Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

In your opinion, where should we start building this first concrete road built by the imperial court?

Emperor Wen De directly threw the question to Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu felt a little pain in the back molars.

She was aggrieved, My daughter-in-law is not a member of the imperial court, so I really don't know how to repair this cement road.

Emperor Wende thought her stupid!

Of course it was impossible for her to jump into such an obvious pit.

Officials of the imperial court were divided into many factions according to their regions.

Being an official these days pays attention to fellow villagers, classmates, and the same year.

Did you see that fellow countrymen are ranked first.

Officials from one place are naturally an alliance of interests.

There can be differences of opinion and disputes over trivial matters.

But when it comes to road construction and the interests of one place, officials from the same place are bound to unite. They will even win over officials from the places they pass along the way to form a road construction alliance.

If Gu Jiu really answered Emperor Wende's question, he would really be the target of public criticism.

For example, Gu Jiu said that the official road from the capital to Hexi should be built first.

Believe it or not, officials other than Hexi can hate her to death.

Especially the officials from the Hedong area definitely regarded her as a thorn in their side.

Gu Jiu would never jump into such an obvious pit.

She is not Liu Zhao's sticky hammer, who dares to hate anyone when she is upset.

She is a businessman, and a businessman pays attention to making money with kindness.

Emperor Wende snorted, You dare to play tricks in front of me.

Gu Jiu lowered his eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, secretly complaining.

She doesn't play tricks on this kind of fatal question, so is she going to rush forward?

She didn't have the consciousness of heroically sacrificing herself.

Facing Emperor Wende's reprimand, what can she do?

My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to play tricks, she really doesn't understand.

Even if it was dismantled by Emperor Wende,

Gu Jiu will not give in easily.

Don't pretend to be rich when you should be poor, and don't act smart when you should be stupid.

Because once, twice, can get the approval of Emperor Wende. After three or four times, it will become a matter of course.

Once it becomes a matter of course for her to spend money, effort and brains, if she fails to do well once, it will become a crime. You will be disgusted and punished in a blink of an eye.

Therefore, even if everyone knew that she was rich, she still called her poor in front of others as always.

Even if everyone knows that she has many ways, she will refuse at least nine times out of ten. The last time, it was also reluctant to help.

Emperor Wende was very dissatisfied, and said angrily with a straight face: You are not afraid of me at all.

The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, and he said sincerely: My daughter-in-law is afraid, her legs are shaking from fear.

Emperor Wende's forehead twitched.

Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao have failed in their studies, they are both thick-skinned, they even open their eyes and talk nonsense.

Shaking legs?

Which leg is shaking?

Emperor Wende asked directly: If you are asked to pay for road construction, which road are you going to build?

Gu Jiu blinked, My daughter-in-law is already very satisfied with the concrete road from Beijing to Luozhou, and I dare not ask extravagantly to build a second concrete road.

Who cares if you are satisfied or not. I only ask you, I ask you to pay for road repairs, which one do you want to build?

Gu Jiu's brain hurts, why did Emperor Wende insist on forcing her to answer this question?

She thought for a while and whispered: If there is such an opportunity, my daughter-in-law will choose to build all the official roads in the Gyeonggi area and connect every county. The second is to build all the yellow mud roads in the capital into cement roads. Let the people in the capital , no longer have to worry about going out in rainy weather.”

In the huge capital city, not all roads are paved with bluestone slabs.

Bluestone slabs are costly, from quarrying to transportation to paving, every link is filled with human life.

In the capital, except for the imperial city and several main roads from east to west, north to south, the other roads are almost all dirt roads.

When it rains, it's so sour.

After going out for a trip, half of the trousers were covered with yellow mud, and the shoes were completely scrapped.

These days, the business of straw sandals is even better than that of cloth shoes, which is inseparable from the poor road conditions.

Emperor Wende was very unhappy.

In his opinion, Gu Jiu's answer was very flattering, clearly perfunctory.

He sneered, Then I will let you build all the official roads in Gyeonggi into concrete roads, if you are willing.

The devil is willing.

Most of those roads do not have toll booths.

She spent money to fix it, but got nothing in return. She is not the imperial court, she has no obligation to take on this responsibility.

But Emperor Wende made it clear that she was included in the army as punishment.

what can she do

I had to make a big move!

Oh! My daughter-in-law has a stomachache, it hurts so much... Help, help...

Gu Jiu clutched her stomach and fell directly to the ground.

Cold sweat broke out, his face was pale, and he was in great pain.

What's the matter, Mrs. Zhao?

Your Majesty, for Mrs. Zhao's situation, it's better to ask the imperial physician.

Emperor Wende: ...

I am very upset, and I really want to scold people.

Please doctor! Take Mrs. Zhao to the side hall for placement.

Your Majesty, do you want to inform His Highness?

Emperor Wende hummed, Tell the boss to enter the palace.

Chang En hurriedly ordered someone to do something.

Gu Jiu was lifted up by the maid and placed in the side hall.

Emperor Wende stood behind the desk, picked up the inkstone and smashed it.

boom!

The fine Duan inkstone was smashed into two halves. A few fragments flew.

In the main hall, from Chang En down, all the palace people knelt down together, not daring to breathe. For fear of stimulating Emperor Wende, he became cannon fodder.

