On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Although when she was at the Jiang family before, Xiao Zhou kept saying that there was no need to ask another doctor to take her pulse.

But when she returned home, Mrs. Li heard the news and excitedly called for a doctor, and Xiao Zhou did not stop her.

If she wasn't so uncertain now and worried about being overjoyed, she would have wanted to inform her parents' home and let her own mother know the good news.

She is pregnant, which is certainly worth celebrating.

But there are reasons that cannot be expressed in words.

After the Zhou family received the imperial edict that the eldest daughter would become the queen, they asked the doctor to take the eldest daughter's pulse first.

After all, the girl has been married for several years, but there has been no good news.

When Zhou's family returned home as a widow, they only wanted to make sure their daughter was in good health.

Besides, when they asked the doctor to check the eldest girl's pulse, they also asked the doctor to pay attention to their daughter's health in private, to find out if she was not pregnant and whether there was something wrong with her body.

But the doctor said that the girl was in good health and was not pregnant, which might be because she was not destined to have children.

Mrs. Zhou was relieved when she confirmed that it was not her eldest daughter who was infertile.

After all, her daughter had just become a widow, and she hurriedly asked the doctor to treat her health. It would not sound good if it got out, as it would seem that they were in a hurry to find another husband.

Who could have thought that as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he would issue an order to allow the eldest girl to enter the palace?
They dared not even think about such a pie falling from the sky.

At most, she watched as the other branches of the Zhou family began to dress up their daughters. The Second Lady could only feel regret in her heart that her youngest daughter got married too early, otherwise she could have given it a try.

Who could have thought that the emperor would fall in love with his own widowed daughter?
Since the eldest girl is destined to be a phoenix, they naturally hope that she can give birth to a boy. Even if he can't become a prince, he can be a prince, right?
If it really doesn't work, giving birth to a little princess will also be fine.

So he secretly looked for a famous doctor.

Unfortunately, Miss Zhou spent too little time at home preparing for her wedding. After she entered the palace, Mrs. Zhou Er wanted to find an imperial physician to help her daughter continue to recuperate in private.

If you want to seek help from a royal physician, you must be even more cautious.

So as to avoid being misunderstood and thought that they were trying to harm the emperor in private.

Therefore, they set their sights on the newly appointed Imperial Physician Ning.

This person is the new emperor's confidant. They are not afraid that the emperor will know, but they also want to know whether the emperor is willing for his eldest daughter to be pregnant.

Fortunately, Doctor Ning agreed immediately and later said that the young lady was not seriously ill. If they wanted a folk remedy, they could ask their junior brother.

He also said that although the Jiang family's medical skills were not top-notch, they were very good at taking care of married women's bodies.

But the Jiang family was not an imperial physician, and not only could they not enter the palace, they also did not have full confidence in the Jiang family's medical skills, so they simply let their youngest daughter go and explore the way first.

If the treatment for the younger daughter is really effective, then they will find a way to bring Old Jiang into the palace to help the Queen Mother recuperate.

Of course, Xiao Zhou also hoped that her elder sister could have children, so she cooperated with the treatment and took the medicine.

The doctor from the mansion came quickly. After checking Xiao Zhou's pulse, he said with certainty: "The pulse at the Cunkou is beating but weak. A beating pulse indicates shock, while a weak pulse indicates palpitations. I wonder why Second Madam is beating so much..."

Xiao Zhou took a deep breath and managed to refrain from yelling at him. She looked at her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Li was also very annoyed. She couldn't say that her daughter-in-law was so excited because she suspected she was pregnant, right?

She could only make it clear: "Second Madam has been late for her period for a few days. I want you to see if you are pregnant."

The court doctor carefully felt Xiao Zhou's pulse again, and finally said honestly: "Madam, I didn't feel a pregnancy pulse." He also explained common sense to them: "Besides, even if the second wife is pregnant, it will take half a month or a month for the diagnosis to be confirmed."

"Of course, there are doctors who specialize in gynecology and may be able to identify a weak pulse of pregnancy," the palace doctor said honestly, "How about Madam go to Qianjin Hall to invite a doctor?"

Madam Li shook her head: "Forget it, it won't hurt to wait a few more days."

Although the court doctor's medical skills are not top-notch, he is an honest person and doesn't talk too much.

If the court doctor knew what she was thinking, he would definitely protest: "Do you know that there are specialties in medical skills? I am just more proficient in external injuries."

After the court doctor left, Madam Li specifically reminded Xiao Xiao: "Even if you are pregnant, you must not let outsiders know in the first three months. Don't make it public."

She also knew some of the Zhou family's thoughts and understood that it was better to be cautious about such matters.

Now that her son has married Xiao Zhou, she must hope that Da Zhou can have children.

He also understood that there were too many people in the palace who did not want to see Da Zhou get pregnant.

Therefore, Mrs. Li also became unusually cautious.

Even though those who went out with them were all needed, Mrs. Li still felt uneasy and reminded them again.

When Li Yan came back from work and heard the good news, he looked at her with wide eyes in disbelief: "Are you really pregnant?"

Originally, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her body, but after listening to what Mr. Jiang said, she inexplicably felt that she might really be pregnant.

It might be because she lived near a reservoir since she was a child and liked playing in the water, so her menstruation has always been irregular, and there was even a time when her menstruation didn't come for two months in a row in the summer.

She was also a timid person who was afraid of death. After taking over this body, she started to take nourishing food and medicine as long as she could. She originally thought that she had a cold uterus and it was impossible for her to get pregnant so quickly, so she was a little more unrestrained when she was with him.

Seeing his surprised expression, Xiao Xiao waved her hand: "It's only a 50% chance."

"I think she is definitely pregnant." Li Yan came to her side with a smile and squatted down, carefully stroking her belly: "It really looks like she is pregnant, her belly has grown a little bit."

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but punch him in the face in anger: "Shut up, I just ate a lot."

At least she had some common sense and knew that it wouldn't be noticeable in the first three months.

Li Yan didn't dare to hide at all, and was worried that she would hurt her waist if she hit him so hard. She was eager to survive: "I was wrong. It doesn't matter if you are not pregnant. We still have a long time to live together. I will continue to work hard."

Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved after hearing this. She grabbed his ear and said with a fierce look on her face, "Let me be frank with you. If you dare to mention my concubine while I'm pregnant, I will kill you."

The closest relatives and the most distant relatives are husband and wife.

It is said that when a couple spends time together, it is like the left hand touching the right hand, and the passion is gone.

She originally thought that she could calmly accept that he had someone else.

But now when she thought about it, she was filled with anger and felt that if he dared to have an affair, she would rather be a widow.

Or it would be nice to let him become Eunuch Li.

Li Yan was not angry but happy. He let her pinch his ears and held her hands, smiling with his phoenix eyes: "Xiao Xiao, I have said it before, there will be no two colors in this life, and you are enough for me."

He knew that Xiao Xiao was only thinking about him, so how could she be willing to have someone else for him?
Fortunately, he is not a greedy person. Besides, Xiao Xiao is jealous. If he has another woman, she might be so angry that she might not even be able to keep the child. (End of this chapter)
