The fried brown decoction is served in a white porcelain bowl and soaked in cold water, emitting only a slight heat.

Pei Yunshu sat at the head of the bed, looking at the bulging belly for a long time, and finally made up her mind to reach out and pick up the medicine bowl on the silver plate.

Qiong Ying couldn't help but stop, "Princess, why don't you think about it again?" ”

"Why don't you change a few more medical officers to take a look, in case there is a way to not need to induce labor." Fangzi whispered comfort beside her.

Lu Tong sat calmly at the table, as if he hadn't heard the conversation in the room.

Pei Yunshu has a noble identity, and she is the blood of the county king in her belly, and she is just a doctor in an ordinary medical hall, before this, she and Pei Yunshu have never even met, and it is really difficult for Pei Yunshu to put her life and her life in the womb into the hands of a stranger who has never met before.

Lu Tong lowered his eyes and thought like this, but heard Pei Yunshu say softly: "I believe in Doctor Lu." ”

The tone was extraordinarily determined.

Lu Tong was stunned, and subconsciously raised his head, and saw the woman with her back against the cushion behind her, looking at her with a smile.

"I believe in Dr. Lu." Pei Yunshu repeated again, "In the past, there were a lot of medical officers from those medical hospitals, but none of them found that something was wrong. They can't even find the traces of my poisoning, so how can they expect them to be able to detoxify? ”

"But," Fang Zi choked, "you're too risky......"

It's okay if you succeed, but once you fail, Pei Yunshu will only take all the blame on herself. The price of making decisions alone is that she has to bear the unforeseen consequences alone.

Pei Yunshu's tone was light, "I'm adventurous, but why isn't Doctor Lu?" Do you think that if Dr. Lu is willing to induce labor for me, there is no embarrassment? ”

Fangzi and Qiongying were dumbfounded.

This is a fact, Lu Tong induced labor for Pei Yunshu, if something happened, naturally he couldn't get out of it. Even if she succeeds and detoxifies the little master, King Wenjun, who knows the truth, may not thank her. King Wenjun is a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, he is selfish and ruthless, and he may even beat him up and give Lu Tong the charge of trying to murder the heir of the palace.

Inducing labor for Pei Yunshu is not a cost-effective deal for Lu Tong.

Thinking of this, the two maidservants looked at Lu Tong's eyes and the defense faded a little.

Pei Yunshu didn't say more, raised his hand to pick up the medicine bowl on the silver plate, and drank it in one gulp.

At the end, he put the empty bowl on the plate and looked at Lu Tong with a smile: "After that, it's all up to Dr. Lu." ”

Lu Tong got up, walked to the chair in front of the couch and sat down, Yinzheng handed over the medical box, and went out of the house to prepare hot water. Oxytocic medicine will have a seizure for a while after drinking it the room is quiet xu is to break this embarrassment or to relieve the tension in his heart pei yunshu took the initiative to talk to lu tong.

She asked Lu Tong: "Dr. Lu's medical skills are far superior to those of the medical officer's hospital, I don't know who to study?" ”

Lu Tong took out the gold needle on the flannel cloth and wiped it carefully, and replied: "It's just an unknown mountain doctor." ”

Pei Yunshu nodded, hearing that Lu Tong was reluctant to say this, so he changed his words: "Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Dr. Lu induced labor for me and may delay the reunion with my family, do you want me to let someone pass a message to the family on behalf of Dr. Lu to save the family from worrying?" ”

Lu Tong wiped the golden needle for a moment.

"No," she said. My family is gone. ”

Pei Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then looked at her apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I ......"

"Nothing." Lu Tong's face was calm, "That was before, the princess doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

The room was quiet again.

After a while, Pei Yunshu lowered her head, looked at her bulging abdomen and asked softly, "Doctor Lu, if the labor is induced, will the child be saved?" ”

The oxytocic drugs have all been taken, Pei Yunshu only remembered to ask this now, and Lu Tong didn't know whether to say whether this princess of the county was naïve or big-hearted. She didn't want to deceive Pei Yunshu, so she said lightly: "The purpose of inducing labor is to let the fetus strip it out when the toxicity is not fully implanted, and if it continues to stay in the princess's womb, the toxicity will become deeper and deeper." ”

"A woman's birth is half a foot into the ghost gate, I can't guarantee that I can remove the toxicity for the fetus, or even guarantee that the princess is safe, I can only work hard to snatch a glimmer of life for the fetus in the princess's womb."

