Ji Mingzhao seemed to have inhaled something into his nose, making him feel a little dizzy.

He got out of bed, holding his head, but his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

Child... nothing must happen to his child.

This was Ji Mingzhao’s thought before he lost consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a person standing in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and pinched himself to make sure he was not dreaming.

When Gu Qingyuan got the news that Ji Mingzhao had fainted, she came over without thinking.

When she saw Ji Mingzhao who had lost consciousness, her heart was so scared that it almost jumped out of her chest.

Besides Gu Qingyuan, there were other people standing in the room. Ji Mingzhao wanted to sit up, but was held down by Gu Qingyuan. She asked Ji Mingzhao, "Don't you know you're pregnant?"

Ji Mingzhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He murmured, "Wife, how did you know?"

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, she realized that he had already known it but refused to tell her, and she felt a little angry.

She pinched Ji Mingzhao's face. His pitiful look of being in pain but not daring to say anything made Gu Qingyuan's heart soften. Ji Mingzhao's eyes were still wet.

"How would I know? If the servants hadn't heard the 'bang' today and came to check on you, only to find you had fainted, I would have quickly sent for a doctor, but the doctor would have said you were pregnant."

Gu Qingyuan spoke helplessly, looking at the doctor standing in the room and several servants from Zhuyuan.

"You also knew about this, but you didn't tell me?"

Ji Mingzhao grabbed Gu Qingyuan's arm and shook his head, saying, "If your wife wants to blame someone, blame me. It was me who told them to keep it a secret."

Gu Qingyuan loosened his grip on her arm one finger at a time and glared at him, "I'll settle the score with you later."

She walked to the doctor and said to him, "Tell me everything about Ji Mingzhao's health. Don't hide anything."

This doctor was the one Ji Mingzhao had asked to see when he was feeling unwell. Upon hearing Gu Qingyuan's words, he first glanced at Ji Mingzhao before speaking: "Luckily, we discovered it in time. He only inhaled a small amount of sandalwood and is fine now. If it had been any longer, I'm afraid the child would have been lost."

sandalwood?

Gu Qingyuan immediately frowned and asked, "Where did the sandalwood come from? Who brought it here?"

"Yes...it was sent by Lord Wen's servants."

How could it be Wen Shubai?

Gu Qingyuan returned to Ji Mingzhao and looked at his belly. "Did he really send the sandalwood? You knew you were pregnant, so why did you order it?"

"I... I didn't know sandalwood could have such an effect. Besides, Mr. Wen was kind enough to ask Yu Shui to send me mugwort and sandalwood powder, saying that they could repel mosquitoes."

Gu Qingyuan figured it out and felt a little annoyed.

It was she who suggested that Yu Shui find mugwort and sandalwood powder to light to repel mosquitoes, but she didn't expect that he would have someone send the things to Ji Mingzhao.

To be honest, she is the culprit!

She looked at Ji Mingzhao with an apologetic look and said, "This is all my fault. I went to Meiyuan last night and asked Yushui to find mugwort and sandalwood powder, but I accidentally asked Yushui to deliver the things to you."

Ji Mingzhao struggled to sit up, leaned against the headboard, and shook his head. "I don't blame my wife, nor do I blame Mr. Wen. It's all my fault. I should have told my wife that I was pregnant. I shouldn't have kept it from you."

As he spoke, tears already flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Gu Qingyuan wiped away his tears with her fingertips. Seeing that his face was red from crying, she took him into her arms and comforted him softly.

"Okay, stop crying. I don't blame you. I'm just a little angry that you don't take good care of yourself. Now that you're pregnant, you should put aside all the work you're doing, okay?"

Ji Mingzhao lay in her arms and nodded.

"I know you might just want to find something to do, but the most important thing for you right now is to take care of yourself. Only when you get enough rest can the baby in your belly be well."

When talking about children, Ji Mingzhao became much more obedient. His hands involuntarily rested on his belly, and his whole body exuded the radiance of fatherly love.

Gu Qingyuan suddenly thought of the last time she came to see him. No wonder he looked different from usual. It turned out that he was pregnant at that time.

She was angry that Ji Mingzhao had kept it from her, and even angrier that he hadn't taken good care of himself even when she was pregnant.

Where no one could see, Gu Qingyuan put her hand on his waist and twisted it gently.

His body stiffened, he bit his lower lip lightly, lowered his head, and knew that he was wrong.

Gu Qingyuan hugged him and said to the others, "Since everything is fine, you can go back first. By the way, doctor, can you prescribe some more medicine for him to nourish the fetus? Although he didn't inhale much, I am still worried."

The doctor said quickly, "I'll write a prescription for you right away, and then I'll have someone get the medicine."

Gu Qingyuan nodded, "Thank you for your help."

When everyone left and only Gu Qingyuan and Ji Mingzhao were left in the room, Gu Qingyuan lifted his chin and, to his surprise, forcefully kissed him on the lips.

Ji Mingzhao felt warmth on his lips. At this moment, her eyes were full of his figure, which made him feel very satisfied.

The kiss was brief, and Gu Qingyuan kissed him for a while before letting him go.

Even though there were ice cubes in the room to cool her down, she still felt a little hot.

The person in front of her was pregnant, and she felt a little regretful that she could only look at her but not eat her. However, Ji Mingzhao had been with her for so long that he could guess what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes.

Ji Mingzhao rubbed against her and said in a flattering manner: "Wife, there is actually another way."

"What method?" Gu Qingyuan looked confused.

He pointed to his mouth and said embarrassedly: "It seems that this can also be done, but I haven't tried it yet."

Gu Qingyuan was surprised. She didn't expect him to take the initiative to bring it up. She quickly said, "No need tonight. You just woke up. I'll look like a beast."

Ji Mingzhao curled his lips, shook his head, and said, "How could my wife be a beast? My wife is the brightest star in the sky. I will do anything my wife asks me to do."

Gu Qingyuan pulled his clothes on seriously and said, "Let's forget about it tonight. Let's talk about it after you give birth to the baby."

Ji Mingzhao said pitifully, "Could it be that my wife dislikes me and cannot have sex with you now?"

"Nothing!"

Gu Qingyuan rubbed his face and couldn't help but pecked him again, "Just have a good rest tonight, I'll be back soon."

Ji Mingzhao's heart tightened. Would she go find someone else if she returned? So he might as well keep her.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyuan exclaimed, because he got out of bed and knelt at her feet!

Gu Qingyuan wanted to help him up, but he shook his head and said firmly: "Let me serve my wife."

Just like the time when she came to see me for Chinese medicine.
