Quick Transmigration: Knowing I'm a Bad Woman, Yet Still Liking Me?

Hearing Bai Yuan say this, Xiao Chengze's expression improved somewhat.

However, he also knew that if he wanted to cover this up, he would eventually have to get past his elder brother.

He looked at Jiang Zi and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

I don't know if this kid is genuinely naive or just truly happy for Xiao Chengze.

He wasn't afraid of this at all, casually saying, "As long as we shut the people in the Imperial Hospital up, there are plenty of ways. For example, in a little over a month, we can say that the Imperial Concubine is pregnant with twins."

"What about when you give birth?" Xiao Chengze's eyes lit up as he continued to ask.

"It's easy. We can secretly bring another one, or say that one of them died after birth, or wait until the seventh or eighth month, and then say that something unexpected happens to the Imperial Concubine, and that one of the children in her womb can be saved."

Bai Yuan looked at Jiang Zi, who had a calm expression, and thought that this kid was a talent. If he were a woman, he would definitely be a master of palace intrigue.

But after he finished speaking, he sighed and looked at Xiao Chengze, "Your Highness, what you should be worried about now is not these things, but how to protect the Imperial Concubine's pregnancy."

Xiao Chengze understood that once the news of Bai Yuan's pregnancy spread, all the concubines in the harem, especially the Empress and Consort Shu, and perhaps even the current Consort De, would go crazy.

Not only them, but the Emperor and his mother would also absolutely not let her give birth so easily.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment. Xiao Chengze frowned in thought, and then his eyes slowly turned fierce.

He gently stroked Bai Yuan's lower abdomen and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can touch you."

Bai Yuan smiled at him. Actually, as long as she was pregnant, there was a way to keep the baby.

However, since Xiao Chengze himself wanted to take responsibility for this matter, she was happy to let him make the first move.

She reached out and hooked her arm around the man's neck. "Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness, Prince Jin."

Xiao Chengze lowered his eyes, looking at the woman in his arms with her beautiful eyes and captivating gaze. He was aroused and his heart fluttered. "Alas, who told me to fall for your trick? Now whatever I do is only right."

Bai Yuan rolled her eyes. "To put it nicely, you're getting a good deal and then acting innocent. To put it bluntly... heh."

Xiao Chengze pressed down on her lower back, "I have never seen anyone as bold as you."

"Now you've seen it." Bai Yuan winked at him.

"Behave yourself. With your body right now, just behave yourself and don't cause any trouble."

"ha?"

Bai Yuan was speechless. This bastard man, he blamed her for his lack of self-control?

After chatting for a while, Bai Yuan got sleepy again. Xiao Chengze coaxed her to sleep before leaving with Jiang Zi.

The next morning, when Bai Yuan was eating breakfast, although she didn't experience morning sickness, she still felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach.

She simply threw down her chopsticks and started wandering around the yard.

After lunch, she slept all afternoon. When she got up, she took her people to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

She had no choice but to go; if she waited any longer, she would start experiencing morning sickness, and it would be easy for her to give herself away if she tried to find Xiao Chengyu then.

However, once inside, she didn't act too intimately this time, sitting directly opposite Xiao Chengyu. "Is Your Majesty feeling any better?"

Xiao Chengze looked at her with amusement. "Why don't you sit down here?"

The woman who used to throw herself into his arms was suddenly becoming distant, and he was not used to it.

Bai Yuan pursed her lips. "I won't go. It would seem as if I were obliged to serve the emperor."

"Heh, aren't you one?"

Bai Yuan slapped the memorial out of his hand, her little face full of anger. "I did think about it before, but seeing that His Majesty has been delaying entering the inner palace, I'm more worried about your health."

"Hahaha."

Xiao Chengyu chuckled at her awkward expression, tossed the memorial aside, and scooped her into his arms with one hand. "How does this feel? Does my body feel much better?"

"Ah~"

Bai Yuan quickly hugged the man's neck, looking at him reproachfully, "It's alright, why did you scare me?"

Looking at her face, Xiao Chengyu couldn't resist and leaned down to kiss her. "I have people to see later, so be good and go back first. I'll come over later, okay?"

Bai Yuan lowered her head, quickly got up, didn't bother with a bow, and swayed her hips as she walked straight outside.

Xiao Chengyu didn't blame her, but just smiled and stared at her back.

She continued until she gradually faded into the distance, eventually disappearing at the end of the vermilion palace walls.

Perhaps Xiao Chengyu was really busy, because Bai Yuan didn't come over until nightfall.

"It's so late, why did you come over?" Bai Yuan looked at him from her bedside.

"I'm afraid you'll be angry if I don't come. Besides, I've already promised you, so of course I have to keep my word."

Bai Yuan straightened up, her voice lower, "Of course I wanted you to come, but it's too late, and I'm worried about Your Majesty."

The candlelight flickered in the room, the curtains hung lightly, and Xiao Chengze's breathing became rapid.

It wasn't until late at night that he reluctantly let go of her hand. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Yuan leaned lazily against his chest. "I am feeling a little unwell. I had the imperial physician come to see me a few days ago. He said that my health had been much better, but I was frightened last time and it has been fluctuating."

"Then let's get some rest."

As soon as Xiao Chengyu finished speaking, he saw Bai Yuan's head lower little by little. He smiled, reached out and pulled the thin blanket next to him to cover her up.

The next morning, Xiao Chengyu went straight to court without waking her up.

Wang Shunan arrived around noon, still carrying a food box. "Your Highness, His Majesty is worried about your health and specially sent me to bring you astragalus and black chicken soup."

Bai Yuan vomited when she got up, and her complexion was not good. She didn't want to talk to anyone.

Seeing this, Wan Yue quickly spoke up, "Eunuch Wang, the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well right now, so please drink the soup later."

Wang Shunan looked distressed. "If Your Majesty were to offer even a symbolic sip of His Majesty's gift, I could at least report back. If you don't drink it, His Majesty will inevitably have some doubts."

Bai Yuan felt that Wang Shun'an didn't even want to act anymore. She looked at him coldly, then slowly stood up and knocked the bowl of soup to the ground right in front of him.

"I understand what Eunuch Wang means, but I will not drink today. You are free to go back to His Majesty and say that I am wrong."

The emperor did indeed administer the medicine, but according to Physician Yang's previous examination, the dosage was a bit too strong.

Bai Yuan suspected that it was that old bastard Wang Shun'an who, under the guise of the emperor, had given her extra drugs.

Wang Shunan's face darkened. He absolutely did not want the Imperial Concubine to be pregnant, but since things had come to this point, it would be wrong of him to persist.

He stepped back, cupped his hands, and said, "Then this servant will return to His Majesty to report."

On the way back, he kept thinking about what to do, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't come up with a better solution.

Upon returning, he immediately knelt before Xiao Chengyu, saying, "Your Majesty, this servant has failed in his duties and begs Your Majesty for punishment."

Xiao Chengyu didn't even look up, and asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

"His Majesty sent me to deliver soup to Yufu Palace, but the Imperial Concubine spilled it. What should we do?"

Xiao Chengyu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then continued writing, "Never mind, she's not feeling well and doesn't want to drink this time, so let's just forget about it."

Wang Shunan hadn't expected His Majesty to say that, and asked uncertainly, "Your Majesty, what if...?"

Xiao Chengyu raised his head, his gaze fixed on him, his tone icy cold, "If your tongue grows too long, you have to cut it. If your hand stretches too far, you have to chop it off."
