Chapter 455: Less than a Month Pregnancy
"Baizhi, come and help the master to lie down in the inner room."
There was a hint of urgency in Cui Jinxi's voice.
She understood that the letter sent to the top of the mountain was a reminder from Concubine Shu that the plan had begun.
Zhen Huan must not make any mistakes at this critical juncture!
Bai Zhi immediately followed Cui Jinxi's instructions. Her gaze gently swept across Zhen Huan's closed eyes, and a complex look flashed in her eyes.
Now Zhen Huan fainted from the shock. If she were to die, would the rest of the Zhen family...
However, Bai Zhi's gaze swept across Cui Jinxi, who looked anxious, and the waves in her heart quickly calmed down.
Ever since Prince Guo and his servant left Lingyun Peak, she discovered that Cui Jinxi was paying unusual attention to Zhen Huan.
Not only did he let her drink red date tea every day, but he also stewed tonic food for her every now and then.
Although Cui Jinxi claimed that those things were sent by Prince Guo, Bai Zhi always felt that she was not telling the truth.
No matter what secrets Cui Jinxi is hiding, as long as she continues to stay with Zhen Huan, the truth will come out one day.
Not long after Zhen Huan was placed on the bed, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes full of pain.
"Master, you finally woke up!"
Cui Jinxi, who had been guarding the bed, exclaimed with joy.
"You just fainted suddenly and frightened me. I have sent Bai Zhi down the mountain to fetch a doctor."
"Master, for the sake of your family, you must also take care of yourself."
When Zhen Huan heard the mention of "family members", she hurriedly asked.
"Aunt Jinxi, where is the letter I read before I fainted?"
"Master, I have put the letter away and will go get it right away."
Cui Jinxi had read the above content and knew that she definitely had not finished reading it.
The people sent by Concubine Shu and her son were ruthless. Zhen Yuandao's legs were crippled. Madam Zhen and Zhen Yuyao, mother and daughter, had to show up in public to make a living.
Even Zhen Yuyao, who had grown up, often dressed up as an ugly person to avoid harassment.
The Queen Dowager is trying to completely arouse Zhen Huan's hatred towards the Emperor!
I wonder if she has any more cruel tricks up her sleeve?
Cui Jinxi thought silently in her heart.
She was worried that Zhen Huan would faint again due to emotional excitement, so she served her a cup of red date tea before handing her the letter.
"Master, you are the support of the family, so please don't let anything happen to you."
"Don't worry, Aunt Jinxi. I can handle it."
Zhen Huan took a deep breath, unfolded the paper and continued reading.
Seeing the miserable plight of her family in Ningguta, her heart was broken and tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.
Cui Jinxi handed the handkerchief to Zhen Huan and whispered advice.
"Master, the prince values you so much that he will naturally have his servants take good care of your family."
"Aunt Jinxi, you're right. Do you know how to contact the person who sent the letter?"
Zhen Huan was eager to know the latest news about her Ningguta family.
If she had the chance, she would like to write a letter home to her suffering family members.
Cui Jinxi shook her head in embarrassment. "Master, the unsigned envelope was brought up in Baizhi's backpack. I've inquired carefully, and Baizhi didn't even notice anyone approaching."
"I cannot guess the identity of the messenger. We can only wait for him to deliver the message."
Zhen Huan understood that what Cui Jinxi said made sense.
The person the master and servant were most familiar with was A Jin, who was beside Prince Guo. She had been thinking of using Bai Zhi to win over A Jin a few days ago, but unfortunately A Jin was not up to the task, which made Bai Zhi...
When Zhen Huan thought of her father who loved her the most being seriously ill, she suddenly felt powerless.
She ordered weakly while lying on the bed.
"Aunt Jinxi, I want to be alone for a while."
"Okay, Master, I'll be out right away."
When Cui Jinxi went out, she thoughtfully closed the door.
Baizhi went down the mountain to ask for a doctor. There was no one on the path, and she was the only one walking around on the entire peak.
Cui Jinxi closed the doors and windows immediately after returning to her room. Not long after, the sound of flapping leaves could be heard from the top of the silent Lingyun Peak.
At this time, Bai Zhi, who was in a hurry to see a doctor, met an unexpected person on the road.
"Doctor Wen, why are you here?"
"Miss Baizhi, I'm on vacation today, so I came to visit your young lady."
