Chapter 60 Chapter 60 It’s been three months, how come the little brat…
Li Shuyao turned around and retched for a long time, but nothing came out.
With a very aggrieved expression, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears that welled up in her eyes. With her other hand, she pressed her lower abdomen a little higher and said pitifully to Jiarou and Yueshu, "I'm in trouble. I think I really have a stomach problem..."
Tian Jiarou and Yue Shu looked at each other, and saw a solemnity in each other's eyes.
Tian Jiarou stretched out a few fingers, placed them on Li Shuyao's wrist and took her pulse. She had some vague guesses in her mind and suddenly looked up at Yueshu.
Yueshu was almost about to jump up.
She clenched her fists, trying hard to suppress the joy in her heart, and stammered to Tian Jiarou, "Is it, is it?"
What is it?
Li Shuyao didn't understand what strange things they were saying, and her suspicious eyes kept moving back and forth across their faces.
Then she pursed her lips, feeling a little worried and scared.
Could it be that what she ate really caused problems with her stomach?
...If I had known this earlier, she wouldn't have eaten so many sour and spicy snacks.
She then packed up the two jars of hot and sour chicken feet, as well as the spicy rabbit head, and sent them all to Qingyao's palace. If Qingyao couldn't finish them all, Lingluo could help, or the new maids and eunuchs in her palace could help...
After all, it’s not good to waste it.
Li Shuyao was still thinking about something here, while Tian Jiarou frowned hesitantly.
After all, she had only been studying medicine for a short time, so she couldn't be sure if the pulse she had taken was correct. What if, what if she had made a mistake? Wouldn't that have made the young lady happy for nothing?
So he cautiously did not speak, but stood up with a dazed expression, walked to the study on the other side, took out a few books and looked through them for a while, then took out a book of unknown origin from the drawer and examined it carefully.
Then he walked out of the study in a hurry, took Yueshu's hand and pushed her out.
I don't know what he was mumbling.
When Yueshu heard this, she ran outside, looking flustered from behind.
Li Shuyao stood up from the stool immediately, terrified. She trembled as she walked to the door, grabbed Tian Jiarou's hand, and asked, "Is something wrong with me?"
"Is she going to get seriously ill? What is Yueshu doing? Is she going to find a doctor for me... Wuwu, if something happens to me, will Qingyao be scared and worry about me to death..."
She was talking incoherently and didn't even know what she was saying.
The plot of the original novel kept running through her mind.
Because of extreme tension and fear, the sour and swollen feeling that had been temporarily suppressed surged into the throat again.
She suddenly covered her mouth, turned sideways and started retching again.
Now, Tian Jiarou was almost certain.
Although he was somewhat happy, he was still more worried about Li Shuyao's current condition and the physical torture she would suffer in the next few months.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should laugh or cry.
After being stunned for a while, he hurried over to pat Li Shuyao's back to help her calm down, helped her to sit at the table, and brought her a cup of warm water mixed with plum juice. He gently soothed Li Shuyao and told her to drink it slowly.
At this moment, Li Shuyao had tears in her eyes, her delicate little face, which was the size of a palm, was flushed red, and her lips were slightly moist.
It was like a crabapple flower that had been ravaged and crushed by a violent storm, completely losing its vitality.
With his head drooped, he looked listless.
Seeing her slowly finish a glass of water like a kitten, Tian Jiarou quickly squatted down and asked her in a low voice, "Young Master, do you want to drink more?"
Li Shuyao nodded and said, "I want more."
As soon as she finished speaking, she licked the water stains on her lips again and said to Tian Jiarou, "I want something a little more sour. This one has no taste...eh?"
After countless takes, she finally reacted.
I don't look like I have a stomach problem, but rather...
Got it?
Is there a baby in her belly?
Li Shuyao stuffed the water cup into Tian Jiarou's hand and rubbed her belly in circles with both hands.
After rubbing for a long time, I still couldn't feel any changes in my stomach.
What does the little one look like now? Is he the size of a peanut? Or is he already about the size of a black grape?
Her belly is still flat now, will it grow to the size of a balloon? Also, there's no such thing as lubricant these days, so what if she gets stretch marks after her belly gets bigger?
That would be really ugly.
Thinking of this, Li Shuyao felt a little disgusted with this little cub.
I always feel like I have to suffer a lot for him/her...
Li Shuyao pouted, and the expression on her face changed from shock to joy, and then from curiosity to faint disgust and distress.
Tian Jiarou was observing carefully from the side. Seeing her emotions change so quickly, the confidence in her heart had increased from 7 or 8 points to 9 points.
