539 Consort Rou Isn’t Pregnant With a Child!

Gu Nuo’er’s small face was pressed against the screen in the inner hall, trying her best to look out.

She looked at her father with her big eyes and said something. Consort Rou trembled in fear.

Oh, but she could also guess that her father didn’t like Consort Rou’s baby.

Moreover, Consort Rou wasn’t pregnant with a child!

!!

Outside the hall, Noble Consort Qiao was a little surprised when she heard Gu Yihan’s arrangements.

She subconsciously looked at Gu Yihan, who also looked back at her.

The two of them exchanged a glance before looking away.

Head Physician Zhang was about to turn around to prescribe medicine when the third prince said hesitantly, “Father, this son wants to take Mother Rou’s pulse first. It won’t be too late to talk about prescribing medicine then.”

When Gu Yihan saw this, he asked, “Why? Do you have any doubts?”

“This son feels that Mother Rou doesn’t look like she is four months pregnant and is just afraid that if too much medicine is prescribed, it will cause damage to her body. Moreover, this son also wants to take this opportunity to practice.”

Gu Yihan narrowed his eyes and nodded after a moment. “Go on.”

Consort Rou cowered and retreated. She had tears in her eyes and a resentful gaze.

It was fine if His Majesty wasn’t going to protect her child, but he actually let the third prince use her as practice!

On what basis?!

Gu Yihan had been on the throne for many years and was extremely scheming.

When he saw Consort Rou’s fleeting gaze, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

“Wanyin, Wanxuan, hold down Consort Rou for me,” Gu Yihan ordered.

Wanyin and Wanxuan immediately went forward and grabbed Consort Rou’s arms from both sides, preventing her from moving. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They had wanted to do this from just now.

After all, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that Consort Rou clearly knew that His Majesty was in the Qiushui Palace, but she still specially came to see him.

Wasn’t she trying to use her pregnancy to embarrass Her Highness?!

Facing such a person, Wanyin and Wanxuan, who were protective of their master, wished they could slap Consort Rou’s face!

Consort Rou struggled, but she was no match for the two palace maids.

The third prince reached out to take Consort Rou’s pulse, but Consort Rou was moving so violently that he didn’t even have the chance to feel her pulse carefully.

In the end, Gu Yihan became impatient. “Chunshou, call the imperial guards in and knock her out.”

Consort Rou was in extreme despair. “Your Majesty, don’t—!”

When Noble Consort Qiao heard her scream miserably, she couldn’t help but say, “His Majesty, don’t scare Nuo’er!”

Only then was Gu Yihan stunned. He turned around and saw a fair and soft face pressed against the glass screen behind Noble Consort Qiao!

Her two small hands were also leaning against the screen, her small face pressed against it.

She was blinking her curious eyes and looking at them carefully.

Gu Yihan’s eyes darkened and he waved his hand to give up on this idea. “Chunshou, you don’t have to go.”

After this commotion, Gu Yihan completely lost his patience with Consort Rou.

“You don’t allow your pulse to be taken and just claim to be four months pregnant. I’m getting more and more suspicious of the authenticity of your words.” His voice was cold and his lowered gaze was filled with oppressive scrutiny.

Consort Rou trembled.

Gu Yihan instructed, “Chunshou, go and investigate who Consort Rou has met in the past few months, what medicine she has taken, and what she has done. Sort everything out for me in detail. I want to know if she’s really pregnant or if she has the intention to cause trouble.”

After saying that, Gu Yihan didn’t forget to explain, “Consort Rou just mentioned that she met her family previously, right? Get the imperial guards to surround the Cui Manor now. If anything happens, none of them will be able to escape.”

Consort Rou hurriedly begged for mercy. “Your Majesty, please listen to this consort’s explanation—!”

Gu Yihan flicked his sleeves and ignored her. “Pass down my decree to confine Consort Rou! Before the matter is investigated clearly, she is not allowed to be released!”

Consort Rou never expected that her entire family’s lives would be put on the line when she was just trying to seek a prosperous good future.
