CHAPTER 522: CHAPTER 512: CAN ANY OTHER GIRL ANNOY YOU LIKE I DO?

After instructing, she started to gaze sadly into the sky.

Yingwu moved quickly, very quickly, bringing over a rural doctor.

Shen Hua, nervous, didn’t extend her hand for examination and made everyone step back, not even letting him take her pulse. She only asked, "If it’s menopause, can it be treated?"

The doctor was startled, not daring to delay, he hurriedly said, "Only elderly women experience this, I believe one should just accept fate."

"Elderly?"

Shen Hua was taken aback.

"What could be the reason for the delayed monthly cycle?"

She was rushed here by Cui Rong from the bed, her hair not yet done up, still looking like an unmarried girl.

The doctor thus overlooked the most likely reason, "Living habits, diet, medication disturbances..."

Shen Hua didn’t listen attentively to the rest.

She focused on medication disturbances.

That’s it!

It must be the medicine she had earlier!

She had been drinking it for over ten days!

It was completely useless!!!

She knew that doctor was a quack!!

Once Shen Hua knew there was nothing wrong with her body, she completely relaxed and decided not to stay cool any longer; she wanted to go back to Shengjing and tear down that pharmacy! Turning around, she asked Yingwu to prepare the carriage.

Seeing that there was no need to take the pulse anymore, the doctor collected his fee and was about to leave, but remembering the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law he had seen earlier, he couldn’t help but gossip, "Why blame the woman if they can’t have children, what if it’s their son who is ill?"

He didn’t realize how much turmoil this remark stirred in Shen Hua’s heart.

Yingwu moved quickly, and the carriage quickly headed towards Shengjing.

As it approached dusk, there were nearly half fewer pedestrians on the street. Shen Hua got out of the carriage and strode towards the pharmacy across the street.

"Excuse me!"

Just then, a hoarse shout was heard.

A runaway horse charged right towards Shen Hua’s direction, about to collide with her.

"Madam, find a safe place first."

Without hesitation, Yingwu flashed, leapt into action, and by his strength, pulled the reins, veins bulging on his forehead, forcibly turning the direction of the horse.

The crowd became restless. Running around headlessly, the girl was shoved hard by someone, stumbled, though she didn’t fall, her body uncontrollably plunged towards a stall and her lower abdomen hit a wooden pole heavily.

When Yingwu returned, Shen Hua was sitting on the steps, her face somewhat pale.

"Madam, what’s wrong?"

Shen Hua felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen. Looking into Yingwu’s anxious eyes, Yingwu was just about to help her up, but Shen Hua clutched at his clothes tightly.

"It seems... something is not quite right."

Just then, people from the Ministry of Justice were handling official duties nearby, hearing the crowd’s screams rising and falling. Led by Jiang Zhao, they rushed over, only to find the situation already controlled by Yingwu.

Jiang Zhao recognized them immediately as he looked over.

He smiled, about to step forward, but seeing Shen Hua’s pale face, he turned and ran towards the distance.

Cui Yun, in a red robe, was stern and clear, holding an arrest warrant with officials behind him pressing the criminal.

Seeing Jiang Zhao, he spoke calmly.

"Take the perpetrator to the Ministry of Justice; you follow me back to the Ministry of Justice for questioning."

The issues on the street are, after all, not the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.

Jiang Zhao took a breath, "The... The Princess Consort is also here, something seems off."

Cui Yun suddenly looked up.

When she arrived, Shen Hua was still sitting on the steps, the girl looked somewhat surprised to see him.

Cui Yun approached quickly, his expression grave.

"What’s wrong?"

Shen Hua’s lips were pale.

He placed his hand on the girl’s wrist, and after checking her pulse, his whole body stiffened, the usually calm man had a moment of blankness in his mind.

Without hesitation, he lifted her up diagonally, but his steps were somewhat unstable.

Just as he was about to be lifted onto the carriage, Shen Hua took a deep breath.

