Sang Jiang put down her toy, her face darkening.
Seeing that her expression was off, Su Liangdi didn't dare to speak.
"Qiuju, did the imperial physician say anything when he invited Liangdi to leave?" Sangjiang ignored her and looked directly at Qiuju.
Qiuju also looked puzzled. She lowered her head and said, "The imperial physician said that the baby in Liangdi's womb is fine."
“Yes.” Sang Jiang nodded: “Your concubine must not take anything that Zhao Lianyan sent. From now on, her meals should be reduced by half and made mainly light.”
Su Liangdi's face immediately scrunched up: "Why?"
"If you want to kill both you and your unborn child, you can continue eating." Sang Jiang turned to look at her; her expression wasn't good. Su Liangdi opened her mouth hesitantly and then closed it again.
Xia Ju looked at Sang Jiang with a serious expression: "Princess, is there something wrong with this soup?"
Sang Jiang shook her head: "The soup is fine, but if you drink too much, it will be a big problem. Look at how much weight you've gained in such a short time. If the baby gets too big, you might not be able to give birth. Do you think Zhao Lianyan is trying to make you feel weak by bringing you supplements right now? When your baby gets too big to give birth, do you think you'll still be alive to eat them?"
She really hadn't expected Zhao Lianyan to be so malicious, so her tone turned sour.
Pregnant women are prone to mood swings, and after Sang Jiang said that, Su Liangdi felt very wronged.
Sang Jiang pinched her brow and walked to her side, gently coaxing her: "Alright, I'm not blaming you. It's normal that you can't guard against such ruthless things. But you need to know that you're not carrying someone else's child. It's the royal heir. At the very least, he'll be ennobled and appointed as a high-ranking official in the future. When that happens, you'll rise in status because of your son. Where will she have a place to hide then? You'd better be careful in the future."
Su Liangdi's eyes reddened slightly at what she said: "Sang Jiang..."
"Alright, alright, stop crying." Sang Jiang suppressed her anger and patiently coaxed her.
"Royal sister, should we tell the Crown Prince about this?" Nangong Luoying broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
Although she had always lived in the deep palace, Xi Feng only had her as a princess, so she had never been involved in any power struggles since childhood. At most, she was just a little willful. Now, after hearing Sang Jiang's words, she felt scared.
Thinking about how she was about to be sent to Dongchen Kingdom for a political marriage, and how she might face something even more terrifying than this, she couldn't help but have second thoughts.
Sang Jiang shook her head: "No need. What good would it do to tell the Emperor? It would only cause her more trouble. Besides, even if this matter gets out, we have no evidence. Zhao Lianyan neither poisoned nor drugged her. If word gets out, people will say that Su Su is ungrateful."
Nangong Luoying pursed her lips, pinched her little nose, and said unhappily, "So, is this all we're going to do?"
Sang Jiang raised a brow with her phoenix eyes: "Of course not."
She beckoned to Xia Ju with her finger and whispered a few words in her ear.
The three stayed together until they talked about Nangong Jin returning to the Crown Prince's residence before heading back.
Before leaving, Sang Jiang looked at Xia Ju and said to her again, "Don't forget what I said."
Xia Ju nodded: "Princess, please rest assured, this servant will definitely take good care of Liangdi."
“Hmm.” Sang Jiang nodded and looked at Su Liangdi again: “You forgot too, otherwise even a god couldn’t save you.”
Su Liangdi, holding Nangong Jin's arm, stuck out her tongue at Sang Jiang and said, "Okay."
