Her elder sister steals her husband? She marries the God of War and is pampered beyond measure!

Chapter 210 The Imperial Physician Arrives to Take Pulse!

Su Mowan returned to the Qin Prince's Mansion with a belly full of questions. After returning to Huangfeng Garden, she thought about it and decided to send someone to find Su Ruofeng.

"Yinshuang, have someone inform my second brother that it might be the daughter of the Minister of Rites who went to the restaurant to look for him."

"Yes."

Yinshuang nodded in agreement and immediately set about doing it.

Su Mowan thought about it for a while and felt that things might be a little bad, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. So she could only catch the kitten that was wandering around in front of her looking for attention and rub it in her arms.

The cat stretched its legs comfortably and made a very gentle meow.

Su Mowan picked it up by its two front paws and shook it, muttering to herself, "Fu Yingli went to see my brother and even cried. Could it be that her family doesn't approve of her marriage to my brother?"

A moment later, Yinshuang came in and said that she had already sent someone to the general's mansion to inform them.

Su Mowan hadn't eaten at the restaurant and was now hungry. Just as she was about to ask Yinshuang to get her something to eat, Wei Mama, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, came in, waving her hands.

He still had a smile on his face.

Seeing that she wasn't carrying anything, Su Mowan breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her before Wei Mama could.

"Is Granny Wei looking for me?"

"Of course, I can only turn to you!"

Granny Wei beamed and approached, saying, "It's perfect timing that you're here. A royal physician has come to the manor, sent by Her Majesty the Empress! He says he wants to take your pulse! Haven't you been feeling unwell and fatigued the past couple of days? It's a good opportunity to have the imperial physician examine you and prescribe some medicine to replenish your energy and nourish the fetus!"

"The imperial physician?!"

Su Mowan, who had been lazily leaning against the low couch, sat up abruptly upon hearing those two words.

Granny Wei quickly exclaimed "Oh dear!" and pressed the woman back down on the low couch, repeatedly saying, "Slow down, slow down! You can't be so startled! It's not good for the baby in your belly!"

Su Mowan chuckled awkwardly, clutching her stomach.

She winked at Yinshuang, who returned a look of 'I can't help you'.

Qinghe, however, joined in the commotion with Granny Wei, saying happily, "That's right, Consort Su! This is wonderful news! Her Majesty the Empress even sent the imperial physician to take your pulse, which shows that Her Majesty the Empress values ​​you highly!"

What a load of rubbish.

The Empress didn't value her; she valued the so-called imperial grandson who wasn't actually in her womb.

If we're talking about valuing someone, Su Mowan felt that Emperor Moyao truly valued him. Perhaps the imperial physician wasn't summoned by the Empress, but rather by Emperor Moyao himself.

Suppressing her panic, Su Mowan asked Granny Wei, "Granny, when did the imperial physician arrive, and where is he now?"

"It didn't take long."

As she spoke, Granny Wei gently draped the cloak that was placed to the side over Su Mowan's shoulders and said with a smile, "I reckon she just came out of the palace when the court session ended. She just arrived a moment ago. Oh, and the Seventh Princess came along too. They're all in Fenghua Palace now. The Prince just got back as well!"

Whether the Seventh Princess came with the imperial physician or with Murong Jing is not important. What is important is that the annual drama of deceiving the emperor is about to be exposed!

Su Mowan knew that Murong Jing, as the chief examiner, had just returned from the Hanlin Academy.

The problem is that there's no time to discuss it with Murong Jing now! The imperial physician is in Fenghua Palace. If she goes there, she'll definitely be caught and have her pulse taken. But if she doesn't go, what excuse can she use to avoid it?

This is really worrying!

Murong Jing committed many sins, yet she has to bear the consequences!

Just as Su Mowan was gritting her teeth and worrying, Feng Yue came in, carrying a bowl of something.

Su Mowan craned her neck to look.

That's strange. When did Feng Yue take over Wei Mama's job?

Bringing food and drinks, isn't that what Granny Wei should be doing?

Clearly, Granny Wei was also puzzled. Before Feng Yue even got close, she raised her voice and asked, "What is that thing you're holding in your hand?"

Feng Yue's face showed no smile as he said respectfully, "This is medicine that the master instructed the kitchen to prepare for Consort Su. Please drink it while it's hot so that the imperial physician can take your pulse later."

It was a completely businesslike attitude and tone.

However, Su Mowan caught the unspoken meaning in his words. She exchanged a glance with Feng Yue and, sure enough, received the hint. Her eyes flashed, and she smiled as she took the bowl of medicine.

But upon seeing the appearance of the medicine in the bowl, Su Mowan hesitated to eat it. It looked utterly disgusting! Although it smelled similar to the medicinal dishes that Granny Wei had brought before, this dark, unappetizing appearance…

Su Mowan gritted her teeth and was about to drink it.

Granny Wei quickly stopped her: "Wait, wait! Consort Su, there's no rush! Why didn't the Prince mention preparing medicine for Consort Su before?"

This question was directed at Feng Yue.

Feng Yue remained expressionless.

“Last night, Consort Su was not feeling well, so Your Majesty found a doctor to prescribe medicine for her. This medicine was just brewed by someone under my supervision.”

Hearing him say that, Granny Wei glanced at the dark medicine again and finally her doubts dissipated.

