"Your Majesty, I... I have a stomachache..." she suddenly cried out, clutching her stomach.
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng finally came to his senses and quickly helped her up. "What happened? Why does your stomach hurt all of a sudden?"
"I...I don't know either..." Wen Ruyi said, her heart filled with anger and resentment.
His reaction to seeing her stomach pain was surprisingly indifferent.
"Could it be that I've disturbed the pregnancy?" she asked through gritted teeth.
Gu Heng was extremely surprised. "You stayed in the Cold Palace for so long without any problems with the pregnancy. How come you've already had problems after just one trip outside the palace? Could it be that you ate something bad this morning?"
Wen Ruyi nearly ground her teeth to powder, but could only swallow her anger and grievances. "I...I don't know either. Perhaps we should return to the palace first?"
Gu Heng glanced reluctantly in the direction of Atuo Jianghua and Wen Nongnong, then thought for a moment and picked her up in his arms. "I'll have someone fetch the imperial physician for you, so you don't have to travel back and forth and worsen your condition."
Wen Ruyi was secretly furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as he carried her into a nearby pavilion.
The commotion here naturally alerted Gu Linchao and the others.
Gu Linchao was still a little stunned when Wen Nongnong suddenly kissed him. But when he saw Gu Heng and the other person, he took Wen Nongnong's hand and walked over. A Tuo and Jiang Hua also followed, carrying their swords.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Upon entering the pavilion, Wen Nongnong and A Tuo Jianghua bowed to Gu Heng one after the other.
Gu Heng stared at the two of them, his expression momentarily blank.
He used to think Wen Nongnong was crude and brainless, but later at the palace banquet, she stole the show and even killed the assassin.
Judging from these points alone, she does not meet his aesthetic standards and appreciation of women.
But today, she surprised him greatly. She could play the piano and sing. Just now, when facing the royal uncle, she showed a woman's playful and gentle side, and she was even so good at being coquettish...
He suddenly felt that women should be like her.
Although A Tuojianghua amazed him today, he still prefers a woman like Wen Nongnong.
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
Why did such a woman become the Emperor's woman?
He couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Seeing that his gaze lingered on Wen Nongnong for a long time, Gu Linchao frowned, shielded Wen Nongnong behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly leave the palace?"
Gu Heng came to his senses and smiled, "I haven't been to my uncle's residence for a long time, so I wanted to come and see it. I originally wanted to play chess with my uncle, but..." He paused, his expression turning pale, "Consort Liu suddenly had a stomachache."
His tone was helpless, but Wen Ruyi could detect impatience in it.
He wasn't like this before he left the palace, but after seeing Wen Nong Nong and A Tuo Jiang Hua, he changed.
She was both shocked and angry, yet helpless.
Gu Linchao said, "Consort Liu is pregnant with the imperial heir, so we cannot be careless. Since she is unwell, Your Majesty should take Consort Liu back to the palace and summon the imperial physician to examine her."
Gu Heng frowned, about to refuse, when Wen Ruyi spoke first: "Your Majesty, this concubine... this concubine is truly feeling unwell..."
Gu Heng suddenly regretted why he had brought her out of the palace with him today.
He felt deeply that she was a nuisance.
But she was carrying the imperial heir, so we couldn't be careless. We had no choice but to help her up and say, "In that case, let's go back to the palace first."
As he walked outside the pavilion, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Wen Nongnong, "What was the name of the song that my aunt just sang?"
