Chapter 662: Pregnant 2 (1/2)

Seeing how worriedly the young couple was looking at him, Great Doctor Miao’s expression relaxed. “Did the imperial physician prescribe you any medicine, and did you eat it?”

Chu Lian explained what had happened to her in the arena at the hunting grounds, “Physician Zhou and Li checked on my health, but I didn’t drink any medicine. I only had some normal nourishing soup.”

Hearing that Chu Lian had fallen off her horse, Great Doctor Miao’s eyes widened as far as they could go. However, after hearing that she hadn’t taken any medicine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Those sly imperial physicians! The old foxes must have suspected that Chu Lian was pregnant, but they likely hadn’t been able to diagnose it properly, so they must have avoided prescribing any medicine for their own safety.

“The two of you! Are seriously muddle-headed!” Great Doctor Miao pointed a shaking finger at the couple in his anger.

He turned to look at the servants standing behind Chu Lian and He Changdi and lamented, “Ah… What a useless group of people…”

Chu Lian was shocked by Great Doctor Miao’s sudden change in mood. What was going on?

Faced by all the dazed and confused faces around him, Great Doctor Miao just couldn’t keep his temper up. He stopped beating around the bush and stated, “Lian’er is already one month pregnant! Thank your lucky stars! If you continue being so clumsy, you might have lost the child!”

What?!

The sudden announcement from Great Doctor Miao made everyone dumbfounded and lost for words.

The most exaggerated reaction came from He Changdi.

He completely lost his usual cool and stiff facade as a myriad of emotions blossomed into life on his face.

Chu Lian was stiff with shock. She looked down dazedly at her flat abdomen. So there was already a new life growing in there without her knowing! She subconsciously reached out to stroke her abdomen. Even if she couldn’t feel any change, Chu Lian still thought that something was different.

He Changdi turned to stare at Chu Lian. There were too many emotions in his eyes to name, but slowly, joy surfaced up and shone in his gaze.

He pulled Chu Lian into his embrace without caring for their audience, hugging Chu Lian around her narrow waist and stroking Chu Lian’s smooth hair tenderly.

He mumbled, “Lian’er, we… we have a child!”

In his past life, He Changdi had never consummated his marriage with ‘Chu Lian’. Later on, when House Jing’an had fallen and he had been exiled, his very survival had been a problem out in the bitter north. With revenge on his mind, he hadn’t had the time to consider relationships with women.

Thus, this child was his very first. Now that he was going to become a father for the first time, and the person who was going to bear the next generation for him was a woman he deeply loved, the last bits of ice locking his heart fully melted away.

The servants, Senior Servant Zhong and Xiyan included amongst them, finally reacted to the news. Joy shone from all of their faces; Senior Servant Zhong’s eyes couldn’t even be seen from how widely she was beaming.

Great Doctor Miao harrumphed, “Don’t get too happy yet! Tell me, did you hear what I just said?”

He Changdi and Chu Lian’s hearts thumped in unison.
