Chapter 478: Fake Pregnancy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The following day, Qin Zhenzhen began her act, feigning severe morning sickness.
Soon, news of Qin Zhenzhen’s pregnancy circulated throughout the capital.
Given her renown as a seasoning specialist, her name was widely recognized.
Moreover, with Su Bin newly appointed as the Primus, many eyes were on their activities.
Su Bin deliberately had someone spread the word, adding some extra flavor to the story.
“I’ve heard that Divine Doctor Qin is expecting, and her morning sickness is excruciating. She’s reached the point of vomiting after every meal.”
“Primus Su appears incredibly anxious. He seems eager to experience pregnancy on behalf of his wife!”
“The two of them have quite a reputation as a loving couple. It’s no wonder Primus Su is so devoted to his wife.
There were, of course, those who took the opportunity to mock Qin Zhenzhen.
“What a joke. She’s a miracle doctor, but she can’t alleviate her morning sickness?”
Someone promptly defended her, saying, “What do you know? Being a miracle doctor doesn’t relate to managing pregnancy symptoms. You can’t use medicines indiscriminately during pregnancy! ”
“Moreover, pregnancy reactions vary from person to person. Some experience mild symptoms, while others suffer intense discomfort, vomiting everything they eat. They might even vomit when they haven’t eaten. Some even bring up yellow bile.”
“Ordinary remedies are ineffective, and potent medications must be used with caution. Divine Doctor Qin hails from the southern regions and hasn’t fully acclimated to the capital’s climate. Combined with her pregnancy, you can only imagine her discomfort.”
“Considering her condition, it would be wise for her to return to her hometown.”
“I’ve heard that Primus Su intends to accompany his wife to her hometown for her recovery.”
Upon hearing these discussions, the Crown Prince’s anger was palpable, contorting his face.
He had never forgotten Qin Zhenzhen. Thoughts of when he could take her back to the Crown Prince’s residence had consumed him.
However, he hadn’t disregarded his father’s warning, nor the Public House’s counsel to keep his distance from Qin Zhenzhen. They believed that she was the royal family’s lucky star, having once saved them. The Crown Prince shouldn’t harbor improper intentions toward her, nor her husband, Su Bin.
Another theory posited that Qin Zhenzhen possessed extraordinary luck. She could bring fortune to others, turn misfortune into luck, and even reflect the harm inflicted on her back onto others, as the events in the royal courtyard had demonstrated.
Thus, the Crown Prince was compelled to stifle his desires for the time being.
Now, knowing that Qin Zhenzhen was soon to be a mother, his frustration mounted. He, the Crown Prince, couldn’t possess the woman he desired and had to watch as she bore another man’s child.
Yet, when he contemplated the dragon throne, he convinced himself to put Qin Zhenzhen out of his mind. Once seated in that position, he could have countless women who resembled her to fill the void.
If he couldn’t entirely erase thoughts of Qin Zhenzhen from his mind by then, he was determined to find a way to seduce her.
He now viewed this as a prime opportunity to drive Su Bin away.
With this motive in mind, the Crown Prince paid a visit to the Public House. “Grandfather, I believe it’s time to have Su Bin relocated from the capital.”
His grandfather furrowed his brows. “Why must you create problems for Su Bin?”
The Crown Prince explained, “It’s not that I wish to oppose him, but I strongly suspect that Su Bin is unquestionably aligned with the Third Prince!”
However, his grandfather remained skeptical. “Without any concrete evidence, how can you be certain he’s with the Third Prince?”
The Crown Prince persisted, “It’s better to trust my instincts than not. If he’s unwilling to be manipulated by me, he becomes our adversary..”
