Chapter 40: Indigestion

Reporting to Concubine Hua: Concubine Xin is not pregnant.

After hearing this, Xin Changzai felt a little disappointed and relieved. She had just brought Linglong to her side and really didn't want to get pregnant with another child. Moreover, she didn't have the power to fight against the Queen yet. If she got pregnant with this child, her and Linglong's life would definitely be filled with many risks.

Hua Fei was also a little disappointed after hearing this. In her previous life, she had never been pregnant and had never made friends with others. Now that she had so many sisters who treated her sincerely, she was still looking forward to the birth of a child.

"Then why is Concubine Xin retching non-stop?" Concubine Hua asked.

"I would like to ask if Xin Chang has been eating supper lately?"

When Xin Chang heard Wen Shichu's words, she thought about it and her face suddenly turned red. Recently, she and Linglong would indeed have some fruit cakes before going to bed at night.

Linglong is greedy and eats snacks every day. Seeing Linglong eating so happily, I couldn't help but eat more.

Seeing Xin Changzai blushing and lowering her head in embarrassment, Hua Fei knew that Wen Shichu's diagnosis was indeed correct. Hua Fei rolled her eyes speechlessly at Xin Changzai.

"It's not advisable to eat too much before going to bed, otherwise it will be difficult to digest. It's cold today, and I think it's because Xin Chang came out and was blown by the cold wind, plus there was too much food in her stomach, which caused her to retch."

Wen Shichu observed the expressions and told the truth.

So, Xin often vomits because she eats too much at night and has difficulty digesting it.

Xin often just lowered her head and looked at her own clogs, as if she could see through them.

Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang were holding their handkerchiefs to try to hold back their laughter.

"You are my mother's person now, but you don't know how to take care of yourself, and you are greedy like Linglong."

Hua Fei complained mercilessly, and even felt a little regretful. She used to think that Xin Changzai in her previous life was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, and she had become friends with her early on in this life. Now it seems that Xin Changzai might really be a pig, and she was overthinking.

Now that we are in the same boat, it is probably impossible to distance ourselves from the matter.

"Please trouble Doctor Wen to take another look at Sister Shen."

Since Concubine Xin caused a misunderstanding, people were no longer so optimistic about Shen Meizhuang.

Wen Shichu felt Shen Meizhuang's pulse according to etiquette, and then knelt down to congratulate them: "Congratulations, Lady Shen. Although I am a humble official with limited knowledge, judging from her pulse, Lady Shen is indeed pregnant."

The calm mood of the crowd was disturbed again.

"It's been a few months, maybe you can tell?" asked Concubine Hua.

"Replying to Concubine Hua, it should be more than a month."

"I heard that a woman will not have oral sex until three months after she is pregnant, but Concubine Shen just retched and the fetus is not stable." Concubine Jing asked worriedly. Shen Meizhuang was someone in her palace, so she had to take better care of her.

"Returning to the Imperial Concubine, it should be fine. Perhaps some smell just now offended Concubine Shen, or perhaps it was caused by Concubine Shen's conditioned reflex when she saw Concubine Xin retching. It should be fine."

Xin Changzai was originally very happy as all the attention had shifted to Shen Meiyu. Everyone finally stopped laughing at her. But now Wen Shichu was bringing up things that were irrelevant.

"Oh my, I didn't expect that I didn't get pregnant, but Sister Shen has good news. This Yiku Palace is really a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Congratulations, great joy." Xin Changzai hurriedly got up and walked to Shen Meizhuang, put one hand on Shen Meizhuang's shoulder, stroked Shen Meizhuang's belly with the other hand, and congratulated her again and again, just wanting to quickly change the subject.

Concubine Hua and Concubine Jing looked at each other. Concubine Xin's obvious caution was revealed in front of them, and they smiled helplessly.

When Shen Meizhuang heard that Xin Changzai was not pregnant, her expectations for herself were somewhat reduced. But when she heard Wen Shichu's words, she found it unbelievable that she already had a child in her belly.

