After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 112: Sad Joy
"Ugh... ugh..."
"What should I do?" Wangshu held the spittoon, his face looking very anxious, but he couldn't help at all and could only worry.
Fu Guang patted Zhu Qing'an's back gently, holding a cup of water in his hand, and his expression was not very good.
From this morning till now, Zhu Qing'an has vomited several times, and he vomited like this without eating anything. If he eats something and still vomits, they don't know what he will look like. It makes them feel uncomfortable just watching him.
"I'd better ask Miss Yang to come over. It's not a good idea for you to continue vomiting like this, Princess!" Fu Guang asked softly.
Zhu Qing'an had just vomited and felt that his chest felt better. He quickly rinsed his mouth with clean water and then washed his chest.
"Okay, just be careful and don't let anyone know!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.
In the past, when Yang Chaoyan took her pulse, she would wait until nightfall and quietly leave the palace, but now she was vomiting and had no choice.
Fu Guang nodded and hurried out. Zhu Qing'an then asked Wang Shu beside him, "Is there any news about Duan Sheng Hua?"
Although she couldn't go and look for the Duansheng Flower herself these days, she never forgot about it. Her aunt's health was also Zhu Qing'an's top priority.
"Young Master Shui has found a leader who has given the information he has found out to the prince! The prince has already sent people to continue the investigation!" Wangshu replied.
"Tell me any news as soon as possible!" Zhu Qing'an ordered. His aunt's health couldn't wait any longer. She needed to be detoxified as soon as possible so that she could be at ease. Otherwise, Zhu Qing'an would always feel uneasy.
"Don't worry, Princess! You should just have a few bites of breakfast. It's not a good idea to always skip it!" Wangshu advised.
"No, I don't have much appetite!" Zhu Qing'an waved her hands. She couldn't eat anything now. Not to mention eating, she felt nauseous even when she smelled something.
She had seen women suffering from morning sickness during pregnancy before, but since it had never happened to her, she had never taken it seriously. It turned out that pregnancy was such a difficult thing.
"The princess has hardly eaten anything decent these days. How can her body bear it if this continues?" Wangshu said with a frown.
"It's okay!" Zhu Qing'an was not so negative.
At this time, the maid came to report that Zhu Baiwei had arrived, and Zhu Qingan asked someone to come in quickly.
"Elder sister!" Zhu Baiwei came into the house carrying a lunch box. It was already early winter, and the weather was even cold in the morning and evening. Zhu Baiwei had already put on her winter cotton clothes.
"Why are you coming to me in such a cold weather?" Zhu Qing'an said angrily.
Zhu Baiwei took off the gloves on her hands and handed them to the maid. The charcoal fire had already been lit in Yongfu Courtyard, and it was warm as soon as she walked in.
"I heard that my elder sister has had a poor appetite these days. Auntie just cooked some lily porridge this morning. Please have a few mouthfuls!" Zhu Baiwei put down the lunch box and sat next to her elder sister.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Baiwei quickly leaned forward worriedly. "Eldest sister, are you feeling unwell? Why are your lips so pale? And you look so listless?"
"You look nervous, but it's just that you have a poor appetite. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble!" Zhu Qing'an explained with a chuckle.
Now that the power to manage the household has been handed over to Concubine Qu, some things in Yongfu Courtyard naturally cannot be hidden from Concubine Qu. Of course, Zhu Qing'an has no intention of hiding them.
"Has the doctor examined it?" Zhu Baiwei asked Wangshu.
"I've already called a doctor!"
Zhu Baiwei knew that she was not a doctor and could not help with some things. She opened the lunch box and found that the porridge inside was still hot, so she quickly scooped a bowl.
After all, it was prepared by Aunt Qu herself, and her stomach was indeed empty now, so Zhu Qing'an ate a few bites.
Wangshu felt relieved when he saw Zhu Qing'an take a few bites, but before Wangshu could smile, Zhu Qing'an trotted into the inner room and started vomiting.
"Eldest sister!" Zhu Baiwei hurriedly caught up with her and patted Zhu Qing'an's back, saying in a hurry, "Eldest sister's condition is so serious, why are you only seeing a doctor now?"
"Don't blame her. I know my own body is fine. It's okay!" Zhu Qing'an stood up weakly.
"Elder sister..." Zhu Baiwei wanted to say something, but Zhu Qingan waved her hand and refused to say more.
Zhu Baiwei could only swallow her worries and wait carefully by her side until Miss Yang arrived, and then she left Yongfuyuan.
"Miss Yang, please take a look at the princess quickly. She just vomited again!" Wangshu said anxiously.
