Romance of the Resurrected Crown Princess and the Cold-blooded Wolf King - Chapter 189

Since she could get the Pregnancy Worm, she should know how serious the consequence of being invaded by the Pregnancy Worm was.

Liqing cracked a bitter smile, “Does it matter whether I think it through or not? I have to do this.”

Then, Liqing opened the jade bottle on the table.

Huai’er grabbed Liqing’s hand and stopped her from acting further, “You don’t have to. You have another choice. You can choose…”

Before Huai’er finished talking, she was interrupted by Liqing, “Who do you think gave me the Pregnancy Worm?”

Pregnancy Worm was so rare. Liqing was not from the Wilderness Holy Region at all. How could she have such a thing?

Huai’er seemed to think of something and then said with a frown, “It’s Region Master.” No one else but the region master could have the Pregnancy Worm.

Liqing looked at Huai’er with his eyes full of desolation, “Yes, it’s Region Master who gave it to me. Such being the case, there’s no going back. I don’t have another choice.”

Huai’er stiffened and slowly loosened the grip of Liqing’s hand. If it were Region Master’s order, she couldn’t stop it at all.

Liqing dripped the virgin blood onto the frozen Pregnancy Worm.

“Splatter…” The red virgin blood dripped on the white ice was so offending to the eye but in a trice, the virgin blood disappeared. Then, the ice broke and the Pregnancy Worm was successfully activated.

The activated Pregnancy Worm instantly flew towards Liqing’s belly. Now that the Pregnancy Worm was unfrozen, it was so starving and in great need of eating.

“Argh…” Liqing felt a sharp pain in her belly and then fell off the chair in an instant.

Liqing covered her belly and writhed with pain on the ground. The sharp pain in her belly made all her clothes soaked in the cold sweat. Her face also turned deathly pale.

“Sacred Maiden…” Upon seeing the scene, Huai’er immediately rushed to Liqing and helped her up carefully.

Looking at Liqing’s grimaced face, Huai’er felt a bit pitiful and wiped the sweat off Liqing’s forehead, “How do you feel? Are you feeling much pain?”

There was no luster in Liqing’s eyes. It seemed that she didn’t hear Huai’er’s words at all. Her hand stroking her belly was slightly trembling. She could feel that the part of her body where life could be bred was disappearing bit by bit.

At the moment, Liqing shed a tear because she knew that she would never have her baby anymore. She had lost the ability to be a mom.

Outside the room, Long Yue and Doctor Liu heard the noise from inside and looked at each other. Long Yue went forward to knock on the door again, “Miss Liqing, are you okay?”

Still, there was no response from inside the room. Long Yue was about to bang open the door when the door was suddenly opened.

Huai’er got out of the room and curtsied to Doctor Liu, “Sacred Maiden can’t rise now. Doctor Liu, please come inside with me.” Then, Huai’er turned around and entered the room.

Doctor Liu immediately carried the medicine cabinet and walked inside.

With his eyes glistening, Long Yue also followed inside.

Huai’er ushered Doctor Liu to the bedside. A white bed canopy was hung above the arhat bed. It could be vaguely seen that a person was lying in bed.

Huai’er walked to the bedside and said with a bow, “Sacred Maiden, Doctor Liu is here.”

There was no noise in the bed canopy. A moment later, a slender hand reached out of the bed canopy.

Huai’er made a gesture at Doctor Liu to signal to him to start treating.

Doctor Liu sat on the chair next to the bedside, put his hand on Liqing’s wrist and began taking her pulse.

A moment later, he withdrew his hand and said to the person in the bed canopy, “The pregnancy pulse is a bit weak but you’ll be fine with proper care. I will prescribe you some medicine to prevent miscarriage. Just let your maid fill the prescription.”

Long Yue aside was surprised to hear Doctor Liu’s diagnosis. This woman was really pregnant?

Huai’er noticed the surprise in Long Yue’s eyes and smiled subtly.

Hearing Doctor Liu’s words, the person in the bed canopy still said nothing. Instead, Huai’er aside curtsied to Doctor Liu, “Thank you, Doctor Liu. This way, please.”

With a nod, Doctor Liu got up, followed Huai’er to the round table outside and wrote the prescription.

Long Yue looked at the white bed canopy in suspicion and secretly exerted his mysterious Qi to strike a gust of wind at the bed canopy.

The white bed canopy billowed with the wind. Long Yue took a glance at the arhat bed behind the bed canopy in a hurry only to see a woman lying on the arhat bed with closed eyes and a pale face.

After he took one glance at her, the bed canopy dropped again. Long Yue knitted his eyebrows with confusion.

The woman in the bed canopy suddenly opened her eyes. There was no tear but endless resentment in her eyes. She clenched the sheet harshly. She was so resentful.

She hated Duanmu Xi who took away her love; she hated Xuanyuan Mo who didn’t care about her at all; she hated Xuanyuan Hao who treated her as a pawn. Yet, she hated herself even more. It was her who rid herself of the right to be a mother. From now on, she couldn’t have her own baby anymore. She couldn’t be a mother anymore.

