Hearing the Imperial Physician's words, He Yu felt a sense of relief; it seemed that the discomfort was the cause of his mental fatigue.
However...
"Why can't she eat cold foods?" He could understand not eating greasy, meaty, or spicy foods, but what did 'cold' mean in this context?
The Imperial Physician stroked his graying beard and bowed to He Yu, saying, "Well... to be honest, I am not entirely sure myself. After all, it's uncertain and I don't know if it's appropriate."
"It's fine, Imperial Physician." He Yu felt a sudden tightness in his heart upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, the Imperial Physician continued, "Actually, I seemed to have detected a favorable pulse just now, but..."
"You mean..." He Yu's eyes widened in surprise. A favorable pulse?! The Imperial Physician shook his head. "So I'm not certain. It might be because the time is still short; we will need to wait about a month and a half to confirm if it is indeed a favorable pulse."
Yun Zhu and the other two girls exchanged glances, all somewhat stunned by the Imperial Physician's words, their expressions reflecting their confusion.
He Yu also felt a bit dizzy. Seeing He Yu looking somewhat lost, the Imperial Physician sighed and wore an expression that suggested he already knew this would happen. "Prince, do not rejoice too early. This favorable pulse is not something I can ascertain with certainty; I dare not make assumptions."
"It's alright," He Yu waved his hand dismissively. "Zhang Taiyi has always been skilled with women and children; if you say so, then it must be true."
Zhang Taiyi sighed before continuing, "However, the princess's pregnancy has not yet been confirmed. If she has been startled or agitated, we cannot be sure if the child can be preserved..."
At this point, the entire room fell silent. The air quickly became tense, and He Yu's expression changed as he immediately asked, "Then what should I do..."
Looking at the only heir of the He family, Zhang Taiyi felt a pang of sympathy and sighed again. He waved his hand and said, "All we can do is try to preserve it. For the next few days, follow my instructions regarding her diet. The princess's health has never been good; even gentle medicinal herbs may be too strong for her. We can only use food to gradually nourish her. Additionally, during this time, she must rest quietly; she cannot suffer any more injuries or illnesses. We must protect her heart; perhaps there is still hope for this child."
Upon hearing this, He Yu breathed a sigh of relief; there was finally a glimmer of hope. Just as he was about to speak up, Zhang Taiyi waved his hand again and said, "I know what you want to say, Prince. Since I am aware of this matter now, I will take care of this pregnancy myself. I will come to check her pulse every three days for now and will visit once every ten days once the pregnancy stabilizes."
"Then I must thank Zhang Taiyi." At this moment, He Yu could no longer care about the authority and demeanor of the prince, hurriedly expressing gratitude. He then instructed Zhao Hezhong to follow the physician to the study to copy down the dietary prescriptions and some precautions, and to properly escort Zhang Taiyi back to the palace.
Zhao Hezhong accepted the order and took the physician to the study in the front courtyard.
He Yu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Xiao Yao's sleeping face with deep concern. How could she have changed so much in such a short time? He had intended to spare her from suffering, but unexpectedly, it turned out this way. He Yu secretly resented himself for not protecting her well enough.
At this moment, Yun Zhu had made arrangements and quietly entered, kneeling before the prince, "Your Highness."
Following her, Yun Yue and Yun Bi also came in. Seeing the situation, they were at a loss for what to do and stood frozen in place. He Yu glanced at Yun Zhu, then looked at Yun Yue and Yun Bi, saying, "Take good care of the princess."
"Yes," Yun Yue and Yun Bi quickly responded.
Then, He Yu stood up and said, "You come with me."
This was directed at Yun Zhu, who hurriedly got up and followed He Yu out. Yun Zhu understood that the prince wanted to avoid disturbing the princess.
He Yu did not go to the main hall of the bedroom but instead arrived at the Warm Pavilion, speaking in a deep voice, "What happened today? Explain everything clearly to me!"
Yun Zhu straightened her expression and quickly recounted everything that had happened today, from the Sun Family slandering the Xuanping Prince's Mansion to Xiao Yao's injury, detailing every aspect for fear of missing any details.
The more He Yu listened, the darker his expression became. He slammed his hand on the armrest, "Where are the people from the Sun Family!"
"They should be in the front courtyard," Yun Zhu replied. Since entering the prince's residence, she had never seen him so furious and couldn't help but swallow hard before speaking cautiously.
"Go!" He Yu said darkly. If it weren't for the Sun Family's earlier provocation, Yao Yao wouldn't have left early, and if she hadn't left early, she wouldn't have run into the Eldest Prince, and she wouldn't have been injured! The more he thought about it, the more He Yu felt that the Sun Family was utterly unforgivable as he walked into the front courtyard.
