A girl who is a criminal in the medical profession has a good fortune, and aristocratic families are

The next day, Yunling and Zhou Qiong dressed up and went to the palace to pay their respects.

Fortunately, Empress Liu was still under house arrest, so the two of them only had to go to Yongshou Palace to pay their respects to Concubine Zhou.

The Imperial Concubine was delighted with her nephew and niece-in-law Yucheng, and gave them rewards with a big smile on her face.

While they were talking, Emperor Tai'an came over from the court, followed by Prince Ding.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Emperor Tai'an asked with a smile, "Princess Yongning, do you like the title I have chosen for you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Tai'an looked at the beautiful couple in front of him with a smile, and said to Concubine Zhou: "After a while, when the Ministry of Internal Affairs is ready, our Cong'er will be able to marry the princess."

Then he pointed at Zhou Qiong and said to Prince Ding, "Your cousin has already married a beautiful woman. If you have nothing else to do, ask him for advice. When you marry Miss Cui back home, you must let me and your mother have a grandchild as soon as possible."

Prince Ding bowed and said, "I will remember your father's teachings."

Concubine Zhou also showed some anticipation on her face.

As they were talking, Zhao Sanbao walked in. "Your Majesty, Concubine Li has gone into labor, and it seems the fetus is in an abnormal position. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital want you to go and have a look. If it's really... I need your opinion."

make a decision?

Not only did Emperor Tai'an's face darken, but everyone present also looked surprised.

Is it really that serious?

"Is Xiang Ruxin here?"

Most of the imperial physicians in the palace had their own specialties. Xiang Ruxin was best at treating women's childbirth and children's diseases, so Emperor Tai'an thought of him first.

Zhao Sanbao hesitated a little, "He was waiting in the palace, but Wuhou Mansion sent a message to the palace earlier, saying that Wuhou was unwell, so he was asked to leave."

Zhao Sanbao made a quick calculation and said, "We are almost at Wuhou Mansion now."

Although Liu Boyi was confined to his home by His Majesty, he was not actually guilty of any crime. If he asked the imperial physician to treat him, the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau would agree.

But for some reason, Xiang Ruxin was arranged to go.

Logically, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau knew that Concubine Li was about to give birth in the next few days, and Xiang Ruxin was supposed to stay in the palace.

Emperor Tai'an snorted coldly, not caring about what Liu Boyi was sick with. He only said, "Summon all the doctors on duty and off duty today to the palace to help Concubine Li give birth. By the way, bring Xiang Ruxin back to me, and arrange for Ren Zhongyu to go to Wuhou Mansion."

"Yes."

Zhao Sanbao went out to give instructions.

But the bustle in Yongshou Palace suddenly cooled down.

Emperor Tai'an wanted to say something, but when he saw Concubine Zhou's cold look and the younger generations' indifferent expressions, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​speaking.

Some things, once done, are done and cannot be undone.

"I'll leave first."

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

After he left, Concubine Zhou felt better and smiled again. "I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare some fresh and delicious dishes. You three must accompany me for dinner today."

Then he ordered the palace servants, "Go and fetch the letter written by the Third Prince."

"Although Huang'er is young, the local customs and people described in the letter are very detailed. He also wrote me many strange stories about the local area. You can read them and have fun."

When Concubine Zhou said this, her face was full of longing.

......

The backyard of Wuhou Mansion.

"My dear, this child hasn't spoken since you left that day, and he eats less and less every day. I thought he missed his father, but a few days ago he suddenly vomited everything he ate, even water. I asked people to find several doctors, but they all said they didn't know the reason...My dear, please save our child quickly. If anything happens to him, I don't want to live anymore."

Sun Xianrou held the child in her arms, crying breathlessly, no longer as graceful and elegant as before.

Liu Boyi's heart and eyes were filled with the child in her arms at this moment. He didn't care what she said. He just scolded her fiercely: "Since you had the symptoms a long time ago, why didn't you come to tell me? Why did you wait until today to come to my house?"

He looked at the child who seemed to be trembling and rolling his eyes, feeling distressed, "If you had informed me earlier, I would have brought someone to check it out. Why did you let my child suffer from the bumpy ride?"

As he spoke, he took the child with a distressed look on his face, wishing he could kick Sun Xianrou away.

Sun Xianrou cried bitterly and regretted her decision deeply.

At first, she wanted to inform Liu Boyi immediately, but then she thought that Liu Boyi valued Huo'er and naturally wanted him to be safe and healthy. Huo'er looked fine, just sick. She was afraid that Liu Boyi would blame her for mobilizing a large number of people, so she simply went to find a doctor herself.

After all, she used to always use Huo'er's illness as an excuse to go to Liu Boyi's farm to find him, and he was a little impatient and even warned her once.

But how should she bring up this matter?

She could only cry loudly, and while crying she asked, "My dear, you said someone would send for the imperial physician, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Liu Boyi hugged the child and felt that the child's convulsions seemed to be getting more and more severe. He hurriedly said to the housekeeper: "Go and check, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

He has some friendship with Xiang Ruxin. Since he was the one who specifically asked him to come, Xiang Ruxin should hurry up.

Calculating the distance, we should be there soon.

The housekeeper went out in response, and soon rushed back in. Because he was too anxious, he accidentally fell on the threshold.

Regardless of his own embarrassment, Butler Liu got up and said, "Master, I heard that Concubine Li in the palace is about to give birth, so someone from the palace just sent Doctor Xiang back. The eunuch also asked us to wait a while, saying that another Doctor Ren would be here soon."

what?

Liu Boyi couldn't believe it. "I am in mourning, not hopeless. Could it be that I want an imperial physician to come to my house, but the people in the Imperial Hospital are unwilling to let me?"

"It is said that Concubine Li is having a difficult delivery, and His Majesty has personally issued the decree."

Liu Boyi took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Go pick up Ren Zhongyu halfway. If even the man named Ren can't come, then don't come back!"

"Yes."

By the time Ren Zhongyu arrived, Liu Huoer was already breathing out more than inhaling.

"Doctor Ren, the child is actually sick. Please help me take a look. He is the child of my distant cousin. If anything happens, I will have a hard time explaining it to others."

Upon hearing this, Ren Zhongyu immediately stepped forward to take the patient's pulse.

Although he was stubborn, he was still very obedient in front of Liu Boyi, the big Buddha.

When he took her pulse, his heart skipped a beat.

This kid...

He raised his head slightly and said apologetically, "My Lord, this child will probably die tonight... We should notify his parents to come and see him for the last time."

"what are you saying?"

Liu Boyi grabbed him by the collar and angrily scolded him, "Everyone says you, Ren Zhongyu, are a waste of the Imperial Hospital. Now you can't even cure a child? His Majesty asked you to come and see me. Are you deliberately trying to make me die?"

Ren Zhongyu had never seen him like this before, and was immediately horrified, "My Lord, be careful with your words!"
