Chapter 697 Pulse Condition


    When they arrived at the Xiang Zhu Pce, they saw all the attendants being cheerful as they were


    supposed to be. As their master got favored and promoted, they could also live easier in the imperial


    pce full of snobbish people. Now that their master had been pregnant. It was no wonder that


    everyone was happy.


    "Your Highness." As soon as Yun Shang entered the main hall, a maid raised the curtain to wee


    her into the inner hall.


    Ning Qian was not lying on the bed, but sitting on a chair behind the desk. She was not as happy as


    the attendants were.


    At the sight of Yun Shang, Ning Qian raised her head, smiled at her, and dismissed the maids. The


    maids backed out the room, but Ning Qian didn''t speak. Instead, she closed her eyes and pondered for


    a long time.


    Yun Shang knew that she was probing the surroundings with her internal force, so she sat down and


    waited quietly.


    After a long while, Ning Qian opened her eyes, stood up, walked to Yun Shang, and stretched out an


    arm, "Mydy, I don''t believe those imperial physicians. Help me take my pulse. I felt there must be


    something wrong. I took the pills every time after I served His Majesty. It was made ording to the


    prescription given by Your Highness..."


    Frowning at Ning Qian''s words, Yun Shang put her fingers on Ning Qian''s wrist. None of them spoke


    anything. After a long time, Yun Shang took back her hands.


    Ning Qian''s gaze was fixed on Yun Shang. Yun Shang meditated for a moment before she opened her


    mouth.


    "There is a sign of slippery pulse, but it is not obvious. Maybe it has been less than a month."


    Surprise was written all over Ning Qian''s face. She shook her head, "No way."


    After a short silence, Yun Shang said, "Give me the pills, and I''ll see if someone has tampered with the


    pills."


    Ning Qian rose to her feet at Yun Shang''s words. She took out a few pills from her pillow and handed


    them to Yun Shang. "I even didn''t tell my maids about these pills. I always took it secretly."


    Yun Shang took over the pills, put them under her nose, and sniffed. Then she unfolded the pills, and


    examined them for a long time before saying, "Nothing wrong." After a pause, she continued, "Since


    there is nothing wrong with the pills and you are sure that you have taken them every time, then it''s


    impossible that you have get pregnant. However..."


    Yun Shang frowned. "Your do have a slippery pulse, though weak. I heard from the empress that you


    were less than a month pregnant, so it''s normal that the slippery pulse is not obvious."


    After a long while, Yun Shang looked at Ning Qian and asked, "Were the imperial physicians very sure


    that you had been pregnant? With no doubts?"


    Ning Qian nodded, "His Majesty came here for lunch and I tested all the dishes for him as usual. But


    before I asked His Majesty to eat, I suddenly felt very ufortable in my stomach. Just after I


    stopped His Majesty, I couldn''t help vomiting. The Emperor summoned six imperial physicians who


    were on duty. They took turns to take my pulse and all of them told the Emperor with certainty that I


    had been pregnant."


    Hearing this, Yun Shang looked at the armrest of the chair and said coldly, "There must be a trick."


    Ning Qian looked at Yun Shang with a confused look. Yun Shang turned to her and said, "Normally


    slippery pulse will be obvious at least one month after getting pregnant. But in the earlier period, it


    is really hard to tell. Even the most experienced doctor couldn''t be sure. "


    Ning Qian didn''t show a smile. She thought for a while and said, "Those imperial physicians were very


    firm at noon." Then she looked up at Yun Shang. "You mean someone is plotting against me?"


    "I''m not able toe to a conclusion now. But you couldn''t be pregnant since you''ve been taking the


    pills. And the attitude of those imperial physicians is really doubtful. We have to wait for at least half a


    month to figure it out." Seeing that Ning Qian didn''t look well, Yun Shang added, "But you have to start


    making preparation from now on. If it''s a trick, then something must have been done to change your


    pulse. You need to carefully investigate those close to you, especially those who can do something to


    your food or drinks."


    "Food or drinks?" Ning Qian frowned and sat down, absent-mindedly.


    Yun Shang nodded slightly and continued, "Whether you are pregnant or not, the news will soon


    spread all over the pce. At that time, you will surely be the focus of attention. It has only been a year


    since you entered the Imperial Pce, but you''ve already be a consort. It''s rare in Xia Huanyu''s


    harem. It took Lady Shu almost twenty years to be a consort from a court maid. But you should


    know it''s not a good thing. It might put you in danger. "


    Ning Qian nodded, and sneered. "I can''t think of anyone else except the Empress."


    The Empress? Yun Shang thought carefully about what the Empress said in the Wei Yang Pce. She


    was silent for a long time, but said nothing.


    Ning Qian stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, seeming somewhat fidgety. After a while, she


    continued, "What about I asked His Majesty to issue an order that no one is allowed toe in the


    Xiang Zhu Pce?"


    Yun Shang smiled, "If it''s a trick, then there must have been someone nted around you. What''s the


    use of locking the Xiang Zhu Pce?"


    Ning Qian sighed and sank back into her chair, downcast.


    They kept silent for a long time. Then Yun Shang continued, "There''s no other way now. We could only


    wait and see whether your pulse is true or not. During this time, you can think about who might plot


    against you."


    Ning Qian had no choice but to nod.


    Yun Shang stood up and thought for a while. Then she said to Ning Qian in a low voice, "I will go back


    and prepare something for you. After Qin Yi send it to you, you just sprinkle it on the people you


    suspect. By then, I will know whether there is something fishy."


    Ning Qian stood up and sent Yun Shang out. Ning Qian pondered for a moment before she whispered

    to Yun Shang, "Last night, I heard some report to His Majesty that there was some clue about the


    Eldest Princess. She should be hiding near the Jin City."
