The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 998: Chapter 996: Excessive Concern

Moreover, it’s said that the mind of an emperor is unfathomable. Chu Yihan, who had become the emperor, was no longer the man he once was.

Su Yingxue closed her eyes slightly, “Perhaps he is busy with state affairs.”

That was the only excuse she could find to comfort herself.

Her hand gently rested on her abdomen. The child inside was almost three months along, yet she still hadn’t found the right moment to tell the child’s father.

Another wave of sourness surged in her stomach, and Su Yingxue vomited several bouts of bile. Exhausted, she collapsed onto the bed, caressing her stomach and lamenting, “Child, are you blaming your mother for not letting you see your father, and so you keep rebelling against me?”

It was too much to endure!

And the little being inside her stomach, as if responding to her, made her get up to vomit once more.

Truly severe.

Chu Yihan visited Su Hao’s residence. His visit was unannounced and without prior notice. Seeing Chu Yihan in plain clothes, Su Hao quickly knelt down in surprise. Chu Yihan saw that he was engrossed in studying military maps, his study filled with various sand tables and formations. As the commander, he gave this military campaign great importance.

This attitude pleased Chu Yihan, and the two talked about the campaign until late into the night.

Chu Yihan stood up to return to the palace. When Su Hao saw that he was about to leave directly, he couldn’t help but ask, “Isn’t the emperor going to see Yingxue?”

“I had visited her before coming here. She didn’t look well. I’ll send the court physician to her once I’m back. The Marquis’s Manor is her home, and you all must take good care of her,” Chu Yihan instructed.

“Naturally. But, Your Majesty, considering Yingxue’s status, and also… aren’t you planning to bring her into the palace anymore?”

If Chu Yihan hadn’t personally visited the Marquis’s Manor today, Su Hao would never have uttered these words.

But since he had come personally, Su Hao didn’t treat him as an outsider and felt he should ask clearly on behalf of Su Yingxue.

Chu Yihan turned around, his gaze deep as he looked at him, “I have my own considerations.”

His tone was very calm, but his every move overflowed with the emperor’s dignified authority, causing Su Hao’s heart to shudder.

He knelt to send off Chu Yihan, his heart unavoidably filling with worry for Su Yingxue.

In the past, when she was a Princess, Chu Yihan would spoil her, cajole her, and allow her to be a little willful. But now that Chu Yihan had ascended to the throne, how should she live?

Besides, she was pregnant and still had not informed Chu Yihan.

With Su Hao’s departure for the campaign imminent, Su Qingzhi prepared a family banquet to see him off.

The people of the Marquis’s Manor all gathered around the table, even the long-absent Su Dingheng took his place there.

He was like a soulless puppet, coming out bewilderedly, watching the endless toasts and Su Qingzhi’s earnest warnings to Su Hao. His eyes conveyed nothing but a vacant haze.

At the entire table, the only person who sparked any desire in him to speak was Su Yingxue.

He moved closer to her and, seeing her weak appetite, picked a piece of beef for her, “You’ve lost quite a bit of weight lately. You should eat a bit more.”

Su Yingxue was taken aback. Seeing Su Dingheng’s look of concern, she found it amusing, “Thank you, I’m eating very well.”

She discarded the piece of beef Su Dingheng had picked out onto a plate. It seemed that the smell of the meat made her vomit again.

Seeing her vomit several times, Su Dingheng began to understand, “Are you pregnant? Hasn’t the emperor come to take you back to the palace?”

“No,” Su Yingxue lazily engaged in conversation with him, devoid of any emotion.

But Su Dingheng looked heartbroken. He sadly put down his chopsticks, “In the past, your mother treated me this way, and now you do the same.”
