Chapter 1172 Not an Illness

“Father and Mother, your unfilial son Qi Heng has come with your daughter-in-law Lin Yuesha to visit you and your relatives.”

Qi Heng knelt down first, and Lin Yuesha knelt beside him. The couple knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times.

After getting up, the two burned paper money and poured themselves a cup of wine.

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, this is my cooking. I don't know if it suits your taste."

In his notes, Lord Qi wrote that he loved eating dumplings, so his wife would wash her hands and cook, often making dumplings at home.

Lord Qi loves the Mid-Autumn Festival the most. Every year he looks forward to this day so that he can taste the mooncakes made by Lady Qi.

The two eagerly awaited the arrival of their newborn, but Qi Heng arrived while they were gone.

Standing before the tomb, Lin Yuesha had many things she wanted to say, but for a moment she couldn't say them, and could only bow again.

“Husband, I’m sure you and your parents have a lot to talk about, so I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”

Lin Yuesha greeted Qi Heng and tactfully gave up the space.

With no one around, Qi Heng felt at ease and spoke his mind.

In this life, he will be like his father, devoted to one person for life, marrying only one wife and never separating.

"Father, Mother, the task of carrying on the Qi family line is entrusted to Qi Lu. Your son does not want Yue Sha to suffer too much pain during childbirth."

Thinking back to the time when his mother was cut open, a life for a life, Qi Heng had a phobia of childbirth.

He didn't even want to have children, but he had asked the female doctor Yan, who said that the contraceptive soup was harmful to women.

"Yue Sha is very good; she is the only person my son likes."

Over the years, he has met countless women, but apart from Lin Yuesha, he has never been moved by anyone. If Lin Yuesha had not appeared, he thought he would most likely have lived a lonely life. Heaven has been kind to him.

"Father and Mother, how wonderful it would be if you were still alive, with more people to love and cherish Yue Sha. But you are gone, so your son can only treat Yue Sha even better, carrying on your legacy as well."

Many times, Qi Heng felt lost; he didn't even know what to give Lin Yuesha.

When he was lost, he remembered to keep his promise, at least to give her the only one.

Qi Heng knelt before the tomb, whispering his innermost thoughts. Meanwhile, Lin Yuesha lay pale-faced on the carriage.

"Miss, shall we head back first?"

Qingxing hurriedly poured water, her hands trembling back and forth, causing the teacup to sway and spill half of the tea.

Qi'er wanted to take it, but found that her hands were trembling.

"I'm fine."

Lin Yuesha waved her hand. She had just stepped back because she felt a sudden dizziness and her vision went black.

If Qingxing hadn't helped her in time, Lin Yuesha would definitely have fainted next to the tomb.

Today is the Ghost Festival, a time to pay respects to ancestors. Qi Heng is seeking revenge for his family and wants to give his ancestors an explanation. Lin Yuesha shouldn't spoil the mood at this time.

Fortunately, she held back.

"It might be low blood sugar caused by anemia. I remember my dad gave me some nut brittle when I was little."

Lin Yuesha's voice was weak. She took a small sip of tea and recovered slightly.

Qingxing quickly opened the small table and took out a small box from it.

Lin Yuesha ate some nut brittle and dried fruit, which helped her calm down a bit.

Actually, she has been experiencing some health issues lately, but she attributes it to anemia and has been deliberately ignoring it.

She brushes her teeth morning and night, even with a soft-bristled brush, but her gums still bleed. She also has small red spots on her arms, which look like bleeding points from a blood disorder.

"Miss, you shouldn't delay any longer; you should see a doctor as soon as possible."

If left untreated, a minor illness can develop into a major one, making it even more difficult to treat.

Recently, Dr. Yan was appointed to a position at the Imperial Hospital, and Qingxing plans to ask Dr. Yan to examine her daughter.

"Okay, but you must keep it a secret from your husband."

Lin Yuesha was unaware of her own situation and instinctively chose to conceal it.

"This servant will follow your instructions."

Qingxing understood her young mistress's concerns and immediately agreed. If the master found out, it would cause a huge commotion.

On the Ghost Festival, after paying respects to the ancestors of the Qi family, the group went to the moat of the capital to release river lanterns to pray for blessings.

"My lord, you are busy with official duties, you should return to the palace first."

Lin Yuesha felt unwell and was the first to chase Qi Heng away; all she wanted to do now was lie down.

"Very well, I'll return home to keep you company two hours later."

Seeing that his wife looked unwell, Qi Heng assumed she was thinking about Hongtao and Chen Dahua again, and quickly offered a few words of comfort.

No matter how busy he is tonight, he will come back.

Seeing Qi Heng leave, Lin Yuesha could no longer hold on and lay down on the carriage.

Qi'er sent someone to inquire and learned that Doctor Yan was in the mansion, so she hurriedly went to invite her.

About half an hour later, Doctor Yan arrived in a hurry with her medicine kit. Upon seeing her, she frowned and said, "Sister Yue Sha, why didn't you say you weren't feeling well sooner?"

"You've been working day and night lately, only sleeping for an hour each day while preparing medicinal herbs. How could I possibly disturb you any longer?"

Yan Yan had dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well for a long time. Today, she finally had some free time, but she was bothered by Yan Yan again.

Lin Yuesha felt a little guilty, but her discomfort was getting stronger and stronger, so she had no choice but to trouble Yan Yan.

"What are you saying?"

Yan Yan shook her head repeatedly. Putting aside Lin Yuesha's status and the fact that the two were not on equal footing as ruler and subject, even in their private relationship, if Lin Yuesha felt uncomfortable, she should have informed her first.

Yan Yan boarded the carriage and carefully took Lin Yuesha's pulse.

"Dr. Yan..."

Just as Qingxing was about to describe her young mistress's symptoms, Yan Yan raised her hand to interrupt her, saying that she needed a very quiet environment to take her pulse.

Seeing Yan Yan's increasingly serious expression, Qingxing and Qi'er dared not speak. The two clenched their fists, their palms sweating with nervousness.

After a long while, Yan Yan finally let go.

"Sister Yan, do I have an incurable disease?"

Lin Yuesha made a joke on purpose to lighten the atmosphere, but in reality, she was also very nervous.

"Moonlight Sister, it's been two months since you last had your period, hasn't it?"

Yan Yan wasn't in the mood for jokes and asked.

"Yes, my young lady lost a lot of blood before and her complexion was not good. She has been taking the pills you made."

Qingxing answered first, summarizing the herbal soups she had been drinking recently.

She and Qi'er personally purchased and prepared the herbal medicine; it didn't pass through the hands of anyone else.

Besides, the young lady is protected by the Golden Silkworm, so she won't be poisoned.

"When did I say she was poisoned? Your young lady's pulse is strange; she's not poisoned."

Dr. Yan shook her head, wondering to herself how someone could be so muddle-headed.

"If it's not poisoning, what illness could it be?"

Lin Yuesha humbly sought advice, believing that the right medicine was the best treatment; otherwise, she would be listless and unable to do anything all day.

It's not an illness.

Yan Yan said, both amused and exasperated, "Sister Yue Sha, you're at least a month pregnant. Don't you even realize you haven't had your period yet?"

"Pregnant?"

Lin Yuesha was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't had her period last month, so she hadn't considered the possibility of being pregnant.
