Quick Transmigration: The Pregnant Little Fairy is Pampered by the Heirless Boss
Chapter 23 The General's Little Darling
Seeing this, the maid beside her said worriedly, "Madam, are you perhaps ill? Don't tell me you've caught a cold or eaten something bad."
Ji Xiaosong was also a little uneasy, wondering what the reason was.
[Ah Song, you're pregnant! And you're pregnant with four at once!]
Rongrong suddenly spoke up to remind him, and Ji Xiaosong finally realized what was happening.
When I woke up this morning, I was still feeling groggy from sleep.
"Have someone summon the imperial physician," Ji Xiaosong instructed, then sat down on the edge of the bed, one hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen, her expression a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Soon after, the imperial physician arrived in a hurry.
He first bowed to Ji Xiaosong, and then began to take her pulse.
The physician frowned slightly, a hesitant look on his face. He took the pulse several more times, but still couldn't be sure.
This... Wasn't General Xiao almost childless? How come Madam Xiao is actually pregnant?
If it weren't for the fact that everyone knew Madam Xiao rarely left her home, he would have been overthinking things.
The physician wiped the sweat from his brow and said cautiously, "Madam, please forgive my lack of medical skill, but this pulse resembles a pregnancy pulse, yet it is not entirely clear. To be on the safe side, you should consult the imperial physicians from the palace. They are more experienced and will surely be able to give you a definitive diagnosis."
Ji Xiaosong nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll trouble the physician to prescribe some remedies to help you recover. I'll arrange for someone to invite the imperial physician."
The physician agreed and hurried off to write a prescription.
This matter is indeed of utmost importance. Although she is absolutely certain of it, others are unaware of it.
Ji Xiaosong said to the maid beside her, "Go quickly and invite the general here. Tell him that I may be having health problems and that I need to ask the imperial physician to come to the mansion for a diagnosis."
The maidservant quickly replied, "Yes, Madam, I'll go right away."
A short while later, the maidservant hurriedly brought Xiao Shen over.
As soon as Xiao Shen entered the room, he asked anxiously, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
"My lord, the physician at the manor is not sure after taking my pulse. I think it would be better to ask the imperial physician to come to the manor to take a look before I feel at ease."
"Alright, Madam, don't worry, I'll go and arrange for the imperial physician to come to the manor."
Xiao Shen didn't have time to ask what the imperial physician had said after taking Ji Xiaosong's pulse. Worried about Ji Xiaosong's health, he quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare generous gifts and went to the Imperial Hospital in person.
Liu Zheng, the chief physician of the Imperial Hospital, was organizing medical records when he heard that General Xiao was requesting an audience, and he was surprised.
Upon seeing Liu Zheng, Xiao Shen politely cupped his hands and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, my wife is unwell, and the physician at the residence is unable to diagnose her. I would be grateful if you could come to my residence to examine and treat her."
Knowing that General Xiao held a high position and wielded great power, and seeing his anxious expression, Liu Zheng quickly replied, "General Xiao, you flatter me. I will do my best."
Xiao Shen nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Physician Liu."
He then hurriedly led Liu Zheng back to the General's Mansion, his expression solemn the whole way.
Upon returning to the general's mansion, Liu Zheng dared not delay and immediately took Ji Xiaosong's pulse.
He was focused, his fingers gently resting on Ji Xiaosong's wrist, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing. Xiao Shen, watching from the side, didn't dare to breathe, his eyes fixed on Liu Zheng's expression, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists, and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
He leaned forward slightly, as if that would allow him to hear the diagnosis more quickly.
Liu Zheng then used his other hand to take Ji Xiaosong's pulse, and Xiao Shen's heart jumped again. He paced back and forth in the room, his steps somewhat flustered.
A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on Liu Zheng's face, but he cautiously checked the pulse again.
After repeating this several times, he finally showed a happy expression, stood up and cupped his hands to Xiao Shen and Ji Xiaosong, saying, "Congratulations, General Xiao, and congratulations, Madam Xiao. Madam's pulse is indeed that of a pregnant woman, and the pulse is strong and powerful. In my opinion, the fetus is extremely healthy."
