258 The concubine was falsely pregnant
On that day, Doctor Qin was hurriedly invited by the palace maid of Jingyang Palace, and he took the pulse of the concubine, and a happy smile overflowed on his old face. After diagnosing Ximai, there was always something in his heart that felt that something was wrong.
After returning to the Tai Hospital, he flipped through the medical books and codex left by his ancestors, and he didn't have an eyebrow until today, he was scared stupid at the time, hesitated for a long time, and still came to Jingyang Palace. He knew that even if he didn't say it, the concubine's belly would still be like this in a few days, and it would also expose the fact that he had a wrong pulse.
The symptoms of the concubine are very similar to those of pregnancy, and if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have misdiagnosed. False pregnancy is when the mother's expectations for the child are too strong, and all the symptoms of pregnancy appear, including morning sickness, multiple pulses, etc. And on that day, he did diagnose that there was a second life pulse in the concubine's body, and it was only then that he was determined that the concubine was pregnant with the prince.
In the past few days, he tossed and turned for the question in his mind, and he couldn't feel at ease, and today he was really taken aback by finding out the medical skills, and after some thought, he still decided to tell the truth to the concubine.
deliberately chose the moment when the emperor left, Doctor Qin was outside Jingyang Palace, and when the palace people guarding the door saw that it was him, they were all polite, they only regarded it as Niangniang who summoned him and respectfully invited him in.
A man led him to the outside of the main hall, and the maidservant who was waiting in front of the hall was also very surprised to see him, she had been staying there, and had never heard the lady call the imperial doctor.
"Please ask my aunt to speak for me, Qin has something important to ask to see his mother. Doctor Qin was making a gesture to the servant girl in charge, and there was a kind smile on his old face all the time, so that people couldn't see it.
"Doctor Qin is waiting, I'll come when I go. In the end, he is the person who protects the master's fetus, and the maid in charge does not dare to snub him, so he asks him to wait outside the door, and he goes into the palace to tell his mother.
Hearing the maidservant report that he was waiting outside the door, she hurriedly invited him in, and ordered someone to lay a chair for him, she looked at him with a smile on her face, and asked, "The doctor is coming late at night, I don't know what happened?"
"Qi Yu Niangniang......" Doctor Qin was glancing at the servant girl serving beside her, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Concubine Qin immediately understood, and sent the palace people beside her to guard outside, and then continued: "The doctor is right, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
The door of the temple closed from the outside with the sound of "crunching", and there was no one on the left and right, and there were only the two of them in the hall. Qin Yizheng suddenly got up from the chair, knelt down at the Qin Guifei in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Guifei Niangniang, the old minister is guilty." ”
Concubine Qin's hand that was about to help Qin Yizheng paused in mid-air, the joy on her face faded a little, and a heavy uneasiness suddenly surged up in her heart.
Before she could ask, she heard Qin Yizheng continue: "The old minister deserves to die, the noble concubine is not pregnant with the imperial heir, but is pretending to be pregnant." After he finished speaking, he knew that he was sorry for Qin Guifei, and he put his hands on the ground, not daring to get up.
The uneasiness in her heart was confirmed, as if she had been struck by lightning, she took two steps back in a daze, and muttered to herself: "Impossible, you are Ah Lang's most trusted imperial doctor, and you are the best doctor in the entire imperial hospital, how could your diagnosis be wrong?"
Just now, Ah Lang also promised him that after their son was born, he would give him supreme glory, how could she be a fake pregnancy, it must be Imperial Doctor Qin who deceived her.
"Qin Yizheng, if you have any troubles, you can tell them, Ah Lang and I will make decisions for you, don't fool me with such news. There was already a look of confusion in Concubine Qin's eyes, and she found a reason why Doctor Qin was doing this.
"Niangniang forgives her sins, the minister was not coerced by anyone, all this is the sin of the old minister. Qin Yizheng knew what she meant, but this matter was his responsibility, and after saying it, his heart was much more relaxed, no matter what the emperor and the concubine Niangniang did with him, he was willing.
"I know, it must be her, jealous that I was pregnant with the imperial heir before her, so she threatened you to fool me, you don't act, how can such a clumsy plan get into my eyes?"
"With such vicious intentions, Ah Lang will not let you go. The confusion in Concubine Qin's eyes was even heavier, and she had a tendency to become enchanted, her body began to tremble, and she trembled and pointed at Qin Yizheng in front of her.
"The concubine must take care of her body, the old minister's death is not enough to apologize, and she is willing to let the concubine Niangniang dispose of it. Doctor Qin was kowtowing to her incessantly. After living in the palace for all these years, he knows how important Zixi is to a concubine, not to mention that this is the emperor's first child.
Behind her was the table and chairs, Qin Guifei had nowhere to retreat, she supported the table behind her with one hand, and suddenly laughed loudly, but there were blood-red tears on her face.
The people outside the temple faintly heard the movement in the temple, but they did not dare to go without the master's command.
