Chapter 52

Now that Zirong woke up, Lu Zhi planned to take him back to the palace first.

The flower demon was carried out by Lu Zhi with a quilt. When passing by the front hall, Lu Xuan stood up to see her off. Zirong poked her head out from Lu Zhi's shoulder, and said goodbye to Qi Mu with a smile on her face, "Qi Mu , Your Highness is going to take me home, can you come and play with me in a few days?"

Lu Zhi stopped following Zi Rong's words, and sincerely thanked Qi Mudao.But Qi Mu sat still, his eyes didn't know where to fall, and he didn't answer.

"Let's go." Lu Xuan said: "It's neither hot nor cold at the moment, just right, I'm afraid of the wind later."

He sent Lu Zhi into the carriage with Zirong in his arms, and watched them walk away before entering the house.Qi Mu in the room was still sitting upright in that posture, and he was not angry at all.

Lu Xuan thought of his sarcasm with sharp teeth and sharp mouth before. He had never seen it before, and it was strange and abnormal.

"Mumu." He went to Qi Mu and squatted down, holding Qi Mu's two thin hands on his knees, and said softly: "Mu Mu?"

Lu Xuan yelled two more times, and Qi Mu moved, as if he suddenly let go of all his strength.

Lu Xuan got up to lean on him, but he immediately pulled out his hand and leaned sideways on the table.His face was buried between his palms, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

After such a long time, Lu Xuan still couldn't remain indifferent to Qi Mu's first reaction of not seeking his embrace at the moment of fragility.

His mouth was full of bitterness, but in the end he could only hold back, his voice was still gentle, and he put his hand on Qi Mu's shoulder, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's useless for us to meddle in the matter of the young couple. The one who is pregnant is the one who took the wrong medicine... And look, isn't the adult and the child all right now? You don't need to be a false alarm..."

Qi Mu slowly shook his head twice, and said: "I only said half of what the doctor said, King Yu is like that. But after returning to the mansion, the imperial physician will explain it to him."

Lu Xuan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Qi Mu still buried his face, and said weakly: "You really can't blame King Yu for this matter. But do you know, musk, cinnamon, sumac, no matter how little, what are the medicines that pregnant people take? Consequences? The child... is too young to be able to see it yet, the imperial doctor said that it is very possible that the... in his stomach is stillborn."

His voice was extremely soft, but it gave the illusion that he was on the verge of collapse.

Lu Xuan stood behind Qi Mu, and those words seemed to come from a long distance, with broken porcelain pieces, scarred people's hearts one by one.

Qi Mu said: "I really don't understand, why is it so difficult to keep a child?"

In Lu Zhi's study room, the imperial physician knelt respectfully, and after finishing speaking, several layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Lu Zhi clenched his hand on the desk, and after a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean by stillbirth? People... are obviously fine."

On the way back, although Zirong's complexion was still not very good, she was quite lively, she clasped his neck with both hands, and acted like a baby stickyly.

He touched Zirong's lower abdomen, wondering if it was an illusion, he always felt that the flesh there was indeed more soft, fragile and precious than before.When he touched it, Zi Rong came up to her with her belly outstretched, her two black eyes were full of pride, she tilted her head and asked him airily, "Does your Highness like it?"

How could he not like it, he liked it so much that he couldn't speak.

He thought it was just a false alarm, so he couldn't understand what the imperial doctor said.

At this time, the imperial physician was no longer kneeling, but laying his forehead on the ground, in a prone position.tremblingly said:

"It's just possible. Bi, after all, those medicines are all for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. For pregnant women, taking them for such a long time is really, really dangerous. It's unheard of. And when the slave called for his pulse, the nobleman himself said that he had There was pain and bleeding after taking the medicine."

The imperial doctor thought about it for a moment, and tried to make the situation less dangerous: "The slave has read it in medical books, and there are also such cases where it actually falls, but it doesn't come out. Now the nobleman is still young, and the slave's knowledge is shallow, it is really... It’s really not diagnosed. I only know in the future, after three months, when I can listen to the fetal heart rate. If I listen to it, I will save the danger and make a false alarm. It means that the pregnancy is difficult, and there is nothing special to worry about.”

