Lu Shen shook his head, caressed her and sighed: "A woman's mind is really elusive."
The carriage passed through the busy city and suddenly stopped in front of a lively alley. Lu Shen stroked Lin Rong's carriage and said, "I heard from the old lady that you like to go to the flower house and have always liked to plant flowers and grass. This alley is a specialty Flowers."
Lin Rong got off the carriage for a moment, and saw that the streets were filled with exotic flowers and plants, not only begonias and roses in May, but also some extremely precious potted peonies, or water lilies raised in large tanks. Bushes of wild rhododendrons. There are also some small stalls with baskets and garlands made of fresh flowers.
Lin Rong walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around and ordered a few maids: "It's so easy to come out, you all should go for a stroll, don't follow me."
Before Lu Shen could say anything, he put a begonia on his hair and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"
When had this woman ever smiled at him like this? After a long time, Lu Shen finally nodded: "It's very beautiful! I just think you are very different from usual today?"
Lin Rong's expression changed when he heard this, he pulled off the flower and asked lightly: "Why is it different?"
Lu Shen took the begonia flower and placed it on Lin Rong's temple without saying anything else. After wandering around for a while, Lin Rong walked towards the house on the stone platform. Unexpectedly, the flower farmer next to him suddenly stood up with his load. He couldn't avoid it and fell into the flower basket beside him.
Lu Shen followed three or five steps behind him, thinking about what was wrong with her today. Just as he was about to ask someone to follow the maids, he heard Lin Rong in front of him scream, and for some reason, he fell down on the full floor. It is in the bamboo basket of Sophora japonica.
He hurried forward and hugged her. He saw that her face turned pale and she looked stunned: "What's wrong? Where did she fall?" As soon as he spoke, there were guards in casual clothes who immediately pressed the old farmer down. on the ground.
The old farmer carrying the flowers was frightened. Knowing that he had caused trouble, he was afraid that he would not be able to pay for the soup. He knelt down and kowtowed: "I'm sorry, sir. Madam, the old man didn't pay attention for a moment and bumped into madam."
Lin Rong waved his hand and said to Lu Shen: "Tell him to leave. He didn't fall. Besides, it's my own fault and it's none of his business."
Lu Shen waved his hand: "Let him go." The old farmer was afraid of causing trouble, so he stopped selling the flowers and hurried away with his load.
Lin Rong forced a smile and helped Lu Shen stand for a while. His face seemed to be getting paler. He looked at Lu Shen and said quietly: "It seems that I hit my stomach. It hurts a little."
Chapter 80
Lin Rong naturally stopped going shopping when he said this. Afraid of the bumpy carriage, he took another soft sedan back home. After passing through the second gate, he was carried to the gate of Yanshan Courtyard. Then Lu Shen carried her into the soft couch behind the curtain and called the maids to serve her. She changed into home clothes and soft clothes. shoe.
He bent down to hold her hand, and when he saw that his palm was cold, he asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Lin Rong nodded slowly at first, then shook his head as if he was stunned, and asked tentatively: "I'm a little scared, if something happens to this child..."
Lu Shen immediately interrupted: "I'm just talking nonsense, but I just touched it. There is a thick layer of Sophora japonica in the flower basket. It's soft and dense. It's not like it fell on the ground. How could there be an accident?" He snapped again impatiently. He asked the servants in the corridor: "Have you invited the doctor?"
The doctor had already sent someone to wait for him, and when he saw Lu Shen speaking, he dared to invite him into the inner room. Three or five people came in one after another. The expert, who was a gynecologist, checked the pulse through the curtain and asked, "Madam, the abdominal pain is still severe? Have you seen any blood?"
Lin Rong replied: "It was throbbing and painful just now, but now I feel better. I just feel a little heavy and stuffy, but I haven't seen any blood."
