The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 360 - 222: Pregnant

Yun Chunnuan originally intended to drink the Abortion Soup, as it was the most reliable contraceptive method in ancient times.

But Yelyu Lie wouldn’t allow it, and prepared a bunch of ancient condoms instead.

They looked very unreliable.

His large hand stroked her turbulent stomach as she dry heaved, Yun Chunnuan’s eyes reddened, "I told you those things weren’t reliable!"

He’s so reckless! That thing is just a thin layer, nothing compared to the sturdy natural rubber of modern times.

"We agreed to wait until twenty..."

Yun Chunnuan wasn’t against becoming a mother; she eagerly anticipated having a baby with her husband.

But this unplanned situation left her overwhelmed with mixed emotions, unsure if she was scared or happy.

Yelyu Lie kept soothing her delicate stomach, "It’s my fault, but that Abortion Soup, you can’t drink it, it’s bad for your health."

That concoction was always used by men for their bed-warming maidens, how could Yelyu Lie bear to have his cherished little wife drink it?

Even though he wasn’t sure if it was truly harmful to health, he just didn’t want her to drink it.

It made him feel like his little wife was being disrespected.

Yun Chunnuan’s eyes reddened as she took a deep breath, "Then if I’m really pregnant, what do we do?"

"You silly, of course, we’d have the baby."

"But I’m only eighteen..."

In ancient times, kids her age might have already run around.

Yet Yun Chunnuan still felt very young, and though she had considered having children, she hadn’t planned for it to happen so soon.

"Husband, let’s go home and see a doctor, confirm it first before we proceed." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Yelyu Lie glanced inside the palace, his amber pupils growing colder.

"Alright, let’s go home."

He grabbed his little wife’s hand, ready to leave without informing King of Bianliao.

Just as they were about to step away, the old eunuch from inside the palace stopped them, "General, madam, where are you planning to go?"

"Madam is feeling unwell and we’re going home, sorry to trouble you and the King..."

"Oh no! There’s a scholar from the Imperial Hospital inside the palace; how can those ordinary doctors compare to Imperial Physician Cui? If madam is unwell, letting Imperial Physician Cui take a look would be a wise choice."

Yelyu Lie and Yun Chunnuan shared a glance.

Seeing her subtle nod.

His gaze turned dark, lost in thought.

After a brief pause, he followed the old eunuch back into the palace.

As soon as their figures appeared, King of Bianliao’s eyes lit up with excitement, "Imperial Physician Cui, quickly examine Nuannuan!"

No matter how much resentment he held against his son, if the Great Xia Princess truly was pregnant, it would still be his grandchild!

The first one!!!

Yelyu Erlun has many children, nine sons, and three are married, yet none have given him a grandson.

This angered him greatly, continually bestowing women upon his sons, including Yelyu Lie.

Soon, Yun Chunnuan was escorted to the inner palace of Heyong Palace, accompanied by her husband, Imperial Physician Cui, and the old eunuch.

Imperial Physician Cui placed his fingers on the Little Princess’s slender wrist, first showing a delighted expression, then surprise, and finally fear.

Yelyu Lie kept staring at him, not missing any expression on the elderly physician’s face.

He asked suspiciously, "How is she?"

Imperial Physician Cui withdrew his trembling hand, his sharp eyes glancing at the old eunuch, then quickly lowered them.

"General, Madam is simply physically weak, suffering from dizziness, more rest is needed."

"It’s not pregnancy?!"

Before Yelyu Lie could respond, the old eunuch’s thin voice interjected.

As soon as he spoke, he sensed a sharp, piercing gaze directed at him, shivering as he hurriedly continued, "General, forgive me, this old servant is merely anxious for the King, you know how long the King has waited for a grandson."

"Get out!"

With this angry shout, the old eunuch dared not linger, quickly retreating, and left the inner palace.

With only three remaining inside, Yelyu Lie took the elderly physician’s hand and wrote four words in his palm: Is it pregnancy?

The elderly physician glanced fearfully at the palace door, then nodded slightly.

The nod was subtle and fast, barely noticeable unless one was watching closely.

It’s pregnancy!

Yelyu Lie’s eyes gleamed with delight, promptly looking at his little wife.

Seeing her furrowed brows...

He also realized something was off.

If it was pregnancy, why not just say it straightforwardly, why the reluctance?

"I will prescribe some medicine for madam, once the general reviews it, he will know how to alleviate the dizziness."

"Alright."

Yelyu Lie followed the elderly physician, observing the ’prescription’ he wrote, filled with suspicion.

"General, do you understand?"

Yelyu Lie nodded, then shook his head.

The elderly physician looked solemn, glancing at the general, then wrote four words: Visit soon.

He smiled as he stroked his goatee, placed the prescription in the general’s hand, then turned to instruct the Little Princess on the bed, "Princess is weak and requires rest within the mansion, avoid any further travel."

Yun Chunnuan had no idea what was happening, just as she was about to reach for the prescription, she saw her husband swallowing the paper...

In shock, wanting to stop him, he had already ingested it.

Pregnant.

She saw her husband writing the words in the elderly physician’s palm, and noticed the physician nodding slightly.

But why couldn’t this be said openly?

Yun Chunnuan stood, her face even paler.

Supported by Yelyu Lie, she walked out of the inner palace, seeing the King of Bianliao looking displeased, just having drunk a cup of wine, he heavily slammed the jade cup on the table.

"The princess has been married into the General Mansion for over a year now, hasn’t she?"

Usually referring to her so affectionately as "Nuannuan", now he’s so distant.

Yun Chunnuan didn’t really care what he called her, but his passive-aggressive attitude annoyed her greatly, "What does the King wish to say?"

"Heh." King of Bianliao sneered, his gaze falling on his son, "Did you send out all the beauties I bestowed upon you from the mansion?"

The King of Bianliao seemed particularly assertive today.

"Yes." Yelyu Lie didn’t intend to hide either.

"When the old goes, the new comes, I will gift all eighteen Western Regions beauties to..."

"Is the King senile?"

Before King of Bianliao could finish, Yun Chunnuan interrupted.

No matter how laid-back she was, she wouldn’t let this foolish king stuff women into the General Mansion!

"One clause of the peace alliance is that my husband can only marry this princess for life. Has the King forgotten, or does he think that with Western Regions’ allegiance, he’s no longer afraid of Great Xia?"

Yun Chunnuan had always known how much King of Bianliao feared the Great Xia Country.

Just a Regent King could scare him enough to personally show up, and he wouldn’t even dare to make a peep when confronted.

But now, he chuckled, his murky eyes filled with mockery, "Dare to bring up Great Xia? Don’t think I don’t know about the filthy things you’ve done!"
