After the army set out, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely returned home, and he only hurriedly ate dinner and returned to the army during the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the end of August, Zhilan was about to give birth, and Ah Xiu ordered someone to invite Zhu Yuanzhang, but he just sent someone back to say that there were many affairs in the army and that he lacked skills.

The weather is hot and hot, Zhilan has only been willing to eat fruit for a month, others are in the early stages of pregnancy and can't eat anything, Zhilan is the opposite of people, the more she vomits in the end, the more fierce she vomits, and even the soup and gruel can only drink a few sips in the last few days, and people quickly reduce it. Ah Xiu asked Dai Si to diagnose her pulse, Dai Si frowned every time, only saying that the mother's appetite was not good and the fetus was unstable, so Ah Xiu wanted to prepare more and not be caught off guard temporarily.

Ah Xiu knew the meaning of Dai Si's words, but he still begged Dai Si to prescribe more prescriptions for blood replenishment and fetal protection, and boiled it for Zhilan. Seeing this, Ah Xiu persuaded her many times, but Zhilan just lowered her head. After a few days, he vomited on the bed and trembled after drinking a few sips of medicine, Ah Xiu knew that this was the case, and gradually stopped being reluctant, but just told the girls to serve carefully, and if there was any change, they should return in time.

On August 20, Zhilan gave birth to a son, the child was already lifeless after birth, Ah Xiu held back her tears, still cleaned and wrapped it, held it in her arms and prayed in a low voice: "Child, you have to reincarnate back, your mother and I are waiting for you." Zhilan never heard the child crying, and saw the midwife's face was shocked, and her heart was very clear for a while, and she saw Ah Xiu crying from a distance, and she knew that it was not good, but she still got up and said, "Sister, is the child useless?" Anyway, let me take a look, I can't keep this child, in the end I am pregnant for ten months, mother and son, let me take a look! ”

Ah Xiu held back her tears, hugged the child and handed it to Zhilan, Zhilan leaned on the pillow and hugged it, and caressed her gently: "Child, it's useless to be a mother, you can't eat and drink, you're hungry, don't be afraid." My mother will take care of herself and wait for you to come back. Ah Xiu's voice trembled and nodded hoarsely: "It's a long time coming, just now I told this kid that you and I will wait for him to come back." Zhilan touched the child's face again and again, and finally handed it to Ah Xiu: "Sister will find a place for me to return the child!" The prince will definitely complain about me. Then he turned around and wept.

Ah Xiu wanted to persuade her, but after all, she didn't speak, and ordered her mother-in-law and maid to serve her well, and came out to hand the child to Su Xin: "Send it to Mr. Dai Si to see, I always feel choked in my heart." If there is no abnormality, send someone to find a good place and bury it properly. If there is anything unusual, you remember the words clearly and come back to me. Su Xin nodded, covered the child's face with a plain cloth, and took him out of the house.

Passing by Qiuqin's yard, Ying'er sighed: I'm afraid this one is useless. Ah Xiu remembered that Qiu Qin's recovery was indeed much slower than expected, and it was not until July that she could barely get out of bed and help people walk two steps. Ah Xiu never mentioned Sun Fu's matter.

On the second day, Dai Si personally came to the house to talk back, and Ah Xiu only asked: "Is the child dead in vain?" Dai Si nodded, and was about to say, Ah Xiu stopped him, led him to Zhilan's house, and said to Zhilan: "Mr. Dai came to see you, he has something to tell me, but you are the child's biological mother, and you should listen to this with you." ”

Zhilan looked up at Dai Si when she heard this, Ah Xiu looked at her tear-stained face, and swollen transparent eyelids, and felt distressed like a pinprick in her heart, this woman has been sincere to the prince from the beginning of the humiliation, and in the end of the pregnancy for ten months, yin and yang are separated, fate, how unfair.

Dai Si bowed down and replied solemnly: "Princess Yu and Concubine Side, when I checked the pulse, the mother was not abnormal, but the fetus was shaken and uneasy, even if the fetal medicine was prescribed, it did not work, I thought it was the side concubine's body was weak and did not stand, and I couldn't bear the little master, but yesterday I saw the body of the child who was born, and I knew that someone had assassinated the mother and son of the side concubine." ”

Ah Xiu and Zhilan were shocked when they heard this, although Ah Xiu was prepared just now, but now when they heard Dai Si say it, they were still surprised, Dai Si was a national player, and he could kill his son and keep his mother without his eyes, how could ordinary people do it?

Zhilan was even more afraid, Ah Xiu sent someone to take strict care of her, for fear that she would follow in the footsteps of Qiu Qin, and she would still be handed over by someone else. Ah Xiu forcibly stabilized his mind and asked Dai Si: "With what Mr. Dai has learned, can you tell me what the means are?" Since Qiu Qin lost her son, Zhilan has never even been in contact with her life, how can she be counted as assassinated? ”

Dai Si looked ashamed: "Forgive Dai for not being talented, I have never seen this kind of thing in my life, please allow me to discuss with a few colleagues and re-examine, maybe I can find out the reason." Ah Xiu was puzzled: "Is there anyone else with higher medical skills than Mr. Dai?" Dai Si nodded: "Lou Ying, Lu Fu, and Wang Lu are the same age as me, and if we encounter problems and miscellaneous diseases, we will discuss them together." ”

Ah Xiu nodded: "It's just someone else, this Mr. Wang Andao, Wang Lu, is quite famous for his poetry and paintings, and he is also familiar with medical science?" Dai Si smiled: "An Tao and I are senior brothers, I started a few days earlier, and I am his senior brother." Antao is not only outstanding in poetry and painting, but also quite fine in medical science, and eclectic. The minister thinks that the use of medicine is precisely more expensive than eclectic. ”

Zhilan asked: "Lou Ying and Lu Fu, since Mr. Dai is familiar with each other, I want to come to my son's life, you can distinguish it!" If my son's revenge is avenged, Da Shi is not talented, and I am willing to serve a few great sages as a cow and horse in the next life! Saying that she was about to kowtow when she struggled, Ah Xiu held her down: "Mr. Dai is benevolent and benevolent, our revenge will definitely be avenged one day, you take care of your body now, otherwise how can you have the strength to fight the murderer in the future?" ”

Dai Si solemnly responded, bowed down to say goodbye, Zhilan sobbed in Ah Xiu's arms, Ah Xiu comforted her, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: This scene is human and wrong, and it consumes the lives and brilliance of these women in the mansion, they are not wives, and they have no honor behind them. Now he has lost his son one after another, and it is even more painful! Now before the water comes out, whether it is for himself or the prince, who can stay out of the matter? Thinking of this, Ah Xiu felt that the whole person was immersed in the ice river and sank with the waves.

In September, the Yuan court announced to the world that Fang Guozhen was appointed as the left prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious when he heard the news, and the morale of the front line plummeted, and Xu Da sent a secret letter to tell Tang He and Ah Xiu. Under the bitter battle, in November, Xu Da conquered Huzhou, Li Wenzhong conquered Hangzhou, and entered the siege of Pingjiang. The war slowed down a little, and Zhu Yuanzhang only returned to live in the house for two days, and when it came to Zhilan, he just sighed and was silent. Ah Xiu knew that Zhu Yuanzhang cared. I won't say much. (To be continued.) )