She looked up: "Does the princess understand?" ”

This is said very bluntly, without any comfort. When Pei Yunshu heard this, her face became more and more pale.

Qiong Ying couldn't help frowning: "How can Doctor Lu say that?" ”

In order to make the patient happy and dispel worries, those medical officers always changed their ways to say some comforting words, lest Pei Yunshu be frightened and moved, as if the doctor in front of him still thought that the princess was not nervous enough.

"I am a doctor who treats the princess, not a servant who makes the princess happy."

Lu Tong replied indifferently, "What's more, I think that letting the princess know the current real situation will help the next production." ”

Qiongying: "You ......"

Pei Yunshu stopped Qiong Ying's next words and smiled reluctantly: "Doctor Lu is right, even if there is no poisoning, no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents. She quietly grabbed the futon under her and tried her best to pretend to be relaxed, "I, Pei Yunshu, have never done a bad thing in my life, I believe that God will not treat me mean, and today will be smooth." ”

This was originally Pei Yunshu's words to comfort herself, but it was a little harsh in Lu Tong's ears.

If you haven't done a bad thing in your life, won't God be mean to others?

She has a Lu family, her parents are loyal and upright, her sister is kind, and her brother is righteous, but in the end, she did not end up with a family destroyed.

And those who do a lot of evil, but in this imperial city, the spring breeze is proud, soaring, and they are people who are feared by others.

Good is rewarded with good and evil is nothing but the self-consolation of the loser against the unjust fate in vain, and it is a fallacy to pin all hopes on the ethereal "God" and "retribution", it is better to rely on yourself.

The atmosphere in the room gradually froze, and in this silence, Pei Yunshu's clothes that she had just changed were gradually soaked with sweat again, she frowned, and tried her best to endure and stroke her abdomen with some uneasiness: "Doctor Lu, I, I seem to be a little uncomfortable." ”

Lu Tong's expression moved.

The oxytocic drug took effect.

She stood up and went to serve the silver kite ready for hot water. Fangzi and Qiong Ying's bodies were shocked, and they both looked at her a little helplessly.

Seeing this, Pei Yunshu smiled calmly: "Doctor Lu, you just have to let it go, even if it is ...... Even if something goes wrong, I will keep you and prove that it is all about you, it is my own idea. ”

At this time, the princess of the county was still thinking about the safety of others, Lu Tong saw that her sweaty hands, the bedding under her body had been crumpled, and in her beautiful eyes, she tried her best to hide the panic and helplessness.

Pei Yunshu was afraid, no matter how calm and calm she behaved, she was still scared in her heart.

The futon under him was wet, and it was probably because of "children's sorrow", the effect of the induced labor drug was onset faster than usual, and the blood on Pei Yunshu's face faded, and he gradually let out a painful groan. The freshly picked cinnamon fragrance in the house can no longer hide the other sticky smells.

In the late autumn afternoon, there is no fresh breeze in the closed door, like a mud pool that cannot flow, trapping everyone together.

"Don't be afraid." After hesitating, Lu Tong held the hand of the woman on the couch.

Pei Yunshu was stunned.

After a pause, she leaned over Pei Yunshu's ear, her tone still calm.

"I know Pei Yunyao."

For a moment, Pei Yunshu was stunned.

Hot tears suddenly welled up in Pei Yunshu's eyes, and she didn't know where the strength came from, she grabbed Lu Tong's hand and asked eagerly, "Ah Xuan?" Are you Ah Ya's person? ”

Fang Zi and Qiong Ying also looked at Lu Tong in amazement. After all, in the memories of the two of them, Pei Yunyao did not mention that such a medical woman had been arranged.

Pei Yunshu seemed to have suddenly gained a solid support in the desperate and boundless fate, and only after sweeping his eyes did he endure the panic and become trusting and relieved. She gasped, sweat running across her cheeks, and looked at Lu Tong and smiled.

"Doctor Lu, it turns out that you are Ah Yi's person. It's great," she suppressed her pain, tears in her eyes, "I believe in you, really." ”

Obviously, her body trembled with fear just now, but as soon as she heard Pei Yunyi's name, she was immediately injected with boundless power.

