Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Time quickly came to the end of September.

Wanlin was already three months pregnant and the fetus was already firmly seated, so she no longer had to hide it.

Soon, the good news that Concubine Mu was more than three months pregnant spread from the Fourth Prince's backyard.

In the main courtyard, after Madam Hu carefully told Lady Fu Jin about this matter, Ulanara accidentally broke her favorite five-tailed phoenix hairpin.

This phoenix-head hairpin was a reward bestowed upon her by Empress Xiaoyi when she was still alive, after she chose her as the Fourth Prince's wife.

She likes this phoenix hairpin, not only because of its exquisiteness, but also because of the meaning it represents. It is a symbol of her identity.

When she saw the broken phoenix hairpin, she seemed to see her own heart broken as well.

"Pregnant...pregnant."

"She's pregnant again!"

"No wonder... No wonder the master hasn't allowed her to come to the main courtyard to pay her respects recently."

"I originally thought that the master doted on her too much and therefore disregarded my dignity. It turns out that he knew she was pregnant and protected her from coming to the main courtyard."

She laughed at herself, half crying and half laughing.

"Heh~"

"How is this not a slap in my face?!"

"It's fine that the concubine is pregnant, but she's hiding it from me, the principal wife. But the master is probably also on guard against me, worried that I might do something to her!"

"Master! You have such a cruel heart!"

"Why do you treat me like this? Am I not your wife?"

Ulanara held the broken phoenix hairpin tightly, and did not react even when the hairpin pierced her palm and drew scarlet blood.

Madam Hu's eyes turned red with worry, "Fujin."

"Don't think too much. The master will definitely not treat you like this."

"It's the concubine, yes! It must be the concubine who flirted with the master, which made the master act like this."

"And the baby in her belly. The master is a stickler for rules. He must be doing this because of the baby!"

Ulanara suddenly came to her senses.

"Correct!"

"child!"

"It must be because of the child!"

Thinking of her child, Ulanara felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and very anxious.

She has been married to the Fourth Master for several years, but there has been no news of pregnancy.

I took a lot of pregnancy medicine, but nothing happened!

Thinking of this, Ulanara became even more panicked.

The pressure on her was increasing.

She suddenly grabbed Mammy's hand.

"Mammy, I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant."

"How come they are all pregnant, but I am not yet pregnant?"

The first wife had just given birth to the eldest prince's eldest son, and the third wife was about to give birth.

The Fifth Prince's wife in the harem is not very favored, and her family background is ordinary, so she doesn't take her seriously. However, the Fifth Prince's concubine is already pregnant.

Even the Seventh Prince's backyard was not completely fruitless.

The concubine Nara who entered the backyard last year had been pregnant for a long time, but she was just a little princess and it was not made public.

When the Fourth Lady thought of this, she was so angry and anxious that she hit her stomach a few times.

Then she cried and whispered, "You are not doing your job well."

"Why are you so disappointing?"

"Everyone else is pregnant, why are you still not pregnant?"

Nanny Hu looked at her master who seemed to be in a bad mental state, and held her hands tightly as she beat her belly with heartache.

With tears streaming down her face, she advised: “Master, you are different.”

"You are still young, and you will have children sooner or later."

"Although the eldest princess is not registered under your name, she is still raised by you."

"She is your child too. Soon you will have your own biological child."

The Fourth Lady looked at the nanny with red eyes and asked expectantly.

"Are you serious, Mammy?"

"Is what you said true?"

"I'm sure I'll be able to have my own biological children, right?"

Aunt Hu nodded while crying.

"Yes!"

"The master will have his own children."

When the Fourth Lady heard Madam Hu's affirmative answer, she immediately smiled with satisfaction.

The anger in my heart also subsided.

Just as Madam Hu breathed a sigh of relief, she saw that her master had lost consciousness, fainted, and fell straight towards her.

She was so frightened that she immediately shouted, "House Doctor!"

"Quickly call the court doctor!"

"Fang Yun! The master has fainted, quickly call the palace doctor!"

When Fangyun, the maidservant of the Fourth Lady, heard that her mistress had fainted, she hurriedly replied, "Mammy, I'll go right away."

"You and Fang Qin take good care of the master. I will go and get the palace doctor now."

Aunt Hu: "Go quickly!"

After sending someone to call the palace physician, Matron Hu hurriedly and carefully carried Fu Jin to the bed with Fang Qin, Fang Yi and others.

Then Fang Ling screamed, "Mammy!"

Nanny Hu, who was already worried about her master, became even more furious when she heard Fang Ling's scream.

"You little bitch! What are you yelling about? Can't you see that the master is not feeling well?"

"If anything happens to the master, I will report you to the master and have you beaten to death!"

At this moment, Fang Ling was not afraid of what Madam Hu said at all.

She just pointed at the ground in panic, and then said to Mammy Hu: "Mammy, there is blood...on the embroidery stool!"

Nanny Hu ran towards Fang Ling in shock.

Then he saw a wet bloodstain on the green embroidered stool where the Fourth Lady had just sat.

Her heart skipped a beat and her legs went limp.

A bad guess appeared in her mind.

"Fangqin, when does the master's period usually occur?"

Fang Qin swallowed and said carefully, "The master's period usually occurs at the beginning of each month."

Madam Hu asked, "When is the Master's period this month?"

Fang Qin said in panic: "October 5th to October 7th."

Matron Hu glared at her with fierce eyes.

"Only three days?!"

"The master's menstruation has always been regular, usually about five days, why is it only three days this time!"

"Such an important matter, why didn't you report it?"

"Tell me! Were you bribed by someone and did this on purpose?!"

"If...if anything happens to the master, none of your parents and brothers will have an easy life!"

Fang Qin cried, "Mammy, you are wronged."

"My whole family serves the Ulanara family. How dare I betray my master?"

"Mammy, the master's menstrual period was short this time, and I reported it to the master immediately."

"But the master said it wasn't a big deal, and that maybe she was in a bad mood recently, so that affected her period."

Matron Hu was sure that Fang Qin did not intend to harm the master, so she let her go.

Fang Ling and Fang Yi, who were listening on the side, didn't dare to breathe.

Soon, Fangyun came in with Dr. He from the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Madam Hu immediately had someone take her to the Fourth Lady's bed and took her hand out from the tent.

Doctor He took the Fourth Lady's pulse and felt her pulse, his brows furrowed so much that he could pinch a fly to death.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand and told Madam Hu the diagnosis results.

The Fourth Lady was pregnant and had been pregnant for about two months.

However, the Fourth Lady had been worried too much recently, and her horny temper had been strong. In addition, her abdomen seemed to have been hit just now, so the fetus was extremely unstable and there was a risk of miscarriage at any time.

He also suggested to Madam Hu that it would be better for her to ask the imperial physician to take Fu Jin's pulse again, as he was not very sure about Fu Jin's pulse condition at the moment.

Now he could only prescribe medicine and try his best to stabilize Fu Jin's pregnancy.

But if you want the fetus to be safe until delivery, you need an experienced physician.
