Shen Bi, who was nearby, was the first to say in surprise: "Really? Oh, what a great joy."
However, Shen Dingzhu frowned slightly: "Uncle Jiang, are you kidding me?"
Although she was close to Xiao Langyan, the two had not completely consummated their marriage. Where did the idea of being pregnant come from!
When Jiang Manzi saw that she had figured it out, he laughed like an old naughty boy and stroked his beard.
"I see that you are nervous. I just see that you are very sick and I just want to make you happy. But you are a little girl who is too smart to be funny."
Shen Dingzhu shook his head helplessly, and Shen Bi reacted with a look of disappointment: "Ghost doctor! How can you joke about such a thing? Hey, let this slave be excited in vain."
Jiang Manzi withdrew his hand for diagnosing the pulse and started prescribing a prescription while humming.
"Don't get too excited too soon. Your master's body has been cleared of residual poison, but if he doesn't take good care of himself for half a year, the root of the disease will still appear."
"It will be even more impossible to get pregnant by then..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Dingzhu coughed slightly and forcibly interrupted him.
Jiang Manzi was not stupid. He looked up at Shen Dingzhu and smiled: "Okay, okay, if the girl won't let you talk, then I won't talk too much."
After filling out the prescription, Shen Bi sent Jiang Manzi away and came back. She beat Shen Dingzhu's legs and feet and asked, "Master, what did the ghost doctor want to say just now? Is this medicine still hurting your body at all?"
Shen Bi is a maid trained by Mrs. Shen. She is extremely loyal to her master. She is also more like a family member, worried about Shen Dingzhu's health.
If she were to know that Shen Dingzhu might not be able to have children in the future, she would definitely cry loudly.
Shen Dingzhu looked at the deep worry in her eyes, smiled and poked Shen Bi's head.
"Don't think nonsense, didn't the ghost doctor say, as long as I take good care of myself for half a year, I'll be fine."
"The slave must serve the master well. People who are recovering from illness must not be angry or sad in the future, and they must not be overly sad or happy." Shen Bi said to herself.
Shen Dingzhu glanced at the door absentmindedly: "The prince hasn't come back yet?"
"The prince entered the palace early in the morning, and may be busy. Master, do you have anything to ask the prince?"
"Nothing." Shen Dingzhu shook his head, lay down again, and closed his eyes.
But she was thinking in her heart that the news brought by Xu Shou last night, that the queen had summoned the imperial doctor late at night, might be related to the matter between Fu Yunqiu and the prince.
But Shen Dingzhu couldn't figure out what happened that would make the queen so anxious to summon her confidant imperial physician to the palace.
Could it be...that it has something to do with Su Wenhua?
Hidden under a dilapidated low building in the palace, there is a little-known cellar.
At this time, the cellar door was half open, revealing some light.
Doctor Cen's low voice came from inside: "Your Majesty asked Wei Chen to make his own decision. The situation was urgent, and Wei Chen guessed the reason why the Queen summoned Wei Chen to the palace."
"Therefore, the Empress was really happy to fabricate the lie that the Su girl's fetus was in danger, and even asked the minister to take care of the fetus. She must have thought that she could give birth to the emperor's eldest grandson and consolidate the power of the court."
"However, Wei Chen is ready to expose the evidence of this lie. As long as he tamper with Miss Su's residence during the daily diagnosis of Ping An pulse, everyone will naturally find out that she is falsely pregnant."
"Even the prince and the queen will be implicated. The most important thing is..."
When Imperial Physician Cen said this, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Langyan's expression.
"After this experience, I'm afraid Miss Fu will give up on His Highness the Crown Prince, and you will also..."
There was something in his words, and the meaning was obvious. He felt that after Fu Yunqiu left the prince, Xiao Langyan would definitely rekindle his old relationship with her.
Although Imperial Physician Cen was favored by the Queen, the Queen was ruthless. His master, Imperial Physician Liu, was assassinated by the Empress and died violently because he knew too many palace secrets.
Therefore, Imperial Physician Cen knew that if the Queen wanted to use him, he could not refuse, but he had to have a way out, and Xiao Langyan was his second choice.
Therefore, Doctor Cen showed an expression on his face that he wanted to please.
However, Xiao Langyan just sat on the chair, with a cold white face and thin eyes closed. He didn't speak for a long time, as if he was falling asleep.
Doctor Cen couldn't figure out what he meant, but a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason.
"Your Majesty..." Dr. Cen lowered his head: "The humble minister is too talkative and has overstepped his bounds."
Xiao Langyan then opened his eyes, his eyes were cold and his tone was slightly displeased: "Mr. Cen, you are a smart man. There are some things I don't want to say a second time."
"Fu Yunqiu will soon be the prince's concubine. Even if she leaves the prince, she will have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Imperial Physician Cen nodded apprehensively: "Wei Chen understands."
Xiao Langyan then took out a prescription from his sleeve and handed it over: "Help me find out what the side effects of taking this medicine are."
Imperial Physician Cen took it, looked at it for a few moments, and his expression gradually became serious.
"Ephedra, Sichuan Xingzi..." Dr. Cen paused, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, these medicines are all Yang medicines that induce sweating, relieve symptoms, detoxify and exorcise evil spirits. Their properties are extremely powerful."
"If you take it, I'm afraid it will be like going through hell and the pain will be unbearable."
Xiao Langyan listened silently.
What Imperial Physician Cen said was exactly the same as Shen Dingzhu's performance last night.
The prescription was specially copied by Xiao Langyan when he left the room this morning. He wanted to see if Shen Dingzhu was faking last night.
However, in the end he was overthinking it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Langyan took back the prescription and asked lightly: "What supplement is good for a woman's health?"
Dr. Cen was stunned, and after a while he said: "This has to be prescribed according to the disease. Common supplements, such as astragalus and atractylodes, can be used. If it is something else..."
Xiao Langyan said lightly: "She is afraid of cold, her hands and feet are cold, and she often has nightmares."
Imperial Physician Cen smiled slowly: "It's easy to handle. I'll prescribe a few medicinal materials to replenish qi and calm the mind. When the time comes, Wei Chen will write down the prescription and send it to Eunuch Xu."
Xiao Langyan nodded and left the short building first. He took a few personal guards and was about to go to the Qinzheng Hall for work.
When passing by the East Palace, I saw Fu Yunqiu standing at the door holding a food box.
The cold wind shuttled around her body, making her thin body shiver with cold.
When Fu Yunqiu's maid saw Xiao Langyan's appearance, she rolled her eyes and immediately knelt on the ground, crying: "Miss, please go back, you have been standing in the cold wind for half an hour."
"His Royal Highness is angry with you, but don't you feel aggrieved? If you continue like this, you are not in good health and will fall ill."
Fu Yunqiu's face turned pale and her lips were dark. She frowned and reprimanded: "Shut up and don't make noise outside the East Palace. My body is fine. I did something bad last night. His Highness the Crown Prince was angry with me and refused to see me. It’s as it should be.”
After saying that, she covered her lips with a veil and coughed twice in pain.
But the maid lowered her head, wiped away tears in distress and started to cry.
Xiao Langyan passed by them expressionlessly, and Fu Yunqiu caught a glimpse of his side face, which was as cold and stern as the unattainable moon.
Suddenly, the maid's scream came from behind Xiao Langyan——
"Miss! Miss fainted. His Highness Prince Ning, please save our miss."
