Qiao You was willing to talk, which relieved Su Shu's worries. As long as he was willing to communicate, everything else could be dealt with later.

Qiao You was willing to talk more about Helian Jue.

The bowl of mushroom noodles on the table was cooling down, making it perfect for eating.

"Sweetie, want to try Mommy's cooking?" Su Shu steered the conversation toward food.

Qiao You had no appetite and felt a bit down, with an indescribable discomfort, but looking at Su Shu's expression, she couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay, thank you, Mom." Qiao You took the bowl of mushroom noodles and took a bite under Su Shu's expectant gaze.

That mouthful of noodles seemed to be stuck in Qiao You's throat, impossible to swallow.

“He’s no worse than Jue’er, is he? I taught him all his cooking skills.” Su Shu said with a smile, “These days, not many young people in the interstellar world know how to cook for themselves.”

"Although there are housekeeping robots, they just don't have that human touch."

Qiao You's expression was somewhat indescribable; he could only nod slightly in agreement with Su Shu's statement.

A large bowl of mushroom noodles was emptied by the flick of chopsticks, with about half gone.

Qiao You, who had forced himself to eat the noodles, was really done for.

"Mom, I'm full," Qiao You whispered to Su Shu. He didn't want to eat anymore.

Seeing that Qiao You had at least eaten a few bites, Su Shu stopped pressuring him and let him eat a little to fill his stomach.

"Has Mom eaten?" Qiao You picked up a plush pillow from the sofa and placed it discreetly in front of her chest, gently pressing her stomach with one hand.

Upon receiving Helian Jue's message, Su Shu came directly from her bedchamber, without even having time to eat.

So the maids set the food on the table and served Su Shu her dinner.

"Sweetie, want to eat a little more with Mommy?" Su Shu asked.

Qiao You immediately shook his head, his face pale, and refused, saying, "I'm not hungry."

Su Shu didn't insist any further and had the maid bring out some fresh fruit and snacks.

Qiao You remained leaning against the corner of the sofa, watching the two little mermaids jumping around on the TV, a thin layer of sweat slowly seeping from his forehead.

My stomach was churning, and the pain in my abdomen was getting worse.

Qiao You was afraid of pain. Back at home, whenever he bumped or bruised himself, he would whine to his mother and use the pain as an excuse to get his father and mother to grant his requests.

Here, his older brother would indulge him in everything, and if he felt even slightly uncomfortable, he would hug and comfort him.

But he's feeling so bad right now, and his brother isn't here with him...

When will my brother be able to come back?

Qiao You felt his condition was getting worse and worse, like a fish that had been unfortunately thrown ashore and was about to die of thirst, while his life-giving rain was far away...

Suddenly, Qiao You felt a churning in his stomach and immediately got up and ran to the washroom.

Upon seeing this, Su Shu threw down her chopsticks and immediately followed them inside.

"My dear, what's wrong?" The voice was very anxious, and she quickly told the maid to go find a doctor.

Qiao You spat out all the mouthfuls of noodles he had just managed to swallow.

He collapsed to the ground as if all his strength had been released. Su Shu bent down to help him up and, when she touched Qiao You's shoulder, she found that the little darling was trembling, his body was cold, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

"Sweetie, sweetie, where does it hurt? Tell Mommy." Su Shu called out to Qiao You again and again. This child must have been holding back for a long time. He even swallowed the noodles just now. He was so good that it broke her heart.

It took the combined efforts of the maid and Su Shu to lift Qiao You up from the ground and move him to the sofa.

Su Shu held Qiao You close to her chest and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel. "Sweetie, can you hear Mommy?"

Qiao You gave a weak "hmm," but he knew clearly in his mind that this was his mother, not his brother.

But he wanted an older brother...

With his eyes tightly closed, apart from his response to Su Shu, Qiao You kept calling out "brother" softly.

The incident happened suddenly, but the maids of Wuxin Palace acted in an orderly and disciplined manner. Apart from contacting a doctor, His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince were also trying to make contact.

Helian Cheng arrived quickly. As soon as he stepped into the bedchamber, Su Shu ordered him, "Quickly contact your son and tell him to come back immediately. Nothing is more important than your precious baby."

Su Shu felt a dense, needle-like pain rising in her chest; nothing was more important than her precious baby.

She had promised Youyou's parents that she would take good care of him and wouldn't let him suffer any injustice, but in less than a year, Xiaoyu was left to silently endure the pain all by herself...

"Okay." Helian Cheng glanced at Su Shu and Qiao You, and then had someone contact Helian Jue through military communications channels.

The doctor arrived quickly and made a preliminary diagnosis of stomach spasms.

Qiao You felt better now and regained consciousness. Wanting for the baby's safety, he no longer hid it, saying, "My stomach has been hurting since the afternoon."

"Stomach ache?" Su Shu's heart, which had just been at ease, was once again gripped by anxiety. Stomach ache? This was no small matter.

The doctor at Wuxin Palace was specially arranged by Helian Jue and knew the truth about Xiaoyu's pregnancy.

Hearing that there was a stomachache, the doctor didn't dare to take it lightly and quickly took out the equipment to draw blood for testing.

Qiao You stretched out her arm, turned her head to the side, and kept thinking about why her brother hadn't returned yet...

Su Shu kept comforting Qiao You, letting him bury himself in her arms, and dared not look at the doctor.

The blood sample was collected quickly, but the testing would take time.

Her already pale face turned even paler, completely devoid of color.

The maid brought hot water and gave Qiao You a little to drink, but he vomited it up as soon as he swallowed it.

"Doctor, doctor!" Su Shu was really worried now. What illness did her baby have?

Qiao You knew that there was nothing seriously wrong with her, but she missed her brother very much and had a vague feeling that it would be good if her brother came back.