Yang Chaoyan didn't even take off his cloak, and directly took Zhu Qing'an's pulse, carefully checking Zhu Qing'an's expression.
"It's hard for you. I'm afraid you have come all the way here!" Zhu Qing'an smiled with a pale face.
Yang Chaoyan and Zhu Qingan were already familiar with each other, and they had become close friends, so they spoke casually. "I'm thinking of you so much that I can't wait to come over!"
"Women's physical constitutions are different during pregnancy. Some have severe morning sickness, while others have no reaction at all. You have morning sickness, and while it's not serious, you still need to eat something! I can only prescribe some nourishing medicine, there's nothing else I can do!" Yang Chaoyan said, then tapped Zhu Qingan's abdomen with her finger. "This child, who knows how to torment you before he's even born, will definitely be a naughty child in the future!"
"As long as you are healthy, there's nothing wrong with being a little naughty!" Zhu Qing'an raised her lips and smiled, her smile full of maternal love and expectation.
"Yes!" Yang Chaoyan was also looking forward to it. "If it's a boy, I will let him carry my medicine box and teach him medical skills, so that he can protect himself in the future!"
"As the godmother, you will naturally teach her everything you know. What if it's a girl?" Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but feel curious.
"If it's a girl, I would first ask her if she wants to study medicine. If she does, I will naturally teach her. If she doesn't like it, I will also respect her opinion!"
"Why, boys' opinions don't matter?"
After Zhu Qing'an finished speaking, the two of them smiled at each other.
"How is your health lately, aunt?" Zhu Qing'an was lying on her side, and Yang Chaoyan was massaging Zhu Qing'an's acupoints to help relieve some of her discomfort and calm her mind.
"The Queen Mother is fine, but she is very busy! And I always hear her talking about you. When I go back today, she will definitely ask about your situation!" Yang Chaoyan said with a smile.
She did not tell the Empress Dowager that day that she seemed to have known everything, as she did not want to worry Zhu Qing'an. In her opinion, the aunt and niece both had good things in mind for each other.
"I miss my aunt too. I don't know when I can see her again!" Zhu Qing'an's voice was full of loss. She wanted to see her aunt, but she was afraid that the poison in her body would trigger her aunt's attack, so she could only control her temper.
"Now there is only one medicine left. I believe you will be able to reunite with the Queen Mother soon! And now the Queen Mother's body has been properly maintained. With my daily acupuncture to suppress the toxicity, you don't have to worry too much!" Yang Chaoyan comforted.
"Chaoyan, I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do!" Zhu Qing'an held Yang Chaoyan's hand with a grateful look.
"There's no need to be so distant between friends. I just did what a doctor should do. Even if that person was not the empress dowager or you, I would have tried my best! Moreover, I gained a lot! You see, I have my first confidant in my life! And as the empress dowager, I can learn so much! I should be the one thanking you!" Yang Chaoyan helped Zhu Qing'an up.
"Okay, I was wrong!" Zhu Qing'an said, Fu Guang handed over a box, and Zhu Qing'an took it and gave it to Yang Chaoyan.
Yang Chaoyan looked puzzled, but still took it.
"Since you are my confidant, then accept it!" Zhu Qing'an said mysteriously.
"Okay, then I'll accept it!" Yang Chaoyan opened it directly, but when she saw what was in the box, she still showed a look of surprise.
What was placed in the box was not money or jewelry, but a rare medicinal herb.
"This gift really touches my heart!" Yang Chaoyan closed the box and bowed slightly. If it was anything else, it would be fine, but this medicinal herb was exactly what she needed.
Zhu Qingan's gift touched her heart, and made Yang Chaoyan feel that they were a perfect match.
Yang Chaoyan told Zhu Qing'an some things he needed to pay attention to, wrote a prescription, put on his cloak and left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, in Qu Garden, Zhu Baiwei anxiously tugged at her aunt's sleeve, "Aunt, what should we do? My eldest sister seems to be seriously ill. How about telling father to ask him to send for the imperial physician?"
"Don't!" Aunt Qu grabbed her daughter's arm.
"Aunt?" Zhu Baiwei was puzzled, and her pretty face was covered with worry. "Aunt, why are you still hesitating at this time? Eldest sister's health is the most important!"
"Bai Wei!" Aunt Qu held her daughter's arm with such force that Zhu Baiwei even felt pain.
"The princess has her reasons for doing things. She must have already hired a doctor. If you make it public, it will probably cause trouble for her! Now is a turbulent time. There are so many eyes watching us in the Wen'an Marquis Mansion. We must not make a wrong move!" Aunt Qu said in a serious tone.
