Chapter 357
"Jingyuan, take him to the side courtyard."
Jing Yuan responded and took two steps forward, leading Doctor Tian away.
Yunxi was about to pour tea for Shen Rang when he grabbed her hand: "Don't bother, don't worry, Duan Jieyuan will be fine."
Seeing that Yunxi's eyes brightened slightly, Shen Rang told her about what had happened in the palace.
Knowing that Duan Huaichuan had actually gone to beat the petition drum, Yunxi sighed, "It seems I've been meddling in other people's business."
When Duan Huaichuan said he still had a way, Yunxi thought he was just trying to coax her. Little did she know, he really did have a way!
Seeing her sentiments, Shen Rang said casually, "That Scholar Duan is really something. He clearly knows that striking the Dengwen Drum will allow him to see His Majesty directly, yet he still asked you to come to me. He is indeed very thoughtful."
Yunxi was taken aback, feeling that Shen Rang's words were a bit strange.
But before she could figure out what was strange, Shen Rang spoke again: "Don't think about these things anymore. Your health is the most important thing right now. Promise me you'll take good care of yourself and that nothing else will happen, okay?"
He still feels lingering fear when he recalls the scene of Yunxi fainting in front of him that night.
Yunxi pursed her lips and nodded: "I will."
For her sake, and for her child's sake.
This time, she will not let her child suffer the same fate as in her previous life.
Her child will grow up healthy and strong, and see all the wonders of the world.
Seeing this, Shen Rang was finally relieved.
A short while later, it was lunchtime. After the two finished eating, they were just about to go back to rest when Pearl came in carrying a soup bowl.
"This is a soup of morel mushrooms, fish maw, and abalone that the young mistress specially ordered to be stewed. She said that since the concubine is pregnant, she needs to nourish herself and this is the best thing for her," Pearl said with a smile. "By the way, is that Doctor Tian here? The young mistress said that although she meant well, she has never actually given birth before, so it would be best to have Doctor Tian examine her before giving the concubine the soup."
Yun Wan was unusually kind to Yun Xi, and so considerate. Shen Rang was surprised, but his expression softened considerably: "Jing Yuan, go and call Doctor Tian over."
"yes."
Jingyuan quickly brought Doctor Tian over. Doctor Tian scooped out a spoonful, pretended to examine it carefully, and then said, "Young Master, Madam, this is indeed a top-quality tonic. Madam can drink more without any problem."
Shen Rang nodded slightly, then looked at Yun Xi: "Xi'er, can you still eat?"
"Since it's the young mistress's idea, how could I not eat it?" Yunxi said with a smile.
Shen Rang then reached out and took the soup bowl.
The moment the lid was opened, a delicious aroma wafted out.
Yunxi drank it little by little, but the more she drank, the more painful it became.
She was already full, so she had to hold her nose and force the soup down her throat.
Shen Rang watched helplessly from the side: "Xi'er, if you're full, don't drink anymore."
Yunxi looked at him, somewhat innocently: "But this is the young mistress's gift, if I don't finish it..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she glanced at Pearl again, almost unconsciously.
Pearl's smile remained unchanged, but in reality, her back teeth were practically grinding to powder.
Yun Wan clearly meant well by giving Yun Xi the gift, but this bitch's actions made it seem as if Yun Wan was deliberately making things difficult for her!
"Madam, the young mistress means well. Even if you only have a few sips, she will be happy. Please don't harm your health."
As Pearl spoke, she stepped forward and put away the soup bowl, so that this slut wouldn't put on an act in front of Shen Rang anymore.
"Young Madam is so considerate; I was just being petty and judging her by my own standards..."
Pearl's hand trembled, and the soup bowl almost fell onto the table.
