Princess Xiangsi - Chapter 191
Those were two butterflies.
When she saw Yu Wuxia and her Xi'er sleeping so peacefully, a burning jealousy ignited in her heart. Xi'er was hers, so why could she sleep so soundly next to that wretched woman?
Seeing Yu Wuxia's protruding belly, her silver eyes deepened, and a ruthless glint flashed across them.
Fengxi's child can only be her Xi'er!
She scanned the room, and her eyes lit up when she saw something on the sandalwood table. She tiptoed over to it, took the brown sugar next to the medicine, and then pulled out a similarly red piece of sugar from her waist.
Hmph! You want to eat candy instead of bitter medicine?! Hmph, now you'll suffer the bitterness!
A triumphant smile played on her lips as she walked back to Xi'er's side. Her eyes softened, and she bent down to stroke Xi'er's face, a slight upturn to her lips.
At this moment, Yu Wuxia turned over.
Shuangdie glanced at Xi'er with reluctance before quickly leaving.
Soon, Yu Wuxia woke up. She rubbed her eyes and called out, "Xiao Mei."
There was no sound outside.
Yu Wuxia shook her head, guessing that Xiaomei must have gone to the outhouse. So she supported her back and got off the bed. When she saw the still steaming medicine for preventing miscarriage on the table, she naturally walked over to it.
He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it.
After a few sips, the medicine bowl was quickly emptied. The taste was so bitter that Wuxia frowned. She quickly picked up the brown sugar next to her, and just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she felt someone tug at her skirt.
She looked down and saw Xi'er staring intently at the brown sugar in her hand.
"Tangtang..."
Yu Wuxia smiled and asked, "Xi'er wants some candy?"
"Tangtang..." Xi'er reached out to grab the brown sugar in Yu Wuxia's hand. But she wasn't high enough, and after reaching out several times, she lost her footing and fell heavily to the ground.
"Waaaah!" Xi'er started sitting on the ground and crying loudly.
Yu Wuxia's heart softened immediately upon hearing Xi'er's cries. She smiled helplessly and handed the brown sugar to Xi'er, saying, "Xi'er, be good! Don't cry! Come on, Xi'er, look what this is."
Xi'er sobbed a few times, then stopped crying. Her round eyes lit up again as she stared at the brown sugar in front of her, grinning from ear to ear, "Wow! Sugar!"
"You little glutton!" Yu Wuxia laughed. "Here's some candy for you."
Xi'er's chubby little hand grabbed the candy from Wuxia's hand and immediately stuffed it into his mouth, as if afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
Wuxia was amused by his words, so she took his small hand and walked outside.
"Xi'er, let's go out."
Having received the candy, Xi'er obediently followed Wuxia out.
About half an hour later, Yu Wuxia saw Xiaomei rushing in from outside the pavilion. Wuxia smiled and asked, "Have you finished using the outhouse?"
Xiao Mei was stunned, her mouth agape in surprise, and she stammered, "Mother... how did Your Majesty know?"
"Xiaomei, what day at this time aren't you squatting in the outhouse?"
The other palace maids giggled.
Xiaomei blushed and said shyly, "Oh dear! Your Highness, it's just a habit!" Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and asked, "Your Highness, did you take the medicine to prevent miscarriage?"
"Drink up! Xiaomei is becoming more and more like an old nanny from the palace."
Xiao Mei, however, said in a serious tone, "His Majesty instructed us to take good care of the Empress. If anything happens to the baby in the Empress's womb, Xiao Mei will lose her head."
Just then, a palace maid suddenly cried out in a panic, "Your Highness, Your Highness, why is His Highness's face so pale?"
Yu Wuxia quickly looked down.
Xi'er's face turned alarmingly pale in an instant.
"Xi'er..."
Xi'er's forehead was covered in sweat, his features seemed to be twisted together, and he looked like he was in pain.
"My stomach... hurts..."
The palace maid quickly picked up Xi'er, and Xiao Mei hurriedly went to call the imperial physician.
Soon after, the Jade Pavilion was packed with people.
Situ Xingyun, Qingyun, Lige, and everyone in the Imperial Hospital, as well as several palace maids and guards.
"Consort Yu, what's going on?" Situ Xingyun asked, frowning.
Yu Wuxia shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Xi'er became like this after eating a piece of brown sugar."
"Xingzhi, what's wrong with Xi'er?" Situ Xingyun asked after Li Ge took her pulse.
Li Ge pursed his lips and shook his head. He looked at Yu Wuxia and asked, "Your Highness, what has Xi'er eaten all day?"
Xiao Mei, who was standing nearby, replied, "His Highness the Crown Prince only drank a bowl of millet porridge today, along with the brown sugar that Her Majesty mentioned earlier."
"What brown sugar?"
Xiao Mei nodded, "Your Majesty dislikes the bitterness of medicine and always eats candied fruit after taking it. Today, we happened to run out of candied fruit, so Xiao Mei gave Your Majesty a piece of brown sugar to help with the bitterness."
Do you have any brown sugar left?
