244 Seeking a son
When Taohua arrived at Prince Cheng's mansion, there was already a circle of imperial doctors there, and when they saw Taohua coming, they all showed a little embarrassed look.
Taohua looked at their expressions and felt that something was not quite right: "How is Prince Cheng?" Now these diseases that the imperial doctors are tied to seem to be under her control, but the imperial doctors should not be like this when they see her, whether it is jealousy or shame, it is normal, what is this embarrassment?
Several imperial doctors glanced at each other, and one of them coughed dryly: "Princess Huijun, Prince Cheng-" Speaking of this, he was actually stunned.
Taohua was about to ask again, but Imperial Physician Li had already come out of it, and when she saw Taohua, she was like a lifesaver: "Princess, please go in and take a look at the prince!" "Oh my God, he hasn't found a chance to leave Prince Cheng's mansion yet, why did something happen, it's just unlucky to get home!
"What the hell is it?" Taohua is still inexplicable. Hasn't Prince Cheng always been quite stable? Even if his son died last time, he survived, could it be that something happened to Prince Cheng's Mansion recently? I haven't heard of it.
Imperial Doctor Li was anxious, and he couldn't care about that much, so he blurted out: "It's a disease of deyang!" โ
The doctors next to him lowered their heads together. It is really ...... to have a woman come and treat a man for the disease of impotence
After Doctor Li finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and he suddenly didn't know what to say. The princess of the county is married, and she looks like that, but how can she be allowed to go in and see it?
But before he could come up with anything more, Taohua had already entered.
It's really not very decent. Although Prince Cheng was covered with a quilt, it could be seen from the exposed shoulders that there was not an inch on his body. Coupled with a disease of de-yang, you will definitely not be able to run away from the day or something.
The envoy of the Zheng Yuan had already arrived, and he was asking people to pour ginseng soup for Prince Cheng, and when he saw Taohua coming, he was also stunned: "This is-" Who invited Princess Anjun to come over, what does this look like.
Taohua waved her hand: "Lord Envoy, what is the situation now?" โ
Although the envoy of the Zheng Yuan is old, he also feels embarrassed to tell a woman about this kind of thing: "This was the case when the lower officials came, I heard that - I heard that Prince Cheng has been a little unrestrained in this matter recently, and he is not very restrained......"
Imperial Physician Li's face was the same as a bitter gourd: "Recently, the prince and the princess have been very eager to ask for children...... "In fact, it is not modest, and the number of times the prince has sex is not much, but it is compared with ordinary people, if he uses his own frequency in the past, it is a bit much."
Taohua suddenly remembered that at the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng chased after her and asked her if she could still have children, it would not be the two of them who were keen to create people, and the result was ...... But this broad daylight is ......
"What about the Prince?"
"The maids who are waiting for torture...... I heard that it was Concubine Hu'......"
Since Taohua tactfully rejected Prince Cheng with a story, Prince Cheng has not given up. Of course, he himself knew that his body was not very good, and he did not dare to be unscrupulous. But there is only one of him, but there are too many concubines and concubines on this side, so there is no way to divide them.
The two side concubines are particularly enthusiastic about this matter, after all, they all have ranks, and if they give birth to sons, they are much more noble than those born by concubines. You must know that in the previous dynasty, there was a noble family with no children, although there were sons born in the house, but the royal family took back the title on the grounds that the concubine could not inherit the title.
Naturally, this was because this noble family offended the emperor, but now the relationship between Prince Cheng and the emperor is not so good. It's good that the side concubines are on the jade, and the sons they give birth to always have an identity.
It's just that no one thought that Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng would actually join the ranks of giving birth to children. No one counted her in it before, one is that she still has a son, and the other is that she is thirty years old, according to the ideas of the two side concubines, I am afraid that she will not be able to give birth for a long time.
However, regardless of whether Prince Cheng can give birth or not, as soon as she joins, she will share most of Prince Cheng's time - after all, it would be best if he had a son-in-law, and Prince Cheng would prefer to be born by Prince Cheng.
