Nanny Qi had long heard of Gu Wanyi's eccentric behavior.
She had thought she might be rejected outright.
But Jiang Xian didn't. She mused, "I am always willing to hear the opinions of my subordinates. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to convince me."
Nanny Qi was momentarily speechless.
It was common sense that a pregnant woman shouldn't run. If the concubines who wished Gu Wanyi harm saw this, they'd probably laugh, thinking they wouldn't have to lift a finger—the baby would miscarry on its own. "A woman with child should be more prudent," she finally said.
Jiang Xian replied thoughtfully,
"Since I'm carrying for two, I need to double my exercise."
