Chapter 671: Something Wrong With Her Body
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Su Ying glanced at Zhou Qing, who was standing at the side. She must have told Xiao Jin about her dizzy spell in the pavilion. Xiao Jin was worried that this was caused by her pregnancy.
“The Imperial Physician has already come to check me. He has said that my body is fine. You don’t have to worry. Moreover, the child is already more than four months old. It has already taken shape. Do you think you can just abandon it just like that?”
“If his presence is going to harm you, then I don’t want him!” This time, Xiao
Jin’s words were exceptionally firm.
Su Ying couldn’t help feeling puzzled. No one knew better than her how happy
Xiao Jin was when he found out that she was pregnant. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was as happy as a fool.
She had only suffered a sudden bout of dizziness and he was already thinking of giving up on this child without hesitation? How was he so sure that her discomfort was caused by the child?
“I’m fine.”
Xiao Jin pursed his lips. In the end, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
“Eat more if you’re hungry.”
Su Ying’s appetite wasn’t bad, so she ate quite a bit during this meal.
After eating her fill and sitting for a while, Xiao Jin supported her to take a stroll along the corridor.
“Did the Imperial Physician say something to you?” Su Ying asked suddenly.
Xiao Jin’s expression froze slightly. He did not answer her directly. He only said, “The Imperial Physician said that your body has some Qi stagnation. As the fetus grows bigger, this situation will worsen. Over time, it will damage your body.”
“So you’re worried that I’ll be affected and want to give up this child?”
Su Ying stopped in her tracks. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were impassive
as they met Xiao Jin’s eyes.
Xiao Jin gazed at her and answered solemnly, “No matter who it is, I will never allow him to do anything to harm you. As far as I’m concerned, you are the
most important.”
Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin’s reaction was a little too extreme. She had also checked her own body and found that there was no major problem. She could only hold Xiao Jin’s hand and comfort him. “There will be some slight discomfort during pregnancy. This is normal. Don’t worry. I will be careful.”
“Yingying…”
“Xiao Jin, he’s our child. I won’t allow anyone to hurt him wantonly.”
Xiao Jin was silent. He did not want to hurt his child either, but…
When he saw that Su Ying didn’t want to talk about this anymore, Xiao Jin didn’t continue the topic. After accompanying her to walk two laps, he escorted her back to the inner hall.
“Are you tired? Do you want to sleep a little longer?
Su Ying had already slept and wasn’t sleepy, so she told Xiao Jin to go and do his own work thing while she called Zhou Qing in to accompany her.
“If Her Imperial Highness is feeling unwell, send someone to tell me immediately,” Xiao Jin instructed Zhou Qing as he walked out of the hall.
Zhou Qing nodded solemnly. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Zhou Qing, come in and play chess with me.” Su Ying’s voice rang out from the inner hall. Zhou Qing curtsied to Xiao Jin before turning around to enter the inner hall.
Xiao Jin watched the curtain being lowered in the inner hall, and the worry on his face intensified.
When Zhou Qing entered the inner hall, Su Ying had already set up the chessboard. “Come, let’s play two games.”
Su Ying didn’t know how to play Go, but she knew how to play Gomoku. When she was bored, she would get Zhou Qing to play with her.
“Your Imperial Highness, the First Prince and the Princess don’t have to go to school tomorrow. They said they want to make mini sticky rice balls with sweet wine with Your Imperial Highness.”
Su Ying paused momentarily. “Is it the 15th tomorrow?
“Yes, it is.”
Su Ying slowly put down the white stone piece in her hand. If she remembered correctly, it was the 11th when she fainted. How could it be the 14th when she woke up after a nap?
“Zhou Qing, how long have I been asleep?”
Panic flashed across Zhou Qing’s eyes as she suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. “Your Imperial Highness, you didn’t sleep for long…” “Three days isn’t long? Zhou Qing, what are you hiding from me?” No wonder she was so hungry when she woke up. She had actually been unconscious for three days!
Zhou Qing immediately got up and knelt in front of Su Ying. “Please forgive me, Your Imperial Highness. I… I dare not hide anything from you. After you fell unconscious, His Majesty immediately summoned the Imperial Physician to examine you. However, I… I do not know what the Imperial Physician said to His Majesty.”
After Su Ying fell asleep that day, Zhou Qing continued to stand guard in the inner hall as usual.
However, she did not expect Su Ying to sleep until the afternoon without waking up. This was rare even during her first trimester, not to mention that she had been in much better spirits this month and so rarely slept for so long.
Zhou Qing was a little worried so she tried to wake Su Ying up. However, no matter how she shook her, Su Ying didn’t respond. She panicked and immediately sent someone to pass a message to Xiao Jin. She then quickly called for the Imperial Physician.
Almost all of the most authoritative Imperial Physicians in the Imperial
Academy of Medicine came. When they finally came to a conclusion, the dean of the Imperial Academy of Medicine reported in a low voice to Xiao Jin. Zhou Qing did not know what he said specifically. She only knew that after hearing the dean’s words, the Emperor sat motionlessly in front of the Empress’s bed and only came out when the sky was completely dark.
Zhou Qing had been standing guard outside the door. She had never seen the Emperor look like that before. There was conflict and sorrow but above all, there was worry.
She wanted to ask what was wrong with the Empress, but the Emperor did not take the initiative to speak. She realized that things were not so straightforward and did not dare to ask wantonly.
After that, apart from the morning court session, the Emperor was almost always by the Empress’s side. The Imperial Physician would also come over every day to perform acupuncture on the Empress. He did not give the Empress any medicine at all, probably because he was worried that it might affect the fetus. This lasted until today when the Empress woke up.
Su Ying’s expression darkened after listening to Zhou Qing. Could it be that she really didn’t realize that something was wrong with her body?
She knew that Xiao Jin definitely didn’t tell her the truth. How could a mere Qi stagnation make him so worried?
“Enough. Get up. I’m not blaming you.”
Zhou Qing stood up with red-rimmed eyes. Indeed, she was worried. She was worried that there was something wrong with Su Ying’s body.
Now, Su Ying was no longer in the mood to play chess. She tossed the Go stones into the basket and stood up.
Zhou Qing immediately went forward to support her.
“I haven’t bathed after sleeping for a few days. Get someone to prepare hot water. I need to wash up properly.”
“Yes, your servant will get someone to prepare it now.
Zhou Qing helped Su Ying to the soft couch to sit down before excusing herself. After the hot water was ready, Su Ying ordered everyone to leave the bathroom. Zhou Qing was a little worried. “Your Imperial Highness, why don’t I wait behind the screen? If Your Imperial Highness makes any movements, I can hear you immediately.”
Su Ying was planning to take the opportunity to enter the interspatial store to check on her body, so how could she allow Zhou Qing to be present?
“There’s no need. It’s the same if you wait outside the door. I am fine.”
Zhou Qing had no choice but to back away until she was outside the door when Su Ying insisted.
However, she did not dare to close the door as she was worried that she would not be able to hear the movements inside.
After confirming that Zhou Qing had left, Su Ying entered her interspatial store.
Initially, she did not want to do a comprehensive examination. After all, she was a pregnant woman and some instruments could harm the fetus. However, judging from Xiao Jin’s reaction, she felt that her problem was not small. She still had to find out in detail.
After a round of examination, Su Ying quietly waited for the test results.
Many of the indicators seemed to be in line with what a pregnant woman should show, but there was one indicator that was not quite normal..
