Chapter 119 God Bless Xuanwu, Auspicious Omens from Heaven
Qing Fei had a plan in mind, but he didn't say it out loud.
Since the prince said that this baby must be twins, then it can only be twins.
Besides, didn't the Second Prince go to such great lengths to get his wife pregnant just to hide it from everyone and then try to replace the real thing with the fake one?
Since this is the case, he might as well do something to make things better for everyone.
When Xiao Mingyi saw Qing Fei glancing at Chu Lingle's belly, he took an unnatural step forward to block the gazes of the three people, still glaring at He Zhiyi.
"What on earth brings you here, Imperial Concubine? My small palace cannot accommodate a giant like you."
He spoke in a sarcastic tone, almost rolling his eyes to the sky.
He Zhiyi didn't bother to care about his attitude and just smiled at Chu Lingle, which made Chu Lingle feel creepy.
When she was about to make an excuse to refuse, He Zhiyi opened her mouth.
"The Emperor is in the palace, thinking about his grandson. The Second Prince's wife is about to give birth to the Emperor's first legitimate grandson since he ascended the throne, so this is naturally of great significance.
The emperor was also worried and wanted to come and see his unborn grandson in person.
It's just that the autumn election is approaching, and the Emperor is too busy to attend to anything else, so he can only send me here to take the place of the Emperor and Empress to assist the Second Prince's wife in her pregnancy. Please check her pulse."
Pregnancy protection? Safe pulse? As soon as these words came out, Xiao Mingyi's heart was completely gone.
He had been guilty of something and had never dared to tell Emperor Xuan about it. Naturally, he was waiting for the child to be born to give Emperor Xuan a surprise and step on Xiao Mingcheng at the same time.
This will prevent my father from feeling guilty towards my eldest brother after so many years.
As a son, he naturally has to share his father's worries.
But... now his good father suddenly did this and disrupted all his plans, which made him love and hate him at the same time!
Xiao Mingyi panicked for a moment, sweat gradually appearing on his forehead. Should he hide it or let them take his pulse... Xiao Mingyi was hesitant.
It was Chu Lingle who pinched him secretly to calm him down.
Why panic? That was a folk remedy he had paid a lot of money for. No matter who took my pulse, they would just say it was twins.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mingyi calmed down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." He first bowed towards the palace, then said, "Since it is Your Majesty's wish, then please."
Chen Hetian did not have much desire to ask Qing Fei to take his pulse first, so with the young people as the priority, he asked Qing Fei to take his pulse first.
If Qing Fei made a mistake in taking the pulse, he could postpone it to smooth things over for Qing Fei.
Chen Hetian’s thoughts are beautiful, showing the demeanor of a senior.
But he didn't know that Qing Fei was also waiting for this moment.
Chen Hetian's medical skills are not better than Qing Fei's. As long as Qing Fei has done something in advance, no matter who takes the pulse, there will only be one pulse pattern.
Qing Fei also guessed that the second prince had tampered with his pulse, but she couldn't be sure.
Why not let him help?
Qing Fei took out a handkerchief and placed it on Chu Lingle's wrist, then took his pulse through the handkerchief.
At the same time, he exerted a little force and inserted the short, thin silver needle hidden on the handkerchief into the acupuncture point.
The silver needles are coated with medicine in advance, so you won’t feel anything when they are inserted.
He was lost in thought, and deliberately frowned when taking Xiao Mingyi's pulse, which made Xiao Mingyi's heart rise to his throat.
Xiao Mingyi was really scared. If his fraud was discovered and reported to his father, he would get nothing!
Please, please, I hope the old itinerant doctor’s secret recipe works!
When the pulse stabilized in the middle and lower parts and was beating violently, Qing Fei's face lit up with joy. He quickly put away the handkerchief, bowed and congratulated in one go.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, and congratulations to the Crown Princess. Judging from her pulse, she's pregnant with twins!"
Xiao Mingyi was delighted: "Really?"
"Yes! This is an auspicious sign!"
Qing Fei acted so intensely that she even choked on her saliva while speaking.
