Hearing her say this, Pei Luoan shook his head gently: "How can I let you down? The legitimate son should be born from the legitimate wife, otherwise... it will be of no benefit to the future."
Ji Youran is in this state, there is no way she can save the child.
Since it was useless, Pei Luoan's words to Liu Jingyu were naturally much softer, and he spoke from Liu Jingyu's perspective.
"Your Highness." Liu Jingyu's tears fell and she looked at Pei Luoan with joy.
Pei Luoan held her in his arms, patted her shoulder gently, and then let her go: "Just keep watch here, I'll go to the study first."
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will be here to protect Sister Ji and will never let anything happen to her." Liu Jingyu nodded.
Pei Luoan looked at the inner room, but did not go in. He turned around and strode away. He still had to investigate this matter. Was it really such a coincidence? Or was Pei Yusheng trying to make some evil move again
He would not let Pei Yusheng go just like that after losing his son.
Watching Pei Luoan leave, Liu Jingyu's eyes slightly reddened and she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then sat down on the chair in the middle, waiting for news.
Sure enough, just as his mother said, the prince would not doubt himself.
The only regret is why it wasn't Qu Moying. Shouldn't it have been Qu Moying who came to ask for the dowry list, causing Madam Ji to feel unwell and faint, and causing Ji Youran to return home due to her serious illness? The main reason for what happened afterwards was still Qu Moying's fault.
Mother said that Qu Moying could not be kept.
She had never disliked Qu Moying. It's not that she hadn't tried to do it before, but she had never been successful. This time, by chance, she fell into Liu Lanxin's arms.
Fortunately, Liu Lanxin is also her opponent, and she is very happy to see Liu Lanxin get into trouble.
The mother had killed two birds with one stone. The prince's eldest son must be born to her. How dare those lowly women even dream of this.
He sneered and looked at the door of the inner room. He heard a faint sound coming from inside, as if Ji Youran had woken up. Just as he was about to get up, he saw an imperial physician coming in. It was Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital.
"Your humble servant greets the Crown Princess." As soon as Doctor Zhang entered the room, he saw Liu Jingyu sitting in the middle and hurriedly bowed.
"Don't be polite, Chief Doctor. Go and see Concubine Ji." Liu Jingyu shook his hand, signaling her not to be polite.
"Yes, I'll go and see it right away." Doctor Zhang said, turning and walking towards the inner room door.
Liu Jingyu was not in a hurry to go in. He leisurely picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. He listened carefully. This was the time to exchange greetings and take the patient's pulse.
Ji Youran's voice was a little excited, "Doctor, how is my child? How is my child?"
Children? Liu Jingyu curled his lips in mockery. A concubine who wanted to give birth to an heir didn't even consider her current status and whether she had the face to do so.
She had looked down on Ji Youran before, and then Ji Youran used the title of the Crown Prince's concubine to suppress her, and now she is under her control again.
Ji Hanyue is nothing, so what about Ji Youran? She just used her affair with the prince to hide it from Ji Hanyue. I am not Ji Hanyue, and I will not regard Ji Youran as a gentle and kind person.
What a pity, Ji Hanyue died so early!
Liu Jingyu sighed, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeves.
The patterns are exquisite. Although she is only the Crown Princess, simple phoenix patterns can be embroidered on her clothes. If she becomes the mother of the country in the future, her entire clothes will be covered with phoenix patterns, which will be gorgeous and grand.
My mother also said that if a woman was in power and ruling the country from behind the curtain, her clothes would not only have phoenix patterns, but maybe also dragon patterns, making her worthy of being the number one person in the world.
Offspring are very important here...
Holding the hand of a maid, he walked slowly inside. When he reached the door of the inner room, he heard a sudden uproar inside: "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, my child, my child is gone, how could my child be gone?"
The sharp voice made Liu Jingyu pause, and then he smiled gently. The child was indeed gone.
He walked forward and saw Ji Youran frantically pulling Doctor Zhang's sleeve. He snorted coldly, "How disgraceful! Someone, tell Concubine Ji to let go."
Two maids came up, one on each side, grabbed Ji Youran's hands, and pulled them down with all their strength, while persuading her, "Madam Concubine, please let go."
"My Lady Concubine, there are differences between men and women."
Although he spoke softly, his hands did not relax and pinched Ji Youran's wrist hard. Ji Youran's hand loosened involuntarily. Doctor Zhang hurriedly took two steps back with an embarrassed look on his face. Ji Youran had really pounced on him just now, and he couldn't avoid it even if he wanted to.
"My child, my child..." Ji Youran's mind has been blank since she woke up. She could only say these few words. Her whole body ached as if it was falling apart, and what hurt even more was her stomach. She really felt that the baby in her belly was going to fall out. Seeing Doctor Zhang coming over, how could she not be ecstatic and asked him to save her child.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Zhang said that she had no children.
