Within a few days, the East Palace sent someone to the palace to pick up Mei Xue, led by the crown princess Xie Danqin's mother.

Mama Xie is also in her forties, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are already weathered. Although the words were polite and brought rich gifts, the arrogance of the wealthy servants of the great clan was still faintly revealed.

For example, seeing Ping'an holding Mei Xue's neck and refusing to let go, Mama Xie was a little impatient.

The Xie clan in Jiangnan, both financially and in terms of leadership among the scholars, has been unshakable for hundreds of years.

In comparison, the Empress Dowager Jing'an's maiden family, the Meng family, which has produced several queens, is much more low-key, and even explicitly ordered that the children of the clan are not allowed to enter the court as officials.

Mei Xue glanced at Mama Xie, and she could probably imagine how arrogant Concubine Xie was, King Lu's biological mother.

But the crown princess Xie Danqin is different, at least on the surface, she is a gentle and demure Jiangnan native.

She actually went to the gate of the palace to greet Mei Xue in person with a big belly, shook Mei Xue's hand cordially, and said with a smile:

"Miss Mei, this palace knows that you are a busy person, but your medical skills are good, only by inviting you to sit in charge, this palace can give birth with peace of mind."

Mei Xue politely saluted Xie Danqin and said:

"Niangniang is polite, Weichen is a imperial doctor, and it is also within his duty to serve Niangniang."

The alienation between Mei Xue's words and demeanor made Mama Xie frown slightly, but the crown princess seemed to be unaware, and took Mei Xue's hand and walked inside.

is cordial, as if the two are close sisters.

When the two sat down and the palace maid served tea, Xie Danqin looked at Mei Xue and said apologetically:

"That girl from the Zhao family is really not what she looks like. Just because her mother had come to read to the palace a few times, she publicized it outside, and I heard that it also made Miss Mei angry.

The palace had already called her mother into the palace two days ago to reprimand her, and asked Miss Mei to dissipate her anger. ”

Mei Xue got up, saluted Xie Danqin again, and then lowered her eyes and said:

"I really can't be so polite to my mother, it's just a few quarrels, and Weichen is also at fault."

Seeing that Mei Xue was still quietly indifferent, Mama Xie, who was standing behind the crown princess, glanced at her coldly.

It was the first time she had seen such an ignorant woman, and she didn't look at who she was talking to.

The crown princess didn't care, her smile became more and more cordial, and she even invited Mei Xue to sit down and said:

"Your Highness is really right, Miss Mei is not only talented and open-minded, but also very human."

Mei Xue just smiled and shook her head, and when the crown princess asked her what she was going to do next, she immediately said that she wanted to see the princess's medical case, meet the princess who has been giving the princess a baby, and check the princess's pulse first.

Obviously, they were all thought about early in the morning.

Seeing that Mei Xue was so concerned, Mama Xie's face improved slightly.

But when Mei Xue checked Xie Danqin's pulse, her eyes kept staring at Xie Danqin, especially her stomach.

Mama Xie was unhappy again, and with a cold face, she took a thin blanket and put it directly on Xie Danqin's stomach.

Mei Xue turned her face to look at her, but didn't say anything.

After diagnosing the pulse, Mei Xue only said that everything was fine, and the princess only needed to recuperate with peace of mind.

When the palace people led Mei Xue to see the envoy of Guo, Xie Danqin sank her face, looked at Mama Xie coldly and said:

"Mama is so angry now, she dares to shake her face in front of Mei Xue.

Don't you know that in order to invite her to deliver me, His Royal Highness also went to the palace in person? ”

Mama Xie hurriedly knelt down, but whispered a little unconvinced:

"She's just a medical girl, and it's rude to dare to stare at her mother."

Xie Danqin laughed angrily, sent the rest of the palace people out, and then glared at Mama Xie and said:

"Mama is also an old man of the Xie family, and she has been in the palace with me for so many years, do you really think that Mei Xue is just a medical girl?

Do you know that just for Han Yu's little thing, His Royal Highness has to go to the Shu Palace's Mansion to apologize to her in person, or the father and the emperor have to explain it personally.

