Jing Yi's injury lasted for several days, the wound festered, and he was in urgent need of medication.
Shen Dingzhu asked Mr. Shi to take out all the hemostasis and blood stasis ointment at home, but it was not enough for him.
So when Dr. Cen came again, Shen Dingzhu made a request, hoping that he could cure Jing Yi's condition.
"Your Majesty," Imperial Physician Cen looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty has specifically told me that only minor ministers are allowed to take care of your pulse. I dare not disobey the Holy Will openly or secretly."
Shen Dingzhu was wearing a peach-colored jacket, leaning on a mahogany chair, with ripples in his water-black eyes.
The corner of her mouth where Xiao Langyan bit her was already scabbed, which was even more obvious on the delicate white porcelain skin.
"Doctor Cen will just take a look and tell me what medicine I need, okay?"
Doctor Cen was a little embarrassed: "This..."
He turned around and motioned with his eyes to the elite soldiers left behind by Xiao Langyan who were standing at the door. They seemed to be patrolling, but in fact they were still monitoring.
Emperor Xiao Langyan is so majestic, who dares to offend him?
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly pointed to the corner of her lips: "Then I can prescribe this ointment to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis, okay?"
Imperial Physician Cen was startled for a moment, then realized: "Of course, the empress's phoenix body is the most important thing, and the emperor has also told me that I should be responsible for the empress's dragon fetus."
Finally, I got the hemostatic and blood-stasis removing ointment, but it was a pity that Dr. Cen did not dare to prescribe more ointment, so that when Xiao Langyan asked, he would not be able to cover it up.
That night.
Mr. Shi helped and applied ointment to Jing Yi's neck while he was lying on the bed.
Jing Yi was in pain, but he kept frowning and trying not to make a sound.
The door was pushed open, and Shen Dingzhu and Xiu Cui were holding a clean quilt. Her bulging belly made her movements look a little difficult, and Jing Yi's eyes seemed to be focused on her.
"Uncle Ren, ask A Liang to help him soon and change all the bloody bedding under him." The bedding is dry and wet, and it must be uncomfortable to lie down.
It's been so long, it's time to change it.
The elite soldiers in the mansion are only responsible for guarding and patrolling, ensuring that Shen Dingzhu does not escape.
However, they would not help take care of Jing Yi.
Xiucui felt sorry for Shen Dingzhu and said, "Master, why do you care about him? If the emperor finds out..."
"He will know. Everything we do here cannot be hidden from his eyes. If he doesn't agree, he will send someone to stop it in the afternoon after Dr. Cen returns." Shen Dingzhu said lightly.
She knew Xiao Langyan's bottom line too well.
He even took Wei Wan away, so what's wrong with her saving Jing Yi?
Mr. Shi sighed while giving Jing Yi the medicine.
"Young man, when you get better, you must treat our Ah Zhu well. You want to assassinate her, but she still tries her best to get you medicine and treat your illness."
Jing Yi's brown-black tiger eyes looked deeply in Shen Dingzhu's direction.
He was not good at words and did not speak. He just looked at her like that, which made Xiu Cui feel that his eyes were too complicated and he blocked Shen Dingzhu directly.
However, the small bottle of ointment was quickly used up.
Shen Dingzhu used the same excuse to ask Dr. Cen to prescribe it, but Dr. Cen refused.
Doctor Cen was in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, the Emperor said that the small injury at the corner of your mouth will not heal completely. Please let your Majesty take care of the baby and don't worry about anything else."
At this point, he lowered his voice: "If the empress continues to forcefully ask for medicine to save Jing Yi, I'm afraid the emperor will feel uncomfortable and Jing Yi will die."
Shen Dingzhu paused: "I understand, thank you so much, Doctor Cen."
After prescribing the medicine, she asked Xiucui to send Dr. Cen out, and Shen Dingzhu invited Mr. Shi over.
"Uncle Ren, when do you usually open after the Chinese New Year?"
"Usually, after the Lantern Festival, the store will open," Mr. Shi said, and suddenly realized in surprise, "You want to go back to my shop to help? No, no, absolutely not, you are eight months pregnant. , it’s best not to go back and forth.”
