538 I Like Nuo’er, Not Daughters
Head Physician Zhang received the order.
The third prince also said, “I’ve been studying pulse reading recently. When Head Physician Zhang is done later, let me try as well and see if I read anything.”
Noble Consort Qiao nodded in agreement.
Head Physician Zhang and Gu Ziyao walked towards Consort Rou.
Consort Rou’s fear intensified.
If the imperial physician and the third prince both discovered that something was amiss, she would lose her life!
If an ordinary imperial physician came, Consort Rou would still feel a little lucky.
But why did Head Physician Zhang happen to be the one who was called over?
His medical skills were superb, not to mention that there was a third prince who was born with a passion to study pharmacology!
Just as Consort Rou was cowering and thinking of a way to refuse…
A voice suddenly sounded from the inner hall—
“Wait.”
Consort Rou was delighted when she heard this voice.
It was His Majesty’s voice!
Could it be that when His Majesty heard that she was pregnant, he wanted to comfort her first and find an imperial physician for her another day?!
Gu Yihan walked out with a dark expression and subconsciously glanced at Noble Consort Qiao’s expression.
Noble Consort Qiao was sitting in the main seat. When she saw Gu Yihan come out, she only stood up slightly and bowed.
Gu Yihan, “…”
His woman was angry.
Noble Consort Qiao’s attitude couldn’t be seen on the surface, but her tone was like a cold arrow.
“His Majesty, Consort Rou said that she’s been pregnant for more than four months, but this consort didn’t notice it. This consort will find an opportunity to apologize to you later.”
Gu Yihan’s expression was tense as he gave her a long look without saying anything.
Instead, he asked Consort Rou, “You’re four months pregnant?”
Consort Rou nodded shyly.
Gu Yihan walked to her side with his hands behind his back and said in a voice that everyone could hear, “Head Physician Zhang, prescribe medicine and have Consort Rou abort the child.”
Everyone, “!!!”
Head Physician Zhang was in disbelief. “Your Majesty?”
Consort Rou’s eyes widened in horror. “Your Majesty, why…”
She was afraid that Gu Yihan would think that she was pregnant with a prince.
Consort Rou quickly cried and said, “Last month, when this consort invited my family to the palace, they brought a famous midwife from the city. When she felt this consort’s pulse, she said that this consort was pregnant with a little princess, Your Majesty! On account that the child is innocent, no matter how this consort has angered you, please spare this child’s life!”
As she spoke, she staggered up and crawled up to Gu Yihan, grabbing his sleeve tightly and pleading.
When Noble Consort Qiao saw this, she sneered softly and supported her chin with the back of her beautiful and fair hand, turning her head to the side.
Gu Yihan lowered his eyes and looked at her extremely silently. His tone was cold. “Consort Rou, before Nuo’er was born, I did want a daughter. But now, I like Nuo’er, not daughters. Do you understand?”
Consort Rou felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
His Majesty only liked Gu Nuo’er?!
Gu Yihan’s eyes were cold. “If I let you give birth to another child, regardless of whether it’s a boy or a girl, Nuo’er won’t be the youngest in the palace. What if Nuo’er feels aggrieved and doesn’t think that she is valued by everyone?”
Consort Rou bit her lip tightly, tears streaming down her face.
How could His Majesty say such inhumane things?
Gu Yihan reluctantly reached out and patted her shoulder. “It’s not easy for you to get pregnant. I’ll get someone to reward you with a chest of gold later. After taking the medicine, you can go back and rest.”
At this moment, Consort Rou’s beautiful dream was completely shattered by Gu Yihan’s words!
If she was really pregnant, not only would Gu Yihan take her child’s life with one sentence, but he would send her away like a piece of rag by giving only a chest of gold?!
Gu Yihan was so ruthless!
Consort Rou sobbed uncontrollably. “Your Majesty, please…”
Before she could say anything, Gu Yihan withdrew the sleeve from her hand and instructed Head Physician Zhang, “Prescribe the medicine. If she doesn’t drink it, force her to take it!”
