Chapter 569 - 168: Good News_2
Li Xian and Li Zhongnan were both startled, and Princess Yongning frowned, "What is there to be happy about?"
The imperial physician smiled, "Your Highness, you are with child!"
"With child?" Li Xian’s expression was strange, and Li Zhongnan was also stunned.
"Yes, according to Your Highness’s pulse, you should be about one month pregnant." The imperial physician turned to Li Zhongnan with a smile, "Congratulations to Lord Li, on the joy of a golden grandchild!"
Princess Yongning was both shocked and delighted, exclaiming, "I am pregnant?"
The imperial physician confirmed, "Indeed!"
All the maidservants in the room knelt, congratulating her; just by their reaction, it seemed indeed like a momentous occasion. Princess Yongning looked at Li Xian, but saw an odd look on his face, devoid of any joy. Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Li Xian doubted the child was his. But upon reflection, to make Li Xian believe that the child was truly of Li Family’s blood, since she had married into the family over a month ago, she had not once stepped out, naturally there could be no affair with another man. And the imperial physician she had bribed earlier had said one month, meaning the child was conceived on the wedding night; there shouldn’t be any mistake, right?
Li Xian couldn’t tell, could he?
"Husband?" Princess Yongning called him, her heart filled with uneasy probing.
As if snapped back to reality by her call, Li Xian replied "Good," and quickly came to Princess Yongning’s side, holding her shoulders and smiling, "I did not expect the Princess to be blessed with such good news just after joining our household. This is a blessing for the Li family, and for me as well." He rewarded the imperial physician, who left brimming with happiness, clutching silver. Only then did Princess Yongning breathe a deep sigh of relief.
Li Lian asked, "Elder sister-in-law, do you still feel unwell?"