Chen Hetian stepped forward and patted him on the back, then quickly took out his handkerchief and felt the pulse of the Second Prince's wife. After a moment, he put the handkerchief away, knelt down with a thud, and shouted, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Prince's wife! May God bless Xuanwu and may auspicious signs descend from heaven!"
Qing Fei had no idea that the old doctor was so powerful. She gritted her teeth and knelt down, shouting loudly: "God bless Xuanwu, may the auspicious signs descend from heaven!"
At that moment, everyone in the yard knelt down and shouted, "God bless Xuanwu, and auspicious signs will be sent down from heaven."
Even Xiao Mingyi was shocked. He began to wonder whether the itinerant doctor's prescription was too effective or whether his wife was really pregnant with twins.
But he was not lost. He waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Hahahaha, great! Rewards! Rewards for all!"
Only the Second Prince's wife, Chu Lingle, had difficulty raising the corners of her mouth, her whole body feeling as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Since she was pregnant, she could naturally feel how many babies were in her belly.
It's obviously a child!
But at this time, her husband was too immersed in the role, and everyone lifted her up.
She suddenly felt terrified. What if... What if all this was a conspiracy...
She was extremely frightened, but she could not discuss it with her husband. She could only watch as everyone in the yard knelt on the ground, repeating these two sentences over and over again.
When everyone dispersed, Qing Fei and Chen Hetian also received their own rewards, ten gold coins each.
Qing Fei was delighted because she could go to the largest jewelry store in the capital to buy a hairpin for Aque.
He hadn't seen Aque for a long time, and he really missed the days when they had a big fight.
Mission accomplished, He Zhiyi didn't want to linger any longer. She smiled and said, "I've been ordered to come here to check the prince's wife's pulse, and now I've received an unexpected surprise. I can't help but want to share this good news with His Majesty."
Chu Lingle felt even more uneasy, but she still maintained a stiff smile on her face.
Fortunately, Xiao Mingyi regained his composure and was in a dilemma: "How about waiting until Ah Le gives birth to the child before telling Father? A few days won't be too much of a hassle."
"How can that be?" He Zhiyi raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "The Emperor and Empress are both looking forward to hearing good news from Your Highness's residence! How can we keep such a matter of great celebration a secret?"
There was no doubt about He Zhiyi's tone. She would go back to the palace and report to the emperor no matter what.
Xiao Mingyi couldn't and couldn't find any other excuses, for fear that his flaws would be discovered.
And He Zhiyi moved her mother out.
If his mother could really be happy to hear this news, he would be relieved.
At worst... let this result be confirmed!
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty.
After He Zhiyi left, Chu Lingle's face fell.
She hurriedly grabbed Xiao Mingyi's hand in a panic.
"Erlang... I'm so panicked..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you." Xiao Mingyi gently held her in his arms and comforted her. "No matter whether it's true or false, even if it's a conspiracy, I won't let you put yourself in danger. Concubine Zhao's place is always available. Just focus on giving birth to our child. I'll take care of the rest."
Chu Lingle was still nervous, but in order not to make Xiao Mingyi worry, she nodded and suppressed her fear in her heart.
After He Zhiyi returned to the palace, she immediately reported the matter to Emperor Xuan.
"Your Majesty~" He Zhiyi trotted to Emperor Xuan, forgetting even her etiquette and manners for a moment.
However, Emperor Xuan did not blame her. Seeing her happy face, he knew there was good news.
Sure enough, He Zhiyi said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Second Prince's wife is indeed pregnant with twins! This is truly a sign of Heaven blessing Xuanwu and auspicious signs from heaven!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Xuan was very pleased!
Rewards flowed into the Second Prince's mansion like water.
That afternoon, everyone knew that the Second Prince's wife had given birth to twins.
A group of court officials headed by Xiao Mingyi spread the news widely.
Within half a day, even a three-year-old child could recite with their eyes closed, "Imperial Concubine Chu, twins born from the same mother, auspicious signs from heaven, may heaven bless Xuanwu."
