The maid's crying voice echoed in the pavilion, and Meng Xiyan's face changed.

Lu Tong glanced at the maid on the ground in surprise.

No wonder there is no princess in charge of today's palace feast, it turns out that the princess of the county is pregnant with Liujia and is inconvenient to attend.

However, how could a good one suddenly move the tire gas?

In front of all the ladies and dependents, Meng Xiyan scolded in a low voice: "How did the subordinates take care of the princess?" How do I get a tire gas for no reason? Did you go to the doctor? ”

The maid sobbed and replied: "I heard the people in the princess's courtyard say that the morning was fine, just now, the princess said that there was some discomfort in her stomach, I thought it was nausea, but who knew that after a while, the pain became more and more serious." The people in the courtyard panicked. ”

The maid paused before continuing to speak: "I have already taken the post to ask the medical officer, but now the princess is in severe pain, and it will take a while for the medical officer to come over...... Madame, go and see the princess first! ”

Today, the emperor gave a banquet, and the king of Wenjun also entered the palace, Pei Yunshu had an accident, and the only person in charge of the entire county palace was the side concubine Meng Xiyan.

Meng Xi's face was embarrassed, and he looked at the ladies in the pavilion: "I'm really ashamed, everyone, the princess suddenly fell ill, I have to rush to take a look." ”

It is about human life, naturally there is no reason to continue the feast, and the female relatives present are not people who are messing around, and they all reasoned that it is important for Meng Xiyan to hurry up and see Pei Yunshu.

A round-faced lady caught a glimpse of Lu Tong standing beside Mrs. Dong, and suddenly had an idea, and shouted, "Isn't this Dr. Lu well-versed in medical science?" Now that the medical officer has not arrived, it is better to let Dr. Lu go and take a look at the princess first, so as not to make a mistake. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Dong "chuckled" in her heart, and secretly said that it was not good.

She has seen a lot of these twists and turns in the high-ranking family over the years. When encountering this kind of thing, it is best to protect yourself wisely, and foolishly get involved in it, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

These ladies don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, if they really affect Lu Tong in the end, they are just a civilian medical woman who is a medical officer, and it is not worth taking to heart.

But how did they know the relationship between Lu Tong and Pei Yunyi?

On the one hand, she is Pei Yunyao's own sister, and on the other hand, she is Pei Yunyao's little lover, if she is not careful, something goes wrong, what if Pei Yunyao calculates this account on her head? You must know that at the beginning, she pulled Lu Tong to this pavilion.

Mrs. Dong didn't want Lu Tong to wade into this troubled water in a daze, so as not to implicate herself, but when the ladies around heard that someone was starting, maybe they didn't know Lu Tong's identity ignorant and fearless, or maybe they were in a hurry to offer courtesy to the county king's mansion, and they were enthusiastic about it.

"Yes, Dr. Lu is also a doctor, and he knows some medical science, so it's better to let Dr. Lu take a look."

"Not only can I make an elixir that other medical halls can't make, Doctor Lu's medical skills are beyond doubt, and now that the situation is critical, Doctor Lu may be able to help a little." This is the lady of the Imperial History Mansion speaking.

Mrs. Dong listened to the crowd around her, and she was so angry that her brain hurt, but these people did not hesitate to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, didn't they just rely on the knife to fall on themselves.

You must know that Pei Yunshu didn't have an accident, it's okay, if there are three long and two short, it's no wonder that Lu Tong is not angry!

In the midst of the noise, Meng Xiyan in the middle of the pavilion raised his eyes and looked at Lu Tong, his tone was a little unclear.

"You're a doctor?"

Lu Tong lowered his head: "Mrs. Hui, yes." ”

Meng Xiyan looked at her, there seemed to be a cold glow in her eyes, and after a while, she said: "That's great, the medical officer hasn't arrived yet, the princess is in critical condition, since you know medical skills, come with me to take a look." ”

Mrs. Dong on her side wanted to speak for her, but Lu Tong grabbed the corner of her sleeve and shook her head invisibly.

I'm afraid she won't be able to leave if she wants to.

Not to mention the reason for the sudden abdominal pain of the princess of Wenjun, now in front of everyone's eyes, not long ago, Mrs. Dong boasted in front of these ladies that she had excellent medical skills, and if she refused now, once her medical skills were questioned, it would only be harmful to make friends with these nobles in the future, and approaching the Taishi Mansion would only be harmful.

Lu Tong looked at Meng Xiyan and said softly, "Yes, madam." ”

……

Meng Xiyan took Lu Tong and Yinzheng to the courtyard of the princess of the county, and refused to go any further.

