Su Ruojin calmed herself down and slowly regained her senses. When she remembered what had happened, she exclaimed inwardly, "Oh no!"
She fainted from exhaustion; someone must have already checked her pulse.
Whether it's Yan Luo or the imperial physician, there's only one outcome.
That means Xiao Yanchu knew about her pregnancy.
If she wasn't mistaken, Xiao Yanchu was angry right now, and really angry!
Thinking of this, Su Ruojin forced a smile and whispered to Xiao Yanchu, feeling a little guilty, "I'm hungry."
This was the first time Xiao Yanchu had seen a fawning expression on Su Ruojin's face. He snorted coldly, "So you do know what hunger is? I thought my queen was fearless and practically a goddess."
Oh no, she's definitely angry.
Su Ruojin cautiously probed, "You know?"
"What do you know? Do you know that my princess is capable, that she was more than three months pregnant and didn't tell me? Or do you know that my princess was pregnant and ran to Mo Han without regard for her own safety?" Xiao Yanchu's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
Su Ruojin knew Xiao Yanchu well and knew that he was quite angry.
Sigh, I got myself into this mess, so I have to deal with it myself.
You have to coax your own man.
"Yanchu, I'm hungry," Su Ruojin said pitifully again.
Xiao Yanchu glanced at her, then got up and walked to the table, scooping over a bowl of yam and red date porridge.
Su Ruojin reached out to take it, but Xiao Yanchu moved the bowl away, scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it, and fed it to Su Ruojin's lips.
Su Ruojin obediently opened her mouth to drink the porridge, taking a sip at a time. Before long, the bowl of porridge was empty.
"I want more." Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu with her big, blinking eyes.
Xiao Yanchu turned around and scooped over a bowl of chicken porridge, then blew on it and fed it to her spoonful by spoonful.
After finishing her second bowl, Su Ruojin felt much better and smiled at Xiao Yanchu, saying, "I'm full."
Xiao Yanchu didn't say anything, but turned around and scooped a bowl of chicken soup over, blew on it and fed it to Su Ruojin, "The imperial physician said that pregnant women need to eat more to nourish themselves."
Su Ruojin didn't dare to argue and obediently drank the whole bowl of chicken soup again, and also ate some chicken. She really couldn't eat any more now.
"Eat when you're hungry tonight." Xiao Yanchu finally put down the bowl in her hand, her tone still somewhat cold.
However, seeing that Ah Jin could eat made him feel a little relieved.
Taking advantage of the situation, Su Ruojin hugged his hand and rested her head on Xiao Yanchu's arm. "Don't be angry. I was just afraid you would worry."
"You're afraid I'll worry, so you won't let me know? Who was it that said we should be honest with each other? If that's the case, when I go to the battlefield one day, I won't tell you because I'm afraid you'll worry, is that okay?" Xiao Yanchu didn't break free from Su Ruojin's hand.
“That’s different. If you go to the battlefield without telling me, I can sneak off to find you. But if I’m pregnant and don’t tell you, you can’t be pregnant for me. If I told you I was pregnant early on, you would have to treat me like a fragile vase all the time. I don’t want that kind of lack of freedom. Otherwise, I would get prenatal depression.”
Xiao Yanchu didn't understand what pregnancy depression was, but she knew from the name that it wasn't a good thing.
He thought about it and realized that if he had known Ah Jin was pregnant before, he certainly wouldn't have let her run around like that anymore.
Given Su Ruojin's personality, how could she be in a good mood if she were locked up in the Prince's mansion?
Xiao Yanchu slowly sat down, and Su Ruojin leaned against his shoulder like a clingy kitten.
Xiao Yanchu sighed, raised his hand and put his arm around Su Ruojin's shoulder, letting her lean against him. His voice was filled with affection and helplessness.
“Ah Jin, I’m not entirely angry with you. I’m also angry with myself. I’ve tried everything to protect you, but I still couldn’t do it. You’re pregnant and still have to run around everywhere. It’s my fault.”
Su Ruojin snuggled against Xiao Yanchu's chest. "Yanchu, don't forget what we said back then: we're the same kind of people. We love the outside world and don't want to be trapped in one place. No matter what happens, I just want to stand by your side and face this world with you."
I do not wish to be like other women, whose husbands are out fighting while they are left alone in the courtyard waiting in vain. Yanchu, that is not me.
