Chapter 125
Seeing that her complexion was a little off, Song Xuan immediately asked, "Is something wrong?"
He, as a former educated youth, understood the hardships of pregnancy and therefore paid close attention to her condition.
Shen Qingnian nodded, her brows furrowing slightly, her expression showing signs of fatigue: "I suddenly feel a little tired. Let's save the fireworks for next time. I'll just eat these wontons."
If she hadn't thought that this was the last time she would see him, she wouldn't have forced herself to eat the wontons despite the pain in her stomach.
Song Xuan nodded and said gently, "Then next time."
After saying that, he continued to feed Shen Qingnian wontons.
Qing Nian's attitude has softened, and he doesn't want to push too hard. If she says next time, then next time it is.
After eating five wontons, Shen Qingnian turned her head away and said in a low voice, "I'm full and want to rest for a while."
This attitude clearly indicates that they are trying to get rid of people.
Song Xuan wanted to keep her company, but seeing her cold attitude, the atmosphere in the hall became somewhat tense. The person who was gentle just now had changed her attitude in the blink of an eye.
It's a bit bewildering.
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the coronation ceremony. You still need to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to finalize the ceremony arrangements with the Ministry of Rites," Xia Zi reminded him, noticing the tense atmosphere.
Shen Qingnian was in abdominal pain and didn't want to talk. She just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. In Song Xuan's eyes, this looked like she was sulking.
Song Xuan felt somewhat helpless, but seeing her exhausted expression, he could only go along with it and say, "Then I will go and deal with the matters of the coronation first. You should rest well, and I will come to see you again tomorrow."
Shen Qingnian's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she ultimately remained silent.
Song Xuan bent down to tuck the blanket around her before leaving.
On the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xia Xiazi said carefully, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has already eaten the wontons you made tonight. You can just take the Phoenix Seal to find the Crown Princess after you ascend the throne tomorrow. I'm sure the Crown Princess will be happy."
"This servant also noticed that the Crown Princess's expression was somewhat off; she must be quite tired, which is why she suggested watching the fireworks tomorrow."
The Crown Princess's attitude just now was indeed like that.
Song Xuan's serious expression softened, and he gestured to Xia Xiazi: "Go to the Imperial Hospital yourself and invite Physician Xu to take a look at Qing Nian."
He probably won't be able to find the time to do anything all night.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zi immediately smiled and said, "This servant will go right away."
As the night deepened, Song Xuan walked along the road, his mind filled with turmoil. He only thought that after the grand ceremony was over the next day, he would hand over the Phoenix Embroidery to Qing Nian.
On the other side.
Inside the East Palace's sleeping quarters, after Song Xuan left, Shen Qingnian's previously calm expression immediately turned into one of pain, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
She was experiencing abdominal pain and tightness. Based on her previous experience, she knew this was a sign of premature labor, but if she gave birth now, Song Xuan would definitely drop everything and come to her.
"Zhu Lan, go to the Imperial Hospital and invite Imperial Physician Xu here," Shen Qingnian instructed Zhu Lan.
Zhu Lan stepped forward and was startled to see her pale face: "Your Highness, why is your face so pale!"
In just a few breaths, not only did cold sweat appear on Shen Qingnian's forehead, but her face also turned very pale.
"Go and invite Imperial Physician Xu, but don't tell His Highness. His Highness is about to ascend the throne. If he finds out, it might delay the ceremony. Even if you have ten heads, it won't be enough to chop them off!" Shen Qingnian's voice was a little weak, but her tone was extremely cold.