This courtyard is in the innermost corner of the Wenjun Palace, which is much quieter and colder than Xunfangyuan, and there is no one in the courtyard.

Meng Xiyan stood still in front of the door, a pair of willow eyebrows frowned slightly, "The princess has never liked me to enter her courtyard. Now the princess is uncomfortable, and it will not be good if she sees me, if she is even more uncomfortable. ”

She looked at Lu Tong, and her smile was perfunctory and soft, "Besides, I'm timid, and I can't see those scenes." Doctor Lu, hurry up and go in. ”

Lu Tong just couldn't see her prevarication, didn't say anything, walked to the door with Yinzheng and knocked lightly.

A vigilant voice came from behind the door: "Who?" ”

The maid beside Meng Xiyan stepped forward and said through the door: "It's the doctor from the West Street Medical Center, who is delivering medicine in our house today." The medical officer and Wen Po had not yet arrived, and the lady specially asked Dr. Lu to come over to see the princess. ”

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the room.

"Let her in."

The door squeaked-" and opened halfway, and Lu Tong and Yinzheng walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a pungent smell.

There was a tall maid standing at the door, looking at Lu Tong's eyes full of defense, hesitated for a moment, closed the door, turned to her and said, "Follow me." ”

Yinzheng stayed at the door, and Lu Tong walked in with the other party.

The bedroom is very spacious, and a vase full of golden cinnamon is placed on the low table in the front room, and a guqin is placed next to it, covered with light green tulle. Behind the bookshelf in the room, hang a long painting of flowers, birds, landscapes, and landscapes, and there is a complete set of azure old kiln tea sets on the table, and the utensils are not numerous, and they look clean and elegant at a glance.

The maidservant led Lu Tong to the couch in the inner room, and there was another girl in Tsing Yi standing in front of the couch, seeing Lu Tong coming, she stretched out her hand to open the hanging moonlight cloud gauze tent, and said hurriedly: "Doctor, come and see." ”

Lu Tong walked to the bed.

On the carved wooden chaise longue bed, a young woman with a pale face lay down, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, soaking the gauze on the pillow.

Her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, six or seven points similar to Pei Yunyao, but her facial features are softer than his.

Lu Tong's heart moved slightly.

It turned out that this was Princess Wenjun, the eldest daughter of Duke Zhaoning, Pei Yunshu.

Hearing the movement, Pei Yunshu opened her sweaty eyes and looked at Lu Tong, her tone was very weak.

"Doctor, I—I'm better......"

Lu Tong frowned, there was obviously so much fresh cinnamon in this room, but there was still such a thick bloody aura, she stretched out her hand and lifted the light blue smoke forging double silk thin quilt on the woman's body, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

Under the woman, a small patch of bright red spread out on the blanket, like a flower dyed with red ink.

"Why is it bleeding?"

The maid in Tsing Yi hurriedly said: "Doctor, my wife was fine this morning, but not long ago, I suddenly felt discomfort in my abdomen, and then I bled some blood. Now the bleeding has stopped, and I have drunk the fetal pills, and the wife's abdominal pain has eased a little, and she looks like there is nothing serious. ”

Bloodied......

Lu Tong asked, "Have you ever bumped into it?" Or did someone irritate her? ”

The maid shook her head.

Lu Tong frowned slightly.

There was no sign of fetal gas, there was bleeding, although there were signs of abdominal pain but it had stopped, and from this point of view, the situation did not seem to be as dangerous as it had just been said.

When she was in southern Jiangsu, she had seen Wen Po deliver babies, but it was a natural delivery at that time, and now it is nearly two months before Princess Wenjun gives birth, and it is not the time.

Moreover, although the princess of Wenjun had an ugly face, there was no sign of a miscarriage. According to the medical book, the fetus should be given priority.

The tall maid stood behind Lu Tong, staring closely at her every move, and her tone also had a dark warning.

"The house has taken the post to invite the medical officer of the medical officer's hospital, and the Wen Po I know is also on the way to come, the princess's jade body is precious, and the doctor must remember to move slowly."

It's unbelievable to her.

Lu Tong didn't say anything, and reached out to take the pulse of Princess Wenjun.

Pei Yunshu's pulse was stable, and it seemed that the fetal movement just now had no effect on her. The two maids were carefully changing into a clean futon for her, Pei Yunshu's expression was still weak, but she was calmer than when she first came in and saw it.

The maid in Tsing Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu is the fetal medicine has worked, is the princess still in pain now?" ”

Pei Yunshu said softly: "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Lu Tong was thoughtful.