Lu Zhi only felt that there was a mouthful of blood in his chest, and if he didn't vomit it out, it would block him and make him unable to breathe.

But if it vomits out, it will lose its support and even the bones will not be able to stand up.

He was in extreme pain and hatred, but he still had to clear his mind, grasped the last sentence, and asked the imperial physician word by word: "What if after three months, you can't hear the fetal heartbeat?"

The imperial physician suddenly trembled, he had always wanted to avoid this, but now that Lu questioned it, he had to answer it, as a mourning bird in advance: "If you can't hear it, you can't hear it... a ball of dead flesh fell in the belly, neither It will grow up, and I can't pass it out, I'm afraid of people who are pregnant..."

He stopped talking suddenly, and begged for mercy with a trembling voice: "My lord, please forgive me. The slave deserves to die. The slave is useless."

The imperial physician was shaking violently, Lu Zhi just sat by the window, not saying a word for a long time.

"It will be fine." After a long time, he opened his mouth in a low voice, as if he was speaking to the imperial physician, or just to himself: "It's fine, it must be fine."

The imperial doctor hurriedly replied: "Your Highness has auspicious people, and your heirs also have gods to protect them. It must be, it must be fine!"

"En." Lu Zhi responded softly, and then asked him: "Then, what kind of medicine should I give him now? Did you prescribe a prescription yesterday?"

Now Lu Zhi hates the word "medicine" so much that he even mentions it quickly when he says it.

The imperial doctor said: "Returning to the prince, there was no prescription yesterday. The situation is unknown now, and the medicine is three-point poisonous, and the previous medicine is still left, so it is best not to take even the anti-natal medicine at this time. Sometimes no medicine is needed. , but better than medication.”

Lu Zhi understood.What the imperial physician meant was that there was no other way but to wait.

With his eyes downcast and an unclear expression on his face, he leaned back in the chair, tapped his index finger on the armrest unconsciously, and said after a long time, "Get back."

The imperial doctor was soaked through two layers of clothes at this time, and when he heard the words, he seemed to have received an amnesty, and he respectfully answered yes, stood up and bowed back.

"Wait." Lu Zhi suddenly said again, the imperial physician who had just stepped back two steps immediately knelt down again, waiting for Lu Zhi's order.

"He's been thinking about something to eat recently, and he always wants snacks after he's had a meal, can you give them?"

After hearing this, the imperial physician's face became brighter, and even beamed with joy, and said: "Yes, of course I can. If the nobleman wants to eat, his body needs it... The servant dared to ask, what do you want to eat? "

Lu Zhi thought for a moment, then said: "There is nothing fixed, just some snacks, both sweet and salty... Sometimes I want to eat something with a strong taste, a bowl of noodles is full of spicy oil and vinegar, is this okay?"

The imperial doctor shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, people with a body like to eat something with a strong taste, it's a good thing to be able to eat. Needless to say, it's hot these days, so you can eat something cold, just don't eat too much .”

Lu Zhi said in a low voice: "I never heard that you want to eat it cold."

After the imperial doctor left, his complexion improved a lot before he left, and he no longer wrinkled his old face.Look carefully, if there are other reactions, it is very likely that the child is fine.

Lu Zhi sat for a long time, and the sky gradually darkened.He closed his eyes and leaned back on the back of the chair, pinching the space between his eyebrows with two fingers.

He remembered how Zi Rong used to be like she didn't have enough to eat every day, but later seeing that she didn't want to, she often asked for the jade pendant behind his back, and once he was caught "stealing" a snack by himself, and finally he got angry, When Zi Rong came to coax him, her heart was filled with unceasing difficulties.

Others were pregnant, and it was too late to think of ways to ease the pregnancy, but Zirong was forced by him to take medicine for removing blood stasis.

Someone else is pregnant, and the whole house has to be surrounded by people. One moment they say something to eat, and the next moment they will bring it to their eyes, but Zi Rong has to secretly beg the servant girl to get it.

