I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Baoan Hall

The clinic was still very busy today, with a constant stream of patients coming to see the doctor. Luo Nianxi had no free time the entire morning.

At this time, seeing a patient coming to the front hall, Bai Lan hurriedly instructed Ah Dong:

"Adong, take that patient to Doctor Yao. Doctor Luo has seen too many patients today and is exhausted."

After responding, Adong quickly went to the door to greet someone, while Bai Lan raised her sleeves to cover her face and quickly walked behind the screen.

"Doctor Luo, it's noon, you should go back."

Luo Nianxi replied while writing the prescription.

"Not urgent."

Bai Lan came forward, lowered her voice, and whispered in her ear,

"Leng Yicheng's housekeeper is here. I asked Adong to take him to Doctor Yao. You'd better hide yourself and don't let him recognize you."

Leng Yicheng’s housekeeper?

"They have moved to the suburbs. Why would they come so far? Go and listen to who he is treating."

After Bai Lan agreed, she turned and walked towards Doctor Yao.

Luo Nianxi was packing her things while frowning and pondering.

After a while, Bai Lan came back quickly and whispered in her ear:

"He did not reveal his real name, only saying that a pregnant woman had abdominal pain and bleeding symptoms..."

Luo Nianqing?

She immediately thought of the pregnant woman.

She frowned, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a prescription and gave it to Bai Lan.

"Let Adong give it to Doctor Yao."

Bai Lan held the prescription in her hand, pouting and muttering,

"You are kind-hearted. That woman is not so kind to you."

"She is currently pregnant with an unstable fetus. If a doctor like me were to mix personal feelings into the treatment, that would be inappropriate. Go now!"

Bai Lan then sniffed and turned around to deliver the prescription.

At this time, Doctor Yao was hesitating about what kind of prescription to prescribe, when he saw Ah Dong handing him a prescription and whispering in his ear,

"It was prescribed by Doctor Luo..."

Yao Lang nodded in understanding, then copied a prescription written by Luo Nianxi and handed it to Ah Cai.

"Take the medicine according to the prescription and stop taking it when the symptoms improve. Don't take more than you need."

Ah Cai held the prescription in his hand and asked worriedly:

"Is it really okay to take this medicine? She's carrying a baby in her belly."

Doctor Yao raised his hand confidently.

"Don't worry, I'm a doctor, I can't cheat you, go get the medicine!"

Ah Cai then came to the counter doubtfully, took a few prescriptions according to the prescription, and turned around and left Bao'an Hall.

The reason why he went so far to get medicine was not only because he heard that Bao'antang Clinic had high medical skills, but most importantly, there was no consultation fee and the medicine cost was half the price of other places.

There is not much money available at home now, and as a steward, he has to be frugal.

At this moment, he saw a pastry shop in front of him. Thinking that Luo Nianqing loved to eat Yunpian cakes, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked in, spent his own money to buy her a few pieces of Yunpian cakes, and bought a few apples from a roadside stall.

They had moved to the outskirts of Chang'an City more than ten days ago. During these days, Leng Yicheng was in a daze all day long. Apart from sleeping and eating, he didn't want to do any work at all.

Although Xiao Suya also moved there, she returned to her parents' home the next day and never went back again.

Now in the whole house, besides Leng Yicheng and Luo Nianqing, there are only him and Bai He.

He originally wanted to leave, but when he thought that no one would take care of Luo Nianqing if he left, he decided to stay for the time being.

But he knew in his heart that he couldn't stay there for too long. He didn't have the time to waste, and he couldn't afford to waste it.

When he came back with the cloud cake, apples and medicinal herbs, Bai He came to greet him.

"Acai, you are finally back. Did you buy any medicine? The young lady has been complaining of stomachache."

Ah Cai handed her the medicine bag in his hand.

"Go to the kitchen and cook it. I'll go check on her."

Bai He hurriedly took the herbs and quickly ran to the kitchen.

This place is relatively quiet because it is located in the far suburbs of Chang'an City. However, the courtyard looks rather dilapidated.

Leng Yicheng has been staying in the house for several days without coming out. He only eats one meal a day and spends the rest of the time lying in bed sleeping.

Therefore, Acai went to Luo Nianqing's room and was free to come and go, and he had no intention of interfering.

When he came to Luo Nianqing with the bag, her eyes lit up immediately. She covered her stomach with one hand, rushed to him, snatched the bag of apples from his hand, opened it without saying anything, took out an apple, and started to bite it into big bites.

"Wait, I haven't washed it yet..."

Acai wanted to stop her, but seeing how voraciously she was eating, he couldn't bear to interrupt her. He just watched her eat and felt very sad.

After a while, after eating an apple, Luo Nianqing looked at Ah Cai awkwardly.

"I... haven't eaten for a few days, and the gluttony in my stomach is coming out."

Ah Cai smiled and shook his head.

"It's not your fault, it's the child who is greedy. Qing'er, listen to me and go back to your parents' home!"

Luo Nianqing hurriedly shook her head like a rattle.

"I won't reply."

"But what's the point of you going on like this? Haven't you seen what Leng Yicheng looks like now? He's like a living dead. What will happen if you follow him? The child might even starve to death before it's born..."

Luo Nianqing suddenly looked up at him.

"You want to go, don't you?"

Ah Cai was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

"Qing'er, I hope you understand me. I have old parents and young children to support. I can't stay here forever."

"You go!"

She raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth, and chuckled contemptuously.

"Go, you shouldn't have stayed. How my child and I survive is my business."

"But I'm worried, Qing'er, you either go back to your parents' home or come with me. In short, you can't stay here."

"Why not?"

Luo Nianqing turned around and looked at him with fiery eyes.

"This is my home, Leng Yicheng is my man, and I'm pregnant with his child, so why can't I stay here?"

"Qing'er, I know you said those words out of anger. This child is mine, and I will be responsible for you. I love you. I beg you, please come with me. Don't stay here any longer. There will be no way out."

When he said this, Bai He, who had just arrived at the door with the medicine, happened to hear it. She was so scared that she held her breath and dared not make a sound.

She never dared to imagine in her dreams that the baby in the young lady's belly would actually be Ah Cai's?

But she couldn't just stand there. To prove that she didn't hear them, she cleared her throat and called out loudly:

"Miss, the medicine is here..."

Hearing her voice, Ah Cai hurriedly distanced himself from Luo Nianqing. Bai He also seemed to know nothing. He put the tray on the table, picked up the medicine bowl, and came to Luo Nianqing.

"Miss, please take the medicine first!"

Luo Nianqing frowned and glanced at Acai, then took the bowl of medicine and drank it down in a few gulps.

The medicine was terribly bitter, but in order to save the baby in her belly, she didn't even blink.

Seeing her drink the medicine, Bai He tactfully took the empty medicine bowl and went out.

If it had been in the past, she would have been scared to death if she knew the news, but now she is not afraid anymore.

Ever since moving here, Leng Yicheng has not left the house, and it has always been Acai who has been taking care of the young lady. Even if the child is really Acai's, she, as a servant, should understand.

Seeing Bai He leave, Ah Cai sat next to Luo Nianqing, raised his hand to hold her in his arms, and comforted her softly:

"Qing'er, he can't even give you an apple now, so what's the point of you staying here? You are the only daughter of your parents. If you go back, they will not ignore you."

"Stop talking."
