Things turned out just as the Queen had expected. Ten days later, Concubine Shen's period came as usual.

After knowing this, Pearl couldn't help but sighed, "Alas, the young lady didn't get pregnant again this time... I can only try again next month, but I don't know if I will have the chance to sleep with you next month..."

Although her period had come, Concubine Shen was not too upset. Instead, she felt somewhat fortunate. At that time of next month, it would be the Fifth Prince’s hundred-day banquet!

She could meet King Anling, and if she happened to be pregnant with King Anling's child, then their plan would have sufficient reason to proceed smoothly.

"My lady, my lady, why don't you feel uncomfortable at all?" After hearing this, Zhenzhu looked at Concubine Shen who was in a trance and asked

"Oh, what's the use of feeling uncomfortable? Your period has already come!" Shen Guiren came back to her senses and said casually.

Pearl curled her lips helplessly. Such a good opportunity was missed again. The master's letter was coming again...

"Although the young lady's favor is not much, it is not too little compared to others... Why can't I get pregnant every time? It's strange!" Pearl said depressedly

Concubine Shen evaded the question by saying, "How would I know? Maybe it's just my poor health."

Zhenzhu still couldn't understand, "Noble Lady Yu was so weak, but she was able to conceive a dragon fetus. You, my lady, are so energetic and radiant. This shouldn't be the case..."

Shen Guiren said, "That means it's not our destiny yet!"

Qianqing Gate

Qin An waited for several days, but Haitang didn't come to see him.

Qin An guessed in his heart, could it be that Haitang didn't want to see him? That shouldn't be the case, Haitang was so close to him before.

Or did the imperial physician fail to pass on the message last time? He looked impatient, it must be him! If he had passed on the message, Haitang would definitely come to find him.

So, Qin An chose a day when he was not on duty and came to the door of Yufangzhai early and wandered around.

After waiting for a while, Yufangzhai finally opened its door. Qin An looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. He quickly and quietly walked to the door and asked the eunuch guarding the door, "Young man, I want to ask you something."

The eunuch guarding the gate was confused and asked, "What's wrong, brother guard?"

When Qin An heard the other party call him "Big Brother Guard", he smiled awkwardly and said, "Excuse me, is Miss Haitang in there?"

The gatekeeper nodded and said, "You mean Sister Haitang? She must be inside!"

Qin An approached the other person and said, "Could you please be flexible and help me pass on a message for Miss Haitang?"

The eunuch at the gate asked, "What?"

Qin An whispered, "Just say someone is waiting for her and ask her to come out!"

The gatekeeper refused after hearing this and said, "Forget it. I don't know you, so who knows what you are up to!"

Qin An held his forehead and said, "You don't know me, but Haitang knows me! We have lost contact, so please help me call her out. I have something to say to her."

The gatekeeper shook his head and said, "I dare not. If you have bad intentions and do something excessive to Sister Haitang, the young master will definitely not let me off easily!"

Qin An sighed and said, "Take a good look at me. I am a guard in charge of guarding the town. Am I the shameless person you said I was?"

The eunuch at the gate sneered, "You can only know a person's face but not his heart. Besides, who doesn't know what happened to Concubine Rou? Wasn't it you guards who did it?"

"If you ask me, you guards are not as good as our eunuchs. At least we have no distracting thoughts and are pure! We won't cause trouble."

Qin An was shocked when he heard this. "What did you say? Our guards are not as good as your father-in-law? Young man, are you kidding me? Aren't we free of distractions and at ease on duty?"

The eunuch guarding the gate said disdainfully, "Tsk~ You are the only ones who have no distractions. If you have no distractions and don't guard properly, what are you doing in our Yufangzhai!"

"You!" Qin An was speechless.

The gatekeeper eunuch took advantage of the situation and said, "See, I've exposed you. What you said about having no distractions and being at ease on duty was all Sister Haitang's idea!"

Qin An blushed and said, "You little eunuch, what nonsense are you talking about? We are good friends!"

The gatekeeper overheard and pushed Qin An out angrily, "Who do you call a eunuch? Hurry up and leave! If you don't leave, I'll call for help!"

Qin An was afraid that the eunuch guarding the gate would really call someone over. After all, he was just a guard, and if he was hanging around in front of a concubine's palace, not only would he be punished, but he would also bring shame to Concubine Yu's reputation.

"Okay, I'm leaving now." Qin An left here dejectedly.

On Qin An's way back, he happened to meet Doctor Chen walking towards him.

Doctor Chen saw Qin An from afar, looking dusty and dusty, and thought to himself, this silly guard must have been humiliated by that unruly palace maid again!

Thinking of this, Doctor Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

It was not until he got closer that Qin An realized it was Doctor Chen. Qin An said excitedly, "Doctor, it's great! I meet you again!"

Doctor Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Are you going to see that maid again?"

Qin An nodded excitedly at first, "I'll go see him!"

After hearing this, Doctor Chen felt a little unhappy.

Then Qin An shook his head helplessly and said, "Alas! But I didn't see..."

After hearing this, Doctor Chen was delighted, but then he immediately thought, if he didn't see it, wouldn't he have to trouble himself again the next second?

Doctor Chen ran away immediately, saying, "I'm leaving now! I won't talk to you anymore! After checking the pulse of Lady Yu, there is still a lot of work to do in the Imperial Hospital!"

Before Qin An could react, Doctor Chen had already walked away.

"Hey! This imperial physician! This imperial physician! Wait a minute!" Qin An shouted at the back of the imperial physician Chen.

Doctor Chen didn't dare to look back and just rushed forward. After all, Qin An was a guard and had some skills, so he quickly rushed ahead of Doctor Chen.

"See, I told you to wait for me, but you didn't! And you still got caught up by me!" Qin An clapped his hands proudly and said

Doctor Chen ignored him and walked forward on his own.

"Imperial Physician, please help me pass on another message! Didn't you deliver your message last time? She didn't even come to Qianqing Gate to find me!" Qin An said as he walked.

Doctor Chen said nothing and just kept walking forward.

"Doctor, why are you ignoring me? Doctor, please help me one more time!" Qin An said anxiously.

When they reached the door, Doctor Chen was let in smoothly, but Qin An was turned away!

The gatekeeper saw Qin An coming back and said excitedly, "It's you again! Why are you back? I'm going to call for help!"

Qin An quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, no, young man, I'm leaving right away, right away!"

Qin An had no choice but to leave here again in shame. When leaving, Qin An was reluctant to look back at the palace gate of Yufangzhai, and couldn't stop thinking in his heart.

Haitang, what's wrong with you? What happened?
