Madam Xu frowned and pulled her back, "Don't think your mother is being long-winded. This is your first pregnancy, you have no experience at all, and pregnancy and childbirth are not as easy as you think. You can't be careless at all."
Wen Nongnong nodded obediently, "I understand, I will be extra careful."
Madam Xu was relieved, but then she thought of something and said, "Lü Qiao is still a child and has no experience in this area. I'm afraid she won't be able to take good care of you. I think it would be better to let Aunt Ding come and serve you. She has been with me for so long and is very experienced. I can feel more at ease with her taking care of you."
Wen Nongnong knew Ding Mama; she was Xu Shi's dowry maid, and she had raised her and her two siblings. She was indeed very experienced.
"But wouldn't that be inconvenient?" she asked with some concern.
“If there’s anything inconvenient, just have her take care of your meals and some other things to be mindful of. Otherwise, if you don’t need her, just tell her not to be around to serve you,” Madam Xu said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong had no choice but to agree, "Alright." To be honest, she really had no experience, and Gu Linchao was blind and unable to take care of her.
Having settled this matter, she remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Grandmother didn't say anything about moving to Xiangzhou this time, did she?"
Madam Xu shook her head. "No, she's figured it out now. Besides, she's getting on in years, so why make things difficult for the younger generation? She still needs us to take care of her in her old age."
He probably figured things out, and his mind became much more peaceful; he stopped mentioning Wen Ruyi.
"That's good." Wen Nongnong was relieved.
After exchanging a few private words, the mother and daughter left the house.
However, when the two went out, Gu Linchao and Wen Shiqing, father and son, were no longer in the room. Only Old Madam Wen and Lu Yingying were sitting there talking.
"Where are the prince and the others?" Wen Nongnong asked Lü Qiao.
"The Prince and the Duke have gone to the study to discuss some matters," Green Fairy replied.
Wen Nongnong nodded and then asked, "What about Physician Lin? Has anyone arranged a courtyard for him?"
“Yes, Butler Wang arranged it personally, and they’ve already gone to rest,” Green Fairy added.
"That's good." Wen Nongnong was relieved. "Have Steward Wang send a few more people to take care of Physician Lin's daily life."
"I'll go right away," Green Fairy replied and left.
Wen Nongnong then walked with Madam Xu to sit down next to Old Madam Wen and Lu Yingying.
“Grandmother, you must be tired after traveling such a long way. Let me have someone take you to rest first,” Wen Nongnong said.
Madam Wen was indeed a little tired, but she shook her head and said, "It's alright, my old bones can hold on for a while longer."
"But……"
"It's alright, we'll be going back to the Wen residence soon. I can rest there after we get back," said Old Madam Wen kindly. She was actually quite happy because Wen Nongnong still thought of her and cared about her, so this trip was worthwhile.
Seeing that she insisted, Wen Nongnong did not try to persuade her further, and simply said, "Then I will tell the kitchen to serve dinner earlier."
"Okay." Madam Wen did not refuse and nodded with a smile.
Seeing her like this, Madam Xu felt relieved.
She was afraid that the old man would blame everything on Nong Nong.
Fortunately, this time the old man had come to his senses and was at peace, and he did not mention the matter of moving to Xiangzhou at all.
After giving the order, Wen Nongnong had tea and snacks served again.
The four of them then began to talk inside the room.
That evening, the Wen family had dinner at the Prince's Mansion before returning home.
After the Wen family members had left, Physician Lin said respectfully, "Your Highness, may I take your pulse and check your health?"
Gu Linchao nodded and sat down in the chair.
Physician Lin hurriedly stepped forward.
Wen Nongnong stood beside Gu Linchao, watching him with a slightly nervous expression.
Although she knew that the Floating Mantra was not so easy to cure, seeing Physician Lin gave her a glimmer of hope.
After a moment, Physician Lin withdrew his hand and said, "Your Highness's health is fine, but his eyes..." He paused, then continued, "During this time, I have searched through medical classics and finally found some clues."
Wen Nongnong was overjoyed when she heard this, but what Physician Lin said next dampened her spirits.
"But that medical book is incomplete. It only records the recipes for various medicinal materials used to make Fumanluo, but it does not record the recipe for the antidote..." Physician Lin said with a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong looked disappointed.
As expected, the poison of Fumanluo was not so easy to cure.
When Physician Lin saw this, he couldn't help but comfort them, "However, you two don't need to be discouraged. Now that you know the recipe for making Fumanluo, there's always a way to overcome it. It's just that it will take a lot of time to try each one."
"I beg Your Highness and Your Highness to grant this old minister some time. I will do my utmost to develop the antidote."
Wen Nongnong said gratefully, "Then we'll have to trouble Physician Lin. If you need anything, just let us know."
"This old minister understands," Physician Lin nodded.
After Physician Lin left, Wen Nongnong turned to look at Gu Linchao, who hadn't spoken, and assumed he was thinking about the antidote for Fumanluo. She said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. Since Physician Lin has come to Xiangzhou, he must have some confidence in treating your eyes."
Furthermore, I've already sent people from the Crimson Feather Tower to find the antidote for Flomanro; I believe news will arrive soon.
Since Wen Nongnong needed to utilize the power of the Crimson Feather Pavilion during her trip to Xiangzhou, she had already explained the Crimson Feather Pavilion to him on the way. Therefore, Gu Linchao was already aware of the existence of the Crimson Feather Pavilion and the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.
After listening to what she said, Gu Linchao shook his head and said gently, "Nongnong, I'm not worried about whether my eyes can recover."
"Then why do you look so preoccupied?" Wen Nongnong couldn't help but ask.
Gu Linchao's lips curled up slightly. He suddenly reached out and pulled her onto his lap. His warm palm rested on her abdomen, gently stroking it. His deep voice was filled with pleasure as he said, "Nongnong, I'm very happy."
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.
His sudden silence wasn't because he was worried about whether his eyes could recover, but because he was happy that she was pregnant.
She had been busy all night and had almost forgotten about it. It was only when he brought it up that she remembered that she was already a month pregnant.
Looking at the man's handsome face, she feigned ignorance and asked, "What makes Your Highness so happy?"
A smile appeared on Gu Linchao's handsome face, without the slightest impatience. His warm palm was carefully placed on her belly. "I am very happy that our child is growing in Nong Nong's belly."
Looking at his joyful eyes, Wen Nongnong paused, then asked almost involuntarily, "If... if I never get pregnant, will Your Highness be unhappy?"
Gu Linchao was taken aback by her question and his smile faltered slightly, but he still shook his head. "Of course not."
