The last words Ling Qingwan heard were spoken by Qiao'er, and the last person she saw was also Qiao'er.
Just as she was about to comfort Qiao'er and tell her that everything was fine, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.
The doctor diagnosed that Ling Qingwan had caught a cold. For this reason, during the few hours that Ling Qingwan fainted, Shen Chengzhou, Ling Shenshi and Ling Xiao came to visit her one by one, and they were extremely worried.
Only Ling Qingwan herself didn't take it seriously.
After sitting for a while, Gu Zhi came again.
"Zhi'er, are you here to visit my brother or to see me?" Ling Qingwan teased with a smile.
Gu Zhi covered his mouth and chuckled.
"You can still joke, which proves that you are not seriously ill."
She came in and handed the supplements to Qiao'er.
Because of the cold, Shen Chengzhou made a special rule that Ling Qingwan was not allowed to go out these few days and could only rest in the house. With Gu Zhi's company, Ling Qingwan was not so bored.
About half an hour later, An Yi and Zhang Shuying arrived.
"No wonder we didn't see Zhier when we went to the Grand Secretary's Mansion just now. It turns out that Zhier is already here." Zhang Shuying said casually.
"I knew Wanwan fainted, so I rushed here without thinking much." Gu Zhi responded softly.
Ling Qingwan felt too stuffy lying in bed, so she persuaded Qiao'er to put a heater at the door. Several girls sat around it, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.
"By the way, I heard that the prince is engaged. Which girl is she from?" Zhang Shuying suddenly thought of this.
Ling Xiao is Ling Qingwan's brother. Zhang Shuying sees him often, so she is naturally curious.
Ling Qingwan and An Yi did not answer immediately, but looked at Gu Zhi at the same time.
Zhang Shuying glanced at several people and finally stopped at Gu Zhi.
"It can't be Zhier!" She widened her eyes in shock.
"right."
Ling Qingwan and An Yi responded.
"It's Zhi'er!" Zhang Shuying was shocked. "I mean, I looked for Zhi'er at the palace banquet that day but couldn't find her. It turns out that Zhi'er already had an engagement."
Several people talked about Gu Zhi's marriage, which made Gu Zhi very shy.
"Okay, Zhier, we have such a good relationship, but you didn't even tell me!" Zhang Shuying pouted.
"wrong."
She suddenly thought of something.
"Do you two know this too?"
Ling Qingwan and Ling Xiao are siblings, so it is reasonable for them to know about Ling Xiao's marriage. But An Yi knows why she doesn't know.
Zhang Shuying angrily went to a few people to ask for an explanation.
"At that time, the Princess of Northern Zhou also had a crush on the Crown Prince. The Emperor and the General's Mansion were worried that if my engagement with the Crown Prince was exposed, the Princess of Northern Zhou would target me, so they kept it secret for the time being." Gu Zhi explained to Zhang Shuying.
"What about An Yi? Why does An Yi know about this too?" Zhang Shuying was still a little unhappy.
How come they are all in the same circle, but she is the only one who keeps it in the dark
"I also went to the general's mansion to visit Wanwan before the palace banquet, and she told me along the way." An Yi said to Zhang Shuying. "Who told you not to come visit Wanwan these days? Wanwan couldn't have come to your mansion specifically to tell you."
An Yi's words were straightforward, but also reasonable.
"Okay, don't be unhappy. We all remember you in our hearts." Gu Zhi said gently.
The two had been friends for such a long time, and Gu Zhi knew Zhang Shuying's temper best. After coaxing her for a while, Zhang Shuying calmed down.
"Hey! By the way, have you heard that the princess of Northern Zhou has been suffering from severe diarrhea recently and has even invited an imperial physician to treat her." An Yi suddenly thought of this.
Ling Qingwan frowned calmly.
It seems that even after seeing so many doctors, Shang Wu still is not completely convinced that it is due to acclimatization.
"What about the imperial physician? What did he say?" Ling Qingwan asked An Yi.
"Just say it's because of the unfamiliar climate." An Yi didn't care.
"You don't know. I heard from the imperial physician that Shangwu has had diarrhea for several days. She spends every day either in her room or in the bathroom. She has been tortured to the point that she is no longer human."
An Yi seemed to be talking about something, but in fact she was gloating over someone else's misfortune.
"She deserves it. Who told her to be so arrogant in the first place? This is karma." Zhang Shuying raised her head slightly. "If you want to compete with Zhier for the title of Crown Prince, you should look in the mirror."
In her heart, Gu Zhi is naturally a thousand times better than Shang Wu.
"By the way, An Yi, why did you call a doctor? Is there something wrong with your body?" Ling Qingwan suddenly reacted and asked hurriedly.
"It's not me, it's my mother." An Yi said.
"I just want to tell you something. I want to see Hong Shang for help."
"What happened to the princess?" Gu Zhi was also a little worried.
Everyone knew that Hong Chang was an excellent doctor. Since An Yi wanted to borrow Hong Chang, it proved that the imperial physician's diagnosis was useless.
Whatever illness the princess suffers from, even the imperial physician cannot cure it.
"I don't know about that either." An Yi shook her head. "I just know that my mother has no appetite these days, often vomits, and is easily sleepy. I called the imperial physician for a diagnosis, but he couldn't find the cause. But my mother can't be feeling unwell for no reason, right?"
What An Yi said made sense. Ling Qingwan was also worried about the safety of the princess, so she asked Hong Shang to follow An Yi to the prince's mansion.
Hongchang and the princess were both women, so there were not so many rules for them. As soon as she came in, Hongchang held the princess's wrist and took her pulse.
The prince and An Yi were worried and waited behind the screen.
"Hongshang, how is my mother? Have you diagnosed her?"
As soon as Hong Chang came out, the two of them went to greet her.
"The diagnosis is out." Hong Shang said with a smile.
"Then what happened to my wife?" the prince asked impatiently.
"In reply to the prince and princess, the princess is pregnant." Hong Chang told them.
"What?"
The prince, Anyi, and the princess on the other side of the screen were all shocked.
The prince immediately rushed to the princess' bedside.
"Are you sure I'm pregnant?" The princess was skeptical.
"I am sure." Hong Chang answered firmly.
"It should not be difficult to find the pulse, so why can't the imperial doctors find it out?" An Yi asked again.
"Well, firstly, it's because of the princess' age, and part of it is due to her own physical condition. Another reason is that the princess has only been pregnant for a short time, so the pregnancy has not yet fully manifested."
After confirming that Hong Chang's diagnosis was correct, the prince's family was excited.
When the princess gave birth to An Yi, the doctor diagnosed that it would be difficult for her to have children again in her lifetime. Over the years, the doctor's words have come true one by one.
But An Yi was a girl after all. It would be nice if she was as capable as Ling Qingwan, but An Yi knew nothing about handling government affairs, let alone managing the backyard. The prince and the princess thought that the palace would be defeated by An Yi, but suddenly they had a son in their old age.
God knows how long they had been waiting for this pregnancy.
Hong Chang was happy to see the prince's family happy. She thought that if Ling Qingwan knew about this, she would be happier.
Her young lady is the kindest person.
Hong Chang diagnosed that the princess was pregnant. The prince was grateful and insisted on rewarding Hong Chang.
