Chapter 322

By not letting Yanzhi go out but instead sending Yin Lan, Cheng\'s side would not notice any movements from Changfeng Pavilion.

Gu Ying reclined halfway, a scalding hot towel on her forehead, and the pain alleviated slightly. But it was only superficial, as there was still an incessant ache deep inside her head.

She was used to enduring pain. Feeling like it was not as bad now, her expression relaxed.

As Yin Lan massaged her temples, she said, "This afternoon Cheng sent someone over again to investigate about Sun Mammy\'s matters. I saw that they seem rather impatient, so it appears Miss is right that Sun Mammy must have some secret that Cheng fears she might leak out."

With eyes comfortably closed, Gu Ying said, "How is Sun Mammy now?"

Biting her lip with a smile, Yin Lan replied, "With no food or water, she was cursing up a storm at first, trying to make trouble. But now realizing we are serious, she can\'t hold out much longer. She\'s slumped in the grass pile, loudly saying the Madam will save her, telling us to wait and see. As the Madam instructed today, I went to undermine her further, telling her that Cheng\'s side is already prepared to give up on rescuing her. But she still doesn\'t believe it now, stubbornly keeping her mouth shut."

Gu Ying closed her eyes. Cheng had been honored and wealthy for a lifetime in her past life. Although Zhao Changxing was useless, in the end the Zhao family still controlled the Li\'s court. As a princess consort she must have been extremely proud. It was just a pity for Adou\'s birth mother, who did not get to enjoy any of it and lost her life.

"Wait two more days. She\'ll have no choice but to believe it."

"The Madam speaks correctly."

Yin Lan had just taken away the towel when Yanzhi happily entered the room. "Madam, the Heir has returned from Chunshan Court!"

The corners of Gu Ying\'s mouth turned up. "Go prepare some food and drinks."

She had specifically let the kitchen stew chicken soup and prepare hangover medicine, afraid the Heir might not have eaten well outside and had arranged his favorite foods as well.

Carrying sweets from QinFang Studio, when Zhao Changdu entered the room he immediately smelled the floral fragrance drifting out.

The young girl in a green dress and pale yellow top smiled as she came over. All the exhaustion he felt instantly disappeared, replaced by the refreshingly clean scent. Reaching out, he wrapped his wife and child in his embrace, and kissed her on the lips in front of Yanzhi and Yin Lan.

Having long been used to this, Yin Lan pulled the shocked Yanzhi, who had covered her mouth, out of the room.

In the hazy late spring, the breeze was cool. With the doors of Changfeng Pavilion wide open, the man held her tightly, intensely reluctant to part.

Face completely flushed, Gu Ying put her arms around his slender waist, tilting her chin up to receive his deep kiss.

Her breathing gradually grew chaotic. Zhao Changdu did not intend to let her go either, his large hand gripped her lower back forcefully. His dark phoenix eyes were brimming with desire.

With great difficulty, the man finally restrained himself. Pressing his forehead to hers, his voice was extremely low and somewhat hoarse. "Yingying, did you cast a spell on me? How else could I miss you this much?"

They had only been apart one day.

"Me too..."

"What do you mean?"

"I was missing you too," she said, her voice trembling slightly, like a hook cast out by a fox spirit.

Due to her pregnancy, Zhao Changdu had not touched her intimately for a month already. Hearing the unconsciously seductive gentle voice of the young girl now, it truly was...his body felt like it was being fried in boiling oil.

He carried her and set her down on the couch, his fiery gaze fixed intensely upon her for a long while.

Gu Ying\'s cheeks were burning. She had thought after so long the Heir would be appeased, at the very least he would want to be close to her. She did not expect him to close his eyes, the thick desire in them instantly cooling down. "I heard your head still hurts. I\'ll have Yu Gu come take a look."

Seeing him about to release her, Gu Ying reached out to grab his embroidered dark patterned lapel, biting her lip unsatisfactorily. "Why doesn\'t Adou touch me anymore?"

"You\'re pregnant, you need to nurture your health."

"The doctor said it\'s fine."

"Yingying, don\'t make trouble."

"I\'m not making trouble, I\'m serious..." When the Heir does not show affection, for no reason she feels insecure deep down. Most likely because of the pregnancy, people tend to overthink. And the Heir had rejected her too many times recently, making her feel like she lacked charm.

She slid her hand from his waist down. Her eyes were dark and moist, the corners tinged red as she looked up alluringly like a fox spirit.

"Just say it, are you still a man?"

Zhao Changdu raised his dense, dark eyebrows. His gaze was fierce as a wolf\'s.

Gu Ying looked up to kiss his cheek and earlobe, thinking he was about to give in. She did not expect the man to reach out and pull her from his embrace. His face was frigid and abstinent, not having any such ideas at all.

"Silly girl, that\'s not how you seduce a man."

Gu Ying was annoyed and embarrassed. As a woman, she had failed too hard!

Just as she was wondering if she should try some other method to entice the Heir, she heard light coughing from the doorway, abruptly halting her next actions.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Ying\'s small hand froze. Her ear lobes suddenly burned hotly.

How embarrassing, to let an elder catch her in the act... What\'s more, she was the proactive one.

Yu Gu stood respectfully at the door, a thick black headscarf on her head and a cloth masking her face, only revealing a pair of pretty eyes. Those eyes were calm and peaceful, but in this moment, Gu Ying clearly sensed displeasure flash in Yu Gu\'s eyes.

Gu Ying quickly gathered her collar to cover herself, pretending nothing had happened as she calmly let out a breath and sat properly.

The Heir respected Yu Gu greatly, so Gu Ying liked her more too.

However Yu Gu was not easy to get along with, of a loner personality. Although highly skilled in medicine, she would not treat just anyone. So whenever possible Gu Ying avoided finding her.

Since it was the Heir who called her over, Gu Ying could only obediently listen and sit in the chair for Yu Gu to take her pulse.

Yu Gu\'s indifferent gaze swept over the bite mark on Gu Ying\'s fair collarbone, then looked at her bulging stomach with knitted brows.

Gu Ying did not notice Yu Gu\'s stare. She ordered Yin Lan and Yanzhi to bring the food in, setting up the short legged table to the side for the Heir to dine while smiling at her.

Gu Ying huffed at him angrily. Then she felt Yu Gu\'s fingers on her wrist exert some strength.

After taking her pulse, Gu Ying looked seriously at Yu Gu. "Yu Gu, I don\'t know why I get these headaches?"

Yu Gu said mildly, "When Madam was pregnant, might you have suffered wind invasion?"

Gu Ying was speechless. "Yes..."

Unaware of her pregnancy, she had traveled on the road, traversing mountains and rivers without much care for her body.

Yu Gu said, "That is the root of the illness. Madam suffered wind cold invasion, allowing wind evils to invade the brain marrow. That naturally causes headaches. Pregnant women are inherently weak. With wind evils entering the body, not only does it affect Madam\'s own health but the child in the womb as well. Like this, even if the child is born it will be sickly and frail, needing medicine to nurture its health every year."

Gu Ying\'s brows knitted slightly. She could sense Yu Gu\'s displeasure with her, and also feel that Yu Gu did not like the child in her belly.
