Empress Zhangsun appeared even more dignified and elegant, dressed in a magnificent purple palace gown, with several pearl hairpins adorning her hair, revealing an innate noble temperament in every gesture.
She listened quietly as Su Ye recounted the war outside, occasionally interjecting with words that revealed her boundless admiration for him.
The four chatted and laughed in the pavilion of the mansion, the atmosphere was extremely harmonious. But at this moment, Wei Zifu's expression suddenly changed, her brows furrowed slightly, her body swayed slightly, and then she dry-heaved. The sudden nausea caught her off guard, and she quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Su Ye's heart tightened, and he unconsciously stopped holding the ivory fan, his eyes instantly filled with worry.
"Zifu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
He quickly got up, walked to Wei Zifu's side, and gently patted her back, his voice filled with anxiety.
Wei Zifu shook her head, her face slightly pale, but a hint of shyness and unease flashed in her eyes. She said softly, "Your Highness, I...I don't know either. I suddenly felt a little nauseous. Maybe...maybe..."
As she spoke, her voice lowered even further, and a blush rose to her cheeks.
Su Ye's heart stirred, and an indescribable joy surged into his heart like a tide. He already had a rough guess in his mind, and a hint of surprise and anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"Zifu, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll be here for you."
"Come on, lie down and rest for a while."
He gently grasped Wei Zifu's hand, his heart filled with a subtle surge of emotion.
As he spoke, he carefully helped Wei Zifu lie down on the soft couch beside him, and then carefully covered her with a thin blanket.
"Wu Gou, Yi Guang, you two stay with Zi Fu for now, I'll be right back."
Then, he turned to look at Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi beside him, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Someone, where is Zhongkang? Quickly, go and fetch him!"
Before the two could respond, Su Ye strode towards the door, shouting instructions as he went.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Before long, Xu Chu, a man of imposing stature and a face as red as a jujube, hurriedly arrived, knelt on one knee, and bowed.
"Zhongkang, quickly go and invite the Medicine King Master Sun Simiao from the Divine Martial Pavilion of Tianheng Prefecture. Be quick!"
Su Ye's expression was a mixture of anxiety and joy as he quickly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu was puzzled, but seeing that Su Ye's expression was different from usual, he did not dare to ask any more questions. He replied "Yes" and turned to leave, his steps swift and agile.
Su Ye returned to the room and saw that Wei Zifu had closed her eyes. Changsun Wugou and Xi Shi were gently comforting her. He felt a little relieved, but the anxiety in his eyes did not diminish.
"Zifu, don't be afraid. Master Sun's medical skills are superb. He is known as the King of Medicine. With Master Sun here, he will surely know what's going on."
He sat on the soft couch, gently took Wei Zifu's hand, and whispered.
Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi also noticed Su Ye's anticipation and nervousness. They smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with blessings for Wei Zifu and longing for their own future.
"Your Highness, Sister Zifu is surely alright, so please don't worry too much."
Xi Shi glanced at Su Ye, who looked somewhat anxious, and said softly.
"Yes, Your Highness, Sister Zifu is very blessed; there will surely be good news."
Empress Zhangsun nodded and said gently.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment, each second feeling like torture.
Finally, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar, and Xu Chu led an old man with white hair and beard, who had an air of otherworldly wisdom, into the house.
"My lord, Sun Simiao is here. May I ask who is unwell?"
The old man was none other than Sun Simiao, the Medicine King. Upon seeing Su Ye, he bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Sun, please check on Zifu quickly. She suddenly feels nauseous. I'm afraid it might be..."
Su Ye quickly stood up, gave up his seat, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Sun Simiao's expression softened. Looking at Wei Zifu's rosy complexion, as the King of Medicine, his superb medical skills allowed him to roughly judge the patient's condition just by looking at her face.
Given the current situation of our lord's wife, it's probably...
With some guesses in mind, Sun Simiao quietly walked to the soft couch, covered Wei Zifu's wrist with a red silk scarf, and then carefully took Wei Zifu's pulse.
The room fell silent instantly; everyone held their breath, anxiously awaiting the result.
"Congratulations, my lord! Your wife is pregnant!"
A moment later, Sun Simiao's eyebrows twitched, and then a smile appeared on his face. He looked up at Su Ye and cupped his hands in congratulations.
These words caused an uproar in the room. Empress Zhangsun and Xi Shi were taken aback at first, then looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of joy.
"Zifu, can you hear me? We're having a baby!"
Su Ye was so excited that he couldn't speak. He held Wei Zifu's hand tightly, his eyes shining with a faint light, and said in a trembling voice.
"Your Highness, is it true? Are we really going to have a child?"
"It's true, Zifu, thank you for giving me such a big surprise."
Su Ye nodded heavily, his eyes full of tenderness.
Meanwhile, not far from Su Ye's residence, in Meng Wei's home, a wisp of elegant incense rose gently, mingling with the fragrance of flowers drifting in from outside the window, creating a tranquil and warm atmosphere.
At this moment, Princess Meng Wei of Yun was sitting by the window, holding an ancient book in her hand, but her eyes kept drifting to the outside of the window, and she had a vague sense of expectation in her heart.
Although she was reading, her mind was already on Su Ye, thinking about the various changes in the mansion recently, especially the appearance of Su Ye's several confidantes, which made her feel both gratified and slightly worried.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Oh no, it's wonderful news!"
Just as she was deep in thought, a maid dressed in emerald green hurried in, her face showing a mixture of eagerness and joy.
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic? Speak slowly, you're so hasty!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Wei raised an eyebrow, put down the book in her hand, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.
"It's from His Highness's side. News just came from his residence that Lady Wei Zifu suddenly vomited, and His Highness has already hurriedly dispatched General Xu Chu to invite the venerable Master Sun Simiao, the Medicine King!"
The maid took a breath and then smiled.
Upon hearing this, Meng Wei immediately understood, and an indescribable joy welled up in her heart.
"What a wonderful occasion! Quickly, prepare the sedan chair; I want to go see it right away!"
She suddenly stood up, gently patting her clothes with both hands, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Before the maid could respond, Meng Wei had already strode towards the door, her steps light as if she were ten years younger.
Her heart was already filled with anticipation for the new life that was about to arrive—the bloodline of her son, the future hope of the Su family, or rather, her Meng family.
