One basin after another of clean water was brought into the room, and one basin after another of bloody water was brought out.
Shen Changze walked around anxiously outside the house, suffering like an ant on a hot pot.
Mother Shen stayed in the room anxiously, praying with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, muttering something in her mouth.
"God bless, Buddha bless, ancestors bless..."
More than half an hour later, Doctor Fang and Doctor Liu finally stopped Cheng Jinchu's bleeding and saved her life.
"How is it? Is the child okay?" Mother Shen asked anxiously.
Doctor Fang raised her arms and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, and said regretfully: "The child was not saved, and Mrs. Jin almost lost her life."
"No, no..." Mother Shen was shocked and found it difficult to accept.
Doctor Fang and Doctor Liu cleaned their hands, opened the door and walked out, telling Shen Changze what they had said to Shen's mother.
Shen Changze's expression turned pale when he heard it, and he couldn't bear it and took two steps back.
Lu Mingke had expected it, so there was no big surprise.
Shen Qingrong asked relentlessly: "Have you tried your best? That is the legitimate son of the Hou family, and he dares to murder you and kill you."
Doctor Liu and the doctor Fang knelt down in fear, kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Master Hou Mingjian, we have really tried our best and have absolutely no intention of murder."
Shen Qingrong continued to make things difficult, but Shen Changze stopped her and said, "It has nothing to do with them, get up."
Dr. Liu and Dr. Fang were very grateful and stood up tremblingly to grab the medicine.
Shen Changze looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling empty, desperate and dead in his heart.
After a moment of silence, Shen Changze walked into the room. The rich and pungent smell of blood instantly filled his nose, making him frown involuntarily.
The last time I smelled such a strong smell of blood was on a battlefield littered with corpses after the war.
A few months after returning to Beijing, Shen Changze had almost forgotten the cruelty and horror of the battlefield, but now he remembered it again.
He didn't like this feeling very much, and neither did Cheng Jinchu. So he wrapped the unconscious Cheng Jinchu in a quilt and carried him back to Lanyun Courtyard.
Cheng Jinchu, who had lost too much blood, fell into a coma. He was given ginseng soup and qi-tonifying medicine several times, but he was still breathing weakly.
After Doctor Fang finished her work, she went to Tingzhulou and reported to Jiang Shu.
"The child is gone, and the adults are almost gone too?" Chu Yu sighed, feeling that life is really fragile.
Doctor Fang nodded: "Although Mrs. Jin's life was saved, she will not be able to get pregnant again in the future."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu did not feel gloating about the misfortune, but instead felt a bit of compassion for the same woman.
"Tanyu's feet are barely able to walk on the ground. When you go back, clean up the medicine hall. Take away what you can and forget about what you can't." Jiang Shu said.
Doctor Fang agreed, changed Tan Yu's medicine, and then went back to clean up.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Jinchu woke up and found himself in Lanyun Courtyard.
"Madam, you're awake." Qiu Shuang, who was standing by the bed, said in surprise.
Cheng Jinchu was a little confused. He was stunned for a moment and then weakly opened his mouth: "Is the child okay?"
The joy on Qiu Shuang's face quickly faded, and she said sadly: "The child... is gone."
What?
Hearing that 'the child is gone', Cheng Jinchu was filled with grief and grief.
"Madam, please be careful and don't be too sad." Qiu Shuang comforted her cautiously.
But Cheng Jinchu couldn't take it in and asked with tears in his eyes: "Where is the Marquis? I want to see him."
"Madam, don't worry, the Marquis is in the study. I'll go and invite you." Qiu Shuang didn't dare to delay and went immediately.
Cheng Jinchu lay on the bed in despair, his eyes empty and tears streaming down his face.
When Shen Changze entered the room and saw her appearance, he frowned.
"Stop crying. The doctor said you've lost too much blood and are seriously injured. Don't be too emotional." Shen Changze sat down by the bed and wiped the tears from Cheng Jinchu's face with a handkerchief.
