The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 974

Chapter 974: 453 The Origins of Long Yi (Third Update)

The Crown Princess gave a slight smile, "Is that so? The Prince Consort of Ning has been pregnant three times, yet I have no wish to end up like her."

Physician Luo hastened to say, "That won’t happen, Your Highness. The child you carry is very stable." He paused, then added, "However, the first three months must be approached with caution and care."

The two palace maids sent by Empress Xiao were simultaneously stunned.

Holding no grudges, the Crown Princess smiled gently, "Have you both gone silly with joy? Why not go and inform Her Majesty that I’m pregnant? Never mind, I will personally see to it."

This time, the two maids did not stop her.

They understood that no matter the gravity of the crime the Crown Princess might have committed, the child in her womb meant she had completely turned the tables.

The royal lineage was hard to come by, and thus precious. Empress Xiao was nearly going mad with her longing for the Crown Prince to have an heir; she would surely protect the Crown Princess at all costs upon learning of the pregnancy.

The Crown Princess first went to the Crown Prince’s chamber.

The Crown Prince had taken Calming Medicine, and was deeply asleep.

The Crown Princess raised her hand, tenderly caressing the Crown Prince’s cheek, "Your Highness, Linlang is carrying your child, you are going to be a father."

After leaving the East Palace, she felt even the sky above her head looked bluer.

Even the heavens were on her side. They did not doom her—she, Wo Linlang, was destined to preside as a motherly figure over all under heaven!

The Crown Princess, accompanied by a few palace maids from the East Palace, made her way to the Kunning Palace.

Halfway, she encountered Gu Jiao, who was searching for a moment of tranquility in the Imperial Garden.

"Isn’t that Physician Gu?" _{freeωebnovēl.c૦m}

The Crown Princess leisurely walked over, glancing at Gu Jiao, "Is Physician Gu here to pick flowers in the Imperial Garden today, or perhaps to enjoy the view?"

Gu Jiao couldn’t even be bothered to give her a glance.

The Crown Princess stopped beside her, turning slightly and looking at her with a half-smile, "Are you surprised why I can still walk out of the East Palace?"

Gu Jiao was entirely unaware of Empress Xiao’s order confining the Crown Princess to the East Palace, hence she did not understand the purpose behind her question.
