Ye Xunzhi had just taken Su Ruojin's pulse and found that both the adult and the child were fine, which put his mind at ease.
However, childbirth is a life-or-death experience for women. Even if Su Ruojin is a doctor, she will be too busy to take care of herself. Ye Xunzhi will naturally be worried and will definitely rush back to Da Chu.
Su Ruojin understood Ye Xunzhi's concerns and naturally wouldn't refuse. She also hoped that she could see her masters when her child was born.
By then, Fifth Master's face will have recovered, and returning to Great Chu for a while won't affect his care for Cang Lei.
"Okay, then I'll wait for Master. Master, please don't tell Xiao Yanchu, okay?" Su Ruojin reminded him again, still worried.
"Okay, if anything happens, just send me a message and I'll be there as soon as possible."
"Okay, Master is the best to me." Su Ruojin's voice carried a hint of coquetry.
"Alright, alright, I'll go get some pills later, you can take them." Ye Xunzhi's tone was both helpless and indulgent.
Su Ruojin knew that her master was going to prepare some pills to nourish her pregnancy. Although she could prepare these pills herself, she would not refuse since they were prepared by her master's own hand and carried his affection.
Leaving Jinghuang Lodge, Xiao Yanchu asked curiously, "Ajin, what did Master say to you?"
"It's nothing. My master just told me to be careful, and then he gave me all the herbs and pills he had brought." Su Ruojin felt a little guilty, and her eyes were somewhat unfocused.
Fortunately, the master really did give her some herbs and pills, so he wasn't lying.
Xiao Yanchu didn't ask anything more, but a doubt flashed through his mind: if that was all, why did Master call Ajin in alone?

The entire palace and Longxiao City were busy preparing for the new emperor's ascension to the throne.
In the princess's residence, Yuening lay on the bed, her face drained of color from the torment of illness.
Apart from the ginseng soup that Mu Hua forced down her throat, Yu Ning couldn't eat anything at all because of the pain. She had long since become so thin that she was practically skin and bones.
"Ahhh—!" Another wave of pain hit, and Yuening tore at her hair, pulling out clumps of it.
The pain from having her hair pulled was nothing compared to the pain in her chest and head.
Right now, she feels like there are thousands of knives inside her body, each one coated with a poison that amplifies the pain tenfold, cutting, stirring, and chopping at every inch of her skin and every bone.
"Mu... Mu Hua, please, please... call the Imperial Preceptor..." Yu Ning used all her strength to grab Mu Hua, who was carrying a bowl of medicine to the bedside.
Mu Hua gently pried Yue Ning's hand away. "Princess, you don't know yet, do you? The Imperial Advisor is dead."
The Imperial Advisor is dead?!
Yuening simply couldn't believe it.
"You...you lied to...me, I'm going to...I'm going to kill you!"
"Kill me? Heh, Xiao Yuening, do you think you're still the Princess Yuening you used to be? Let me tell you, Ji Yanzhuo is nothing but a bastard born from the affair between Empress Dowager Wu and the Imperial Advisor. He and Empress Dowager Wu are currently imprisoned in the palace, awaiting the new emperor's judgment."
As for you, hehe, don't be afraid. After all, we've been master and servant. I'll definitely serve you the finest ginseng soup every day, and I'll make sure the princess lives a good, good, life!
Mu Hua spoke each word with deep resentment.
Seeing Yuening's pain during this time, Mu Hua's hatred subsided a little.
She couldn't let Yuening die so easily. She wanted Yuening to live in this pain for as long as possible and to taste what it was like to be tortured!
