It was from the Emperor himself that the word had come, and it could not be ignored!
「...」
After leaving the Jiaofang Hall of the Empress, Zhao Junyao had intended to go to Qingya Residence. After a moment's thought, however, he decided to head back to Zhaochen Palace.
No sooner had he sat down in the Imperial Study Room than Li Shengan came to report, "Emperor, Imperial Doctor Zhang requests an audience!"
Li Shengan had kept Zhaochen Palace tightly secured, preventing the Empress from getting any news. Only then did Imperial Doctor Zhang dare to come. Zhao Junyao pondered for a moment and then called him in. He, too, had sensed something amiss, which was why he had turned back.
Imperial Doctor Zhang knelt before the Emperor, respectfully saying, "Emperor, Honored Lady Cheng seems to have the pulse of pregnancy, only... the term is too short, less than a month, and I... dare not confirm it!"
Zhao Junyao nodded. Just as I suspected.
