Chapter 72

Hearing the words "maybe miscarriage", Xie Yiran's heart sank. She couldn't help but think of the tragic loss of her child two years ago. The color on her face gradually faded and she felt a chill in her heart.

Thinking of this, she recalled the previous times she had sought medical advice. Didn’t they all say that she would not get pregnant again? How come she was pregnant again?

She looked up at Su Yun, pondered for a moment, and finally could not suppress her doubts. She asked Doctor Fu, "But I had a miscarriage before, and the doctor and several other doctors said that I can't have children again. How can I be pregnant now?"

When Su Yun heard this, her pupils shrank slightly. She finally understood why the Grand Concubine was so determined that she could not be pregnant.

Doctor Fu said, "Perhaps the imperial concubine's pulse was indeed like that at the time, but things are not absolute, there will always be accidents. But considering the imperial concubine's physical condition, it was not easy for her to have this child. If there is another accident, I am afraid it will be really difficult for her to get pregnant again."

Xie Yiran looked down at his abdomen, his expression of disbelief turning into deep thought.

She had invited the imperial physician to her house a month ago, even though he made a mistake that time. But the second time the imperial physician came to check her pulse was the day before yesterday, and he still did not diagnose a pregnancy.

Is it because the disease cannot be diagnosed, or is it deliberately concealed?

She's almost three months pregnant. How could a royal physician who is highly regarded by my mother-in-law fail to diagnose the condition?

And that prescription.

How many scary and dirty things are there here?

It was clearly a hot autumn and summer, but Xie Yiran felt like he was in an ice cave, with a chill all over his body.

Su Yun knew that the eldest imperial concubine was in a mess, but she still secretly breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "Princess, don't think too much for now. It's better to listen to what Doctor Fu says about how to take care of the fetus."

Xie Yiran came back to his senses, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of thick fog, and he looked up at Su Yun.

Su Yun persuaded again in a gentle voice: "We can discuss other matters later."

Xie Yiran took a few breaths and calmed down. He came back to his senses from all those miscellaneous worries and looked at Doctor Fu.

"I was worried that the Five Elements Grass I took before might have caused irreparable harm." As she said this, she handed the prescription given by Su Yun to Doctor Fu.

Doctor Fu read the prescription and was shocked. He vaguely knew that there was something dirty in it, but it was not his business. He just said hurriedly: "If you are pregnant, remember not to take the Five Elements Herb. Please let me check your pulse again carefully."

Xie Yiran placed his hand on the armrest on the table.

Doctor Fu checked her pulse again, and after a while he said, "There are signs of miscarriage, which may be due to the Five Elements Herb. If she takes two more doses of this decoction, she may not be able to recover."

Xie Yiran's face, which was already pale, became even paler.

"You must stop taking this medicine immediately, and then you need to stay in bed for a month. You must maintain a good diet and a good mood. I will prescribe a prescription for the pregnancy. Take the medicine once a day for seven consecutive days, and then take it every other day."

Xie Yiran nodded slightly: "Thank you for troubling Doctor Fu."

Su Yun asked Chu Yi to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Doctor Fu wrote down the prescription and gave it to the imperial concubine after it had dried a little.

The imperial concubine took a look at it and then gave it to the maid beside her.

Before leaving, Doctor Fu looked at Su Yun and said, "If there is anything, the wife of the prince can send someone to tell her."

Imperial Physician Fu's words were not addressed to the Grand Concubine, and he spoke very cautiously, implying that he did not dare to get too close to the Grand Palace.

Everyone has his or her own stance, but if the superiors give orders, that is another matter. If not, there should not be too close contact.

Xie Yiran was a reasonable person and did not make things difficult for him. He stood up and nodded slightly to Doctor Fu: "Thank you for your help, Doctor Fu."

Su Yun asked someone to send Doctor Fu away.

Only Su Yun, Xie Yiran, and her trusted maid were left in the hall.

After a moment of silence, Su Yun's eyes fell on the prescription and he cursed in a low voice: "Concubine Chen is really vicious."

Xie Yiran bit her lips secretly, with hidden anger in her eyes.

If that woman wasn't vicious, how could she have such thoughts?

She wanted to make her miscarry without her knowing anything. But the imperial physician was carefully trained by her mother-in-law, and it was definitely not something that Concubine Chen could easily bribe. What did this mean?

What roles do the mother-in-law and husband play in this?

Xie Yiran didn't dare to think about it anymore, as the thought made him feel chilled to the bone.

