These morning sickness symptoms vary from person to person; some people hardly experience them, while others experience them very severely.
Wen Nongnong belongs to the latter category.
Gu Linchao and Madam Xu were so worried about her severe morning sickness that they were heartbroken.
I tried many methods, but none of them worked.
Seeing her daughter growing thinner and thinner, Madam Xu looked distressed. "Why are you so useless? It's just a pregnancy, why are you so delicate?"
During this time, Madam Xu was worried about Wen Nong Nong and often went to the Prince's Mansion. Fortunately, the two mansions were close to each other, making it convenient to go back and forth.
Wen Nong Nong said with a bitter face, "I didn't want to either..."
I see other people getting pregnant so easily, why is it so difficult for her?
“When I was pregnant before, I didn’t vomit like you. Your sister-in-law is quite easy to take care of, but you… sigh.” Xu sighed repeatedly as she spoke.
At this moment, Lü Qiao brought in a bowl of plum juice.
When Wen Nongnong smelled the sweet and sour aroma, she didn't feel nauseous like she usually did. Instead, she reached out her hand and said, "Give it to me."
Lüqiao stepped forward and presented the bowl to her.
Seeing her daughter enjoying her drink so much, Mrs. Xu said helplessly, "Besides this plum juice, can't you eat anything else?"
Wen Nongnong, who was drinking plum juice, was intrigued by the words and casually said, "I think so. Why don't you take me outside for a walk, Mother? I heard there's a night market in the East Market that's very lively at night, with all kinds of food."
"Take me there for a walk; maybe my nausea and vomiting will disappear without medicine."
Mrs. Xu frowned. "But the night market is too chaotic and not suitable for you. Besides, the food there isn't clean. How can you eat that kind of food in your condition?"
Wen Nongnong wanted to cry but had no tears.
She felt that her severe vomiting must be because she had been confined to the mansion for too long and the food she ate every day was too bland.
Given how much Madam Xu cares for her, there's absolutely no way she'd let her go out.
As for Gu Linchao, there's no need to mention him.
After finishing her plum juice, Wen Nongnong lay back down listlessly.
Green Fairy took a fan and gently fanned her.
"Mom, I want to sleep for a while. You should go back first. My sister-in-law is about to give birth, so please keep an eye on her. I'm fine here; Aunt Ding and Lüqiao will take care of me."
Wen Nongnong lay down for a while, and seeing that Madam Xu was still sitting beside her, looking worried about her, she spoke up.
Madam Xu sighed, touched her pale face, and said with some worry, "Your sister-in-law is easy to take care of, but I'm worried about you. You need to take better care of yourself, otherwise..." She suddenly stopped and didn't finish her sentence.
But Wen Nongnong understood her worries.
If her body continues to be so uncooperative, she will suffer a lot later on, and there may even be danger during childbirth.
Wen Nongnong knew all this, and she wanted to cheer up, but morning sickness is something that can't be controlled by simply trying to cheer up.
"Mother, I understand, I will take good care of myself." She could only comfort Madam Xu.
Madam Xu was at a loss with her, and Lu Yingying was indeed about to give birth, so she probably wouldn't have much time to come here anymore.
She called over Ding's mother, repeatedly gave her some instructions, and then left reluctantly.
"Madam really cares about Miss." Green Fairy said with a hint of envy as she fanned Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong squeezed her hand and teased, "Siyi cares about you a lot too. I see him coming to my main courtyard several times a day, just to see you."
When Lü Qiao heard her suddenly mention Si Yi, her face flushed red, and she became a little embarrassed, whispering, "No, I didn't..."
"Don't be shy. The fact that he treats you like this shows that he cares about you," Wen Nongnong said with a smile.
As the mistress and servant were talking, Bai Li walked in from outside. "Your Highness, someone from Chiyu Tower has arrived. It was sent by the Second Elder. They say they want to see Your Highness."
Wen Nongnong was somewhat surprised, then slowly sat up and ordered, "Invite the person to the side hall."
"Yes." Bai Li quickly withdrew.
Wen Nongnong tidied herself up, and with Lü Qiao's help, they arrived at the side hall. Zhao Kun and two other disciples were already there.
Upon seeing Wen Nongnong enter, Zhao Kun was startled and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Is the host alright?"
"I'm fine." Wen Nongnong waved her hand, somewhat helplessly, it seemed that her current situation was indeed quite bad.
She sat down in the main seat and said gently, "Please sit down too."
After Zhao Kun sat down as instructed, Wen Nongnong asked, "By the way, did the Second Elder send you here for something?"
Zhao Kun then told them that someone had hired them to assassinate her.
Wen Nongnong wasn't very surprised when she heard this, but the other party was a bit slow; it took so long before they finally made a move.
"Have you found out who's behind this?"
"What we can confirm at the moment is that the people who came to hire us are from the palace. As for the identity of the person behind it all, we haven't found out yet," Zhao Kun said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong fell into deep thought.
Who could it be from the palace?
She had suspected that Empress Dowager Guo was behind it, but she had no evidence.
We've made some progress, but the scope is still quite large.
After all, in the palace, besides Empress Dowager Guo, there was also Wen Ruyi who wanted her dead.
However, of the two, Empress Dowager Guo has a greater chance of winning because she has the ability to hire assassins.
"By the way, OP, my brothers and I heard something on our way to Xiangzhou," Zhao Kun suddenly said.
"What is it?" Wen Nongnong asked, pulling herself together from her thoughts.
"I heard that someone has offered a reward of a thousand taels of gold for the lives of a pair of con artists, and those two are currently in Xiangzhou. When we arrived, quite a few martial arts practitioners had already come to Xiangzhou."
"It seems things won't be peaceful in Xiangzhou City lately. If you don't have anything to do, it's best if you don't go out," Zhao Kun said.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong felt utterly hopeless.
She had finally managed to persuade Madam Xu to focus her attention on Lu Yingying and that she probably wouldn't be coming to the Prince's Mansion for a while. But then this happened. How was she supposed to go out and find food now?
"Okay, I understand." She nodded.
"So what should we do next?" Zhao Kun asked for instructions.
Wen Nong Nong understood that he was referring to the assassination attempt on her.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Just cut off a winter melon or pumpkin, disguise it as a head, and take it to the employer."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Kun's lips twitched slightly.
Isn't the original poster's suggestion a bit too perfunctory?
"The other party will probably see through the fake," he warned.
"Probably not. If you make that fake head a little bloody, most people will be scared and won't dare to look at it for long," Wen Nongnong said.
Moreover, she was certain that the person who wanted to kill her was either Empress Dowager Guo or Wen Ruyi. Both of them were women, and she didn't believe that they would dare to examine such a bloody object.
