After another half a month, He Changqi's Tongfang Miaozhen was finally born.

After waiting for a day and a night, the child was finally born, but it was still a girl.

This greatly disappointed the Matriarch. After this concubine's daughter was born, the Matriarch didn't even ask about it.

Because Miaozhen's pregnancy was affected, the child was saved with great difficulty, but she died of postpartum hemorrhage.

The little girl was born with a weak body and lost her mother early. He Changqi was a man, so the child could only be taken care of by Countess Jing 'an.

When Chu Lian heard the news, she sighed and subconsciously rubbed her belly.

A motherless child was the most pitiful, and that child was only a lowly concubine's daughter. It would be fine if Countess Jing 'an protected her, but if her mother-in-law didn't have the energy to take care of the child, then the child's future wouldn't be easy.

She called for Senior Servant Gui and asked her to choose some gifts to send to Countess Jing 'an, treating it as a celebration for the newborn.

Mu Xiang was serving at the side. She was very disdainful when she saw Chu Lian's expression.

She went crazy with jealousy and cursed the "monster" who had taken over her body to die soon.

However, she hid it very well. Even Chu Lian couldn't see anything wrong with Mu Xiang after half a month.

Wenlan came in with a bowl of soup. She placed the plate on the table and filled it in front of Chu Lian. "Madam, are you still going to the Wei manor in the afternoon?"

Chu Lian nodded as she drank the soup. "Yes, have the housekeeper arrange a carriage and guards. I'll be there after lunch."

Two days ago, Princess Duanjia came to visit Chu Lian. She said that Princess Wei had been feeling dizzy and chest tightness for the past two days. Even the imperial physicians couldn't tell what was wrong with her.

Chu Lian was startled. She told Princess Duanjia that she would invite Godly Doctor Miao to Princess Wei's house today.

After lunch, Chu Lian and Miracle Doctor Miao each took a carriage to the Wei manor with a group of guards.

The Wei manor wasn't far from Marquis Anyuan's manor. It would only take fifteen minutes to get there by carriage.

Because they had an appointment with Princess Duanjia, the head housekeeper welcomed them when they arrived at the entrance of the manor. The carriage entered the manor through the side door.

Senior Servant Lan personally brought Chu Lian and Miracle Doctor Miao to the main courtyard in the backyard. Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia were already waiting.

As soon as Chu Lian entered, she saw Lady Wei sitting at the head of the table with a pale face.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed. Princess Duanjia took two steps forward to support her. She then rolled her eyes at Chu Lian, "Chu Lian, why are you still treating me and mufei like an outsider? Come and sit."

Princess Wei smiled when she saw Chu Lian. She held Chu Lian's soft hand and pulled her to sit beside her.

Sizing him up from head to toe, he frowned slightly and said, "How come you don't look fat at all after having a body?"

Chu Lian hurriedly shook her head. "No!" She moved closer to Princess Wei and frowned in distress, "Your legs and arms have become much thicker.

I'm just annoyed that I'm getting fat so fast. If my belly gets bigger, I'll turn into a ball. "

Princess Wei poked her forehead and glared at her, "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?

I have a few dietary prescriptions for pregnancy care. I'll have Grandma Lan write them for you later. "

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Princess Wei couldn't help pinching her rosy cheeks again.

Chu Lian then helped Princess Wei to the side room to have Doctor Miao take her pulse.

Behind the screen that Chu Lian couldn't see, Emperor Chengping was looking at Chu Lian lovingly. Ye Xun's impression in his mind was of Chu Lian's current age.

However, Ye Xun was slightly taller than Chu Lian, and her figure was more well-rounded.

Originally, Chu Lian looked fifty to sixty percent like Ye Xun. She used to be thin, but now that she was pregnant, her face was chubby, and she looked even more like Ye Xun.

For a moment, Emperor Chengping was stunned. He almost thought that Ye Xun had come back to life.

Unknowingly, Emperor Chengping's eyes became slightly wet. The memories that were deeply imprinted in his mind were awakened.

He thought of the good times he had with Ye Xun. Later, they were forced to separate, and his child in Ye Xun's arms was married to someone else. His heart was on fire. His face turned purple and he suddenly fainted.

Lord Wei, who had been by his brother's side, was shocked. He quickly held Emperor Chengping. Otherwise, if he fell straight to the floor, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lord Wei's expression changed. He whispered in Emperor Chengping's ear, "Imperial brother, imperial brother, wake up!"

Unfortunately, the unconscious Emperor Chengping did not respond.

Lord Wei's expression darkened. He hurriedly ordered the secret guards to carry Emperor Chengping to the side room. Then, he used his private order to have the secret guards privately invite the imperial physician.

Miracle Doctor Miao had just finished taking the pulse and explained to Princess Wei.

"Princess, don't worry. This is just a weak illness. I will prescribe a medicine to nourish the body. You will recover after taking it regularly for a few months."

Chu Lian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Miracle Doctor Miao's words.

Princess Wei and Princess Duanjia, who were at the side, looked a little awkward.

In fact, they already knew that Princess Wei's illness was not really an illness. The reason why they exaggerated it to Chu Lian was because they wanted to invite her to the Wei Residence.

He Changdi had been very strict recently. If Chu Lian had not stabilized her pregnancy after three months, she might not even be able to leave the residence!

He used this excuse to invite Chu Lian, a pregnant woman, to satisfy Emperor Chengping's request.