Not to mention in front of you and me, even in front of her father and grandmother and aunt, she is also different. ”

Seeing that Mama Xie actually showed a surprised expression, Xie Danqin was a little depressed, waved her hand and said:

"Looking at today's capital, I don't know who else dares to despise Mei Xue.

Since Mama can't stand being wronged like this, she will go back to Jiangling by herself, so as not to let the Xie family's efforts for so many years be wasted because of you. ”

Mama Xie panicked at this time, kowtowed again and again, crying and begging the princess not to drive her away, saying that she would not dare to be contemptuous of Mei Xue in the future.

Xie Danqin eased her face and said to Mama Xie:

"In this case, Mama should remember clearly, Mei Xue is not the first crown princess Yang, she can let you grind openly and secretly.

Think about it, from the time she came to the capital to the present, how many people have been folded in her hands?

Not to mention that Concubine Shu's mother and son and the original Yan Ge are old, even King Lu must have been calculated by her and the prince of Shu first.

It's not easy for you and me to get to where we are today, Mama had better be careful, if there is a next time, I will never leave you to stay in the capital. ”

Mei Xue carefully read the crown princess's medical case at the Guo Yuan envoy, and she didn't say anything special, but after returning to the East Palace, she went directly to the crown prince Li Jinyu.

Ambergris was lit in the study, and the crown prince Li Jinyu stood at the door to greet Mei Xue.

Mei Xue saluted Li Jinyu, and after sitting down, Mei Xue didn't drink tea, and said directly to Li Jinyu:

"Your Highness, the situation of the crown princess is a little bad, and Weichen must explain the situation to you in advance."

Li Jinyu's face sank suddenly, because there was the shadow of Li Mingze's birth, so since Xie Danqin was pregnant, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and several famous doctors in the Tai Hospital were waiting in the East Palace almost around the clock.

All the imperial doctors said that Xie Danqin's condition was very good, and there was nothing wrong with it, and Xie Danqin herself never said anything uncomfortable.

But Li Jinyu knew Mei Xue's ability, and although her mood was heavy, she still politely asked Mei Xue for the reason.

Mei Xue was silent, and then tried to tell Xie Danqin and the two children as calmly as possible.

Xie Danqin is in good physical condition, but one child has an umbilical cord around the neck.

Usually this can be done by rubbing the woman's belly to help the fetus return to its movement so that the umbilical cord can be bypassed the neck.

But Xie Danqin is pregnant with twins, and the narrow space in the uterine cavity makes this method useless at all.

Mei Xue's suggestion is to use oxytocic drugs to let the child who is not in a low position be born first, and then she will try her best to help the second child be born safely.

Xie Danqin has reached the labor period, that is, the two children are also developing well, so the risk of inducing labor at this time is clear compared with the risk of losing a child when she waits for natural birth.

Mei Xue said a little difficult, and after finishing, she looked at Li Jinyu and said:

"Your Highness, Wei Chen knows that this matter is difficult to choose, but fortunately, the umbilical cord is not very serious now, and there is still time to observe.

In addition, because of this special situation, the crown princess will definitely suffer more, and whether she will fall ill in the later stage, Weichen cannot give a conclusion in advance.

Therefore, I hope that His Highness will discuss with Niangniang in advance before making a decision.

Because the postpartum period is the most vulnerable stage of the pregnant woman's psychology, if you inform her in advance, let the mother have a psychological preparation, so that her psychological damage can be minimized. ”

As soon as Mei Xue finished speaking, Li Jinyu waved her hand and said in a deep voice:

"Mei Xue, Ming Ze was delivered by you, and it was also raised by you and Jinzhi yourself, and you know the sin of that child best.

Therefore, there is no need to think about anything, and there is no need to observe anymore, you can arrange it now, and it is best to induce labor for Xie today and tomorrow.

You remember, no matter what, nothing can happen to the child.

As for Xie's place, I will talk to her in advance. ”

Such a decision, coupled with the fact that Li Jinyu actually called Xie Danqin "Xie" one by one. After listening to Mei Xue, she already clearly knew Li Jinyu's attitude.

Smiling coldly in her heart, Mei Xue nodded and left the study.

After all, I don't love it, so I only care about the safety of those two children.

The child born to a woman he doesn't love is at best just a bargaining chip to help him stabilize his position.
