After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 408: It's painful

Even though the emperor was saying this, the chief eunuch standing beside him was still somewhat worried about the emperor's health.

Left with no other choice, he had to send someone to fetch the imperial physician.

Not long after, the imperial physician arrived in the main hall carrying his medicine chest.

However, the emperor didn't even glance at the imperial physician before waving him away.

"I know my own body well, and I don't need them to treat me anymore."

As the emperor spoke, he stood up.

They walked towards the entrance of the main hall.

"I need to rest for a few days. I hope the Crown Prince can handle these matters well in the meantime and not make me worry about them anymore."

The chief eunuch nodded when he heard these words.

"Sigh, when I meet the Crown Prince in a few days, I will definitely teach him a lesson."

The emperor spoke with a hint of helplessness, but the chief eunuch couldn't help but complain about the emperor, saying that he was exceptionally petty.

But the emperor still didn't say anything and walked away from the hall.

On the other side, Li Jingyang and Lin Rusi were completely unaffected by this incident.

After all, those people naturally wouldn't dare to come to their residence and cause trouble.

So it's been very quiet these past few days.

Lin Rusi was able to rest and recuperate peacefully, and Li Jingyang was able to spend his free time with her all day.

Days passed by like this, and Lin Rusi lived each day to the fullest.

Lin Rusi ate an unusually large amount every day, and Li Jingyang gradually noticed that Lin Rusi's body was becoming more and more rounded.

And just like that, the days flew by and it was time to give birth.

For some reason, in the month leading up to her delivery, Lin Rusi couldn't eat or sleep well.

Perhaps the pressure she was under was too great, which made it impossible for Lin Rusi to close her eyes and sleep.

Moreover, his appetite became extremely poor, and he would vomit whatever he ate.

Moreover, Lin Rusi is no longer as plump as before; instead, she has become even thinner.

These days, Li Jingyang has been feeling particularly sorry for Lin Rusi.

They kept bringing in lots of fresh food from outside to please Lin Rusi.

But none of these methods worked, making Lin Rusi, who was already thin, even more frail.

Looking at Lin Rusi's large belly, Li Jingyang frowned.

Moreover, Li Jingyang consulted the imperial physicians countless times during this month.

These imperial physicians could only bow and scrape before the emperor each time they went there, and dared not utter a single complaint.

However, each time they examined Lin Rusi, they found that she didn't have any other problems; it was just a normal reaction during pregnancy.

However, these words made Li Jingyang extremely angry, as he felt that these imperial physicians were completely useless.

"What use are you to me? You can't even cure Asi, yet you still receive such high salaries every year!"

Li Jingyang angrily cursed the imperial physicians in front of him, but they dared not raise their heads and kept them extremely low.

Even these imperial physicians dare not speak out against it.

However, despite their extensive search for solutions, they were unable to alleviate Lin Rusi's physical discomfort.

Left with no other choice, Li Jingyang had to seek out Lin Rusi's senior brother.

At that time, the Ghost Doctor was also looking for a medicinal ingredient near the capital.

Therefore, the guards sent by Li Jingyang were able to bring the Ghost Doctor by chance.

"Senior brother, it's really kind of you to make the trip yourself, but you should still go and see Asi..."

“She hasn’t been sleeping much or eating much these past few days.”

Li Jingyang felt immense heartache when he said these words.

And as he spoke, he walked toward Lin Rusi's bedroom.

At this time, Lin Rusi's belly was already very large, and she was close to giving birth.

The Ghost Doctor shook his head helplessly after seeing this.

He took out a few red pills from his medicine box and handed them to Li Jingyang.

"Although I'm not particularly good at production knowledge, these pills can reduce the pain."

Li Jingyang was overjoyed as he looked at the pills handed over by the Ghost Doctor.

He immediately fed the pills to Lin Rusi himself.

However, even the Ghost Doctor was helpless in the face of these circumstances.

"It seems I need to learn more about this in the future."

Hearing the Ghost Doctor say these words, Li Jingyang shook his head helplessly.

But in the end, they still saw the Ghost Doctor off.

The problem still stemmed from those same few imperial physicians.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

Lin Rusi closed her eyes and mumbled as she leaned against Li Jingyang.

This really broke Li Jingyang's heart.

He gently held Lin Rusi in his arms and stroked her back.

"It'll be over soon, our Asi is the strongest... Or maybe we shouldn't have this baby, we can't let Asi suffer like this..."

Upon hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi pouted and touched her stomach.

"That won't do. I've been pregnant for so long, how could I possibly throw this baby away..."

Lin Rusi opened her eyes as she spoke, and tears silently slid down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang panicked and immediately wiped away Lin Rusi's tears.

"Okay, okay, we'll keep this child, we won't throw him away, he's our baby..."

After hearing Li Jingyang's words, Lin Rusi finally felt at ease.

But when it came time for dinner, the imperial chefs were now suffering terribly.

Because they didn't know what kind of food they should cook to please Lin Rusi.

After all, Lin Rusi had been feeling unwell frequently these past few days, and when she was feeling unwell, she simply couldn't eat.

Therefore, he often loses his temper.

Once she loses her temper, Lin Rusi has no way to control her emotions.

Looking at the table full of food, Lin Rusi couldn't help but cry.

Tears quickly soaked the table in front of her.

Li Jingyang, who had just returned from the main hall, was extremely anxious when he saw this scene.

"Asi! What's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly? Tell me, okay..."

At this moment, Li Jingyang felt extremely distressed and held Lin Rusi tightly in his arms.

He kept gently comforting Lin Rusi.

Moreover, Li Jingyang was extremely angry at this moment, wishing he could kill everyone who had angered Lin Rusi.

"Is it because these dishes don't suit Asi's taste? Should we move to another table and eat something else?"

However, Lin Rusi just nestled in Li Jingyang's arms and sobbed.

She was crying and shaking her head.

Lin Rusi's appearance left Li Jingyang somewhat speechless.

I kept trying to comfort her, but I didn't know what else to say.

"I just suddenly feel really unwell and don't want to eat this food... I feel so awful..."
