Concubine Shu's condition was more serious than she expected. Si Ning retracted his hand and quickly thought about what to say.
Seeing her look like this, Concubine Shu's heart sank and she waved her hand at the grandmother beside her.
"Everyone get down."
"Empress..."
Concubine Shu's face turned cold. Grandma did not dare to say any more and left with everyone.
Si Ning and Shu Fei were the only two people left in the room. Shu Fei spoke calmly.
"There is no one else here. Tell me, how is my health?"
Si Ning stared, "Your Majesty, worrying too much will cause the fetus to be unstable."
Concubine Shu listened and chuckled, "Why don't you tell me the truth? You have learned the words of the imperial doctor well."
Si Ning hurriedly lowered his eyes after hearing this, "I don't dare, my wife."
"You are braver than anyone else. You are different from those in the palace. Han Xiao has good taste."
She called Lu Hanxiao Hanxiao, and Si Ning raised his eyes to look at her.
Seeing Si Ning looking over, Concubine Shu's face softened with rare tenderness.
"I and Han Xiao grew up together. He was once my father's disciple and he was my father's most proud disciple."
This did not make Si Ning expect that Lu Hanxiao would have such a relationship with Concubine Shu.
Seeing that she remained silent, Concubine Shu thought she didn't believe it and told many little things about her and Lu Hanxiao's past. Although they were small things, they were enough to show the deep relationship between the two.
"Mrs. Lu, I don't want to show off to you by saying this. I just want to know whether the child in my belly is dead or alive?"
The fetus lives in the mother's body, and no one knows the condition of her child better than the mother.
Concubine Shu has been in constant trouble since her pregnancy. Although she doesn't want to admit it, she always feels that her relationship with this child is too shallow.
Si Ning noticed the change in her mood, thought about it for a moment, and shook his head.
"Not only will your pregnancy not survive, but it will also implicate you!"
If others heard such words, they would definitely scold Si Ning for being bold, but Concubine Shu did not react at all, with a flash of guilt on her face.
"Maybe he also thinks that I am too cruel as a mother, and he wants me to remember him forever."
Si Ning said nothing, and Concubine Shu put away all her emotions and returned to the way she was when they first met.
She asked Si Ning, "How long can I keep this child?"
"In twenty days at most, this child will not only have to be removed, but also disemboweled."
Concubine Shu's expression changed, and her eyes widened, obviously very surprised.
"Why disembowel it?"
"The fetus is not in a good position and something needs to be done to remove it or you are in danger."
Si Ning wondered whether ancient doctors knew about ectopic pregnancy. It was not recorded in ancient books, so they must not be aware of the existence of this disease.
Pregnant women suffering from fetal bleeding will only be treated as dystocia. This also leads to the fact that many pregnant women who should have a chance to survive end up with delayed treatment due to unknown causes.
Si Ning did not explain the principle of ectopic pregnancy to Concubine Shu. He only briefly introduced her current situation in words that she could understand.
She didn't know who spread the reputation of her wonderful rejuvenation to the palace, but now she wanted to thank that person.
Because Concubine Shu felt that she had superb medical skills and it was appropriate for her to know some medical knowledge that others did not understand, she did not ask Si Ning where she knew these weird things, and just said calmly.
"Okay, then give me a few days. I want to say my final farewell to this child."
Si Ning thought that coming to the palace to see Concubine Shu would be troublesome, but he didn't expect that Concubine Shu was not a difficult master, but more open-minded than ordinary people.
Anyone who heard that he was going to disembowel his body would definitely regard Si Ning as a monster.
Concubine Shu was just surprised and had complete trust in Si Ning.
Si Ning didn't know whether this trust was because of Lu Hanxiao or Concubine Shu's original temperament, but it didn't matter.
This is over, she can go home!
Concubine Shu did not send her away immediately, but stayed for lunch.
While eating, Concubine Shu mentioned her father.
"My father suffers from an old disease. When spring comes, he will cough and stay up all night. I wonder if Mrs. Lu knows what this disease is?"
Si Ning did not give an answer right away, "Seeing a doctor is about looking, hearing, asking, and asking. I can't judge just by listening to the descriptions. Many diseases sound similar, but in fact they are thousands of miles apart. A slight difference may cause the disease to be delayed due to diagnostic errors. If it is convenient for General Zheng, I You can go to your house to treat him."
Perhaps because he had been a soldier in his previous life, Si Ning had a natural affinity for soldiers.
She doesn't mind going to see General Zheng at home, it just depends on whether he is willing to do so.
Concubine Shu has a better impression of Si Ning. She is neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor eager to show off. No wonder people want to protect her so much.
She nodded, her tone not as cold as before.
"I'll talk to my father later."
The meal was enjoyable. After the meal, Concubine Shu ordered people to remove the things and bring tea. While she was chatting with Si Ning for a while, a little maid hurried in.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu's face returned to indifference, and she scolded him with a cold face.
"Hao Fu Fu Fu, this is how I teach you the rules on weekdays!"
The little maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word.
Concubine Shu looked at it and then coldly asked her to speak. The little maid hurriedly explained the matter briefly.
"Your Majesty, the tenth prince is missing!"
Concubine Shu frowned, "If you don't see it, you'll disappear. What does it have to do with me?"
The little maid hesitated to speak, fearing that she would offend Concubine Shu by saying the wrong thing.
But it was related to the tenth prince, so we had to talk about it.
So he bit the bullet and replied in a low voice, "Hong'er in the Tenth Prince's room said that the Tenth Prince disappeared in our Qingyan Palace."
Si Ning's heart skipped a beat and he looked towards Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu's face became a little colder, "What nonsense? Is our Qingyan Palace a bandit's den? Will we steal a child?"
The little maid saw that Concubine Shu was angry and did not dare to say anything. The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside again.
This time it was the nanny who was serving Concubine Shu. Compared with the little maid, she had a closer relationship with Concubine Shu, and she didn't have so many scruples about speaking.
"Your Majesty, many people saw the Tenth Prince coming to Qingyan Palace, and no one has seen him since. Hong'er insisted that he was lost in our Qingyan Palace, and we can't just sit idly by."
The loss of a prince in the palace is not a trivial matter, and the other party insists that it has something to do with Qingyan Palace. If Concubine Shu ignores it, she will definitely be criticized.
It's good that the tenth prince returns safely by then. If anything happens, Concubine Shu will have nothing to do with it.
Concubine Shu was sulking, and her mother wanted to give her some more advice, but Hong'er who was beside the tenth prince had already barged in.
As soon as he entered the room, he knelt down in front of Concubine Shu without saying a word and said in a medium voice.
"Please also ask Concubine Shu to send someone to find our master. If there is anything wrong with the tenth prince, the emperor will blame him."
