Chapter 258 Pregnancy
There was an expression of unspeakable pain between Xu Jiaoran's brows. She kept vomiting. Her stomach was empty, but the painful vomiting did not stop.
Xu Jiaoran seemed unable to hold on any longer and suddenly fainted on the ground.
Li Zhen caught her fiercely. Seeing her like this, his eyes turned from anger at first to anxiety.
"Go! Go quickly! Call the imperial physician!"
In the magnificent imperial palace, he summoned the most respected imperial physician.
The imperial physician took Xu Jiaoran's pulse, lowered his head for a long time, and slowly raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't say anything, everything was revealed in his expression.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is pregnant."
The imperial physician's words were solemn and clear.
When Li Zhen heard this, he didn't react for a moment. When he understood what the imperial physician meant, the irritability in his brows suddenly disappeared. He looked at the imperial physician with a little disbelief and asked, "Are you serious? Did you make the right diagnosis?"
"Your Majesty, I think my humble servant made the right diagnosis. The Imperial Concubine should have been pregnant for more than two months. To be on the safe side, we need to ask other imperial doctors to come and diagnose together!"
The imperial physician also knew that the imperial concubine was favored by the emperor, so he dared not act too rashly now, lest he be chopped to death if he was not careful.
"Go and get another doctor!"
The imperial physicians came one after another and gave him the same answer: Xu Jiaoran was indeed pregnant.
Xu Jiaoran became pregnant with his child.
Li Zhen looked at Xu Jiaoran's belly, a little dazed.
Li Zhen's heart was full of complicated emotions. After a moment of shock, he accepted the fact that Xu Jiaoran was pregnant. His eyes revealed a complex emotion, with both expectations for the future and confusion about the past. He stood in front of the bed, looking at Jiaoran's pale and resolute face, but his heart was full of doubts and confusion.
When he realized what was happening, Li Zhen was overjoyed, and his face showed an expression of incredible surprise. His child would finally come into this world, a child from his bloodline was about to be born.
His anger seemed to be gradually smoothed over by the facts, and his expectations for his child burned into warmth in his eyes.
Li Zhen just sat quietly beside the bed, waiting for Xu Jiaoran to wake up and tell her the news.
When Xu Jiaoran woke up, she saw Li Zhen standing beside the bed happily, and immediately turned her face away in disgust.
However, Li Zhen was not annoyed, but asked gently: "Do you want to eat something? What do you want to eat? I will ask the imperial kitchen to make it for you. If you really feel uncomfortable, I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine for you."
Li Zhen seemed to rarely talk to Xu Jiaoran like this. Xu Jiaoran didn't understand and wondered what he was up to again.
"If you disappear in front of me, I won't feel so bad!"
However, Li Zhen seemed to be completely deaf to her sarcasm. He took her hand, stroked her belly together, and said to her happily: "Ah Jiao, we are pregnant."
However, Li Zhen's joy was not passed on to Xu Jiaoran.
After she heard what Li Zhen said, she felt a chill in her heart. Her eyes were full of pain and determination. That was a child she didn't want to give birth to. It was the inheritance of the person she hated. She silently looked at the moonlight gradually disappearing outside the window, but her heart was as deep and dark as the dark night.
"No, I don't want to have a baby."
Xu Jiaoran's voice was low and firm, and her face was pale, only cold and resolute. She didn't want to give birth to this child for Li Zhen. She hated him, his schemes and hypocrisy, and even more so this child who might inherit his bloodline.
Emperor Li Zhen's face changed slightly, and he showed anger and incredible confusion. His feelings and pity for her turned into disappointment and helplessness in an instant. But as an emperor, his expression instantly returned to his usual deep and calm expression. "Why?" He asked softly.
However, Xu Jiaoran did not answer him. She just kept beating her belly, trying to abort the baby, and kept muttering like a madman: "I don't want to have a baby! I don't want to have a baby! I would rather die than have a baby!"
When Xu Jiaoran's eyes revealed determination and struggle, Li Zhen's face suddenly became cloudy.
He knew Xu Jiaoran's determination, she wanted to abort the child. He couldn't stand this idea, his child couldn't be easily abandoned.
He restrained Xu Jiaoran's hands from beating her belly, widened his eyes, and spoke with unquestionable authority: "If you dare to touch our child, I will let your bastard be buried with you!"
This sentence was like frost in the cold winter, instantly freezing Xu Jiaoran's hopes and expectations.
She stared at the demon in front of her with her eyes wide open. The despair in her heart was like a dark abyss, unable to extricate herself. She tried to stay calm, trying to find a glimmer of hope and life.
However, Li Zhen's words plunged her into the abyss of despair.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at her belly - although it was a life, to her, it was truly an endless abyss. As long as she gave birth to this child, her life would be over.
"You..." Xu Jiaoran's voice trembled, "Why do you treat me like this? I hate you Li Zhen! I hate you..."
Xu Jiaoran cried inconsolably and heart-wrenchingly.
Li Zhen listened to her crying, and a trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He knew that what he said was too cruel, but he couldn't accept losing this child. He walked forward and tried to hold Xu Jiaoran's hand, "Jiaoran, you have a child now, don't cry like this, I will treat you and the child well in the future."
However, Xu Jiaoran suddenly pulled her hand back, "I don't want it!"
She smiled bitterly, "I can't bear it."
Li Zhen was stunned. He looked at Xu Jiaoran's determined eyes and her determination to not turn back. His heart felt as heavy as if it was pressed down by a huge rock.
At first he just wanted to get her and possess her, and then he just wanted her to obey him, but he was not so happy when she obeyed him, so what did he want now?
Li Zhen stroked Xu Jiaoran's belly and suddenly realized in his heart that what he wanted was love!
He wanted Xu Jiaoran to love him, and he wanted a home, a warm home.
"Jiao Ran, no matter what, you and the child must stay with me." Li Zhen said stubbornly.
Xu Jiaoran lost all her strength and closed her eyes, her heart filled with confusion and exhaustion. She was unwilling to face the reality that she was about to give birth to Li Zhen's child. She was filled with fear of the future and hatred of the past.
Day after day, Xu Jiaoran's belly grew bigger and bigger, and she became more and more haggard and thin. She refused to eat or drink, and she seemed to have lost her vitality.
Her heart was filled with fear for the future and despair for life. She knew that this child was the continuation of Li Zhen, his blood and shadow. She could not accept that she would become the mother of this person.
However, her fate would not change because of her will. The child grew bigger and bigger inside her body, and her body became more and more tired and weak. Her heart was numb and she had lost her feelings for everything. She just lived mechanically, waiting for the inevitable ending.
Seeing her like this, Li Zhen was angry and distressed. At first, he treated her gently, but she ignored his words. Li Zhen could only threaten her: "If you don't eat, your bastard won't eat either!"