The doctor nodded and turned around to discuss it. He raised his hands and said to Lu Shen: "Back to the king, my wife's pulse is fluent, smooth, calm and strong. It is a symptom of overflowing blood. Only the tongue coating is slightly yellow, and there is some fetal fever. I think she fell and was frightened. , the fetal gas has moved a bit, but it’s not serious. I’ll take one or two pairs of anti-fetal medicines and stay in bed for a few days.”
Lu Shen asked again and again: "Is it really okay? Is there anything wrong with the pulse? Is it true that there is no miscarriage?"
The doctors hesitated when they asked him: "This... madam's pulse pattern shows no signs of miscarriage..."
His tone was not very good, and he looked like he was making trouble. Lin Rong pulled his sleeve: "Okay!"
Lu Shen just stood there with his lips pursed, and Lin Rong asked, "Are you angry with me or with them?"
Lu Shen had no choice but to give up and waved his hand: "Everyone, go down."
When I went to serve tea, I saw that the tea in the tea cup was already cold. I placed it heavily on the small table and placed it unsteadily. I suddenly fell to the ground with a crash: "These serving maids are so negligent of their duties. What are you doing in your house?" The tea served here is always cold, and I’m afraid there are more imperfections elsewhere.”
Then he frowned and asked: "Where are those girls who are close to you? Why don't they come in to serve you? The master is the master, and the servants are the servants. If you indulge them, you will make them lose their sense. Call the person in charge later. Hit those who deserve to be beaten, punish those who deserve punishment, and strictly observe the rules in this courtyard."
With a smile on her face, Lin Rong pulled the blue field jasper belt around his waist and told him to get closer. She reached out to stroke his frown and leaned against him gently. After a while, she sighed: "Okay, it's always okay, it's just a false alarm. How could the old lady not know when you had an attack like this? Once she knew about it, she just had fetal gas, and I'm afraid she would have to worry about it for a few days. Besides, Those maids are only seventeen or eighteen years old. If they are no longer useful, just send them out and beat them for what they are doing?"
With Wenxiang Nephrite in her arms, and such a half-coquettish, half-mad tone, Lu Shen couldn't show any anger anymore, and said calmly: "You always know how to deal with me."
Then he gently carried her to the bed: "Lie down on the bed and rest for a while."
After saying that, he was about to get up and go out. Lin Rong held his sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"
Lu Shen didn't know what he meant. When did this little girl ask about his whereabouts? She didn't care and didn't care. She said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Lin Rong leaned on the pillow and lowered his eyes slightly: "You promised to go shopping with me, but you haven't even had half an hour and you have to go out in a hurry. Are you so busy?"
Lu Shen didn't speak for a long time, then reached out to caress the pearls shaking on the phoenix hairpin. Finally, he said with a hint: "You said that day that you would rather be awake, but today I feel that it is rare to be confused. Sometimes it is better to be confused. There are some things that only God knows. But you have to know that this kind of thing will never happen again."
After that, he stopped going out, took off his clothes, and took a nap with Lin Rong. Not long after, the maid came in with anti-fetal medicine, Lin Rong drank a bowl and fell asleep.
Until late in the evening, a maid came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Manager Shen is waiting outside and said that he has something important to report."
Lin Rong woke up and sat up. Seeing the broken light of the evening outside the tent, he pushed Lu Shen: "Go, Shen Yan is looking for you. There is always something important. I'm afraid it's still official business outside." .”
Lu Shen lifted the curtain and stood up, telling her, "You don't have to wait for me to have dinner tonight."
Lin Rong nodded, sat there in silence for a while, then turned around and asked, "Has Kingfisher come back?"
The little maid standing outside replied: "Madam, Sister Kingfisher has been back for a long time." After a while, Kingfisher came in holding a bowl of steaming black soup, half-kneeling in front of the bed, and poured out involuntarily. Tears came: "My lord, do you really want to drink this medicine? When I was a child, I saw my aunt had a miscarriage. I don't know how much blood was left, but I couldn't stop it. If I drink this medicine, what happens to my lord? What kind of accident will happen to my aunt?" You can’t afford ten thousand lives to pay for it.”