How could there be no child? Could it be that the baby in her belly had been lost
His dull eyes turned and fell on Liu Jingyu's face. Seeing Liu Jingyu smiling generously and even showing some concern, Ji Youran became furious and threw himself at Liu Jingyu with all his strength, screaming, "You killed my child. You killed my child."
Liu Jingyu was not standing close to him. He sneered as he watched Ji Youran rush over and then be pulled back by two maids. His eyes were as cold as ice. "What Concubine Ji said is really funny. The Crown Princess hasn't gotten pregnant yet, so how come a little concubine like you is already pregnant? Are you saying that the Crown Prince has no rules?"
The royal family has always attached great importance to offspring, and Liu Jingyu must seize the initiative at this time no matter what.
Anyway, the prince has just promised her, so she will be very confident.
"You... you are talking nonsense, this... this is agreed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ji Youran glared at Liu Jingyu hatefully, pressing her hand on her stomach, heartbroken.
"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agree to such a thing! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here just now, and when he talked about this matter, he only said that since there is no legitimate eldest son, no one else is allowed to have children. Does Concubine Ji think that I am still the same Ji Hanyue, or that she can play tricks behind my back again?"
Liu Jingyu sneered, his eyes coldly moving around Doctor Zhang, "Master Doctor, how is the pulse diagnosis?"
"Your Highness, could you allow me to diagnose you once more? I feel that the diagnosis just now may not be accurate." Doctor Zhang said, sweating profusely. Concubine Ji's pulse was so strange that he couldn't tell anything for a moment, but he just felt that she was not pregnant. She either had a miscarriage or it was caused by other reasons, she was just not pregnant.
Since I'm not pregnant,
It's really strange that Concubine Ji seemed to have lost her greatest treasure.
"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Liu Jingyu asked.
Ji Youran covered her stomach and asked even more excitedly: "Doctor, is the baby in my belly still... still there?"
She had gone through so much trouble to get this child, how could she be willing to just lose him like that
"This... I have to listen to the patient's pulse before I can say anything." Doctor Zhang shook his head and did not make a direct conclusion.
Just when he was beginning to become suspicious, this concubine Ji rushed over and almost grabbed his beard, which frightened him so much that he was unable to think about the problem carefully.
“Imperial Physician, you… then please take another look at it for me.” Ji Youran said in a trembling voice, stretching out his hand.
A maid put a handkerchief under her hand and put it in the medicine pillow. Doctor Zhang put his hand on it again and listened to her pulse carefully. His brows were furrowed. The pulse felt like she was not pregnant, as if she had never been pregnant.
"Doctor, what's going on?"
"Master Doctor, what's the matter?" Doctor Zhang had just opened his eyes when he heard these two words. He stood up and stepped back before saying, "Crown Princess, I think... Concubine Concubine is not pregnant at all."
"Not pregnant?" Liu Jingyu was shocked by what he heard this time. He looked at Ji Youran with a cold look in his eyes, "Bold Ji, are you deliberately talking nonsense to plot against the royal bloodline?"
"What... not pregnant? What... does this mean?" Ji Youran didn't notice Liu Jingyu's rebuke. She stared blankly at Doctor Zhang and muttered to herself, "Doctor, you... what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."
Doctor Zhang looked at them and said again: "I think... the concubine is not pregnant, but I can't confirm it either. It would be better to invite a few more doctors to take a look together."
When Doctor Zhang took the pulse for the second time, he had already heard the abnormality. The initial feeling was that the pulse was slippery, but in fact it was not. The pulse felt weak and floating, and when he listened more carefully, it was not a slippery pulse.
Concubine Ji was not pregnant.
However, he was unwilling to take responsibility for this kind of thing alone, so it would be better for more imperial doctors to share the responsibility.
"Someone, please invite the two imperial doctors over here." Liu Jingyu looked at Ji Youran, who was stunned and seemed stupid, and instructed the maid beside her.
The two imperial doctors went to a side room to discuss the prescription.
After a while, the two imperial doctors came back to feel the pulse. This time, with what Doctor Zhang said, the two imperial doctors confirmed it.
"Crown Princess, Concubine Ji is not pregnant. It must have been a false pregnancy before!" The three doctors discussed it, and Doctor Zhang finally gave the most appropriate conclusion. He then asked Ji Youran, "I wonder when Concubine Ji felt that she was pregnant, who did she see at that time, and how many doctors have seen her so far?"
Ji Youran stared into the air, her hands covering her belly, as if she hadn't heard what Doctor Zhang said, "My child... my child... you lied to me, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now."
As he said this, he suddenly got up from the bed and rushed out of the bed, scaring the people on both sides to quickly hold him back.
Fortunately, Ji Youran was also seriously injured before, so he couldn't get up at this time. He just pretended to stand up, and then fell heavily on the bed, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted without saying a word...
