She Rebuilt Her Fallen Country With Storage Space-Chapter 147: Make it Clear, Who is Pregnant?
Chapter 147: Chapter 147: Make it Clear, Who is Pregnant?
The rain wasn’t heavy, but it drizzled continuously without stopping.
After having porridge with meat, the Exile Team quickly packed up and set off.
The hillside was wide, yet occasionally rainwater would flow down, making the cart wheels slippery and the horses’ progress difficult.
Jie Chen was prepared ahead of time; he ordered people to spread some straw grass at the front.
This way, the wheels rolling over it could move more easily.
The three little ones sat on the wooden cart, where Xiang Ying had previously installed a rain canopy, which just came into use now.
Even with harsh weather, Xiang Ying couldn’t delay their education.
Thus, Supervisor Chu was also on the wooden cart.
He read a sentence, and the children followed suit.
Xiang Ying, holding an umbrella, walked beside the wooden cart, when suddenly, she slipped on the straw grass.
Qi Fengyi, quick-eyed and deft-handed, steadied her.
"Elder Princess, what’s wrong? You’ve seemed uncomfortable since this morning."
Tao Xue also came over to support Xiang Ying’s left arm: "Yes, otherwise, let’s send Supervisor Chu back, and Elder Princess can rest in the cart."
Xiang Ying shook her head: "No need, I’m not that delicate."
She just felt stomach pain more frequently.
Earlier, Xiang Ying had drunk two energy supplements in her space, and she shouldn’t be feeling uncomfortable so quickly in theory.
Two hours later, when it was noon, the rain stopped, but the weather was still gloomy.
Dark clouds hung over everyone’s heads, appearing particularly oppressive.
Sweat formed on Xiang Ying’s forehead.
She thought about finding an opportunity later to lie down and give herself an acupuncture treatment.
However, Jie Chen issued an order up front, worried about heavy rain, so he urged the team to continue marching.
They would not stop for lunch.
The Exiled Criminals, already exhausted, were drenched by the rain and chilled to the bone by the cold breeze.
Regarding Jie Chen’s decision, they harbored grievances but dared not speak out.
Supervisor Ke patrolled to where Xiang Qianqian and her mother were, and noticing Qianqian drenched, he directly handed her a straw raincoat.
Lady gratefully took it: "Thank you, Supervisor."
Qianqian watched eagerly as Lady put it on herself.
Supervisor Ke frowned: "Why are you taking your own daughter’s?"
Qianqian hurriedly explained: "Don’t be upset, Supervisor Ke. My mother is frail, let her wear it, thank you for your kindness."
With everyone around watching, Supervisor Ke said nothing more and walked away.
Xiang Ying persisted for another half an hour, but the abdominal pain persisted, even intensifying.
She momentarily ruled out many possible illnesses in her mind.
Water Worm Disease? A tumor? Cancer?
It’s frustrating that the upgrade of her space wasn’t fast enough, and her medical room hadn’t fully equipped yet.
Lu Feiyi, seeing Xiang Ying staggering, walked over to talk to her.
However, as he just started speaking, Xiang Ying’s legs went weak, and she uncontrollably fell forward!
Lu Feiyi gasped in surprise and quickly grabbed her.
The three little ones immediately jumped down from the wooden cart: "Mother! Mother, what’s wrong!"
Jie Chen, walking in front, heard the commotion behind.
He glanced sideways and asked coldly, "What happened?"
Skinny Monkey quickly ran over: "Deputy General, it’s bad, sister-in-law has collapsed!"
Jie Chen’s eyes flickered and he immediately ordered: "Halt and set up camp, call the Military Doctor to the front!"
Xiang Ying didn’t really faint, but the pain left her limbs weak.
She was aware that she was being carried horizontally by Lu Feiyi, surrounded by anxious and worried voices.
Until Jie Chen’s voice came: "Bring her to the tent."
The next moment, she was in the tent, with fires set up around.
Xiang Ying bent over, lying on her side, her body slightly curled.
Jie Chen saw her face pale to the extreme, her lips also devoid of color.
