Chapter 148 Jiang Hui is Pregnant
In the dark and cold dungeon, a few torches barely illuminated the cage-like iron door, and there were a few muffled coughing sounds from the cage.Nan Guozhen, who was wearing prison clothes, sat against the cold wall, his hands and feet were baked by iron chains, and the dried dark red blood stains on the prison clothes made him extremely embarrassed.

Squeak... The door of the dungeon was opened, and with the sound of several people's footsteps, a few strong lights came in, making Nan Guozhen, who was sitting against the wall, squint his eyes.A woman in a gorgeous floral dress came over, and she said to the jailer behind her, "Open the door, and apply this bottle of anti-inflammatory ointment to his wound."

Nan Guozhen's empty eyes looked at this woman, and he recognized her as a butterfly.

"What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I'll heal you." Butterfly replied lightly.

Nan Guozhen despised the butterfly, and said 'uh', although he didn't say the phrase "you would be so kind", but the other party replied as if he guessed it, "don't get me wrong, it's not that I want to heal your wounds, it's that you were treated by others. Trust me, I am not interested in the life and death of Youzhou King, and everything I do is to follow orders."

Entrusted?Nan Guozhen was bewildered and allowed the jailer to remove his prison clothes and apply medicine.

The jailer looked at Nan Guozhen's festering and pus-feeding wound, and he couldn't bear to look at it.Because Nan Guozhen's wound was not treated well, the wound became inflamed, and the night's jolting on the fast horse made the inflammation more severe, and he was imprisoned in a cold dungeon and contracted typhoid fever.

The jailer gently applied the medicine foam on the wound. The cold medicine made Nan Guozhen groan twice in pain.After applying the ointment, the jailer handed Nan Guozhen another bowl of medicinal soup for treating typhoid fever.Although Nan Guozhen took the bowl of medicinal soup hesitantly, he finally finished it in one gulp.

Butterfly asked in confusion: "You, don't ask me who entrusted me, are you afraid that this bowl is poison?"

"Say it or not, it's up to you."

"She said, miss you!"

After conveying the message, Butterfly thought that there would be waves on Nan Guozhen's face. Unexpectedly, there was no wave on Nan Guozhen's face, and he sat quietly against the wall.In fact, Nan Guozhen has mixed feelings in his heart. Although he is not sure who the "she" in Die Die's mouth refers to, he guesses it will be Jiang Hui.

Butterfly left with the two jailers.

…………

Three days passed.

Shen Yu also discussed the exchange of Nan Guozhen with him in the future, and Jiang Hui paced around the room restlessly, worried that Shen Yu would not abide by the agreement and the situation would change.

So Jiang Hui went to the main hall to look for Shen Yu, but when she left the gate of the side hall, she was stopped by the guards of the side hall, and only then did she realize that she was under house arrest by Shen Yu.

How to do?If she can't get out, she can't deliver the news. Jiang Hui thought of pretending to be sick.

The wind was very strong at night, Jiang Hui quietly got up and opened the window, wearing a single piece of clothing to face the wind.

The next day, the servant girl reported to Shen Yu in a panic, "Princess Youzhou is ill."

When Shen Yu learned about Jiang Hui's illness, she put down her important tasks and hurried to visit the side hall.

Coming to the side hall, Shen Yu quickly walked to the edge of the bed, looking at the haggard Huier, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel distressed and put his hand on Huier's forehead to feel the temperature.

"It's so hot, why is it like this?"

Shen Yu asked the four maidservants serving Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui wanted to cry a little, but she wanted to pretend to be sick to attract gloomy attention, but she thought of blowing cold wind in order to pretend to be a little bit, she didn't think that her body would be so weak and she would actually fall ill.

Jiang Hui saw the long-awaited smile blooming on Shen Yu's face at that moment, and said softly, "My lord, do you finally wish to see Hui'er?"

"Hui'er, I'm sorry! The adults are busy these days so I didn't look at you."

"Witch doctor, get madam's pulse." Shen Yu said to the accompanying witch doctor.

The witch doctor glanced at Jiang Hui in astonishment, thinking that he had heard wrongly, when did the prime minister marry a wife.

Not only the witch doctor thought he had heard wrong, but even the people in the temple thought he had heard wrong.

"Why are you still standing there, feel the pulse for Madam." Shen Yu shouted.