The person who came here just said that it was so critical, both red and abdominal pain, but she had calmed down without doing anything, and her pulse had stabilized. It seems that she can do nothing and just wait for the medical officer of the medical officer to arrive, and then she can retire.

Of course, this is also the best for her, but Lu Tong still doesn't understand something, for no reason, how can she suddenly have abdominal pain and redness?

The maid brought a soft cushion and leaned behind Pei Yunshu, Pei Yunshu looked at Lu Tong, her voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, "Doctor, the child in my womb ......"

"It's okay, the princess doesn't have to worry." Lu Tong took the handkerchief handed by the maid, wiped the sweat from her neck for her, and suddenly moved.

Pei Yunshu's shoulders and neck looked a little swollen.

If she was born plumper, this swelling would be easy to ignore, but Pei Yunshu was born slender, and even if she was pregnant, she looked a little thin. Her neck was thin and long, so the swelling was easily caught by Lu Tong.

She reached out and pressed lightly on the lump.

Pei Yunshu screamed "ouch".

"What do you do?" The tall maid slapped Lu Tong's hand away with one slap and glared at her angrily.

"Qiongying, don't do this." Pei Yunshu scolded lightly, looked at Lu Tong, and touched the back of her neck a little embarrassed, "Doctor, my maid is in a hurry, don't you mind." ”

Lu Tong shook his head, not taking Qiong Ying's words to heart, and only touched the slightly bulging lump with his fingertips, "Didn't the princess find that she was swollen here?" ”

"Here?" Pei Yunshu touched Lu Tong's fingertips, a little hesitant: "This has been there before, and I also asked the medical officer to take a look, the medical officer said that in the late stage of pregnancy, swelling on the body is a common thing, so I don't need to care." Doctor, what's wrong? ”

In the later stages of pregnancy, the mother does have body edema, and the medical officers of the medical hospital did not find anything wrong, so there should be no problem.

But for some reason, there was a subtle strangeness in Lu Tong's heart, as if something had been ignored by her.

Pei Yunshu leaned on the cushion, drank a few sips of the hot soup that Qiong Ying fed to her lips, her face was a little ruddy, and she could even barely squeeze out a smile at Lu Tong, as if she wanted to ease the solemn atmosphere in this room, and took the initiative to speak to Lu Tong.

"Not only is it swollen, but in the third trimester of pregnancy, I often feel hot all over my body, sweating from time to time, and I don't want to wear more clothes even though it's autumn. The doctor told me not to catch a cold, but I didn't have time to get hot, and my complexion was much darker......"

This is indeed what happens during pregnancy.

"In the first half of the most uncomfortable month, I also had wind rash and rash in my lower abdomen, which was surprisingly itchy, and I didn't dare to scratch it. The medical officer grabbed some herbs and asked me to boil them and scrub them, and it took me half a month to subside......"

Pei Yunshu said for a while, but she didn't see Lu Tong answer, so she couldn't help but look at her worriedly.

"Doctor?"

Lu Tong's hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly.

Swelling of the back of the neck, fever and sweating, darkening of the skin, abdominal wheezing, abdominal pain and bleeding.

Looking at each of them, it is true that they may occur during pregnancy, but several of them have the same symptoms......

Without saying a word, Huo Di got up, walked quickly to the table amid the puzzled eyes of everyone, opened the medical box, and pulled out the flannel containing the golden needle from it.

Before a few people could react, she had already walked quickly to Pei Yunshu, grabbed her hand and stabbed it in!

This action was too fast, Pei Yunshu subconsciously let out an "ah".

Qiong Ying said angrily: "Stop! A palm pushed her away.

Lu Tong was pushed hard, and almost knocked down the cabinet on the side, and the pen holder on the cabinet "crackled" and fell to the ground, alarming the people outside.

Silver Kite ran in from outside, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

Lu Tong didn't speak, staring at Pei Yunshu's hand.

Qiong Ying followed her line of sight, and her gaze suddenly shook.

Between the wrists that were as white as jade, where the golden needles pierced, a snaking blood mark quickly appeared.

It's not right to say that it is a blood stain, it is clearly a long black purple mark, like a centipede poisonous insect that has been lurking in the dark, and suddenly reveals its hideous true face.

Pei Yunshu lowered her head, looked at the blood marks on her wrist in shock, and spoke in a trembling voice.

“…… What is it? ”

……

Outside the courtyard, in the small pavilion by the pool, Meng Xiyan sat reclining against the vermilion railing, casually throwing fish food into the pool.

The Mid-Autumn Festival feast has been dispersed, and the housewife in the house has an accident, if she, who is a side concubine, can continue to preside over the banquet as if nothing happened, there will be rumors that there is no one in her eyes in the capital tomorrow.