Lu Tong was silent, people can only rely on themselves in a desperate situation, but in addition to relying on themselves, the thoughts of relatives can always reduce the pain of that process.

The onset of the drug became more and more violent, and Pei Yunshu gradually couldn't suppress her painful moans, and her breath was short. Lu Tong talked to her while asking Fangzi to feed her some sweet soup.

If the time is too long, Pei Yunshu will have no strength.

Just when the atmosphere in the house was tense, there was a sudden violent knock on the door outside, accompanied by a loud reprimand from the mother-in-law: "Princess, the princess opens the door, there are thieves in the house, and someone poisons the heirs of the palace!" ”

Lu Tong's expression changed suddenly.

Fangzi and Qiongying also looked up sharply.

The next moment, the sound of the knock on the door sped up again, and Meng Xiyan's voice sounded from outside the door: "Why hasn't the princess been silent?" It can't be an accident, right? ”

Pei Yunshu opened her sweaty eyes from the pain, gritted her teeth and said, "Oh no." Meng Xiyan was probably suspicious. ”

Outside the door, Meng Xiyan stood behind her mother-in-law, her face so gloomy that she could drip water.

Pei Yunshu drove away the medical officer who came to check the disease, leaving the doctor girl alone in the house, which always made her heart uneasy, so she called someone to go to the pharmacy where the maid next to the doctor grabbed the medicine, and asked the shopkeeper what they bought.

When the shopkeeper heard that the other party was from the county king's mansion, he was startled first, and without waiting for anyone to ask, he carefully recalled the prescription of the maid to grab the medicine.

"Angelica, citrus aurantium, Sichuan Qiong, motherwort, skullwood, ......" the shopkeeper was so shocked that he changed color, "This is the recipe for the blessing of the fetus, it is an oxytocic drug!" ”

Oxytocics!

Meng Xiyan's nails painted with Dankou almost wanted to be embedded in his palm.

No one will take oxytocic drugs for no reason, especially Pei Yunshu has more than a month to give birth. But now they are secretly taking oxytocic drugs, so there is only one possibility.

The medical girl named Lu Tong discovered the fact that Pei Yunshu was poisoned.

Meng Xiyan's body was tense, and her gaze looking at the door of the house could not hide the coldness.

Her cousin's words echoed in her ears again—

"The poisoned man had a stable womb in his womb, and when he was in October, he gave birth to a stillborn baby, but the mother was safe."

'Child's sorrow' is to have a silent effect in the mother's womb, and when it is full of October, the baby in the womb will no longer have life. But the cousin doesn't know whether the child who gave birth before the end of October can live. After all, this forbidden drug has been lost for many years, and the people who have used it in recent years have never been discovered.

If it's just this one thing, more importantly, Lu Tong has already discovered the truth of 'child's sorrow', once the truth of this matter is revealed, once the charge of poisoning the heirs of the royal palace is arranged on her, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Meng Xiyan bit her lip, and a trace of fear flashed in her heart.

Today, the king of Wenjun is in the Minglin Garden, and it is night when the emperor's banquet ends. Even if the news from the house is transmitted and rushes back, it will have to wait for a while. All the blame must be placed on the medicine girl before King Wenjun returns.

King Wenjun has always been obedient to her, as long as all the evidence is removed, between Pei Yunshu and her Meng Xiyan, King Wenjun always favors him for no reason.

Just get rid of all the witnesses. That doctor girl also deserves it, who told her to discover a secret that should not be discovered, and she also tried to help Pei Yunshu, but she couldn't distinguish the situation and looked for death by herself!

Meng Xi raised her head expressionlessly and beckoned to her mother-in-law behind her.

"The princess was kidnapped by gangsters, smash the door open for me!"

The mother-in-law of the family got the order, and rushed up, only to hear the sound of "bang", and the carved yellow wooden door was suddenly knocked open from the outside, and a group of mothers-in-law rushed in.

Inside the house, Lu Tong frowned.

The county king's mansion is really not peaceful, if it was just suspicion before, then Meng Xiyan's move to have no silver here at this moment can almost make Lu Tong sure in his heart that Pei Yunshu's 'little sorrow' is inseparable from this side concubine in the county king's mansion.

