Chapter 125: Chapter 125 Tell Yanyan the Truth

The next morning, Chu Nanli exercised in the courtyard upon rising early.

After a set of the Five Animal Frolics, her body was already covered in a layer of sweat.

Under these days of both internal and external conditioning, her body’s health had significantly improved.

At this moment, Yanyan came to report that breakfast was ready.

"I’ll wash my hands and then eat."

"Yes, I’ll let the kitchen serve the dishes now."

The breakfast was not particularly lavish, but it contained all the necessary nutrients to ensure the fetus in her belly received what it needed for growth.

However, midway through breakfast, Chu Nanli suddenly felt a churn in her stomach.

She couldn’t help but cover her mouth to retch.

The expression on Yanyan’s face changed immediately, "My lady, are you feeling unwell?"

With other servant girls in the room, Chu Nanli struggled to suppress the urge to continue retching and said, "Perhaps I ate too much last night, and my stomach hasn’t returned to normal yet."

Yanyan did not suspect anything else, "You can’t go on like this today. My lady, you know medicine, why don’t you give yourself a few acupuncture treatments to see if it will help?"

After this episode, Chu Nanli no longer had the appetite to continue eating.

She followed Yanyan’s words and said, "Hmm, help me back to my room."

Yanyan quickly complied, helping Chu Nanli up while instructing another servant girl in the room, "Clear the table."

"Yes."

After Chu Nanli returned to her inner chamber, she gestured for Yanyan to close the door.

As soon as she sat down, the wave of nausea in her stomach was uncontrollable, and she started retching into a spittoon.

Yanyan stood by, too worried to even breathe deeply. As Chu Nanli felt slightly better, Yanyan quickly said, "My lady, shall I boil a pot of hot water for you? Perhaps drinking something warm might make you feel better."

"No need."

Chu Nanli wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her, and said, "What I am about to tell you must not be leaked. You and I know it, and once we leave this room, it cannot be known by a third party."

Yanyan, seeing how serious Chu Nanli was, also grew tense and quickly nodded.

"I will not leak a word; I assure you I will keep it confidential."

Chu Nanli willing to discuss the matter of the fetus with Yanyan signified that she truly considered Yanyan to be a confidant.

"I was pregnant before, and the Concubine Lin used the excuse of needing a live fetus for medicine, leading Prince Yunting to forcibly abort my fetus."

Yanyan’s face showed an expression of sympathy.

Chu Nanli looked at her and said, "The fetus was indeed aborted, but I saved him and have kept him in a place of absolute safety."

Yanyan’s eyes widened, pausing for a long while before saying, "But... it’s so tiny..."

Chu Nanli, not letting her know about the space and Breeding Box, lured her saying, "You know my medical skills are not ordinary, I have the ability to keep him alive and healthy even outside the womb."

Yanyan sighed in relief and believed Chu Nanli without any doubt.

Chu Nanli continued with another heavy piece of news.

"It was during that abortifacient moment that I discovered not just one fetus in my belly. I am carrying twins, two boys, and there is still one child in my womb."

Yanyan was astonished, her face full of shock as she looked at Chu Nanli, feeling as if her brain couldn’t keep up.

Chu Nanli sighed helplessly.

"It’s true." She caressed her belly and slowly said, "So the retching just now wasn’t due to stomach discomfort, it was morning sickness."

Yanyan was alarmed and then overjoyed.

"That’s wonderful! You need to nourish yourself then!"

Chu Nanli made a silencing gesture, saying, "This matter cannot be made known, if Prince Yunting and Concubine Lin found out, the two children might not survive."

Yanyan, thinking of how ruthless Prince Yunting had been towards her mistress previously, agreed strongly and quickly nodded.

"I understand, and I will keep it confidential. Your diet and daily routine will appear as usual on the surface, but I will arrange for the kitchen to prepare some nourishing dishes for you, just say you are weak after the abortion and need to recuperate properly."

Chu Nanli looked at her with approval.

"Our Yanyan really can handle things on her own now."

Yanyan’s cheeks were flushed, excited and nervousness occupying her mind.

Chu Nanli continued to give instructions.

"I will write you a prescription for preserving the fetus, take this prescription to the pharmacy and try not to let others see it. If asked, just say it’s for body regulation."

Yanyan quickly nodded, "Yes."

After speaking, she hurriedly went to fetch pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Chu Nanli wrote down the prescription and handed it to Yanyan, and after Yanyan left, she sighed silently.

Hopefully, keeping the pregnancy secret goes well.
