Saint Ruanâs heart turned cold, âThis is really the end.â
Su Yingxue knows how to cause trouble!
Sheâs still so reckless with a four-month pregnancy!
âYour Majesty, I didnât mean to do it, Sister Jinyan had a difficult labor, and without surgery, both she and the childâs livesâ¦â
âHer life and the childâs life matter, but donât Our childâs life matter as well? Before you sacrifice yourself for others, canât you think of Us and the child first? Is this why you insisted on staying at the Marquisâs Manor and refused to return to the palace with Us? Are you that unwilling to be with Us, to consider Our feelings?â
Chu Yihanâs face, usually incomparably handsome, was now full of sadness and loss.
When he heard the news today and learned that Su Yingxue had ridden a horse from the Marquisâs Manor in a frenzy, he couldnât even sit still on the dragon throne; his heart was suspended high in the air.
Upon arriving at the Thousand-Jiao Pavilion, he heard that Su Yingxue was performing a cesarean for Wu Jinyan!
He was frantic with worry, yet he could not disturb her during the surgery.
Seeing her now, pale-faced, he was truly furious!
Could she only consider others and not care for him and their child?
âYour Majesty, I know I was wrong, Iâ¦â
Su Yingxue hadnât finished speaking when she suddenly blacked out and fainted.
She wanted to apologize to Chu Yihan, wanted to tell him it wasnât intentional, that she didnât mean to make him worry!
She was just anxious and wanted to save Sister Jinyan!
It wasnât that she didnât care about him; she cared greatly!
But she⦠simply didnât have the strength to say it.
âYingxue! Yingxue!â
Chu Yihan quickly embraced her, feeling as if his heart had been fiercely punched.
Inside the imperial palace, everyone from the Marquis of Martial Southâs Manor, including Su Qingzhi, knelt outside Chu Yihanâs sleeping chamber. Su Yingxueâs fainting had enraged Chu Yihan.
Qin Wan was still reprimanding Su Han and Su Miaoyan, âYou two are completely out of line. Knowing that Her Majesty is four months pregnant, how could you burden her with work? Now that Her Majesty has fainted, do you realize the severity of this crime?â
It was just a household mistake that they hadnât taken proper care of Su Yingxue.
But now, Su Yingxue is the empress, and any mishap becomes a lapse of duty for the entire Marquis of Martial Southâs Manor!
Even Su Qing, who was over seventy years old, would be implicated.
Knocking her head on the floor heavily, Su Han was filled with guilt, âMother, itâs my fault for not being able to persuade Yingxue.â
âAnd me, I was too hasty. If I had calmly spoken to Sister Xue, she wouldnât have ridden so fast, and she wouldnât have fainted.â
Su Miaoyan was also full of self-reproach.
If anything happened to Su Yingxue and the child in her womb, she would feel guilty for a lifetime.
âWhatâs the use of saying these things now? Hanâer, you are increasingly disappointing me! Mother told you not to go out and show off, but you insisted! Look at the mistakes youâve made now! Even before you were married, you wouldnât have made such mistakes!â
Disappointment filled Qin Wanâs eyes.
Su Han, overwhelmed with guilt, had teary eyes and remained silent, her gaze lowered.
âEnough, this isnât the time to scold them. If Yingxue is fine, thereâs no need to punish them,â Su Qingzhi sighed heavily, âItâs my negligence for not sending someone to take care of Wu Jinyanâs child. Hanâer was too busy to manage on her own.â
If Su Yingxue hadnât been there today, that child would have died in childbirth, and Su Hao, upon his return, would have been devastated as well.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This was a dilemma either way.
âAlas!â
Qin Wan shook her head helplessly, âLet us hope that the empress is blessed by heaven and remains safe and sound.â
âYingxue⦠she will definitely be alright,â Su Yingxue clenched the hem of her dress tightly with both hands.
