Chu Nanli let out a sigh of relief.
She had spread the false news of her infertility precisely to conceal her pregnancy.
When the time came, she would wear more layers to appear a bit fatter, so even if her stomach grew larger, everyone would just think she had put on weight, not that she was pregnant.
However, this was a risky move, meaning she must succeed in giving birth before leaving Ye Yunting's sight.
...
Yang Shu was very efficient in handling affairs; she quickly bribed the Imperial Physician, under the pretext of a health check, to examine Chu Nanli's pulse.
The diagnosis was that Chu Nanli could no longer bear children.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Yunting's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he summoned Bai Wuheng.
"That day you took Chu Nanli's pulse, was there anything unusual?" he asked.
"That day Chu Nanli was uncooperative, and I did not take her pulse," replied Bai Wuheng.
