When Yu Jingchen went to Fengyin Palace, Nan Zhiyun was still sitting on the bed holding the bell, with Jiang Ji standing guard beside her, looking no different than usual. Nan Zhiyun's eyes reddened as she watched Yu Jingchen enter, and she couldn't help but cry.
"What's wrong? Were you upset again?" Yu Jingchen softened his tone, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere around him.
He had previously pulled Nan Zhiyun into his arms, with Lingdang still lying on Nan Zhiyun's lap, but this time Yu Jingchen didn't pick up the cat and throw it away.
"Did you take your medicine?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
Nan Zhiyun nodded.
"Is Yun'er hungry?" Yu Jingchen asked again.
"I'm hungry..." Nan Zhiyun said softly, her voice a little hoarse, probably because she hadn't spoken for so long and couldn't get the words out. But Yu Jingchen was delighted, because it had been several days since Nan Zhiyun had uttered a single word, but she had finally spoken just now.
"What would you like to eat, Yun'er? I'll have someone make it especially for you, shall I?" Yu Jingchen continued to ask her.
“I… want to eat wontons,” Nan Zhiyun replied. Wontons? Yu Jingchen was a little surprised, but he was already very satisfied that Nan Zhiyun could say that and answer him.
"Okay, then we'll have wontons. I'll have someone make some right away." Yu Jingchen patted her head.
When they first left the palace, Nan Zhiyun ate small wontons, and thinking of this...
"Yun'er, would you like to go out of the palace for a while? How about I take you for a walk?" Yu Jingchen asked as soon as he thought of it.
However, Nan Zhiyun shook her head.
"Don't you want to go out?" Yu Jingchen thought Nan Zhiyun would agree.
“Baby…” She worries about her health every day, afraid that she won’t be able to keep the baby.
Yu Jingchen understood her worries and gently patted Nan Zhiyun's back: "I had someone find a few folk doctors before. I heard their medical skills are quite good and they are very prestigious. I'll have them come and take a look at you, okay? If there's nothing wrong, I'll take you out of the palace for a while to relax and clear your head, is that alright?" Yu Jingchen still hoped that Nan Zhiyun could have a chance to vent her emotions, and leaving the palace might be a good option.
“Um…I want a baby.” Nan Zhiyun continued to emphasize this point.
“Okay, let’s have a baby. As long as Yun’er is happy every day, the baby will be fine too, right? So Yun’er can’t be like this every day. She needs to go out more, smile more, and not keep things to herself. If anything happens, she should tell me, okay?” Yu Jingchen really treated Nan Zhiyun like a child.
"Hmm," Nan Zhiyun knew this principle, but emotions are uncontrollable, and perhaps pregnant women are more sensitive, so Nan Zhiyun couldn't get over it.
"I still want to see the Empress Dowager..." Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen pleadingly, her watery eyes making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
But this put Yu Jingchen in a difficult position.
"Yun'er, be good, let's wait a few more days, okay? Gu Yin has been in Cining Palace these past few days. He said he would have a way, but he won't let anyone go in to disturb him. So let's wait a couple more days, okay?" It wasn't that Yu Jingchen couldn't get in, but it was better not to be so reckless. Besides... he felt that Gu Yin would definitely not do anything detrimental to the Empress Dowager.
“…Okay.” Although Nan Zhiyun was somewhat disappointed, she did not insist.
