Lin Shuning immediately stood up and saluted: "Your servant greets the Crown Princess."

"Miss Lin, you are welcome," Pei Yan sat down beside her and placed the cake in her hand on the table in front of Lin Shuning. "Thank you for checking my body not long ago and bringing me the good news that I am pregnant. This peach blossom cake is made by me. If Miss Lin doesn't mind, please try it."

Her hand stroked her lower abdomen, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Thank you, Princess. I'll eat in a moment." Lin Shuning smiled.

It’s not that she didn’t want to eat, but she had already eaten a lot and her stomach was full. If she ate this sweet and greasy food again, she would probably vomit it out.

Pei Yan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of peach blossom pastry and put it in her mouth: "Then I won't be polite for now."

After saying this, Pei Yan's eyes turned inadvertently and met a pair of worried eyes like the dark night.

The owner of those eyes frowned the moment he met her gaze, and it was obvious that the person he was worried about was not her.

Pei Yan's heart tightened, she lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. Was she worried that she would harm Lin Shuning?

The clenched hand was clenched into a fist, Brother Wen...

Will she never have such worried and anxious eyes again in this life...

"Miss Third, I'm going back first." Pei Yan felt more and more sad. She didn't want to stay any longer, so she got up and left.

Lin Shuning was a little confused, but still politely bowed to her and said farewell.

Not long after Pei Yan left, the banquet came to an end.

Emperor Jingsheng bestowed rewards on the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion one by one. In addition to the gold, silver and treasures in the mansion and shops, he also promoted the official positions of his eldest son Yun Sheng and the second son Yun Yan, which was truly enviable.

But no matter how envious they were, no one was jealous.

The honor of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was earned through life and death, bloody battles, and hard work. If ordinary people want it, they have to consider whether they have the ability to do so.

As it was getting dark, everyone stood up, greeted each other and prepared to go out. At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd.

"Crown Princess, Crown Princess, what's wrong with you?! Blood, bleeding, this is bad, someone come quickly, the Crown Princess is bleeding!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Pei Yan was seen slumped in Mingzhu's arms, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and there was a glaring amount of blood under her body.

Jiang Hong, who was chatting with the minister, felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing backwards the moment he saw this.

He stumbled over, pushed Mingzhu away, hugged Pei Yan tightly in his arms, and touched her red skirt with trembling hands: "Yan'er, how are you? Why are you bleeding so much? Someone, please call the imperial physician, please call the imperial physician!"

Jiang Hong almost collapsed. He had already forgotten about today's banquet, which had invited almost all the powerful officials, including people from the Imperial Hospital.

Emperor Jingsheng looked at Pei Yan lying in a pool of blood with a frown in his eyes. He raised his hand and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and treat the Crown Princess!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The imperial doctors present immediately stepped forward and took turns feeling Pei Yan's pulse and giving her acupuncture, but they kept shaking their heads and sighing.

This look made the queen's heart even colder. She frowned and clenched her hands.

She knew how much the emperor was looking forward to this child. The birth of this child might completely consolidate Jiang Hong's position as the crown prince.

She had clearly warned Pei Yan to be extremely careful in taking care of the pregnancy, so why was she still so careless?

After all, he came from a humble family and was not worthy of being in public.

A hint of deep disgust flashed in the queen's eyes, but disgust was another matter. The most urgent task now was to keep the child at all costs.

She asked anxiously, "Where is the Third Miss of the Lin family? Didn't she save Madam Yun's child? Come quickly and treat the Crown Princess!"

Doctors have a kind heart, especially when it comes to matters concerning the royal heir.

Lin Shuning stepped forward without any hesitation, and placed his jade-like fingers on Pei Yan's slender wrist, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

Jiang Hong looked at her anxiously. Seeing that she was slow to speak, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He spoke in a trembling voice, "How is it?"

Lin Shuning looked up at his worried eyes and shook her head: "The Crown Princess's pregnancy is unstable and she has lost too much blood. I can only try my best to save her life. As for the child..."

She did not continue.

The Queen exclaimed, grabbed Lin Shuning's arm, and said excitedly: "What did you say? The child can't be saved?! What's the point of saving the adults if you can't save the child... I don't care, you think of another way, you must save this child no matter what!"

Lin Shuning frowned slightly.

Doctor Xiao stepped forward and advised earnestly, "Empress, judging from the Crown Princess's current condition, Miss Lin's medical skills are already excellent for being able to save her. Please let go quickly and don't delay the Crown Princess's treatment!"

The queen turned pale when she heard this, but she still held on tightly, unwillingly: "Unless she promises me that she can save my grandson! Madam Yun's child can be saved, why can't it be the case with the Crown Princess!"

Jiang Hong's lips trembled, and he looked at Pei Yan's pale face with deep eyes. He transformed his internal strength into energy and struck the queen's wrist with a palm.

The queen felt pain and subconsciously let go of Lin Shuning.

She covered her wrist and glared at Jiang Hong with disappointment.

I really don't know what kind of magic potion Pei Yan gave him to make him so obsessed. There has not been the slightest change even after four years of marriage.

Jiang Hong's eyes were full of bloodshot, filled with unrelieved pain; his dark pupils were like an impending tsunami.

He opened his mouth and uttered a few words: "It's good as long as the adults can be saved, it's good as long as the adults can be saved, there will be children again, there will be..."

Lin Shuning's eyes moved and he frowned secretly.

Looking at Jiang Hong's condition, he seemed to think that this was his first child. However, when she checked Pei Yan's pulse just now, she found that she had too much internal deficiency and accumulation, which was clearly caused by multiple miscarriages.

Could it be that Jiang Hong is unaware of this?

Lin Shuning's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

She took out a silver needle from the space, and deftly stopped the bleeding for Pei Yan. She then took out a pill and gave it to Pei Yan.

The combination of acupuncture and medicine showed results quickly, and the bleeding stopped soon.

Pei Yan slowly woke up from her coma. The first thing she said when she woke up was to ask in a panic, "Where's the child? How is my child?"

Emperor Jingsheng turned his head away, unable to bear to watch any longer, and everyone else remained silent.

Pei Yan pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and looked at Jiang Hong blankly: "Where is the child?"

Jiang Hong took a deep breath, held her hand tightly, and comforted her: "We will still have a child. I will pick you up and go back to the room to rest first."

"I'm not going!"

Pei Yan closed her eyes, leaving two lines of tears. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she looked at Lin Shuning with a sad look in her eyes: "Miss Lin San, you and I have never had any grudges. Why did you do that to my child... No matter what your reason is, the child is innocent..."
