Chapter 70 Happy pulse!
Chu Li quickly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and counted the days in his mind. It had been more than a month since that night.
She didn't wash herself in time that night, could it be that...
She frowned and said, "No, it shouldn't be like that."
She calmed down, sat in the pavilion, and began to take her own pulse.
Suddenly, Ye Hanting walked out of the house and interrupted Chu Li's pulse taking.
Chu Li turned around, and Ye Hanting saw that her face was obviously pale.
"What's wrong, Prince? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Li was almost sure that she was pregnant when she took Ye Hanting's pulse just now. She looked at Ye Hanting in a trance, "Sir, I suddenly feel unwell. How about we learn again another day?"
Seeing that her face was indeed ugly, Ye Hanting nodded and said, "Let's ask the imperial physician to take a look."
Chu Li smiled, "Okay."
After Ye Hanting left, Chu Li went into the room, calmed himself down, and began to take his own pulse again.
She even vaguely heard her own heartbeat.
Chu Li placed his index finger, middle finger and ring finger on the Cunkou pulse.
The pulse beats strongly, and is smooth like a bead. It is powerful and swirling, rapid and not stagnant, like a small bubble swimming in the blood vessels.
Chu Li collapsed, it was indeed a pregnancy pulse!
The man was as strong as an ox and he made her cum in one try!
How to do?
It was already difficult enough for her to disguise herself as a man and become the crown prince, and now she had to deal with another child.
Chu Li stood up and paced around the room. After a while, she calmed down completely.
She thought about how she was abandoned by her mother in her previous life and how she had never had a real home since she was a child.
Chu Li felt a pang in her heart and she touched her still flat stomach with her hand.
A little life is already being conceived.
This is her child!
She couldn't give up this child.
Once Chu Li makes up his mind, he will not change it.
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, she wants to keep the child.
The men's clothes she wore were loose, so her pregnant belly was not noticeable at all in the first few months.
When she was about to give birth, she could just find a reason to leave the capital and give birth to the baby.
Anyway, no matter what, she would never kill her own child with her own hands.
Bing Xia knocked on the door and came in. She saw that Chu Li looked a little strange, so she asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You don't look very well."
Chu Li was not ready to tell Bing Xia about this, so he answered perfunctorily, "It's okay."
"General Mu Feng said that General Mu wants you to go back to the Mu Mansion."
"Okay." Chu Li nodded. His grandfather and his family would have to go there sooner or later anyway, so he might as well go today.
Chu Li returned to his grandfather's house in a carriage accompanied by Huanyan and Bingxia.
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Mu Jiangge practicing martial arts with a long stick in the yard.
When Mu Jiangge saw her, he quickly put away his stick and rushed towards Chu Li.
"Cousin, you are here!"
Chu Li smiled, "Cousin is practicing martial arts?"
Mu Jiangge curled his lips and said, "They don't allow me to wield swords or guns, so I can only play with a broken stick."
She smiled brightly and pointed to the two hammers on the ground with one hand, "And those two, they were used to pound medicine in the past. They are quite handy for me."
"My cousin is very skilled." Chu Li praised.
Chu Li's shoulder was patted heavily by Mu Jiangge, who said heartlessly, "My cousin has good taste. I just feel that they don't understand me. They ask me to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting every day. How can these be suitable for me!"
Chu Li moved his shoulder which was hurt by the pat. This girl is really strong. She is a good candidate for martial arts. It's a pity that Mr. Mu doesn't like women wielding swords and guns.
Mu Feng walked over wearing black clothes with dark patterns. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, an upright demeanor, and was full of righteousness. Perhaps he was a good father.
When Chu Li thought of this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Will the baby in her belly have to call Mu Feng “Uncle” in the future?
That’s outrageous!
Mu Feng was also drugged at that time, and she was the one who forced him first. Plus, they had exchanged secret codes before, so the meaning was obvious.
Mu Feng hopes that she will forget everything that happened that night.
She hopes so too.
Therefore, she would never tell Mu Feng about the existence of this child, let alone let Mu Feng be responsible.
Her life plan has changed from selecting the good genes from the father to keep the son.
Now that she has a child, she is rich and powerful, and her child will have everything he needs in the future, so let the father go.
Mu Feng had no idea that Chu Li's heart had undergone so many changes during the ten or so steps he took.
He was present at every morning court session and naturally witnessed every highlight moment of Chu Li.
Chu Li could feel that when Mu Feng looked at her, he no longer disliked her as much as when they first met.
"Let's go, grandpa is waiting for you." Mu Feng waved at Chu Li.
Chu Li and Mu Feng walked side by side, and Mu Jiangge followed.
"Wait for me, I'll go too!"
Chu Li entered the room and saw a man sitting on a high seat. The old man was about sixty years old, with some gray hair on his temples. He looked like a military general, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was full of righteousness.
My maternal grandfather’s name was Mu Guoan. He was a veteran of three dynasties of the Great Chu Kingdom and a founding general.
Chu Li nodded respectfully, "Hello, Grandfather."
Mu Guoan had no expression, just staring at her. Mu Jiangge tilted his head and watched the eye contact between them.
"Grandfather, don't you know your cousin?"
Mu Guoan narrowed his eyes and looked away. He had seen Chu Li two years ago. At that time, Chu Li had a hunched back and avoided looking, which made him look unpleasant.
Now Chu Li stood there confidently, with a different temperament, as if he had become a different person.
Although he was not in the court, he could not hide anything that happened in the court. He recently heard about some of the things Chu Li did, which were all done very well.
That's why he couldn't help but want to meet Chu Li.
He thought back to the childhood of brother Chu Li and Chu Chu, who looked very similar. However, his poor granddaughter Chu Chu died at a very young age. In a trance, he saw the faces of Chu Li and Chu Chu overlapping.
Mu Jiangge saw the sadness in her grandfather's eyes. She knew that her grandfather didn't want to see Chu Li in recent years because Chu Li looked almost exactly like her cousin Chu Chu.
When they were young, they played together. She climbed trees to rob bird nests, crawled into dog holes to fight, climbed over walls and was chased by big dogs, and was beaten three times a day.
Chuchu likes music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is well-behaved and cute, and filial to her elders, so her grandfather loves Chuchu the most.
That year, after cousin Chuchu passed away, my grandfather locked himself in the house for three days and three nights without eating.
Now, how could my grandfather not feel sad when he sees such a similar face?
In Chu Li's memory, her grandfather was very kind and amiable when she was a child, but after she grew up, her grandfather met her several times and disliked him very much.
Now that they met again, she couldn't continue to be so distant from her grandfather.
The grandfather loved the original owner very much when he was a child. Since he couldn't tell him the truth, at least he wouldn't let him despise him.
After all, these are the few blood relatives she has in this strange world.
She was just thinking of winning by being clever, when Mu Jiangge suddenly said, "Grandfather, my cousin is an excellent archer. Why don't you compete with him?"
Chu Li: “…”
