At this time.

The emperor was in the main hall, feasting and drinking with hundreds of officials and magnates and concubines.

The miracle doctor Sima Han arrived belatedly with an old man with half-gray hair.

As soon as the two arrived, the emperor immediately ordered someone to give them a seat.

The courtiers looked at each other and whispered—

"This is the junior brother of the divine doctor, right?"

"It's him, the Lang Zhong who is known as the ghost doctor on the rivers and lakes, Mr. Xiangyou."

"I heard that he came and went without a trace, and he was good at treating women, and he couldn't ask for any money, but today I am fortunate to see him become the emperor's guest."

"You probably don't know, thanks to Prime Minister Xie's relationship, we can meet him."

At this moment, the emperor said: "I have invited Sima Han and Xiangyou, two old gentlemen, to diagnose and treat the pulse of the concubine and the female relatives of Aiqing's family. ”

After he finished speaking, the forbidden army stepped forward with screens one by one, divided into several small rooms.

After a while, the divine doctor and the ghost doctor will diagnose and treat the pulse of the concubine and the female dependents inside, which is regarded as the emperor's permission.

The ministers were full of emotion and shouted the emperor's grace.

Some people even stood up and asked worriedly: "Can the minister carry his eighty-year-old mother to the family?" Recently, she has been suffering from pain in her legs and feet, but she has never been able to find the cause. ”

The emperor laughed: "Naturally, take advantage of today, quickly bring people into the palace." ”

Everyone stood up in a hurry, and some ministers ran outside the palace without bringing their families, and asked the servants to pick up their wives and daughters.

Only Princess Shu sat in her position suspiciously, looking in the direction of the ghost doctor.

Mr. Xiangyou?

She remembered that before her husband went out today, he told her that what he wanted to see was Xiangyou.

Now that Xiangyou has come to the palace for a banquet, what about her husband Shu Wangren?

The ladies lined up in the cubicles for consultations.

Princess Shu thought about it, then she also got up and went over, wanting to ask Xiangyou if she could still be pregnant with such a pulse.

I finally waited for her to get in line.

As soon as Princess Shu went in and sat down, she saw the ghost doctor pursing her lips, and her gray beard was slightly upturned.

His eyes were sharp and his spirit was strong, and compared to the divine doctor Sima Han, he seemed a little unsmiling.

He asked, "What disease does Madame want to cure?" ”

Princess Shu smiled faintly: "My husband only met you today, I just want to ask, you see my age, is it still possible...... Is it? ”

She was a little embarrassed.

The ghost doctor furrowed his brow, looked her up and down, and finally looked at her hair for a moment.

"Madame has thick hair and looks like she has enough blood and qi and does not need healing."

Princess Shu was stunned: "I'm not trying to cure my hair, old man, you must be misremembering." ”

The ghost doctor looked at her seriously: "Although the old man is old, his head is not confused, today the king of Shu came to find the old man, and he asked for the secret recipe for hair growth, and he did say that he asked for his wife." ”

With a "bang", it seemed that a heavy hammer had smashed on Princess Shu's heart.

She looked at the ghost doctor in surprise: "What I asked for is the secret recipe for giving birth!" ”

The husband said that he went to visit a famous doctor for her to fulfill her dream of having a child, why did he become a begging for hair growth?

The ghost doctor didn't speak for the time being, only calmly took his pulse.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand: "Madame can't be pregnant." ”

Princess Shu's face was pale: "Please also ask the ghost doctor to be clearer." ”

The ghost doctor didn't have a good face: "How clear do you want to say it?" Madame's own body, don't you know? Your menstrual affairs are unstable, although your qi and blood are not empty, but you have been taking the decoction for a long time, and your body is broken, and you can't get pregnant. ”

Avoiding the child decoction!?

Princess Shu almost knelt down from her chair.

She looked apprehensive: "I've never drunk it." ”

Suddenly, she thought that every time she and her husband had a Zhou Gong ceremony, the King of Shu would arrange for someone to bring a bowl of soup.