He happened to see the beaten Sun Family. The mother and son were supporting each other, waiting for their master to come and collect them. However, instead of their master, they were met with the grim-faced He Yu. The Sun Family couldn't help but tremble as they held onto Sun Ruoyu, shivering and kneeling down. "We, we pay our respects to Xuanping Wang."
"It seems that the beating was still too light," He Yu sneered coldly. "You can still speak."
The Sun Family trembled uncontrollably. "Wang, Wang Ye, spare us! We, we truly know our mistakes and won't dare again... never again..."
"Dare?" He Yu crouched down, staring at his prey like a beast on the edge of fury, "You Sun Residence have repeatedly provoked my Xuanping Prince's Mansion. What? Is it because you have Yang Yunzhe backing you that you feel invincible?"
The Sun Family could barely form a complete sentence as they stuttered, "I... I didn't... I..." Before they could finish their defense, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted on the ground.
He Yu stood up and disdainfully kicked the Sun Family, landing a kick right on their recently beaten backside. Even in unconsciousness, the Sun Family twitched in pain with a cry. He Yu snorted coldly and said, "Quickly get Sun Ping to come and take this person away so that they don't dirty my prince's mansion!"
"Yes," the guard replied.
Sun Ruoyu stepped forward to support the Sun Family while secretly glancing at He Yu. From her perspective, He Yu appeared especially lofty and unapproachable. She quickly lowered her head, her face turning slightly red as her gaze kept drifting toward He Yu.
However, He Yu had no time to pay attention to this woman before him; he didn't even bother to look at her and simply told them to hurry up and leave!
He hurried toward the Central Courtyard. Zhao Hezhong had just come by; Yao Yao was already awake, and he needed to check on her quickly.
As for the Eldest Prince and Fourth Prince along with the Sun Residence?
He Yu thought to himself that he would eventually settle this score with them.
As he quickly walked into the room, Xiao Yao had already woken up and was sitting on the bed, sipping water slowly. Now, even drinking water had to be done sip by sip, fearing it would affect her stomach.
"Yao Yao!" He Yu hurried into the room, and seeing him, Xiao Yao tried to sit up. "Your Highness."
Seeing Xiao Yao trying to get up, He Yu quickly stepped forward. "Don't move; you're not feeling well. Be careful not to hurt yourself again."
"I'm not that delicate," Xiao Yao said with a smile, shaking her head. "I just bumped it a little; I'll be fine after some rest. Look at how nervous you all are."
He Yu struggled internally for a moment before smiling and saying, "How can I not be nervous? You are my princess, naturally precious beyond measure; even losing a single hair is unacceptable."
This person... sigh... Xiao Yao found it quite amusing. She then remembered to ask, "By the way, where's Sister Su?"
"I sent her back; you don't need to worry about that," He Yu kissed the top of her head. "Your current task is to take good care of yourself. I can't be here all the time, and you end up like this. How can I feel at ease?"
"Uh... I didn't do it on purpose," Xiao Yao said playfully as she hooked her finger on He Yu's clothing.
He Yu shook his head, poked Xiao Yao's nose, and said helplessly yet fondly, "You only rely on me spoiling you."
Xiao Yao covered her nose and buried herself in He Yu's embrace, giggling.
Still feeling too weak, Xiao Yao chatted for a while before becoming tired and falling asleep again. He Yu tucked her in properly before quietly leaving the room and also found the three maidservants.
Yun Zhu looked at the situation and realized that the prince probably did not want to tell the princess that she was already pregnant. Confused, she asked, "Why doesn't the prince tell the princess?"
"Her health is not good. If she worries about this matter, it will only make her condition worse," He Yu replied irritably.
After being scolded by He Yu, Yun Zhu immediately fell silent. He Yu pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing during this time is to ensure that the princess has no burdens on her mind. All invitations sent from outside should be delivered to the study in the front courtyard and not sent to the princess. Furthermore, regarding the princess's pregnancy, until Zhang Taiyi confirms it, no one is allowed to let the princess know. You must keep a tight lid on the mouths of all the servants; if the princess finds out, I will hold you accountable!"
His last words were particularly severe. The four of them knelt down in unison and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, we will definitely obey your orders!"
He Yu fixed his gaze on these individuals before him. They were some of the most important people around him and Yao Yao, and aside from him and Yao Yao, they held the highest positions in the Xuanping Prince's Mansion. Even the two women in the back courtyard likely had less influence than these four.
"Get up," He Yu said in a deep voice. "Since that's settled, I hope you can accomplish this task. You are all trusted aides of me and the princess; I hope you won't let us down."
"We will not fail in our duty," the four replied in unison.
With their assurances, He Yu finally stood up. "Alright, go back to what you were doing."
"Yes." Except for Zhao Hezhong, who stood beside He Yu, Yun Zhu, Yun Yue, and Yun Bi all retreated to get busy with their tasks.
