However, Gu Qinlan herself suffered a great loss. Although the Fourth Prince's wife was slender, the force of her fall should not be underestimated. She only felt a sharp pain, as if she would faint at any time.

Everyone was shocked, and after they realized what was happening, they all came forward to support the Fourth Prince's wife and Gu Qinlan.

The Fourth Prince's wife was still in shock, but she soon regained her composure, holding her stomach and crying out in pain: "Ouch, my stomach, my stomach hurts so much."

Her maids were immediately in a panic, screaming, "Princess, what happened to you? Quick, go get the imperial physician and escort the princess back to the palace!"

Gu Qinlan struggled to stand up, holding her chest and saying with difficulty: "It's too late. We happen to have a female doctor in our house. Quick, go and get Miss Mei."

The Fourth Prince's wife had finally seized this opportunity, so how could she let it go easily? She winked at the maids, signaling them to take her away quickly.

However, the next moment, Meiyun appeared hurriedly with a medical box on her back.

When the maids of the Fourth Prince's wife saw Mei Yun, they immediately protected her tightly among them.

"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous! Get out of here right now! If you offend the Fourth Prince's wife, you'll lose your life!"

My master has spent a lot of effort to get this opportunity, how can he let others easily destroy this careful plan?

Meiyun was, after all, a girl from a remote place. Faced with the scoldings from these maids who had been trained in the strict palace rules, she was so frightened that she dared not take another step forward.

How could Gu Qinlan let them succeed? She stepped forward resolutely, pushed away the maid who was blocking her way, and said in a scorching and resolute tone: "What moment is it now? You are still sticking to those old rules! Can't you see that your master is in pain? If something happens, how many heads will you have to pay? Your lives may be insignificant, but the life of this county master is extremely precious!"

"Miss Mei, what are you still standing there for? Come over and diagnose the Fourth Prince's wife."

Mei Yun stepped forward immediately.

The maids hurriedly tried to stop them: "The Fourth Prince's wife is so precious, how can you, a person of unknown identity, leave immediately!"

Gu Qinlan asked gloomily, "What is your intention? The Fourth Prince's Consort is in such pain, and you are actually preventing the good doctors in my house from healing her. Are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to harm the Fourth Prince's Consort?"

"It must be so, otherwise how could the footstool suddenly break! Not only did you plot to frame the Fourth Prince's wife, you also wanted to take the opportunity to put the blame on our Prince Duan's Mansion. You really have evil intentions!"

After she finished speaking, she shouted loudly: "Come here, arrest these maids who are plotting against the Fourth Prince's wife!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Qian immediately led several guards and stepped forward to subdue the maids.

The fourth prince's wife couldn't help but shout loudly: "How dare you..."

Gu Qinlan immediately interrupted her: "Don't panic, Princess Fourth Prince. I'm here, you will be safe!"

"Miss Mei, come to the rescue quickly!"

Mei Yun hurried forward.

The Fourth Prince's wife was unwilling to cooperate and glared at Mei Yun with a warning look: "Don't touch me!"

Gu Qinlan remained unmoved. She grabbed the Fourth Prince's wife's wrist, held her down tightly, and held her in her arms, being very careful not to let her touch the cold floor.

"Miss Mei, diagnose quickly! Don't delay treatment!"

Mei Yun looked at Gu Qinlan with a complicated look, gritted her teeth, and resolutely took the pulse of the Fourth Prince's wife.

The Fourth Prince's Consort struggled hard but could not get rid of Gu Qinlan's restraints. Gu Qinlan comforted her in a soft but firm tone: "Fourth Prince's Consort, you don't have to be afraid. Don't worry, Miss Mei has extraordinary medical skills. Even if you only have a breath left, she can save you."

"You are too much!"

The Fourth Prince's wife was so angry that she was shaking all over. She never expected that her noble status would be humiliated like this by Gu Qinlan.

Just as she was about to get angry, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and then fell into coma.

At this moment, the Fourth Prince arrived in a hurry.

"What are you doing!"

When the maids of the Fourth Prince's wife saw their savior, they cried for help: "Your Highness, save us."

Gu Qinlan took the lead and said, "Your Highness, your maid actually intended to do something bad to the Fourth Prince's wife. Not only did she tamper with the footstool, causing her to fall, she also tried to stop me from rescuing her."

"The poor Fourth Prince's wife couldn't bear this cruel blow and fainted from anger."

Gu Qinlan acted as if he was seeking credit.

The Fourth Prince's face was extremely ugly. He barely suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your concern, County Lord. However, I'm afraid there are some misunderstandings. I will take the Princess back to the palace right now. You don't need to bother me anymore."

In today's political conspiracy, he suffered a complete defeat. Under the pressure, he must immediately take the Fourth Prince's wife away from here, so as not to fail in his plan and accidentally reveal the secret he has been hiding.

At this moment, Mei Yun suddenly announced loudly: "Good news! The Fourth Prince's wife is pregnant for one and a half months."

Gu Qinlan immediately followed up the conversation and asked with concern: "Really? Miss Mei, you didn't make a wrong diagnosis, did you? Is the Fourth Prince's wife really pregnant?"

Mei Yun responded somewhat displeasedly: "The pulse of happiness is such an obvious sign that even ordinary people can detect it. If I make a mistake in such a small matter, how can I continue to practice medicine?"

Gu Qinlan quickly explained: "I am not questioning your medical skills, but I am worried about the health of the Fourth Prince's wife. She just experienced a great shock, and I don't know if the fetus in her belly is safe. This is the legitimate heir of the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's wife. It concerns the royal bloodline, and there must be no mistakes."

Mei Yun's expression eased slightly, and she consoled him, "County Lady, there is no need to worry too much. The Fourth Prince's wife is in good health. Although she was frightened just now, the fetus is very stable and there is no problem at all."

Gu Qinlan was delighted after hearing this, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is really great news."

She turned around and announced to the people around her: "Did you all hear? The Fourth Prince's wife is pregnant!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and congratulated the Fourth Prince: "Congratulations, Fourth Prince. Congratulations on your promotion to become a father. This is truly a joyous event!"

At this time, Madam Zhao and several noble ladies were walking out of Prince Duan's Mansion. When they heard Gu Qinlan's words, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

"Didn't they say that it would be difficult for the Fourth Prince to have children? How come the Fourth Prince's wife is pregnant?"

Madam Zhao explained with a serious face: "You can't say that. Having difficulty in having children doesn't mean you can't have children at all. The Fourth Prince and his wife are blessed with great fortune, so it's only natural for them to get pregnant."

After saying this, she took the lead in congratulating the Fourth Prince.

The other ladies followed suit and vied with each other to congratulate.

Although Si was extremely angry in his heart, he had to put on a smile on the surface. It was really difficult for him to show his happiness, so he just responded hastily: "Thank you ladies, I must return to the palace with the princess immediately, and take my leave now."

The Fourth Prince carried the Fourth Prince's wife, who was not yet fully awake, into the carriage and hurried away with the group.