Some things are the same thing in private, and in front of outsiders, they still have to be pretended.

The servant beside her bent down and whispered in her ear, "Madam, they are still in the princess's house. ”

Meng Xiyan smiled faintly: "Oh? ”

She hooked her lips: "It seems that this new doctor really has a bit of guts." ”

Pei Yunshu suddenly had a seizure today, and she was going to invite the medical officer and Wen Po to come and see her, but who knew that there happened to be a doctor in the house who sent medicine. Pei Yunshu urgently needed someone to go over and take a look, and the surrounding officials and ladies took advantage of the situation to promote her, so she pushed the boat down the river and asked that Lu Tong to take a look at Pei Yunshu, so that she could show that she was sincerely thinking about the princess.

The maid said: "Madam, after all, Doctor Lu is an outsider, would it be inappropriate to go in to see the princess so rashly?" ”

"Wrong? What's wrong? Meng Xiyan casually sprinkled a few grains of fish food, and looked at the swimming fish floating from the water to compete for food.

"It's outsiders who are good, it's outsiders, and it's better that it has nothing to do with us."

Coincidentally, Pei Yunshu did not develop symptoms early or late, but he had symptoms today. King Wenjun entered the palace early in the morning, and only she, the side concubine, was present in the palace. If Pei Yunshu really made a mistake today, although there is no evidence, others will inevitably make irresponsible remarks, and they will blame her, the side concubine, for refusing to pay attention.

However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, most of the medical officers of the medical hospital are on vacation, and it will take some time to come temporarily. As for Wen Po, Pei Yunshu was cautious, and chose the trustworthy Wen Po to wait for the day two months later to deliver her baby, and if she wants to find someone now, I am afraid that it will not be possible to find it immediately.

In this way, the doctor surnamed Lu came just right.

is not only because of the coincidence of delivering medicine, but also the doctor who is familiar with the lady of the Taifu Siqing Mansion, no matter what, it has nothing to do with her, the side concubine, and it can't be counted on her head.

The maid on his side was still a little worried: "Will the doctor see that something is wrong......?"

Meng Xiyan glared at her coldly, and the maid shivered, and hurriedly said, "The slave and maid are talking nonsense, don't take it to heart, madam." ”

Meng Xiyan snorted and lowered her head to play with the fish food in the wooden bowl. Fish food trickled down her kedan-coated fingertips like black pearls.

"The medicine in the palace, the medical officers of the medical officer hospital can't see it, and the few doctors invited by Pei Yunshu haven't found any clues so far, and she can see what a doctor sitting in a broken medical hall."

She raised her chin slightly, and the ruby step between her temples was as gorgeous as blood, lining the woman's face like fat jade, her red lips were full, but the words she spit out were gloomy and cold.

"It's not good for her, Pei Yunshu doesn't have a problem today, and if there is a problem, she can't get out of it, maybe she will have to be buried together."

"However, it should also be an honor for someone of her status to be buried for the little prince of Wenjun Palace."

After speaking, as if he thought it was funny, Meng Xiyan covered his mouth and chuckled.

The maid didn't dare to make a sound.

Meng Xiyan laughed for a while, then slowly put away the smile on his face, and threw a handful of bait into the pond again.

Schools of fish scrambled to roam up the surface, scrambling for the bait that had slipped from her fingertips. Meng Xiyan watched with interest, and the two coral earrings in her ears were so red that they were dripping blood.

As the concubine of the Shaofu Eunuch's Mansion, her appearance and talent are not as good as Pei Yunshu since she was a child, just because Pei Yunshu has a father of Zhaoning Gong, and the two of them entered the mansion together, Pei Yunshu is the main concubine, and she can only be a side concubine.

Side concubine side concubine, isn't that still a concubine?

Pei Yunshu has a cold and high personality, and she doesn't know how to please petty, and she was rejected by King Wenjun soon after passing the door. And as a side concubine, she is favored by King Wenjun, and her status in this palace is not much lower than Pei Yunshu.

Meng Xiyan was originally very satisfied with everything now, until Pei Yunshu became pregnant.

Pei Yunshu is pregnant, if she gives birth to a son, she will be the son of Wenjun Wangfu in the future. The position of the king of the county will still fall on Pei Yunshu's son. And she was born to Meng Xiyan, and she will be branded as a "concubine" forever.

Therefore, Pei Yunshu's heirs in the womb are destined not to stay.

Meng Xiyan flicked her fingertips, the last fish food fell, she lowered her head, and a beautiful face was reflected on the surface of the pool.

She watched and laughed slowly.