In this way, it can be bitter for the two side concubines. Prince Cheng has not been close to Prince Cheng for several years, and now that she has suddenly joined in, the two side concubines have been squeezed into a situation where they have no chance, and if this continues, even if Prince Cheng can't conceive, they can't conceive either.
Among the two side concubines, Concubine Hu was a little bolder, so she took the opportunity to wait in the study during the day. Who knew that Prince Cheng's body, a little too many times, would not be able to withstand it. It was also Concubine Hu who was unlucky, but something happened when she came to serve, and at this time the person had been beaten and locked up by Prince Cheng, and was torturing those maids, asking them to admit that Concubine Hu gave Prince Cheng some unsightly medicine, hooked Prince Cheng Hu Tianhudi, and finally something big happened.
Of course, no one would say these words to Taohua so clearly, even the envoy of the Zheng Yuan felt that it was difficult to say it, but this illness plus the scene, and then mentioning Concubine Hu, who still doesn't know what's going on?
Taohua went over to check Prince Cheng's pulse and couldn't help but shake her head. Prince Cheng's health was not very good, but now he ...... I can only see if the ginseng soup works.
"Lord Wang-" At this time, there was a mournful cry of Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng outside, sharp and piercing, ringing all the way in, and when I saw Taohua, I suddenly raised a few points, "Brother and sister, you want to save our prince!" โ
Taohua was pierced by her voice, and her eardrums hurt, and she frowned: "Let's see if the ginseng soup can work......
Prince Cheng stretched out her hand and grabbed her hand, with a sad look on her face: "Brother and sister, you must think of something - it's all Concubine Hu's slut, who actually used some inferior means to seduce the prince, and such a big thing happened...... If the prince has three long and two short, I will definitely break her body into ten thousand pieces! โ
Taohua saw that the corners of her eyes were red, but there were not many tears, just a dry howl in her throat. Thinking about Chinese New Year's Eve, she was very eager to ask herself about childbirth, and faintly felt that there was something wrong with it. But this is someone else's business after all, not to mention that this matter of sex is also Prince Cheng's own willingness, she has already persuaded him, but Prince Cheng does not listen to him in order to ask for a son, then no one can do anything.
After pouring the ginseng soup, Prince Cheng's panting voice was a little rougher, but it still sounded like he was out of breath and out of breath and in. Zheng Yuan's brows furrowed, and he discussed with Taohua and decided to do the needle: "If it doesn't work again......
Taohua shook her head slightly. If acupuncture doesn't work, then no one can do anything.
When Prince Cheng heard this, she put her handkerchief over her face again, and cried loudly, crying while saying to the maid beside her: "Go, bring the eldest brother over, and let him come to see his father too!" โ
Taohua couldn't help frowning: "Don't frighten the child...... this kind of scene, is it okay to take the child to watch?"
Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng covered her face and cried: "His father is only one of his sons, how can he not come to fulfill his filial piety......"
That's the same thing...... Momoka couldn't help but sigh.
Zheng Yuan's kung fu is something that Taohua has to admire, not to mention that Prince Cheng is โกโก at this time, she is really not good at stepping forward, so she can only be made by Zheng Yuan.
Taohua retreated to the outhouse, and saw Prince Cheng's eldest son surrounded by nurses and maids. This kid doesn't look much better than when he was sick last time, the weather is already hot, Brother Xu has already put on a single shirt, he is still wearing a jacket, his face is pale, and his eyes are extraordinarily big and black, which makes people feel pitiful. He still remembered Taohua, and when he saw it, he saluted in a proper manner: "Auntie." โ
"Hey-" Taohua looked at the child and felt sour, since she gave birth to Brother Xu, she felt that her heart seemed to be much softer than before, especially to the child, "Go in and see your father, don't be afraid ......"
When the maid lifted the curtain in the back room, Taohua glanced at it, Prince Cheng was lying on the bed, his back was full of silver needles, like a hedgehog, and he didn't know if it would scare the child.
"Princess, princess-" A well-dressed mother-in-law rushed in, and she didn't care about anyone in the house, so she said to Prince Cheng, "Concubine Hu is red......
