"Madam, did you save me? Where is my husband?"

Only when the needle marks on the back of her hand stopped bleeding did Su Luo release her hand.

"He's outside the door. Your prolonged vomiting has led to dehydration and shock."

Mo Sang gently raised her hand and glanced at the bandage Su Luo had placed on the back of her hand, assuming it was just a bandage or something similar.

Hearing that her husband was right outside the door, she finally felt at ease.

"Madam, if you feel unwell while riding in the carriage, stop and rest. Don't push yourself too hard."

Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the baby in your belly.

Su Luo didn't want to pry into other people's situations; she was just offering a friendly reminder.

Mo Sang was overjoyed; she…

Is she pregnant?

"Young lady, are you saying that I have a child in my belly, that I... I'm pregnant?"

"Judging from the pulse, it is indeed the pulse of someone who has been pregnant for more than a month."

Overjoyed, Mo Sang held Su Luo's hand and laughed through her tears.

"Does my...my husband...he know?"

Su Luo nodded, "I only found out when I brought you to this inn."

"I'm pregnant, that's wonderful!"

Mo Sang was overjoyed. He and Fu Zhengqing were betrothed since childhood, and their relationship had always been very good after marriage.

She wanted to have a child for her husband as soon as possible, but her body showed no signs of pregnancy.

She received a letter from her family saying that they had invited a renowned doctor to their home and asked her to go back to her family home to take a look.

Lucheng is far from Anchangzhou, and if she weren't in a hurry, she wouldn't have dared to delay her journey.

Mo Sang's voice sounded like a mix of laughter and tears, so Su Luo could only open the door and let Fu Zhengqing and the others in.

The door creaked open, and Ah Xu and Qiu Yue stepped aside.

Fu Zhengqing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Madam, has my wife woken up?"

"She's awake. Have someone prepare a bowl of salt water and have your wife drink it slowly."

Su Luo didn't give her much electrolyte solution; to help her quickly replenish her fluids, she needed to drink some more salt water.

"Go quickly, go find the postmaster and ask him for some salt and boiled water."

"Yes, sir!" A maid turned and went downstairs.

Su Luo stepped aside to let Fu Zhengqing go in to see his wife.

Seeing that Nangong Qing and the others were still outside the door, he said.

"You guys go and rest, it's nothing serious."

The two of them set off in the middle of the night and arrived here, and they still haven't gone to sleep; both of their eyes are bloodshot.

"Luo Luo, do you know who's inside?"

Nangong Qing pointed at Fu Zhengqing, who had just entered, with her fan.

"have no idea!"

"That man is the prefect of Lucheng, and he has been on good terms with the Mo family, a scholarly family in Anchangzhou, for generations."

To maintain their friendship, the two families arranged a marriage between them before they were even born.

"You saved his wife tonight. A good talk with her will be beneficial for your future development in Lucheng."

"Okay, I understand. You can go back to your rooms now. We'll be going into the city together tomorrow."

"Okay, Luo Luo, you should get some rest too!"

"Um!"

After watching the two enter the room, Su Luo went in to see Fu Zhengqing and his wife.

"Madam, you're awake. Are you feeling any better?"

Fu Zhengqing wiped away Mo Sang's tears and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I'm much better, sir, we have a child."

"I know, I know. You must take good care of yourself, and our child too."

"Um!"

Seeing Su Luo come in, Mo Sang awkwardly pushed Fu Zhengqing away.

Fu Zhengqing gave Mo Sang two pillows to lean against the headboard before turning to Su Luo.

"Madam, thank you for saving my wife. May I ask your name, young lady?"

"His surname is Su, and his given name is Luo."

"So it's Madam Su. You saved my wife and child. How much is the consultation fee? I'll have my servant bring it to you."

Su Luo didn't come in about the consultation fee; she had something more important to ask Fu Zhengqing.

"Lord Fu, may I ask where you bought that bottle of herbal oil?"

Fu Zhengqing thought Su Luo also wanted to buy it, so he advised her, "Madam Su, I bought that herbal oil in the town two towns ahead of me."

My wife gets carsick, and I heard that herbal oil can help relieve carsickness, so I went to buy some.

But to my surprise, it had absolutely no effect. I advise you not to buy it.

The town two towns away, which means it's not far from Anchangzhou, actually has fake herbal oil.

Once Su Luo finishes her business in Anchangzhou, she must go and find out what's going on.

"Lord Fu, the reason why Baicao Oil has such a good reputation is because people who have used it recommend it to others."

The bottle you bought for your wife is fake.

"Fake?"

How could a high-ranking prefect like him buy fake medicine as soon as he went out?

"Lady Su, how do you know that the bottle in my hand is fake medicine?"

"It's common for others to resell these from Ji'an Tang at a higher price, but how can you be so sure that what I bought is counterfeit medicine?"

Su Luo took out a bottle of genuine herbal oil.

The porcelain bottle was not the same shape as the one that Fu Zhengqing had thrown away.

"Lord Fu, this is the real Ji'antang Herbal Oil."

The one you bought has a different packaging, and even the smell is only similar.

Moreover, I smelled a faint trace of low-quality musk inside. Although it was very little and faint, I believe you all know how harmful musk is to women, especially pregnant women.

Fortunately, you didn't use much, and your wife was also dehydrated from motion sickness. If there had been even a little more musk in it, you wouldn't have been able to save the baby.

Upon hearing this, Mo Sang quickly wiped his temples with his sleeve, trying to remove the fake herbal oil from the areas where it had been applied.

Her child absolutely cannot be harmed; she had finally managed to conceive this child.

Fu Zhengqing was also quite frightened and quickly asked the maid to fetch water to wash Mo Sang clean.

Musk is expensive, but it can neutralize the scent of herbs, and only a small amount is needed.

This can cause a qualitative change in the aroma of herbs, in order to make the taste similar to that of herbal oil.

The person who makes counterfeit medicine must have put a lot of thought into it; they must understand pharmacology and be quite extraordinary.

"Lady Su, I didn't know that herbal oil was so harmful."

Fu Zhengqing felt extremely guilty, as he had almost caused the death of his wife and children.

"Fake medicine is very harmful. It is not herbal oil. Herbal oil is harmless to the human body and can be used by pregnant women."

Its effects are indeed as rumored: relieving headaches, refreshing the mind, and also alleviating motion sickness.

"Lady Su, how did you know that the herbal oil has these effects?"

Mo Sang turned to Su Luo and asked if it was safe for pregnant women to use and could also relieve motion sickness, which would be very helpful for her journey home.

However, after using the fake medicine this time, she developed a psychological trauma and dared not use it indiscriminately again.

“Lord Fu, Madam, I am so certain because I made the herbal oil.”

Mo Sang was on the verge of death just now, and Su Luo managed to save her from the brink of death.

The two of them had a strange sense of trust in Su Luo.

"Madam Su, did you really make this bottle of herbal oil? Wasn't it supposed to be from Ji'an Hall?"
