The man’s gaze was like a scalpel, dissecting her bit by bit.

He seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, which made her feel uncomfortable.

She raised her hand and pinched the bed sheets until they were wrinkled.

The look in her eyes made it seem as if she would stay here and not leave because her vanity had been greatly satisfied in the past two days. It was as if she had occupied everything that should have belonged to Consort Dowager.

In front of other people, she could accept the care and love calmly, but in front of Pei Huai, she seemed to be naked and was seen clearly.

“What do you mean?” The original owner took a deep breath, and her cheeks were red from anger.

“Nothing.” Pei Huai put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the door.

His gaze fell on her face. “I’m just reminding you.”

However, the more relaxed he was, the more embarrassed the original owner felt. “Do you think I’m trying to take her life?”

Pei Huai did not speak and only raised his chin slightly.

Her chest heaved. “Don’t forget, I’m the owner of this body!”

She looked at him bravely, but in the next second, she met the man’s cold and terrifying gaze.

Her heart thumped and her arrogance weakened. “I…l’m just telling the truth…’

Pei Huai looked at her. He did not need to say a word, but her palm was sweating.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget.” She tried her best to calm herself down and make herself look like she was at a disadvantage. “But you haven’t thought of a solution yet, so before that, the fewer people who know that I swapped bodies with her, the better, right?”

The ward was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, but she kept holding her breath and did not relax.

This silent confrontation lasted for a long time. Pei Huai retracted his gaze and left the ward.

She let out a long sigh of relief. In the corridor, Pei Huai closed the door of the ward and took out his phone at the same time as he lifted his foot. He dialed a number and placed it beside his ear.

“Tomorrow night’s flight back to China. Make time for us to meet.”

The other end of the phone answered. It was Bian Tong…

Meanwhile, there were countless matters in the Imperial Court, from the issue of food for the border soldiers to the regulation of conflicts between the officials.

This week passed by quickly for Su Ji, as if it was just a few blinks of the eye.

Su Ji’s body was especially heavy after she got pregnant. Logically speaking, she should not have felt anything since she had only been pregnant for a month. Her body was still the same as usual, without any changes. However, perhaps because she had returned from the modern world, her body, which had been starved and thin by the original owner, seemed to be unable to withstand the pregnancy.

Fortunately, there was stewed chicken, bird’s nest and pear, four-ingredient soup, and black porridge. All kinds of supplements were provided every day. In addition, Wu Zhu’er, Ai Yan, and Ai Meng took good care of her.

The ingredients used for the tonics were all excellent. Su Ji had asked Wu Zhu’er, and she said that Prince Huai had sent them to the palace. When she saw that they were in good condition, she quickly sent them to her. When she said that, she was in high spirits, waiting for Su Ji to praise her.

Su Ji smiled and praised her for being smart.

However, he knew that even if Wu Zhu’er did not want them, the things that

Prince Huai had sent into the palace would eventually be sent to her anyway.

Thinking back to the past, she was distracted by other things and did not think in this direction at all. But now that she knew, everything was too obvious.

Everyone knew what Prince Huai had done to her, but she was completely unaware of it.

Imperial Physician MO would come to check her pulse every day to confirm her pregnancy.

Every time he saw Su Ji, he would tremble with fear. He really did not want to get involved in this matter, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and was tied with the Consort Dowager. He could not get off even if he wanted to.

He had lost weight from stress.

The Consort Dowager had no intention of aborting the fetus. Was she really going to give birth to it at full term?

If the officials were to question him, he, the imperial physician who had been examining the consort’s fetus, would definitely bear the brunt!

When Imperial Physician MO checked Su Ji’s pulse, Su Ji would ask everyone to leave.

Even her confidants.

It was the same for the nourishing soup that she drank every day. Actually, she had many prescriptions that were better for pregnant women, just like the ones she had prescribed for Pei Xi. However, she did not use them and only drank those for ordinary women.

It was so that no one could see through it.

Over the past few days, Su Ji gradually felt that her return to the Great Shang was not a coincidence. It was more like she was pulled back by someone. That power might have existed before, but there was something that could resist it, protect her, and keep her in the present world. Later, when the thing that could resist was gone, that power became stronger and stronger.

Perhaps it was still a little abstract now because she had not found any evidence.

However, someone wanted to keep her here, in the Great Shang.

This should be the case.

“Your Highness’ pulse remains the same. The fetus is healthy.”

Imperial Physician Mo’s trembling voice rang out. After today’s pulse examination, Su Ji r withdrew her hand and leaned against the bed in a carefree manner.

“Thank you, Imperial Physician Mo.”

Imperial Physician MO lifted his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He felt guilty when he said those words after the consultation.

The Emperor had passed away three years ago. Who was the father?

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to say what he had hesitated for many days. “Consort Dowager…”

Su Ji looked at him through the curtain, her peerlessly beautiful eyes faintly discernible through the flowing gauze curtain.

Imperial Physician MO swallowed nervously. “Actually…l have not been feeling well recentlv, and it has become more and more serious these few davs. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for me to take Your Highness’ pulse every day. If it’s possible, can Your Highness get another…” “No,” Su Ji refused without batting an eyelid.

Imperial Physician Mo: ‘

It was impossible for other imperial physicians to know about her pregnancy, so even though it was quite difficult for Imperial Physician MO, Su Ji had no other choice. Her fair fingers pressed the cinnabar red dot between her eyebrows and said in a harmless tone, “if Imperial Physician MO wants to quit, then the child will have a father.”

Imperial Physician MO opened his mouth and looked at the curtain. After pausing for a long time, he understood what the Consort Dowager meant!

He was so shocked that he took a step back. “Consort Dowager, please spare this lowly official!”

“Just come and check my pulse every day. You don’t have to deliver the baby.

It’s not that serious.”

Imperial Physician MO was on the verge of tears, but he couldn’t persuade her, so he could only agree.

He pouted and packed up the medicine box as if he had suffered a great grievance.

At this moment, Su Ji pulled open the curtain and walked out from behind the bed.

“Oh right, Imperial Physician Mo.”

Imperial Physician MO looked at her warily and moved a few steps away from her until he stuck himself flat against the wall!

Su Ji placed her hand on the edge of the table in front of him and stood very close to him. She asked in a low voice, “a few days ago, late at night, the servant of Prince Huai’s residence went to get a physician.. Do you know about this?”