"Wait."

Cui Yun’s eyes were pitch-black, rolling with emotions the girl couldn’t understand.

He... was afraid.

Suppressing his voice, he ordered Ying Yi to drive the carriage, "Hurry back."

The girl nestled in his arms, her lips trembling with pain. Yet, she didn’t forget the important thing.

"I’m fine! I can still breathe! You first tear down that pharmacy!"

Cui Yun took out a porcelain bottle, from which she fed a few pills to her lips. Unconsciously, Shen Hua opened her mouth and took them in, the bitterness causing her face to frown.

She was about to spit them out.

"One pill is worth a fortune, and you’ve taken three."

The taste wasn’t great, but the price matched Yangyang.

She hesitated for a moment before swallowing them down.

Cui Yun’s hand rested on her lower abdomen, barely covering it without daring to press, his lips close to hers.

His voice was harshly dry.

"It’ll be alright, just bear with it a bit longer."

Ni Kang was brought to Sui Courtyard by Yingwu. He had only just arrived when Cui Yun came holding Shen Hua. His steps were large but steady, careful not to jostle the girl.

Shen Hua was settled on the couch, watched as Ni Kang’s face changed color, then took out the silver needle.

After taking the medicine, the girl felt much less pain.

Her complexion also became more rosy.

Her body wanted to dodge, but she was restrained by Cui Yun, unable to move.

Cui Yun, as if no one else was present, gently stroked the back of her neck with a tender tone mixed with coaxing.

"With the Soul Reviving Pill used, just another needle treatment will preserve the fetus."

Shen Hua was shocked.

Preserve the fetus?

The girl blinked, struggling to digest the news, and couldn’t help but fear retroactively. Seeing the silver needle, longer than her index finger, became incredibly comforting.

She was dazed by this surprise, didn’t dare to move, and lay perfectly proper.

"I’m ready."

She was serious, even noble, the girl tightly grasping Cui Yun’s hand, frightened, unconsciously pulling at his skin.

"Please go ahead and pierce!"

Yes, there was also rare politeness.

Ni Kang: ...

Just three needles.

Not a hundred.

No need to be so dramatic.

Cui Yun stood by with a tense jawline.

Ni Kang swiftly administered the acupuncture and wrote down a prescription for the fetus-preserving medicine.

"The first three months are critical; remain on the couch for these few days, avoid spicy foods, rest more and keep your mood cheerful. Remove the needles after half an hour."

After giving these instructions, he left.

Cui Yun brought some warm water, gently feeding it to her.

Shen Hua’s eyes curved, seemingly filled with dazzling stars and galaxies.

"You are going to be a Daddy."

"I’m glad you are unharmed."

Both spoke at the same time, then were taken aback.

What she cared about was the scarcity of offspring between the Cui and Shao families.

But what he cared about most was her.

Cui Yun gazed at her intensely, devoutly pressing his lips to hers.

But the girl was quite a mood killer.

"My coming back this time, I actually wanted to see Ni Kang too, to have him check on you."

With her newfound pregnancy, the girl was completely unrestrained, speaking her mind freely.

"I am guilty."

Cui Yun knew it wasn’t going to be good news.

Indeed.

"Thinking that we’ve been married so long and there’re still no signs of pregnancy, I assumed I wasn’t ill, so perhaps you were a bit."

Shen Hua sighed: "Good girls like me aren’t common, even on the way here I was thinking of not hurting your pride."

Don’t be so absurd.

Cui Yun closed his eyes briefly.

"Getting bold, aren’t you?"

Shen Hua sincerely said: "To be honest, I have a very bold idea."

"I’m not the same as before, we share one couch, remember to obey me in the future."

Righteously, Yangyang grabbed Cui Yun’s collar to draw him close and then animatedly warned: "Ni Kang said to keep a good mood. Can any other girl irritate you like I can? I advise you better recognize the situation, otherwise I’ll drive you crazy!"
