Jiang Ying has been bedridden for several days.
Rong Chen was worried that the child would have an accident, so he personally supervised her daily life every day. The person in charge of purchasing in the kitchen saw that they were losing power, and his attitude was always lukewarm. It didn't matter what he wanted to eat for three meals a day, and the dishes ordered outside were even more important. It is delivered only once every five days.
In order to save money, the kitchen ordered mostly dishes that were not very fresh and had almost no meat.
For the sake of the child in Jiang Ying's belly, Rong Chen had to open the small treasury he had saved and use money to supplement the expenses. Fortunately, the man who was demoted to a commoner did not have his house confiscated, otherwise his life would have been even more difficult.
But this time, I experienced the harshness of the world.
With the subsidy and Prime Minister Jiang often sending people to bring some meat and vegetables, the couple's diet improved a bit. However, Jiang Ying was always not in good spirits after she became pregnant. She felt miserable every day and lay in bed without thinking. If you move, no one will care.
Nanny Yu was taken to Jiang Ying's room by the housekeeper. Nanny Yu signaled the housekeeper to go out, and then she walked to the edge of the bed in the inner room: "Princess."
Jiang Ying looked very haggard, with a kind of deathly silence all over her body, and there was no trace of blood on her face. Grandma Yu could see that her heart was beating with fear, and she couldn't help but call out again: "Princess."
Jiang Ying slowly opened her eyes and looked at the grandma standing in front of her. After observing for a while, she still felt unfamiliar: "Who are you?"
"I was sent here by Mrs. Jiang. I used to be a medical woman and later a midwife." Grandma Yu first explained her purpose. "Madam learned that the princess is pregnant and asked me to take the pulse of the princess."
Jiang Ying closed her eyes and rested her wrists on the edge of the bed.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Yu asked her pulse: "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Feeling unwell?
Jiang Ying thought with some despair that she didn't feel well anywhere. If she had to live like this for the rest of her life without any hope, she really felt that it would be better to die.
After Mammy Yu took her pulse, she was a little frightened. It was true that Jiang Ying was pregnant, but her body seemed to be declining rapidly. She was suffering from a lot of internal losses, and her heart energy was severely stagnated. Her lungs were also not in good condition, as if she had been severely injured and had not been properly diagnosed and treated... …
Aunt Yu spoke cautiously: "Princess, you are now——"
"I am not the princess now." Jiang Ying's face was pale and her voice was weak and weak, with a strong sense of ridicule. "Mommy, don't call her by the wrong name again, or you may cause trouble."
Aunt Yu responded: "I only screamed in the room, and no outsiders would hear me. Besides, the princess is very likely to rely on this child to make a comeback in the future. She may become the princess again some time."
Comeback?
Jiang Ying no longer had any hope. She knew her own body. After being punched and kicked several times by Rong Chen, her internal organs were damaged and her energy was no longer what it was before. It was hard to say whether the child could be born smoothly.
Even if a child is born, is it guaranteed that it will be a son?
"Princess, there is a high probability that your baby will be a boy." Aunt Yu leaned against her ear and said in a low voice, "You still have to cheer up and take good care of yourself. The Prime Minister and his wife are secretly working for the Prince and you. Taking care of it."
Hearing this, Jiang Ying opened her eyes again: "Has my father been reinstated?"
"This..." Grandma Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Not yet."
Jiang Ying was filled with disappointment: "Three months of suspension. How long has it been? Does the Emperor have no intention of reinstating my father?"
Aunt Yu didn't know how to answer. How could she, a woman, know about the affairs of the court?
Looking at the dark sky outside, she said: "I can't stay here for a long time. I came in just to check the princess's pulse and convey the lady's words to the princess. I also hope that the princess can cheer up and give birth to the child smoothly. As long as she is alive, she will There is always some hope.”
Jiang Ying was silent for a moment: "If father can find a way to get me out of here, then I will have hope."
The relationship between her and Rong Chen has broken down. Rong Chen hates her to the core. Even if he temporarily puts aside his resentment for the sake of the child, he will definitely take revenge on her if there is a chance to make a comeback in the future.
They are destined to never have another chance to share glory in this life.
"I will reply to the Prime Minister. Princess, please be more open-minded and don't get in trouble with your body." Grandma Yu said in a hurry, "I really have to leave. Princess, please take care of yourself."
Before Jiang Ying could respond, she turned around and walked out.
When they walked outside the door, they bumped into Rong Chen who was rushing over. Both of them were stunned, and then Grandma Yu said: "Your Majesty?"
Rong Chen hummed and did not correct her title: "How is Princess?"
"The princess is weak and depressed. For the sake of the child, I hope the prince can coax her as much as possible to keep the princess in a comfortable mood. This is best for the child." Aunt Yu lowered her head and warned carefully, "Let the princess go out more during the day. Let's take a walk to relax. Being bored in the house all day long can make a good person very bored. The old woman just took the pulse of the princess, there is a high possibility of a boy."
When Rong Chen heard this, he perked up: "Boy?"
If it is really a son, after the birth, will the father develop a heart of love and pity, and then love the house and the bird, and be open to them?
Rong Chen took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "I understand, thank you mama."
Grandma Yu said she didn't dare, turned and left.
Rong Chen stood in front of the door for a while, watching Grandma Yu disappear from sight, then turned and walked into Jiang Ying's house.
Looking at Jiang Ying who was still lying on the bed, Rong Chen's eyes darkened. He suppressed the disgust in his eyes and said calmly: "This child is our only hope at the moment. You can raise the baby with peace of mind. I will give it to you in seven or eight months." Find a way to spread this news and let the father know, he will not turn a blind eye to his grandson."
Jiang Ying cheered up, sat up slowly from the bed, and leaned against the bedside: "If you want this child to be born, he must be born? Rong Chen, when you attacked me, did you ever think that I was you?" My wife? When you used force on me several times and treated me like a brothel prostitute to vent your desires, did you ever think that I would be pregnant with this child? "
A trace of anger flashed across Rong Chen's eyes: "If you hadn't had evil thoughts and stupid methods, and lost the child in the concubine's belly, how would I be where I am today? Jiang Ying, you deserve all the consequences!"
After leaving these words, he turned and walked out.
Jiang Ying watched him leave, her already pale face turned even whiter with anger, and she clenched her hands tightly, wishing she could just slip the child away and make him regret it.
She has evil thoughts and stupid methods?
Yes, if she hadn't been stupid, how could she have married such a man with neither ability nor character? She was blind!
The angry couple didn't know yet that as soon as they stepped out of the back door of the palace, Nanny Yu was taken away by several people.
The child in their belly had just brought a little hope, and in the blink of an eye they were facing greater despair.
