Everyone at Huichuntang knew Qin Su, and seeing the critical situation, they immediately went to call for help and settled Qin Su in.
"Uncle Liu, please save Nannan! You must save Nannan!" Qin Su clutched the middle-aged man's sleeve, her eyes filled with panic.
"Don't worry, I will do my best." Uncle Liu sat down to take Qin Su's pulse, and seeing that Yu Shuo was still there, he immediately urged, "Your Highness Prince Chen, please go out first."
"I, I will wait right here." His handsome face was full of seriousness. He turned and stood at the base of the wall. "I will not disturb you."
Given the urgency of the situation, Uncle Liu couldn't continue to send her away. After taking her pulse, he took out silver needles and gave Qin Su acupuncture to stabilize her pain.
"Are you alright? Is she alright?" Qin Su asked Uncle Liu as soon as she caught her breath.
Uncle Liu replied, "Luckily we arrived in time; if we had been any later..."
"You're in a special period right now, you can't smell any fragrances containing musk." Uncle Liu scolded him with concern, momentarily forgetting that Yu Shuo was still standing there.
Qin Su was also feeling guilty and annoyed, "I didn't know there was musk in that incense burner."
"Alright, I'll prescribe some medicine. Take it on time. During this period, avoid being irritable and losing your temper. Staying calm and peaceful is the most important thing."
Qin Su nodded pitifully.
Uncle Liu really wanted to ask about the relationship between Qin Su and Yu Shuo, but now was not the right time.
"Eat this."
A pill was placed to Qin Su's lips, and Qin Su obediently swallowed it without asking what it was.
It was around this time that Chongyang and Qin Zhi arrived. Uncle Liu asked Qin Zhi to take care of Qin Su while he went out to get medicine.
"Sister, how are you?" Qin Zhi rushed to the bedside, anxiously asking.
Qin Su shook her head. "It's nothing."
Yu Shuo walked out at this moment, glanced around, and found Uncle Liu at the medicine dispensing area.
"Uncle Liu, I would like to ask about Qin Su."
Uncle Liu paused in his hand grasping the medicine, then continued, "She's fine."
"Why can't I smell musk? I remember musk is used for abortion..."
Uncle Liu interrupted him, "Prince Chen, be careful with your words."
Although people are not as harsh on women now, premarital pregnancy is still not something to be proud of.
"Your Highness need not call me Uncle Liu."
Yu Shuo pursed his lips, his voice slightly hoarse, "Back then, I did not intentionally leave without saying goodbye."
Uncle Liu didn't stop what he was doing, but when he finished grabbing the medicine and started wrapping it, he said, "Why are you asking about Susu? She has someone she likes, not you."
Yu Shuo stubbornly retorted, "She said she no longer likes Xue Huai'an."
Uncle Liu said sarcastically, "Susu doesn't like Xue Huai'an, and she won't like you either. As far as Susu is concerned, you've betrayed her."
"I just want to protect her. How long has she been alive?"
"Want to know? Go ask her yourself."
If he could ask Qin Su, he wouldn't have come to ask Uncle Liu.
"Uncle Liu, I have an 800-year-old ginseng."
Uncle Liu: Good lad! You've learned how to tempt him.
"I don't need Uncle Liu to tell me whose child it is, Uncle Liu just needs to tell me how long it has been going on."
Uncle Liu's heart was in turmoil; that was an 800-year-old ginseng, something he had never even seen before.
But to do something so unfair to SuSu just for an 800-year-old ginseng... that's so immoral.
"I won't say it was Uncle Liu who said it."
Uncle Liu: Not many people know about this.
"The Empress Dowager wanted to take that ginseng from me a few days ago."
"No way! If you want to know, ask Susu. Get lost! Don't get in my way!"
He was extremely agitated and desperately wanted ginseng, but Qin Su ultimately took precedence over him.
Yu Shuo had no choice but to give up. The people around Qin Su valued friendship more, and such people were the hardest to move.
Yu Shuo returned to Qin Su's room. She didn't look very well, but she had regained some strength.
Should we ask her now?
"Chongyang, take Qin Zhi out first."
Only Qin Su and Yu Shuo remained in the room, but he couldn't bring himself to speak when he saw Qin Su like this.
Qin Su smiled and asked, "Your Highness, are you asking if I'm pregnant?"
Yu Shuo nodded.
"Will Your Highness keep this a secret?"
Yu Shuo nodded.
"Your Highness, please help me up."
Yu Shuo stepped forward and sat down, helping Qin Su to her feet and letting her lean on his shoulder. It had been a long time since they had been this close.
"I do have a child. I was tricked on the day of the Spring River Banquet and became pregnant."
Yu Shuo lowered his eyes, his pupils trembled, and his body shook slightly.
"So... you want the Spring River Banquet guest list to find out who the child's father is?" His throat tightened, making it especially difficult for him to say these words.
"Mmm." Qin Su stroked her belly, her eyes filled with a happy smile.
She did not object to the arrival of the child.
Thinking of this, Yu Shuo felt a surge in his chest.
"I thought the child was Xue Huai'an's. Ha! That's exactly what he led me to believe."
"Don't be angry. It's bad for your health," Yu Shuo comforted her. "If you want to do something, just tell me, and I'll do it."
"How can we keep troubling Your Highness?"
Yu Shuo then asked, "What do you plan to do once you find the child's biological father?"
He couldn't suppress his hope, and he didn't mind that the two of them were tied together because of the child; he didn't mind that he would gain status through his son.
Unfortunately, Qin Su's next words shattered his beautiful dream.
"It's nothing. I just want to know who the child's father is." There was something she didn't say: if that person was a good person, perhaps she would allow Nannan to see him, but that would be all.
Yu Shuo lowered his thin eyelids, his hopes dashed once again.
"Your Highness doesn't think I would choose to marry a man because of Nannan, does he?" Her teasing words fell on his ears, seemingly the greatest mockery.
Yu Shuo's throat grew increasingly dry and uncomfortable. He subconsciously echoed Qin Su's words, "Su Su isn't that kind of person."
"This is the first time Your Highness has called me by my childhood name."
"I'm sorry for the offense."
"Since they are friends, why can't we call each other that?" Even in the current social climate of Da'an, this kind of interaction between men and women is acceptable, although some overly conservative women are an exception.
"I will have Chongyang get rid of all the spices in the manor that contain musk. And any other spices that are bad for the fetus."
"I feel a little bad about what Your Highness says. It wasn't intentional on Your Highness's part; it was my oversight. If I were to cause Your Highness to have to give up the spices you like, I would lose face."
Yu Shuo replied, "My friend is the most important person."
Seeing Yu Shuo's response, Qin Su didn't refuse anymore. It seemed she had successfully become Yu Shuo's friend, achieving her first goal since her rebirth.
Chongyang knocked on the door from the outside, "Your Highness, Miss Lian Tao has arrived."
"Let her in."
Qin Su suddenly grasped the large hand of the man beside her, successfully attracting his attention. "My parents don't know about Nannan's situation yet. Currently, only Your Highness and Lian Tao know."
"Rest assured, I promise you I will keep it a secret."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
When Lian Tao came in, she saw Qin Su leaning against Yu Shuo. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was soft and charming. They were such a mismatch.
She paused for a moment before rushing over, "What happened, young lady?"