"Yes Yes Yes"

When Jiang Hui heard Shen Yu calling the witch doctor to take his pulse, she got up in a panic and said, "My lord, Hui'er just has a common cold and doesn't need to see a doctor. She will recover after two days of rest."

Seeing Jiang Hui's flustered expression, Shen Yu comforted her and said, "Hui'er doesn't need to worry, our great witch's medical skills are even more exquisite than the imperial doctor's."

The maid brought a stool for the witch doctor, and the witch doctor sat down and felt Jiang Hui's pulse with a solemn expression.

"Wizard, how is Madam's illness?"

The witch doctor looked more serious at Wanmai, as if he wanted to say something but dared not.

"Wizard, what is Madam's illness?" Shen Yu asked again.

"Um... Ma'am... I'm suffering from the wind and cold, so it's not a big problem." The witch doctor replied hesitantly.

"Then, why are you still kneeling, hurry up and prescribe medicine for Madam?" Shen Yu sent.

"Madam's wind chill is not a big problem, but..."

"But what, don't hesitate to speak quickly."

With the words of depression, the witch doctor said with confidence: "The wind and cold are good, but the fetus in Madam's womb shows signs of miscarriage."

The witch doctor's words were like a thunderbolt passing by the ear, the hall was dumbfounded, and everyone was stunned.

Jiang Hui lowered her head in fear and covered her stomach, not daring to look directly into her gloomy and astonished eyes.

whee!

Shen Yu suddenly laughed happily, but everyone could tell that the laughter was not from a happy laugh, and there was a trace of tearing pain in the laughter.

"Madam, you are pregnant, why didn't you tell me."

At this moment, Jiang Hui was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

"Witch doctor, no matter what method you use, you must keep the fetus in Madam's womb." Shen Yu said with a bit of deterrence.

The witch doctor paused, and replied: "Yes", and stepped back to prescribe medicine for Jiang Hui.

After the witch doctor withdrew, Shen Yu said to the four maidservants: "You also retreat and go to the dining room to prepare some food for Madam."

The four maidservants stepped back with a sound of 'No'.

Only the servant girl Ding Xiang was left in the hall, looking at Ding Xiang with gloomy eyes, telling Ding Xiang to step down.

The master is pregnant but can't back down, no matter how Shen Yu winks, Ding Xiang still stands by the edge of the bed, not allowing Shen Yu to take advantage of the opportunity to hurt the baby in her womb.

Shen Yu dismissed everyone because he wanted to talk privately with Jiang Hui, and it was very embarrassing for Shen Yu to be here for the ignorant Ding Xiang.

Jiang Hui understood that Shen Yu dismissed everyone because she had something important to say to herself.Even if someone who retreated depressedly wanted to kill him, Ding Xiang would not be able to protect him.

"I feel nauseated and want something sour. Ding Xiang goes to Shanliang to get some oranges for my sister."

Jiang Hui knew that if Shen Yu wanted to hurt her unborn child, even if Lilac was there, she would not be able to protect her.

"I'm afraid the oranges in the dining room will be poisonous, so Miss let Ding Xiang go to the street to buy some fresh oranges."

Huier looked gloomy with questioning eyes.

Ding Xiang's words immediately embarrassed Shen Yu.

To prevent Ding Xiang from contacting the outside world, Shen Yu got up and went outside the temple to call two guards to accompany Ding Xiang to the street to buy oranges.

Ding Xiang left, only Jiang Hui and Shen Yu were left in the hall, but the atmosphere in the hall was still dignified and embarrassing...

Jiang Hui didn't want to turn the corner anymore, and asked, "My lord, are you going to kill Hui'er and the unborn baby?"

Looking at Jiang Hui in depression and astonishment, he said, "You don't believe my lord? Did your lord make it clear that this child is us, and of course my lord must keep our child."

Jiang Hui couldn't figure out whether Shen Yu said to the witch doctor, "You must keep the fetus," was the truth or an irony.

Jiang Hui saw that Shen Yu was deceiving himself and others, and asked which man would help his rival raise a child.

"My lord, are you really not deceiving yourself?"

Shen Yu protected his painful heart with his left hand, and said: "My lord, I can forgive you and spare the child in your womb, but this child must only recognize me as its father."

Listening to the extremely gloomy and ridiculous words, Jiang Hui held the corner of the quilt tightly with both hands and laughed... with a hint of bitterness in her laughter.
