[Well, the plot has finally reached the point where the male protagonist kills the enemy general and then gets shot by his own side.] Ning Wu twitched his lips as he looked at the blood-soaked screen.
Where is the female lead?
The female lead was escorted back to the capital by the male lead's personal guards and is currently at the Ning family's residence.
Su Chen patted her chest. At least the female lead wasn't outside, so the Ning family shouldn't be implicated anymore.
"How is the male lead? He won't die, will he?" Su Chen was afraid that he would die from his serious injuries.
Ningwu rotated the screen again. [No, but the coffin has already been buried, so we should be able to keep it a secret from everyone. Besides, the male protagonist has been successfully rescued by the female general from the neighboring country.]
"Um... I hope we don't have any cliché plots like the male lead losing his memory and falling in love with the female general who saved him?" Su Chen's head ached just thinking about such a story.
"No, even if you're willing, the female general's strategist isn't. Let me tell you, that strategist is incredibly cunning; she has the female general completely under her thumb. The two are already engaged, and the wedding date has even been set."
The female general only admired the male protagonist; she had no romantic feelings for him.
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
【However, you'd better advise the female lead. She doesn't look well; she seems like she might follow the male lead at any moment. Summon her to the palace when you have time.】 Ning Wu showed Su Chen images of Ning Luo's skin, so white it was almost translucent.
"She's lost a lot of weight; we should advise her to lose some."
...
The next day.
"Why do you look so haggard, little sister?" Su Chen quickly stepped forward and took Ning Luo's hand.
“Something on my mind…” Ning Luo lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
"She needs to be properly cared for." Su Chen pressed her down onto the stool. "Mu Mu, go and call the imperial physician."
Ningluo quickly said, "Your Majesty, no need."
Su Chen held her down to prevent her from getting up, saying, "Listen to me."
After a while.
The imperial physician stroked his beard and said, "This is a slippery pulse, flowing smoothly like pearls rolling on a plate, and its texture is exquisite..."
"So..." Su Chen indicated that she didn't quite understand.
The imperial physician said, "The Sixth Princess Consort is pregnant; she has been pregnant for three months."
Su Chen calculated that three months should be the time when Ning Luo and Jun Moyao arrive at the border.
"Has the Sixth Princess Consort recently lost her appetite?" the imperial physician asked Ning Luo, turning his head.
Ning Luo was still in shock when she heard the imperial physician's question and nodded.
The imperial physician frowned. "That won't do. I'll prescribe some tonics to help with pregnancy; you must take them on time."
Ning Luo curtsied and said, "Thank you, Imperial Physician."
After the imperial physician left, Su Chen took Ning Luo's hand and asked, "Why are you abusing your health like this, sister?"
Ningluo, tears welling in her eyes, asked, "My husband is dead, what hope is there left?"
Su Chen couldn't help but shake her head. Why did the female protagonist, a time-traveling woman, speak as if she had grown up in a boudoir in ancient times? Did she treat her husband as just another person? Or as her entire life?
Su Chen advised, "Now that you are pregnant, even if you don't want to live, you have to live for the sake of the child in your womb."
"You need to eat well and sleep well every day to take good care of your health."
Ningluo nodded with tears in her eyes.
After a morning of persuasion, I finally managed to calm the female lead down. I even invited her to stay for lunch at the palace, and although she ate very little, she managed to eat something.
"Okay, this time the female lead shouldn't die. Seriously... she's going to die for a man." Su Chen couldn't help but complain to Ning Wu.
He glanced at her sideways, ["She's deeply in love. Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"]
Su Chen didn't take it seriously, "Thank you for the compliment."
