I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 516

Chapter 516

Mu Mingtang shook his head and said, “I got it. I’ll let go of what was said today, but you should never mention it again in the future. Relay my order and have the people of the residence behave properly and not start rumours or unlawful discussions about the royal court in the future. If anyone is known to commit such a mistake again, I will not let them go so easily.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

With Mu Mingtang’s rare tone of seriousness and her solemn expression, the servants were scared into obedience and did not dare to say anything else. They spreaded out the room to handle their responsibilities before the servant Mu Mingtang brought along from the palace saw her getting up and rushed to a.s.sist her, “Your Highness, Taoist Priest Li has instructed you to take slow walks and exercise lightly. Can this humble servant a.s.sist Your Highness in walking around the room?”

Mu Mingtang nodded, “Okay.”

She was pregnant now, so that meant she had to start taking care of the growing child in her body. Ultimately, it meant that she should stop thinking too hard about things she couldn’t control. Fortunately, her morning sickness had not been too severe, so she still had a fairly good appet.i.te.

Now there she was alone in the entire residence, she had to make sure that she remained careful at all times.

After Mu Mingtang told off the servants that day, the atmosphere in the residence stabilised for the next few days. One morning, the Taoist Priest came to check up on her and nodded, “The foetus’s pulse is solid, so you can stop taking that medication. After all, medication is technically a form of a drug, so what you can do next is to make sure the food you eat is nothing if not nutritious.”

Mu Mingtang didn’t doubt his words for a second. Sure, the Taoist Priest didn’t really look the part, but his medical skills were very reliable. Mu Mingtang was very fortunate that they had brought him along when the royal couple left the capital.

Otherwise, where was she going to find a doctor in the middle of this chaos after getting pregnant all of a sudden?

Mu Mingtang was very satisfied with the Taoist Priest as much as said man being happy with his current lifestyle. He followed his new owner’s family all along, no longer needing to face the battering weather or the intense travelling when it came to treating his patients from all sorts of locations. His food and accommodation were all included in his pay and there were even hefty bonuses during certain festivities. All it took was a few pulse readings per month and the rest of his time was left for him to do as he pleased.

Living like this every day without going through any excruciating hardship was really beautiful.

Mu Mingtang quickly asked her servant to take a brush and some paper. The Little Taoist wrote down a few food supplements and noted which should be paid extra attention to. These were originally the tasks that were handled by the servants, but Mu Mingtang was also beside them, listening attentively to the important points of what he was saying.

“Your Highness is mainly alright now. It would do good to avoid spicy foods and those that have a lot of salt. Meditation is encouraged along with living in a calm environment. You can use black chicken soup to warm her up. It requires poria, donkey hide gelatin, ginseng and chicken to be stewed together, supplemented by atractylodes, peony(1)… “
