The Empress Dowager Is Pregnant, and This Fake Eunuch Can No Longer Hide

Chen Zhao transmigrated into the lowest-ranking eunuch in the Empress Dowager’s palace.

The good news: he hadn’t been castrated.

The bad news: he had to undergo a checkup on the first day of every month, and could be exposed at any moment.

He planned to keep his head down and use his modern medical skills to earn a living. Who would have thought that his first treatment would cure the Empress Dowager’s chronic illness and make him her trusted confidant?

When she summoned him late at night, he thought she was going to reward him.

In the flickering candlelight, the Empress Dowager took his hand. “I have been widowed for ten years…”

Chen Zhao: Wait, this isn’t how the story is supposed to go!

A few months later, the Empress Dowager was with child.

The news rocked the imperial court. The emperor had no children, yet the Empress Dowager was pregnant with what was believed to be the late emperor’s heir. Everyone was watching her belly.

What was even worse was that the child she carried was his!

The emperor sent imperial physicians to examine her, court officials submitted impeachment memorials, and the prime minister launched a secret investigation. Chen Zhao’s identity could be exposed at any moment.

But what gave Chen Zhao an even bigger headache was the Empress Dowager taking his hand and saying, “I want to have another one.”
