Chapter 487: Pregnant

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Aunt Zhao knew that her body had been a little weak recently, but when she saw Su Ying’s expression, her heart began to race.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of death, but the two children were still so young. She was always worried that the other servants would have evil intentions and they wouldn’t take good care of them.

“Your Imperial Highness, is my body… going to die on me?”

Su Ying gave her an odd look. “Aunt Zhao, don’t think such strange thoughts. Your body is fine, but there’s some congestion in your chest. I’ll prescribe you some medicine to clear the blockage. Take it regularly for half a month. Don’t stop mid-way. After you finish the course, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”

She did notice that Aunt Zhao had some breast lumps, but it shouldn’t be serious. She would let her take some medicine first to see how her condition progressed. If there were still no changes, it wouldn’t be too late to perform surgery.

When she saw how Su Ying spoke so casually, Aunt Zhao didn’t think too much about it. “Yes, it’s good that I’m fine. This old servant still wants to live a few more years…”

“Aunt Zhao, looking at your body’s condition, it won’t be a problem for you to live for a few more decades.”

“Your Imperial Highness likes to tease me.”

Su Ying wrote a prescription for Aunt Zhao. It was better to take traditional medicine for this kind of treatment.

When Aunt Zhao took the prescription, Su Ying held her hand. “Aunt Zhao, relax. I’m back now.”

Aunt Zhao felt a lump in her throat and choked once. She didn’t care about etiquette and rules as she grabbed Su Ying’s hand and threw herself into her embrace. She then began crying. “Your Imperial Highness, it’s great that you’re fine. It’s truly great. I… I was really afraid… I refuse to allow anyone to say that you are not coming back. I was also afraid that the Young Princess and the First Prince wouldn’t be able to take it if they heard such things… To be able to see Your Imperial Highness again, I’m… really very happy…”

Su Ying hugged her gently and soothed her back. She knew that during this period of time when there was no news of her, all of them had been feeling very awful. “Yes. It is indeed a happy occasion.”

After crying for a while and releasing all the pent-up emotions in her heart, Aunt Zhao finally felt that the heavy burden in her chest had been lifted.

“I… I forgot the rules. Look, I have even made Your Imperial Highness’s robe wet with my tears.”

“It’ll dry up in the sun. It’s not a problem. Where’s Lin Zhuyu? I’m already back, yet I have not seen her coming out to welcome me?”

Aunt Zhao’s eyes became evasive for a moment when she heard this. “She’s fine. It’s just that she’s married after all. When Your Imperial Highness wasn’t in the palace, I told her to leave the palace and wait for new work scope to be a.s.signed.”

Su Ying saw the look on Aunt Zhao’s face and felt that things were definitely not that simple.

“Aunt Zhao, don’t lie to me.”

Aunt Zhao raised her head to look at Su Ying’s solemn expression and sighed. “Your Imperial Highness, that girl was careless. She didn’t even know she was pregnant a while ago and almost lost the child. Lord Jiang made a request for the Imperial Physician to take a look at her. He said that she must stay in bed and not go anywhere.”

So Lin Zhuyu was pregnant.

Su Ying was a little surprised, but more than that, she felt happy for her.

“She is outside the palace now?”

“Yes. I was worried that she would let her imagination run wild in the palace and told her to leave the palace to recuperate.”

While the two of them were talking, they heard a commotion outside in the courtyard.

“Gosh! What kind of lunacy are you up to? Why did you dash into the palace? If anything happens to your body, Her Imperial Highness will definitely beat you up.”

It was the sound of Bai Shuang scolding someone in anger.

Su Ying walked out of the hall and saw Bai Shuang frowning and stomping her feet as she tried to stop someone. This person was Lin Zhuyu, who should be resting in bed.

If Bai Shuang and Aunt Zhao had lost a lot of weight because they were worried about Su Ying, then in comparison, Lin Zhuyu’s entire face had sunken in as if her life force had been sucked dry by a monster. She was not fat, to begin with, so now, she was practically as thin as a piece of paper.

