Chapter 102 It was him?
This was the first time Chu Ci had seen Shi An eat so much, and she was a little surprised. "You can't eat too much, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Shi An stood up and felt it. "Ah! It really is so full."
He hunched over, not daring to straighten his back, "My lady, my stomach is so full!"
Chu Ci sighed, walked over and hugged the man, gently pressing his stomach.
"I knew it would turn out like this..."
"My lady, I feel terrible~" Shi An complained to Chu Ci with a pained expression, her face pale.
Chu Ci felt sorry for him and picked him up, saying, "I'll take you to the clinic."
"No need, no need." Shi An struggled to get down, but Chu Ci held him tightly and even slapped his bottom when he had a chance.
"Don't make trouble."
Chu Ci reasoned with him, "Your stomach has been hurting terribly every time you have your period lately, so it's a good time to go to the clinic now and get some medicine to regulate it."
"No way~" Shi An hates taking medicine the most. Just thinking about the bitter taste makes him frown.
"I'm fine. It only hurt for the first few days, and then it stopped hurting." He tried to persuade Chu Ci to give up the idea of taking him to the clinic.
But Chu Ci did not compromise this time: "You must go, or I will get angry."
She knew Shi An was reluctant to take medicine, but for his health, she couldn't give in.
Shi An noticed Chu Ci's attitude and immediately became obedient, "Alright, I'll go, my wife, don't be angry."
"Ah."
Chu Ci took Shi An to a well-known medical clinic in Kyoto.
The clinic was quite crowded. Chu Ci got a number from the person at the counter and led Shi An to a seat in the waiting area.
Not long after, Bai Ming and his servant entered the clinic.
The number he received was diagonally opposite Chu Ci and the others, a perfect spot.
After he sat down, he could see Chu Ci with just a slight turn of his head.
However, at this moment, Chu Ci's mind was entirely focused on Shi An, and she was completely unaware of everything around her.
Instead, it was Bai Ming's servant Zi Xin who noticed Chu Ci first. She quickly tugged at her master and whispered, "Over there... is that Lady Chu from before."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ming turned his head and immediately saw Chu Ci.
Chu Ci's figure was so conspicuous that he could easily stand out even in a crowd.
She was seen affectionately embracing Shi An, whispering to him, and the intimate atmosphere between them made people envious.
Seeing this, Bai Ming couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
But soon he realized that Chu Ci was already married, so he decided to put aside his distracting thoughts.
After all, after thinking about it for the past few days, he realized that he could not accept the status of a concubine, and naturally there was no possibility for him to be with this Lady Chu.
Recalling Chu Ci's life-saving grace, Bai Ming hesitated for a moment before standing up and walking towards Chu Ci, greeting her politely, "Miss Chu, what a coincidence."
Chu Ci turned to look at Bai Ming upon hearing the voice, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Who are you?"
Bai Ming's face turned pale instantly. He forced a smile and said, "My wife came to my rescue at the city gate of Kyoto earlier. My carriage went out of control at that time..."
"Oh, I see." Chu Ci suddenly realized, recalling the scene at that time.
She replied politely, "Hello, may I ask what you need me for?"
Bai Ming took a deep breath and mustered his courage to answer, "I just wanted to thank you for saving my life, Madam. I didn't expect to meet you here. Did you come to the clinic because you were feeling unwell?"
Chu Ci shook her head and explained, "No, I brought my husband to see a doctor..." Before she could finish speaking, Chu Ci suddenly noticed that Shi An's expression was a little strange and his body was trembling slightly.
"What's wrong? Shi An, are you alright?" Chu Ci hugged Shi An even tighter and held his hand firmly. "Shi An, don't scare me."
Shi An tried to calm himself down, but his face grew paler and paler. He asked in a trembling voice, "Wife, mistress... how do you know him?"
Chu Ci was taken aback at first, and then recounted in detail how she met Bai Ming at the city gate of Kyoto and saved him.
Finally, she asked with concern, "Is your stomach hurting badly? I'll get a doctor to come and take a look right away."
As he spoke, Chu Ci prepared to get up and go find a doctor.
But Shi An grabbed Chu Ci's hand, preventing her from leaving, "My lady, don't go, don't leave me."
Chu Ci pulled the person into her arms, somewhat worried, "Your health is important, I'll find a doctor for you first."
"No, I'm fine." Shi An recovered from the dizziness and buried her head in Chu Ci's shoulder. "I'm really fine, don't go."
"Okay, I won't go, I won't go." Chu Ci kept coaxing Shi An, completely forgetting about Bai Ming.
Bai Ming stood awkwardly to the side, and finally could only sit back down dejectedly.
Time passed second by second, and Chu Ci held Shi An tightly without letting go, gently comforting him and telling him that she would not leave.
Shi An's emotions gradually stabilized, but she still held Chu Ci's hand tightly, as if afraid that she would suddenly disappear.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi An finally regained his senses and softly called out, "My lady."
"Shi An, what's wrong?" Chu Ci's eyes were full of concern and worry, which warmed Shi An's heart. He lowered his voice and carefully told Chu Ci.
"Wasn't I... given poisoned wine before...?"
Chu Ci's expression turned serious, and he immediately understood Shi An's meaning. "Could it be related to that young master?"
Shi An nodded, then shook his head, and continued, "Bai Ming was that person's beloved. He misunderstood my relationship with that person and left the capital. When that person couldn't find me, he killed me to vent his anger..."
Chu Ci frowned, already convinced that the Crown Princess was doomed, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will avenge you."
Shi An shook her head, pressed her head against Chu Ci's chest, and said softly, "I only want to overturn the case against the Shi family; the rest doesn't matter."
Chu Ci kissed Shi An's forehead, wanting to continue comforting him, but the shop assistant called their number, so Chu Ci took Shi An to see a doctor first.
The doctor on duty was a middle-aged woman with a deep furrow between her eyebrows.
"Please have a seat," the doctor said calmly.
Chu Ci helped Shi An sit down, then stood aside and waited.
The doctor carefully observed Shi An's complexion, felt his pulse, and asked some medical questions, which Shi An answered one by one.
Finally, the doctor frowned and said, "Your body is very cold; it will be very difficult for you to conceive."
Upon hearing this, Shi An's face turned deathly pale. "Then... is there any cure?"
He originally thought he was just a little cold in his hands and feet and had some menstrual cramps, but he didn't expect that he would have difficulty conceiving. This would not do. If he couldn't have a child, his wife would despise him.
The wife will find someone else...
The thought of this possibility made Shi An lose control of her emotions; she felt like going crazy and smashing everything around her.