He said that it is to replenish qi and blood, and it can help Princess Shu regulate her body and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Princess Shu does not doubt that she has him, and in the past twenty years, she has drunk an unknown amount!

It turns out that it is actually a nodging soup?!

The ghost doctor was no longer patient, and urged her: "Madame, if there are some things that have not been sorted out, please go back, and don't delay the next personal consultation." ”

Jianghu Langzhong sneered at the powerful, but his attitude towards Princess Shu can be said to be a little disgusted.

The princess of Shu stood up and walked out a little dejectedly.

Suddenly, she realized something, turned around and asked: "Old Mr. Ghost Doctor, you and I have never known each other, I asked myself since I just came in, I have never offended you anything, why do you always treat me coldly?" ”

I thought that the ghost doctor would say something to explain, but unexpectedly, he snorted coldly.

"The King of Shu has a noble status, and he naturally doesn't need to pay attention to grass people like Lao Yu, he obviously came to ask for medicine and consultation, but after asking, he threatened the grass people not to tell him about what he had been here, otherwise, let Lao Yu walk and see, with such an attitude, what is the need for Lao Yu to give you a good face?"

"After learning that Mrs. is the princess of Shu, the old man still shows you the pulse of the doctor, it is out of the virtue of a doctor, but it does not mean that he will always endure you, and please ask Mrs. to bring a message to the prince, the old man is just a wild crane in the rivers and lakes, and he treats diseases according to his conscience, if he is so afraid of being known by outsiders, he can not use it!"

Princess Shu walked out of the compartment in an almost ghost-like state.

Behind her was Mrs. Ye, the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Ye.

Seeing Princess Shu's pale face and panicked expression, she couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked with concern: "Is the princess uncomfortable?" ”

Mrs. Ye looked around: "Why don't you see His Royal Highness the King of Shu, someone is coming, quickly help the princess to sit over there and rest." ”

Hearing the name of the King of Shu, Princess Shu felt cold for the first time and broke out in a cold sweat.

She shook her head: "No, it's okay, it's just that the ghost doctor is straightforward, I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant." ”

Mrs. Ye was stunned for a moment and understood.

The matter of Princess Shu's request for a son is no longer a secret in the capital.

is also a woman, Mrs. Ye sighed with emotion: "Princess, forgive the courtiers for saying a word that is indecent, now I want a child, and then raise her, I am afraid of hard work, and when you have gray hair, she will be in her youth, why bother?" It's a good thing to think about the best things. ”

After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, the voice of the old ghost doctor came from the compartment: "Next!" What about people! ”

Mrs. Ye could only say goodbye to Princess Shu first.

Princess Shu sat on a chair beside her in a state of confusion to rest.

The husband asked the ghost doctor for the secret recipe for hair growth, who needs this the most?

Her first reaction was to think of Concubine Qi.

I couldn't help but think of the jade plate she hung around her neck on the day of Concubine Qi's birthday banquet!

Since he is the mother of the Nine Emperor Sons, how could he choose such a pattern?

Thinking of the recent look, when Shen Ningning heard her talk about her husband, she wanted to talk and stopped.

Princess Shu only felt cold.

If it is true that the King of Shu likes Concubine Qi, it is also true that he took the opportunity to feed her the soup for twenty years.

Well, this is enough to show that the person next to her never thought of asking her to give birth to his child!

But why? They are already married, even if he has someone else in his heart, he shouldn't stop her from giving birth to a serious concubine of the palace!

Unless......

He already has children.

Princess Shu realized this possibility, and her face turned pale, like falling into an ice cellar.

Thinking back to the smile of the King of Shu when he faced her, he only felt gloomy and full of malice.

Princess Shu was very frightened, and felt the ghosts around her.

Just then, a hand touched her shoulder.

Princess Shu screamed and jumped up violently. (End of chapter)