Su Ying frowned so hard that her foreword formed the Roman numeral III.

“Lin Zhuyu, what madness is this?”

When Lin Zhuyu suddenly heard Su Ying’s voice, she raised her head to look at the latter in joyous surprise.

“Your Imperial Highness… It really is you, Your Imperial Highness!”

Lin Zhuyu’s small face crumpled at once and tears rolled down.

She looked really ugly when she cried, but Su Ying also felt very bad seeing her like this. “Let’s go into the hall first.”

Bai Shuang and Aunt Zhao supported Lin Zhuyu on either side and helped her into the inner hall. Su Ying made her sit on the soft couch.

“Stop crying. I’m not dead yet.”

Lin Zhuyu choked and stopped crying at once. “Your Imperial Highness, don’t say such unlucky things.”

Bai Shuang went to bring some hot water for Lin Zhuyu to wipe her face. “Your husband went through so much trouble to get the Imperial Physician to treat you. He told you to stay in the house and take care of your pregnancy. Why are you running around outside?”

Lin Zhuyu looked at Su Ying eagerly. “I… I heard that Your Imperial Highness had returned. If I can’t come and see for myself, I… I won’t be able to sleep and eat in peace.”

“To see what? To see whether I am still a human or have turned into a ghost?” Su Ying sat down beside Lin Zhuyu and gestured for her to extend her hand.

Lin Zhuyu obediently did as she was told.

Su Ying could tell that her condition wasn’t too good, so she had to give her a good check-up.

Judging from the pulse, the fetus was very unstable, which might have something to do with the weakness of the mother’s body.

“Since you are already pregnant, you have to take good care of your unborn child. Don’t think so much.”

Lin Zhuyu choked back tears as she said, “I miss Your Imperial Highness… sob, sob, sob!”

Su Ying instructed Bai Shuang to bring a bowl of bird’s nest porridge from the Imperial kitchen. Looking at Lin Zhuyu’s appearance, she had probably lost more than 20 pounds.

“Didn’t I come back safely?” When she saw how pitifully frail Lin Zhuyu looked, Su Ying could only soften her voice and comfort her.

“Your servant… your servant…”

“You are now Jiang Yang’s wife, the wife of an official. You shouldn’t address yourself as ‘servant’.”

Lin Zhuyu pouted stubbornly.

Su Ying gripped her arm. She felt that she didn’t even need to use any strength to break her arm.

“Now that I see that Your Imperial Highness is fine, I… I am relieved.”

“Aren’t I alive and well?”

Bai Shuang walked in with a bowl of bird’s nest porridge. Su Ying pa.s.sed the bowl of bird’s nest porridge to Lin Zhuyu. “You’re too thin. This isn’t good for you and your unborn child. The child isn’t very stable yet. I’ll give you some medicine when you go back later. Remember to take your meals on time.”

“Yes, yes.” Lin Zhuyu took the bowl obediently, but she could not help covering her mouth and began retching when she smelled the food aroma.

Bai Shuang quickly brought the spittoon over.

Su Ying’s brows knitted together as she watched her.

Lin Zhuyu vomited for a while before she felt better.

“Have you always experienced this ever since you got pregnant?”

Lin Zhuyu nodded with red-rimmed eyes. “Yes. I can’t smell anything. Otherwise, I’ll feel nauseated.”

Early-stage morning sickness was normal, but vomiting so badly required medical intervention. Otherwise, both the adult and unborn child would be affected.

Su Ying told Lin Zhuyu to stay in the palace for the next few days so that she could keep the latter close at hand for medical treatment. It wouldn’t be too late for her to leave the palace after the fetus had completely stabilized.

Lin Zhuyu naturally had no objections. Su Ying had the final say in the Imperial harem’s quarters, so no one could say anything about it if this matter did not spread.

Su Ying told Bai Shuang to tidy up a room in the back for Lin Zhuyu to stay alone. She then told Lin Zhuyu to lie down on the bed immediately. After Lin Zhuyu fell asleep, Su Ying took out a nutrient syringe and some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy from her interspatial store and injected them into her..
