Later that evening, the carriage slowly departed from the Ulanara old residence. Qingyan leaned on Yin's shoulder, feeling somewhat distressed. The relationship between Lady Gioro and her maternal family had soured, and the three Lady Gioro ladies were still trying to extract benefits from her.
"Fourth Brother, Mother's health is not good. If Father were to return to the capital to see her, would that be alright?!" Qingyan sighed.
He patted Qingyan on the back to reassure her.
"Little darling, you can't send a message to your father-in-law yet. Didn't you realize that your mother-in-law is faking illness?" Finally, Yin also took a look at Jue Luo Shi and found that her eyes did not look like she was sick. Only then did he remember that this might be Fei Yanggu's instruction.
Qingyan was taken aback. Why would the Jueluo clan do such a thing?
"Fourth Brother, are you really sure?" Qingyan wanted to confirm that her mother's health was excellent. "Mother's complexion is very poor."
In fact, Lady Jue Luo used pearl powder prepared by Qing Yan for makeup. She certainly wouldn't have given herself away in front of the three ladies of the Jue Luo family. The three of them were only concerned with their own interests. Who would care about an aunt who had been married for decades?
"Yes, little darling, you don't need to worry. If she really feels unwell, the imperial physician will definitely inform us!" When Yin heard that Jue Luo was sick, he specifically asked Su Peisheng to inquire with the imperial physician who had examined her pulse. The only information he received was that the imperial physician should declare to the public that she was feeling unwell but did not have any illness.
Qingyan felt relieved and looked at the night view outside the window, feeling very relaxed.
"It's a good thing that Father won't be back before the Golden Festival." Qingyan is pregnant, so she needs to be extra careful. Therefore, Yin will often stay by her side.
Yin held Qingyan tightly in his arms, listening to her complaining.
Before Qingyan could even catch her breath, she saw a horse galloping towards her carriage from outside the window. A beam of white light flashed, and all she heard was the horse's neigh before it collapsed.
Upon hearing the noise, Yin quickly followed Qingyan's gaze and saw a horse lying on the ground outside the circle of guards.
If she were going out alone, she certainly wouldn't be accompanied by so many guards; the act of startling the horse must have been successful.
At this moment, Yin felt a wave of fear. They must have been watched since they secretly left Changchun Garden. In addition, there might be spies of those people in the Ulanara family's old residence. Otherwise, why would these people have timed their actions so perfectly?
"Four! Four!" Qingyan's face turned pale, and she felt a surge of fear.
"Bayan, go investigate!" Yin coldly looked at the dead horse that had already fallen to the ground. Even though the clues about the horse itself had been covered up, some clues could still be found on it.
Outside the circle of guards, a number of commoners had already gathered to watch. They noticed the royal insignia on Yin's carriage and whispered about the unexpected incident, but they wouldn't let Yin and the others hear them. After all, everyone has a gossipy nature.
"Master, the road has been cleared. Shall we go back?" Erlu asked respectfully.
Yin gazed at Qingyan with a slightly questioning look, hoping to do as she wished.
"No!" Qingyan didn't want to return to Changchun Garden. She wanted to go to a quiet place to properly imagine how she would navigate among her sisters-in-law during the Banjin Festival.
"Go to Yuelai Inn." Yin gave the order directly, preparing to go to Yuelai Inn first.
The carriage turned around and headed straight for the Yuelai Inn.
At this moment, he was in a bad mood, as this accident was clearly aimed at Xiao Guai.
On the road, the people watched the carriage speed away, and once they were far away, they began to point and whisper, and various discussions spread among the people.
Upon arriving at the Yuelai Inn, Qingyan trembled all over and was carried away from the carriage by Yin.
Inside the private room, Su Lan specially lit a brazier for Qing Yan and placed it next to the soft couch so that she could stay warm.
Qingyan was wrapped in a thick cloak, and he held the little one tightly in his arms.
"Su Peisheng, fetch Imperial Physician Yuan!" Yin hurriedly ordered.
Su Peisheng stood at the door and quickly glanced at Qingyan, whose face was very ugly.
Qingyan closed her almond-shaped eyes, leaning weakly on Yin's shoulder, her whole body limp. Her little hand touched her belly; this child had truly suffered so much.
"Fourth Brother, will this child be alright?" Qingyan's soft voice rang out.
Yin lowered his head and noticed that Qingyan's complexion was not good. He took a cup of warm water and offered it to Qingyan to warm her up.
Half an hour later, Imperial Physician Yuan rushed over from home. When he saw Qingyan's appearance, his heart skipped a beat. Something had happened to the Fourth Princess Consort.
Yesterday, after he told Emperor Kangxi the news of Qingyan's pregnancy, Emperor Kangxi was very happy and instructed him to take good care of Qingyan's child and ensure its healthy birth.
"Fourth Prince, Fourth Princess Consort was frightened, so the baby's emotions are fluctuating along with hers," Imperial Physician Yuan advised, urging Qingyan to calm down, as the first three months are crucial. "There's already a risk of miscarriage; Fourth Princess Consort should rest and recuperate!"
"After the Golden Festival, we need to rush back to the naval port. Can the Princess Consort come with us?" Yin asked in a low voice.
"Fourth Master, don't worry, it's best to rest quietly for ten days!" Imperial Physician Yuan glanced at him and comforted the Fourth Master.
Yin nodded: "Let the Princess Consort get some rest!"
Imperial Physician Yuan nodded secretly. Yin had instructed him to speak more harshly in front of Kangxi. It was said that the three ladies of the Jue Luo clan had gone to the Ulanara clan's old residence to cause trouble.
"This servant must go back and report to His Majesty. Is there anything you wish to convey to this servant?" Imperial Physician Yuan glanced at Qingyan, who was certain that he would not be able to move for at least the next two days.
"I'll take Qingyan back in four days!" Yin said lightly, without even glancing at Yuanyuan.
Qingyan closed her eyes and listened to Physician Yuan's words, feeling fortunate. If she hadn't discovered the problem and drunk the water from the space beforehand, this child would probably be gone.
In recent years, she has rarely used anything related to her space, because she doesn't want to rely on external forces. She worries that one day, her space might be taken back, and she won't be able to adapt.
The twins were very healthy, having been well-fed in the womb. Now, this little one has developed health problems as soon as he was discovered.
"Little darling, everything will be alright. Just take good care of yourself. When you first got Yiken'e, something happened too, didn't it?" Yin quickly said.
Qingyan nodded, becoming even more careful, afraid that her actions might hurt the child.
Yin ordered Bayan to investigate the matter, and there should be results before dinner. The buying and selling of horses is now strictly controlled, and even dead horses will leave traces of their owners.
"You need to calm down and take care of your health!" Yin patted Qingyan's back, letting her lean against him and fall asleep comfortably.
With his gentle comfort, Qingyan slowly drifted off to sleep.
