"Your Highness, I wish you good fortune."
"Get up. It's so late, and you've troubled the imperial physician to make this trip. Thank you for your trouble."
"Your humble servant would not dare."
"Consort Nian said she hasn't been speaking very calmly lately, could you take a look at her?"
"Yes, sir."
In front of Yinzhen, Nian Yunrong could not refuse, so she had no choice but to extend her wrist for the imperial physician to examine.
Meanwhile, Qingyan, who was standing nearby, secretly slipped a purse into the imperial physician's sleeve when Yinzhen and Gao Wuyong were not paying attention.
To become a royal physician, one must not only possess superb medical skills, but also be able to quickly assess the current situation.
Feeling the weight of the purse in his sleeve, the imperial physician immediately understood Nian Yunrong's intention.
"Your Highness, Consort Nian is already deficient in both qi and blood, and the liver qi stagnation will affect her sleep. However, since Consort Nian is now pregnant, and medicine has some toxicity, I suggest that it is best to use dietary therapy to regulate Consort Nian's body."
"Liver stagnation and qi stagnation" and "dietary therapy" immediately brought two people to Yinzhen's mind.
It wasn't that Yinzhen was suspicious, but anyone would overthink things once those two words were mentioned.
"In that case, I'll trouble the imperial physician to make the trip. Gao Wuyong, see the imperial physician out!"
"Your subject takes his leave."
Nian Yunrong thought her illness was perfectly convincing and was about to ask Yinzhen if he could stay and keep her company that night when she saw Yinzhen stand up and say:
"Since that's the case, then you should rest well and go to bed early. Tomorrow, I'll have Lady Geng come over to see if she can provide some dietary therapy recipes. She helped Wanru with her treatment before, and it worked quite well."
Nian Yunrong was displeased, but she couldn't show it.
"How could I trouble Sister Geng? My mother knows a little about food therapy. I wonder if you would agree to bring my mother here to help take care of her? Besides, I will be giving birth in two months."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Qingyan tugged at her sleeve from behind.
Why is my master bringing up something I shouldn't be talking about? If it weren't for Lord Nian's sake, the Prince would have dealt with the old lady long ago for what she did.
Yinzhen remained silent, glanced at Nian Yunrong, and then left.
Seeing that Yinzhen had left, Nian Yunrong immediately became aggrieved.
"Your Highness is so biased. All I wanted was to bring my mother into the manor to be with me during childbirth, but Your Highness got angry."
Although it was somewhat presumptuous, Qingyan still felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.
"Consort, you were confined to your quarters because of the abortifacient, have you forgotten already? Although you didn't want to do it, don't forget that the old lady gave us the medicine. If it weren't for Lord Nian, the old lady would definitely have been punished for her words. Now you're proposing to bring the old lady over, aren't you just walking into the line of fire!"
Nian Yunrong's face turned pale, and she shakily sat down on the couch next to her.
Yes, how could she have forgotten about that? No wonder the prince's expression changed just now.
After leaving Nian Yunrong's courtyard, Yinzhen went to Geng Youran's place.
Before even entering the door, one could hear Geng Youran playing with the child.
"This servant greets Your Highness, may Your Highness be well!"
Just as Yinzhen was about to raise his hand to stop Qianxue from paying her respects, Qianxue spoke first.
When Geng Youran heard that Yinzhen had arrived, she hurriedly grabbed her outer garment to put it on, but Yinzhen had already entered the room.
"What's going on with you two, mother and daughter?"
"Your Highness, may you be well!"
"Amman!"
"Good boy, Hongzhou!"
Yinzhen stepped forward and patted his son's head, while Geng Youran hurriedly explained from the side:
"I missed Hongzhou a bit, so I had the nanny bring her here, thinking she could sleep here for the night. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
I always slept with Hongzhou secretly because, according to the rules, children have to sleep alone once they get a little older.
"Alright, get up. I'm not blaming you."
Geng Youran got up and helped Hongzhou put on his outer garment. Then she called Qianxue over and carried Hongzhou back to the nanny.
"My lord, you're still up so late. Is there something you need me to do for you?"
Yinzhen chuckled:
"What, can't I stay here overnight?"
“Look at what you’re saying, sir. I didn’t mean that at all. It’s just that Qianxue happened to run into Eunuch Gao just now, and he said you were with Consort Nian.”
Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to bring Hongzhou over.
"She is already having a hard time because of her pregnancy, and the imperial physician just said that she has liver qi stagnation and needs to rest. It is not convenient for you to stay there, Your Highness."
Geng Youran thought to himself:
"Then you really don't understand women's minds."
"What did you say?"
"No, I didn't say anything."
"But you're right, I do have something I need you to do."
"Please speak freely, Your Highness."
Geng Youran helped Yinzhen, who was standing, change his clothes while responding to him verbally.
"The imperial physician said that since Consort Nian is pregnant, it is not suitable for her to take medicine. It would be best to use food therapy instead. I remember that you helped Consort Niohuru with her health before, so I thought you could help Consort Nian with this as well."
Geng Youran couldn't understand what Yinzhen was thinking. Consort Nian had always disliked her, and asking her to help her improve her health was just a joke.
"I know what you're worried about. With me here, just do what you need to do."
Since Yinzhen had said so, Geng Youran had no reason to continue refusing.
"Then I will do as you say, sir."
Yinzhen smiled and nodded, then hugged Geng Youran in his arms.
The next morning, Geng Youran got up after Yinzhen left.
"Princess, it's still early, you can sleep a little longer."
