As soon as February passes, spring is sprinkled throughout the city, and April is the best time to enter and exit Kyoto Castle, with more horse-drawn carriages entering and leaving Kyoto Castle every day, and several places inside and outside the city are also very lively.

For Qi Xiangsi, this season is like farming, a good time to plant medicine, although she has entered the internal teaching, she is still used to going to Taiyi Chen's western pharmacy to help grow herbs.

She was very busy, she had to study with Imperial Doctor Wen, she had to go to Baihua Lane every few days, and the rest of the time had to study the illness of the Eighth Prince, and she went back to Qi Mansion to get books a month ago, and she didn't go back since.

There were several thick books on the table, all spread out, Qi Xiangsi frowned slightly, half of the paper in his hand was written, and he encountered a problem again.

This is the fourth time in more than a month, and she is full of doubts about the illness of the eighth prince.

If she wants to cure the disease, she must first detoxify, at least, she has to know what kind of poison is in the Eight Princes, but why the diagnosis book for the Eight Princes has never recorded poisoning.

Qi Xiangsi put down the pen and had to know more about it.

At this time, there was a shout from outside the courtyard, looking out of the window, Laixi hurriedly ran in, saw her there, held on to the door frame and gasped a few breaths to urge her: "Quick, the Ten Princes sent someone to invite you." ”

"What do you ask me to do?" Qi Xiangsi closed a few books, "What's wrong?" ”

Lai sat down on the threshold with joy: "What else can happen, the side concubine is about to give birth, and the tenth prince sent someone to the front door to invite you over." ”

"No, it's more than half a month!" Qi Xiangsi realized right away that something was wrong, the one sent by the palace, the one who was invited outside was not an experienced woman, if there was no problem with An An Stable, where would someone be sent to invite her when she was born.

"Let's go."

Qi Xiangsi didn't say a word and took the medicine box and walked to the door, feeling a little uneasy, turned around and took the box from the cabinet and put it in the medicine box.

Qi Xiangsi saw the person sent by Yan Conghe outside the Tai Hospital, Qi Xiangsi instructed Laixi to wait for Imperial Doctor Wen to come back from the inner palace to tell him about it, and followed the person sent to leave Jiusi Lane, and only after getting into the carriage did he roughly learn the ins and outs.

When he got up early in the morning, Qi Minhua, who had eaten breakfast, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then his stomach began to hurt, and he couldn't stand on his feet at all.

It is only half a month before the birth, the ten princes love the side concubine, and prepared a stable woman early, and the Qi family also sent an experienced stable woman over, and learned that the side concubine was going to give birth, and after panicking for a while, he quickly prepared in an orderly manner.

But more than an hour passed, and there was no sign of the child's birth, but Qi Minhua fainted twice, and after waking up, she begged Yan Conghe to send someone to the Tai Hospital to invite Qi Xiangsi over.

"How can there be signs of miscarriage." When Qi Xiangsi went back to the Ten Princes' Mansion, he was still fine, and every half a month, the Tai Hospital would send someone to check the pulse.

The people sent didn't know much, Qi Xiangsi pressed the next love, and turned his head from time to time to look out the window, the Ten Princes' Mansion, which was not far from the palace, had walked for more than a quarter of an hour.

After getting off the carriage, Qi Xiangsi entered the house, but was stopped at the door.

Wei Rushi stood at the gate with several people, glanced at the medicine box in Qi Xiangsi's hand, and looked arrogant: "This is the Prince's Mansion, why do you bring anyone inside, don't you rush out quickly!" ”

"Concubine Niangniang, this is the order of His Royal Highness to invite the little one." The people sent by Yan Conghe protected Qi Xiangsi, and greeted Wei Rushi with a smile, "Niangniang, look, do you want the little one to bring people in first, so as not to be in a hurry." ”

"It's not for you to enter the palace to report to your mother, send someone to invite the imperial doctor to come over, why did you call a medical girl!" Wei Rushi didn't nod, no one in the way moved, she glanced at Qi Xiangsi, "Bring people back, and then ask the imperial doctor to come over." ”

"Niangniang, Miss Qi is not a medical girl, she is a student of Imperial Physician Wen, and Her Royal Highness ordered her to invite her."

"It's not a doctor, it's not a doctor, you still dare to bring it to the house, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall, don't you go to the hospital to ask for someone soon!"

Before she finished speaking, Wei Rushi interrupted, she didn't know Qi Xiangsi's identity, but she just didn't let her in, holding that she was neither a doctor nor a doctor, what qualifications did a student have to enter the house to see a doctor.

"Niangniang, Your Highness asked the little one to invite someone over and take it to Concubine Qi immediately."

