On a quiet night when everyone was sleeping soundly, the eunuch Qinxiang had arranged in advance was ready to take action at this moment.

The young eunuch secretly opened the window and inserted the smoke-enhancing tube inside without anyone noticing.

Second day

Qinxiang reported this to Concubine Rou, "Your Majesty, that little Guozi put the smoke inside, and Concubine Shen and her maids didn't notice it."

Concubine Rou nodded, "Very good."

Qin Xiang asked curiously, "My Lady, is Concubine Shen's dragon fetus in danger?"

Concubine Rou glanced at Qinxiang and said, "How is that possible? It will take some time. Just ask Xiao Guozi to continue doing it these days."

Qinxiang then understood that her mistress's smoke was not a fatal blow, but a slow-moving knife that killed people.

For several days in a row, every night when Xiao Guozi was on guard, he would quietly release smoke into the house.

In a flash, another half month passed.

Concubine Rou asked, "The person living opposite, has he summoned the imperial physician recently?"

Qin Xiang thought for a moment and said, "There is an imperial physician named Tan who comes to check Concubine Shen's pulse from time to time, but I didn't see anything abnormal with him."

Concubine Rou frowned and said, "Doctor Tan comes here every day. Even if there is something abnormal, we can't see it. Go find a palace maid who is not tight-lipped and ask her to see if you can find out anything."

Just as Qinxiang was about to leave, Concubine Rou reminded her again, "Don't forget to take some silver with you."

Qinxiang: "Yes! I understand."

After Qinxiang went out, she found an opportunity to approach a maid in the opposite palace, showed her silver and asked, "How is your young master doing recently?"

The palace maid stared at the silver in Qinxiang's hand with bright eyes.

He answered truthfully, "My young lady has been doing well lately. Even though she is pregnant, she still eats well and sleeps well. There is nothing special about her."

Qin Xiang asked suspiciously, "Other people have a hard time being pregnant, but your young lady doesn't have anything wrong?"

The maid replied, "It seems...I am a little sleepy and get up later than before, nothing else."

Qin Xiang stuffed the silver into the little palace maid's pocket and said, "I understand. I asked you about this today for no other reason. It's just that my queen sees that your young mistress is having a hard time with her pregnancy, so she wants to show some concern for her. Do you understand?"

The little maid took the silver with a smile and said, "I understand! Don't worry, sister. I'm not the kind of person who gossips."

Qinxiang smiled with satisfaction and went back to report.

After telling Concubine Rou everything he had found out, she looked incredulous.

"She means that there's nothing wrong except the lethargy?"

Qin Xiang replied, "Yes, Madam, that's what she said. Could it be that Concubine Shen is strong and healthy, so this amount of medicine won't cause miscarriage for her?"

Concubine Rou herself couldn't figure it out. After all, this thing had been used very few times since it was brought into the palace, and everyone's physique was different.

Concubine Rou sighed and said, "Forget it, let's wait a little longer."

Jingyang Palace

Yingcan's health has gradually improved, and thanks to Doctor Chen's miraculous healing skills, she has not left any scars on her body.

Yingcan said to Doctor Chen, "I am well again now. You don't have to come visit me every day."

Doctor Chen said arrogantly, "I didn't come here to see you specially. You are not the only one in Jingyang Palace. There are also the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Princess!"

Yingcan smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I just said that I don't need you to come over to see me every day. It's troublesome for you."

Doctor Chen was packing up his medicine box. When he heard Yingcan's words, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "You mean... you don't need me...?"

Yingcan looked at Doctor Chen's slightly stunned eyes and quickly denied, "No, no, that's not what I meant."

Doctor Chen put down what he was holding and asked, "But you still said that I would be in trouble."

Yingcan explained, "I'm just worried that you'll be in trouble. You already have a lot of things to do in the Imperial Hospital, and you also have to take care of the princes in the palace. I just want you to relax a little!"

After hearing Yingcan's explanation, Doctor Chen couldn't help but walk forward and hug her.

"I knew you wouldn't think I was troublesome!"

This time, it was Yingcan who was stunned. Doctor Chen's embrace was very warm, giving Yingcan a sense of security he had never felt before. He felt his strong chest and his strong heartbeat.

After a moment of warmth, Yingcan realized that this was inappropriate and tried to push Doctor Chen away.

"Doctor Chen, you are so rude..."

After hearing this, Doctor Chen hugged Yingcan tightly and said, "Don't talk!"

Yingcan said nothing, just stood there with his hands folded, at a loss.

Doctor Chen didn't know when he started to like Yingcan. At first he always thought that she was a conceited little girl, but later her voice, appearance and smile were all in his mind.

When I see her happy, I will be happy with her. When I see her sad, I will feel even sadder than her.

If I see that she has been wronged, I will stand up and fight for her without hesitation!

She was usually strong, a sharp-tongued girl who kept people at a distance. Until I held her in my arms, looking at her thin shoulders, I just wanted to cherish her.

It was a long time before Doctor Chen let go of his hand.

With a red face, he said, "Sorry... I'm leaving now!"

As he said this, he picked up the medicine box and fled in panic.

Leaving behind was Yingcan, whose eyes were wide open and who hadn't even reacted yet.

Because there has been nothing unusual with Concubine Shen's health.

Concubine Rou wrote a letter to her family, in which she hinted that they should secretly bring those things into the palace under the pretext of sending other gifts.

Concubine Rou had disappeared for a long time and did not compete for favor. Few people cared too much about anything she got, and some people even gradually forgot about her.

After the things were successfully transported into the palace, Concubine Rou increased the dosage of medicine for Concubine Shen.

Time is running out for Concubine Rou. Concubine Shen is almost two months pregnant. If it takes another month, not to mention whether the pregnancy can be successful, Concubine Shen will move out by then, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for Concubine Shen to even see her again!

"Tell Xiao Guozi that we are doing two things at once. My patience is running out!"

Qinxiang nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

However, a month has passed since the attack began, and Concubine Shen has shown no other abnormalities except for being a little sleepy.

Qin Xiang couldn't sit still any longer. "My queen, this Concubine Shen...what kind of body is this...after using so many medicines, the dragon fetus is still fine!"

Concubine Rou was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes coldly and said, "It's all right, unless there is only one possibility."

Qin Xiang asked, "What...what is possible..."

Concubine Rou said coldly, "Maybe she is not pregnant at all!"
