Chapter 334: You Are Not Fit for Pregnancy

Wan Tang pursed her lips, said nothing further.

When the ceremony ended, Bai Li's lips turned purple, and she could only stand steady with palace staff's support.

One cold, one hot, made Bai Li feel unwell all over.

Clearly her body was hot, yet her feet emitted a continual chill.

Fortunately the ceremony finally ended.

"Nanzhu, quickly, take me back to the palace to change clothes," Bai Li's voice trembled.

Ning Daying's wound on the face remained.

That slap struck Ning Daying's heart.

Seeing what Bai Li was about to do, how could she let it pass easily? He sneered, stepped forward: "Pear Princess, are you leaving already?"

Ning Daying's voice was cool: "Usually when others confer titles, merely reading the Emperor's decree suffices."

"But you are different."

"You are the Emperor's cherished one; everything must be especially grand."

"To reflect the Emperor's regard for you, the Empress specially arranged a banquet for you."

Ning Daying, one hand on his waist, thought it satisfying to torment Bai Li: "Then Pear Princess, please preside over the banquet yourself."

"After all, none of us wish to steal your limelight."

As the words fell, Ning Daying's brows knit tightly.

Already both cold and hot, his whole body broke out in cold sweat.

If this continues, how can his body endure?

While conflicted, Nanzhu whispered beside him: "Princess, if we leave now, we will inevitably be blamed again."

"You finally have a chance to wield prestige among the harem sisters."

"Moreover, if today you personally oversee the whole affair, the Emperor can truly see who truly embodies the dignity of a mother of the nation."

The plump Bai Li didn't mind.

Only the latter sentence struck Bai Li's heart.

Indeed!

She would certainly do better than that woman Wan Tang.

Bai Li's mouth curled up, looking down at Ning Daying: "Then you get out of the way, stop being an eyesore."

Under the scorching sun.

Bai Li gazed at the distant Water Pavilion, where the Imperial Concubines enjoying cool drinks and feasts laughed and chatted, occasionally glancing toward her.

Usually these women, relying on their families' power, would comment on her.

Today, she would make everyone know who truly is the Emperor's cherished one.

Nanzhu supported Bai Li, step by step forward.

Her previously frail body, under the scorching sun, could no longer bear it, and finally her vision went black.

"Li Er?!"

Chu Yunzheng shouted, not caring about much, rushed forward, grabbed Bai Li and hurriedly left.

As soon as the Emperor left.

The sisters in the palace no longer needed to be cautious.

One by one they covered their mouths and laughed wildly: "That Pear Princess is simply ridiculous."

"Who does she think she is? Stomping on Ice Blocks to prove her purity."

"A widow, already in the Nunnery, starts scheming with the Emperor, how can she claim any purity?"

"It's a joke; only the Empress is kind enough to tolerate her."

"But she does have self-awareness, knows she's not pure, which is why she endures that Cold Ice Suffering."

"Today's Princess Sealing Ceremony came at the right time; otherwise where would we see such a spectacular joke."

Hearing these words, Ning Daying felt even more satisfied.

He hurried to Wan Tang and Hui Guifei: "Sisters, did you hear that?"

"Turns out everyone isn't blind."

"She wants glory in front of people, yet doesn't look at herself, all the disgusting things she's done."

"You!" Hui Guifei said with indulgent eyes, adding lightly: "If the Empress hadn't forced an explanation for you, you'd have caused trouble."

"What are you afraid of!"

Ning Daying placed his hands on his hips, righteous: "I am eliminating a menace for the people."

Hui Guifei shook her head helplessly.

【Although seeing the White Fairy being dealt with like this was quite satisfying. The key is, the White Fairy is very favored; she hasn't come to Kuishui for over a month.】

【Would it be this over‑the‑top! Could it be that the White Fairy has a child?】

【Ninety‑plus percent it's over; if the White Fairy has a child, and it's a boy, the Dog Emperor will surely make that child the Crown Prince. After all Wan Tang is truly hard to control.】

Wan Tang's smile suddenly froze on her face.

Bai Li pregnant?

"Xiao Shunzi, go to the Imperial Medical Institute."

Wan Tang whispered: "Pear Princess fainted; have the Imperial Medical Institute examine her carefully."

"She is the Emperor's cherished one; do not recklessly prescribe medicine. It must be studied thoroughly, discussed by the whole institute, before prescribing the right remedy."

Xiao Shunzi's eyes showed surprise.

This is just adding unnecessary steps; if the situation is urgent, such a delay would only stall things.

Wan Tang's instruction required no further questions; just do as told.

Changchun Palace.

The fragrance lingered.

The scent was similar to that of the Tranquil Heart Hermitage, yet there were subtle differences.

Pear Princess lay on the bed.

Chu Yunzheng guarded her carefully, his eyes full of worry.

The Imperial Doctor carefully took the pulse, trembling as he knelt and reported, "Pear Princess is actually not seriously ill."

"Only the pulse is a bit restless; we need to observe for several more hours before a definitive diagnosis can be made."

"Observe?" Chu Yunzheng's voice deepened. "Your people at the Imperial Medical Institute are becoming more useless; you can't even see this?"

When the Imperial Doctor heard the Emperor's authoritative voice, he was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

His face full of panic: "Emperor, forgive me."

"I, the humble subject, dare not be careless; to avoid disappointing the Emperor, I resorted to observation."

"Please, Emperor, forgive me."

"Enough!" Chu Yunzheng waved his hand, a hint of impatience on his face.

Meanwhile, Xiao Dongzi also stood at the doorway, his face full of anxiety.

He stepped up to Chu Yunzheng and whispered, "Emperor, several Governors rushed to the Capital overnight; they are now waiting in Yangxin Hall, saying there are urgent matters to discuss."

Chu Yunzheng frowned, rose, and prepared to leave.

Pear Princess reached out, pulling Chu Yunzheng's sleeve, her face radiating a captivating charm.

Seeing this, Chu Yunzheng softened his tone: "Good girl, the Governors have come; it must be an urgent matter."

"Today is indeed my most auspicious day…"

"I will attend this evening."

Chu Yunzheng, seeing her seductive posture, felt moved.

Pear Princess always made his heart race precisely, stirring in him a fierce desire to possess her.

After the Emperor left.

Pear Princess sat up from the bed.

Her face cold, her voice deep: "My body, how is it truly?"

"Pear Princess, you are pregnant!"

"Only the fetal signs are unstable; you need tranquil cultivation to recover…"

Pear Princess's eyes flashed instantly, and she kicked the Imperial Doctor in anger: "You're utterly foolish; how could you not tell the Emperor such good news in his presence?"

"What else needs observation?"

The Emperor's heirs are few; whoever can bear a Prince now is the top priority.

The Imperial Doctor lowered his head, easily masking the disgust in his eyes.

He said slowly: "I, the humble subject, think it best not to make this matter public."

"After all, Your Highness, your body is fundamentally unsuitable for bearing children."

Pear Princess's gaze turned icy instantly: "What do you mean?"

The Imperial Doctor's tone was stern: "Pear Princess, may I ask what Incense you are burning in the palace?"

"Do you also know the purpose of such Incense?"

Mentioning Incense, Pear Princess's small face turned pale in an instant.

Her voice trembled slightly: "Now, tell me in detail."