Zhu Baiwei was startled by her aunt. She seemed to understand what she said, but she still nodded to show that she understood.
"You said the princess is vomiting non-stop?"
"Yes, I don't know what happened. I just ate a few mouthfuls of lily porridge. I didn't get an upset stomach, did I?" Zhu Baiwei was puzzled.
"The weather has turned cold recently. I'm afraid the princess has caught a cold and has diarrhea!" said Aunt Qu.
Zhu Baiwei had no doubts and nodded in agreement, while Aunt Qu asked her daughter to go back first and she went directly to Yongfu Garden.
"My concubine greets the princess!" After paying her respects, Aunt Qu carefully examined Zhu Qing'an's expression and figure.
Even though her figure was still slender, Aunt Qu was a woman with children after all. Some things were obvious to her at a glance, and with her speculations, she became even more flustered.
"Why is my aunt here?" Zhu Qingan was lying on the chaise longue covered with white fur, looking a little listless.
"I came here because the weather has turned cold recently. I heard that many nobles went to the suburbs to take a hot spring bath. I think the princess can also go there for a few months! Take good care of yourself!" Aunt Qu smiled apologetically.
Zhu Qing'an rubbed his brows. Aunt Qu never asked about her affairs, so this sudden proposal seemed a little puzzling.
"No need!" Zhu Qing'an waved her hand. It was not appropriate for her to go anywhere at this time.
"Princess!" Aunt Qu suddenly leaned forward and lowered her voice, "I know a good gynecologist...Princess, please go!"
Aunt Qu's words suddenly brought Zhu Qing'an back to her senses. She looked at Aunt Qu, but only saw worry and heartache in her eyes.
Zhu Qing'an didn't expect that Aunt Qu would discover his secret, but considering Aunt Qu's caution and intelligence, it didn't seem surprising.
"I understand your good intentions, Auntie, but I won't go!" Zhu Qing'an refused. If she didn't want to keep the child, she would have drunk a bowl of pregnancy soup the first time she found out she was pregnant.
Zhu Qing'an's words made Aunt Qu's face turn pale.
She thought that Zhu Qing'an was pregnant out of helplessness, perhaps because she had painful memories, so Aunt Qu did not ask. The most important thing now was what to do with the child.
She never expected that Zhu Qing'an actually wanted to keep the child.
"Princess, have you thought about the consequences?" Aunt Qu regained her composure. She felt that Zhu Qing'an was still young and didn't know the seriousness of the matter. If this matter were known to others, Zhu Qing'an would be drowned in spit, even if she was Princess Yongfu.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I have considered everything that should be considered!" Zhu Qing'an was very calm.
Aunt Qu looked at Zhu Qing'an. At this moment, she didn't know whether she should admire Zhu Qing'an's fearlessness or laugh at Zhu Qing'an's fearlessness.
If she were to speak rationally, she should continue to persuade him, but when Aunt Qu looked at Zhu Qing'an's seemingly weak but actually firm eyes, she suddenly felt that her words of advice were ridiculous.
"Don't worry, Princess. I know what to say and what not to say!" Aunt Qu said, which also represented her attitude.
She was willing to respect Zhu Qing'an's decision and even help Zhu Qing'an.
"From now on, I will prepare the meals for the princess myself!" Aunt Qu said. Seeing that Zhu Qing'an wanted to refuse, Aunt Qu continued, "I have a lot of free time all day, and my cooking skills are good. I also know what the princess should eat at this time!"
Zhu Qing'an was originally a little afraid of troubling Aunt Qu, but seeing that Aunt Qu was persistent and that her cooking skills were indeed better than those of the cooks in the kitchen.
"Then I'll have to trouble you from now on!" Zhu Qing'an said.
"What are you talking about, Princess? I feel so lucky to be able to help you!" Aunt Qu said, and then asked cautiously, "But as for the Marquis, does the Princess intend to keep it a secret? After all, this pregnancy can't be hidden for much longer!"
This is also what Aunt Qu is most worried about. After all, it is not easy to hide a pregnancy that has lasted ten months.
"As for father, I will tell him in person when there is a suitable opportunity. Aunt has seen my condition now, so I need her to take more care of me!" Zhu Qing'an instructed.
"Don't worry, Princess. I understand everything!" Aunt Qu secretly made up her mind that since Zhu Qing'an wanted to keep the child, she would stand on the side of the princess even if she was disapproved by everyone.
After Aunt Qu left, Zhu Qing'an was already tired and wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but she didn't expect Bian Jingsheng to invite her.
She should have refused, but when she learned that Bian Jingsheng wanted to tell her about Duan Shenghua, she could only endure the physical fatigue and leave the house.
