Chapter 188: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 188: Suisui Vomited
Suisui struggled to get down from Prince Qi's arms, and as she pulled away, she began to gag. She had been holding her breath for a long time, and her little face had turned red.
At this moment, she could no longer hold back; after taking a breath, the previous foul smell became even more pronounced.
Despite trying her best to stay in her father’s arms, she couldn't control herself and started to gag uncontrollably.
Having eaten little in the morning, she had almost digested everything, and now there was hardly anything to vomit—only a little sour liquid.
After vomiting, she felt even worse.
Prince Qi was taken aback, noticing the little girl bending over, gagging, not knowing how to react.
Prince Qi's wife and the other ladies had been chatting inside, deliberately giving time for the prince and Suisui to bond, when they heard the prince's panicked voice. The prince's wife was the first to rush out, followed closely by Concubine Ren and Concubine Meng.
Seeing Suisui gagging, the prince’s wife rushed forward, gently rubbing the little girl's back and soothingly saying, “Don’t be afraid, Suisui. Mother is here. Are you feeling unwell?”
Aunt Xiang had already cleverly sent a maid to fetch Physician Liu.
Prince Qi was utterly at a loss.
At this moment, a man weighing over a hundred pounds felt like he was about to crumble.
Concubine Ren wanted to poke fun at him a bit, seeing his pitiful expression, but ultimately held back.
Concubine Meng didn’t look at the prince much; she was concerned about Suisui’s discomfort and turned to Aunt Xiang, asking, “Has someone been sent to fetch the doctor? We need someone fast. Physician Liu doesn’t live far, so please have him ride over quickly.”
Thinking that the city didn’t allow horse riding unless in wartime, even for nobles, Concubine Meng quickly amended, “Better send a carriage instead.”
Aunt Xiang hurriedly acknowledged.
Hearing the response, Concubine Meng felt somewhat reassured and looked worriedly at Suisui.
The little girl’s face was pale from vomiting. With a gentle coaxing from the prince's wife, Suisui started to cry, “I’m sorry, Mother! I really couldn’t hold it in. Boo hoo!”
Suisui hadn’t intended to throw up, but the smell was just too overwhelming.
She felt her father smelled bad.
At first, when she was farther away, the smell was bearable.
But as she got closer, it became sharper.
And the longer Prince Qi held her, the worse the smell seemed to get.
Suisui liked her father; he was kind, smiling warmly, and willing to carry her to see flowers and grass.
Suisui thought she could bear it.
Even if her father was smelly, she could endure it.
But that odor was just unbearable!
Finally, unable to hold it in any longer, Suisui vomited.
After that unpleasantness passed, Suisui began to panic.
Would her father dislike her because of this incident?
Suisui… didn’t want to be disliked.
Thinking of this, Suisui cried even harder.
The little girl clung to Qi Wangfei's arm, sobbing uncontrollably.
Prince Qi, already on the verge of crumbling, felt his heart break seeing the child cry like this.
He helplessly stepped forward, trying to explain to Qi Wangfei, “I didn’t do anything! I just held her, looked at the flowers and grass, and was going to show her the fish…”
Prince Qi had never felt so panicked.
He was truly at a loss, panic written all over him.
Qi Wangfei ignored him, gently comforting Suisui, “It’s okay, it’s okay, Suisui. Feeling unwell is normal; your father won’t blame you. He only feels sorry for you.”
Hearing this, Prince Qi quickly nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes! Your father feels sorry for you, Suisui. Is there anywhere you feel unwell? The doctor is coming soon. Don’t be sad; if you cry, my heart aches too.”
Suisui thought that since she had vomited, her father wouldn’t like her anymore.
The anxious child couldn’t stop her tears.
At this moment, hearing her father say he wouldn’t dislike her and that he would call a doctor to help her made Suisui even more emotional, “Boo hoo, Father!!”
The little girl’s heartfelt cries touched Prince Qi deeply, filling him with warmth and a sense of security.
He squatted down, trying to meet Suisui’s gaze, speaking softly with a soothing tone, “Don’t cry, Suisui. If you’re not feeling well, we’ll see the doctor. If Physician Liu can’t help, I’ll take you to the palace to see your uncle, and we’ll ask the imperial physician. Just don’t cry, good girl.”
Every time you cry, my heart feels like it’s breaking.
Prince Qi thought that when Suisui wasn’t crying, her eyes were beautiful, making him feel they might be destined to be together.
This had to be his child; otherwise, why did they have the same eyes?
As soon as Suisui started crying, Prince Qi felt that this was indeed his long-lost daughter!
The way she cried, with her innocent face all scrunched up, was just like Feng Xuanrui when he was young.
How could a child that wasn’t his own look so much like him in her cries?
Concubine Meng and Concubine Ren also came over to comfort Suisui, and finally managed to calm her down.
However, the little girl’s tear-streaked face and pale complexion made everyone worry.
So when Physician Liu arrived, everyone squeezed in to see what was happening.
Prince Qi anxiously followed, frowning as he noticed Concubine Ren and Concubine Meng trailing behind, muttering, “What are you two doing here?”
Concubine Meng instantly found herself speechless, but she couldn’t refute the prince. She was about to explain that if the prince had a child, they would treat her as their own.
However, Concubine Ren, who never liked to be pushed around, quickly retorted, “Am I wrong for feeling sorry for the child?”
Prince Qi:…
He should just keep quiet!
After being put in his place by Concubine Ren, Prince Qi fell silent, pursing his lips and following everyone inside.
Physician Liu, finding too many people, eventually allowed only the prince and Qi Wangfei to stay while sending Concubine Ren and Concubine Meng outside to wait for news.
The two couldn’t sit still and eventually stood up, waiting anxiously.
Concubine Ren, not at ease, murmured, “Her face is so pale; I hope it’s nothing serious. That poor child has been through such hardship; it would be awful for her to fall sick again now that life is looking up.”
Concubine Meng, hearing this, softly agreed, “It shouldn’t be anything serious; she probably just ate something bad.”
Concubine Ren hoped so too, folding her hands in prayer, nodding repeatedly, “Let’s hope so, let’s hope so.”
Inside, Suisui was carried back to bed by Qi Wangfei, who gently laid her down while Physician Liu took her pulse.
After a long examination, Physician Liu frowned and said, “The pulse is steady; there’s nothing serious.”
Hearing this, Qi Wangfei let out a sigh of relief, and Prince Qi visibly relaxed as well. However, he still felt uneasy and quietly asked, “But Suisui’s face turned white after she vomited…”
Could it be that he was mistaken?
Though Prince Qi didn’t voice his doubts, the implication was clear.
Physician Liu, not offended by the question, smiled and asked, “Please tell me about what Suisui experienced before and after she vomited.”
