“No need for formalities, Li. Mei Fei is unwell, please examine her quickly, and skip the unnecessary pleasantries.” Ming Lengchen said sternly. Looking at Yuer’s pale face, he was deeply concerned. She was fine just moments ago, how could she look so haggard now? Could it be a sudden serious illness? No, his Yuer would be fine.
“Yes, this subject obeys.” Imperial Physician Li responded.
He approached Mei Siyu, “Your Highness, please allow me to check your pulse.” “Okay,” Mei Siyu extended her right hand, waiting for the diagnosis.
After a long moment, Imperial Physician Li stroked his beard and walked towards Ming Lengchen, smiling, “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Mei Fei is with child!”
“Yuer is pregnant, not seriously ill?” Ming Lengchen asked uncertainly.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, Mei Fei is indeed pregnant. Feeling nauseous from the fish smell is a sign of pregnancy,” Imperial Physician Li answered with a mild smile.
“Since Mei Fei is fine, you may return,” Ming Lengchen said, smiling. His Yuer was pregnant – how exciting! The reason his concubines hadn’t conceived wasn’t his inadequacy, but because he didn’t want those vulgar women to bear his child. Only Yuer was worthy of bearing his dragon’s heir!
Now, Yuer would have no reason to talk about leaving the palace. It was truly fate! He could be with his beloved and have a child – how could he not be excited?
Imperial Physician Li bowed and withdrew, with Xiao Rou following and gently closing the door.
“Chen, is it true that I’m pregnant?” Mei Siyu asked, puzzled. She had heard the imperial physician’s words but couldn’t believe it. How could she be pregnant without realizing?
“Yes, you are truly pregnant. This will be my first prince, of the most noble status!” Ming Lengchen said, embracing Mei Siyu tenderly.
“I’m scared. I’m not psychologically prepared to be a mother,” Mei Siyu said worriedly.
“Don’t be afraid. Yuer has me!” Ming Lengchen softly comforted her.
“Mm,” she nestled happily into his embrace. Everything happened so suddenly, she hadn’t even had time to think, and heaven had given her a baby. But thinking that the baby was a testament to her and Chen’s love, she felt a sweet, warm feeling inside.