Wei Rushi was unmoved, and looked at him coldly: "You are confused, Your Highness obviously let you enter the palace to Concubine Mingliang, and sent someone to invite the imperial doctor to come over, when did Your Highness order you to invite such a person, delaying Concubine Qi is a small matter, and if something happens to the child in the womb, it is not enough for you to take ten lives to compensate." ”

Qi Xiangsi glanced at the person behind Wei Rushi, this posture is not good, drag her along, and then ask the imperial doctor to come and go, how long can you delay giving birth, I am afraid that there will be two lives at that time.

Are you still afraid of offending people at this time, Qi Xiangsi helped the medicine box: "Concubine Wei, is it me who His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince invited, and I have to ask him to know, if you heard it wrong, and something happened to Concubine Qi, then it is your responsibility." ”

"You are a mere medical woman, I haven't asked you yet, you dare to talk too much, come on, slap your mouth!" A touch of ruthlessness flashed on Wei Rushi's face, "Take her down for me!" ”

"You dare!" Qi Xiangsi shook off her mother-in-law and came up to take her, and her face sank, "Concubine Qi's life is at stake in the house, but you are here under this excuse to intercept, Concubine Wei, what kind of heart do you have, I'm afraid you don't want Concubine Qi's mother and son to live, I see Concubine Qi's premature birth, I'm afraid it can't be separated from you!" ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to slander this concubine!" Wei Rushi's expression was abrupt, and she scolded sharply, "Useless thing, why don't you take her down for me and beat me quickly!" ”

"You think you can hide it?" Qi Xiangsi snorted coldly, and dodged the slap with the help of the guard, "It seems that Concubine Wei is a thief with a weak heart, and she still wants to kill people and kill people." ”

"Bold, you still dare to talk nonsense here!" Wei Rushi glared at her with a hideous expression, Qi Xiangsi took a step back and sneered, "It seems that I was right, Concubine Wei, if you stop me again, the whole city of Kyoto will know that you want to murder Concubine Qi's mother and son." ”

"Take her down for me!" Wei Rushi shouted sharply, the pendant on her head trembled, and several people standing behind her rushed up to catch Qi Xiangsi, and the guards alone couldn't resist so many people, at this moment, a sword with its sheath suddenly came out from behind Qi Xiangsi, and poked it in front of the mother-in-law who wanted to slap her, less than half an inch away.

The woman leaned back in fright and didn't dare to move, the sword had no eyes, it was still glowing with cold light, and the rest didn't dare to move, Wei Rushi saw that the face of the person who appeared changed slightly, how could he come over!

Intimidated enough, Lu Qin slowly withdrew his sword and looked at Qi Xiangsi respectfully: "Miss Qi, please." ”

Qi Xiangsi glanced at the little prince behind him and walked into the gate of the Ten Emperors' Mansion.

At this time, Wei Rushi still wanted to stop Qi Xiangxi: "Little prince, even if you are here, it is not possible for His Royal Highness to order someone to invite the imperial doctor, what is it to bring her, the major matter of human life cannot be a child's play." ”

"If you asked the tenth brother, you will know." Yan Congyu's gaze swept over Qi Xiangsi's rubbed wrist, and then he pulled the knife from Lu Qin's waist with a change of hand, and before everyone reacted, the mother-in-law who pinched Qi Xiangsi's arm before to prevent her from moving had lost her right hand.

Wei Rushi screamed and covered her mouth, seeing that Yan Congyu's eyes were full of fear, the mother-in-law was already rolling on the ground in pain, and several people were stunned there, and no one dared to step forward to stop anyone again.

Qi Xiangsi went to the courtyard painted by Qi Min, and the ten imperial concubines who stayed in the courtyard were slightly stunned when they saw Qi Xiangsi coming in, and then asked someone to bring her in, and when she turned her head again, she saw the little prince, and the ten imperial concubines couldn't adapt to his indifferent appearance, so she asked slowly: "The eleventh brother is here, is he here to see His Royal Highness?" ”

"Where's the tenth brother?"

"Seeing that I'm busy, I'm a little dizzy, I just said that I was going to wait for someone, this quarter of an hour has passed, I'll send someone to find it, if the eleventh brother doesn't go to sit in the study, I'm afraid it will hit you."

"Not necessarily." Yan Congyu motioned for Lu Qin to look for it, and stood next to the Ten Imperial Concubines and didn't move again, it seemed that he wanted to stay here.

The tenth princess was stunned, looking a little embarrassed, and came to look for her through the maid, and quickly left to do other things

Qi Xiangsi walked into the delivery room, and was greeted by the smell of blood, several blood-stained cloths were thrown in the basin under the bed, one of the two mothers-in-law was sitting on the bed, the other was pushing Qi Min's stomach, and the cuckoo was guarding the bedside.

