Su Ruojin grabbed Xiao Yanchu's arm. "I'm fine. I probably caught a chill when I came back and got some heatstroke. I'll be fine after taking some medicine. Is there a better doctor than me in Longxiao City?"
Even so, Xiao Yanchu was still worried and immediately helped Su Ruojin up so she could lie down and rest.
Yanluo and Hu Qing returned. Seeing that Su Ruojin's face was a little pale, Yanluo stepped forward nervously and said, "Your Highness, let me take your pulse."
Su Ruojin laughed and scolded, "Don't you know my body better than I do?"
Yanluo chuckled awkwardly, "I was just worried about the Princess."
"I'm fine, I'll just take some medicine for a cold. By the way, Yanluo, you like crab, there's some crab-stuffed oranges that the innkeeper sent over. I don't have an appetite, but you can try some, they won't taste good if they get cold," Su Ruojin said.
Xiao Yanchu was too worried about Su Ruojin to enjoy the crab-stuffed orange anymore. He gave his share to Hu Qing and stayed by Su Ruojin's bedside.
Hu Qing knew that Yan Luo liked to eat crab, so he pushed his own portion to Yan Luo, saying, "I don't like to eat crab, you eat more."
Yanluo was somewhat embarrassed, "How could I eat this much by myself?"
Hu Qing said, "Not much, not much, just two small oranges. If you don't eat them, no one else will. It's such a waste."
Yan Luo rolled her eyes at Hu Qing, picked up a small spoon and started eating, while Hu Qing watched Yan Luo with a silly grin.
Su Ruojin saw all of this and said to Xiao Yanchu with a smile, "Let's get their marriage arranged when we get back to Da Chu."
Xiao Yanchu nodded, "Okay, I'll do whatever Ajin says."
Having followed Hu Qing through thick and thin for so many years, Xiao Yanchu decided to go back and prepare a generous betrothal gift for Hu Qing to help him win the heart of his beloved.
I must say, the crab-stuffed orange was really delicious, and Yanluo finished it off very quickly.
Hu Qing noticed that Yan Luo liked to eat it, so he quickly went to find the waiter and ordered five.
Hu Qing originally wanted to order ten or twenty crabs for Yan Luo, but he knew that crabs were cold in nature and that people shouldn't eat too many, so he reduced the amount.
When the waiter heard that Hu Qing wanted to order five, he was slightly taken aback, but then quickly agreed, "Okay, I've got it. I'll definitely deliver them to you tomorrow."
Su Ruojin felt a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap. Xiao Yanchu tucked her in and said, "Ajin, take a nap. I'll stay with you."
"good."
With nothing else to do, Xiao Yanchu took out a book, sat on the edge of the bed, and started reading, keeping Su Ruojin company.
Hu Qing and Yan Luo tactfully withdrew, closing the door behind them.
The room fell silent instantly, with only occasional soft noises from the guests outside, which actually made it easier to fall asleep.
Su Ruojin looked at Xiao Yanchu's profile, his features were distinct, his thick eyelashes drooped, casting a faint shadow on his eyelids, and a blush rose on her face.
As if sensing Su Ruojin's gaze, Xiao Yanchu looked up at her, his eyes filled with affection, and his voice gentle, "Good girl, go to sleep, you'll feel better when you wake up."
Su Ruojin hummed in agreement, slowly closed her eyes, and silently said in her heart: Yanchu, you're going to be a father.
Previously, Su Ruojin had taken her pulse when no one was looking.
She was pregnant, just over a month ago.
She dared not tell Xiao Yanchu about this at this time, otherwise, given how worried Xiao Yanchu was about her, he would definitely tie her up and take her back to Da Chu immediately, and would not let her leave the Regent's Palace again.
Xiaoyue's matter hasn't been resolved yet, and she doesn't want to go back and be trapped in the palace.
She knew her own body well. Since she was a child, her master had always forced her to take various tonics to regulate her body, making her much stronger than ordinary women. In addition, she knew how to take care of herself, so there was nothing wrong with her.
Besides, she is a doctor and can examine herself, so she won't be exposed for a while. Let's wait until we return to the Great Chu. By then, her parents should be back too.
Su Ruojin was worried because she thought about how nervous her mother and grandmother would be if they found out she was pregnant, and they would stop her from doing this and that.
Lost in thought, Su Ruojin drifted off to sleep.