Lin Rong took the medicine, blew it a little, and took a sip. It was really hot. He stretched out his hand to caress the tears of the green bird and sighed: "I come here, I can't help myself in everything, but this is the only thing I really can't do." I want to make my own decisions.”
Jing Qin said: "The county master hates the prince so much and is unwilling to bear his children?"
Lin Rong said lightly: "It doesn't make any difference whether it's him or someone else. They are always unbearable and unreasonable grown men. After giving birth to a child, worrying about him, a mother's heart is in a frying pan. fry."
As she said that, the soup cooled down a little, she blew on it, took another big sip, and asked: "I hid the medicine in the box in the restaurant a few months ago. When you went there, was there anyone following you? "
Kingfisher was not so sure: "My servant only said that the braised pork was delicious, and she wanted to buy some to treat the sisters in the yard. At that time, the county master fell down and was in a panic, but no one suspected it. But, was there anyone following? , I don’t know, slave.”
Lin Rong nodded, drank the bowl of medicine in one go, and told her: "Just say you don't know anything and blame everything on me, you know?"
Kingfisher just shook his head silently: "If something happens to the county master, how can I live alone?"
Lin Rong sighed: "Silly girl, you have to take another bowl of this medicine after an hour, otherwise the blood clots in your abdomen will not flow out..." Before he could finish his words, he saw the door being kicked open with a bang.
On Lu Shen's side, as soon as he came out of the door, he saw Shen Yan waiting at the foot of the steps with a letter in his hand: "Your Majesty, a letter from Duke De!"
He opened it and took a quick look, then hurried out, saying as he walked: "The three armies are really ready, the east wind is coming."
Shen Yan followed behind and walked outside the courtyard before reporting: "Jun Hou, there is a personal maid beside Madam, named Kingfisher. Today, she went to a restaurant to buy soy sauce meat. When she came out, she carried a big baggage. The people following it couldn't see clearly what was inside, and it was hard to go up and search it, so they just took a chance and walked closer to explore it, and there was a strong smell of medicinal herbs."
Lu Shen paused and asked, "Go to the restaurant to buy medicinal materials. What else is there?"
Shen Yan glanced at Lu Shen's face, which was really ugly, and said: "The other girl next to the madam, named Feng Xiao, has been restless these days. The slave ordered the little girl to keep an eye on her. She always listens to her crying alone. It also said, 'The chief magistrate did something stupid'. Although it is a trivial matter, it is related to my wife, so I thought it would be best to report back to the Lord."
After hearing this, Lu Shen's face was covered with frost. He turned around and headed towards Yanshan Courtyard. As soon as he reached the door, he heard the words "can't flow out". He kicked the door open and with a little force, the door opened. Then he fell down, and several large screens fell to the ground with a crash.
Lin Rong half-sat on the bed quietly, with a calm look on his face. Kingfisher was startled, and the medicine bowl in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He knelt on the ground and couldn't stop trembling.
Lu Shen drew his sword, pointed at the broken bowl, and asked coldly: "What is this?"
Lin Rong's tone was as calm as if there were no fluctuations, and he was very silent: "I have already drank a bowl of the abortion medicine, and the baby in my belly is gone. If you wait a little longer, the blood will flow out."
Lu Shen's face suddenly turned deadly, and he smiled angrily: "Okay, Cui Shiyi, the head of Wuyang County, is indeed the daughter of the eldest princess. She has been cheating and being hypocritical for days, just for today?"
Suddenly, Shen Yanti slipped a doctor in, holding several large packages of medicinal materials that he had found out from nowhere. The doctor suddenly heard this secret and shook his hands to identify: "Panthera, musk, saffron... this... These are all abortion pills. Even if you take a small sip, you will definitely not be able to protect yourself..."
At this moment, Jade Bird seemed to have come to her senses. She knelt and took a step forward, crying for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Madam was just confused for a moment. I was just confused for a moment. It's all because I didn't dissuade you."
Lu Shen's eyes were bloodshot at this time, and he immediately raised his sword and stabbed: "Since you are a loyal servant, I should naturally grant you a favor."
