Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

Yan Xuanye withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at the Shangjing City behind him.

He took out an apricot-pink handkerchief from the lapel of his shirt and looked at the handkerchief in his hand with a vague look.

He recalled the moment when he snatched the handkerchief from her hand that day. Su Qingci took out the handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his lips fiercely, and said that he was disgusting.

He couldn't help but chuckle. He thought she was probably the only one in the world who hated him so much.

For some reason, an inexplicable pain quietly spread in my heart.

He subconsciously pressed his hand against his chest, trying to relieve the discomfort, but no matter how hard he tried, the stinging sensation still followed him.

"Shi Zhuo, have you finished everything I asked you to do?" Yan Xuanye asked through the curtains.

His voice came through the curtains, with a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Everything you ordered has been properly arranged. Now you just need to wait patiently." Shi Zhuo replied respectfully.

Yan Xuanye let out a sigh of relief, then leaned against the back wall of the carriage, silently watching the curtains blown by the wind.

At this moment, for the first time in his life, he felt that time was passing so slowly, as if every second was a torture.

……

When Su Qingci learned that Yan Xuanye had left Shangjing City, she felt much more at ease and felt that she had returned to her previous comfortable life.

Lu Huan would accompany her back to visit Liu Jingru once a week, and as they had said before their marriage, he had been secretly sending people to protect Liu Jingru's safety.

In fact, Liu Jingru secretly told Su Qingci that now that Su Songqi had a dozen concubines in his backyard, Wang Miaoqing no longer had the time or energy to fight with her.

The housekeeper power returned to Liu Jingru, and Wang Miaoqing's three sons were now able to hold official positions in the capital, thanks to Lu Huan's father Lu Guang.

She didn't dare to offend Liu Jingru, for fear that if Liu Jingru was unhappy, Su Qingci would whisper in Lu Huan's ear and make her son lose the job he had worked so hard to get.

So even though Wang Miaoqing lost her power as housekeeper, she did not dare to make a scene. She just competed with the new concubines for Su Songqi's favor every day.

……

Su Qingci still did not obediently drink the contraceptive pills prepared by Lu Huan. She thought she would be able to get pregnant soon, but she did not expect to have her period nearly ten days later.

She looked at her soiled panties, feeling somewhat powerless and her complexion not looking very good.

"Madam, are you having your period?"

Xiao He: "I will fetch some water and get you some clean clothes. Please wait a moment."

Xiao He quickly prepared hot water and a change of clothes. Su Qingci waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

"Yes, I will go out and make a bowl of warming uterus soup for Madam to replenish blood and qi."

After saying that, Xiao He closed the door and went out.

Su Qingci did not take a bath. Instead, she washed her body carefully, put on a menstrual belt, and changed into new clothes.

Su Qingci seemed to be a little troubled by the fact that she was not pregnant yet.

The last time Lu Huan accompanied her back home, Liu Jingru specifically asked her about this matter. After learning that she was not pregnant, she told her that she must find a way to get pregnant as soon as possible, otherwise the Lu family would definitely complain in a few months.

This was always the case for women in ancient times. If a woman was not pregnant after about half a year of marriage, the female elders in her husband's family would start to ask about it.

And now, she has been married into the Lu family for more than three months, and she is still not pregnant. There are only three months left before the six-month deadline.

Su Qingci was leaning on the chaise longue when Xiao He pushed the door open and came in. She placed the uterus-warming soup on the small table in front of Su Qingci and reminded her softly, "Madam, the uterus-warming soup is ready. Drink it as soon as possible."

Su Qingci took the uterus warming soup, and with her slender fingers holding the spoon, she slowly stirred the astragalus, ginseng and other ingredients.

"Xiao He, is the general back?"

"Not yet. In the afternoon, Liu Jian, who was with the general, came back and told me that the general went to a colleague's house to drink."

Su Qingci put down the uterus-warming soup and said to her very seriously, "Xiao He, go to the clinic and buy something for me."

"If someone asks you, just say you're not feeling well so you need to buy some medicine."

Xiao He: "Yes, Madam, what do you want to buy?"

"Go find Master Ji from Wujun Lane. He specializes in treating women's internal diseases. Ask him to prescribe a good pregnancy-preserving medicine."

"No matter the price, as long as it works. And the sooner the better!" Su Qingci instructed.

Xiao He was puzzled: "Doesn't the general order people to cook pregnancy medicine for Madam every day? Why do we have to go out to buy medicine?"

"Don't worry about it, just go."

"Yes, I will go now."

Seeing Xiao He about to go out, Su Qingci suddenly called her, "Xiao He!"

Xiao He turned around and said, "Anything else, ma'am?"

Su Qingci looked gloomy, "Forget it, you don't have to go."

let it go.

she thinks.

Lu Huan didn't want her to get pregnant because he was afraid that she would be in danger when he was not around.

She wanted to get pregnant because she didn't want him to have a bad reputation or be talked about by others.

Taking the pregnancy medicine secretly was a bit too deliberate. If she didn't take the pregnancy medicine or the contraceptive pill and could still get pregnant normally, then this child was destined to come to her and Lu Huan without any human intervention.

She wanted to see if, if she let nature take its course, she could get her wish and have a child of their own.

Xiao He thought she was anxious to have a child, so she comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. It would be bad if the pregnancy medicine you bought outside conflicts with the medicine the general gave you."

"You and the general are both healthy people. You will have children sooner or later. There is no need to rush."

Su Qingci smiled and said, "That's true."

Su Qingci drank the warming uterus soup that replenished blood and qi, then handed the medicine bowl back to her and instructed, "Have someone light some lights in the corridor where the general will pass by when he returns, so that the general can see clearly on his way back."

"I understand. I'll go right away."

……

Su Qingci went to bed early at night because she had her period and had some menstrual pain.

But when she woke up in the morning, Lu Huan had already set out for court.

Su Qingci looked at the place beside him in confusion, and used his hand to feel the temperature there. It was cold.

If the place beside him wasn't a little messy, as if he had slept, Su Qingci would really think that he had never come back.

"Xiao He, when did the general come back last night?"

"To answer Madam, the general returned at 15:00 last night."

Su Qingci frowned: "Social engagements till so late?"

Xiao He: "Yes, after the general returned home, he heard that Madam had her menstrual period and had lower abdominal pain, so he ordered Sister Zitan to call the doctor back to see Madam after she woke up in the morning."

"It's just the pain in my lower abdomen caused by my period. It happens every month. Why do I need to call the doctor back?"

Xiao He smiled and said, "This shows that the general is really good to the lady and takes everything to heart."

Su Qingci smiled and said nothing more, but a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