Xiao Shen was stunned at first, seemingly unable to believe his ears. He stared wide-eyed at Liu Zheng, as if trying to see through him to make sure he wasn't joking.
His lips trembled slightly, and it took him a long time to utter a few words with difficulty: "Doctor Liu, are you... are you telling the truth?"
Then, he slowly turned his head to look at Ji Xiaosong, his eyes filled with a complex mix of disbelief and surprise.
He reached out his hands, wanting to grasp Ji Xiaosong's hands, but then paused in mid-air, as if afraid that all of this was just a beautiful but illusory dream.
"I...I'm really going to have a baby?"
Xiao Shen's voice trembled slightly, "I once thought..."
He paused, swallowing the bitter words that followed.
At this moment, he was like someone who had been wandering in the darkness for a long time and suddenly saw the dawn, so excited that he didn't know what to do.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his slightly trembling body betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
After a while, Xiao Shen finally came to his senses, and a bright smile bloomed on his face, a smile full of longing and anticipation for the future.
He walked to Ji Xiaosong's side, gently embraced her, and said in a tender yet firm voice, "Ah Song, thank you."
Liu Zheng, who was standing to the side, had tears welling up in his eyes at some point.
He was the one who treated Xiao Shen when he was poisoned. At that time, he did his best, but he only left Xiao Shen with a last glimmer of hope.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, this member of the Ji family actually realized this almost impossible expectation.
The Xiao family has protected the Chen Kingdom for generations, but now only Xiao Shen remains of the Xiao lineage.
Ji Xiaosong's pregnancy means that the protection of Chen Kingdom can continue.
Liu Zheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then knelt down with a thud and said excitedly, "Madam Xiao, your pregnancy is a blessing for the Xiao family and even more so for the Chen Kingdom! This old minister thanks you for giving the Chen Kingdom the hope of continuing to be protected."
Upon seeing this, the others also knelt down to express their gratitude.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaosong gently pushed Xiao Shen away and quickly got up to help Liu Zheng up, saying, "Physician Liu, please get up quickly. This is also a blessing from heaven. I will take good care of this child and do my part for the Xiao family and the Chen Kingdom."
Fluffy floated on the bed curtains, watching the heartfelt emotions of everyone in the room, and clicked her tongue in amazement:
"Ah Song, thankfully it's still early in the pregnancy, so Liu Zheng can't tell you you're carrying four babies. If they knew, they'd be terrified."
"It's okay, I'll find out eventually. By then, my pregnancy will be more stable."
Don't worry, Ah Song, once you get pregnant, you won't miscarry.
"I can rest assured that."
Liu Zheng and the others were too emotional, so Ji Xiaosong stopped communicating with Rongrong using her divine sense.
After calming everyone down for a while, Ji Xiaosong finally sat back down on the bed with Xiao Shen's careful help.
At this moment, Xiao Shen looked very nervous, his eyes never leaving Ji Xiaosong, and he kept muttering, "Madam, please be careful and don't tire yourself out."
Then he turned to Liu Zheng and said, "Imperial Physician Liu, please draft a prescription for the lady's health during her pregnancy as soon as possible. Just tell me what rare medicinal herbs she needs."
Liu Zheng nodded repeatedly in agreement and hurriedly retreated to prepare.
In less than two days, the news of Ji Xiaosong's pregnancy spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
Wanting to pray for the baby in Ji Xiaosong's womb, Xiao Shen joined forces with the Ji family to set up a porridge stall at the city gate and distributed porridge every day.
Not only that, they also sent winter supplies to various orphanages in the capital.
Ji Xiaosong stayed in the mansion and did not go out, but people kept coming to give her gifts.
If Xiao Shen hadn't sternly refused to let outsiders disturb him, the threshold of the General's Mansion would probably have been worn down by the crowds.
After enduring three months, Consort Song of the palace held a spring banquet and specifically requested that Ji Xiaosong attend.
