Chapter 495 Finale (4)
Su Niang smiled, wrote out a few prescriptions for prenatal care, and asked Cui'er to go to the clinic to ask someone to get the medicine and boil it.
Afterwards, he patiently reminded Jiang Wantang of many things to pay attention to after pregnancy.
After they all left, Jiang Wantang sat in front of the window, stroking her flat belly, lost in thought.
Until this moment, she was still surprised that there was a life growing in it.
So, she was not alone on the journey south, she had this child with her, right?
The arrival of this child was actually completely beyond Jiang Wantang's expectations.
She used to think that children were shackles, constraints, and troubles that she could never get rid of.
But when she really had it, instead of running away and feeling disgusted, she looked forward to the day seven months later when the fruit would ripen and they would meet as mother and son or mother and daughter.
She had a rough childhood and few relatives.
So she thought that it would be nice to have this child to accompany her in the future.
In the next few days, Jiang Wantang's morning sickness became more and more severe. She couldn't stand the smell of oil in the morning. Even her favorite rain-previous Longjing tea would make her frown when it was brewed and brought to her.
She simply entrusted all the matters related to the opening of the new building to several ladies in charge.
The owner of the clinic, Su Niang, personally prepared pregnancy-maintaining medicine for her every day. She also ordered people to set up a quiet room in the backyard. The window frames were all replaced with breathable Xiangfei bamboo, and the floor was covered with soft velvet carpets to help Jiang Wantang better nourish the fetus.
The little maid Cui'er stayed by Jiang Wantang's side all the time, being extremely cautious.
All the women in the building have miserable lives, and they only have the peace and stability they have today thanks to Jiang Wantang's help.
Therefore, when everyone saw that Jiang Wantang was having a particularly difficult pregnancy, they all sincerely wanted to help her relieve some of the pain so that she would suffer less.
But everyone tacitly agreed that no one had ever asked her about the child's father.
Because they had all seen Jiang Wantang staring blankly at the sky outside the window from time to time at night.
They are all experienced people, and at her age, it is obvious that she has been married for not long.
Therefore, there is an 80% chance that the child's father is a heartless man.
However, Jiang Wantang was completely unaware of their thoughts.
Jiang Wantang was not used to such a life of being the center of attention and care at first, but when she saw that they all sincerely wanted to do something for her, she accepted it with a smile.
I saw my body becoming fuller.
Because Jiang Wantang was pregnant, the opening date of the building was postponed for some time.
......
At that time, in Shengjing City, inside the Imperial Palace.
As dusk fell, the eaves and corners of the imperial city gradually disappeared into the haze. The dim palace lanterns lit up one after another, casting circles of swaying light and shadows on the bluestone brick floor.
In the imperial study, Ji Wuyuan finished reviewing the last memorial on the desk and put down the imperial wolf-hair brush in his hand.
He raised his hand and rubbed his brow. The golden dragon embroidered on the cuffs of his black robe shone with a majestic luster under the candlelight.
"Your Majesty, it's time to eat." Wang Fuhai waited on the side and reminded carefully.
Ji Wuyuan looked up at the sky outside the window which had already darkened, and without saying a word, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Wang Fuhai followed silently behind him.
Ever since the Queen passed away, His Majesty's temper has become increasingly cold, and he speaks less and less.
Suddenly, a gentle night breeze blew by, bringing with it the chilly feeling of early spring...
Ji Wuyuan unknowingly walked to the palace wall and looked at the faint lights outside the wall. Those were the lights of thousands of homes in Shengjing City.
Once upon a time, there was a lamp belonging to him in this harem, which illuminated him every day.
Now the candles in Fengqi Palace are still on every night, but that charming figure is far away and out of his reach.
At this moment, even Ji Wuyuan herself had to admit that without her, the imperial city would lose its prosperity at night, revealing its original dark background, just like a huge cage.
The night was as dark as ink, and the palace was full of buildings. Ji Wuyuan stood on a high step with his hands behind his back, his black and gold robe fluttering in the wind...
His deep eyes looked into the distance.
Soon, the leader of the secret guards, Fei Yu, hurried over to report.
"Your Majesty..."
Fei Yu knelt on one knee and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty has opened three new clinics and two pharmacies in Yunzhou, and has established a rule: for the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, we will provide consultations and prescriptions free of charge."
"I work from sunrise to sunset every day. Although it's hard work, I look a little fatter, more energetic, and in better shape."
As he spoke, he held out a scroll of plain paper in both hands and placed it in front of Ji Wuyuan, lowering his voice a bit: "Your Majesty, this is the portrait of the Empress."
The portrait was sent from Jiangnan, and was also specially ordered by Ji Wuyuan in advance.
Obviously, just hearing the news could not alleviate his longing.
Before Fei Yu finished speaking, Ji Wuyuan had already taken the portrait.
The portrait slowly unfolded in his hands, and what came into view was Jiang Wantang's stunningly beautiful and charming face.
In the painting, she is wearing a pink petal dress, with her long hair tied up in a simple bun, a pair of simple crabapple flower hairpins in her hair, and she is leaning on the railing of the small building with a charming and lazy look on her face.
The lively and agile look between her eyebrows and eyes almost seems to burst through the paper, and the most eye-catching thing is the enchanting cinnabar teardrop mole at the end of her eye.
Ji Wuyuan looked at the person in front of him whom he had been thinking about day and night, and smiled with his lips curved.
Just smiling, his eyes became moist and red.
His Tang'er...is still so beautiful.
No matter how I look at it, I can't get enough of it...
It can be seen that she is in good condition now.
Facts have proved that letting go was the right choice for him.
The night wind blew, and the portrait in Ji Wuyuan's hand trembled slightly, as if the person in the painting was smiling at him.
Ji Wuyuan's pupils trembled, and he raised his fingertips to gently touch the smiling face in the painting...
I know that lovesickness will disturb my mind, but it has already penetrated into my soul.
This situation can be eliminated, only to brow, but to the heart.
......
On this day, the morning light was just beginning to shine through, and the morning dew on the Nine Dragon Golden Stairs had not yet dispersed...
As soon as Ji Wuyuan finished his morning court session and stepped out of the Golden Dragon Palace, Fei Yu came hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, urgent news has arrived from Jiangnan!"
Feiyu looked flustered, as if something big had happened: "My Queen..."
"What happened to her?!" Ji Wuyuan's expression tightened and he asked anxiously.
Fei Yu deliberately lowered his voice, his face showing a rare tense expression: "The Queen opened a brothel in the busiest street in the area, and the Queen personally came out to attract business for the building..."
Just one sentence made Ji Wuyuan's cold face instantly turn gloomy and terrifying, and the air suddenly froze.
"Ready your horse!"
"I want to go to Jiangnan myself!"
His voice was low and his tone was as cold as an icicle piercing into bluestone bricks.
Before he finished speaking, the tall black and gold figure had already disappeared into the distance.