"Is that so? It seems that Your Highness still cares about people. Consort Su, please drink it, so as to fulfill Your Highness's good intentions."

"..."

Thank you so much for your kind intentions!

Su Mowan held her breath, tilted her head back, and gulped down several mouthfuls of medicine. The bowl was empty in no time. Qinghe quickly took the empty bowl and grabbed a handkerchief to wipe the medicine from the corner of Su Mowan's mouth.

Su Mowan took the handkerchief and wiped herself.

She let out a couple of breaths, her expression conflicted: "This medicine is too bitter, Feng Yue, remember to add some sugar next time."

"……Yes."

Feng Yue nodded with his head down, thinking to himself that there probably wouldn't be a next time.

If the imperial physician hadn't arrived so suddenly, the master wouldn't have needed to resort to such a tactic.

After Feng Yue left, seeing that the room was full of women, Wei Mama no longer held back and asked directly, "Consort Su, did you sleep with the Prince last night?"

"……Yes."

Su Mowan instinctively wanted to deny it, but when she remembered what Feng Yue had just said, she hesitated for a moment before admitting it.

Unexpectedly, Wei Mama's face, which had been beaming just moments before, suddenly turned serious, and she frowned with worry, asking, "Does His Highness not have that?"

Which one?

Su Mowan didn't react for a moment, blinked and glared back at Granny Wei.

Granny Wei coughed, glanced at Qinghe Yinshuang standing to the side, and lowered her voice to say, "It's that... sexual intercourse."

"..."

When Su Mowan looked up, she saw that Qinghe's face had turned red, while Yinshuang was tightly pursing her lips, clearly suppressing a laugh.

Su Mowan felt both embarrassed and annoyed, and also a little amused and exasperated.

Her face flushed slightly: "No, don't worry about it, Granny, I know that."

Sexual intercourse is not allowed during the first few months of pregnancy.

"That's fine, that's fine!"

Upon receiving Su Mowan's reply, Granny Wei was finally relieved, but still said, "It seems this old servant must clearly explain to the Prince that it's best not to sleep in the same room."

What if it accidentally goes off?

As she spoke, Granny Wei was about to get up: "Consort Su, please take your medicine and rest well. There's no rush with the imperial physician. I'll bring him over after noon."

Su Mowan quickly asked Yinshuang to send the person away.

After Wei Mama left, Qinghe approached Su Mowan with a grin and kept staring at her belly.

"Consort Su, why is it that other pregnant women suffer terribly, vomiting and unable to eat, while you are perfectly fine? And why isn't your belly growing?"

"..."

Su Mowan had a vague feeling that after drinking the bowl of medicine, a warm fire seemed to have been lit in her lower abdomen.

She reached out and gently rubbed it a couple of times, then explained rather weakly, "I'm so healthy, what could possibly happen to me? Only those delicate women who are pregnant get tormented like this. I'm strong and healthy, the little one can't handle it!"

"Besides, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Why would you want me to be restless?"

Qinghe quickly smiled apologetically, "Of course, I'm so glad you're alright! I was just curious!"

Su Mowan cleared her throat, speaking with an air of experience: "As for your belly not growing, that's because it's not time for it to grow yet. Generally speaking, it takes at least three or four months to show any signs of growing."

Su Mowan knew this; the first pregnancy usually doesn't show until around four months, and sometimes even five months, while the second pregnancy usually shows earlier.

This is generally the case.

I don't know if it would be accurate in ancient times, but it was enough to fool Qinghe.

After seeing the person off from Huangfeng Garden, Yinshuang turned back and saw Qinghe about to surround Su Mowan with all sorts of curiosity. She pulled her aside and said, "Go out and do your work. It's not good for the baby in your womb if you keep circling around Consort Su."

"How could that be?" Qinghe stared at her in disbelief.

Yinshuang gave him a look that said, "You're too young to understand." "Of course you will. Do you know what 'resting quietly' means? It means quietly resting during pregnancy. You talk too much and you'll disturb the baby in your belly."

"……Oh."

Qinghe was speechless after Yinshuang's words, and left with a pout.

After everyone left, Su Mowan asked Yinshuang, "Do you know what Feng Yue brought?"

Yinshuang hesitated before nodding, her tone uncertain: "Perhaps it's a medicine that can fool the imperial physician."

Su Mowan thought so too.

After drinking that bowl of medicine, I felt something different in my lower abdomen; it felt strange.

She knew that there were drugs in ancient times that could induce a false pregnancy. The imperial physician had only been there a short while before Murong Jing brought the drug over. Su Mowan couldn't help but wonder if Murong Jing had prepared it in advance.

Anyway, let's get rid of the imperial physician first.

Su Mo lay down comfortably, her tone slightly coquettish: "Go get some congee, I'm a little hungry."

"Would you like some sugar?" Yinshuang asked.

She asked this question because she had just heard Su Mowan say that Feng Yue should add sugar next time.

Su Mowan was a little taken aback.

Why add sugar?

"The medicine was too bitter, so..."

Su Mowan shook her head and smiled, "No, that medicine just looks unpleasant to drink, but it's not actually bitter."

"..."

So you're asking Feng Yue to add sugar next time?

Su Mowan noticed Yinshuang's confusion, and smiled.

"You don't understand, this is called playing the whole act, otherwise Granny Wei will start asking all sorts of questions and becoming suspicious."

"..."
