When Mrs. Wu heard this, she couldn't hold on any longer. This was the grandson she had been waiting for for so many years. She was so anxious that she felt dizzy and swayed. Mother Zheng quickly supported her and said anxiously, "Madam, please hold on."
Xu Zekun's heart was torn as if by a knife, as if it was chopped apart by an axe. He closed his eyes and told himself that he must not panic at this moment. This was his and Susu's child, and he must protect it.
After thinking about it, he had some idea. When he asked for reward from the emperor before, the emperor gave him a lot of medicinal materials, including a Danshen pregnancy-protecting pill.
He opened his eyes and stared at the imperial physician without blinking. His voice was very calm, but it trembled slightly when he listened carefully: "If there is a Danshen Baotai Pill, can it save the child?"
The imperial physician was delighted to hear this. Salvia miltiorrhiza is a holy medicine for prenatal preservation. It contains dozens of precious medicinal materials such as Salvia miltiorrhiza, Tianshan Snow Lotus, ginseng and antlers.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If we have this medicine, the probability can be increased by another 50%."
Yao Susu's pulse condition was extremely dangerous, and even with the pills to preserve the pregnancy, the imperial physician did not dare to guarantee it.
But these words were enough to save Xu Zekun, who was on the verge of despair, and he quickly sent someone to get the pregnancy-preserving pills.
Even the old lady had ignited hope. She held onto Mother Zheng's hand and watched them find the pregnancy-preserving pills, crush them, dissolve them in water, and then feed them into Yao Susu's mouth. Only then did she feel relieved.
The lights in Yingxue Pavilion were on all night, and the noise was so loud that even the Marquis came over to investigate the matter.
Xu Zekun was worried and just explained the reason lightly. He had already made up his mind to divorce the county lady, but the most important thing now was Susu and the baby in her belly.
Right now... he doesn't have the energy to do anything and just wants to go back and take care of them.
When Wu heard that it was Fang Yanran who did it, she immediately became furious: "Fang Yanran? Aren't we being kind enough to her? Is she trying to make our Xu family extinct?" Then she stood up and said, "Go find some clothes. I want to go to the palace and see the Queen!"
Wu was furious. She never expected that Fang Yanran would be so vicious and did not take their Marquis' Mansion seriously at all!
The Marquis finally calmed down and said, "That's enough! Don't you think it's not chaotic enough now?!"
The child in Yao's belly is indeed precious, but it is not enough to go to the queen for it!
Mrs. Wu also knew that she was impulsive, but she was really angry!
Her eyes widened as she stared at Ning Yuanhou: "This is our own grandson, and he was harmed like this by Fang Yanran! I have endured this for so many years, do I have to endure it again? Xu Changli, are you afraid of the imperial concubine? I tell you, you are afraid, but I am not! I am going to find the queen!"
Seeing that Wu had completely lost her mind, Ningyuan Hou's voice trembled with anger. He pointed at Wu and said, "You...you woman, you are really unreasonable!" After that, he turned away and left without caring anything more.
Wu lost all her composure and just cried. Xu Zekun felt heartbroken. He helped his mother up and said, "Mother, you should go back and rest early."
His calm demeanor made Wu worried. She held his arm and said, "Ziling, you have to hold on. Yao will be fine, and the child will be fine too. Don't scare me."
Xu Zekun shook his head, hummed, and said, "Son knows."

Fang Yanran lay on the bed in a daze, looking at the mandarin duck bed curtains above.
The commotion in Yingxue Pavilion was so loud that everyone in the house knew about it. Mrs. Yao had a miscarriage and was very likely to have one.
Fang Yanran was not as happy as she had imagined. She even felt a little panic and fear in her heart. How could this happen? She had only made Yao kneel for a while, so how could it be so serious?
She was terrified alone, but still maintained her proud appearance.
Qingxing stood quietly by the bed, serving, but did not go forward to say a word of comfort.
She was slapped by Fang Yanran today, and her heart was completely cold.
She had said so much, but what had she gained? Well, she would never say it again.

Xu Zekun stayed with Yao Susu all night, during which time Yao Susu still had some bleeding from her body.
The imperial physician was also on guard at the Marquis's residence. He prescribed a medicine to preserve the pregnancy for Yao Susu, but because Yao Susu had been sleeping the whole time, only a small part of the medicine was taken.
Xu Zekun held Yao Susu in his arms and saw that she was unconscious. Her usually clear and bright eyes were tightly closed, and her long eyelashes cast a leaden shadow under her eyes. Her thin eyebrows were still slightly furrowed, as if she was still enduring pain in her sleep.
Xu Zekun felt a pang of pain in his heart, and caressed her tender little face tenderly.
"Master, what should I do? Auntie can't drink it."
Yuping was holding a red-glazed porcelain bowl with twined branches, her eyes red with anxiety.
Xu Zekun was still staring at Yao Susu's face. He wiped the corner of Yao Susu's mouth with the clean handkerchief in his hand and said in a light voice: "Leave the medicine and go out."
Although Yuping saw that the old man's face was calm, she seemed to be able to feel the turmoil in Xu Zekun's heart.
If the baby in my aunt's belly can be saved, it's fine. If not...
I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm in the Marquis' Mansion.
She didn't dare say anything more, put down the bowl, and went out.
Only Yao Susu and Xu Zekun were left in the room.
Xu Zekun picked up the bowl of medicine, took a sip, then leaned over and pressed his lips against Yao Susu's.
After feeding the medicine, Xu Zekun did not rinse his mouth. It turned out that the medicine was so bitter. Thinking of the countless bitter medicines Yao Susu had drunk to protect her pregnancy, the bitterness in his throat seemed to reach his heart. He felt a dense pain in his heart, and the pain in his heart made him almost unable to breathe.

The old lady was not feeling well and could not hold on any longer and returned to Shou'an Hall. However, after such a serious incident, she could not sleep well. At dawn, she got up and called the maid Ziyuan over, asking anxiously, "Is there any news from Yingxue Pavilion?"
Ziyuan had naturally been hanging over there all the time, and upon hearing this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. The imperial physician said that Concubine Yao's baby is safe."
"Okay, okay." Wu said "Okay" twice, and her heart, which had been hanging in the air all night, finally settled down. Then she felt an endless fatigue surge in her heart. Ziyuan saw the old lady leaning against the headboard, her face not looking good, and stepped forward and said, "Old lady, please rest a little longer. It's still early."

Yingxue Pavilion
When Xu Zekun heard the imperial physician's diagnosis, he said that the fetus had been saved, but he still had to be extremely careful and it was best to rest in bed and not be frightened.
He stroked his face, but his mind was not relaxed yet, because Yao Susu had not woken up yet.
"When will Yao wake up?"
"My aunt is weak and has had a miscarriage, but she has been asleep for a long time and will probably wake up soon."
Yao Susu was sleeping soundly. Although it looked like she had lost a lot of blood, that was actually just an illusion created by the system. Apart from some soreness in her legs from kneeling for a long time, she felt no other discomfort.
But when she woke up, she was still in a state of panic: "Ah!"
She sat up suddenly, as panic-stricken as a wounded cub.
Xu Zekun hurriedly hugged her. Seeing that she was having a nightmare, he kept calling out, "Susu, Susu, wake up, I'm here."
Yao Susu leaned in Xu Zekun's arms, tears streaming down her face before she could even speak. Her eyelashes trembled as she delicately called out, "Master..." Then, with a look of panic on her face, she placed her hand on her pregnant belly, "My child."