Shen Meizhuang listened to Xin Chang's jokes and shyly lowered her head and touched her belly. This was her and the emperor's first child. Shen Meizhuang was extremely happy and cherished the child.

Concubine Hua was also very happy to hear the news that Shen Meiyu was pregnant. In her previous life, she and Cao Qinmo designed a fake pregnancy that caused Shen Meiyu to be confined to her house, and later they secretly caused her to be infected with an epidemic. She had committed such sins in her previous life, and the arrival of this child in this life could be considered to have paid off her sins.

Hua Fei was happy for a moment, but then she became worried

In the previous life, any pregnant woman in the harem would have a miscarriage. Concubine Xin had a miscarriage, Concubine Fang had a miscarriage, Concubine Fucha had a miscarriage, Concubine Wan had a miscarriage, and herself, Concubine Jing, and Concubine Duan were all unable to get pregnant due to various calculations.

It is extremely difficult to give birth to a child safely in this palace.

Even in this life, before he was reborn, Concubine Xin had already had a miscarriage, and Concubine Fang of Sui Yuxuan was also banished to the cold palace because of a miscarriage.

Looking at Shen Meizhuang in front of her, stroking her belly carefully, her eyes and brows filled with a mother's kindness, Hua Fei thought of her previous life, when the Emperor was very happy when he learned that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant, and it didn't seem like she was pretending. It seems that although Shen Meizhuang's father is the assistant commander of Jezhou and is in charge of Jezhou's military affairs, he will not be feared by the Emperor, so the Emperor can rest assured.

If he wanted to keep Shen Meizhuang's baby, he had to be on guard against the Queen.

Although Concubine Hua was reborn, she did not claim to be a good person. She treated Shen Meiyu kindly to atone for her evil deeds in the previous life, and on the other hand, she also hoped to win more connections for the Nian family. If the Nian family was still doomed to fall in this life, she hoped that the good deeds she had accumulated now could save the Nian family.

Thinking about these things, Concubine Hua asked what women in early pregnancy should pay attention to, and Wen Shichu answered them in detail one by one.

Thinking of the fake imperial physician Liu Ben whom she had found in her previous life, Concubine Hua decided to let Wen Shichu take care of Shen Meiyu until she gave birth in this life. In the previous life, Wen Shichu also lent a helping hand and saved Shen Meiyu's life when she was under house arrest. Concubine Hua was reassured by Wen Shichu's kindness and medical skills.

After thinking for a long time, Concubine Hua asked, "Sister Shen, are you planning to tell His Majesty the good news now?"

Shen Meizhuang is only a month pregnant now. According to Hua Fei's idea, she wants to keep it a secret for a while, and it would be better to tell the palace after three months when the pregnancy is stable. And now Hua Fei has no idea of ​​a good way to guard against the Queen.

It was not easy for Concubine Hua to directly tell Shen Meizhuang that based on her experience in her previous life, she guessed that the Queen was the captain of the abortion team, so Concubine Hua could only test Shen Meizhuang's feelings first.

"In my opinion, we should wait until the fetus is firmly seated in three months." Xin Chang retorted, thinking of the child she lost a few months ago.

Xin Changzai recalled that the moss pebbles in her palace had been tampered with, and that the rabbit sachet that Linglong was wearing was not taken off, but Xin Changzai replaced it with some ordinary spices.

Although all the evidence pointed directly to the queen, Ulanala was very powerful in the harem, and she had no conclusive evidence to prove that the queen was the murderer.

Thinking of this, Xin Changzai understood the deep meaning of Hua Fei's question. Nowadays, pregnant women in the palace still have a hard time walking, so it is better to be cautious in everything.

"Yes, if the emperor knew about this, he would have to mobilize a large army to protect your pregnancy. Now that Yu is the favorite, all eyes in the palace are on her. You might as well keep a low profile and use Yu's popularity to keep the child safe."