Doctor Qin was lying motionless on the ground, not even daring to raise his head, he didn't dare to look at the woman in front of him. If the emperor knew about this, not only would he be punished, but even Concubine Qin would also be implicated.
After a long time, Concubine Qin's laughter slowly stopped, and she squatted on the chair behind her, tears sliding down the corners of her eyes, washing away the blood-red traces on her face.
Qin Yizheng's body began to go numb, and the prolonged prostrations made his eyes faintly surrounded by stars, and a sense of dizziness came to his heart.
"Have you ever mentioned this to others?" I don't know how long later, Qin Guifei's voice came from overhead, and as far as I could see was a pair of embroidered shoes with jewels pendantd.
"The old minister never mentioned it to anyone. Doctor Qin was trying to preserve the last trace of clarity in his heart, and he replied respectfully.
"Very good, you remember, you went to Jingyang Palace tonight just to send medicine for the rest of the uterus, and there has never been any fake pregnancy. Concubine Qin was condescending, her voice was cold, she looked down at the people below her, and there was a flash of murderous intent in her eyes.
"Guifei Niangniang!" Qin Yizheng suddenly crashed into the bottomless pupils of Qin Guifei, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Qin Yizheng, as far as this palace knows, you still have an old mother, wife and children at home. Concubine Qin slowly paced around him, her voice was like a ghost urging her life, and suddenly she went around to his side, bent down and asked in his ear: "Have you ever thought that with Ah Lang's temper, if he knows that you are deceiving him in the matter of the imperial heir, I wonder if your family can still survive safely?"
The faint voice swept on Qin Yizheng's neck with the fragrance of a woman, but he felt as if there was a sharp blade on his neck, as long as he tilted his head, he would be killed by the murder weapon immediately.
He made such a mistake, even if he split the corpse of five horses, he would not be sorry to die. It's just that how innocent is his family, who should be implicated in this way with him? Thinking of his elderly mother and the child who is taking the examination for fame, two lines of cloudy tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.
"Doctor Qin is a smart person, how to decide, I believe you will definitely make the most appropriate choice, the night is getting deep, I won't leave Doctor Qin here. Qin Guifei's gorgeous robe dragged to the ground, and the sound of her skirt dragging the floor was like a poisonous snake crawling over Qin Yizheng's heart, he looked at Qin Guifei in front of him, and the whole person instantly aged ten years old.
"Niangniang, even if the old minister rots this matter in his heart, if it is another two months, Niangniang's body does not show her pregnancy, but how can it be good?"
"As long as Doctor Qin is making up for it, the rest of the matter will not be worried about Doctor Qin, I am free to do it, and I will definitely not implicate Doctor Qin, on the contrary, you will have merit in the fetus, and you will get a large reward. "Concubine Qin already has a plan in her heart, she must be pregnant with a dragon son in the shortest possible time, and the fake pregnancy must not be known to Ah Lang.
"Conscience, send Qin Yizheng. Concubine Qin raised her voice, and the maidservant who had been waiting outside the door came in, but saw that the master had a smile on her face, and said to her slowly: "I'm tired that Doctor Qin is coming late at night, I really don't want to go, conscience, give Mrs. Qin the pair of bracelets that Ah Lang gave yesterday." ”
Liang Nian took a pair of transparent jade bracelets and put them on Qin Yi's forehand, and glanced at him with a smile.
Qin Yizheng's already rickety body was a little shorter, and he trembled and accepted the reward of Qin Guifei, and said, "The old minister thanked Guifei Niangniang for his inner son. ”
"Qin Yizheng, this is just a little bit of my mother's heart, the emperor always praises you in front of her mother, saying that with your care, her mother will definitely be able to give birth to the little prince safely. "Conscience didn't know what was happening in the palace, but he was too excited that Doctor Qin was rewarded.
Her unintentional words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into Qin Yizheng's heart one by one, and his body trembled even more.
Conscience sent Qin Yizheng out of Jingyang Palace, and then turned back, she glanced at Qin Yizheng's figure as she walked faster and faster, and she didn't know what was going on, Niang Niang actually sent them out.
This thought just started, and she was eliminated from her mind, shaking her head, and a smile appeared on her face again, the master's affairs, you can't say much if you shouldn't ask, this is the way to survive in the palace. She can have today's low position, and it is precisely because of her temperament that Qin Guifei can use her with confidence.
Along the way, the guards in Jingyang Palace greeted her, and the "aunt" called her happy, the master was pregnant, and the honor of Jingyang Palace was a beginning.
Doctor Qin was walking on the way back to the Tai Hospital, away from Jingyang Palace, and was able to catch his breath a little, if this matter was concealed, it would be difficult to ensure that Concubine Qin would not take advantage of this to endanger others in the harem, thinking of her resentment when she was stunned, Doctor Qin was squeezing out a wry smile with difficulty.
The flowers and trees planted on both sides of the path seemed to have turned into man-eating ghosts, and they attacked him with their teeth and claws, and the chill rose one after another, and Doctor Qin walked back quickly.
