Chapter 34 Stomachache

Jun Zecheng's face turned ashen in an instant, with anger burning in his eyes.

He suddenly raised his voice, with uncontrollable anger in his voice, "What's going on!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around impatiently and strode out. His steps were so hurried and frantic that they even created a gust of wind.

Before the young eunuch could reply, he saw Jun Zecheng disappear at the door of the side hall.

Upon seeing this, Imperial Doctor Li's heart tightened, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly followed the prince with slightly heavy steps, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

I'm really confused tonight, but obviously Concubine Su is the most important!

At this time, Ling Yue still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Jun Zechen would plead for her in front of the Queen.

But when she saw Jun Zechen's expression change drastically when he heard the news about Su Jingyao, she felt a surge of loss and bitterness in her heart.

"Your Highness..." She wanted him to stop.

Tang Fengyi almost had a miscarriage just now, but he was not moved at all.

Does Aze care about the royal heir or Su Jingyao?

When the queen heard that Su Jingyao had a stomachache, she was also extremely worried.

There must not be any problems with Su Jingyao's pregnancy!

But since the prince has already gone to Xiyan Palace, she naturally has to stay with Tang Fengyi and handle the matter properly.

Xiyan Palace.

Jun Zechen was extremely anxious, and he rushed there almost at a flying speed.

Doctor Li followed behind him, already panting and almost unable to keep up with his pace.

Jun Zechen rushed into the hall and walked straight to the bed.

Doctor Li also hurried over, knelt down beside the bed, and began to carefully take Su Jingyao's pulse.

Jun Zechen stood beside the bed, his eyes fixed on Su Jingyao.

The little woman's brows were furrowed, her eyes were tightly closed, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

His body was still trembling slightly, as if he was in great pain.

"What's going on!"

Jun Zechen's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a kind of suppressed anger, as if it could erupt at any time.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not long after my master came back, he started to have a stomachache. At first, it was just a stomachache."

"But Tang Fengyi almost had a miscarriage, and Doctor Li was treating her, so the master thought she just had to endure it. But later, the master's stomach hurt more and more, so I hurriedly sent someone to call Doctor Li over." Miaoyun said as she knelt aside.

Jun Zechen's brows were furrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were full of anger, and his voice became low and hoarse because of anger.

"You should have told me immediately when your master felt sick! Such a dereliction of duty..."

Without waiting for Jun Zechen to finish his words, Su Jingyao slowly opened her eyes, with a hint of fatigue and weakness in her eyes.

Her voice was weak and pleading.

"Your Highness, I thought it was nothing at first, I just thought it was just some flatulence, so I didn't ask Imperial Doctor Li to run around. Your Highness, please don't blame my maid, okay?"

Jun Zechen looked at Su Jingyao's pale face, the anger in his heart subsided a little, and his expression became solemn.

Doctor Li felt the patient's pulse and felt somewhat puzzled, but he did not show it on his face.

His eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao's wrist, his fingers gently placed on her pulse, moving slightly from time to time, as if he was carefully exploring something.

There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the concubine's pulse?

"My Lady, how do you feel now?" Doctor Li raised his head and looked at Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, a painful expression appeared on her face, her lips trembled slightly, and there was a hint of pain and uneasiness in her voice.

"My stomach hurts a lot, it comes and goes, and I feel a little bloated, and my lower abdomen feels so tight and hard."

These symptoms were told to her by Li Jing. If pregnant women are exposed to motherwort for a long time, it will cause uterine contraction, and in severe cases, it may even cause bleeding.

When Doctor Li heard the concubine's answer, his heart sank. These were all very bad feelings.

His brows furrowed even more tightly, and while deep in thought, Doctor Li noticed the palace dress hanging on the hanger at the bedside.

This palace dress was very close to him, and seemed to have a herbal smell?

Doctor Li slowly moved over, almost sticking to it. He wrinkled his nose slightly and sniffed the smell carefully.

Then his face changed drastically and showed a look of horror.

He turned to Miaoyun and asked, "What kind of palace dress is Concubine wearing tonight?"

"Yes, Doctor Li, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get this palace dress a few days ago. It was specially worn for the Crown Prince's birthday banquet." Miaoyun replied quickly.

Doctor Li stood up in a panic, without saying anything, he immediately picked up the pen and wrote a prescription for a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine containing motherwort.

His hands were shaking slightly and his face was full of tension and anxiety.

If the concubine had worn this palace dress for a few hours, it would have been extremely bad for the fetus in her womb. She would be lucky if she didn't give birth prematurely.

After Doctor Li finished writing the prescription, he immediately ordered someone to boil it.

Jun Zechen did not disturb him. He stood quietly by the side, staring closely at Doctor Li.

He put his hands behind his back, his fingers curled slightly unconsciously. After Doctor Li finally finished his instructions, Jun Zechen asked in a calm voice, "How is the concubine?"

"Your Highness, the concubine's palace dress smells of motherwort, which has the same effect as safflower and is extremely harmful to pregnant women."

Doctor Li had a serious expression and a frown on his face.

Afterwards, he continued, "The baby is doing well, Concubine. Although it was exposed to motherwort today, there are no particularly serious signs at present. However, motherwort is very harmful to the mother's body. I have already ordered someone to boil a medicine that combines the medicinal properties of motherwort to stabilize the pregnancy."

After Jun Zechen heard this, his eyes, as deep as a dark pool, suddenly burst into a penetrating chill, as if they could freeze everything.

His gaze fell on the palace dress like a sharp blade, his eyes were filled with anger and murderous intent.

These women are really looking for death!

When Su Jingyao heard what Doctor Li said, her face was filled with fear and horror, and her eyes were filled with uneasiness, "Your Highness..."

Jun Zechen quickly sat down beside the bed and held her in his arms. His movements were gentle yet firm.

