Chapter 1589 - 1582: You Are Pregnant with My Child!
Chapter 1589: Chapter 1582: You Are Pregnant with My Child!
Li Yunshu saw how dearly Qin Muyan doted on Rong Yun, her jealousy was already surging like a raging river, but she was holding it back, standing right next to Qin Ge. Qin Ge would not let Rong Yun off!
As Qin Muyan was about to ask Qin Ge to go back, Qin Ge, infuriated, abruptly stepped forward and grabbed Rong Yun’s wrist, "This princess wants to see just how precious you are, clinging to the emperor and still refusing to greet your elders properly! Come down for this princess!"
"Ah!"
With a strong pull from Qin Ge, the brocade covering Rong Yun was torn off, as she protected her belly, and instead of rolling on the ground entirely, she tumbled down.
"Jingjing!"
Qin Muyan swiftly wrapped his arms around her, and as she was falling forward, he caught her.
But as his arm hit her belly, Rong Yun immediately showed an expression of pain, "Qin Muyan, it hurts!"
"Jingjing..."
Her swollen belly was now exposed, and Qin Muyan noticed something was amiss, "You... what happened to your belly?"
She had been using the brocade to tease him and he hadn’t noticed, but now he realized how big her belly was...
Could it really be because she missed him so much that she ate herself into a big belly?
"Rong Yun, you... you’re with child?"
Qin Ge was also stunned!
She initially wanted to teach Rong Yun a lesson, but when she saw Rong Yun’s swollen belly, she suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "Your belly looks like... you are about to give birth?"
She had never been pregnant before, but after all, she was a woman and knew much more than Qin Muyan.
Upon hearing this, Qin Muyan instantly bristled, "Jingjing, you... you’re carrying my child?"
"How is that possible!" Li Yunshu covered her mouth in shock, "The emperor has been away at war, you... how could you be pregnant? You even dared to return to the imperial palace carrying a bastard child, shaming the Great Wei Dynasty like this!"
Initially clueless, Qin Ge, upon hearing Li Yunshu’s words, immediately felt a surge of anger, shaking with rage, her teeth chattering, "You... you’re so shameless! You even dared to enter the palace with a bastard child! You’ve gone mad!"
"Who says it’s a bastard! I have been with Jingjing!" Qin Muyan’s eyes gleamed with delight, as he hugged Rong Yun’s waist, his laughter booming like a bell, "Jingjing is carrying my child, from that time eight months ago... It was then she conceived! Wonderful!"
He has an heir!
The Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty has an heir!
But before he could revel in joy for a moment, Rong Yun’s complexion swiftly turned pale, "Qin Muyan, I’m in pain..."
"Jingjing!"
Qin Muyan immediately picked her up, "Sorry! It’s my negligence! Court physician! Court physician!"
He shouted urgently, and Wei Jue immediately brought the court physician into the hall in a hurry.
Qin Muyan rushed like the wind with Rong Yun into the inner chamber, where the court physician treated her, while Qin Muyan stayed inside with her.
Qin Ge and Li Yunshu stood outside the screen, both with shocked expressions on their faces.
However, the excitement in Qin Ge’s heart stemmed from Qin Muyan’s words, while Li Yunshu felt only a poisonous resentment!
She bit her lip hard, barely suppressing the urge in her heart to kill Rong Yun outright!
This despicable woman!
She has returned and even carries such a child!
How on earth did she do it?
Qin Muyan is fighting bravely on the battlefield, yet he would still seek her out?
She can actually bear a child!?
It’s so infuriating!
After treatment, the court physician gave Rong Yun an acupuncture treatment, and after resting for a while, her pain eased. She just kept saying she was hungry. Qin Muyan personally hurried the preparation of the dinner, stayed by Rong Yun’s bedside, took careful and proper care of her as she ate a lot, although he himself did not eat a bite until Rong Yun was full and showed a satisfied expression.
She leaned against the headboard and gently patted her belly, "Shunshun has eaten well, no need to feed anymore."
"Have you really eaten enough?" Qin Muyan’s concerned gaze fell on her.
Rong Yun nodded, "Really full, if I eat any more, my stomach is going to burst."
She looked down, glancing at the dining table beside her, which had more food than she and Qin Muyan used to eat together before.
Oh, this appetite of hers...
"Does Jingjing want anything else? Those... the court physician..." Qin Muyan’s hand that set down the bowl was somewhat trembling, his speech incoherent, as if no words could express his feelings at the moment.
He didn’t dare to stare at Rong Yun’s belly for too long, fearing that her stomach would hurt again!
Rong Yun took hold of his hand, "It doesn’t hurt now, no need for you to be so nervous."
"Truly no problem anymore?"
He asked Rong Yun again and again, then summoned the court physician to ask several more times. The physician kowtowed until his forehead turned red, trembling as he assured Qin Muyan, "Your Majesty and the prince are both fine, it was just a momentary unsettlement of the fetal energy, with careful protection all will be well."
"How careful must we be? You all quickly draft a plan. Examine every part of the palace thoroughly to ensure nothing can harm the empress. The entire palace must not disturb the empress’s pregnancy. Otherwise, I will certainly put someone to death!"
Qin Muyan issued orders repeatedly, causing the court physician and everyone else in the palace to shiver.
Wei Jue led the court physician out, and also had the people of Zhi Luo Palace busy up and down, checking the safety of the palace and conducting personnel searches. Except for the inner chamber which was quiet, the entire outer chamber and even the courtyard became bustling and chaotic.
After sending everyone out, Qin Muyan let out a deep sigh.
He extended his hand, slowly moving closer to Rong Yun’s belly, but stopped a few inches away.
He hesitated, "Can I touch it, Jingjing?"
Rong Yun’s voice was sweet, "Of course! Why not? Quick, feel him! He’s been missing Daddy!"
Rong Yun guided Qin Muyan’s hand to her belly; the child inside moved often throughout the day, as if practicing punches and kicks inside her, which when vigorous enough, could make her bones ache.
She had been thinking every day about sharing this feeling with Qin Muyan.
Now, at last, she could let him feel it too.
"Will he... will he move?"
Qin Muyan felt the movement under his palm, even through the layers of thin fabric, he could see a bulge forming on Rong Yun’s abdomen.
The child was telling him, through a layer of belly skin, there was a living being inside!
Rong Yun looked amused at his dumbfounded expression, "He moves, every day! My aunt says he will be born soon, so recently he’s been especially active. I can only lie down each day; sometimes my legs even cramp, and my feet are already swollen."
"Really?"
Qin Muyan lifted the covers to check, and indeed! Rong Yun’s slender and straight legs had become swollen, and her fair, delicate little feet now looked as puffy as steamed buns.
Cradling her feet, Qin Muyan sighed deeply, "I had only heard that women suffer a lot during pregnancy, but I never knew... it’s such suffering!"
This was just the physical reaction that her body showed; what about those reactions he couldn’t see?