Wen Shichu had dealt with Bai Zhi before and knew that she was someone Zhen Huan trusted, so he did not hide his intentions.
When he watched Huan'er suffer, he was worried about her but also felt a little secretly happy.
But not long after, he was sent out of the capital by the emperor to see a highly respected old lady.
Unexpectedly, he would be away for more than two years. During this period, Wen Shichu wanted to write to Zhen Huan countless times, but he was afraid of causing trouble to Zhen Huan, who was already living a difficult life, so he suppressed his longing for his sweetheart in his heart.
In order to return to the capital as soon as possible, Wen Shichu devoted himself to studying medical books and finally fulfilled the emperor's order and cured Madam Zhang who had been bedridden for many years.
As soon as he entered the capital, he went straight to Ganlu Temple.
Perhaps it was not their destiny, Wen Shichu never met Zhen Huan.
Later, something bad happened to the Fourth Prince, and Wen Shichu was almost trapped in the Yong'an Prince's Mansion.
It was only in the past few days that Concubine Yu found a suitable palace doctor, and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Shichu could no longer suppress his longing for Zhen Huan, so he planned to climb Lingyun Peak quietly.
He was afraid of hearing Bai Zhi say again that Huan'er didn't want to see him, so he quickly explained.
"I came up the mountain this time because I have something important to tell your daughter. I wonder..."
Bai Zhi interrupted hurriedly.
"Doctor Wen, you've arrived just in time. My master just fainted. Please go and take a look."
Wen Shichu's feelings for Zhen Huan are obvious. How would he react if he knew what happened between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo?
"I'll go up the mountain now."
When Wen Shichu heard that Zhen Huan had fainted, he quickly quickened his pace.
He walked too fast in his haste, and soon left Baizhi far behind.
Bai Zhi deliberately put Wen Shichu up there. When she reached the top, Cui Jinxi was stopping Wen Shichu and talking to him.
She quickly said, "Doctor Wen, how come you run so fast? I almost lost you."
Wen Shichu then remembered that he had indeed ignored Bai Zhi. He was about to explain when Zhen Huan's voice came from inside the room.
"Aunt Jinxi, please let Doctor Wen come in and talk."
Cui Jinxi was stunned and stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you, auntie."
Wen Shichu stepped over the threshold in two steps and greeted him with heartache.
"Huan'er, you've lost a lot of weight."
Zhen Huan was already worried about her father's safety, and now when she saw the neighbor brother she grew up with, she couldn't help but complain like she did when she was a child.
"Brother Shichu, there's news from Ningguta that my father is critically ill."
"Huan'er, don't worry too much. As soon as I get to Lingyun Peak, I'll send someone to Ningguta to inquire about my uncle's news."
Greedily gazing at his beloved, Wen Shichu spoke in a gentle voice to comfort her.
"I heard from Bai Zhi that you fainted earlier. Can I take your pulse?"
Zhen Huan was now completely exhausted, and since Wen Shichu was someone she trusted, she extended her wrist without hesitation.
"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Shichu."
As soon as Wen Shichu touched Zhen Huan's wrist, his heart beat faster involuntarily.
But when he identified the pulse, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Huan'er, is this a slippery pulse?
No way! How could the pure and innocent Huan'er be pregnant?
He must have seen it wrong!
Unwilling to believe in evil, Wen Shichu grabbed Zhen Huan's other hand without regard for etiquette. He trembled as he placed his fingers on his beloved's pulse, feeling the beating carefully under his hand.
The pulse is like rolling beads, it is definitely a slippery pulse!
Zhen Huan noticed that Wen Shichu's expression was not right, so she asked hurriedly.
"Brother Shichu, what's wrong with Huan'er?"
Wen Shichu took a deep breath and said while staring into Zhen Huan's eyes.
"Your pulse indicates that you are pregnant, and the pregnancy is less than a month old."
When Zhen Huan heard that she was pregnant with Yunli's child, she was overwhelmed with great surprise.
"Brother Shichu, are you sure Huan'er is really pregnant?"
When Wen Shi first saw Zhen Huan, his face was filled with joy. He understood her expectations for the child.
He nodded with difficulty.
Zhen Huan stroked her belly carefully, and her gentle look hurt Wen Shichu's heart.
He tilted his head and noticed the eye-catching big red double happiness characters on the wall.
