Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 697

When they arrived at the Xiang Zhu Palace, they saw all the attendants being cheerful as they were supposed to be. As their master got favored and promoted, they could also live easier in the imperial palace full of snobbish people. Now that their master had been pregnant. It was no wonder that everyone was happy.

"Your Highness." As soon as Yun Shang entered the main hall, a maid raised the curtain to welcome her into the inner hall.

Ning Qian was not lying on the bed, but sitting on a chair behind the desk. She was not as happy as the attendants were.

At the sight of Yun Shang, Ning Qian raised her head, smiled at her, and dismissed the maids. The maids backed out the room, but Ning Qian didn't speak. Instead, she closed her eyes and pondered for a long time.

Yun Shang knew that she was probing the surroundings with her internal force, so she sat down and waited quietly.

After a long while, Ning Qian opened her eyes, stood up, walked to Yun Shang, and stretched out an arm, "My lady, I don't believe those imperial physicians. Help me take my pulse. I felt there must be something wrong. I took the pills every time after I served His Majesty. It was made according to the prescription given by Your Highness..."

Frowning at Ning Qian's words, Yun Shang put her fingers on Ning Qian's wrist. None of them spoke anything. After a long time, Yun Shang took back her hands. Ning Qian's gaze was fixed on Yun Shang. Yun Shang meditated for a moment before she opened her mouth.

"There is a sign of slippery pulse, but it is not obvious. Maybe it has been less than a month."

Surprise was written all over Ning Qian's face. She shook her head, "No way."

After a short silence, Yun Shang said, "Give me the pills, and I'll see if someone has tampered with the pills."

Ning Qian rose to her feet at Yun Shang's words. She took out a few pills from her pillow and handed them to Yun Shang. "I even didn't tell my maids about these pills. I always took it secretly."

Yun Shang took over the pills, put them under her nose, and sniffed. Then she unfolded the pills, and examined them for a long time before saying, "Nothing wrong." After a pause, she continued, "Since there is nothing wrong with the pills and you are sure that you have taken them every time, then it's impossible that you have get pregnant. However..."

Yun Shang frowned. "Your do have a slippery pulse, though weak. I heard from the empress that you were less than a month pregnant, so it's normal that the slippery pulse is not obvious."

After a long while, Yun Shang looked at Ning Qian and asked, "Were the imperial physicians very sure that you had been pregnant? With no doubts?"

Ning Qian nodded, "His Majesty came here for lunch and I tested all the dishes for him as usual. But before I asked His Majesty to eat, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my stomach. Just after I stopped His Majesty, I couldn't help vomiting. The Emperor summoned six imperial physicians who were on duty. They took turns to take my pulse and all of them told the Emperor with certainty that I had been pregnant." Hearing this, Yun Shang looked at the armrest of the chair and said coldly, "There must be a trick."