It's so bold. Now she dares to play such a trick full of loopholes in front of me. Does she really think she can hide by playing a trick? Dreaming!

Your Majesty, calm down! After the imperial physician diagnoses and treats you, Mrs. Ruo Zhao is really playing tricks, and it will not be too late for Your Majesty to punish you.

After a pause, Chang En continued: Perhaps Madam Zhao is really ill.

Emperor Wende sneered, Of all my daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law is the most healthy. Have you ever seen her suffer from any kind of illness in these years? It was rumored that she was sick before. If all the sick in the world were like her With such health, I am afraid that everyone can live to eighty-eight.

Chang En was speechless.

right!

Since Mrs. Zhao married His Highness, it seems that she has never suffered from any illness.

On the contrary, the second wife and the fourth wife have to consult the doctor for medicine every year, and have been sick several times.

Emperor Wende was very angry, I am healthy and healthy on weekdays, but when I asked you, she dared to pretend to be sick. Did she eat a bear's heart and leopard courage? This is the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Chang En winked at his godson.

The godson understood, and left quietly, and went to the side hall to check on Mrs. Zhao's situation.

Once the imperial physician has a conclusion, he must report it to His Majesty as soon as possible.

Chang En comforted Emperor Wende, Your Majesty calm down, maybe Mrs. Chao is just too scared to make such a bad move.

Emperor Wende stared, Can I eat people?

Chang En's brows and eyes twitched: Your Majesty, getting angry is more terrifying than cannibalism.

Chang En said: Madam Zhao is a female relative after all, so she is timid.

Ha ha……

Emperor Wende seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, She is timid? I have never seen a woman who is more courageous than her.

Even daring to pretend to be sick in front of him is obviously eating a bear's heart and a leopard's guts.

...

In the side hall, Gu Jiu was lying on the couch, looking weak and powerless.

The servant invited the imperial physician to examine her pulse.

Madam Zhao please extend your hand.

Gu Jiu hummed, then stretched out her right hand in a vain manner, I'm sorry, doctor.

Ma'am, you are welcome.

The imperial physician, who was half buried in the ground, stroked his beard while carefully examining the pulse.

He frowned slightly, as if he had encountered an intractable disease.

So the imperial physician asked Gu Jiu to stretch out his left hand and continue to check the pulse.

The servant stared at the side, a little frightened, Doctor, is Mrs. Zhao's health okay?

The imperial physician was silent.

Gu Jiu coughed lightly, No matter how serious the condition is, please ask the imperial physician to tell the truth. I can bear it.

The imperial physician let go of Gu Jiu's wrist, and after a moment of silence, he said, Madam is happy.

What disease is it, imperial physician... The servant realized halfway through the sentence, What did the imperial physician just say? Say it again.

The imperial physician solemnly said: Madam Zhao is happy, about one month or so.

really?

It's absolutely true.

The servant opened his mouth wide and looked at Gu Jiu in disbelief.

Gu Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, obviously restraining the excitement in her heart, Doctor, am I really pregnant?

Madam's little day should be postponed.

Gu Jiu bit her lip, The date is a bit uncertain, I'm not sure.

Too medical to understand.

Most of women's small days are not accurate. It is also common to postpone small days and be uncertain.

Madam Zhao, rest well, your fetus looks a little unstable. The official will prescribe two sets of anti-fetal medicine for you, so you can take it raw. You can't be stimulated any more.

Gu Jiu was kind and kind, Thank you, the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor prescribed medicine.

Congratulations Madam, Congratulations Madam. Your Majesty is still waiting for news, this old slave is leaving. The servant said auspicious words, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, this test has finally passed.

She caressed her abdomen, and originally wanted to announce the news of the baby's arrival in half a month later.

Unexpectedly, the plan could not keep up with the change. Forced by Emperor Wende, she could only announce the news of her pregnancy in advance.

...

What, pregnant?

Emperor Wende was surprised.

The servant nodded very positively, Mrs. Zhao is indeed pregnant. The imperial doctor diagnosed it as more than one month old, and said that the fetal image is not stable and cannot be stimulated any more.

Emperor Wende frowned, I'm really pregnant.

Chang En hurriedly said: It seems that Madam Zhao did not intend to deceive His Majesty.

Emperor Wende nodded, So I misunderstood her. I just said that she is not a timid person, and I asked her to build roads but resisted. It turned out that she was pregnant.

Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations to Your Majesty. Mrs. Zhao is pregnant, and the royal family will have another baby.

Emperor Wende was also happy, The eldest couple are not young anymore, and they have only had one child after many years of marriage. I am worried for them. Now the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again, which is a happy event. Haha...

Just as he was happy, a servant came in to report, Your Majesty, the Great Highness has come down.

Tell him to come in. Emperor Wende put away his smile.

The waiter looked troubled.

Emperor Wende stared, What's going on?

The servant said tremblingly: Your Majesty, the Grand Majesty went down to the side hall to visit Mrs. Zhao, the old slave can't stop me!

When they arrived at Xingqing Palace, instead of paying homage to the emperor first, they rushed to visit their daughter-in-law.

Liu Zhao's skin is itchy, do you want to court death?
