Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Nie Wushuang controlled his emotions and carefully took Hai Lanshan's pulse. After just a few breaths, Nie Wushuang glanced at Hai Lanshan without leaving any trace. After a moment, his expression became slightly solemn. Lan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this: "Doctor Nie, is there something wrong?"

Nie Wushuang withdrew his hand and turned to Lan Qingwu, "Empress, Madam Zuo's body is weak due to long journeys, malnutrition, and fatigue. In the past, it was nothing, and she would be fine after some rest. However... Madam Zuo is now almost two months pregnant. You can see how pale and lifeless her face is, which is a symptom of both Qi and blood deficiency. After all the troubles and heavy worries, she is showing signs of a slight miscarriage!"

"what!"

"what?"

Hai Lanshan had a dazed look on her face, and was a little scared, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Lan Qingwu was more worried, but also thankful that this child was so lucky. She patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Didn't you notice anything? This was too dangerous. Fortunately, you have a good physical foundation! That's why nothing happened!"

Hai Lanshan came back to her senses: "I... really don't know! I thought... there were too many things going on recently, and I didn't react at all. I didn't expect..."

Lan Qingwu sighed, "You must take care of yourself. I'll arrange a sedan chair for you, and you should return to Heyun Palace to recuperate immediately. Doctor Nie, please write a prescription. I'll entrust Madam Zuo and her child to you! You must ensure that they are safe and sound. General, you should put the child first. I believe General Zuo will be very happy to know this!"

Hai Lanshan was at a loss for a moment, then calmed down. "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now!"

Nie Wushuang was also ordered to follow Hai Lanshan to Heyun Palace.

Hai Lanshan remained in the Imperial City for a month and a half, until the fetus was stable, before she set off to return to Floating Cloud City. Emperor Shenwu and Lan Qingwu had prepared a spacious and comfortable carriage for her. With the matter in Haicheng resolved, Hai Lanshan was no longer as anxious as she had been when she arrived, and she leisurely returned to Floating Cloud City.

However, it was only during this one and a half months that rumors began to spread in the harem.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were whispering to each other were all curious about who this woman was who had successfully entered the harem for the first time in so many years, or who she was to Emperor Shenwu.

"If you ask me, it must be His Majesty's lover outside the palace. Look, she's pregnant, and relying on that piece of flesh in her belly, she squeezed into the impregnable harem!" As for why the harem is impregnable, of course it's because it is strictly managed by the Empress! This was the voice of a young eunuch.

At this time, five or six palace maids and eunuchs gathered together in a corner of the imperial garden, chatting about palace gossip.

A young palace maid said, "This woman is quite impressive. Your Majesty hasn't even glanced at another concubine in years."

"What do you think the Queen will do?"

"What else can we do? We're living in Heyun Palace now. I guess it won't be long before the Empress will agree to let me live in the inner palace!"

"I think her position will definitely not be low. Think about it, it has been so many years and there has been no happy event in the palace!"

"That's true. The Seventh Princess is ten years old now! It's been ten years."

Another young eunuch asked in confusion, "You're right. The Empress is not infertile. Why hasn't she experienced pregnancy after all these years of enjoying the Emperor's favor?"

"Now that you put it that way, it really is..."

"Your Majesty and the Queen will definitely quarrel for a while!"

"Actually, the crown prince has already been chosen, so what if another concubine gets pregnant? This Empress..."

Suddenly someone shouted, "Who is talking nonsense there?"

Several young eunuchs and palace maids were frightened by the loud shout and trembled all over. They looked back and forth but didn't see anyone, so they scattered like birds and beasts in an instant!

Yun En hurried to the corner of the Imperial Garden, glanced around, then turned around and said respectfully: "Your Highness, it's a few eunuchs and palace maids gossiping. Do you want a servant..."

The prince walked forward slowly and waved his hand casually: "No need! Nonsense! It will collapse in a few days!"

Yun En whispered, "These people are truly blind! These rumors have only been circulating for a few days, and the damn thing is that they actually believe them!"

"Rumors stop with the wise! Anyone with a little bit of sense and a little bit of brains will know what's going on. Just think of it as a little fun thing between the Emperor and the Empress. We shouldn't interfere!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

The Crown Prince had just finished saying that anyone with a bit of common sense would not believe these rumors, and over there, Emperor Shenwu's half-brother, His Royal Highness Prince Kang, started drinking alone.

Prince Ding rushed to Chunfeng Restaurant and was led by the waiter into a room on the second floor.

As soon as Prince Ding entered, he hurriedly covered his nose and said in disgust, "Second brother, what are you doing? You fell into the wine vat."

The servants who followed him quickly closed the door and stood guard at the entrance.

Prince Ding sat far away from Prince Kang. "What's wrong? What trouble have you gotten yourself into? Is it worth being like this? It's been years since you've drunk this much..."

Prince Kang was drunk, his eyes red. He said suddenly, "She's been wronged again!"

Prince Ding: “…”

"No, what are you talking about? Who was wronged?"

King Kang stared with his red eyes and said word by word: "Another woman has entered the harem! And she is pregnant with the dragon seed. She must be very sad!"

King Kang: "..."

Okay, he understood it this time, but it also made him grit his teeth again.

"She's just stupid! For so many years, she only had eyes for that person! How could she be so stupid! She even had to personally welcome that woman into the palace!"

Prince Ding could no longer bear it and said, "Shut up! If you had a little more brains and a little more foresight, you wouldn't have come to this conclusion!"

King Kang drank the wine in his hand again: "You don't need to comfort me..."

Prince Ding began to grind his teeth again: "No, who the hell has time to comfort you..."

So stupid! I wish I could die of stupidity.

Prince Ding suddenly said, "No! Didn't you say you were no longer capable? Didn't you even refuse the marriage proposal from His Majesty? Why are you worrying about His Majesty's affairs again?"

The last sentence was almost growled out by Prince Ding. How long has this troublesome guy been able to live in peace?

"No! You're still like this, and you haven't given up on...!"

"Royal brother, my body is failing, but my heart is burning! I can't control my heart! As long as I see her well, I will be...satisfied! Please tell me how she has been doing in the palace these days."

"You really are a stubborn person!"

Prince Ding gnashed his teeth and said, "Give up on this idea! The Emperor and Empress are in love and have no doubts about each other, and it's all good! If you use your brains and listen carefully in the court, you'll know what happened in the previous dynasty! Even the seventh-rank officials know that woman came all the way from Liuyun City in the South Sea. She entered the palace on piracy matters. Since there was no residence for her in the imperial city, the Empress granted her special favor and allowed her to live in Heyun Palace, far away from the inner palace. As for the child in her belly, it's already two months old, two months old! Use your pig brain to think about it, how could she be carrying Your Majesty's dragon seed!"