He bent over, touched her hand, and rubbed vigorously to warm her.
Jie Chen turned his head and saw Lu Feiyi standing beside, watching her with furrowed brows and a concerned look.
"Don’t just stand there, go get the blankets from my bag."
Lu Feiyi turned and left.
Xiang Ying regained a bit of her strength and grasped Jie Chen’s hand.
Seeing her as if she had something to say, Jie Chen leaned in, "What do you want to say?"
Xiang Ying gasped rapidly: "Now... is a good opportunity..."
Upon hearing her, Jie Chen immediately understood.
"Lure the snake out of its hole?"
Xiang Ying nodded, "Just say I can’t make it, and that I have handed everything over to you."
Jie Chen felt his heart skip a beat, waves stirring deep in his eyes.
"Tell me the truth, where exactly do you feel unwell?"
He had already decided in his heart, if Xiang Ying still couldn’t get relief soon, then he would take her down the mountain to find a doctor in the city.
After all, the two military doctors had limited skills, and Xiang Ying was always capable but she had fallen ill first.
Xiang Ying shook her head, biting her lower lip enduring the dragging pain in her abdomen.
"I can’t really describe it, it just hurts, my stomach hurts."
At that moment, the Military Doctor was brought over by Skinny Monkey.
"Deputy General, the Military Doctor is here!"
"Come and take her pulse quickly."
The Military Doctor reached out to pulse her, but he couldn’t find anything either.
Xiang Ying was in so much pain that she closed her eyes and couldn’t speak anymore. freewёbnoνel.com
Lu Feiyi brought two quilts and covered her up, her face still terribly pale.
Jie Chen dragged the Military Doctor outside the tent: "What exactly is wrong with her?"
Feeling the pressure of Jie Chen’s gaze, the Military Doctor broke out in a cold sweat.
"This..." He dared not say.
Jie Chen frowned, "Speak! Otherwise, you’ll be treated as a rebel!"
The Military Doctor was startled, that would cost him his life!
"Deputy General, this female criminal’s pulse is unusual, is there any other reaction?"
Jie Chen contemplated, "She only said her stomach hurts, nothing else."
Hearing this, the Military Doctor boldly made his guess.
"May I boldly ask the Deputy General a question, does the Deputy General know when this female criminal last... uh... had intercourse?"
Upon hearing this, Jie Chen’s scalp jumped suddenly.
What did the Military Doctor mean by that?
"Are you suggesting she is pregnant?"
"It’s not impossible, but my capabilities are truly limited."
Mainly because he had always been with the military and had never treated women before!
Xiang Ying’s pulse was occasionally sluggish and slippery, it felt more like a blockage.
Like she was pregnant, but also not.
The Think Tank never expected that his careless remark would cause such a stir in Jie Chen’s heart.
Could it be that time before she was exiled?
Jie Chen returned to the tent, his eyes complexly fixed on the unconscious Xiang Ying.
Supervisor Ke, along with the other two Supervisors and the team leader, were there; they all noticed Jie Chen’s grave expression.
"You all go out first, don’t disturb her rest."
With Jie Chen’s order, everyone went out one after another.
The three youngsters were anxious outside, following Tao Xue and Qi Fengyi, they wanted to inquire about Xiang Ying’s condition.
"What’s wrong with our elder Princess in the end?"
Skinny Monkey waved his hand at them: "She’s asleep; maybe she will get better soon, the Military Doctor didn’t say what the problem is."
Nobody talked out of turn until Xiang Qianqian found Supervisor Ke.
"What illness does my elder sister have?"
Supervisor Ke gestured: "Who knows, it looks bad, the Deputy General looks grave, and the two Military Doctors are tight-lipped, possibly... it’s some emergency."
He walked away, but Xiang Qianqian was still immersed in joy and couldn’t snap out of it.
Xiang Ying has an emergency? That’s just great!
On Bogui Mountain, a sudden illness means only one outcome: death!
All along this trip, she couldn’t outdo Xiang Ying, but now she could finally feel a sense of triumph.