Fate often likes to make such jokes, Lu Zhi knows that no one can blame him, and he can only swallow any bitterness and regret.

I don't know how long it took, Yu Pendant came to the study, and Lu asked, "Your master is awake?"

Yu Pendant replied: "Returning to Your Highness, just now the master opened his eyes and asked for a saliva. Before the servant came, it looked like he was going to sleep again."

Not long after Zirong came back, he fell asleep again. The imperial doctor who came to see Zirong from the imperial hospital yesterday arrived. After taking his pulse again, Lu Zhi took him to the study first, asked Yuzhui to look at Zirong, and woke up Call him.

Seeing that it was really late outside, Lu Zhi got up and said, "Let's go."

Yu Pendant followed behind Lu Zhi, with two guards carrying lanterns in front and two behind.

There is a distance from the study room of the Wangfu to the main hall. After walking for a while, Lu Zhi suddenly asked Yu Pendant, "When your master had a good appetite, what did you eat during the day?"

Yuzhui answered cautiously: "After breakfast in the morning, I will order two plates of dim sum first. Sometimes it is shortbread, sometimes it is glutinous rice cake, and there are others, but not many, and they are all vegetarian. I will drink it once before lunch. For tea, you need meat snacks, or replace the tea with bone soup."

Lu Zhi nodded and asked, "What about the afternoon?"

Now that everyone in the whole family knows about Zirong's pregnancy, Zirong wants to eat because of this. The jade pendant doesn't need to be hidden, but is very happy, and the tone of her voice is also light when she speaks: "Eat more in the afternoon, and eat more before dinner." The most popular ones are the hot pot of stewed chicken, stewed bamboo shoots in old duck soup, spicy tofu... put as much chili as you can, and there is a layer of red oil floating on it. I can eat a big bowl."

"He called, can you finish eating?"

Yu Pendant smiled and said: "After eating, when a table of dishes is served, the master doesn't even have the time to talk. He can finish eating in less than half an hour. Sometimes it's not enough. His lips are red from the heat. , and also told the slaves to 'add spiciness, add spiciness'."

Lu Zhi walked forward with his hands behind his back, the more he heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

He had never seen such a purple face before.

It should be a very happy moment for two people to be together, Zirong thought of what to eat, first acted like a baby to him, then he asked his servants to cook it quickly, using the freshest and best ingredients, look After he finished eating, he held him in his arms, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and rubbed his stomach.

The medicine he didn't want to take and couldn't take was thrown far away early in the morning, and the one in his arms and the one in his stomach were all well protected.

These were originally his responsibilities, but he didn't do a good job.

The stars in the sky are shining, flickering and flickering.Lu Zhi walked in the hot summer night wind, but it was like being in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.

When he entered the room, Zi Rong woke up and was lying on her side facing the door.

Seeing him coming in, the flower demon didn't get up, she just pursed her lips and smiled, pulling up the quilt with one hand to cover half of her face, revealing a pair of dark eyes, as if she was shy, blinking, waiting for him to come closer A protracted voice called out: "Lu——"

Lu Zhi hummed, knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed the flower demon's eyelids that closed with his movements, and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel uncomfortable? Are you hungry?"

Zirong put her arms around his neck, shook her head and said, "I'm not uncomfortable, and I'm not hungry either."

Lu Zhi clenched his fist where Zi Rong could not see, and then said in a steady voice, "You can eat whatever you want in the future, no one cares about you."

Zirong thought for a while, then whispered: "But..."

Lu Zhi said: "You are pregnant, it's good to want to eat. In the past, I was wrong in the past, but you can't endure the hunger by yourself, tell me what you want, remember?"

Zi Rong followed suit, and then slowly blushed. After a while, she lowered her eyes in embarrassment, and whispered: "Then I want to eat milk now, can I..."

"Yes." Lu Zhi didn't tear off the thin quilt covering his face, but leaned over and hugged him gently, as if caring for some fragile treasure.He rubbed the corner of Zirong's eyes with his thumb, and said, "Of course."