He secretly adjusted his emotions, suppressed the chill and anger, and then raised his head to thank Su Yun: "Today is all thanks to Madam Gu. If it weren't for what Madam Gu did today, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark. Today's facts are really hard to digest for the time being. When I recover one day, I will come to thank you again."

Su Yun hurriedly said, "The most important thing for the imperial concubine right now is to take good care of her body. It would be too formal to thank you or not."

"Madam Gu, please don't tell anyone about what happened today."

Su Yun said truthfully: "I have promised my mother-in-law to explain the situation. I wonder if I can explain it to her?"

Xie Yiran nodded: "I believe the people in the Marquis' Mansion, but I won't tell anyone."

Seeing that the Grand Concubine's brows were full of fatigue, Su Yun did not keep her any longer. Instead, he had someone prepare two pillows and put them on the Grand Concubine's carriage, and then personally sent her out.

After seeing the person off, Su Yun turned and went to her mother-in-law's yard.

Xie Yiran came out of Gu's house and took the carriage to the clinic.

He took the baby's pulse again and confirmed that it was a pregnancy pulse. He then took out the prescription written by Doctor Fu and, after verifying that it was indeed a pregnancy-maintaining medicine, he asked the doctor to take a few doses of the medicine.

It’s not that Xie Yiran doesn’t trust her, but she is really scared that the imperial physician in the palace has been treating her for five years and yet he can do such a heartless thing.

After confirming it again, the maid beside her whispered, "Princess, that Madam Gu is truly a living Bodhisattva."

Xie Yiran nodded slightly: "Madam Gu is someone worth making friends with."

She owed Madam Gu a great favor, a favor that could not be measured by gold or silver, and she was filled with gratitude towards Madam Gu.

I took the medicine back home, and after a while, the previous medicine was also boiled and delivered.

She dismissed everyone except her personal maid, then picked up the medicine, turned around expressionlessly, walked to the window sill, and sprinkled the medicine on the grass outside.

She looked at the empty bowl and ordered, "From now on, when you boil medicine, replace all the previous medicines with the ones I got at the clinic today."

At the end of his words, he instructed: "During this period of time, if His Highness comes over, tell him that I am not feeling well and ask him to go to the West Garden."

She was extremely fed up with his behavior of coming to her place whenever he had a quarrel with that man from Xiyuan.

She needed to slowly get her body back into shape, and then gather her strength to settle accounts with them.

As for the child before, she thought it was because she was not paying attention, but when she thought about it carefully, it was probably very scary.

Anyone who harmed her child must never be forgiven!

In the evening, Su Yun sat behind the window with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't notice Gu Shixing entering the room.

Gu Shixing walked over with a thin shirt on and put it on her. Only then did she come to her senses suddenly, turned her head slightly, and met his clear eyes.

"It's autumn now, and the nights are chilly, so put on an extra layer of clothing."

Su Yun pulled the coat on her shoulders and said, "I met with the Grand Concubine today and told my mother what we discussed yesterday."

"What did mother say?" he asked.

Su Yun said: "Mother didn't blame me for meddling in other people's business. She just told me to be careful and not to be used as a target by Concubine De."

Gu Shixing smiled and said, "Mother is worried about you."

Su Yun nodded: "I understand, but I feel sad that the man the Grand Concubine married was not a good man. Her husband dotes on his concubine, and the concubine is so arrogant that she dares to harm her. Her mother-in-law... not to mention, she is surrounded by calculations on all sides. If she was not firm, she would have been hysterical long ago."

Those who have been in dangerous situations can best understand the feelings of those who are in the same dangerous situation. She can understand the despair of the Grand Princess.

Gu Shixing said: "Now that the Grand Concubine knows the truth, you don't have to think too much about it. Now just think more about me."

Su Yun heard this and looked at him.

She was also anxious and upset because of the matter of the Grand Concubine. She was in a very bad mood and really needed to use other things to forget these bad emotions.

She thought for a moment, then stood on tiptoe, put her arms around his neck, and pressed her red lips against his.

Gu Shixing was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with surprise.

——This was the first time that Ayun took the initiative while he was awake.

Both unexpected and surprising.

Su Yuncai gently pried open his lips, but he immediately took the initiative and rolled up the tip of his tongue, making the root of her tongue numb.

He wrapped his strong arms around her waist, pushed her back two steps, and pressed her against the window.

The windows were open, but no one was allowed to enter the courtyard outside at night unless someone was cleaning it during the day.

Despite this, Su Yun's body was still tense.

However, Su Yun has already adapted to being close to Gu Shixing. It's not that they have deep feelings for each other, but because of Gu Shixing's promiscuous behavior over the past period of time, she has gone from being a person who would blush at a light kiss to now being able to actively kiss him.