"I will investigate thoroughly. No matter who it is, if they dare to harm our children, I will not let them go!"

After the pregnancy-stabilizing medicine was ready, Miaoyun carefully brought the bowl over. Jun Zechen took the bowl, frowned slightly, and looked at the black medicine juice with a feeling of distress in his heart.

Su Jingyao suppressed her bitterness and slowly drank the medicine.

After drinking it, she used honey flower tea as usual to cover up the bitter taste of the medicine.

Her head rested lightly on the man's shoulder, her body trembling slightly.

Jun Zechen hugged her gently, his eyes full of heartache and pity, and his hand gently stroked her hair.

"Be good, don't be afraid. Before Yaoyao gives birth, I will let Doctor Li take full responsibility for your food, clothing, housing and transportation. I will not miss any details. I will never let Yaoyao get into any trouble."

Su Jingyao hummed sullenly and stopped talking. She just leaned quietly in Jun Zechen's arms, as if only this could make her feel a little at ease.

At this moment, Miaoxia walked in with an anxious look on her face, her steps a little flustered.

She knelt on her knees and said, "I pay my respects to Your Highness."

"Your Highness, I am responsible for the master's palace dress. Just now, the imperial physician said that there was something wrong with the palace dress. I carefully checked it and found that someone had tampered with it. The person was Ru'er, a maid in Xiyan Palace."

Having said this, Miaoxia's voice paused slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes.

"But when I went to look for her just now, I didn't see her. I heard that someone saw Ru'er in the lotus pond after the master attended the banquet. I hurried to look for her, but I only found Ru'er's body."

When Su Jingyao heard the word "corpse", her body began to tremble involuntarily, as if she was about to fall like a leaf in the wind.

Tears began to accumulate rapidly in my eyes, and then burst out like a flood.

She let out a soft sob, "Your Highness...I'm so scared, wuwu..."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine."

Jun Zechen's eyes were cold and his anger was rising, but facing the little woman's crying, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and try to make his voice gentle to comfort her.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen's voice became low and majestic, "An Shun, go check."

"Yes." After hearing the order, An Shun immediately turned around and went out, starting to order people to investigate the matter.

Jun Zechen felt that the woman in his arms was still trembling, so he waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

Upon seeing this, Miaoyun quickly led everyone out.

Only Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao were left in the bedroom.

"Don't be afraid, take a nap, I will be with you."

Jun Zechen's voice was so gentle that it seemed to melt ice and snow. He gently stroked Su Jingyao's hair, making her feel extremely at ease.

Jun Zechen gently laid the woman from his arms onto the bed, his movements as gentle as if he was protecting a precious treasure.

He slowly stood up and prepared to take off his outer robe.

Su Jingyao noticed his movements and immediately stretched out her little hand to hold him tightly, "Your Highness, don't go..."

There was a hint of urgency and pleading in her voice. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of helplessness and attachment.

"I'm not leaving. I'm just going to take off my outer robe."

Jun Zechen's voice seemed particularly gentle and patient today.

After hearing him say this, Su Jingyao slowly let go of his hand, still with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Jun Zechen took off his outer robe, opened the quilt, lay down in the quilt, and held the sweet and soft little woman in his arms.

His broad and warm embrace gives the woman in his arms endless peace of mind, and his big hands gently caress her belly.

Su Jingyao hugged his neck and buried her face deeply in the man's neck, "Your Highness, I'm sorry..." There was a hint of self-blame and guilt in her voice.

"Why do you say sorry?" Jun Zechen frowned slightly.

"Today is your highness' birthday, but so many things happened. Your highness should be happy today, but your highness has so many troubles today. I feel very distressed."

Su Jingyao's voice was muffled, but full of sincerity.

It was the first time that Jun Zechen heard someone tell him that they felt sorry for him.

Even when he returned victorious from his battles outside the Great Wall, her mother only praised him and was proud of him, and never felt sorry for him.

But today, the woman in his arms, although clearly frightened, felt sorry for him for not having a happy birthday.

In fact, Jun Zechen didn't care about his birthday. In previous years, he had celebrated his birthday in a grand manner because of his noble status. He had to entertain his father, the emperor, his mother, his ministers, and his brothers. He had never been very happy.

"As long as you and your child are safe, I will be very happy. Don't think too much. Get some sleep. I will be able to handle everything."

Jun Zechen stroked her back gently, his voice low and firm.

Su Jingyao responded softly and gradually fell asleep in his arms.

Jun Zechen watched her fall asleep peacefully and began to think about Ling Yue again. If he had left at that time, how would his mother punish Ling Yue?

He looked down at the woman in his arms again.

Forget it. I'll go and ask for mercy from my mother tomorrow.

Su Jingyao, who was in Jun Zechen's arms, just felt very good.

She guessed that An Jinyan would launch a counterattack today. In terms of scheming, Ling Yue was indeed no match for An Jinyan.

However, Ling Yue had been with Jun Zechen for three years after all, and Jun Zechen had always appreciated Ling Yue's innocence in his heart and had a certain degree of trust in her.

If Jun Zechen was in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this time, even if the evidence was conclusive, Ling Yue might not suffer any great loss if he protected her.

So she was determined to call Jun Zechen away.

After Jun Zechen left, the Queen would naturally not let the Crown Princess go easily. When Su Jingyao thought of this, a trace of anticipation surged in her heart.

How will the Queen punish the Crown Princess?

There is no way An Jinyan could get away with this incident unscathed, and how could Jun Zechen not seek redress from An Jinyan for the injustice that Ling Yue had suffered?

Su Jingyao could already guess Jun Zechen's dislike for An Jinyan.

Tomorrow, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince investigate Ru'er carefully. Maybe he can find out a lot of unexpected things.
