The court physician spoke at length about the various symptoms: nausea from pregnancy, vomiting, loss of appetite, dizziness, headache…
All these symptoms appeared on his little Miss…
He felt like someone had brutally hollowed out a hole in his heart.
"When I was in the village, life was truly hard. I craved chicken soup every day, which palace guard Wei would hunt for in the mountains. Sometimes the villagers would also bring some fish. The best food that the whole village was reluctant to eat, my aunts brought it all to me."
Rong Yun cradled her belly, sighing deeply, "I used to live in luxury, never would I have thought that during my pregnancy, I would feed my child worse than myself…"
There were times when fish was not available, and she had to eat the wild vegetables that Hong Xiu and Xiao Xiang dug for her, cooked with lard. It was hard for her to swallow, but for the sake of her child's safe growth, she forced herself to eat them with tears streaming down her face.