Prince Cheng was stunned: "What? Then his face turned cold, "Do you have any rules, shouting like this, what kind of system!" โ
The mother-in-law knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is confused, the princess forgives her sins!" He got up and walked out the door.
Prince and Princess Cheng turned her head and said softly to her son: "Big brother, you are so good to guard your father, and the mother concubine will go out to take a look." โ
The eldest brother turned pale with fright from the moment he entered the house, holding the nurse's hand tightly, and at this time he only nodded stiffly after listening to the words of Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng, and couldn't speak at all.
Prince Cheng didn't care about anything at this time, turned her head and went out of the house to find the mother-in-law, and said coldly: "What did you just say?" What happened to Hu? โ
This mother-in-law is also the companion of Prince Cheng, so Princess Cheng asked her to guard Concubine Hu, who already had sweat on her forehead: "Princess, Concubine Hu is crying and making trouble, and her stomach hurts." The slaves didn't take it seriously at first, but she became popular! She said, she said she must be pregnant! It was because she was pregnant that she panicked, and ran all the way to report to the princess, so that she didn't notice that there were outsiders in the house.
"Nonsense!" Princess Cheng was taken aback, and then her face was cold, "If she is pregnant, why didn't she report it?" โ
The mother-in-law said in a low voice: "The slave asked the girl who was waiting, and said that Concubine Hu's little day should have come a few days ago...... "This has dragged on for a few days, and most of them are really pregnant, as for not reporting it, I'm afraid Concubine Hu herself doesn't know."
Prince Cheng's face was even colder: "Nonsense! There are also small days that are a few days late. If she really has it, how dare she hook the prince to do that? โ
The mother-in-law was dumbfounded, and after a while, she whispered, "Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse?" โ
Prince Cheng sneered: "It's just a postponement of the small day, what kind of pulse is the diagnosis!" She is the one who harmed the prince, if the prince has three longs and two shorts, she will die! Now calling yourself pregnant is nothing more than to escape the sin - don't think! โ
The mother-in-law's lips moved, and she didn't dare to speak again. In fact, whether Concubine Hu is pregnant or not, you will know it as soon as you diagnose the pulse, not to mention those imperial doctors, isn't there a princess of Anjun sitting in the house now? But looking at the meaning of the princess, no matter whether Concubine Hu is really pregnant or fake, she plans to say that the small day has been postponed.
Also, if the prince really has three long and two short, and the eldest brother is the only bloodline, it must be the heir. But if Concubine Hu is really pregnant, in case she has another son, with the eldest brother being so weak now, it is difficult for the younger brother to guarantee that he has no ambition, even in the palace, I am afraid that he is willing to see Prince Cheng's mansion fight by himself......
This woman figured it out, and her head hung even lower - she made a big mistake just now, she shouldn't have said that Concubine Hu was red in front of those imperial doctors and Princess Anjun, these people are all proficient in medical skills, but I am afraid that if I hear her words clearly, I will guess that Concubine Hu is pregnant.
The imperial doctors are accustomed to being cautious, and they have been walking around the palace for many years, and they can count what they can and can't say, and they have no grudges with Prince Cheng's mansion, so they will not spread anything if they know anything. But Princess Anjun, her own princess, has offended her several times, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not reveal so many words. If this is the case, I am afraid that my life will be lost, after all, everything is said by my own mouth.
The more the mother-in-law thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she only hoped that Princess Anjun was in the outhouse at the time, and she didn't hear what she said.
