The Hunter’s Lively Wife
Chapter 880 - Chapter 880 Chapter 880 Finding the Cause

Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Finding the Cause Chapter 880: Chapter 880: Finding the Cause Upon hearing the Consort of Rui say this, Su Yunjin roughly guessed what was going on? It seemed her suspicions were indeed correct; the Consort of Rui had people in Jincheng wanting to harm her and her child.

Having no alternative, the Consort of Rui thus sought refuge in this small town. Su Yunjin was a perceptive person, versed in the schemings and calculations of the Wang Residence and aware that knowing too many of the Wang Residence’s dark secrets brought no benefit to someone of her humble status.

Having reached this point in their conversation, Su Yunjin did not continue to inquire further.

It was better for her not to ask too many questions about the matters of the Wang Residence.

Despite not asking further about the affairs of the Wang Residence, the Consort of Rui did not go on either. Su Yunjin’s main purpose today was to read the Consort’s pulse.

After discussing so much, Su Yunjin offered to take the Consort’s pulse, to which the Consort told Su Yunjin, “Madam Su, ever since I started taking the herbal prescription you gave me to regulate my body, my palpitations and shortness of breath have indeed been alleviated.”

The Consort of Rui extended her hand to Su Yunjin, who once again placed her fingers on the Consort’s pulse and discovered that the fetus’s condition seemed somewhat unstable.

She immediately felt this was unusual.

“Your Highness, if I may be so bold,” may I ask if you have been taking any other medicines besides the prescription I prepared for you each day? The warm-tonifying medicine I gave you should not affect the fetus; yet, Your Highness’s pulse seems unstable, which must mean you have been taking other medicines as well, in addition to the prescription I prepared for you.

She had indeed been taking other medicines daily.

Concerning this, the Consort of Rui had suffered from palpitations and shortness of breath since she was young. The Consort’s father had the Imperial Medical Bureau prepare a kind of medicinal pill, which she always took. She reduced the dosage during her pregnancy, yet she still continued to take them.

She asked Lingling to bring one of her regular medicinal pills and showed it to Su Yunjin, “Madam Su, look, this is the medicinal pill I take every day.”

Su Yunjin looked at the small porcelain bottle in the Consort’s hand and tentatively asked a question.

“Your Highness, may I take a look at that pill?” Su Yunjin intended to smell it to identify what herbs were used in the Consort’s medicinal pill.

The Consort of Rui had no concerns about letting Su Yunjin inspect the pill, and Su Yunjin brought it to her nose to smell.

Although she could not identify all the herbs used in the pill, Su Yunjin distinctly smelled two ingredients that could cause severe morning sickness in the Consort of Rui.

This was why the Consort of Rui had been suffering from continuous morning sickness during her pregnancy. “Your Highness, the medicinal pill you take daily contains two herbs that, when ingested, will intensify your morning sickness. The severe morning sickness you have experienced previously was also due to this pill. Now, Your Highness, as your fetal condition is not very stable, you must not continue taking this medicine in the future.”

The Consort of Rui was greatly startled.

“Madam Su, are you saying my severe morning sickness is indeed because of this medicine? And that it has caused my fetus’s condition to be unstable?”

Su Yunjin nodded gravely and advised, “Your Highness, this pill contains substances that can stimulate the fetus; you must not take it anymore. If you must take it, it should only be after the child is born.”

Upon understanding, the Consort of Rui hastily asked Su Yunjin, “Madam Su, from what you’re saying, is my child unharmed?” The Consort was truly worried that the medicine had affected the fetus in her womb.
