Dong Chaofeng hurriedly rushed over, wiping his sweat and asking, “What’s wrong with the Princess Consort?”
“Go see for yourself.” Li Hongyuan said with a stern face.
Dong Chaofeng hurried to the Crystal Clear Manor, and as soon as he entered, he heard her smashing things inside.
He quickly went in, “Princess Consort, I heard that you’re not feeling well, let me take your pulse.”
“Get lost!”
“Princess Consort, don’t shun medical advice.”
“Princess Consort, let the Imperial Physician take a look.” Huang Ying and Xiachu both anxiously urged.
Xiaoman came forward, forcibly taking Jiang Ning’s hand and letting Dong Chaofeng diagnose her.
Dong Chaofeng pondered carefully for a moment, then cautiously asked, “Are you having a fever, Princess Consort?”
Huang Ying reached out to touch her forehead, which was burning hot.
“She was fine yesterday, how could she suddenly have a fever?”
“Sigh.” Dong Chaofeng sighed, “The princess consort should have taken her medicine yesterday.”
In plain terms, her breasts were engorged, and neither timely emptying nor medication was given, leading to inflammation.
Now Jiang Ning’s chest was swollen like two boulders, hard and painful, a simple touch would make her heart wrench in pain.
Moreover, since she just gave birth, her hormone fluctuations were immense, causing not only illness but also emotional depression. It’s no wonder that she is cranky.
Huang Ying was worried, “What should we do now?”
“I’ll prescribe some medicine to reduce her fever now. Also, call in two experienced midwives.”
They had to squeeze out the blocked milk, the process would be extremely painful, to say the least.
Dong Chaofeng went out to write the prescription.
Li Hongyuan found out very quickly too.
When he came over, the midwives had just arrived and were helping her to unclog the blocked ducts.
From behind the screen, he could hear her crying.
It sounded even more painful than when she was giving birth.
After the unclogging was done and the midwives had left, Li Hongyuan walked in and saw her lying on the bed, crying silently, with red eyes and nose.
Huang Ying and a few other maids paid their respects and then left the room.
Li Hongyuan sat down by the bedside and looked at her.
She raised her sleeve to wipe her tears.
Li Hongyuan handed her his own handkerchief and spoke softly, “Don’t cry.
Seeing you like this makes my heart restless.”
Jiang Ning ignored him.
She was indeed feeling depressed and tormented.
Li Hongyuan said, “If you knew it would be so painful, why didn’t you take the medicine the day before? It wouldn’t have come to this.”
He thought she would not respond, but she said with a sob, “I didn’t know, nobody taught me. I thought that if I didn’t take the medicine, I would still have milk, and after leaving here, I could feed my second child by myself.”
These words stirred a mix of emotions in Li Hongyuan’s heart.
He knew that although she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she was abducted when she was young and had never had a good life. Her foster parents died early, and when she was brought back to the mansion, her birth mother Lin Zizi was in poor mental health; she got married hastily, and there had not been enough time to pay attention to all aspects of her life.
In the end, she was just a poor, pitiable girl who was not in control of her own fate.
Li Hongyuan took the handkerchief to wipe her tears himself and spoke softly, “It’s my fault; I should have found Nanny to teach you earlier.”
It’s not that he hadn’t thought about it, but she had always been stubborn, and their encounters had always been unpleasant, so he didn’t really want to deal with her so much.
He didn’t expect that she would suffer so much because of it.
“If you want to nurse your daughter yourself, I can have her brought here. There’s no need for tears.”
“It’s easy for you to say.”
“If you were in pain, why didn’t you tell me?”
Jiang Ning didn’t respond this time.
Li Hongyuan seemed to remember something and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Although they already had a child together, they were essentially like strangers, not remembering the events they had previously experienced together.
So, it was hard for her to say that her breasts were engorged and her chest hurt unbearably..