Princess Cheng bit her lip and thought for a while, then said to the woman in a deep voice: "Go and see the Hu family." โ
Concubine Hu was locked up in a wing room in an empty courtyard next to her, but there was a bed in the house, but only a mat was laid, not even a mattress. At this moment, Concubine Hu fell on the bed, covering her lower abdomen with her hands and โกโก weakly. She was originally dragged all the way here by Prince Cheng's study with people by Princess Cheng, wearing a small coat on her body, wrapped in a skirt haphazardly, and her hair was so messy that it was out of shape. As soon as Prince Cheng came in, she sneered: "Now that the life and death of the prince are uncertain, who are you pretending to be like a fox?" โ
Concubine Hu's face was pale, and there was already a pool of red on the skirt under her head, and she barely got up from the bed to kneel: "Princess, I'm really pregnant, please princess, this, this is the prince's blood!" โ
She now regrets dying. These days, I just think about how to fight for a little opportunity from Prince Cheng, why don't I pay attention to the postponement of my little day? If she had known, how could she have gone to Prince Cheng to cause this to happen...... But she was also wronged, at that time, she and Prince Cheng had just rolled into bed, and Prince Cheng couldn't do it before she entered the alley, which, this really can't blame her......
"When you used that medicine to seduce the prince, did you think that the prince's body was not good?" Prince Cheng's eyes lit up terrifyingly, "This son is going to be unable to escape responsibility, and he is going to lie about being pregnant?" Don't think I don't know, it's your little day! โ
"No-" Concubine Hu was stunned by Prince Cheng's words, "I, I didn't use any medicine...... "She is a side concubine, Prince Cheng also likes her, and he also wants to spread the branches, what kind of medicine does this need?"
"Hosoyanagi has confessed." Prince Cheng said coldly, "How did she go outside to find You Fang Langzhong to buy medicine, and how she put the prince in tea, she confessed the same." โ
"Willow?" Concubine Hu screamed, "Impossible! It is impossible for Hosoyanagi to say this! "It was her maid from the house, the daughter of her nurse, and the most faithful, and could never have made up such nonsense.
"Where's the willow? Where is the willow? Concubine Hu didn't care about the pain in her abdomen, crawled to the side of the bed and screamed, "I want to see her!" "If the charge of drug is confirmed, Prince Cheng has three long and two short, she will not be able to escape death.
Prince Cheng didn't speak, and someone next to her had already replied: "Xiliu, this cheap maid bit her tongue and committed suicide in fear of sin, but the slaves and maids have already found the medicine in the side concubine's house." โ
"You guys, you!" Concubine Hu suddenly understood, and screamed with all her strength, "I have the flesh and blood of the prince, I am pregnant, you-" She knew that Prince Cheng wanted to frame it, as for the child in her womb, Princess Cheng didn't want to keep it at all!
She screamed as she got out of bed and wanted to rush out. Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng made a look, and the mother-in-law who went to report the news stretched out her foot and stumbled.
Concubine Hu was already staggering and panicking, and she didn't notice the woman's feet at all, and she was suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. She screamed, and the pool of blood on her skirt that had not yet dried suddenly widened again.
Prince and Princess Cheng looked at her coldly and ordered: "Take good care of her, don't commit suicide like a fine willow, it's not clear." โ
Prince Cheng couldn't be saved, and the envoy of Zheng Yuan gave him an injection, but in exchange for him barely opened his eyes, and without saying a word, he passed out again, and lost his breath in the middle of the night.
Taohua left Prince Cheng's mansion after he fell into a coma again, and there was no point in staying, there was no help. What's more, this matter is embarrassing and strange, and it is difficult for her to stay there.
Shen Shu is walking with Brother Xu, Rao is a big man who is skilled in the battle formation of bow horses, and he was also made by Brother Xu'er with back pain, and when he saw Taohua come back, it was like being amnestied: "Your mother is back." โ
Brother Xu walked very happily. On weekdays, the nurses and maids are holding his hands tightly, not letting go for a moment, and when he walks a little faster, someone will say: "Brother slower, brother be careful, it's not a ......trick if you fall" Hearing this, his ears were calloused.
Today, when his father walked with him, he would not say this, nor would he hold his hand tightly, but let him walk by himself, only when he was about to fall, and tell him to walk steadily, which is much more comfortable than letting those nurses and maids lead him. Of course, he also fell twice, and once he hurt his little buttocks, but he was still very happy.
