Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
"Then I'll ask Doctor Li to come and take a look at the meals you ate before. If there's nothing wrong with it and you can eat it, then that's good."
Jun Zechen suggested patiently.
Su Jingyao nodded gently.
When Imperial Physician Li came over, Concubine Su was half leaning in the arms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an upright figure, with the bearing of a dragon and a phoenix, while Concubine Su is graceful and elegant, with the appearance of an immortal.
Doctor Li was dazzled by the beautiful scene before him for a moment. He came to his senses after a moment, hurriedly lowered his head, and walked forward respectfully to pay his respects.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Su." There was a hint of awe in Doctor Li's voice.
"Get up."
"I called you here today to show you these meals."
"Now the concubine always vomits after eating the meals prepared by the food doctor. I have asked someone to prepare the thirty meals that the concubine used to eat, as well as the fifty meals prepared by the food doctor during pregnancy. Please take a close look at them and find out what is the most suitable meal for a four-month pregnant woman."
Afterwards, eunuchs and palace maids came in one by one, each carrying a tray with ten small bowls of exquisite meals.
Doctor Li was shocked when he saw the watery meal. He thought there was something wrong with the concubine's health, so the Crown Prince called him in hurriedly.
The result is to look at the meals.
Doctor Li carefully went forward to check each one, sometimes leaning in to smell it, sometimes looking at it carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Doctor Li selected fifteen kinds of meals.
"Concubine Su, why not try these meals?" Imperial Doctor Li suggested.
Su Jingyao had long been accustomed to the mellow aroma of medicinal food, so she tried the Ambergris and Cordyceps stew first.
She frowned slightly and swallowed with difficulty, but after a while, her body began to contradict her.
She couldn’t help but cover her mouth, “Take it away, don’t eat it!”
Seeing this, Jun Zechen showed worry on his face and waved his hand to ask the palace maid to send the dish away.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao tried a few more meals, but she felt more and more uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, I don't want to try it anymore." There was a hint of grievance in Su Jingyao's voice.
Jun Zechen felt very sorry for her when he saw her aggrieved look, but how could she not eat?
"Doctor Li, is there any way to treat the concubine's current condition?" the prince asked in a deep voice.
Doctor Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. In fact, he really wanted to say that it is normal for pregnant women to have morning sickness and lose their appetite during these months, and generally they will get through it if they just endure it.
But seeing how the Crown Prince treated his concubine like a treasure, he naturally didn't dare to say such words.
There was a flash of thought in Doctor Li's eyes.
A few days ago, a young doctor came to the Imperial Medical Bureau. It is said that there is a kind of fruit in their hometown called Hongqi Fruit, which is very effective for morning sickness in pregnant women after being processed and eaten.
The juice of the red wonder fruit was mixed with honey, some lemon, and some other ingredients to make a juice, which was also given to him to try.
Doctor Li thought at the time that this juice might be worth a try for Concubine Su, after all, she had been suffering from severe morning sickness recently.
However, Concubine Su's pregnancy was of vital importance and could not allow any mistakes.
"Your Highness, I have another method, but this prescription is a folk remedy from a young imperial physician's hometown. I have examined it and found nothing wrong with it. You may let your princess try it." Imperial Physician Li said respectfully.
"Well, present it."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li rushed back to the Imperial Hospital. He walked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face, and quickly got into the work. Seeing this, the young doctor's eyes flashed with thought, and he randomly helped Doctor Li to make the medicine.
Fortunately, the process was not very complicated and was completed in a short time. Then he rushed to the East Palace without stopping.
At this time, Su Jingyao was leaning listlessly in Jun Zechen's arms. She looked weak and as if she had lost her life.
Miaoyun carefully brought the juice presented by Doctor Li to Su Jingyao.
Su Jingyao first sniffed the juice lightly, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.
But her expression remained as calm as water, without a single ripple.
Then she took a sip of the juice and picked up a piece of flower cake beside her and started eating.
A glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes, "Your Highness, this juice is indeed useful. After eating this flower cake, I no longer feel like vomiting."
Jun Zechen's face also suddenly showed a look of joy, "Okay, okay, okay, Doctor Li has a reward."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Li was delighted, but he did not dare to take all the credit. He hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the red fruit in this juice was provided to me by Doctor Jin, the new doctor from the Imperial Hospital. This doctor is quite proficient in gynecology."
"Your Highness, I really like this juice. Could you please let this new doctor and Doctor Li take care of me together?"
Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Doctor Li is one of the chief doctors of the Imperial Hospital. In addition to taking care of my health, he also has many other matters to deal with."
"Let a new imperial physician take care of me. He will have more free time and can always take care of me. I won't have to trouble Imperial Physician Li for trivial matters." Su Jingyao said slowly.
Jun Zechen thought for a moment and said, "Well, Yaoyao is right."
Then he turned to Doctor Li and said, "From now on, the two of you will take care of the concubine together."
"Yes, Your Highness, but this strange red fruit is not found in the capital. It is said to be from the hometown of Imperial Doctor Jin and is unique to Guangling City. And it is the harvest season recently. Your Highness, would you like to send someone to transport some back to the capital?" Imperial Doctor Li said respectfully.
"Well, I will send someone to bring some back. You and Doctor Jin can estimate how many red wonder fruits the concubine will need."
"I ordered someone to bring it back and keep it in the ice cellar. It is exclusive to the concubine. No one else can touch it without my permission." Jun Zechen said solemnly.
"Yes, Your Highness," Doctor Li replied.
After Doctor Li left, Su Jingyao also had some appetite because of the juice.
After Jun Zechen accompanied her for dinner, he took a walk with her in the courtyard.
Her steps were a little heavy due to her pregnancy, but Jun Zechen stayed by her side attentively, comforting her softly from time to time.
After Jun Zechen left, Su Jingyao returned to the palace and began to trim the roses that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had delivered today.
But her mind was not on the rose at all. There was a dark flash in her eyes, like a dark cloud covering her pupils.
"Who let him into the palace?"
There was a hint of coldness in her voice, as if it could freeze the air around them.
Su Jingyao accidentally cut off the entire flower with the scissors in her hand.
The gorgeous rose immediately fell to the ground, with petals scattered all over the ground.
Miaoyun stood there, feeling a little at a loss.
She didn't know what her master was talking about, but she could hear the unhappiness in her tone.
"Who is the master talking about?"
