After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

At this moment, Xiao Jingyi was visibly panicked, and his hands as he held Lin Qingrou were shaking a little.

No matter how bumpy the carriage was along the way, Lin Qingrou didn't react at all, which made it difficult for Xiao Jingyi not to worry.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

Xiao Jingyi put Lin Qingrou on the bed and waved his hand, "Doctor Ding, it's been almost an hour and Rou'er hasn't woken up yet. Come over and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ding did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried forward to treat Lin Qingrou.

Doctor Ding took Lin Qingrou's pulse and his expression gradually changed, from confusion to shock, and then he frowned slightly.

When Tang Yingqian saw Doctor Ding's reaction, she knew that Lin Qingrou was in trouble. Doctor Ding was also a veteran in the Imperial Hospital, so it was impossible for him not to know about the existence of fake pregnancy drugs.

Doctor Ding should have noticed something was wrong when he saw Lin Qingrou's pulse. Judging from his expression, he must have figured out the cause.

Xiao Jingyi, who was waiting anxiously on the side, became even more anxious when he saw that Doctor Ding had not spoken, and could not help but ask: "Doctor Ding, how is Rou'er, can you say something?"

Doctor Ding quickly took his hand away and said to Xiao Jingyi, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Aunt Lin is fine. She just suffered a great shock and needs some time to recover."

Xiao Jingyi heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. "That's good. What about the child? Is the child not affected?"

Doctor Ding was a little at a loss when he heard this. As expected, what was coming could not be avoided.

Doctor Ding knew very well how much Xiao Jingyi cared about this child, and for a moment he didn't know how to start.

"Your Majesty, this...I don't know what to say."

When Xiao Jingyi heard this, he thought something had happened to the child and immediately became anxious.

"Doctor Ding, why are you so hesitant today? Tell me what's wrong. Do you want to drive me crazy?"

Tang Yingqian knew why Doctor Ding was so hesitant, so she tried to comfort him, "Don't be anxious, Your Majesty. Listen to what Doctor Ding has to say."

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyi realized that he was too excited just now, and he was afraid that he had frightened Doctor Ding so much that he dared not speak anymore.

"Princess, you are right. I am too excited. Doctor Ding, please speak. I am listening."

Doctor Ding looked at Tang Yingqian with great gratitude. If she hadn't said something to comfort him, Xiao Jingyi would have eaten him alive.

"Your Highness, the child is fine. No, it should be said that there is no such child at all. Aunt Lin is not pregnant at all."

Looking at Xiao Jingyi's increasingly angry face, Doctor Ding didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Not only was she not pregnant, but there was no way she could possibly be pregnant.

Xiao Jingyi was so angry that he slammed the table heavily, "What did you say? It was you who said she was pregnant, and now it's you who said she's not pregnant. Doctor Ding, are you playing tricks on me?"

Xiao Jingyi was very scary when he got angry, and Doctor Ding was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, calm down and allow me to explain. Even if you give me a hundred guts, I would not dare to lie to you. Aunt Lin had always had a pulse of pregnancy before, but today when I felt her pulse, I felt something was wrong. The pulse of pregnancy had disappeared. Based on my many years of experience, Aunt Lin must have taken a medicine that can make her pulse look like a pregnancy pulse."

Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly when he heard this, "There is such a medicine? Doctor Ding, please don't lie to me just to get away with it."

Doctor Ding hurriedly explained, "I dare not. Your Highness, you may not know that there is such a medicine. The late emperor's concubine Rong used this fake pregnancy medicine to win favor. But the effect of this medicine is only one month, and the pulse will return to normal after one month. Concubine Rong not only relied on this fake pregnancy medicine to gain favor, but also pretended to have a miscarriage to frame Concubine Qiu, who was quite favored at the time. However, although Concubine Rong succeeded, she was eventually discovered. The late emperor was furious and directly executed Concubine Rong. After that, no one dared to mention this matter again. I was also one of the imperial doctors who handled it, so I know about it."

Tang Yingqian noticed that the more Doctor Ding spoke, the uglier Xiao Jingyi's expression became. He was probably already lumping Lin Qingrou and Concubine Rong into the same category in his mind.

Tang Yingqian smiled slightly and decided to give him another push.

"Doctor Ding, what you meant just now is that my sister is also faking pregnancy to win favor like Concubine Rong did back then?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ding hastily denied it, "Princess, I did not mean that. I just happened to know about this matter and wanted to give Your Majesty another idea."

At this time, Xiao Jingyi had begun to doubt Lin Qingrou in his heart, but he didn't dare to fully believe that she would plan such an ingenious plan.

"If it's as Doctor Ding said, this fake pregnancy drug should be hard to get. How could Rou'er get it?"

Xiao Jingyi's voice trembled slightly at this moment, and Tang Yingqian knew that Xiao Jingyi had been shaken when she heard it.

In fact, he had already begun to doubt Lin Qingrou, but he still tried his best to find an excuse for her and didn't want to believe it.

Tang Yingqian was sitting here, so she naturally couldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"My Lord, there is something I am not sure whether I should say or not."

Xiao Jingyi was trying hard to help Lin Qingrou clear suspicion. When he heard Tang Yingqian ask this, he thought about their good relationship and hoped that Tang Yingqian could help.

So Xiao Jingyi hurriedly said, "Princess, please speak."

Tang Yingqian knew from Xiao Jingyi's expression that he must have thought that she would speak up for Lin Qingrou, so he was so impatient.

Unfortunately, he was completely wrong.

"My sister's maternal grandfather was a businessman. My sister once told me that her grandfather often met merchants from other countries and could always buy some strange things, many of which we don't have or are rare. Your Majesty, is there a possibility that my sister got the fake pregnancy medicine from here?"

Tang Yingqian's words undoubtedly pushed Lin Qingrou another step to the edge of the cliff. As Lin Qingrou's close friend, her words were very convincing.

After hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's expression became even more complicated. "Princess, do you also think that this was staged by Rou'er herself, faking pregnancy to win favor?"

Xiao Jingyi asked this directly, and Tang Yingqian naturally could not admit it.

Tang Yingqian quickly shook her head, "Your Highness, that's not what I meant. Of course, I am willing to believe that my sister is innocent. However, as Doctor Ding said, this possibility cannot be ruled out. I am just telling you what I know for your reference. Please don't wrongly accuse me."

After these words were spoken, Xiao Jingyi didn't know what to say, and the room instantly became quiet.

At this moment, a voice rang out, breaking the silence in the air.

"I greet you, my Lord and my Lady. What happened? Why is it so quiet?"
