"Ms. Lin... I am bringing you into the palace today for no other reason than to ask if you still remember what you said to me before?"

Concubine Xiao opened her mouth slowly and seemed to be hesitant to speak, but her anxious eyes showed that she could not wait any longer.

When Lin Acai arrived, she had figured out the Imperial Concubine's thoughts, and she came prepared and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have carefully calculated it for you on the way here. This month is just right. I will help you take a closer look later."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao nodded with a smile and signaled the most capable palace maid beside her to dismiss the attendants and stand guard outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching the bedroom.

After a while, Lin Acai and Concubine Xiao were the only ones left in the bedroom.

Because Concubine Xiao was pregnant, Lin Acai could no longer inject her with anesthetic injections as usual, so she could only spend more time and use hypnosis to bring her into the operating room in the space.

After entering the space, Lin Acai immediately arranged a four-dimensional color ultrasound for Concubine Xiao.

She first performed a detailed abnormality check on the fetus, and after finding that everything was normal, she held her breath and made a diagnosis of the fetus's gender.

Although she did not belong here, she was well aware of the torment that Concubine Xiao was feeling deep in her heart at this moment.

Almost every woman who entered the palace, without exception, dreamed of giving birth to a little prince for the emperor.

Because only the prince is qualified to inherit the throne.

Ascend to the supreme throne.

To take a step back, even if she did not have the chance to climb to the pinnacle of power, if she took good care to raise the prince and granted him a fiefdom in the future, even if she lost the emperor's protection in the future, she could still live a good life under the protection of her son.

Lin Acai looked at the woman in front of her who was in a light sleep, and a picture of this person, trapped and helpless in this deep palace many years later, slowly emerged in her mind.

She couldn't help but tremble in her heart!

For some reason, she felt sad seeing her miserable old age.

Even the baby girl in her belly contracted without any warning.

Fortunately, after a while, Lin Acai finally saw the gender of the baby in Concubine Xiao's belly.

It's actually a handle...

It seems that everything went smoothly and she was just worrying too much.

When she brought the patient out of the operating room again, Lin Acai looked calm and whispered gently into Concubine Xiao's ear: "Congratulations, Your Majesty... You got what you wished for..."

The voice was very soft and shallow, but Concubine Xiao heard it clearly, and her eyes were full of joy and excitement.

"Ms. Lin...you mean me..."

Without waiting for the rest of the words to be said, Lin Acai looked at the woman in front of her with a firm gaze and nodded slowly.

The palace is full of dangers. As much as the woman in front of her is looking forward to the baby in her belly, there are also people who are scheming to make the child disappear completely.

Therefore, Lin Acai did not want to create any more trouble and let the baby in the imperial concubine's belly be plotted against by more people.

"...My queen, you must not let anyone else know about this. In the coming months, you must be extra careful with your food and other things. You must not leave any opportunity for anyone to take advantage of you."

After Lin Acai said this, she couldn't help but shake her head silently in her heart.

If it were any other time, she would never have said such a thing, but today, ever since she stepped into this bedroom, the little girl in her belly has never been quiet. She always felt uneasy in her heart, and only after she said these words did she feel better.

Concubine Xiao was a very smart person, so when Lin Acai said this, she naturally understood what she meant.

She held Lin Acai's hands tightly again and said tremblingly:

"Miss Lin, I am worried about you... Just as you thought, my father and brother are both in southern Xinjiang suppressing the rebellion. It is hard to predict whether they will live or die. I don't know how many people are waiting for the fall of our Jingyuan Marquisate. When you are alone in this place where people are eaten without leaving any bones, there are many things that you can't tell anyone and can only rot in your heart..."

"My Lady Concubine...I believe your father and brother will return victoriously. You must protect yourself and the baby in your belly now."

When mentioning the baby in her belly, Concubine Xiao's eyes suddenly became darker.

"...Now that I think about it, my brother has not yet married. If something unexpected happens to him, I can't imagine how my mother would be able to bear it."

As soon as Concubine Xiao finished speaking, the little girl in Lin Acai's belly became restless again.

She had no choice but to pull her coat closer, deliberately covering the bulge on her belly, and continued to comfort and persuade: "Your Highness, please don't scare yourself again. In my opinion, the prince will have a long life and will definitely return in triumph, give birth to many children for the Jingyuan Marquis's mansion."

After listening to Lin Acai's words, Concubine Xiao felt much better and finally smiled. "Actually, there is another reason why I summoned you to the palace today. I have read the account books of Xiaoji Medical Clinic and after thinking about it, I think it would be safer to get you to invest in it."

Get her to invest?

Lin Acai raised her head silently and stared at Concubine Xiao with some confusion.

It was obvious that Concubine Xiao had something else to say: "To be honest, I have taken over this Xiaoji Medical Clinic for five years, but the total income in these five years is less than your income in less than half a year."

At this point, she changed the subject, sighed, and continued, "Miss Lin is a capable person. I'm afraid the reason you're willing to stay in my clinic is because you're pregnant. If the child is born, I don't think my clinic will be able to keep you."

At this point, Lin Acai already understood the general idea.

So, she kept silent, which was considered as her tacit agreement with Concubine Xiao's idea.

"Ms. Lin... I'm trying to get you to invest, so don't refuse... Someone come here!" Concubine Xiao said jokingly, and then called out in a low voice.

Then the little palace maid pushed the door open, ran to the inner room, opened the cabinet, took out the tray that had been prepared in advance, lowered her head and held it in front of Lin Acai.

Lin Acai looked at the stack of more than a dozen silver bills and was stunned for a moment.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Xiao hurriedly explained, "Miss Lin... this is 50% of the profits of Xiao's Medical Clinic in the past six months, no more, no less, exactly 60,000 taels. The banknotes are all here, and it's just right for you to take them out of the palace today."

Sixty thousand taels?

Looking at the pile of banknotes, Lin Acai took a breath and her chest began to pound.

Before, according to the monthly salary of other doctors in the clinic, she received a total of 6,000 taels of silver.

If we add the 60,000 taels in front of us, that would be 66,000 taels.

Sixty-six thousand taels! ?

Listen, the numbers are pretty auspicious.

If she had this money, she could buy a bigger house in Kyoto and settle down here.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt that everything had hope, and her heart calmed down.

"Obedience is worse than respect. I will follow your majesty's arrangements in everything..."
