Chapter 285 Pregnant
The little brother is too mature and steady, and Xiao Yingchun wants him to relax.

"I heard that you have traveled to many places with your master during this period? Have you saved many people?"

Sure enough, when this was mentioned, Ao Chengji's eyes lit up.

Following Xiao Yingchun's careful guidance, he gradually began to talk more, and his hands began to help gesture from time to time...

Watching the little brother talking about the people and things he encountered when he followed his master to cure illnesses and save lives, his expression gradually relaxed, with a hint of pride on his face. Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan smiled at each other.

That's how it should be.

A child should be proud when he should be proud, and be proud when he should be proud.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about medicinal herbs?"

Xiao Yingchun followed his words and gave him a full sense of value: "Then do you know what medicinal ingredients are in the recipe of Angong Niuhuang Pills?"

Ao Chengji answered without hesitation: "What's so difficult about this?"

"Bezoar, rhinoceros horn, musk, pearl, cinnabar, realgar, coptis root, scutellaria baicalensis, gardenia, curcuma, borneol..."

Xiao Yingchun nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "You actually know this... Wait, are there any rhino horns now?"

Ao Chengji nodded and looked at Xiao Yingchun strangely: "Of course there is!"

Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan in shock: Many medicinal herbs from Tianwu Kingdom would be a real punishment if they were brought into the 21st century!
For example, tiger bones, rhino horns...

In the 1993st century Angong Niuhuang Wan formula, rhino horn has been replaced by buffalo horn since , and many people think that the efficacy will be worse.

This directly led to a surge in the price of Angong Niuhuang Pills produced before 1993, to more than RMB 10,000 per pill.

"Are there any Angong Niuhuang Pills in the palace now?"

Fu Chenan turned around and asked his personal guards to call the imperial physician.

Imperial Physician: “Yes!”

Moreover, the Angong Niuhuang Pills produced in the palace only focus on efficacy, regardless of cost.

Who would dare to use inferior medicinal materials for the masters in the palace?

Xiao Yingchun immediately perked up: "Please give me thirty of them. I'll give them to my master."

The imperial physician brought the medicine over, and Xiao Yingchun examined the simple packaging: "I'll ask Master later when he'll be in the capital, and I'll go and wish him a happy new year..."

Is it a bad idea to give Angong Niuhuang Pills as gifts during Chinese New Year?
Then let's have another wild ginseng...

Thinking in his mind, Xiao Yingchun put the Angong Niuhuang Pills under his nose and smelled it.

A smell of medicine suddenly rushed into Xiao Yingchun's nostrils. He suddenly felt a little nauseous and quickly got up to find a spittoon.

A palace servant immediately came over with a spittoon, and after Xiao Yingchun retched a few times, she didn't spit out anything.

I was so tired that I couldn't hold back my tears.

Fu Chenan was very nervous: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yingchun waved her hands and rinsed her mouth with a teacup: "It's okay, maybe I just ate a piece of dessert and I'm a little nauseous."

Fu Chenan was worried: "The imperial physician is here..."

Ao Chengji, who had just said he was excited, was also eager to try: "I can also take the pulse! Sister Xiao, are you willing to let me have a try?"

Xiao Yingchun looked at Ao Chengji with amusement and followed suit: "Okay, then let Ji'er show me."

Ao Chengji took Xiao Yingchun's pulse in an orderly manner using the imperial physician's pulse pillow.

Everyone looked at Ao Chengji eagerly, with anticipation and a little teasing.

As a disciple of Doctor Meng, even though he has only been learning for a few months, he should know something, right?
I don’t know what to come up with?

Ao Chengji first took his left hand, and then asked for his right hand.

Xiao Yingchun obediently extended his right hand.

Unexpectedly, after Ao Chengji finished taking the patient's pulse, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Sister Xiao, my master is also in the palace. He has gone to the Imperial Hospital. Can he come and take my pulse?"

Fu Chenan was startled: What does that mean?
Could it be that the examination revealed some other serious problem? !

