The two had collaborated for years and had developed a tacit understanding.
Liu Mianmian rose and spoke: "Many thanks to Royal Grandmother and everyone for your favor, but truth be told, this matter of pregnancy—I have never dared to truly confirm it!"
One reason for Liu Mianmian's unease was the fact that she had gotten her period just a few days ago and had seen blood.
This time her cycle was delayed by a few days, but it had come nonetheless.