Fangzi and Qiong Ying stopped in front of Pei Yunshu, Pei Yunshu was already bleeding at the moment, and it was in pain that she could only raise her head slightly, and said angrily: "Meng Xiyan, what do you want to do!" ”

Meng Xiyan stood at the door, the door was knocked open, and a gap of light was thrown from behind her, but the woman fell into a deeper gloom, and even her delicate facial features were a little gloomy.

Her voice, however, was soft, with a particularly disobedient concern.

"Princess, just approaching the shopkeeper of the pharmacy on the side of the street, this maid next to Dr. Lu went to the pharmacy to grab the blessing drink for inducing labor, and the shopkeeper was worried that something was wrong, so he specially sent someone to inform him. When my sister learned about this, she immediately rushed over. ”

She looked at Lu Tong and said coldly: "You are so bold, you dare to murder the heir of the county king!" ”

"I didn't plot to kill the heirs of your mansion," Lu Tong didn't intend to bear Meng Xiyan's anger alone, "Oxytocic medicine is the princess's own idea. ”

Pei Yunshu was covered in sweat, holding her stomach, and glared at Meng Xiyan with Fangzi's support, "It's my idea." Meng Xiyan, the fetus in my womb is unstable and there are traces of poisoning, so please ask Dr. Lu to induce labor for me to save the baby, you get out-"

Meng Xiyan's eyes flashed, and then her eyes widened in surprise: "The princess is really good at laughing, the medical officer of the medical officer hospital came to the door every now and then, and never found out that the princess was poisoned, why did the medical woman of a small medical hall diagnose the princess's baby fetus as poisonous?" ”

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Tong, and her tone was solemn: "I think, it's this woman who is deceiving the public!" ”

The accusation without evidence, the obvious blame, if it weren't for the fact that this side concubine was too arrogant and stupid, then there was only one possibility, she planned to kill people.

For a dead person, there is naturally no room for it.

There was a groan in his ears, Lu Tong lowered his eyes, and the wetness under Pei Yunshu's body became bigger and bigger, and only then did Meng Xiyan lead someone to slam the door in, teaching Pei Yunshu to become more and more nervous, he had broken blood, and the situation would only become more and more critical.

She's going to pick the time.

Meng Xiyan also saw the pain in Pei Yunshu's expression, and couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.

A woman's birth is a life of nine deaths, and today Lu Tong is sure to die, but if Pei Yunshu is frightened, one corpse and two lives, isn't it just what she wants? As for the crime......

She turned her eyes to the two maids who were protecting Pei Yunshu in front of the couch, these two maids didn't know where Pei Yunshu found them, and they were so loyal to her that Meng Xiyan couldn't buy them three times, since this was the case...... Let these two become scapegoats, and it will be considered that the fate of their master and servant is complete.

Meng Xiyan pointed at Lu Tong: "Arrest this woman for me!" ”

Pei Yunshu was shocked inexplicably: "Meng Xiyan, you are bold!" ”

Meng Xiyan frowned: "The princess was bewitched by this woman, and she is delirious at the moment, and there are these two people-" She looked at Fangzi and Qiong Ying, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, "As the princess's personal maid, she colluded with outsiders to conspire to kill the princess, arrest them together, and wait for the king of the county to come back to decide!" ”

The family members behind him were waiting for her words, and when they heard the words, they rushed in and were about to grab Lu Tong.

Seeing this, Qiong Ying and Fang Zi kicked away a mother-in-law in front of them, pulled out the dagger on their waists, and blocked in front of Pei Yunshu's couch.

There is actually martial arts?

Lu Tong's expression moved.

It seems that Princess Wenjun is not completely without a backhand.

Seeing this, Meng Xiyan's face sank. No wonder these two maids always stay on Pei Yunshu, it turns out that they are dependent. These ordinary family mothers-in-law are unreliable, Meng Xiyan shouted: "Lu Han-"

With her shouting, the courtyard suddenly sounded the sound of Qi brushing footsteps, and a group of sword guards rushed to the door, which was the palace guard.

Meng Xiyan took a step back, pointed at a few people in the room and said sharply: "Take them!" ”

"Yes!"

The Tsing Yi guards were like wolves, fiercely pounced on the prey and sheep, and Meng Xiyan smiled coldly.

