Bai Shi, who was originally listening to Su Xuening speak, was now also attracted by Xuan Yuanzhan.
Xuanyuan Zhan strode over to Su Xuening, helped her up, and then pretended to scold her: "It's just that you didn't sleep in the main room last night. Why did you have to tell Mother about such a small matter?"
Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan in surprise. What was he saying? He should know what she and the Dowager Consort were going to talk about. Why did he interrupt her and say these things?
Xuan Yuanzhan stared straight at Su Xuening, silently conveying his meaning to her with his eyes.
Bai thought Su Xuening was going to say something, but it turned out to be just this. She immediately gave Xuan Yuanzhan a reproachful look: "You too, she's pregnant and you don't even stay with her. What if something happens?"
Why is this kid still acting like this? He doesn't cuddle with such a good wife like Ning'er when he sleeps, and insists on sleeping alone!
Xuanyuan Zhan chuckled dryly at Bai Shi, "Ning'er is newly pregnant, and I was just worried that my sleeping posture might hurt her. I'll stay with her tonight!"
"That's more like it, but you still need to be careful and vigilant. Don't hurt Ning'er, she's already weak." Madam Bai kept warning Xuan Yuanzhan.
"Hmm," Xuan Yuanzhan replied casually.
Bai ignored him and helped Su Xuening into the house, asking with concern, "You went to see Ning'er's master last night, didn't you? What did Ning'er's master say?"
Su Xuening gave Xuan Yuanzhan a strange look.
Did they go to the western suburbs valley last night?
Did he take her there?
"It's nothing, just a minor issue," Xuan Yuanzhan said reassuringly, not wanting to explain too much to Bai Shi.
Hearing this, Madam Bai breathed a slight sigh of relief, then looked at Su Xuening's face and said, "Ning'er's complexion is still not very good. She should rest more. The first three months are the most important."
Before Su Xuening could speak, Xuan Yuanzhan interjected, "Don't worry, I will protect Ning'er!"
Bai glared at Xuan Yuanzhan: "It had better be that way. If anything happens to Ning'er, I will hold you responsible!"
"I know!" Xuan Yuanzhan said impatiently, then frowned and said, "Can you please give us, my husband and I, some privacy?"
Bai Shi understood perfectly well that Xuan Yuanzhan was implying she should leave, and wisely stood up: "Fine! I'm leaving!"
Before leaving, Madam Bai looked at Su Xuening and instructed her, "Ning'er, take good care of yourself and don't forget to drink your medicine to prevent miscarriage. The medicine was prepared last night."
"Thank you, Mother." Su Xuening hurriedly tried to get up to see him off, but Bai Shi pressed her back down: "Don't move, rest well, lie in bed more."
After saying that, he glared at his son and said, "Take good care of Ning'er!"
Xuan Yuanzhan didn't say anything, but gave her a "hurry up" look.
Bai left helplessly.
As soon as Madam Bai left, Granny Shang brought in some medicine to help prevent miscarriage: "The medicine to help prevent miscarriage has been kept warm for the Princess Consort, and it's just right to drink it now."
Su Xuening knew that her condition couldn't be solved simply by taking medication to prevent miscarriage.
Although her body had endured endless pain, the child in her womb was still very resilient. Apart from the possibility that the Love Flower Gu might transfer from the mother to the child, the child was otherwise healthy.
However, this medicine was a gift from the Empress Dowager, and she couldn't refuse it. Besides, she was only a month and a half pregnant, so taking some medicine to help maintain the pregnancy would be beneficial for her.
Su Xuening picked up the bowl of medicine to prevent miscarriage and drank the whole bowl in one gulp.
Seeing that Su Xuening was not pretentious at all, Granny Shang's eyes showed even more appreciation.
"Thank you for your trouble, Granny Shang." Su Xuening handed the empty bowl back to Granny Shang.
Granny Shang accepted the gift with a smile: "Of course, the Dowager Consort specifically instructed that from now on, this old servant must personally prepare all the Princess Consort's medicine to prevent miscarriage, and no one else is allowed to interfere."
Su Xuening tugged at the corners of her lips, her heart growing increasingly moved.
Granny Shang was the most trusted personal nanny of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager had Granny Shang personally prepare medicine for her to prevent miscarriage, which was also a way of protecting her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Granny."
"Your Highness, please rest well. This old servant will take his leave."
Granny Shang bowed to Su Xuening and Xuan Yuanzhan, then withdrew.
After Granny Shang left, Xuan Yuanzhan got up and closed the door.
Su Xuening looked at Xuan Yuanzhan in confusion: "Why won't Your Highness let me tell the truth to the Dowager Consort?"
If he hadn't stopped her, she would have already explained the truth to the Empress Dowager.
Xuan Yuanzhan glanced at her helplessly: "What do you want to say?"
Feeling a sense of humiliation, Su Xuening's face paled even more, and her voice became colder and harder: "Your Highness must have heard what I said last night."
Xuan Yuanzhan frowned and stared at her: "So you want a divorce?"
Sensing the impatience in his tone, Su Xuening felt even more aggrieved. She turned her eyes away and said with difficulty, "If Your Highness wishes to divorce me..."
"I don't want to!" Before Su Xuening could finish speaking, Xuan Yuanzhan interrupted her coldly.
“Your Highness…” Su Xuening looked up at Xuan Yuanzhan, puzzled.
Looking into her confused eyes, Xuan Yuanzhan walked up to her and looked at her very seriously: "I don't want a divorce, and I don't want to divorce my wife."
His unusually firm tone made Su Xuening's nose suddenly sting, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears: "Does Your Highness really not care?"
Xuan Yuanzhan tenderly pulled her into his arms, his gentle voice carrying a hint of pleading: "Ning'er, I don't mind, can you stay by my side forever?"
Ning'er, please forgive me!
Once I get the mother Gu, I will definitely tell you the whole truth.
Xuan Yuanzhan's almost pleading words made Su Xuening's eyes redden even more. She didn't push Xuan Yuanzhan away, but buried her face in his chest, letting her tears soak his clothes: "Xuan Yuanzhan, don't you understand? We can't truly be together for the rest of our lives, so why do you still want me to stay by your side?"
They will never become a real couple, doesn't he care?
The scalding tears seemed to scald Xuan Yuanzhan's heart, causing him so much pain that he almost suffocated. He tenderly kissed her forehead and coaxed her gently, "Ning'er, I will help you remove the curse. Once the curse is removed, everything will be alright."
Su Xuening frowned, remembering what her martial uncle had said.
My uncle also said that if the Love Flower Gu could be cured, her body would no longer be controlled by it.
Thinking about the removal of the curse, Su Xuening felt helpless again: "But I can't find that person!"
Now she can't even find that person, let alone get his essence and the mother Gu.
Su Xuening's aggrieved words made Xuan Yuanzhan feel extremely guilty. He subconsciously blurted out, "Don't look for me anymore, I..."
Su Xuening looked up and stared at him strangely.
What was he trying to say?
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Xuan Yuanzhan finally came to his senses and changed the subject: "I'll help you!"
He will definitely get the mother Gu!
No matter the cost, he will definitely retrieve the mother Gu and help her break free from the Love Flower Gu!