Seeing Qi Xiangsi coming in, the grandmother from the palace first sank her face: "What are you doing here, don't look at what kind of place this is, don't go out quickly!" ”

The cuckoo shouted to the fifth girl, and Qi Minhua, who was about to pass out on the bed, opened his eyes wide and turned his head to look at her: "Minying." ”

Qi Xiangsi rolled up her sleeves and quickly cleaned her hands, walked to the side of the bed and checked her pulse first, where did the grandmother from this palace allow her to ignore her so much, and scolded her to drive her out: "What kind of mess are you making here, don't go out quickly." ”

Qi Xiangsi ignored her, asked Du Juan to take out the box in her medicine box, brought a basin of hot water, melted two pills, opened the box and took out the silver needle bag and spread it, soaked several needles in hot water and put them on the cotton cloth, and then rolled up the sleeves of Qi Min's painting, signaled Du Juan to hand the needle to her, and comforted Qi Minhua with a smile: "I'll apply the needle for you first." ”

"How dare you do this if you're not a doctor!" Seeing that she ignored her, the grandmother directly reached out to stop her, Qi Xiangsi went down with a needle, and was not polite at all, and directly stuck it on the back of her hand.

"Ahh Mama hurriedly □□ the needle, it was too deep□□ it hurt badly, Qi Xiangsi looked at her with a smile, and raised the silver needle in her hand, "It seems that Mama is injured, that's not good, staying in the house will add to the chaos, Cuckoo, send Mama out first." ”

"I want to report to my mother, ask you!" The grandmother was a little afraid that Qi Xiangsi would do it again, so she took a few steps back, and found that her palm was hurting more and more, so she hurriedly went out to find the imperial concubine to drive Qi Xiangsi out.

The room was finally quiet, and the Wen Po sent by the Qi family was drawn with Qi Min, Qi Xiangsi asked her to pay attention to the needle while applying the needle, and after the silver needle went down, she changed positions with Wen Po, and looked down to see that the amniotic fluid was already turbid.

"Is the fetal position correct?"

"It was already in the pot a few days ago."

"When will it be opened?"

"An hour ago, but the mother had a miscarriage first, and she shed a lot of amniotic fluid."

Imperial Physician He is in the inner palace, and if he wants to invite him, he has to make it clear from the queen mother, the teacher is in the inner palace, even if he came over, he didn't come so quickly, he has been launched for so long, and he didn't even invite a doctor outside.

Qi Min's portrait saw her thoughts, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "It's the fastest time to ask you to come over, and I'm not at ease." ”

Whether it was deliberately delaying time or why, I don't know when I was pursuing it now, Qi Xiangsi wiped her sweat: "If you believe me, listen to me later, and the rest will wait for the child to be born." ”

After pulling out the needle, Qi Minhua had some strength, she was already numb from pain, and at this time, the grandmother who had just gone out walked in again, and she sat in that position instead of Wen Po to deliver Qi Minhua.

It just so happened that Qi Minhua's lower abdomen began to hurt, and she held her strength with all her strength, but for some reason, Qi Xiangsi obviously looked like she could come down, but at the last moment, Qi Minhua was always out of strength.

The bleeding was temporarily stopped, but the amniotic fluid was muddy and could not be held back for a long time, if the third sister lacked strength, the child would definitely not be born.

The grandmother patted her leg vigorously: "Concubine Li, if you continue like this, the child will suffocate inside." ”

Qi Minhua shook her head lightly, there was another pain in pain, she arched her body in pain, and the grandmother shouted and showed her head, and the next moment, the child shrank back again.

The cuckoo hurriedly fed Qi Minhua a piece of ginseng, Qi Xiangsi looked at the grandmother and became suspicious, when Qi Minhua fell in pain, she grabbed the hand of the grandmother and looked at her with a smile: "Mama, let's come." ”

The grandmother's hand shook, Qi Xiangsi pulled her up hard, and sat down in her stunnedness.

After serving in the palace for so many years, there are not ten but seven or eight children delivered for the royal family, how could this grandmother have been treated like this, she pointed at Qi Xiangsi and trembled: "You are so bold, the side concubine must have three long and two short, you"

"The side concubine has three long and two short, and you can't get out of it, Mama." Qi Xiangsi looked at her for a long time, her qi and blood were so weak when she diagnosed her pulse just now, her body was so good before, the signs of miscarriage were unusual, and even the difficulty of the later birth was a little unusual.

