Chapter 1063: Chapter 1061_1

After listening to Doctor Luo’s words, Xiao’er made up her mind that no one else would taste her dishes ever again!

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they learned that Xiao’er’s child was safe and sound.

"Rest in bed is good. As long as the child is born safely, Xiao’er, you will have to listen to Doctor Luo in the future!" Mrs. Liu finished speaking and added, "Doctor, please check on the two Crown Princesses, they also fell."

Du Yijin and Zhu Yan were also settled in the room, both looking much better than Xiao’er.

Considering Du Yijin’s status was higher than Zhu Yan’s, Doctor Luo checked her pulse first: "The Crown Princess is not in any danger."

"Don’t we need to take some medicine to ensure the pregnancy?" Shangguan Ruixi was a bit uneasy.

"Didn’t the Crown Princess already take the excellent pregnancy-maintaining medicine given by Princess Rui? There is no need to take more, not to mention that medicine can sometimes be harmful, and pregnant people should avoid medication as much as possible. Sometimes, taking more medicine does not necessarily ensure the safety of the fetus."

"Just now, Yang Liu handed me a pregnancy-preserving pill and I took it. Crown Prince, rest assured, I didn’t feel uncomfortable. As for the Second Princess, I’m not sure if she got hurt in the fall." Du Yijin was truly free of any stomachache, she had fallen squarely onto Ruan Weizhen.

Ruan Weizhen was in another room now, a maid applying medicine to her injured hand.

"Should the Crown Princess also stay in bed and rest until the child is born?" Shangguan Ruixi felt that Du Yijin met with trouble every time she left the residence, which his heart couldn’t handle. Given her pregnancy and its limitations, it would be better for her to stay lying down.

Xiao’er looked sympathetically at Du Yijin; Shangguan Xuanyi and Shangguan Ruixi were definitely two peas in a pod! Their ideas were so alike!

Doctor Luo understood what Shangguan Ruixi meant, so he nodded and advised, "It would be best not to move around too much. However, she cannot always lie in bed. She must take a walk in the garden every morning and evening and climb stairs. Otherwise, if she is always immobile, she will not have the strength when the time comes to give birth."

Pregnant women should not work hard, but they also could not be idle all day, lying around.

After saying these words, Doctor Luo proceeded to look over Zhu Yan.

Xiao’er was dissatisfied after listening to these words: "Doctor Luo, you are not being fair. You tell me to lie down until I give birth, aren’t you afraid I won’t have the strength to deliver the baby then?"

Doctor Luo looked at Xiao’er: "You are as strong as an ox. Don’t worry, it’s just childbirth. A little bit of effort won’t stop you."

Doctor Luo entirely didn’t believe that Xiao’er could lie in bed and not move for half a year - she simply didn’t have that patience.

However, since she had a bleed, she must stay in bed and take care of her pregnancy for a month. The impact on the fetus would be greater after bleeding than when there was no bleeding, and her own physical changes were a bit more pronounced. If she didn’t rest for a full month, if she got up and didn’t walk but sat for a long time, her abdomen would hurt. Then she would know she needed to go back to bed, as Doctor Luo knew, Xiao’er was not someone who cared little for herself. She just liked to occasionally make a fuss and lighten the atmosphere.

Doctor Luo then took Zhu Yan’s pulse: "The Crown Princess has also experienced fetal movement, it’s not severe, but you should also rest in bed for a while."

Then, Doctor Luo prescribed pregnancy-preserving medicine for Xiao’er and Zhu Yan.

Mrs. Liu, knowing the three of them were fine, breathed a sigh of relief. No matter who it was, she wouldn’t feel at ease if something happened. She immediately arranged for someone to gather the prescribed herbs.

"Father, mother, Yun’er still has many guests waiting for her. We are fine now, you should go back and attend to the guests!" Xiao’er told Yun’er and Mrs. Liu to go back and look after the guests.

"Marquis, I will take the Crown Princess back to Wang Mansion first." Shangguan Ruixi figured it would be inconvenient to take care of Du Yijin here, so he began to take leave.

Shen Chengyao nodded: "I sincerely apologize, it was all due to my negligence that almost..."

"Your apology is unnecessary, Marquis, this only happened by accident." Shangguan Ruixi interrupted him. If this kind of thing had happened in the mansion of other officials, Shangguan Ruixi would definitely have lost his temper. But this was the Marquis Shengping Mansion, his father-in-law’s residence, Xiao’er’s home, they had greatly assisted both him, his wife and Wanru, so he bore no grudge. Moreover, Du Yijin was not injured.

The Fifth Princess and the others said their goodbyes so as not to disturb Xiao’er and Zhu Yan’s rest. Today, they were just here to make wedding preparations. They agreed to attend Yun’er’s wedding on the boat tomorrow.

"See you tomorrow." Xiao’er waved at them.

"Are you planning on going on the boat tomorrow?" The Fifth Princess asked in surprise, glancing at her imperial brother. He might well be infuriated by what Xiao’er said.

"Rest assured, Fifth Princess, even if I have to lie down, I must be on that boat tomorrow." This was Yun’er’s wedding, and even though she couldn’t help much, she absolutely couldn’t be absent, otherwise Yun’er wouldn’t feel at ease as a newlywed. Anyway, she had her room on the boat, so she could lie there."

Shangguan Xuanyi did not say anything in response. He had more important things on his mind. He said to the others, "If people outside ask about the situation of Princess Rui, just tell them that she bled heavily, and it’s unknown if the fetus will survive. I hope that no one, apart from the people in this room, knows the true condition of Xiao’er. Do you understand my meaning?"

"Even our imperial parents can’t be told?" The Fifth Princess was surprised.

"Not for now."

Everyone more or less guessed Shangguan Xuanyi’s plan after hearing his words. They all nodded, affirming they wouldn’t tell anyone.

"Go now, everyone! Just the Fifth Princess stay, I have something to ask you."

This matter was clearly a plotted scheme. Given that all of the fall victims were related to the Fifth Princess, it was enough for just the Fifth Princess to stay. Thus, all the others left.

"What happened at the time?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao’er, indicating she should begin her explanation.

"I was originally going to send the Princesses to my courtyard. Since Yijin and I are both pregnant and it’s crowded in the flower hall, my place is much quieter and could prevent us from accidentally bumping into one another. However, halfway a maid told me that older sister was knocked over by a child and having stomach pains. So I let them lead the Princesses to rest in my courtyard while I rushed towards the main courtyard. In the middle of the road, I found..."

Rushed? Shangguan Xuanyi subconsciously frowned, being able to imagine just how fast Xiao’er’s rush was.

However, he did not interrupt Xiao’er, waiting for her to finish recounting the entire incident.

After listening to Xiao’er, Zhu Yan couldn’t help but express surprise: "A maid told you I had a stomachache? But I only rushed to find you all because I heard you and Princess Rui had fallen. And the eggs needed in the kitchen were prepared yesterday, why would they need to be bought today?" Zhu Yan had personally confirmed the ingredients in the kitchen the evening before.

"Who told you both?" asked Shangguan Xuanyi after hearing this.
