Qiao Jianghong had been hungry for a long time. He drank some water after coming back from the palace. He had no appetite at first. When he saw something delicious on An Qien's table, he said, "No, I haven't had dinner with you for a long time." ."
An Qien ordered Bai Lu: "Prepare bowls and chopsticks for the prince."
"yes."
Bai Lu brought the bowls and chopsticks over.
Qiao Jianghong sat down to eat. An Qi'en's cooking suited his appetite, and he finished half a bowl of rice in a short while.
The two maids with great discernment retreated to the door and stood guard.
Qiao Jianghong sighed: "You have been a little different recently?"
An Qien asked calmly: "What's different?"
Qiao Jianghong felt depressed. He had encountered such a big setback. As a wife, shouldn't he take the initiative to comfort him?
These days, An Qi'en doesn't seem to care what he does.
She just eats and has fun every day, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the Hou Mansion anymore.
For Qiao Jianghong, this is a sense of crisis!
"My official position is not very good, so I can't help the Hou Mansion. Your parents' family will probably look down on you and me secretly."
He sighed softly, feeling even more depressed.
An Qi'en took a bite of the fish and said calmly: "Your Majesty, why do you think so much? Although the Flying Dragon Envoy is not an important official position, he still works in the palace. Your Majesty, just do your job well, do your best, and obey the destiny."
Qiao Jianghong said dissatisfied: "It's a pity that my father's life was lost in vain. Our Marquis's treatment of His Majesty is loyal and sincere. Flying Dragon Envoy, haha...Feilong Envoy..."
He laughed at himself.
An Qi'en reminded him: "Your Majesty, you should be more careful in your words and deeds."
His mouth will cause trouble sooner or later, and he always promotes the Hou Mansion's hard work and great achievements to His Majesty. An Qi'en has heard this several times.
Qiao Jianghong smiled coldly: "Isn't what I said the truth? What a flying dragon envoy!"
An Qi'en stopped talking and listened quietly to Qiao Jianghong's chatter.
He felt unhappy when he said this, and asked Qingbi to prepare some drinks. He drank drunkenly and complained that His Majesty was unfair to him.
An Qien's head hurt when he heard it, so Bai Lu took a piece of white cloth and stuffed it into his mouth.
The servants helped Qiao Jianghong, who was very drunk, back to Wenyuanju.
Shen Shuli learned that Qiao Jianghong's official career was not going well, and he became worried and restless.
She wanted to see Qiao Jianghong, but she couldn't get out. There was a woman guarding the door.
Shen Shuli gave Xiang Zhu some valuable jewelry and asked Xiang Zhu to bribe the janitor outside.
These ladies were all arranged by Mrs. Qiao, and they would not be bribed by these petty profits.
Shen Shuli couldn't get out and was very anxious.
Soon it was time to drink anti-fetal medicine, and Shen Shuli felt bored.
After drinking, she was still worried about Qiao Jianghong and paced back and forth in the room for several hours.
Xiang Zhu was worried about her health and comforted her: "Auntie, it's already the third watch. Please take care of yourself. I will help you lie down, right?"
"I can't sleep. The prince must be extremely sad to have such an unpleasant job."
Xiang Zhu: "The prince had dinner at the madam's place, got drunk and has gone back to Wenyuanju to rest."
Shen Shuli still couldn't feel at ease. Suddenly, she felt severe pain in her stomach, and soon a warm liquid with a bloody smell fell to the ground.
When Xiang Zhu saw Shen Shuli bleeding, he panicked and shouted: "Auntie, auntie, come here quickly, auntie is red..."
Shen Shuli clutched her stomach in pain: "Please call the doctor quickly, hurry up, hurry up..."
The woman who was guarding outside heard the movement inside and hurriedly opened the door and came in.
When the two women saw the blood on the ground, their eyes widened and their legs became weak with fear.
Shen Shuli was in pain and couldn't stand, so she collapsed on the ground.
Xiang Zhu said anxiously: "Two mothers, tell the old lady quickly and ask the doctor to come. Please, two mothers..."
The two women hurriedly went to report.
Xiang Zhu struggled to help Shen Shuli to lie down on the bed.
Shen Shuli's forehead was covered with sweat, and her face was as white as paper in pain. She squeezed Xiang Zhu's hand and asked with difficulty, "Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"
Xiang Zhu was so worried that he almost cried: "Doctor Jiang is not in the house. He will not come back for a few days. The doctor we invited before has not come yet. Auntie, hold on, the doctor will be here soon."
Qingcui woke up from her dream when she heard the noise. Xiaozhi lit the oil lamp, and the warm light in the room lit up.
Xiaozhi said proudly: "Auntie, I'm afraid those in the east courtyard won't be able to bear it anymore."
Qing Cui smiled slyly, feeling very happy: "It's time for her to taste the feeling of losing a child."
Then he said: "Change my clothes and go over and take a look."
"yes."
The entire Hou Mansion was alarmed. Only Qiao Jianghong, who was sleeping like a dead pig, couldn't wake up!
Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Liu, An Qien and Qing Cui are all in Shen Shuli's room.
The doctor the servant invited from outside also came in a hurry.
Mrs. Qiao begged the doctor to save Shen Shuli's child, and the doctor promised to do his best.
The doctor went in to check Shen Shuli's pulse, but Shen Shuli was so painful that she fainted.
Mrs. Qiao was sitting anxiously on the couch in the main room. Mrs. Liu and An Qien were all sitting on stools around her.
Mrs. Liu worriedly patted her thigh: "It's fine, why is it bleeding?"
Mrs. Qiao held the Buddhist beads in her hand and frowned uneasily: "It's all bad things. Everything in the Hou Mansion has been going badly recently."
At this time, the doctor came out with a bad expression and made a report: "Old madam, please forgive me for my shallow medical skills. My aunt's child is gone, and..."
The old lady almost fainted from fright. Mother Wu hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "Old lady, be careful with yourself."
Mrs. Liu asked sadly: "And what?"
The doctor replied solemnly: "My aunt has injured her uterus and needs to be nursed back to health, otherwise it will be difficult to conceive in the future."
As soon as this shocking news came out, Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Liu were both panicked and felt sorry for the unborn child.
Mrs. Liu cried: "What's going on? Things happen one after another. I'm afraid Jiang Hong will be even more sad if he knows about it."
Mrs. Qiao suddenly looked at An Qien and pleaded in a tone of voice: "Qien, you know some medical skills. You saved the green child last time because you said there was hope. Show it to Shuli too."
"Yes, Grandma."
An Qien got up and went to the bedroom to take Shen Shuli's pulse.
Before Shen Shuli woke up, An Qien quietly felt her pulse.
Wanmai An Qi'en came out and reported calmly: "Grandma, there is no fetal sign anymore."
Mrs. Qiao's face drooped in pain.
An Qi'en added: "Grandma, there is no need to be sad. Shuli will take good care of her body and she will be in good health for the Hou Mansion."
Ms. Liu was sad and kept wiping her tears.
Qingcui also pretended to comfort the two elders: "Old madam, madam, take care of your body. My sister is so young and will have her own child soon. Don't worry."
Mr. Qiao said with a gloomy face: "This is not right. Shuli is fine. Why did he have a tire slip?"
