Standing outside the door, Yinzhen seemed to be moved by the scene, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Just after Qingyan left, he came to Li Jingshu's place and stood straight outside the door without asking anyone to announce his arrival.
As soon as I arrived, I heard Li Jingshu crying inside the house.
Speaking of which, Li Jingshu has been with him for a long time and has given birth to four children for him, but now only Hongshi remains by his side.
Yinzhen waited until the crying gradually subsided before he sent someone to announce his arrival.
Li Jingshu quickly wiped away her tears and rushed to the door to greet them.
However, her red eyes and smudged makeup betrayed her recent loss of composure.
“I have confined the Fujin to her quarters and taken back her management of the household. The Nian Consort is pregnant, so you will be in charge of the household during this time. I will have Lady Geng help you.”
Li Jingshu opened her mouth to refuse, but Yinzhen raised his hand to stop her.
After that, Yinzhen left for Geng Youran's courtyard, where Geng Youran had just fallen asleep.
"Your Highness, the princess has just fallen asleep. Please have some tea first, and I will go and wake her up."
Qianxue had no idea how the prince arrived while she was simply preparing ingredients in the small kitchen.
"No need, you go ahead with your work."
After saying this, Yinzhen went into the inner room. He saw that Geng Youran was asleep, so he didn't wake her up. He just slept fully clothed by the bedside.
When Geng Youran woke up, she was already in Yinzhen's arms.
"ah!"
Yinzhen was awakened by Geng Youran's scream. Qianxue, who was at the door, wanted to come in when she heard Geng Youran's voice, but was stopped by Gao Wuyong.
"What, you don't recognize me after only a few hours?"
"Your Highness, when did you arrive? I don't remember at all."
Yinzhen pressed Geng Youran, whom he had just remembered, back onto his arm.
"I haven't slept for almost a day and a night. It's quiet here, come and rest for a while."
Geng Youran was speechless. What did she mean by "it's quiet here"? This place wasn't a temple.
"My lord, why don't you rest, and I'll go and make you some soup."
Geng Youran had just sat up when Yinzhen pressed her back onto his arm.
"Don't move!"
Neither You Ran nor You Ran dared to move, so the two of them stubbornly remained in that position and slept for another hour or so.
The two woke up, ate something, and then went together to see Niohuru Wanru.
It was already close to evening by then.
"This servant greets Your Highness and Princess Geng."
"Get up, how is your princess?"
Huang Li followed behind Yinzhen and Geng Youran, answering as she walked:
"The princess has woken up and just ate something. The imperial physician has already started preparing her medicine."
Upon entering the inner room, the two saw Niohuru Wanru lying on the bed in a daze. Seeing Yinzhen and Geng Youran enter, she hurriedly tried to sit up, but Geng Youran quickly stepped forward and pressed her back into the covers.
"You just had a miscarriage and your body is still weak, so don't worry about those formalities."
Wanru bit her lower lip, trying hard not to let the tears fall, nodded with a forced smile, and then lay back down.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Hongli. You just need to take good care of yourself and don't overthink things."
Wanru looked up at Yinzhen beside her, nodded, and said nothing more.
Yinzhen remained silent from the moment he entered the room, looking at Niohuru Wanru with a complicated expression.
Given what happened a few hours ago, it's impossible for him not to suspect her.
A miscarriage led to the discovery of Ulanara's repeated plots to harm the imperial heirs over many years; this was no coincidence.
But Niohuru had already miscarried, and what Ulanara had done was true, so he didn't want to dwell on it anymore.
"You Ran, take good care of Wanru. If you need anything, just ask Gao Wuyong. I have court tomorrow, so I'll be going back to my study now."
"I understand."
Because Xiao Anzi had been staying in Niu Hulu Wanru's courtyard the whole time, Huang Li called him to guard the gate, while she and Qianxue went to the small kitchen to keep an eye on the medicine, leaving Geng Youran and Wanru in the room to have a private conversation.
"Sister, why are you doing this to yourself?"
Wanru's lips stiffened:
"Sister, what do you mean? I don't understand."
Geng Youran sighed and said:
"Hey, I know your pregnancy is fake. You're deliberately trying to find the murderer who killed your child, aren't you?"
Niohuru Wanru suddenly sat up:
"Sister... Sister, how did you know?"
“Xiao Anzi discovered it long ago, and I also guessed that you were using this desperate method simply to get the truth. I also know that you won’t give up until you find the truth. Rather than exposing you and making you feel bad, it’s better to take good care of Hongli for you so that you can rest assured.”
Upon hearing this, Wanru burst into tears.
“Sister, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I’ve wanted to tell you this many times, but I knew that if it were exposed, I would be in big trouble. Not only would my child be implicated, but you would also be neglected by the prince. So I didn’t tell you the truth. I’m sorry!”
After guessing, Geng Youran thought to herself that it was exactly as she had imagined.
"Wanru, I'm angry not because you hid things from me, but because you don't care about yourself at all. Hongli is still young. Do you really want to hand him over to someone else? I'm just a princess, and I already have a son. Can you guarantee that the prince won't hand Hongli over to anyone other than me?"
Upon hearing this, Wanru felt a chill of fear.
Yes, she couldn't be sure that the prince would definitely hand Hongli over to Geng Youran.
"elder sister!"
Her eyes widened, startled by Geng Youran's words.
Seeing that her warning had some effect, Geng Youran did not continue speaking.
She then called Xiao Anzi over and asked him to check how the medicine was being prepared.
"Princess, the medicine is here!"
Coincidentally, Huang Li came in at that moment carrying the medicine, followed by Qian Xue.
Qianxue helped Geng Youran lift Wanru up, and then Geng Youran took the medicine and fed it to Wanru spoonful by spoonful.
Seeing Geng Youran blowing on her medicine with a serious expression, Wanru felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Good medicine tastes bitter. If you find this medicine really hard to swallow, I'll make some nourishing food for you and bring it over later to help you recover."
“I am already very grateful that my sister came to take care of me personally. How could I trouble her to make those elaborate meals for me?”
Geng Youran said with a smile while feeding him:
"I may not have many other skills, but I can cook. You just need to take good care of yourself. You've lost so much blood this time, so you must take good care of yourself to avoid any lasting effects."
Wanru couldn't dissuade Geng Youran, so she had no choice but to go along with her.
