Chapter 1575: Chapter 1576: Some Are Happy, Some Are Sad

Xiao Changyi already had a hunch, but still asked persistently, ”Is it multiple pregnancies?”

The four Imperial Physicians exchanged glances, and then one of them, representing the group, respectfully said, ”We have only ever checked the pulse for twins before, but never anything like this with the Queen. We dare not speculate.” He paused for a moment, ”Doctor Jiang once checked the Queen’s pulse; back then, she was carrying quadruplets, maybe he can find out.”

Xiao Changyi did not immediately send for Doctor Jiang from the palace. Instead, he turned to look at Gong Juechen, ”Are you really sure it’s multiple births?”

Gong Juechen had already sat back down next to Ye Zhi, smiling broadly, chatting quietly with her while eating. Hearing Xiao Changyi’s question, he replied, ”It’s definitely multiple births; absolutely certain.”

Xiao Changyi promptly asked again, ”How many?”

An Jing just found it amusing. Her husband looked so panicked right now. Even if she was pregnant with just one, it would be fine, but she was pregnant with multiples again.

Gong Juechen shrugged and said, ”That I don’t know, but it should be more than two.”

Xiao Changyi: ”...”

An Jing couldn’t hold back any longer and collapsed in laughter on Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi immediately held her tightly, fearing she might bump or fall.

After steadying An Jing and ensuring she was all right, he then turned and ordered Qin Yi to quickly go to the palace and bring Doctor Jiang.

By the time Doctor Jiang hurried over, Xiao Changyi and the others had already finished their meal and were sitting in the main hall.

As soon as Doctor Jiang arrived, Xiao Changyi asked him to check An Jing’s pulse to see how many she was carrying.

Doctor Jiang was somewhat surprised to learn that An Jing was expecting multiples again, but after checking the pulse, he still couldn’t determine the exact number and could only honestly say, ”To inform the King, the Queen is not far enough along in her pregnancy for my skills to detect this yet. Once the time is right, if it’s quadruplets, I should be able to tell.”

The reason for mentioning quadruplets specifically was because he had encountered such a pulse before, so it was a safe answer.

However, after hearing what Doctor Jiang said, Xiao Changyi didn’t want to say anything more. He already had four kids, and now another four...

”Husband.” Seeing that Xiao Changyi was showing no signs of happiness, An Jing was a bit displeased. He had clearly promised to be happy.

Upon hearing An Jing call him, Xiao Changyi understood immediately and hastily forced a smile, but it was so strained that it would have been better not to smile at all.

An Jing was no longer displeased, just found it amusing.

After Doctor Jiang left, An Jing noticed that Gong Juese and Li Wuyu were both looking at her with envy, as if they too wished to be pregnant with multiples.

Li Wuyu even spoke enviously, ”Master, you are truly blessed to be pregnant with multiples again. No one else in the world is as fortunate as you.”

Previously, when An Jing was pregnant with quadruplets, it shocked the entire world. To this day, no woman has broken that record. And now, An Jing was pregnant with multiples again...she was really envious.

Before An Jing could respond, Gong Juechen laughed and said, ”Either Changyi is exceptionally powerful, or Jingjing naturally has a multiple-pregnancy body constitution, but either way, being pregnant with multiples again is certainly a cause for celebration.”

Tobanya wore a smile for An Jing’s happiness, but inside she felt particularly bitter. She too wanted to be pregnant...

Meng Zhuqing knew this scene would make Tobanya overthink, so he took advantage of the chair in front to secretly grasp Tobanya’s hand tightly, as a gesture of comfort.

Tobanya did not turn her head to look at him but gripped his hand back tightly, intertwining their fingers.
