Upon seeing this, Yunfang immediately handed Yushan a handkerchief and brought her a bowl of water to rinse her mouth.
Su Yushan felt a sour taste in her stomach and felt very uncomfortable. Yunfang hurriedly asked the palace servants if the ingredients were fresh.
The palace servants said the black-boned chicken had just been slaughtered that day, and all the ingredients were fresh.
Despite her discomfort, Su Yushan said, "The soup is fine, it's just that I don't have an appetite. Take it away!"
Seeing this, Chang Yue couldn't help but ask, "Is Master pregnant?"
Yongzhang is already six years old. Su Yushan has not been pregnant again in recent years. She thought she would not get pregnant again. Could it be that she really is pregnant this time?
Su Yushan wasn't sure, because she had drunk two cups of plum juice at noon, and she suspected that her stomach was upset because she had drunk too much sour stuff.
Yunfang thought guessing was useless, so she asked the imperial physician to examine her pulse, and then she knew the cause.
Then Yunfang asked Xiao Luzi to fetch the imperial physician.
Summer rains always come exceptionally fast; just moments before, dark clouds gather and a downpour begins.
Su Yushan thought this wasn't a big deal and there was no need to make people run around at this time.
"Alright, I'm not feeling so bad right now. I'll go and call the imperial physician again tomorrow when the rain stops!"
“But you vomited after only taking a sip of soup. I’m worried that you’re not feeling well.”
Xiao Luzi said it was nothing, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. But I am a strong person and a little rain won't hurt me. I will go out and fetch the imperial physician right away."
He was about to leave when his master called him back, "Come back, you are not allowed to go. If I am really seriously ill, I will naturally let you go."
His master forbade him to fetch the imperial physician, and Xiao Luzi dared not disobey his master's wishes. He looked at Yun Fang with difficulty, and Yun Fang immediately waved her hand, telling him to go out first.
Yunfang thought that if Yushan was really pregnant, then vomiting would be normal.
Chang Yue thought about it carefully and realized that her mistress hadn't had her period for two months. However, her periods were usually irregular, so no one paid much attention to it.
But the master never vomits normally, so it does seem like that's a possibility.
“The Third Prince has grown up. It would be nice if we could give him a younger brother.”
Su Yushan already has three children, each one a precious treasure to her. She doesn't particularly crave more, but she knows Hongli does.
"It's not certain yet! Don't tell the Emperor yet, lest he get his hopes up for nothing."
Chang Yue nodded and smiled, "This servant understands. Of course, this kind of thing should be discussed with the Emperor by Your Majesty personally."
Su Yushan sighed with a helpless laugh, "It's not confirmed yet! Why are you all talking as if I'm really pregnant? Wouldn't it be very awkward if I weren't?"
Yunfang said with great certainty, "Judging from this situation, it's probably true, there's no mistake."
The rain was pouring outside the window. Su Yushan walked to the window and saw that the wind was blowing and the rain was slanting in the courtyard. The rain was like sharp knives. If Hongli came over in such heavy rain, he would have to take both a carriage and a boat. He would probably get soaked.
After thinking for a moment, Su Yushan sent someone to deliver a message to Hongli, saying that the rain was too heavy today and it was inconvenient to travel. He could stay overnight at Yanbo Zhishuang Palace and did not need to come over.
After delivering the message, the young eunuch returned. Su Yushan inquired about the situation, and the young eunuch truthfully replied:
The Emperor only replied with one sentence: "I understand."
If they know, they probably won't come, right? Yu Shan didn't have much of an appetite, so she gave the order: don't cook too many dishes tonight, just one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
To everyone's surprise, Hongli returned half an hour later! Su Yushan looked at him in shock.
"Didn't you say you weren't coming?"
There weren't many raindrops on him, but his boots and the hem of his clothes were clearly wet from the rain.
Su Yushan told him to change his clothes first, but he grabbed her hand instead.
Yu Shan felt a chill in her hands, as if she were holding a block of ice.
She didn't feel cold in her stomach either; instead, she held his hand and gently rubbed it to warm it up.
Hongli smiled and replied, "Who said I wasn't coming?"
"Back then, I sent Xiaosongzi to deliver a message, and you said you knew?"
"Knowing doesn't mean I agree. You really don't want to see me?" Hongli asked knowingly. Su Yushan glared at him and huffed.
"I was just worried you'd get wet in the rain!"
"What's a little rain? Why make such a fuss?" He was fearless, but Su Yushan was full of concerns.
"You might catch a cold if you get caught in the rain! I'm worried about your health!"
Hongli asked seriously, "Is your health more important, or are you more important?"
Without hesitation, Su Yushan replied, "Of course, health is more important!"
With a slight smile, Hongli lowered his voice and said, "Are you worried that I won't be able to take care of you if I get sick?"
She had only said it casually, yet he was already overthinking things. Su Yushan chuckled shyly.
"You're the most indecent one! You're almost thirty, not a young man anymore. You need to be more careful and not take your health for granted."
He didn't like hearing that. "What do you mean by 'almost thirty'? What are you implying? That I'm too old to take care of you?"
She didn't mean that at all. Su Yushan felt wronged. "Don't misunderstand me. I just didn't want you to get sick from the rain, that's all."
However, Hongli ignored her explanation and said in a deep voice, "Tonight I will prove to you just how brave a man who is almost thirty can be!"
"..." She was just trying to be kind, so how did he take it so far?
Su Yushan sighed inwardly, "If a person's thoughts are not proper, they can misinterpret anything they hear."
She was too lazy to argue with him, lest he steer the conversation further astray. "Go change your clothes first, dinner will be served soon."
With Emperor Hongli's arrival, several more dishes naturally had to be added.
The table was laden with Su Yushan's favorite dishes, but she barely touched them tonight. When Hongli offered her food, she politely declined.
"Eat more, don't worry about me. I ate some pastries a while ago, so I'm not very hungry right now."
Hongli believed it to be true and did not insist.
After dinner, the two washed up and went to bed. Hongli naturally pulled her into his arms, his high nose gently brushing against her earlobe.
Recalling what happened today, Yu Shan subconsciously turned her head away, "Sigh—not tonight."
"Why?" Hongli asked in surprise, "Are you menstruating?"
Su Yushan shook her head, "Not yet!"
"Then why not?" Hongli reached out and touched her forehead, asking if she was feeling unwell.
She shook her head again, smiling shyly, "No, not really!"
"Then what is it? Is something on your mind?"
Hongli was puzzled. Su Yushan was still hesitating whether to tell him or not. After all, the matter was not yet confirmed. If she guessed wrong, wouldn't she make him wait in vain?
