The female doctor gently cleaned the external injuries on Su Jingyao's body one by one, applied ointment carefully, and even bandaged the more serious injury on her ankle with great care.
Miaoyun and Miaoxia gently helped her take off her clothes, leaving only her underwear.
At this time, Jun Zechen walked in with steady steps. He bent down and gently picked up Su Jingyao from the couch.
He walked into the bedroom and slowly placed her on the bed.
After that, he sat quietly by the bed, his eyes always on Su Jingyao, full of concern and tenderness.
He hadn't expected that his first child would come so unexpectedly.
About a quarter of an hour later, the pregnancy-maintaining medicine prepared by Doctor Li was brought in.
Jun Zechen took the medicine bowl personally and sat next to Su Jingyao, holding her back with one hand and holding the medicine bowl with the other, ready to feed her the medicine.
Su Jingyao gradually regained consciousness from her coma due to the bitterness of the medicine.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself half lying in Jun Zechen's warm arms, and Jun Zechen was holding a medicine bowl, patiently trying to feed her the medicine.
"Mm...no, it's so bitter..."
Su Jingyao frowned slightly, and her voice was a little weak and resistant.
"Be good, Yaoyao is pregnant with the royal heir. This is medicine to keep the baby safe. You had a miscarriage today, so you have to drink it. I asked someone to prepare your favorite honey and flower tea. The medicine and flower tea won't be bitter after you drink it."
After hearing this, Su Jingyao stared at Jun Zechen with confused eyes for a long time before finally coming to her senses.
"I'm...pregnant?"
There was a hint of surprise and disbelief in her voice.
"Yes, Yaoyao is pregnant. Doctor Li personally diagnosed her pulse, so there can't be any mistakes."
Jun Zechen's voice was low and gentle, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Su Jingyao seemed full of love at this moment.
Jun Zechen brought the medicine bowl close to Su Jingyao's mouth again. Although Su Jingyao disliked the bitter taste very much, she still frowned, closed her eyes, pinched her nose with her hand, and drank the medicine while suppressing the discomfort.
After drinking the medicine, Su Jingyao immediately cried out, "It's so bitter, I want to drink flower tea."
Miaoyun on the side quickly handed over the flower tea.
Su Jingyao stretched out her little hand, carefully held the teacup, and drank it in small sips. She looked like a cute little squirrel, which made people feel pity for her.
After drinking, she slowly and gently placed her hand on her belly, her eyes shining with surprise, like the stars that suddenly shone in the night sky, bright and dazzling.
She once again probed softly with a tone of disbelief.
"Your Highness, am I really pregnant?"
Jun Zechen also gently placed his hand on her belly and nodded slightly, giving her an affirmative answer.
Then his face grew serious and his voice became low and powerful.
"Why did you risk your life to save the Crown Princess today? Do you know that the stone was not polished? If you fell in the wrong direction, the consequences would be disastrous."
Su Jingyao's face showed deep regret. She bit her lips, her eyes full of self-blame.
She stammered, "I didn't know I was pregnant. If I knew, I wouldn't..."
"Is your relationship with the Crown Princess really that good? Would you rather hurt yourself than save her?"
There was a hint of confusion and jealousy in Jun Zechen's tone.
Jun Zechen knew clearly that Ling Yue had unilaterally distanced herself from Su Jingyao since the Flower Festival, and this little woman had basically put all her thoughts on him.
But he never expected that when she saw Ling Yue injured, she would rush forward regardless of her own safety.
"Your Highness, when I first came to the Eastern Palace, the Crown Princess treated me very well. I didn't have anyone close to me in the Eastern Palace, and I always treated you like a family member. If you had fallen, your face would have been ruined, and I naturally couldn't just stand by and watch."
Su Jingyao's voice was full of sincerity.
When Jun Zechen heard her words, he felt mixed emotions. Wasn't the reason why she treated Ling Yue as her sister because of his malice and cold treatment towards her in the past?
She was originally doted on by the Su family, but after entering the Eastern Palace, her husband was full of malice towards her.
Only the kind-hearted Ling Yue was willing to talk to her, and they would drink tea and chat together from time to time.
That's why she takes her relationship with Ling Yue so seriously.
After Su Jingyao finished speaking, her crow-feather-like eyelashes slowly drooped, covering the emotions in her eyes.
"and....."
There was a hint of hesitation in her voice, as if there were thousands of words stuck in her throat and she didn't know whether she should say them.
Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "And what?"
Su Jingyao slowly hugged his waist, and her soft voice flowed out like a gurgling stream.
She whispered, "My sister is the apple of your eye. If she gets hurt, your Highness will be sad. I don't want to see your Highness worry."
Jun Zechen's hands suddenly clenched into fists, his voice low and powerful, with a hint of barely perceptible emotion.
"Do you think I won't worry if you get hurt?"
Su Jingyao bit her lower lip lightly, a trace of grievance flashing across her face.
"No, I know that His Highness has been treating me very well these days. I would be content if I could just get a little bit of His Highness's affection for my sister."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, finally as soft as a mosquito, "It is better for my concubine to be injured than for my sister to be injured. Your Highness does not need to be so heartbroken..."
Jun Zechen stared straight ahead, his eyes as dark as ink, so deep that it was difficult to fathom.