Princess Wei already knew the whole story from Lord Wei. This way, she felt even more intimate and fond of Chu Lian. Now, she really treated Chu Lian like her own daughter.

"Princess, you must take your medicine properly in the future. I will specially instruct Nurse Lan." Chu Lian did not know the whole story. She was sincerely worried about Princess Wei's health.

Miracle Doctor Miao stroked his white beard, his eyes full of understanding.

With his age, he was able to see through some things at a glance. Even though he knew what was going on the moment he felt Princess Wei's pulse, the astute Miracle Doctor Miao did not say it out loud. Instead, he followed the path that Princess Wei had given him.

"Lian 'er, don't worry. You still have one in your tummy. You should take care of your own body first. Is your reaction better this month?"

Chu Lian smiled and nodded. "I can eat anything now. I won't vomit at all."

Princess Wei smiled and patted her head.

The atmosphere in the side room was just right. Nurse Lan suddenly ran in with an ugly expression.

Princess Wei's brows furrowed. "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Nanny Lan glanced at Chu Lian and then at Commandery Princess Duanjia on the side. She had no choice but to stick close to Princess Wei and whisper a few words.

"What?" Princess Wei's originally gentle and dignified face instantly changed.

It was like she had been struck by lightning. She did not even have time to hide her expression.

Princess Wei rarely acted like this. Even her own daughter, Princess Duanjia, had never seen her mother lose her composure like this.

Princess Duanjia anxiously asked, "Royal mother, what happened?"

Chu Lian stood up with Princess Duanjia. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. Instead, she looked seriously at Princess Wei's expression.

Princess Wei only recovered from the sudden shock after being reminded by Nanny Lan.

She suddenly looked at Miracle Doctor Miao sitting next to her.

"Old sir, I have a request. I hope that old sir will agree."

Princess Wei lowered her posture and did not even address herself to Miracle Doctor Miao.

Miracle Doctor Miao was startled. He said, "Princess Consort, please speak your request. If this old man can do anything, I will not just stand by and watch."

Miracle Doctor Miao was old. Although he sometimes thought highly of himself, he was not stupid.

Princess Wei's status was such that the person she was worried about had to be rich or noble. Although he did not care about fame, he knew who he could offend and who he could not.

If he wanted to live peacefully, Princess Wei was one of the people he could not offend.

Moreover, he was just doing what he was good at. There was nothing difficult about it.

Princess Wei's character was not bad. She was not an unreasonable person.

Soon, Princess Wei personally led Miracle Doctor Miao to a tightly guarded side room.

Chu Lian was given to Princess Duanjia to take care of. Even Nurse Lan stayed behind.

In the side room, Prince Wei and his wife were guarding the bed. Not far from them stood two men.

One was pale and beardless, around fifty or sixty years old. The other was in the prime of his life.

Miracle Doctor Miao only took a glance before his heart skipped a beat. Following which, the corner of his eyes landed on the middle-aged man dressed in a grey robe lying on the bed.

Miracle Doctor Miao suppressed the turbulence in his heart and closed his eyes to calm himself down.

He was invited to sit by the bed by Prince Wei.

He did not ask anything and started to take the pulse of the middle-aged man according to Prince Wei's instructions.

About fifteen minutes later, Miracle Doctor Miao finished his diagnosis.

Miracle Doctor Miao took one last look at the middle-aged man on the bed before looking at Wei Wang. Even though time had left an indelible mark on the middle-aged man's face, it was still obvious that Wei Wang had a bloodline connection with this man.

The two of them looked somewhat similar.

Miracle Doctor Miao spoke after some deliberation. His brows were already tightly knitted.

After thinking for a moment, Miracle Doctor Miao decided to tell the truth.

"Your Highness, can I have a word with you?"

Prince Wei was slightly shocked. Clearly, he did not expect this old physician to say such a thing.

He looked warily at the people in the side room and agreed to Miracle Doctor Miao's request after some consideration.

"Old physician, please follow this Prince."

The two of them arrived at a quiet room. The door was guarded by Prince Wei's personal guards, so no one dared to go near.

The moment they entered the room and sat down, Prince Wei asked impatiently, "Physician, is there something difficult to say?"

Miracle Doctor Miao took a deep breath and said firmly, "The patient is poisoned."

Even Prince Wei could not maintain his composure at this moment. He widened his eyes in disbelief.

"What did you say? He's poisoned!

How is that possible?! "

His brother was the ruler of the world and had countless capable people around him. How could he be poisoned!

Since Miracle Doctor Miao had decided to tell the truth, he had considered Prince Wei's emotions.

He waited for Prince Wei's emotions to calm down before saying what he wanted to say.

"A slow-acting poison. As for what kind of poison it is, I will have to verify it again. However, I can confirm that it is not a commonly used poison. The poison is not deep now and can still be saved. However, as time passes, it will be impossible to save the situation."

Prince Wei was not someone who had never experienced major events. Back then, when the nine dragons fought for the throne, it was a life and death struggle. He and his brother had painstakingly carved out a path of blood. Now, no matter how shocking and shocking the situation was, would it be as dangerous as back then?

Hence, he quickly calmed down.

"Based on what does Old Physician think, how confident are you?"

Miracle Doctor Miao thought for a moment and gestured seven. "Seventy percent. If the ingredients are complete, I can increase it by ten percent."
