Chapter 75 Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Crown Princess! [40]
Si Jinxuan couldn't plant spies in the Eastern Palace, but Si Jinye could arrange spies in his Prince Rui's residence.
Therefore, nothing that happened at Prince Rui's residence could escape Si Jinye's eyes.
Because Achu mentioned Shen Jingya to Si Jinye, she learned about what happened at the Prince Rui's mansion.
"Has Shen Jingya been imprisoned by Prince Rui?"
Achu was somewhat surprised.
In the original storyline, the male lead, Si Jinxuan, was incredibly devoted to Shen Jingya!
Even after Si Jinxuan ascended the throne, in order to balance the court officials, he bestowed many concubines upon them, but he still said that he only loved Shen Jingya.
Why is Si Jinxuan so readily abandoning Shen Jingya now?
Si Jinye hummed in agreement: "What Shen Jingya did implicated Si Jinxuan. In addition, she went from being the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Zhongyi to a concubine's daughter. She lost her usefulness, so he naturally abandoned her without hesitation."
Achu rested her chin on Si Jinye's chest, looked at him with her beautiful eyes, and asked:
"If one day you recover and no longer have headaches or tinnitus even without being near me, then will I lose my usefulness?"
Several months after their marriage, Si Jinye slept in the same bed with A Chu every night, and they had many intimate encounters.
The old doctor Wu Ming visited several times, and Si Jinye's health improved more and more.
Even if he doesn't spend the day with Achu, his headaches and tinnitus have lessened considerably compared to before.
Wu Ming even thought that, given time, the toxins in Si Jinye's body might dissipate on their own.
If that day really comes, Si Jinye will indeed have no need for A Chu.
When Si Jinye heard A Chu ask this, he lowered his eyes and met her gaze.
"Are you equating me with Si Jinxuan?" He was a little displeased.
Achu snorted, "Everyone says that the imperial family is ruthless, but you and Prince Rui are half-brothers..."
Before she could finish speaking, Si Jinye flipped her over and pinned her down, showering her with kisses.
Si Jinye only released A Chu after kissing her so much that she could hardly breathe.
He looked down at Achu and said seriously, "Even if you lose the ability to stop giving me headaches, I will not abandon you."
Ah Chu blinked and asked, "What if I lose the ability to stop your headaches, and then a girl appears who can stop your headaches?"
Seeing that A Chu seemed quite serious about his question, Si Jinye thought for a moment and then answered:
“Then I will hand her over to the old man so that he can use the woman’s blood and bones to study and see if it can be made into medicine.”
Achu: "..." Very good, this is very Si Jinye.
"Then why didn't you treat me that way?" she asked, somewhat curious.
Si Jinye: "I thought about it at first, but I was worried that the old man wouldn't be able to make any useful medicine, so I couldn't bear to give it up."
He paused, then continued, "Later, I felt even more reluctant to part with you. I even felt heartbroken when you bled during your period..."
"Tan'er, you just need to remember that no matter what, I will never abandon you, much less hurt you."
Si Jinye's gaze was too intense, and A Chu turned her head away as if she had been burned.
Her ears turned red, and she replied, "I understand."
Si Jinye looked at her red earlobes, which resembled ripe fruit, and his eyes darkened.
He bent down and took it in his mouth.
Another long entanglement ensued—
.
No matter how much Shen Jingya couldn't accept it, Si Jinxuan's wedding date arrived, and the wedding was held as scheduled.
As the Crown Princess, A Chu naturally attended the ceremony and met Miss Fang, Fang Ming.
Fang Ming's appearance did not conform to the aesthetic standards of this era, and standing next to the handsome Si Jinxuan, she appeared even more out of place.
But she has a gentle temperament and calm eyes.
It gives people a rather comfortable feeling.
Ah Chu overheard people whispering among themselves.
"This Miss Fang is quite lucky to have married Prince Rui."
"Yes! It's all thanks to Miss Fang's pickiness that she was able to marry Prince Rui at such an advanced age."
"It's such a shame for His Highness Prince Rui! So handsome and dignified, yet he married someone with such a face..."
Some young ladies are quite sour.
Despite Si Jinxuan's current state, there are still quite a few people who want to marry him.
However, Consort Jiang looked down on the family backgrounds of those young ladies.
Some people defended Ms. Fang, saying, "Ms. Fang has an outstanding family background and exceptional talent! You're just being sour grapes!"
"Exactly! You're all so beautiful, so why doesn't Prince Rui marry you as his princesses?"
"Do you dare to speak louder, preferably so that the Prime Minister can hear us?"
Upon hearing this, the few sour young ladies dared not utter a word.
After all, Fang Ming was Prime Minister Fang's most beloved daughter.
After the ceremony, it's time for the banquet.
Ah Chu only ate two bites before she couldn't eat anymore.
She hasn't had a good appetite lately.
Upon returning to the East Palace, Si Jinye heard that A Chu hadn't eaten much at the banquet, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare some food for her.
As soon as Achu put the food in his mouth, he felt nauseous and vomited it out.
Si Jinye's expression changed drastically. He hugged A Chu and immediately turned to call out to the guards, "Go and bring the old man here! Quickly!"
The guards obeyed and left.
Si Jinye pulled A Chu onto his lap, stroked her face, and asked, "Where do you feel unwell? Did you eat something you shouldn't have at the banquet?"
He was worried that someone had poisoned Achu.
Ah Chu's face was pale and her eyes were red because she had just vomited.
Her eyes were watery and she looked very fragile and delicate.
Achu shook her head: "No, I just feel a little nauseous, but it should be nothing serious, don't worry."
How could Si Jinye not be nervous? He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if A Chu were poisoned...
That outcome was something he absolutely could not bear!
Wu Ming was quickly brought over by the guards.
He had barely landed and was still catching his breath when Si Jinye urged him, "Quickly take her pulse!"
Si Jinye only regretted that he hadn't learned any medical skills and didn't know how to take a pulse.
Seeing his pale face and Ah Chu's ashen complexion, Wu Ming felt a surge of anxiety.
He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and went forward to take Achu's pulse.
Wu Ming closed his eyes, first frowning, then relaxing them, then frowning again.
Ah Chu was alright, but Si Jinye's mood fluctuated along with his frown.
"How is it?" he couldn't help but ask Wu Ming.
Wu Ming finally opened his eyes, a big smile spreading across his face, his wrinkles appearing much deeper.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Crown Princess!"
Si Jinye was getting impatient and was about to ask what was so congratulatory when Wu Ming continued, "The Crown Princess is pregnant!"
Achu actually had some guesses in her heart, so when she heard Wu Ming say that, she only showed a faint smile.
Si Jinye, however, who was almost demonically intelligent, didn't immediately understand what Wu Ming meant.
He asked instinctively, "What joy?"
I felt my arm being patted right after I asked the question.
Si Jinye looked down and saw that it was A Chu who had patted him.
Achu glared at him reproachfully: "Doctor Wu is saying that you're going to be a father."
Si Jinye's mind went blank for a moment.
A rare look of blankness appeared in his eyes.
Granny Hua and Eunuch Shou, standing nearby, also smiled and offered their congratulations: "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Crown Princess! Our Eastern Palace is going to have a little master!"