Su Yun no longer resisted getting close to him. He was different from the previous Gu Shixing who only knew how to rush around recklessly. Now he would always make her happy physically and mentally before satisfying himself.

Gu Shixing moved away a little, and not only their lips were glowing, but even their silver hair was shining.

Before Su Yun could come to his senses, he bent his knees slightly and bent down.

In autumn and summer, clothes are only one or two thin layers and get wet quickly.

Su Yun leaned against the windowsill, her upper body slightly leaning outward, moaning unconsciously.

The cool breeze brought her back to a clear mind. She realized where she was and hurriedly pushed him, "Don't, don't stay here. Go back to the couch."

Then an inarticulate voice came: "We have to eat later. It would be bad if the bed is soiled."

It's not good, but it can't happen here, right?!

*

During dinner, Gu Shixing picked up a lot of dishes and put them into her bowl. When the servants saw this, they all smiled softly, thinking that the lady and the prince had a really good relationship.

But when Su Yun looked at the dishes he brought, he felt bitter.

While the two were fooling around in front of the window, a servant came to say that dinner was ready.

Under Su Yun's repeated urging, Gu Shixing had no choice but to finish the task hastily.

While adjusting her breathing, Gu Shixing whispered something in her ear - asking her to eat more for dinner.

This made her blush.

How come this person, whose mind used to be filled with books of sages, now has so many dirty thoughts?

There was another piece of food in the bowl. Su Yun raised her eyes and glared at him gently.

Because she had just escaped from the lovemaking not long ago, there was still a faint afterglow in the corners of Su Yun's eyes. This glance in Gu Shixing's eyes was full of infinite charm.

The long fingers holding the bamboo chopsticks trembled slightly, and his heart was moved. He couldn't wait to discuss academic matters with her.

After dinner, the two were about to take a walk in the courtyard when Mo Tai happened to come in and say he had something to report.

Gu Shixing then went to the study.

After entering the study, Mo Tai closed the door and looked at the seated prince, saying, "We received news from spies that Prince Ding Huai arrived in Jindu before nightfall, and not many people know about this."

Gu Shixing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Where are we going to stay?"

"Stay at Yuanbao Inn."

Gu Shixing nodded and asked, "Where is Chen Minglang?"

Mo Tai said: "According to the orders of the prince, I bribed his friends and now let him indulge in the gentle world every day."

"Send someone to Qiao Zhuangcheng as a commoner, mention Chen Minglang to the inn, and say..."

Gu Shixing thought for a moment before continuing, "Let's say that Young Master Chen was good friends with Prince Dinghuai before. When Prince Dinghuai was imprisoned, he was also beaten up. They thought they were good friends, but unexpectedly, Prince Dinghuai was still in confinement. After he recovered from his injuries, he did not ask about his friend's situation, but was out having fun. They were really good friends."

"Furthermore, it was my intention to imply that Chen Minglang was beaten before. Then let the people of Qiaozhuangcheng explain in detail that it was because Chen Minglang told Liang Yong about the beauty of the Su family's daughter, so he was beaten." At the end of his words, he added: "Remember to tell where Chen Minglang is now, and then tell those people who are in cahoots with Chen Minglang to get Chen Minglang drunk, and then get him to tell you something when you receive instructions."

Mo Tai vaguely understood the purpose of his own prince. This was definitely a way to divert trouble away!

If Prince Dinghuai comes to Jindu, he might really get involved with the Marquis Zhongyi's Mansion. Now the Crown Prince has done this, and all the blame has been directed from Chen Minglang to the Crown Prince.

The so-called trick was nothing more than to extract from Chen Minglang who had instigated Liang Yong. Who else could that person be other than the eldest prince?

If Prince Dinghuai heard these words, wouldn't all the criticism be directed at the eldest prince?

Wonderful!

When Mo Tai looked at the prince again, his eyes lit up and were full of admiration.

Seeing Mo Tai's silly look, Gu Shixing said indifferently, "Why don't you do it quickly?"

Mo Tai responded and turned to leave the study.

After the people left, Gu Shixing thought about the things that he had not enjoyed before the meal, and then thought about the matter of Prince Dinghuai. He sighed lightly. He still had to wait for news tonight, and his plans were disrupted.

His eyes fell on a corner of the picture book sticking out from the edge of the rice paper on the table, and he sighed again.

He had originally wanted to coax Ayun tonight, let her watch and practice with him, but now it seems that he can only wait until tomorrow night.