Lin Rong was horrified and immediately rushed over. The sword edge deflected and a large blood mark was drawn on his arm. His green shirt was immediately stained with blood.
She turned back, her eyes filled with that annoying alienation again, and smiled: "Lu Shen, you have also tasted it today, what it feels like to be betrayed."
Lin Rong stood up slowly, with the blood still dripping on her skirt. She smiled and said, "Do you know why I don't want to have this child?"
"Because you are not worthy. A person like you is not worthy of asking me to give birth to a child for you. Don't you understand? It's not because you treated me badly in the past, nor because I have something in my heart. I just simply look down on you, simply I don’t like you. You may have always thought that for a prince like you who holds a lot of troops, all the women in the world should admire you. Even if they don’t now, they will be devoted to you in the future. Humph, in fact, for a person like you, I can’t even It’s unbearable for even one second.”
Lu Shen looked at her, with the taste of blood in his mouth. He suddenly laughed and said three good words: "Okay, okay, why should a man worry about having no wife? How can a woman with such a flirtatious and vicious heart like you deserve to give birth to Lu Shen?" His bloodline?"
He sternly ordered Shen Yan: "Someone, bring me the abortion pill."
Not long after, the large cup of abortion pills was brought up. Lu Shen swung his long sword and lifted the woman's chin: "The beauty of a gentleman, Lord Wuyang County, Lu will fulfill your wish today."
Kingfisher, who had been pushed aside by others, started to struggle when she saw this. She remembered that the county leader said that although the medicine had to be taken three times, it was very toxic and could not be taken consecutively. It had to be taken every hour. The quantity should also be halved. If it is taken once, it will kill someone. It's a pity that she couldn't fight, so she could only cry out: "County Lord, you can't drink, you can't drink."
Lin Rong hesitantly picked up the medicine and drank three bowls in a row, fearing that he would suffer from abdominal pain and bleed to death.
Lu Shen chuckled: "Your wife doesn't dare to drink, feed her to drink."
Not long after, two servant girls with big shoulders and round waists came in, pressed Lin Rong, and started to pour medicine: "Madam, I'm offended." Lin Rong couldn't avoid it, and a large amount was sprinkled on his clothes. He choked and coughed, but it was easy to stop. I could barely say one sentence: "I drink it by myself, I drink it by myself."
She picked up the medicine and drank three large bowls of it. Then she suddenly felt nauseated and threw herself on the ground and retched. For a moment, she was covered in red blood and black medicine, which made her look quite embarrassed.
Lu Shen looked at her indifferently, said "very good", and turned around and left.
For a moment, everyone in the room dispersed, leaving only Lin Rong and Jing Qin. Jing Qin hurriedly took a handkerchief to bandage the wound on her arm and burst into tears: "County Lord, what should I do? You drank so much." Medicine, what should I do? Spit it out quickly, spit it out quickly..."
Lin Rong felt quite guilty towards her: "I have only been here for a day or two, and I have only caused trouble for you. The old lady is a kind person. I have begged her to let you people go back to Jiangzhou. If you are lucky, I left a sum of money for you at Sixth Sister’s place.”
As she spoke, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body and paced towards the bed. She no longer cared about Kingfisher's cry, her face turned pale: "Kingfisher, I'm going to sleep for a while, there's no need to wake me up."
Chapter 81
It was already late at night when Lin Rong woke up. Unexpectedly, he had unbearable abdominal pain. Instead, he felt warm all over his body. Except for the dull pain from the sword wound on his arm, it was just like usual.
As soon as she moved Fengxiao and Jingqin, who were sleeping on the night watch under her feet, they immediately sat up. One of them opened the Xiahuang curtain, and the other hurriedly moved the lamp on the small table and asked: "County Lord, is there something wrong?" Comfortable?"
Lin Rong only shook his head and was still a little tired. When he heard that the two girls had a strong nasal voice and their eyes were as swollen as Tao'er, he knew that they must have been crying for a long time: "It's really strange that after drinking so much medicine, it didn't happen at all. No signs?"