Doctor Liu had finished writing the prescription and then passed it to Huai’er, “This is the prescription. Please take it.”

Huai’er took the prescription and curtsied to Doctor Liu, “Thank you, Doctor Liu.”

After saying goodbye, Doctor Liu and Long Yue left the Northern Courtyard together and went to Xuelan House.

Long Yue stood outside the room and knocked on the door, “Your Highness, Doctor Liu is here.”

Xuanyuan Mo took a glance at Long Yue and raised his hand, “Let him in.”

Lishang immediately replied with a bow, “Yes.”

Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi, Doctor Liu immediately bowed to them, “Greetings, Your Highnesses.”

Xuanyuan Mo glanced at Doctor Liu and said casually, “What’s the result?”

Doctor Liu heard Xuanyuan Mo’s question and immediately replied with a bow, “Your Highness, Miss Li’s pregnancy pulse is a bit weak. I’ve prescribed her some medicine to prevent miscarriage. As long as she adopts the medicine as told, she will be fine.”

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his eyebrows and asked loudly, “You mean she is really pregnant?”

Duanmu Xi also turned to look at Long Yue.

Long Yue took the hint and nodded at Duanmu Xi. Just now, he didn’t believe that Liqing was really pregnant so he waved away the bed canopy to see whether it was Liqing lying in the bed canopy. However, it turned out that she was lying there indeed.

Duanmu Xi frowned with a shimmer of confusion in her dark purple eyes.

Doctor Liu was slightly dazed to hear that and then said with a bow, “Yes. She is pregnant indeed and…”

Doctor Liu took a glance at Duanmu Xi in secret, not sure whether he should continue talking.

“And what?” Xuanyuan Mo shouted grumpily.

Having taken a glance at Duanmu Xi again, Doctor Liu said, “And her pregnancy starting date is pretty close to Her Highness’s, almost at the same time.”

He didn’t want to say it simply because he was afraid that he would piss off Princess Consort Zhan. Liqing was pregnant with Prince Zhan’s baby and her pregnancy starting date was so close to Princess Consort Zhan’s. It indicated that shortly after Prince Zhan slept with Princess Consort Zhan, he slept with Liqing then.

If such a thing happened to other princes, it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, Princess Consort Zhan was not only exalted but also couldn’t stand sharing her husband with another woman. Now that she knew the truth, he wondered whether she would lose her temper.

Xuanyuan Mo stood up and looked at Doctor Liu, exclaiming in astonishment, “What did you say? She is…”

Xuanyuan Mo’s mind was totally in a mess. He didn’t expect that not only was she pregnant but also the date matched. Did he really sleep with her that day? At the thought of the possibility, he felt as if falling into an abyss again.

Doctor Liu saw Xuanyuan Mo’s astonished face and blinked his eyes. What was going on? Why was this so different from his expectation? Princess Consort Zhan whom he thought would go mad only slightly frowned while Prince Zhan looked as if falling into an abyss rather than happy.

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was having a breakdown, Duanmu Xi felt worried and waved at Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu immediately bowed and said, “I’ll excuse myself now.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and took a glance at Long Yue.

Long Yue immediately took the hint and reached out his hand towards Doctor Liu. The two of them got out of the room together.

Duanmu Xi arrived behind Xuanyuan Mo and hugged him from behind gently, “Snow, you must be confident in yourself. I’m sure that you didn’t do it with her.”

According to Snow, he could never sleep with that woman. And Doctor Liu’s medical skills were absolutely reliable. Currently, that woman’s pregnancy was confirmed with her pregnancy starting date close to Duanmu Xi’s. There must be some unknown secret.

Xuanyuan Mo stiffened, turned around to hug Duanmu Xi tightly and buried his face against her shoulders, “Xi…”

He hoped that he hadn’t betrayed his wife. Yet, he had lost his memory. What was happening now was to his disadvantage.

Duanmu Xi stroked Xuanyuan Mo’s back, “Don’t be too stressed out. The truth will reveal itself one day.”

Liqing wouldn’t be pregnant for a lifetime. Unless she delivered the baby and ascertained that it was Snow’s baby, Duanmu Xi wouldn’t believe that Snow had slept with Liqing.

Xuanyuan Mo tightened his arms around Duanmu Xi. He really wanted to recover his memory as soon as possible so that all the puzzles would be solved.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo, “Snow, you must sleep on the ground today.”

Xuanyuan Mo was a bit taken aback to hear that. Then, he asked with a frown, “Why? You’ve just said that you trusted me.”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips and arched her eyebrows, “That’s not the reason why I ask you to sleep on the ground.”

Xuanyuan Mo blinked his eyes with confusion, “Why else can it be?” He didn’t understand what he had done to make him sleep on the ground as a punishment.

Duanmu Xi poked Xuanyuan Mo’s head, “Think yourself.”

What could she say? To say that she was jealous because that woman had seen him naked? Of course she wouldn’t say that. It was such a shame.

Xuanyuan Mo pouted with grievances, “I can’t figure it out.”

Duanmu Xi ignored Xuanyuan Mo’s puppy dog eyes and poked his head again, “Just keep thinking.”
