Doctor Liu was soon called over, and he squatted to take his pulse.

After taking the pulse, he also fell into doubt. “Your body shouldn’t be like this. After taking the antidote, the toxins in your body should decrease bit by bit, especially since you have already taken it for five days. Did Your Highness eat anything or do something before this happened?”

Jin Wang couldn’t help but think of the previous scene. Her clothes were half untied, and the beautiful scene inside was revealed. Those two tender melons, not only did he eat them but he also played with them…

How could Jin Wang say these words? But fortunately, Fucheng wasn’t there as decoration.

He pulled Doctor Liu aside in a hurry and said something. Since he was standing outside, he couldn’t see what was going on inside the room. All he saw when His Highness came out was that his appearance was as if he was holding back his desires.

Doctor Liu cleared his throat. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Jin Wang spit out a mouthful of blood in the pool, then fall unconscious.

Mammy Mu arrived.

Rongxi Courtyard didn’t have a managing matron. The people serving Yaoniang were all young maids. Even after this period of time, she still couldn’t find an appropriate one. In the morning when Jin Wang came, he said he’ll arrange for Mammy Mu to come and give some guidance. Mammy Mu was a veteran from the palace and having watched Jin Wang grow up, it was natural that she understood a lot.

When Mammy Mu arrived, Xiaobao was standing while holding onto a bar. The height of the bar was compatible with his own height so by using it, he could stand on his own without the help of other people. Originally, Yaoniang didn’t want him to learn how to stand so early, but he insisted.

Xiaobao held the bar and took some small steps carefully, like a little crab. He continued to walk until he reached the end. Once he reached the end of the bar, he also knew to turn back. This cute and clever look of his caused a room of laughter.

Hong Fei, who had a lively temper, held a rattle next to him. Teasing him, she said, “Young master, come to this servant!”

Xiaobao really didn’t want to bother with these young lasses, so he pretended not to understand and just moved at his own pace.

In the midst of the laughter, Mammy Mu came.

Luyao was accompanying her.

Mammy Mu was wearing an emerald green coat paired with a turquoise skirt. Generally, women at her age would all put on some weight but Mammy Mu did not.

She wasn’t thin, but she also wasn’t fat. Full of vigour, her back was upright and she looked dignified. At first glance, she was not an ordinary person.

The laughter immediately halted.

Everyone was aware of Mammy Mu’s identity. Several maids hurriedly greeted her and bowed their knees to salute. Yaoniang also stood up and greeted her. Just as she was about to bend her knees to salute, she was held up by Mammy Mu.

She looked at Yaoniang with satisfaction in her eyes, mixed with a hint of joy. As a veteran of the palace, Mammy Mu’s emotions were always restrained. It was extremely rare for her emotions to be exhibited on her face like this.

“Your fetus isn’t completely stable yet, so remain seated whenever you can.”

The two of them approached the couch and sat down together. Hong Die offered them some tea. Mammy Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, “His Highness is worried that there are no older women in your courtyard, only young lasses. As for you, you are also still young, so he asked me to occasionally come over and offer some pointers.”

One had to admit that Mammy Mu was excellent with her words. Clearly, Yaoniang had already given birth to a child, but she didn’t mention it and even called her young. She also brought up Jin Wang worrying about her. Anyone who heard these words would feel comfortable.

Yaoniang blushed and lowered her head. “Troubled Mammy to have made a trip on such a cold day.”

“How is this trouble? These old bones of mine can still last a few more years. After a few more years, we’ll cross the bridge when we get there.”

Seeing that Mammy Mu was talking to the madam, Hong Fei wanted to bring Xiaobao away.

Xiaobao was usually obedient, but now for whatever reason, he struggled to resist Hong Fei carrying him.

Yaoniang, who had been paying attention to their movement, felt a little anxious.

His Highness might not care about Xiaobao’s existence now, but it was hard to guess with Mammy Mu. Although Mammy Mu wasn’t Jin Wang’s actual elder, she was similar to an elder. Xiaobao was her child born out of wedlock. If she didn’t have a status and the matter wasn’t exposed to everyone, then they could turn a blind eye to him and treat him as an extra mouth to feed.

But now her relationship with Jin Wang was complicated. Who knows if Mammy Mu treated Xiaobao as a thorn to the eye.

Not only did Hong Chou and the others understand this, but Yaoniang also understood it.

She didn’t want to wrong her son and she also wanted to avoid trouble, so she could only coax Xiaobao. “Xiaobao, Mom will play with you later.”

Xiaobao was still working hard, working hard to reach his hand out. But instead of reaching towards Yaoniang, he was reaching towards Mammy Mu.

Mammy Mu smiled, “This child is clever. He even knows to ask for attention. Bring him over to let me hold him. I haven’t seen him for only a few days, but he has already grown bigger.”

Hong Fei glanced at Yaoniang hesitantly. Hearing these words, Yaoniang understood Mammy Mu’s meaning and nodded to Hong Fei hurriedly. Mammy Mu noticed this gesture of hers, but she pretended not to see it.

She took Xiaobao and had him sit on her lap. Looking at him, she said, “Do you know who I am to actually want me to hold you?”

Xiaobao held her sleeve tightly, showing a toothless smile, and nodded a little.

This shocked Mammy Mu. She had lived for such a long time and had never seen such a smart baby. Most children were still ignorant by the time they were one or two years old.

Those who were getting on in age liked babies, especially their smiles. This was because of the rumours that babies could see many things that ordinary people couldn’t see. If he looked at you and smiled, this was an auspicious sign. If he cried when he saw you, this would not be good.

People often talked about how the children of this and this family saw the elderly of this and this family, then cried nonstop for no reason. A few days later, the elderly passed away.

Elderly people paid special attention to things like this and were especially particular about the word death.

Mammy Mu, who had originally planned to only go through the actions by coming here, changed her mind. This wasn’t too difficult for her either. After all, Yaoniang was still carrying a child in her belly. Even if she disregarded the relationship between the adults, she still had to keep in mind the unborn little master. If the mother’s heart was calm, that would be the best for the child.

Now looking at Xiaobao’s innocent and pure smile, she fell in love from the bottom of her heart.

She felt happy just looking at him. The little princess wasn’t someone who smiled often, so Mammy Mu hadn’t seen a baby smile in a long time. The last time she remembered seeing such a smile was from when His Highness was still young. Those memories of hers were already blurry.

Mammy Mu, who fell into those memories, was pulled back to her senses. She lowered her head to look at the chubby face below. Pink and tender, no matter how she looked, he was simply too cute. As for those eyes, they were indeed…

Thinking up to this point, Mammy Mu was stunned. Peering at him closer, she still felt that Xiaobao’s face seemed familiar.

It was a bit like when His Highness was still a child…
