The pregnant woman pressed down on the wife, and the cousin collapsed into the prince's arms.

Before Pei Jingnian could speak, Doctor Zhang's expression suddenly became much more serious: "May I ask, besides your three meals a day, does the Consort usually consume many tonics? What kind of tonics?"

Seeing the strange look on Doctor Zhang's face, Shen Yunshuang and Pei Jingnian were both taken aback: "It's just some ginseng, bird's nest, and the like."

"May I take a look?"

Seeing Doctor Zhang's probing questions, Pei Jingnian became uneasy. He had seen the things Su Wanrou had given him and knew they were all good items. Could there be something wrong with them?

When the maid brought the items over, Doctor Zhang examined them one by one and was then greatly alarmed.

Pei Jingnian's face darkened: "But what's so strange about these things?"

Doctor Zhang shook his head: "These are all excellent ingredients, but they are really not suitable for the concubine to eat!"

"How so?"

"These things are all nourishing, and indeed good for the fetus. The more you eat, the faster the fetus will grow. Your Highness's constitution is weak. If you continue to take these supplements, I'm afraid that when you give birth, the fetus will be too large and you will have a difficult delivery. It might even result in the death of both mother and child!"

"Insolence!" Pei Jingnian shouted sternly. Shen Yunshuang was terrified, her face drained of color. She clutched Pei Jingnian's sleeve tightly, her eyes brimming with tears. "Master...I'm so scared..."

Pei Jingnian's Adam's apple bobbed as he looked intently at Doctor Zhang: "Do you know what you're saying? Framing the Crown Princess is a grave crime!"

"What I said is absolutely true. Even if another doctor examined the concubine's pulse, they would not reach any other conclusion."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingnian's eyes flashed with malice. Shen Yunshuang leaned against him, her face filled with fear and tears streaming down her face, yet she still spoke softly, "Perhaps Doctor Zhang has overstated things. My sister sent the tonics with good intentions. My sister is the master's legal wife, the most virtuous of all. How could she possibly think of harming me and the child in my womb?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingnian became even more silent. He recalled the incident where Su Wanrou had added musk to the contraceptive soup for her two concubines.

He never doubted Su Wanrou's feelings for him, and because of these feelings, he was willing to give her dignity.

But all these events have proven how ruthless she is, and how disregard she is for his offspring. Could it be that Su Wanrou wants him to die without an heir?

Shuang'er is pregnant, what a joyous occasion! How dare she! How dare she reach out to Ningxiang Pavilion!

Is this what she calls affection? Perhaps, she has never had anyone in her heart; all she has is her own place in it.

Pei Jingnian said with a cold face, "Go to the city and invite two more expert gynecologists to examine the concubine's pulse together."

Mo Yu and Zhu Sheng left as instructed, and the doctor arrived quickly. After examining Shen Yunshuang's pulse, they said, "If these heavy tonics are taken until delivery, they can easily cause prolonged labor, severe bleeding, and even worse, both mother and child will be in danger! The concubine is weak and has a slender frame; if she continues to take these tonics, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Shen Yunshuang listened silently, concealing the cold glint that flashed in her eyes, still maintaining a gentle and frail appearance.

She ate everything, so naturally, her pulse was accurate. Su Wanrou, Su Wanrou, in my past life you bribed the doctor who examined my pulse to deceive everyone and cause my death.

In this life, it was I who bribed the doctor; what are you going to do about it?

Pei Jingnian was furious when he heard the diagnosis, which was exactly the same as that of Doctor Zhang.

He suppressed his agitated and violent emotions and asked, "How is the concubine's health? Is there any danger to the fetus in her womb?"

Dr. Zhang stepped forward and said, "Fortunately, it was discovered in time. There are still a few months until your due date. As long as you stop using those ginseng, bird's nest, and other tonics and eat a light diet, there will be no major problems."

Pei Jingnian nodded and gently comforted Shen Yunshuang, "Did you hear what the doctor said? You'll be alright."

Shen Yunshuang nodded obediently and said, "Your Highness, since nothing serious has happened, please don't blame the Princess Consort. I think she meant well..."

The more magnanimous and forgiving she was, the more furious Pei Jingnian became!

How kind! Su Wanrou clearly wanted her and her unborn child to die! Using top-quality treasures while pretending to be virtuous and magnanimous, what determination and what methods!

After settling Shen Yunshuang in, Pei Jingnian went to Jinlan Courtyard almost immediately!

Since Shen Yunshuang was diagnosed with pregnancy, he has never been to Jinlan Hospital again.

Su Wanrou was initially delighted to see him approaching, but as she went to greet him, she noticed that Pei Jingnian's expression was colder than ever before. She stopped, nervously rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, and asked, "Young Master? What's wrong?"

Pei Jingnian snorted coldly: "Su Wanrou! You've been sending batch after batch of prenatal supplements to Ningxiang Pavilion. What are your true intentions?"

Su Wanrou's heart skipped a beat. Why did the young master suddenly ask about this? Could it be that her plan had been discovered?

No! Impossible. No one could find fault with the things she gave.

She calmed herself down and said softly, "What ulterior motives? Those are all top-quality treasures. My sister is frail, and I naturally wanted to help her recover so that the baby in her womb wouldn't suffer. Didn't the young master agree to send them beforehand?"

"Still lying!" Pei Jingnian suddenly raised his hand and knocked the teacup to the ground. The crisp sound startled Su Wanrou, who let out a soft cry, her heart sinking even further.

Pei Jingnian's face darkened as he said, word by word, "Shuang'er has a slender frame. Excessive nourishment will only cause the fetus to grow too fast, leading to a difficult delivery, or even worse, both mother and child will perish! Su Wanrou, you are truly heartless!"

Su Wanrou was shocked and her face turned deathly pale. How could the young master know... how could he know so quickly!

She didn't have time to think it through before she knew she absolutely couldn't admit it!

"Your Highness, I'm innocent!" Su Wanrou suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "I only thought that the more expensive the things, the better they are for the body, so I only sent the finest treasures. I meant well, and I don't know anything about medicine, how could I know that if the fetus grew too large, it would be difficult to give birth? Your Highness's words are truly heartless!"

At this moment, Madam Zhou knelt down as well, speaking earnestly, "Your Highness, please don't listen to others' instigation. The Princess Consort truly has her whole heart set on you! To be frank, the things given to the concubine were all prepared by the Vice Minister's wife for the Princess Consort, to nourish her during her pregnancy. How could there be any problem with those things? And how could the Vice Minister's wife harm her own flesh and blood!"
