Chapter 474: n.o.ble Consort Xuan was Pregnant
“Uurgh, huurgeh…” n.o.ble Consort Xuan, who had been sitting below Ning Shu, suddenly covered her mouth and started retching.
She wanted to hold it back, but she just started vomiting harder. When Ning Shu saw this, her eyes flashed and she quickly said to Qing Zhu, “Hurry and call an imperial physician over. n.o.ble Consort Xuan isn’t feeling well.”
It seemed like n.o.ble Consort Xuan was pregnant.
“Also send an imperial physician to take a look at Beautiful Lady Lin,” whispered Ning Shu. Since it was a small matter, she was willing to help.
Qing Zhu nodded and withdrew.
Everyone looked towards n.o.ble Consort Xuan with envy. Huo Qing seemed to have also sensed things and furrowed his brows tightly. He reflexively tightened his grip on the little fox.
An imperial physician hastily rushed over. Before he even had the chance to bow, Ning Shu said, “No need to be so courteous. Check n.o.ble Consort’s health first.”
“Understood.” The imperial physician hastily walked over to check n.o.ble Consort Xuan’s pulse.
Huo Qing’s facial color was dark. It was clear he was annoyed with how Ning Shu took charge earlier. He was starting to really regret things now. In a moment of impulse, he had ended up sleeping with n.o.ble Consort Xuan.
If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t control himself after Hu er did such a suggestive thing, he wouldn’t have gone to sleep with a consort.
“Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Highness n.o.ble Consort. It’s already two months along.” The imperial physician stood up with a smile.
Huo Qing’s heart tightened and he didn’t say anything. Ning Shu turned towards n.o.ble Consort Xuan with a happy smile, “How could you have missed your own pregnancy?”
“Your Imperial Highness, this subject consort’s period has always been irregular so this subject consort hadn’t paid attention. Who would’ve thought it was pregnancy?” n.o.ble Consort Xuan’s eyes were slightly teary. This was the first time that she had conceived. The pleasant surprise made her so elated that she felt about to faint.
She was probably the only consort that Huo Qing had visited recently. Who would’ve thought it’d hit the lottery in one go?
“Since you know now, you should take good care of yourself and give Chengw.a.n.g a little brother,” said Ning Shu.
“Many thanks for Your Imperial Highness’s concern.” n.o.ble Consort Xuan stroked her stomach lovingly, then said to Huo Qing, “Your Majesty, this subject consort will definitely take good care of her health to give Your Majesty another son.”
“Congratulations, Your Highness n.o.ble Consort.”
“Congratulations, Your Highness n.o.ble Consort.”
All the consorts and concubines endured their envy and congratulated her. n.o.ble Consort Xuan was so happy that she was about to cry.
A jubilant atmosphere filled the air. However, when the little fox found out that n.o.ble Consort Xuan was pregnant, she was dumbfounded. Her heart seemed to shake with anger and resentment.
When she saw that even the empress was smiling, she inwardly snarled that they were all fake! Who could possibly be so happy to find out that her husband had impregnated another woman? Any normal woman would desire to kill that other woman, but she was actually pretending to smile. She was truly a fake, hypocritical woman!
It was disgusting!
The little fox was very hurt. The empress had Huo Chengw.a.n.g, but that was before she met Huo Qing. However, now Huo Qing had a child with another woman while he doted on her. The little fox felt as if she had been betrayed.
Her heart was very small, it could only hold a single man. However, that man’s heart could only have her. Huo Qing was an emperor while she was just a pet. He was just playing with her for fun, but she had actually taken it to be real.
“Hu er.” When Huo Qing saw the little fox crying, he became fl.u.s.tered.
Humph! The little fox jumped out of his arms and looked towards n.o.ble Consort Xuan who was smiling happily. She was so hurt, but this woman was this happy? The little fox angrily pounced towards n.o.ble Consort Xuan. n.o.ble Consort Xuan was caught completely off guard and the little fox knocked into her stomach.
“Hu er.” Huo Qing furrowed his brows tightly as he looked at the little fox. The little fox looked towards him with a stubborn expression, but when she saw the shock and disapproval on his face, her heart clenched in pain and she turned to run.
They’re all liars! She shouldn’t have trusted a man, thought the little fox angrily.
Huo Qing wanted to chase after the little fox, but the current scene was a mess so he couldn’t just leave.
