Nangong Shuangshuang discreetly put away the paper ball and continued examining Cheng Mei Ren's body. Although she didn't notice any abdominal pain, she discovered that Cheng Mei Ren seemed to be pregnant.
Nangong Shuangshuang was taken aback. This shouldn't be possible. Every concubine in the harem has been schemed against by the Empress Dowager. How could Cheng Mei Ren possibly be pregnant? However, after a thorough examination, Nangong Shuangshuang confirmed that she indeed was.
Nangong Shuangshuang took a long time feeling the pulse, confirming that she hadn't misdiagnosed. After thinking it over, she concluded that Cheng Mei Ren's constitution must be unique, with some resistance to the Empress Dowager's drugs, allowing her to conceive.
However, even if Cheng Mei Ren could conceive, her body wouldn't be able to sustain the child for more than a month before it would silently miscarry, without her even knowing she had been pregnant.
