Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Caution and Care Chapter 838: Chapter 838: Caution and Care In order not to harm the fetus in the princess’s womb.

After repeated deliberation, Su Yunjin finally began to write the prescription. The Princess Rui watched from the side, not disturbing Su Yunjin, and sat very quietly.

With Princess Rui not speaking, the other servants also didn’t dare to utter a word. The small pavilion became so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing.

As Su Yunjin wrote the prescription, she considered each herb carefully, weighing its effects and functions. If there was any risk of harm to the princess’s child within, Su Yunjin dared not use it.

During this time, a young maid came from the front courtyard. Upon seeing her, Princess Rui immediately asked, “How is it? Does the old princess still lack an appetite?” For a whole month now, the old princess’s appetite had been poor.

The food sent to her was also scarcely touched.

Today, Princess Rui had specifically prepared some delicious dishes for the old princess and had arranged for this little maid to deliver them. Now that the maid had returned,

Princess Rui asked about the old princess.

“Replying to your Highness, the old princess only took a few bites before saying she would eat no more,” the maid shook her head,

reporting truthfully.

Hearing that the old princess still had no appetite, Princess Rui couldn’t help but frown. She was also pondering ways to encourage the old princess to eat.

By this time, Su Yunjin had finished writing the prescription and handed it to Princess Rui.

With utmost respect.

“Your Highness, take this prescription. If you consume the medicine once a day as I’ve instructed, your symptoms of palpitations and shortness of breath should ease,” Su Yunjin said.

Though the medicinal herbs were mild, they were medicines nonetheless. Since the princess was pregnant, it was better to take as little medicine as possible. Su Yunjin continued to advise her, “Your Highness, you need only take this medicine for half a month. Although the medicines I have prescribed are mild and tonifying, it is still medicine. Considering the welfare of the Little Prince in your womb, you should not consume too much.”

Su Yunjin’s earnest advice.

The princess nodded, committing each word to memory.

Having addressed the princess’s health concerns, Su Yunjin did not intend to linger at the Wang Residence and got up to take her leave, “Your Highness, if you have no further matters, then I shall take my leave now.”

Su Yunjin was about to depart.

Princess Rui gazed at Su Yunjin, her eyes suddenly lighting up. In her view, since Su Yunjin had cured her morning sickness, perhaps Su Yunjin also had a method to help with the old princess’s lack of appetite.

Su Yunjin found herself under the intense gaze of Princess Rui, whose eyes shone brightly.

Su Yunjin had also overheard the servant’s earlier words.

Could it be that Princess Rui wanted her to treat the old princess’s poor appetite?

Indeed, as Su Yunjin was thinking this, Princess Rui looked at her and said, “Miss Su, the old princess at the Prince Qi Residence has a poor appetite. Seeing that you are a capable woman, could you perhaps also prescribe some medicine for the old princess to improve her appetite?”

Princess Rui was asking Su Yunjin to write a prescription for the old princess’s poor appetite–a condition which most of the time doesn’t require medication, merely the consumption of appetizing foods.

In a place like the Prince Qi Residence, the old princess’s food and other consumables were certainly of the utmost delicacy and sophistication. If the old princess had become too accustomed to fine food, it was natural to grow weary of it.

Perhaps switching to simple, plain meals might pique the old princess’s interest in eating.

“Your Highness, may I have the use of your esteemed kitchen for a moment?” Su Yunjin planned to go right away and prepare a couple of appetizing small dishes for the old princess.

Although Princess Rui did not understand Su Yunjin’s intentions, she nodded in agreement, “Of course, you may use it. But may I ask what you intend to do in the kitchen?”
