Children of Loulan

Chapter 224 Take Care of Your Pregnancy

Keremu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and chuckled, "Dal is the princess's maid, so of course the dowry is paid by the princess. I am only responsible for Baixi's betrothal gift list, but..." Having said that, he deliberately paused and kept the suspense.

Hanguli asked anxiously, "But what? Stop keeping us in suspense!"

Keremu laughed and continued, "My private treasury is the princess's private treasury. Whatever the princess wants to buy, she can get it from my private treasury! Whether it's gold, silver, jewelry, silks, or rare treasures, as long as the princess asks, I will do my best to satisfy her." His words were full of pampering and generosity, which made Hanguli feel his deep love for her.

When the king heard that both of them were pregnant, he was extremely anxious and rushed to the palace where Dalan was. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Dalan, who was pale and leaning weakly on the bed. The king's heart was instantly clenched, and his love for her was beyond words.

He walked forward quickly, tightly grasped Dalan's delicate hand, and asked with concern and worry: "Lan'er, why do you look so haggard?"

Before he finished speaking, the king suddenly turned his head and glanced at Mifeti and others beside him, angrily scolding: "How did you serve the master? How could you make her so weak?"

Seeing that the king was about to get angry, Dalan quickly reached out and gently pulled his sleeve, and said softly: "Please calm down, your king. This matter has nothing to do with them. It is all my own fault. In recent days, my pregnancy reaction has been quite severe, and I have been vomiting frequently and severely, so I look so tired and exhausted."

The king frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Have you summoned the imperial physician to take the patient's pulse and treat him?"

Dalan nodded slightly and replied softly: "I have already asked the imperial physician to prescribe medicine, but it doesn't seem to be very effective."

After hearing this, the king was immediately furious and angrily cursed: "This group of incompetent people can't even mix a simple medicine! They are simply a bunch of wastes!"

However, Dalan sighed softly and comforted the king, saying, "Alas, your Majesty, please do not blame them. In fact, morning sickness is very common. Once you get through this difficult period, things will naturally get better. I hope your Majesty will be at ease and not worry too much about it."

The king looked at Dalan with a face full of pity, his eyes full of tenderness: "You have suffered so much, Lan'er. When you were pregnant with Ayitong, you vomited for two months and lost a lot of weight." Ayitong was the eldest daughter of Dalan and the king. Because she was deeply loved by the queen dowager, she was sent to the queen dowager to be raised not long ago.

The corners of Dalan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she responded softly: "I feel honored that the king cares about me so much. I still remember the embarrassment I felt when I was pregnant as a child, and the king actually remembers it in his heart." After that, she couldn't help but lowered her head shyly.

At this moment, the maid Yamanashi came in with a bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine in both hands and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, the medicine for the beauty has been boiled. Please take it on time."

The king nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. There is nothing for you to do here. Please leave for now!"

Upon hearing the king's order, several palace maids answered in unison: "Yes, sir!" Then they bowed and slowly left the room.

After everyone left, the king personally picked up the bowl of steaming pregnancy-maintaining medicine, blew on it gently a few times, and when it reached the right temperature, he carefully brought the medicine to Dalan's lips. His movements were gentle and slow, as if what he was holding in his hands was not an ordinary medicine, but a rare treasure.

After they had a meal together in Dalan's palace, he looked at her tenderly and said softly, "Lan'er, you must rest and take good care of your pregnancy! I will come to visit you when I have free time!"

Dalan nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a heart-breaking smile, and responded softly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Please forgive me for not being able to stand up and see you off."

Looking at the sensible lady in front of him, the king could not help but feel a little sad, but his mind suddenly emerged with the former king's concubine Jing. Recalling the past, he bit his lips tightly, secretly telling himself not to be soft-hearted, and then resolutely straightened his body and comforted Dalan: "Lan'er, you don't need to get up to greet her, just focus on recuperating!"

After saying this, the king turned around and gave orders to the maids serving in the palace of Dalan, asking them to take good care of Dalan and not to neglect him in the slightest. After everything was arranged, he slowly turned around and left with heavy steps.

Watching the king's back gradually disappearing, Dalan felt an indescribable pain deep in her heart. However, she was already used to such feelings.

Mi Feiti, who was standing by, saw everything that was on her master's mind. After the other palace maids left, she could no longer suppress her dissatisfaction and complained in a low voice, "My beauty, why didn't you try to keep the king? Now that you are pregnant and have so much morning sickness, the king is leaving like this!"

At first, there was a deep sense of loss in the depths of Dalan's eyes, but gradually this emotion turned into a kind of indifference and meaninglessness. She whispered softly: "Hasn't it always been like this for so many years? Besides, I am not the only one in the palace who is pregnant now. The king is so kind that he can come to visit me first!"

However, despite her words, she still felt pain in her heart. Thinking back to the past, the king had sent Yamanashi and Mangosteen to protect her out of his love for her.

At that time, she naively believed that she had already deeply occupied the king's heart. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the past few years, the king treated her in a lukewarm manner, just like treating an ordinary concubine, which caused her to suffer repeated setbacks and her full of expectations also turned into bubbles. Over time, the heart that once loved the king passionately was gradually fading away.

In fact, she had heard all kinds of rumors about the late king and the late Consort Jing. At first, she firmly believed that the king did this to protect her from harm. But as time went by, the indifference day after day made her doubtful and she could no longer believe in the king's deep love for her!

At this moment, Eunuch Aishan, who was beside the king, walked into the palace with a smile on his face, holding the imperial edict in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to Madam Lan!"

Dalan seemed a little slow, but soon he smiled and said, "It turns out that it is the father-in-law who has come to visit. Yamanashi, please go and prepare tea to entertain him!" His words were full of kindness and enthusiasm.

However, Aishan did not move, but waved his hand and said: "Madam, please don't worry, please listen to the king's will first!"

When these words were spoken, not only Mi Feiti heard them clearly, but even Yamanashi who was standing next to him also heard them clearly. They both turned their eyes to Aishan and asked in unison: "Madam?" They were obviously quite surprised by the title.

Seeing this, Aishan smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "That's right! Madam Lan, please accept my order!"