While keeping an eye on Li Shuyao's movements out of the corner of her eye, she quickly poured another cup of warm water, this time adding several spoonfuls of plum juice.
Li Shuyao felt it was not enough. She took only one sip, then stood up with the cup in hand. She walked to the shelf where tea cans and honey jars were placed, and added several spoonfuls of freshly squeezed fruit juice to the cup. She added plum juice, prune juice, lemon juice... [1]
Tian Jiarou watched from the side, and just by imagining the taste, several streams of saliva unconsciously flowed out from under her tongue.
Is this a bit too sour?
But Li Shuyao thought it was just right.
After she finished drinking, she wanted to have another glass, but Tian Jiarou stopped her in time, fearing that if she continued drinking like this, it would really hurt her stomach.
Li Shuyao had no choice but to put down the cup in disappointment.
After rolling his eyes and thinking for a moment, he confidently asked Tian Jiarou, "What if I feel like vomiting again later?"
She thought Tian Jiarou would say, then wait until you are about to vomit before drinking.
Unexpectedly, Tian Jiarou quickly brought over a clean handkerchief. She sprinkled some of the little plum juice in the jar on the handkerchief, then handed it to Li Shuyao and said to her, "If you feel like vomiting, you can smell the scent of this handkerchief. It may stop you from vomiting."
Li Shuyao's eyes suddenly widened.
devil……
What's the point of anti-emetic? It will only make her greedier.
But even thinking this way, Li Shuyao still took the handkerchief obediently and held it tightly in her palm. Then she felt that both her hands were filled with the sour, fragrant and very pleasant smell of plums.
She asked Tian Jiarou thoughtfully, "Can you make this plum into incense and fume my clothes with this scent? It smells really good."
Tian Jiarou secretly raised her previous guess and confidence to 9.1.
Her face showed no sign of change, and she nodded calmly to Li Shuyao and said, "Then I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow and ask them to develop some plum-scented incense."
Li Shuyao immediately smiled with her eyes curved.
Holding the handkerchief, he returned to the table excitedly. After playing with it for a while, he suddenly yawned and told Tian Jiarou that he felt a little sleepy.
…
Okay, 9.20% sure.
Tian Jiarou thought.
He stepped forward and gently massaged Li Shuyao's shoulders, while whispering, "Yue Shu hasn't come back yet. Why don't you wait for Yue Shu to bring the imperial physician back and take her pulse before going to sleep?"
"Okay then." Li Shuyao supported her cheek with one hand and agreed with dull eyes.
In fact, she also wanted to know if there was really a cub, er, a baby, in her belly.
I also want to know how old the baby is now, whether it is a boy or a girl, and whether he will be a well-behaved child in the future...
Forget it. If I ask the imperial physician this question, he definitely won’t understand.
I can only ask for some more common sense about prenatal education.
*
The other side.
After Yue Shu left the enclosure, she first told the news to Nanny Lin on foot, and then was led by Nanny Lin to Liang Jiugong.
When Liang Jiugong heard that the person in the surrounding room was unwell, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to delay and reported the news to the emperor.
When the emperor heard that something had happened to Li Shuyao, he was so anxious that he didn't even bother to read the memorial. He ordered someone in a deep voice to go to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician, and then he got up and walked towards Li Shuyao's room.
When he reached the outer room of Li Shuyao's hut, he happened to hear Li Shuyao say inside: "If Yueshu doesn't come back, I'm really going to die of sleep!"
Still in the mood to lose your temper?
I don't think it's a serious illness.
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and did not think about "deceiving the emperor" or "vying for favor" for a moment. He just wondered if Li Shuyao was young and ignorant, so she panicked and didn't know what to do when some small things happened.
That's why they sent people to him, the "backbone", to help make decisions.
The emperor strode in quickly.
The first thing I saw was Li Shuyao sitting on a chair in front of the table, with her hands tightly holding the waist of another little palace maid, and pressing her cheeks, which were as soft as buns, against the little palace maid's belly, until her flesh was deformed, but she looked unaware of it.
Her eyes were closed, her long, curled eyelashes trembled randomly, her bright red lips were slightly pouting, and she looked very unhappy.
The emperor's heart, which had just been relieved, was instantly lifted again.
"What's going on?" he suddenly asked.
In the room, Li Shuyao, who was still acting coquettishly with Tian Jiarou with her eyes closed, was startled.
