Aunt Zhou sat down and said with a smile: "Doctor Xu, I'm really not sick. I must have made a mistake."
Doctor Xu put down the medicine box in his hand and said slowly: "I heard from Wanchun that you have a bad appetite recently and you often can't eat."
Aunt Zhou paused, thought for a while and said, "Yes, I really can't eat. Maybe it's because of the sultry weather these days, so I have a bad appetite."
The Third Prince came over, gently hugged her shoulders and said, "Well, we should take a look. It's not good to be unable to eat all the time."
Aunt Zhou looked up at him and smiled: "My poor appetite will get better in a few days. Why do I need to see a doctor? How about I ask Doctor Xu to prescribe some digestive medicine for me."
The third prince did not agree, but held her hand and handed it to Dr. Xu, "It is better to check the pulse first and then prescribe medicine."
Aunt Zhou couldn't resist the Third Prince, so she obediently extended her hand to Doctor Xu and asked him to feel his pulse. ?.?????.???
Doctor Xu took the handkerchief and gently put it on Aunt Zhou's wrist, feeling her pulse.
Aunt Zhou's fingers trembled slightly and her expression was slightly nervous.
The third prince put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her silently.
Doctor Xu looked solemn and checked Aunt Zhou's pulse several times.
The third prince noticed something was wrong, hugged Aunt Zhou tightly, and asked Doctor Xu seriously: "What is wrong with my wife?"
Doctor Xu slowly put away the handkerchief, turned around and took a few pairs of medicines from the medicine box, and handed them to the Third Prince, "Bake one for Madam every day."
The third prince borrowed the medicine, looked down at it for a long time, and asked in confusion: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Dr. Xu stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and said with a secret smile, "This is a miscarriage."
When Aunt Zhou heard this, she stood up and waved her hands and said: "Doctor Xu just has a bad appetite, what kind of miscarriage should you prescribe..."
"Fetal medicine?!"
As she spoke, she was suddenly startled and looked up at Dr. Xu, "Doctor Xu? What am I?"
Doctor Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Madam, you are pregnant."
"Pregnant?" After hearing these two words, Aunt Zhou's legs went weak and she almost fell onto the chair.
The Third Prince quickly supported Aunt Zhou and asked Doctor Xu seriously: "Are you really pregnant?"
Doctor Xu smiled from ear to ear, "Sir, you still don't believe in my medical skills? Madam is indeed pregnant, she is already three months old."
"Three months?" Aunt Zhou was stunned. She calculated the time in her mind and found that she had indeed not had her period for more than three months. However, she thought she was just older and that was why she was like this. Unexpectedly, It's actually because of pregnancy.
She stretched out her hand and gently stroked her belly, her lips quivering and said, "Can I still be pregnant at my age?"
Dr. Xu said slowly: "You can't say that. You and I are only in our thirties and forties, in our prime. Moreover, you and I are in better shape than ordinary people. It's not a surprise for you to be pregnant."
"In the past, in our village, there were people in their forties who had two children."
Aunt Zhou couldn't hide her joy after hearing this. She smiled and her eyes were red. She rubbed her eyes as she spoke: "My eldest grandson can read now. I am pregnant. If word spreads, people in the village may be afraid." You will make fun of me, old man."
Doctor Xu comforted her and said, "Madam, the child is your and the master's business. Even if someone makes a joke, it has nothing to do with them. It's not like your Zhou family can't afford to raise a baby."
Aunt Zhou was silent and looked at the third prince beside her.
Although this child came at an untimely time, she was very happy.
The third prince never married because of her, and he never had any children until he reached middle age.
In two years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have children again.
She could give him a child, which was a repayment of the love he had given to her over the years.
The third prince held Aunt Zhou in his arms, his eyes were blank, as if his soul had been taken out, and he looked forward motionless.
Doctor Xu's words kept echoing in his mind in disbelief.
Doctor Xu called to him: "Master, Master."
The third prince quickly came to his senses and looked up at Dr. Xu, confirming again just like Aunt Zhou had just done.
It wasn't until Dr. Xu repeatedly said that Aunt Zhou was pregnant that he burst into laughter with excitement, turned around and hugged Aunt Zhou into his arms.
