the imperial physician could naturally be concealed from them.
