Most people would avoid such a situation, but Su Gege didn't shy away from it and repeatedly pleaded for Lan Gege. While it seemed like a deep sisterly bond, the truth was probably that Su Gege was only trying to protect Lan Gege because Lan Gege was of use to her!
Cui Ning's guess was like a needle, slowly piercing into her heart. Another wave of abdominal cramps hit Gao Xiuwen, causing her to break out in a cold sweat. She clutched her abdomen tightly and couldn't straighten up for a long time.
Gao Xiuwen couldn't help but wonder if it was Xilan who bumped into her that Hongli punished her by making her copy scriptures. If it was Su Yushan who bumped into her, he probably wouldn't even be willing to punish her by making her copy scriptures, and would even defend Su Yushan.
Seeing this, Cui Ning felt distressed and immediately stopped talking. "Princess, what's wrong? Is your stomach hurting again? It's all my fault for being so careless. I shouldn't have told you these things. You should lie down and rest. Don't hurt yourself because of those people!"
After lying down and resting for a while, Gao Xiuwen felt a mix of emotions. Silently recalling Cui Ning's words, Gao Xiuwen felt more and more that her child had been wronged. Why should her child have to bear the burden of their conflict?
When the medicine was brought over, she refused to drink it. Hongli didn't care about her, so why should she drink the medicine?
After learning the truth, Granny You called Cui Ning out and scolded her, "The princess is recuperating. Why are you telling her all this nonsense? Without any evidence, you're just making the princess unhappy. Are you doing this for her own good or harming her?"
Cui Ning explained softly, "This servant just couldn't stand how Consort Su defended Consort Lan."
"No matter how much she defends Princess Lan, in the end, it is still the Fourth Prince who makes the decisions. Do you not even approve of the Fourth Prince?"
Granny You's words left Cui Ning speechless, and she said timidly, "This servant dares not."
Shaking her head and sighing softly, Granny You continued:
"I know you're standing up for the princess, but as servants, we should just do our duty and serve our masters well. Stop scheming and thinking about other things. Instead of fighting with others, you should advise the princess to win over the fourth prince's heart!"
After scolding Cui Ning, Granny You went back into the room to persuade her mistress to drink her medicine.
"Princess, forgive this old servant for speaking out of turn, but the child is already gone. It's pointless to investigate whether it was fate or human intervention now. You must know that men are fickle. With your health issues these past few months, it's perfectly normal for Fourth Master to be close to that woman in Huatang Pavilion. After all, with less time together, feelings naturally fade."
This is only natural, you don't need to be sad about it. The most important thing now is to take good care of yourself. After a month or so, once you've finished your postpartum confinement and are fully recovered, you can continue to serve Fourth Master. Then, will you still have to worry about not having children?"
Although the old woman's words were unpleasant to hear, they were the truth. In order to go further in the future, she could not be stubborn and had to follow the doctor's advice and take the medicine to regulate her body.
Although she took the medicine, Gao Xiuwen remained sullen all day.
That night, Hongli came to keep her company as usual. She was always polite and would take the initiative to talk to him even when she was not feeling well. But this time, she felt really uncomfortable. The thought of Hongli's favoritism towards Su Yushan made Gao Xiuwen feel uncomfortable. She kept a cold face and didn't say a word.
Hongli thought her condition had worsened, so he asked her how she was feeling. "If there is no improvement, I will invite a royal physician to come and treat you tomorrow."