Mama's face turned red, and Qi Xiangsi suddenly smiled: "Cuckoo, look forward to this mama." ”

The grandmother couldn't get closer anymore, Qi Xiangsi expected it to be right, it was indeed related to the grandmother, although she didn't know what the grandmother did to make the third sister unable to exert force at the last moment, but the situation was much better than just now.

Outside the house at this time, Yan Conghe, who had been missing for nearly half an hour, was found, and the whole person was still groggy, as if he had just woken up.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" The imperial concubine stepped forward to support him, and when she left here, she was still very energetic, worried about Concubine Qi's affairs, why did she become like this now.

"His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince seems to have been drugged." Lu Qin reported to his master, "When his subordinates found him, he fainted on the attic couch. ”

The Ten Imperial Concubines who were holding Yan Conghe looked tight, and Yan Congyu looked at them: "Tenth sister-in-law doesn't know." ”

"Your Highness said that he was going to find someone, how could he sleep in the attic, besides, now is not the time for a nap." The Tenth Imperial Concubine patted Yan Conghe's shoulder and shouted softly, "Your Highness, are you uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm fine." Yan Conghe Qiang cheered up, turned his eyes to look at the delivery room of the main house, and there was no movement inside, "Is Miss Qi here?" ”

"It's already here."

As soon as the words of the tenth imperial concubine fell, Wei Rushi came in, with a few people, and when she saw Her Royal Highness who was supported by the imperial concubine, her face changed slightly, and then when she saw Yan Congyu, the corners of her eyes twitched, and she endured it.

She avoided her gaze and looked towards the main house, nervous in her heart, and snorted coldly: "I said that I wouldn't let the doctor come in, how can such a big thing be a child's play, and I actually invited her without inviting the imperial doctor." ”

"Shut up!" Yan Conghe scolded sharply, and Wei Rushi was immediately aggrieved, "Your Highness, I didn't do anything wrong, why did you murder me." ”

Yan Conghe's eyes flashed with disgust: "Don't think I don't know what you did. "He couldn't take any precautions, but luckily he sent someone to find Eleven.

"I didn't do anything." Wei Rushi's aggrieved appearance was the same as when she intercepted Qi Xiangsi at the door before, as if she had really been wronged, but no one was present to eat this set.

Yan Conghe is now concerned about the house, and several people are waiting in the courtyard, with different thoughts.

Wei Rushi also wanted to know the situation in the house, she was nervous in her heart, her eyes were shining, after so much time, this child must not be born, it is best to be able to die twice.

The Ten Imperial Concubines glanced at Her Highness with a complicated expression, and she was also nervous.

As time passed, the joy in Wei Rushi's heart became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't even hide it, so she lowered her eyes with a handkerchief.

At this time, Wen Po's voice came from inside the house, and she didn't say whether she was born or what, and the back door didn't open after this movement, Yan Conghe couldn't wait, and went directly to the door and shouted: "How is it!" ”

Wei Rushi hurriedly followed, who gave birth to a child was not the first to report the good news, not even a sentence of "born", there must have been an accident in the house.

Such joy could not avoid the sight of the Ten Imperial Princesses, and she looked towards the door, her mind divided into two places.

Yan Conghe shouted for a while before there was movement in the house, Wen Po opened the door, held a child in her arms and handed it to them with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Highness, Your Highness Hexi, it is a daughter." ”

Yan Conghe's heart hadn't let go yet, and he hurriedly glanced at the child: "Where is the side concubine?" ”

"Concubine Qi is asleep, the house has been cleaned up, Your Highness can go in and have a look." Without waiting for Wen Po to get out of the way, Yan Conghe couldn't wait to go in, and the Ten Imperial Concubines behind him looked at his back, the corners of her mouth were slightly astringent, and her mind was only relaxed.

Wei Rushi looked at the somewhat weak child in the swaddling clothes, and the vines of jealousy in her heart wrapped around her hard, and she was actually born, she was still alive.

"Sister can rest assured now." Suppressing those jealousies, Wei Rushi pulled out a smile and looked at the Ten Imperial Princesses, "Brother An has another sister." ”

The Tenth Imperial Concubine smiled back at her: "I'm afraid Concubine Wei's heart is not □□." ”

After the child was born, the imperial doctor in the palace was late, and the imperial doctor was followed by the reward in the palace, and the concubine sent someone to inquire, and Qi Xiangsi handed over the rest of the matter to the imperial doctor and Wen Po.

At this time, Yan Conghe, who had relieved his spirits, began to make trouble, took down the grandmother who was supposed to return to the palace, and asked someone to search the courtyard of Concubine Wei, and even the Ten Imperial Concubines who had done nothing were blamed.

In the front hall of the Ten Emperors' Mansion, after the ten rods went down, the grandmother screamed in pain.
