Chapter 38 Did Consort Su miscarry?
This is a truly outrageous joke.
After all that fuss, it turned out to be my relative visiting...
Su Mowan felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen and pulled the blanket over half of her face. "Your Highness, there's something wrong with the military intelligence. Please leave."
Murong Jing coldly called out to Granny Wei.
Almost instantly, Granny Wei rushed in. Seeing Su Mowan with half her face covered, she asked in confusion, "Your Highness, what do you need this old servant for?"
Murong Jing said stiffly, "Have someone prepare a set of clean clothes and bring them over immediately."
Su Mowan was somewhat embarrassed, huddled under the covers. Granny Wei continued to bombard her with questions: "Did Consort Su spill her medicine?"
"Granny, please don't ask anymore, go get the clothes!"
Su Mowan let out a muffled cry from under the covers.
A short while later, Granny Wei returned with clean clothes. Su Mowan was weak and limp, and her lower abdomen was aching, so she had to ask Granny Wei to help her change.
However, as soon as she lifted the covers, Granny Wei immediately exclaimed in surprise, then lowered her voice and glared, saying, "Consort Su! This...this...has she miscarried?!"
"..."
Su Mowan was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Granny, this is just a normal period!"
Granny Wei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Murong Jing at the table, saying, "Why did Your Highness only allow me to take clothes and not menstrual pads? This made this old servant have to make a trip!"
"..."
Murong Jing remained silent with a stiff face, while Su Mowan simply shrank into the blankets.
After Granny Wei returned with the menstrual cloth, Murong Jing left. Su Mowan looked at the menstrual cloth and had a headache for a while. Sure enough, the legend that 'ancient women couldn't go out during those days' was not a legend!
After helping her change her clothes, Granny Wei rushed out again, instructing before leaving, "Consort Su, lie down properly. This old servant will go to the kitchen to have someone make you some red date porridge!"
Su Mowan: "..."
In the study.
Murong Jing frowned slightly: "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
Standing before her, Yinshuang said firmly, "Master, this servant is absolutely certain that he is the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Murong Jing's phoenix eyes darkened slightly, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed the ring on his ring finger: "How did the Xiaoyao Sect's leader's token end up in her hands..."
Yinshuang whispered, "Master, why don't you ask Sect Master Lu?"
"No rush, investigate this matter slowly. How's the other matter I asked you to investigate?"
Yinshuang hurriedly said, "This servant has found out that the Princess Consort of Chu did indeed go to the Northern Frontier two years ago and stayed there for half a month."
A dark glint flashed in Murong Jing's eyes: "I understand. Don't make a fuss about this. You may leave."
"Yes!"
The brush rested on the inkstone, the ink at the tip already dry. Murong Jing snapped out of his reverie and was about to pick up the brush again when Feng Yue's voice came from outside the study.
"Your Majesty, Consort Shen requests an audience."
Murong Jing frowned: "Just say I'm busy."
Feng Yue hesitated for a moment, then said, "Consort Shen said she came to visit Consort Su."
Murong Jing refused without hesitation: "Just say that Consort Su is seriously injured and cannot see anyone."
"..." Feng Yue secretly wiped away his sweat and said tremblingly, "Master, I really can't persuade Consort Shen to leave."
Murong Jing turned his wheelchair around and left the study.
"What use are you if you can't even handle a woman?"
"..."
Consort Shen was no ordinary woman!
Feng Yue grumbled inwardly as he pushed the wheelchair out.
When Shen Muyue, who was waiting outside Fenghua Palace, saw Murong Jing come out, she was immediately delighted. "Your Highness! I just came to see Sister Su. You didn't need to come to greet me personally!"
As Shen Muyue was about to step onto the steps, Murong Jing coldly said, "Stand still. I'm not here to greet you. I'm here to tell you that Consort Su is not allowed to come over without permission while she is recuperating."
"..."
Shen Muyue withdrew her outstretched leg, put on a worried expression, and said softly, "Your Highness, I am also worried about Sister Su. Please let me go and take a look."
"What's the point of you watching while I'm unconscious?"
Murong Jing's voice betrayed his displeasure.
Upon hearing the words "unconscious," a hint of a smile flashed in Shen Muyue's eyes, but her face showed disappointment: "In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
After Shen Muyue had walked away, Feng Yue whispered, "Master, should we send someone to keep an eye on her?"
Murong Jing's lips curled into a mocking smile.
"No need. Prime Minister Shen can't cause any trouble yet. Let her be."
Su Mowan had to drink medicine and then porridge, which was incredibly miserable. She put down the bowl and said to the smiling Granny Wei, "Granny, could you go out for a walk? You're making me dizzy by always walking around in front of me."
With a smile, Granny Wei said, "Consort Su, please don't find this old servant troublesome. This old servant is acting on the Empress's decree! I dare not neglect it!"
As if remembering something, she continued, "Oh, by the way, Her Majesty the Empress just sent over a lot of tonics, saying that once Consort Su has recovered, she can come to the palace so Her Majesty can see her. His Majesty is also very concerned about you!"
Su Mowan couldn't help but twitch her lips as she recalled the Emperor Mo Yao she had met that day.
Before Granny Wei could say anything more, she saw her master enter with a cold face, and she immediately laughed and left.
Murong Jing's expression was somewhat unnatural.
After a long pause, he finally managed to ask, "How are you? Does it still hurt?"
It took Su Mowan a moment to realize what he was asking, and she immediately said awkwardly, "It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"
Murong Jing snorted coldly and exposed him, "Your face looks so ugly, yet you still try to fool me?"
Su Mowan was speechless. Was she supposed to talk about menstruation with a grown man without trying to fool him?
Isn't this insane?!
Before she could speak, Murong Jing reached out and slipped his long arm under the covers, and immediately felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen.
"..."
Su Mowan was so frightened that she shuddered and stared blankly for a long time, unable to come to her senses.
My goodness!
Murong Jing actually sent her a water pouch!
It's filled with hot water!
So cozy!
Seeing that she seemed a little dazed, Murong Jing snorted and his expression turned slightly unnatural: "Why are you looking at me? I'm only doing this because you took an arrow for me..."
Seeing Murong Jing's expression, Su Mowan secretly curved her lips into a smile.
Murong Jing, who had always been cold and sarcastic, now seemed strangely endearing.
She hugged the hot water bottle resting on her lower abdomen tightly and smiled knowingly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Please go ahead and attend to your business."
Murong Jing frowned in displeasure.
This woman is simply...
He finally managed to come see her for a moment, and she's urging him to leave?
Su Mowan realized she had said something wrong as soon as she saw him frown, but after thinking back on what she had said, she felt there was nothing wrong with it, so she asked in confusion, "Your Highness, I have already drunk the medicine and porridge, is there anything else you need?"
A sudden surge of irritation rose in Murong Jing's heart.
He asked coldly, "This is my room. Can't I stay here a little longer?"