She quickly opened her eyes, and after seeing who was coming, her frail body trembled for a moment, and then she stood up in a messy manner, forgetting that her hands were still around Tian Jiarou's waist, and she almost fell down.
Fortunately, Tian Jiarou helped him.
At that moment, Tian Jiarou felt like her heart was about to fly out of her throat.
"Xiao Xiao Xiao, is the young master okay?"
She was so nervous that she even forgot to salute the emperor. Her hands were tightly clasped on Li Shuyao's wrists, fearing that if she let go, Li Shuyao would slide to the ground, and then the royal heir in her belly would be... ?
"I, I'm fine." Li Shuyao agreed weakly.
Then he reached out and patted the back of Tian Jiarou's hand, signaling her to relax a little. It was quite painful to pinch her wrist like that.
Moreover, the emperor was still standing at the door, and the two of them were standing inside holding hands without saluting. Isn't that a bit impolite?
Only after she reminded her did Tian Jiarou react.
However, he did not bow towards the door first. Instead, he looked at Li Shuyao without missing a single word. He slowly loosened his hand and saw that she was standing steadily. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Li Shuyao:?
It seems like she is being treated like a porcelain doll?
The thought only flashed through her mind.
At the door, the emperor saw Li Shuyao's reckless look and immediately frowned in displeasure.
He thought that this was not the first time Li Shuyao had seen the emperor, so how could she make such a mistake... ?
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Shuyao, who was half squatting on the ground, suddenly spoke up, "Is the emperor coming alone?"
"Why hasn't the imperial physician come?" As she said this, she stuck her head out and looked towards the door.
She was still waiting for the imperial physician to finish taking her pulse so that she could go back to bed and take a nap.
Get a good sleep so that you will have the energy to go to Yiku Palace tomorrow to tell Qingyao the good news.
The last time she went there, Qingyao had secretly told her a little secret.
It is said that someone is already cleaning up the Changchun Palace next door.
Therefore, the emperor will probably give her a promotion after the new year.
When Qingyao told her at that time, her tone was still a little regretful, "It's a pity that they cleaned the side hall instead of the main hall. If it was the main hall...sigh."
"So, it would be great if you could suddenly accomplish something great, or, or suddenly get pregnant!"
"The Emperor and the two ancestors might be so pleased that they might even raise your position a little higher."
...As soon as you mention cub, cub will appear.
It was as if this baby had deliberately run into her belly just to elevate her status.
No, that's not right. She has symptoms of morning sickness, which means the baby in her belly is already one or two months old. So the baby didn't come just to elevate her status.
Instead, the baby ran into her belly first, and then heard the conversation between Qingyao and her. He was worried that his father didn't know about his existence, so he deliberately made her body have morning sickness to announce to her and his father that he was here!
Li Shuyao was so touched by her own idea that her heart was fluttering.
The emperor looked at the innocent expression on her face and didn't know what to say to her for a moment.
He walked over to Li Shuyao with his long legs, helped her up from the ground, and then knitted his eyebrows and gently tapped her on the forehead, "You, you have been serving me for so long, why are you still so reckless?"
At this time, Tian Jiarou knelt on the ground and bravely spoke, risking the risk of "insubordination", trying to divert the emperor's attention. "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The young lady didn't mean it. The young lady has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and today she suddenly had symptoms of dry heaving, and also a little sleepy..."
"I am guessing, could it be, could it be..."
Tian Jiarou hadn't finished speaking yet.
The emperor's sharp eyes lit up instantly, and he completely forgot his previous displeasure. He looked Li Shuyao up and down with a surprised expression, and finally his bright eyes stopped directly on Li Shuyao's belly.
He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had two hands growing out of his eyes, rubbing her belly back and forth.
Li Shuyao: "..."
She held her belly with both hands shyly.
Well, this little stomach is usually used for eating and drinking, but I didn’t expect it would be used for something great today.
But... Tian Jiarou's words were a bit too absolute. What if it doesn't happen?
Wouldn't that be a waste of joy?
The emperor might even get angry and suspect she was deliberately trying to win his favor...
So Li Shuyao thought about it, blushing slightly, and tried to make amends, "But the imperial physician hasn't arrived yet, and Jiarou's pulse diagnosis is only half-baked. Everything is still uncertain. Maybe I just have some stomach discomfort?"
"Your Majesty, please don't have too high hopes for me."
Be careful, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...
Uh, bah bah bah.
You can't say this nonsense.
It's like a curse.
The baby is gone.
For some reason, whenever I thought about the possibility that what was in her belly wasn't a baby, but a stomach damaged by her eating...
