Turning her head, Jiaming saw Xiao Hezi, who had also heard Li Shi's suspicious behavior from the Pear Courtyard but was relieved after the imperial physician refuted it as a normal joke. She was speechless. "You should have more confidence in your master!"
Xiao Hezi smiled wryly. "I hadn't witnessed your power before, otherwise I wouldn't have been worried at all." However, after this incident, he finally understood just how formidable his master was.
Because the imperial physician said that morning sickness would not affect the offspring. If the master had not said those words to him personally, and if he had not personally arranged for someone to do it, he would probably have believed the imperial physician's words, that it was just normal morning sickness, just a little severe.
On the seventh day of her morning sickness, in the luxurious house, Li lay on the bed, starving and feeling utterly miserable.
Even though she possessed martial arts skills and internal energy to protect her, after six days of depletion, all of that energy was gone.
As if the heavens themselves sensed Li's desolation, snow began to fall. Li looked at the pure white snowflakes through the slightly open glass window, but the usual joy of appreciating the snow was nowhere to be found.
Feeling the chill seeping in, the biting cold made Li shiver uncontrollably.
Hungry and cold
!
As a concubine of the Fourth Prince's household, and the wife of one of the only two princes in the household, Lady Li suffered such a tragedy! She was cold and hungry!
She was hungry, and she vomited everything she ate. How could she not be hungry! For the first time, Li felt disgusted with the child she had been carrying and who she had previously liked.
Why did she get pregnant? If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she wouldn't have been vomiting everything she ate, wouldn't have been so hungry that she couldn't get out of bed and could only lie there, and wouldn't be getting cold now.
Li's lips moved, but no sound came out; clearly, she was so hungry that she couldn't even speak.
She looked expectantly at the two newly promoted maids and gestured with her eyes, "Quickly close those glass windows for me!"
Unfortunately, the two newly promoted women did not understand Li Shi as well as Xiang Yu and Xiang Yun did, and they were completely unaware of Li Shi's subtle hints.
Li was starving, cold, and furious. These two maids were truly despicable, negligent, and deserving of death...
Outside the window, the snow fell heavier and heavier, as if providing a backdrop for Li's desolation, matching her current situation perfectly.
Okay, fine, if you don't close the windows, at least light a couple more braziers in the house, right?
Driven to despair by hunger and cold, a sudden urge for warmth caused Li's limp body to twitch slightly.
Her pale lips moved slightly, but just like last time, no sound came out.
However, the two newly promoted maids understood the meaning behind Li's expectant gaze.
One turned and left, while the other stayed behind, diligently watching over and protecting Li.
A short while later, the maid who had gone out brought in the food.
Li was furious! The anger in her eyes grew stronger and stronger, but unfortunately, the two maids who couldn't understand her gaze thought she was starving and her eyes were shining.
"Master, let Xiangcao help you up." The tragic Li was helped up by the person who called himself Xiangcao.
"Master, this is chicken porridge, it's been simmering for a long time." As he spoke, another person immediately scooped up a spoonful of chicken porridge and brought it to Li's mouth.
As soon as Li smelled the odor, she vomited again.
Li, who had only been eating a little bit of liquid food for six days, vomited up nothing at all; it was mostly just a bunch of acidic water!
In Peach Courtyard, Jiaming deliberately sent away Granny Sun, who had been sent by the Fourth Master, and listened to the news coming from Pear Courtyard. She was in a great mood!
Originally, she was worried about the child in Li's belly and only wanted to play a prank on her to collect some interest, but she always felt that the "interest" was too little. In fact, she was not very satisfied with it.
Now, hearing the news coming from the Pear Garden, she felt that the interest she had received from the Li family was enough.
Jiaming is indeed a newcomer to the household, but Xiao Hezi under her is a formidable figure, and Xiao Hezi also has formidable subordinates.
That was a message from a seemingly honest but actually very perceptive spy who could read people's expressions and even understand lip reading.
Li was both hungry and cold, and the maidservants were inconsiderate, unable to read between the lines or understand lip reading. Despite the cold weather and snow, they hadn't considered that their mistress might be cold and had asked to close the window.
.
They told them to light two more braziers, but they misunderstood her meaning and fed her food, causing her to vomit up the little bit of food she had managed to eat the night before.
Finally, as he vomited, he vomited so much acid that he was vomiting bile all over the floor!
Jiaming is watching the show, watching the good show that she secretly directed!
The princess consort and the women in the inner courtyard were also watching the play, and everyone was quite satisfied with Li's tragedy.
"pity!"
Hongtao, who had been following the unfortunate Li Shi, was puzzled and asked, "What is Master regretting?"
"It's been seven days already!" Jiaming said with regret.
Red Heart: "..." What does that mean? She doesn't understand!
Seeing that Xiao Hezi and Hongtao were both puzzled, he immediately explained, "If it goes on for too long, it will cross my bottom line. Seven days is just right!"
Jiaming secretly wished to prolong the time so that Li would suffer even more.
But what could she do? She was pregnant. She hated Li Shi, but Li Shi was Li Shi, and a child was a child. Although she was still a mortal, she would still take her anger out on Li Shi's child.
She still doesn't like her child, but despite her dislike, she can still control herself and avoids harming innocent people if possible.
That medicine only works on Li in the short term, but in the long run, it will still affect the baby in her womb. Seven days is just the right amount of time; she should stop now.
On the eighth day, Li found that she was able to eat, although she was still vomiting, but not as badly.
Having filled her stomach and regained her strength, she quickly asked someone to close the windows and reheat two braziers in the room.
With a sigh of relief, Li finally felt warm. Her gaze swept over her stomach, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
After seven days of tragic life, Li completely hated the child.
When the two newly promoted maids saw that Madam Li had ignored them and given instructions to the other servants, their faces turned pale. They realized that they had done many wrong things in the past few days, including not taking good care of their mistress. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg Madam Li for forgiveness.
Li glared fiercely at the two women, ignoring their pleas for mercy. She immediately unleashed her fury, punishing the two maids who had failed to serve her properly by having them beaten to death.
Upon hearing the news from Pear Courtyard, the women in the back courtyard didn't say much about the death of someone there, but they were annoyed that Li Shi had stopped vomiting so quickly.
They hadn't had enough of the show, hadn't gloated enough, so why was Li Shi doing so well!
If it were three more days, oh no, half a month, cough cough, actually two or three months would be just as good!
However, on the third day after Li Shi recovered and was no longer in a tragic state, Li Yuan once again became the focus of the household's attention.
In Peach Garden, Jiaming was reclining on the bed, listening to Granny Sun talk about things in Peach Garden.
Xiao Hezi hurried in, and Granny Sun immediately stopped talking.
"My lord, something has happened at the Pear Courtyard! Prince Hongjun is in trouble!" (To be continued.)