As the winter sun shines at the beginning of spring, Shen Dingzhu is sitting on a chair, and the peacock blue sapphire jacket on her body makes her look even more beautiful.
She pursed her red lips: "Mr. Cen said that my fetal position is not correct. I have to walk around at least once a day to facilitate delivery. Otherwise, it is most likely to cause dystocia."
"You have nothing to do at home, so let me help you for a while. Besides, there are so many things in the shops Mr. Xu left behind, so we can't just leave them alone."
Mr. Shi's eyebrows twitched and he looked into her moist, dark eyes.
He became anxious.
"My child, how dare you touch those things from Dadong Xu's house? I'm afraid the emperor is angry with you just because of this."
"He is already angry now. I don't do anything. I am too passive. Besides, Jing Yi's injury must be treated. I earned money and went to the city to buy medicine for him. Even if Dr. Cen doesn't cure it, he still has something to do."
Mr. Shi knew that Shen Dingzhu looked soft and gentle, but she was actually a woman who was very good at making her own decisions.
No matter how hard it is, she can't change her decision.
Mr. Shi could only sigh: "Okay! Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. After tomorrow, we will open. I will go to the shop to clean up in the next two days."
On the day of the Lantern Festival.
The city was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, fish and dragons were flying, and trees and trees were lit with fire.
Just after the night, people kept setting off fireworks.
Two streets away, Shen Dingzhu could hear the bustle on the street at night while sitting at home.
Xiucui kept looking around, glancing at the courtyard door from time to time.
Shen Dingzhu was sewing small clothes for her child. When she saw Xiucui looking outside again, she smiled and said, "Do you think the emperor will come today?"
Xiu Cui's thoughts were exposed, and she smiled with a slightly awkward eyebrow.
"I can't hide it from your eyes. I just feel... It's been several days, why hasn't the emperor calmed down? Today is the Lantern Festival."
When they were in the palace, Xiucui and the others had never seen the emperor and empress quarreling.
Even if Xiao Langyan ignored Shen Dingzhu for a few days, he couldn't help but look for her in the end.
Several days have passed this time, and Xiao Langyan hasn't come. Chen Heng is not here, and Xiucui has nowhere to inquire and is worried about Shen Dingzhu.
After all, seeing that their mother-in-law is eight months pregnant, there is no telling when the baby will be born.
Shen Dingzhu was threading the needle, and the gentle candlelight beside her glowed warm orange, illuminating the beauty like soft jade with warm tentacles, and the swollen belly added to the softness between the eyebrows and eyes.
"He won't come. I made him really angry this time. I'll apologize to him again when I get the chance."
Hearing this, Xiucui was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to apologize, why don't you go at any time? As long as you soften your words, the Emperor will probably forgive you right away."
Shen Dingzhu's smile faded. This time was different. She couldn't tell Xiao Langyan what she was enduring.
She just waited for Jing Yi to recover completely and testify for her.
Thinking of Jing Yi, Shen Dingzhu asked Xiucui: "Did you deliver the bowl of glutinous rice balls I asked you to deliver to the woodshed?"
"Sent him away, but he is tied up with a chain and can't eat. The slaves can't feed him. They are just waiting for A Liang and Mr. Shi to come back."
Hearing what she said, Shen Dingzhu was shocked to realize that Mr. Shi had been out all day and left before dawn. Why haven't he returned yet?
Shen Dingzhu stood up uneasily: "A Liang didn't come back either?"
"No." Xiucui shook her head.
Shen Dingzhu didn't know what was going on outside, but Mr. Shi's antique calligraphy and painting shop was only one street away from where they lived.
Even if something happens and I can't come back, I will send Ah Liang to say something.
Shen Dingzhu put on the short coat with silver branches and flowers: "We have to go to the shop and have a look."
I'm afraid I'm in trouble.
Xiucui quickly put down her work and followed Shen Dingzhu.
However, as soon as the master and servant reached the door, they were stopped by cold guards.
"The emperor has an order that the queen must not escape."
