Chapter 310
After a while, an imperial physician came running in hurriedly. When he reached the door of the inner hall, he suddenly slowed down and walked in cautiously.
The imperial physician did not dare to look up at the crown prince and the two concubines. Instead, he lowered his head and walked quickly to the bedside, then stretched out his hands and gently placed them on the wrists of the two concubines.
The prince stood aside, his face full of anxiety, and asked impatiently: "Doctor, how is it? Is it pregnancy?"
The imperial physician smiled and replied, "Congratulations, His Royal Highness! Both concubines have positive pulses! And their pulses are strong and powerful, so it is very likely that they are the emperor's grandson!"
Upon hearing the news, the prince's face showed an ecstatic expression. He rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Li Jingshu stood aside, her lips slightly raised, secretly delighted. She thought, if these two women could really give birth to sons, then their fate would be death. Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
The prince was filled with joy. He turned to look at the imperial physician and said gently, "Thank you, imperial physician. Please prescribe some pregnancy-preserving medicine for the two concubines as soon as possible!"
The imperial physician nodded repeatedly and responded respectfully, "Your Highness, please rest assured. The two concubines are in good condition and just need to rest and take care of the babies. However, we still need to find two experienced, attentive and considerate nurses to take care of the two concubines."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess hurriedly stepped forward, looked at the Crown Prince tenderly, and said softly, "Your Highness, leave this matter to me! I will definitely select the best nanny to take care of my two sisters."
The prince frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, and he replied calmly: "No need, let mother choose it herself, after all, she knows the situation in the palace better."
After saying this, he gently patted the Crown Princess's hand, signaling her not to say any more.
After the imperial physician came out of the East Palace, he turned and walked into a small path. After a while, a person dressed as a eunuch came out. It was Luo Lingyue, who had successfully left the palace by disguising herself as a shopping maid.
When Luo Lingyue returned to Wu'an Palace, An Qingxuan and Xiao Jinghan were drinking in the pavilion.
Seeing her coming back, An Qingxuan immediately stood up and shouted with a smile: "Xiao Qi! Come over and eat!"
Luo Lingyue walked to the table, sat down, and began to eat.
An Qingxuan felt distressed as he watched her wolfing down her food, and said softly, "Xiao Qi! Eat slowly! If you have time, go to the palace and accompany your aunt! Your uncle is worried that she will be upset!"
Luo Lingyue raised her head and glanced at An Qingxuan, saying disapprovingly: "Uncle! Are you overthinking it? Auntie is no longer a little girl, and only little girls believe in love!"
When Xiao Jinghan heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He turned to look at An Qingxuan and said firmly: "Uncle! As long as Jin Xiaohe doesn't take the initiative to provoke my aunt, we won't touch her! But... with the Queen's temper, she will definitely not let Jin Xiaohe have an easy time!"
Luo Lingyue ate all the food on the table in a flash, then patted her belly contentedly, touched her mouth and said, "The Crown Prince's concubine is pregnant!"
Hearing this news, An Qingxuan's face instantly became gloomy. He frowned and said in a heavy tone: "If the emperor's grandson is really born, then the King of Qin's chances will become even slimmer."
He knew very well the cruelty and complexity of the power struggle within the royal family. Without sufficient strength and strategy, it would be difficult to stand out in this struggle. Offspring can sometimes play a very good role!
However, Luo Lingyue showed a sly smile. She shook her head gently and comforted him: "Uncle, don't worry too much! These two princes' concubines are our people, and they will definitely be of use to us." Her eyes revealed a kind of confidence and determination, as if she had already come up with a plan to deal with it.
An Qingxuan was slightly relieved after hearing this, but still asked with some doubt: "But how can we guarantee that they will obey our arrangements? After all, they have now become the prince's concubines, and their status and identity have been improved."
Luo Lingyue smiled slightly and answered confidently: "Uncle! Please leave these small matters to us! Please keep an eye on the Ministry of War and don't let the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's men take advantage of any opportunity!"
Hearing this, An Qingxuan felt much more at ease. He knew that although his niece was young, she had wisdom and ability far beyond her age. He nodded in agreement.
After An Qingxuan left the Wu'an Palace, Luo Lingyue turned to look at Xiao Jinghan, with a determined light in her eyes, and asked, "Do you have a way to make Emperor Wen believe that the mother of the emperor's grandson can make the country prosperous!"
Xiao Jinghan raised his head slightly, looking at the confident and determined woman in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He whispered, "Do you trust me so much?"
Luo Lingyue smiled, her eyes full of trust and dependence, and she said: "My husband can do anything!"
Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but smile after hearing this. He knew that Luo Lingyue was encouraging him and expressing her trust in him.
He said, "You really think highly of me! However, I understand what you mean. Doing this will not only prevent Li Jingshu from attacking the Li Xuemei sisters, but will also make Emperor Wen pay more attention to them."
Luo Lingyue nodded and said, "Yes, if Emperor Wen believes that the mother of the emperor's grandson can make the country prosperous, then the Li Xuemei sisters will become important figures in the royal family. In this way, even if someone wants to deal with them, they have to weigh the consequences. Moreover, doing so can also increase the status and influence of the Li Xuemei sisters, allowing them to better protect themselves."
Xiao Jinghan gently stroked Luo Lingyue's hair and said softly: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will find a way to make Emperor Wen believe that the mother of the emperor's grandson can make the country prosperous."
Luo Lingyue leaned in Xiao Jinghan's arms, feeling his warmth and comfort. She knew that with Xiao Jinghan by her side, everything would go smoothly. They would face the challenges of the future together and create a better future together.
Ning Yuan, the director of the Imperial Observatory, walked into the palace where Emperor Wen was with steady steps. His face was solemn, and there was a mysterious light in his eyes. Emperor Wen sat on the dragon throne, staring at Ning Yuan with sharp eyes.
Ning Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty! I observed the stars at night and found two bright stars shining in the sky. This means that Your Majesty will soon have two grandchildren! And the mothers of these two grandchildren will bring prosperity and good weather to Dazhao!"
Emperor Wen frowned slightly. He was a little confused about Ning Yuan's words, but he couldn't help but feel expectant.
At this moment, Eunuch Gao hurried in, his face filled with joy. After bowing to Emperor Wen, he excitedly said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! News came from the East Palace that both concubines are pregnant at the same time!"
After listening to Eunuch Gao's report, Emperor Wen was suddenly filled with excitement and joy. He realized that what Ning Yuan said was true, and the arrival of the two children was indeed in line with what the stars had predicted.
He immediately ordered that the two concubines be well taken care of and their safety and health be ensured.