Feng Xiao knelt in front of the bed and sobbed: "County Master, you and Sister Jingqin have always kept the secret from me. But I am here to serve you day and night, how can you not know what you are thinking? I'm afraid that the County Master will hurt himself." , when Sister Jingqin accidentally took the medicinal materials out of the bag, she secretly replaced them with daily anti-fetal medicines. She was afraid that she would not be able to persuade the county boss, so she told Shen Yan. All the medicines for preventing fetuses were returned. Even if it doesn’t work, I’ll search it…”
As she spoke, she burst into tears and sobbed that she couldn't speak: "You all blame me... Now that the Lord knows about it, County Lord, please punish me!" After that, she kowtowed on the edge of the bed. .
Kingfisher's eyes widened when he heard this, and he couldn't believe it: "You are so courageous. You only know how to eat, drink, and wear clothes on weekdays. You don't care about anything serious, and yet you did such a thing quietly. You are so brave." If you really want to persuade the county lord, why don't you tell the county lord privately? You can just change the medicine secretly, so how can you tell Shen Yan? Whose person are you and whose person is he? Once he knows, how can the king not know? "
Feng Xiao asked Jing Qin to question him until he was speechless and could only cry. Only then did Lin Rong understand: "That's it. No wonder I felt something wrong with the taste when I drank it. I thought it was because the medicinal materials had been stored for a long time and had lost their medicinal properties due to moisture."
He smiled again and lay down weakly: "Don't cry. I want to thank you. If you hadn't changed the medicine, I would have bled to death at this moment. In this way, it was a coincidence that you saved me. .”
Kingfisher heard the coldness in Lin Rong's tone, and was afraid that she would do something stupid again, so he begged: "County Master, your own health is important, please don't..."
Feng Xiao straightened up and persuaded: "How could it be possible? Shen Yan knew it was an anti-fetal medicine before he dared to bring it. The Lord knew that it was an anti-fetal medicine and asked the county master to drink it. How can it be considered that it was a slave who saved you?"
Lin Rong didn't speak. He stared blankly at the flying clouds and cranes on the tent. He placed one hand gently on his lower abdomen, as if there was a real heart beating somewhere. For a long time, he murmured in a low voice as if talking to himself. : "It's all the same. No matter whether the child is really aborted or not, the result is the same. It can make me get my wish. Now you can save me from suffering, so of course I have to thank you."
Feng Xiao shook her head: "County Lord, how can it be the same? It's different! The Lord loves the County Lord so much. As long as the County Lord is willing to change his mind and has this child, what will these quarrels mean?"
Lin Rong sighed longly: "With his temperament, if he knew that the child was still alive, I'm afraid he would have ordered someone to deliver real abortion pills tomorrow. But, to me, it makes no difference." He really felt that Bored, he waved his hand: "No need to say any more, you can go out, I'm sleepy."
Feng Xiao wanted to say more, but Jing Qin hurriedly dragged her out, and the two of them stopped on the corridor. Jing Qin said coldly: "Kneel down. You are becoming more and more bold. You have betrayed your master like this. If you were still in Jiangzhou, you would have been dragged out and beaten to death. The county master thinks that you are young, so he only You were raised like a young lady, and you never said a harsh word. On the contrary, it made you ignorant of the world and made you forget your own responsibilities."
Kingfisher and Fengxiao have been friends for more than ten years. They took care of each other when they first entered the house at the age of seven or eight. Kingfisher spoke with a straight face, and Fengxiao had to kneel down with a stubborn look on his face: "Don't you know, sister? Something unexpected happened to the child in the Lord's womb. With the Junhou's temperament, all the maids and women in the courtyard would not be able to survive. It wasn't the County Lord who was standing in front of my sister just now, but my sister had been stabbed through by a sword. County Lord If you treat your sister well, will she die in return? The county master’s life is life, isn’t our life also life?”