Li Shuyao couldn't help wanting to cry.
She blinked her almond-shaped eyes twice, and her eye sockets immediately turned red. A thick mist filled her eyes. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt.
Tian Jiarou, kneeling on the ground: ...
Nine point five, nine point five!
At this time, the emperor still did not know Li Shuyao's psychology.
When he saw Li Shuyao crying, he panicked instantly.
He quickly came over, took Li Shuyao into his arms and comforted her softly.
Li Shuyao couldn't explain what was wrong with her.
Anyway, the more I think about it, the more wronged I feel, and the more wronged I feel, the more I want to cry.
She simply pinched the emperor's clothes and sobbed and cried tears like rain, with the corners of her eyes and the beginning of her nose red.
The emperor felt somewhat helpless, and was worried that if she stood for too long, other problems might arise. He bent down, picked up Li Shuyao horizontally, and carried her to the bed in the inner room. He then lay down on her bed, patting her back and whispering comforting words while pulling the quilt from the bed to cover her.
Afraid she would catch a cold.
Li Shuyao cried until she was out of breath, but she still had the strength to say to him, "No, I didn't change my clothes."
She was still wearing her going-out dress, and she was rolling around on the bed like that, so much so that her clothes were about to get damaged.
Another thing is that the Manchu dress was embroidered with patterns and designs of all sizes, and lying on the bed like that made her skin hurt.
And, she had two small buns on her head, hairpins and velvet flowers, and her makeup...
How can you lie on the bed when you haven’t even cleaned up yet?
Li Shuyao cried and angrily bit the man's slender neck exposed in front of her.
I don’t know what vital part the man was bitten on, but his breathing paused for a moment, and then suddenly became heavier.
Li Shuyao:?
She is like this, and this man can still be excited.
Still, are you still a human being?
She ignored him.
Thinking of this, Li Shuyao stopped worrying about her clothes and hairstyle. She simply loosened her grip on the collar, turned over unhappily, hugged her belly and hid under the quilt.
Like a squirrel in winter.
The emperor sat up and was almost laughing because of her.
Who bit his Adam's apple first?
After biting him, she was still angry.
...and she will become more and more spoiled because of the favor she receives.
However, considering Li Shuyao's body, the emperor reached out and dug Li Shuyao out from the layers of quilts to prevent her from suffocating herself inside.
Li Shuyao was still holding her belly with both hands.
After being dug out, she puffed out her slightly red cheeks and pouted with dissatisfaction.
But I stopped crying.
She lay there quietly for a while, then suddenly wiped her face with a corner of the quilt, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean it..."
She thought for a moment, then pointed to her belly and said, "I think maybe I'm really pregnant, otherwise I wouldn't be so unable to control my emotions."
"So if the emperor wants to blame someone, just wait until he comes out, and then you can blame him, okay?"
I would rather die than let my friend die.
After beating the kid, you can't beat her anymore.
Li Shuyao's little abacus was clattering.
The emperor sat on the edge of the bed, looked down at her, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard several chaotic footsteps outside the room.
The person Liang Jiugong sent to invite the imperial physician has returned.
The emperor could only show a regretful expression and stood up to make room for the bed.
Tian Jiarou, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, crawled over at this time, carefully lowered the curtains on both sides of the bed, and then held Li Shuyao's hand and stretched it out of the bed. She was about to turn around and say something to the imperial doctors who came in.
Li Shuyao quickly withdrew her hand.
The emperor stood beside:?
He said, "How can the imperial physician feel your pulse if you don't extend your hand?"
Li Shuyao: Yes, she subconsciously forgot.
Seeing my wrist exposed, I naturally felt insecure, as if it would be grabbed by a ghost hand in the next second...
Stop, don't think any further.
Li Shuyao pursed her lips and stretched out her hand again tremblingly. Through a small gap in the curtain, she saw someone putting a silk handkerchief on her wrist.
Then there was a wrinkled hand.
After taking her pulse, the hand was quickly withdrawn and replaced by another person's hand. After repeating this several times, Tian Jiarou came over, took the silk handkerchief off her wrist, held her hand and put it back inside the curtain.
Li Shuyao heard that the imperial doctors outside seemed to be gathered together and discussing something.
Then there was another "dong dong dong" sound, as if someone was kneeling on the ground, and they were shouting: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, the young lady on the bed is already more than two months pregnant, and in a few days she will be three months pregnant!"
Li Shuyao covered her belly in shock.
It’s been three months, how come the little brat is so good at hiding!