King Wenjun favored her, so he sent the palace guards to her. These guards are all people with real skills, no matter how good Pei Yunshu's two maids are, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands, not to mention ...... There was also a powerless oil bottle in the room.

In the house, the guards rushed in viciously, Fangzi and Qiongying had to be distracted to protect Pei Yunshu on the couch on the one hand, and Lu Tong on the other, and they had to deal with these guards, which was a little difficult for a while.

A sturdy guard avoided Fangzi's dagger, grabbed Yinzheng's arm and dragged it out, Yinzheng had never seen this kind of battle, and subconsciously screamed.

As soon as Lu Tong turned around and saw this scene, he grabbed a few vases and slammed them at the guard's head.

"Bang-"

The guard shook and slowly fell.

Yinzheng looked at her in horror, and the other people in the room couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this.

This woman, who looked soft and weak, was decisive without hesitation.

The fine white porcelain vase shattered on the ground, mixed with bright blood. Lu Tong stepped forward quickly and brushed off the tent on the bed.

The moonlight cloud tent is like a pale crescent moon, and like a cloud veil, gently and softly falling from the top of the head, separating the outside of the tent from the inside of the tent into two worlds.

Her calm voice floated out along with her.

"Protect me."

Fangzi and Qiong Ying suddenly came back to their senses, and now that they had reached the point of life and death, the only task of the two of them was to protect Lu Tong and deliver the princess smoothly.

There was a woman's whisper from the tent, Meng Xiyan's face was even more gloomy, the doctor girl was more difficult than she expected. She squinted, her voice sharpening.

"Take them, life or death—"

In an instant, the guards in the house had no scruples, and drew their swords and pounced on several people in the house. Lu Tong was blocked by Yun Luo's tent, his expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard the sound of fighting outside, and calmly helped Pei Yunshu to breathe.

With a "poof", a cold light pierced straight from the side, grazing Lu Hitomi's cheek. The next moment, he was blocked back by Qiongying's dagger.

"Doctor Lu, are you injured......" Pei Yunshu looked at the bloodstains on Lu Tong's face and spoke breathlessly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Tong held her down, and his tone was flat.

The fighting outside became more and more intense, Fang Zi and Qiong Ying were inevitably distracted because they had to take care of Pei Yunshu and a few people behind them, Meng Xiyan's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Who sent you?" Dare to murder the princess in broad daylight! ”

"Luján, kill them—"

Hearing this, the leader of the guards suddenly threw down the fangzi in front of him, turned the long sword in his hand, and stabbed towards Lu Tong's back, and between the lightning and the stone fire, the silver-white sword tip rushed towards Lu Tong's back heart!

"Bang-" sound.

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

A cold light burst through the air, piercing through the crowd and piercing through the guard's skull.

Clusters of warm blood splattered on the moonlight veil, mottled red, white, and white.

The arrow landed, and along with the guard and the sword in his hand.

The sound of fighting in the house stopped at some point, and in the deathly silence, Lu Tong heard Meng Xiyan speak, and his voice seemed to tremble.

She said: "Pei, Pei Yunyi...... What are you doing here? ”

Pei Yunyi? Lu Tong was slightly stunned.

Pei Yunshu also heard the movement outside, and her face was surprised: "Ah Yu is here?" ”

Lu Tong had no time to be distracted, he could only hear footsteps from outside step by step, as if someone had entered the house and walked to Pei Yunshu's couch.

The gauze tent divides the inside and the outside into two, like the two worlds of day and night separated by the clear moonlight. However, just as Fangzi was fighting with the guards, the blade of the sword cut through the gauze tent, and there was a gap in the moonlight.

Through the gap that was cut, Lu Tong glanced out.

A crimson figure stood in front of the couch.

In the mess, he turned his back to Lu Hitomi, and he couldn't see his expression, only the silver knife that was completely unsheathed at his waist.

Lu Tong had seen Pei Yunyi draw his knife, but it seemed that every time he was only half-unsheathed and then withdrawn, this was the first time he had seen this snow-bright silver knife completely unsheathed, the blade was sharp and fierce, as if the person in front of him had taken off the kind mask, revealing the obedience and ruthlessness under the mask.

No longer hide the murderous spirit.

He tilted his head slightly, exuding coldness all over his body, but his voice was gentle and reassuring, and said to Lu Tong.

"Go on."