But when he saw his mother, his father could throw it aside, and Brother Xu pierced his head into Taohua's skirt: "Cool-"
Taohua came in after changing her clothes in the outhouse, and when she heard this "cool", she touched his little head with soft hair and laughed: "When will you be right?" Why do you sweat all over your head? โ
"Dad, let's go-" Brother Xu'er's mouth was still unfavorable, and it was difficult to find the right words to express his joy for a while, so he could only turn around and point his little finger at Shen Shu, and then turn back and smile at Taohua.
"Oh, Daddy is leading you on the walk?" Taohua guessed, while taking the dry handkerchief to wipe the sweat of Brother Xu, "Look at the sweat on your body, how long have you been walking?" Don't get tired! The smell of sweat on my body is so big, ouch, my clothes are still so dirty, where did I roll around? It's all a stinky brother! โ
Brother Xu hugged Taohua's neck and giggled. In fact, the smell of children's sweat is mixed with the smell of milk, and it doesn't smell at all. However, he didn't know how to protest yet, and happily accepted the title of stinky brother.
Taohua was softened by his laughter, hugged him and kissed him again and again. Shen Shu smiled beside him: "This kid is bold, he wants to run away when he leaves, and he didn't cry after falling twice." โ
The nurse next to her secretly wiped her sweat. If they look at their brother, they definitely don't dare to let their brother fall to the ground. The prince dared, but when his brother was about to fall forward, he would help him, or if his brother fell backwards and fell to the back of his head, he would stop him in time. is also thanks to the good skills of the prince, and they will never dare to take risks if they are replaced.
"Does it hurt to fall?" Taohua hugged her son and asked with a smile. Although he knew that Shen Shu was there, he would not let Brother Xu fall too hard, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Brother Xu reached out to cover his little buttocks, his mouth moved, and it took a long time to squeeze out two words: "Fall, pain." โ
"Then you can't leave?"
This time, Brother Xu replied very quickly: "Go!" โ
Taohua couldn't help laughing, touching the sweat on his body that had dried up, so he asked the nurse to take a bath. As soon as the child left, the bad things in Prince Cheng's Mansion came to his heart again, and he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
"What's the matter, over there in Prince Cheng's Mansion-" Shen Shu saw her like this, and when she came back, she changed her clothes before coming in, and knew that something must be wrong, "Could it beโnot good?" "Otherwise, Taohua wouldn't even change her underwear before coming in to hug her son, I'm afraid I just don't want to bring back any bad luck.
Taohua smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This really makes me die...... so she told her guess, "Although no one dares to tell me clearly, but this matter ...... Others are afraid that they don't know that Prince Cheng ......"
Shen Shu raised his eyebrows: "Then Concubine Hu is pregnant?" "Although he has no relationship with Prince Cheng at all, how can he say that it is also his second brother, and now the concubine in the belly is actually a nephew and niece, how can he be strangled by Prince Cheng when he looks at it?
Taohua glanced at him: "You don't want to care, do you?" One is the only one I have heard, and there is no empirical evidence. The second is that you go over now, and it's too late. โ
"That's ...... after all"
Taohua shook her head: "It's not that I'm ruthless, to be honest, even if Concubine Hu's child can be born, it's best to be like the first two children, I'm afraid it's not as good as it......" After all, Prince Cheng is already old at this time, no more than when he gave birth to his first two children, he was still a young man of twenty years old, "Not to mention that if he is really born, Prince Cheng's mansion is afraid that it will be messed up...... Maybe, not a single child will be saved. โ
Shen Shu was silent for a moment and sighed: "This matter is all to blame for the princess, if it weren't for the two children she tossed in front of her...... Why is the second brother so anxious to ask for a son...... "If you really have two sons, even if they are all sick and crooked, Prince Cheng will be more stable in his heart."
Taohua sighed: "I told him a long time ago that he is not suitable to ...... now" But people don't listen, what can you do?
Moreover, Concubine Hu also ...... "In broad daylight, it's strange if you don't have a handle."
Shen Shu felt that he had nothing to say. After a while, he said: "I only hope that the eldest brother is well, and he can keep the second brother's incense line......"