Shouldn't it?

The imperial physician took my pulse not long ago!
Fu Chenan subconsciously prepared to ask the imperial physician beside him to take his pulse.

Ao Chengji insisted on letting his master come.

"Your Highness, please let my master do it..." But he didn't say the reason.

When the imperial physician saw Ao Chengji's expression, he suspected that he had encountered some difficult and complicated disease, and immediately hid aside and kept silent. The first rule for saving life in the palace: Don't get involved in things that you can avoid.

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun both looked serious and asked someone to call for Doctor Meng.

Soon, Doctor Meng with a white beard came hurriedly.

The old doctor thought Ao Chengji had caused some trouble, so he apologized as soon as he came in: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May His Royal Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years..."

"But what did my disciple do wrong?"

Fu Chenan explained the whole story. Doctor Meng knew that Ao Chengji was a thoughtful person and would not do anything without a purpose. Hearing this, he stroked his beard and said, "Then I will give it a try?"

As soon as Doctor Meng started working, his expression became serious. After looking at Ao Chengji, he also touched his left hand and his right hand.

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were both frightened and looked serious at this moment.

What's wrong?

Serious illness?!

Doctor Meng glanced at the imperial physician beside him and asked, "Your Highness, could you please dismiss the attendants?"

Fu Chenan hurriedly asked everyone to leave.

When Doctor Meng was the only one left in the room trying to accost Fu Chen and Xiao Yingchun, Doctor Meng kowtowed respectfully.

"Your Highness, Miss Xiao is pregnant. Because it is still early in the pregnancy, her pulse is not very obvious yet..."

Fu Chenan didn't hear any other professional terms the imperial physician said later. He only heard three words: pregnant.

He looked at Xiao Yingchun with anticipation in his eyes.

Is she angry? Scared?
Is she willing to keep the child?
Is she...willing to marry me?

He looked at Xiao Yingchun nervously.

Xiao Yingchun touched her flat belly with joy: the sperm donation was successful.

If a woman is going to have a child of her own eventually, then it is very important who the father of the child is.

Compared to modern men with different goals and values, Xiao Yingchun would rather the father of her child be Fu Chenan...

"Excuse me, Doctor Meng, is the child healthy?"

"Is there anything I should pay attention to when eating and drinking?"

"You must not have sex during the first three months..."

As Doctor Meng spoke, his eyes swept across Fu Chenan's face. After making sure that his gaze met Fu Chenan's, he looked at Xiao Yingchun.

Xiao Yingchun nodded repeatedly.

Fu Chenan:!!!

After a detailed explanation, Doctor Meng led his disciple away with sweat on his back, leaving the warm room to Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun.

"Stepson, you kid, you can just ask the imperial physician to come for this kind of thing, why did you bring the master into this?"

As soon as Doctor Meng walked to a secluded place, he began to nag Ao Chengji.

Ao Chengji shrank his neck and said, "Master, Sister Xiao has not yet married. If the news of her pregnancy gets out, what will she do..."

Doctor Meng looked at Ao Chengji helplessly: "I saw your sister Xiao today. If this gets out, am I the most likely to leak the news?"

"What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls me to task?"

Ao Chengji shook his head decisively: "No. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts me very much."

"How do you know?" Doctor Meng lamented Ao Chengji's naivety.

Ao Chengji has his own way.

"I can't really explain why I know this, but I can just feel that Sister Xiao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are both genuinely good to me."

Doctor Meng thought of Ao Chengji's past life experiences and vaguely understood what he said.

The posthumous son of a fallen general, he was brought up in a large mansion with strict education, yet he was so precocious and sensitive.

He probably could easily sense which servants in the mansion were sincere and which were just pretending to obey.

It is normal to become more sensitive in this area over time...

Doctor Meng didn't know whether to be happy or angry for a moment, and couldn't help but give his apprentice a chestnut.

"You are truly a good disciple of the master..."
