It's been a long time since Yun Shang heard about the Eldest Princess. She smiled and said, "I thought she wouldn't leave the Jin City. People like the Eldest Princess were so desperate for power. She wouldn't go far if she thinks she still has the chance. But she is really daring. If she is caught by the emperor, I'm afraid she will suffer."
Ning Qian nodded. "But her plan was almost ruined by Your Highness. I'm afraid that she will take revenge on you. You are pregnant now. You must be careful."
Yun Shang replied in a low voice and walked out of the Xiang Zhu Palace.
Yun Shang stopped at the imperial garden. She was lost in thought. It wasn't difficult to change one's pulse, but it must be done from the food. Ning Qian was not careless person. The Xiang Zhu Palace was where she lived, and she wouldn't put herself in danger. Her attendants must be people trusted by her, and she had faith in Ning Qian's loyalty.
Yun Shang's eyes darkened. She pressed her lips and silently looked at the plum blossoms in the imperial garden. If someone could play tricks on Ning Qian who has been on alert and careful enough, the opponent could not be underestimated.
Yun Shang was still immersed in her own thoughts when Qin Yi saw someone coming from a long distance. She quickly stepped forward, walked behind Yun Shang, and whispered, "Your Highness, His Majesty is coming."
Yun Shang came to her senses and looked up. She saw that Xia Huanyu was still wearing the court uniform, followed by Liu Wenan and a few maids and eunuchs. It was too late to avoid him, Yun Shang walked up to him with Qin Yi.
"Your Majesty." Yun Shang curtsied to Xia Huanyu.
Xia Huanyu looked at Yun Shang indifferently and nodded slightly. "Get up."
When Yun Shang got up, Xia Huanyu looked into the distance. "Did you just come out of the Xiang Zhu Palace?"
Yun Shang knew that no secret in the palace could be hidden from Xia Huanyu. Besides, it's not a secret, so she replied with a smile, "Yes. I entered the palace to greet the Empress. But I didn't expect to hear that Lady Xiang is pregnant. So I came there."
"Yes, it is indeed a good news," Xia Huanyu said in a pleasant voice, "You have good medical skills. If you are free, you couls take a pulse for Lady Xiang and check the condition of the baby."
Hearing that, a touch of inquiry flashed in Yun Shang's eyes. She smiled and said in a very relaxed tone, "Your Majesty, I'm not able to be a doctor, but I do always take pulse for people. I have done it in the Xiang Zhu Palace just now." Lady Xiang has been pregnant for less than a month. Her slippery pulse hasn't become obvious, but she should be all right. Please rest assured.
Hearing Yun Shang's words, Xia Huanyu nodded with a smile. "Now that you have said so, I'm relieved."
Yun Shang sensed that Xia Huanyu had some meaning beyond his words. She thought for a while and realized that she might just overthink. After a pause, Xia Huanyu added, "it's late now. I saw you were about to leave the palace just now. You could leave now."