Cheng Jinchu turned to look at him and said sadly: "Husband, our child is gone."
Shen Changze nodded: "I know, but we still have Yan Yang and Yan Huan, you must cheer up."
Mentioning Yan Yang, Cheng Jinchu shed tears again.
"Husband, you must save Yan Yang, he cannot leave to go to Beijing."
Yan Yang is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion and will inherit the entire Hou Mansion in the future. If he leaves Shangjing, this honor and splendor will have nothing to do with him.
So what's the point of all her hard work?
Cheng Jinchu was unwilling to give in. She finally got the position of head wife and made Yan Yang the eldest son. How could she lose here.
She must let Yan Yang stay in Shangjing!
"Husband, let's go together to beg Jiang Shu. I will kneel down and kowtow to her."
Cheng Jinchu said, pushing himself up to get out of bed.
Shen Changze hurriedly pushed her back and said in a deep voice: "You are too weak to move around. We need to take care of ourselves first."
"But Yan Yang can't wait any longer. His Majesty ordered him to leave the capital within seven days. If we don't quickly seek forgiveness from the banker, there will really be no room for maneuver."
Cheng Jinchu ignored it, pushed Shen Changze's hand away and struggled to get out of bed, but fell to the ground weakly.
"Ah!" Cheng Jinchu's face was filled with pain, and he felt as if his stomach had been run over by a wheel.
"Jinchu." Shen Changze hurriedly carried her back to the bed, worried.
The two have been dependent on each other for six years at the border, and some of their emotions have been deeply rooted in their bones, and no one can replace them.
Or rather, they have already become a part of each other.
"Husband, I beg you, save Yan Yang. If Yan Yang leaves Shangjing, Yan Huan and I will definitely follow him." Cheng Jinchu broke into a cold sweat of pain, still thinking about Yan Yang.
"The child in my belly is gone. I can't lose Yan Yang anymore."
Seeing Cheng Jinchu crying and mourning, Shen Changze was helpless and nodded heavily.
If their mothers left, it would be meaningless for him to stay alone in Shangjing.
Furthermore, Yan Yang is his first child and has a different weight in his heart.
Early the next morning, Shen Changze went to Tingzhulou at Cheng Jinchu's urging.
"Madam, the Marquis is here." Chu Yu came into the room to announce.
Jiang Shu came out of the inner room and immediately saw Shen Changze waiting in the outer room.
However, after not seeing him for a day, Shen Changze seemed to have gone through a lot of changes, with green and black stubble growing on his chin, and his expression was decadent and sluggish, completely lacking the energy of the past.
But Jiang Shu ate well, slept soundly, and looked bright and beautiful.
Shen Changze looked at her and said with difficulty: "You must have heard about Yan Yang. Can you go to the eldest princess to plead for mercy and ask Mrs. Zhuang to withdraw the accusation?"
Jiang Shu chuckled and said in a mocking tone: "Why does the Marquis think that I can persuade the eldest princess and Mrs. Zhuang?"
Shen Changze choked and said in a solemn voice: "I know it is difficult, but as long as there is even the slightest chance, I will always try."
"Then, Lord Marquis, go ahead and leave slowly without seeing him off." Jiang Shu turned around and wanted to go back to the inner room.
Shen Changze hurriedly grabbed her and said urgently: "The eldest princess refuses to see me. The only one who can intercede for Yan Yang is you."
Jiang Shu turned around, brushed off Shen Changze's hand and said, "Since Lord Marquis asks me for help, are you sincere?"
"You know what I want."
Shen Changze opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "As long as you can ask Mrs. Zhuang's forgiveness and let Yan Yang stay in Shangjing, I will agree to make peace."
"Empty words." Jiang Shu did not agree immediately.
Shen Changze was slightly annoyed and said with an unhappy expression, "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Shu looked at him steadily and said clearly, "I want to see He Lishu and Xueqiu's body first."
