Upon hearing this, Yu Jin quickly comforted her, “It’s not a problem if it’s late, maybe it will come soon.”
Jiang Si: ??
“A’Jin, do you know what it means when a woman’s monthly cycle is late?”
Yu Jin smiled and said, “When the monthly cycle is late, isn’t it just—”
His voice suddenly stopped.
He stared intently at Jiang Si, his expression quite colorful. After a good while, he finally recovered and asked nervously, “A’Si, do you mean you might… might be pregnant?”
Jiang Si nodded slightly.
“I’m not entirely sure, I haven’t seen a doctor yet…”
She wasn’t a medical professional, but due to the Gu cultivation in her body, she had a strange sense of the birth of new life.
“Then, let’s have a doctor take a look,” Yu Jin rubbed his face, his mood quite complex.
Jiang Si’s feelings were equally complicated.
In her previous life, she and Yu Qi had been married for over a year without any signs, and she was already nineteen then. Logically, women should be more likely to conceive as they get older.
Yet the child that never came in her previous life had appeared after just a few months of marriage in this life…
Because of this, Jiang Si couldn’t be certain at all.
So she nodded and reminded him, “Let’s not alarm the palace for now, to avoid embarrassment. Just have the royal physician of our mansion come over.”
The royal physician was a minor official in charge of medical affairs in the prince’s mansion, under the Chief Steward’s jurisdiction.
Yu Jin nodded, “Of course.”
Soon after, the royal physician quietly entered Yuhe Palace.
“Greetings to Your Highness and Princess Consort.”
“The Princess Consort is feeling unwell, please examine her.”
Hearing that the Princess Consort was unwell, the royal physician didn’t dare delay for a moment. He immediately stepped forward and bowed his head, saying, “Please extend your hand, Princess Consort.”
Jiang Si extended her hand.
The royal physician held Jiang Si’s wrist, and as time passed, his expression became increasingly serious.
Seeing the royal physician’s demeanor, Yu Jin suddenly became nervous.
“How is it? How is the Princess Consort’s health?”
The royal physician was completely focused on taking Jiang Si’s pulse and didn’t hear Yu Jin’s question at all.
Yu Jin clenched his fist.
How dare the royal physician ignore him? Could it be that A’Si had some other condition?
“Royal Physician, I asked you a question. Why aren’t you answering?”
The royal physician finally came to his senses and looked at Yu Jin with a bewildered expression: “What did Your Highness ask?”
Yu Jin took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to get angry, and repeated his question: “I asked how the Princess Consort’s health is.”
Upon hearing this, the royal physician immediately frowned.
Seeing this, Yu Jin panicked and slapped the table: “How is it exactly? Don’t you dare conceal anything!”
The royal physician trembled in fright and cautiously said, “Please, Princess Consort, extend your other hand. I need to examine it again.”
The royal physician’s attitude made Jiang Si somewhat certain, and she calmly extended her other hand.
Seeing the royal physician place his fingers on Jiang Si’s other wrist, Yu Jin’s expression darkened further.
To think he needed to check the pulse twice, this incompetent doctor!
Under the prince’s murderous gaze, the royal physician felt immense pressure, and beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead.
Jiang Si couldn’t help but glance at Yu Jin, and only then did he rein in his imposing aura.
The royal physician felt instantly relieved and focused entirely on checking the pulse.
Yu Jin watched coldly and noticed that the royal physician’s expression had become animated again.
He once more had the urge to kick the royal physician out.
Why couldn’t this old fellow just get to the point? What was he trying to accomplish by constantly changing his expression?
Amidst Yu Jin’s silent cursing, the royal physician finally withdrew his hand.
“How is it?” Yu Jin asked impatiently.
The royal physician cupped his hands: “Congratulations, Your Highness! The Princess Consort is with child!”
“Does the Princess Consort have any other discomfort?” Yu Jin pressed.
The royal physician was stunned.
He had originally been from the Imperial Hospital and was assigned to manage medical affairs in the Prince of Yan’s mansion after the prince was enfeoffed. In his previous role as an imperial physician, he had diagnosed pregnancy for many ladies, but he had never seen a man react like this upon learning he was to become a father.
“Does the Princess Consort have any other discomfort at all?”
