The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 307 Doubt

Doctor Xu's mind suddenly flashed back to the medicine that Xiao Jin had specifically asked him to prepare. He guessed that the medicine was most likely prepared for the girl in front of him.

He was an experienced person, and at just one glance, he could see the love that could not be concealed in Xiao Jin's passionate eyes as he looked at the girl.

Doctor Xu subconsciously wanted to bow and congratulate the two of them, but when the words came to his lips, he remembered that they had not yet gotten married, and swallowed them back.

Doctor Xu raised his eyes slightly and his gaze fell on Xie Lan, and was about to give her some detailed instructions on matters that needed to be paid attention to during pregnancy. However, the moment his eyes touched Xie Lan, his brows suddenly frowned.

I didn't pay attention in my hurry just now, why do I feel that the girl in front of me seems familiar now?
Seems like I've seen this somewhere before?
But Doctor Xu was very sure that he had never had any contact with this girl before.

Seeing that Xie Lan was a little absent-minded, Xiao Jin pursed his lips. Just as he was about to instruct Yang Feng to take Doctor Xu downstairs to write a prescription, he turned around and found that Doctor Xu was staring at Xie Lan intently.

Xiao Jin's heart tightened, "Doctor Xu, is there anything wrong with Miss Xie's health?"

Doctor Xu subconsciously waved his hand and said, "Miss Xie is fine. It's just normal morning sickness. It's not a big deal."

Xiao Jin saw that although he said there was no problem, his eyes were still firmly fixed on Xie Lan. He couldn't help but frown, with doubts in his heart.

Xie Lan also noticed something was wrong with Doctor Xu. Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, she couldn't help but feel curious. "Doctor Xu, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."

Doctor Xu came back to his senses, his eyes moving back and forth between Xie Lan and Xiao Jin. He looked extremely conflicted, and it was clear that he had something to say, but didn't know how to start.

Xiao Jin's brows furrowed more and more, his face became darker, and there were signs of him getting angry.

Doctor Xu was worried that he might misunderstand, so he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Excuse me, young lady, do you know the King of Nanping?"

Xiao Jin was stunned. He originally thought that there was something wrong with the fetus in Xie Lan's belly, and Doctor Xu was hesitant because of some concerns.

Xie Lan was also surprised. "King of Nanping? If I remember correctly, I have never heard of him."

"Then...what about Princess Han Wanqi of Nanping? Do you recognize her?"

Xie Lan shook his head, "I haven't heard of it either."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lan suddenly had an idea, "Doctor Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Xie Lan was pregnant, and Xiao Jin had a lot to say to her at the moment. It was obvious that Doctor Xu had been beating around the bush, and his expression was impatient. "Doctor Xu, Miss Xie grew up in Sanqing Mountain since she was a child. The King of Nanping has been fighting against the invasion of Japanese pirates in the south. If I remember correctly, the King of Nanping went to the south 20 years ago and never returned to Kyoto. How could he and Miss Xie know each other? If you have something to say, just say it directly. If you have nothing else, please follow Guard Yang to prescribe a prescription."

Doctor Xu naturally saw Xiao Jin's dissatisfaction, and an apologetic look immediately appeared on his face. He hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but... this matter is a bit presumptuous, I really don't know where to start."

Xie Lan recalled that Doctor Xu was staring at her just now, as if he was recalling someone through her.

"Doctor Xu, when you look at me, do you think that I look somewhat similar to someone you once knew?"

Doctor Xu's face flashed with an undisguised surprise, and he blurted out almost subconsciously, "How did you know?"

"The girl does look like someone, but it's not my old friend, but my benefactor, the King of Nanping."

Xie Lan raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "I look like the King of Nanping?"

"Yes." Doctor Xu nodded first, then shook his head, unsure, "She seems more like the Princess of Nanping."

After hesitating for a while, Doctor Xu said, "Excuse me, Miss Xie, are your parents... still alive?" Xie Lan glanced at Doctor Xu and saw that he seemed nervous. "My mother died after I was born, but my father is still alive."

"Your parents...are they your biological children?"

Xie Lan did not answer but asked, "Why does Doctor Xu ask that?"

"To be honest, fifteen years ago, Princess Nanping disappeared and her life or death is unknown. Before she disappeared, she was found to be pregnant."

Thinking of Su's life experience, Xie Lan's heart moved.

"Doctor Xu, do you suspect that I am the child of Princess Nanping?"

Doctor Xu nodded and said a little embarrassedly, "I do have this suspicion."

Xiao Jin frowned, "Didn't Princess Nanping die of illness? Why is she missing?"

When Prince Nanping had an accident on the battlefield, Xiao Jin was still a child and knew nothing about what happened to him.

Doctor Xu was Xiao Jin's man, so he didn't hide anything from him.

"The death of Princess Nanping is just a statement to the public. I don't know the details, I only know that Princess Nanping disappeared not long after the accident on the battlefield.

After Prince Nanping woke up from his coma, he sent people to secretly search for the Princess of Nanping, but there has been no clue for so many years. The reason why I know this is because when I was young, I traveled south and was beaten by bandits. Fortunately, I met Prince Nanping, who saved my life.

Knowing that something happened to Princess Nanping, I have been secretly helping to search for her. But to be honest, after so many years, Princess Nanping has not been found. I have gradually forgotten about this matter.

If I hadn't seen Miss Xie today, I wouldn't have even thought of this."

Although Xie Lan suspected Su's background, he had no solid evidence. After thinking for a while, he said to Doctor Xu, "Do you have a portrait of the Princess of Nanping, or her birth date? Since the King of Nanping is Doctor Xu's benefactor, I might be able to use mystical techniques to help you calculate it."

Doctor Xu shook his head. "Although the Prince of Nanping is my benefactor, the Princess of Nanping is a female relative after all. I don't know her date of birth, and I only met her a few times back then. As for her portrait, I can try to draw one, but it's been a long time, and some of my memories are fuzzy, so I can't guarantee that the drawing will be accurate."

"Then do your best." Although Xie Lan wanted to help Doctor Xu, she actually wanted to show the portrait to Peng to see if the Princess of Nanping was Su.

Originally he was thinking of slowly winning over Xie Lan's heart, but when he learned that she was pregnant, Xiao Jin couldn't wait any longer.

If he had not noticed that she was unusually interested in the affairs of Princess Nanping, he would have been unable to hold back.

Seeing Doctor Xu leave, he couldn't wait to let everyone else leave, and then quickly walked to the northwest wall. He pressed the left three and right two buttons a few times, and saw that the east wall suddenly opened inward.

Xie Lan looked surprised. Xiao Jin stepped forward, bent down, picked her up, and explained softly, "Zuixianlou is my property. This secret room is connected to the study in the backyard. We need to clean this place. Let's talk somewhere else."

Zuixianlou was crowded with people coming and going, so it was not suitable for conversation. Xie Lan said silently, "Put me down, I will walk by myself."

Xiao Jin didn't stop and tightened his arms, "You are weak now, you need to rest more."

Xie Lan felt a little confused when she thought of the fetus in her belly, but seeing that he insisted, she didn't say anything else.

After entering the study, Xiao Jin placed her on the couch.

Xie Lan thought of the vomiting incident before, raised his head and looked around, pointed to the farthest corner and said, "Stand over there."
