Chapter 302 Pregnancy Bet

Mother Pang also tried to smile, and said in a weak voice: "I..., I want to drink water..."

Pang Yuqin hurriedly asked the servants to bring warm water, and was about to feed Pang's mother.Du Wenhao said: "Bring the dregs of the fried ginseng earlier, give it to grandma and drink it with water."

A servant brought the dregs of the medicine, and he fed Pang's mother with water.After a while, Pang's mother's spirit gradually improved, and she was supported to do it, leaning against the head of the bed, and chatting with Pang Yuqin and the others.

Seeing this scene, the whole family was surprised and happy, and they all secretly praised Du Wenhao's medical skills as gods.

That night, Du Wenhao and his wife stayed at Pang's mother's house.

On the bed, Pang Yuqin leaned against her husband and said, "Master, what's going on with grandma? Is my prescription wrong?"

"No, your prescription is correct."

Pang Yuqin said sadly: "Husband, you don't need to comfort me anymore, I know you are comforting me."

"I didn't comfort you. What I said was true. There is nothing wrong with your prescription itself."

Pang Yuqin raised her head, her eyes were moist, and she looked at Du Wenhao: "Then why can't you cure grandma's illness, and make grandma like this?"

"Because you don't know how to give medicine to the elderly. However, if an elderly person is deficient in righteousness and unable to arouse the evil to go out, even if he has typhoid fever syndrome, he should not use purely dispersing medicines. Instead, he should use Shensu Yin, Zaizao San, etc Only when the medicine strengthens the body and relieves the exterior will it be effective. If you repeatedly use the medicine to relieve the exterior by sweating, it will not only be of no benefit, but will cause you to sweat again and again. Sweating and impairing the yang will cause you to be distracted, unable to think about eating, unable to speak, and unable to open your eyes. In this case, you only need to take the decoction of ginseng slowly, and the vitality will be restored, and the disease will be cured."

Pang Yuqinlan was intelligent and intelligent, and immediately understood after listening to it. She knew that she had used the right prescription, but she didn't consider the physical characteristics of an elderly person, and she didn't think about strengthening the body when using the medicine, which hurt her yang energy.

She has been studying medicine with Du Wenhao for nearly a year. She works very hard on weekdays and spends almost all of her free time studying medical skills. With Du Wenhao's guidance, her medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds. My grandmother treated a simple typhoid syndrome. Although the prescription was correct, she didn't know the reason why it differs from person to person. It almost caused a catastrophe. Only then did she realize that Qihuang is a broad and profound one. I just got a glimpse of it. There is still a long way to go.

The next day, I watched Pang's mother for another day. Pang's mother has basically recovered, she can get out of bed and walk, and her diet has returned to normal. In the evening, she accompanied Pang's mother and other family members to have dinner. Du Wenhao and his wife then left and returned to Wuwei. Church.

Another day.

This morning, Lin Qingdai got up early to go to the bamboo grove in the backyard to stretch her fists and feet. Just as she opened the door, she saw a piece of paper falling from the threshold. When she picked it up, she saw a paragraph neatly written in small letters : "The poem recited the day before yesterday, the following part continues as follows:
If you were once an eminent monk facing the wall,
I must be the stick of incense in front of the temple,

burning,

Accompany you for a quiet time.

Therefore, meeting in this life,
I always feel that there is something unfinished,
But in a trance,
cannot be clearly distinguished,

I can't tell you all of them. "

After Lin Qingdai finished reading, her heart felt hot, she turned back to the room and closed the door, and saw Du Wenhao coming out of the study through the window, she quickly lowered her head and sat down on the chair, as if she had done something shameful, until she stared helplessly. Seeing Du Wenhao walking out of her sight in a blue shirt and long robe, and the sound of the door opening and closing with a bang, Lin Qingdai patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief, picked up the paper again and seriously read it.

"Hey, Wen Hao, you said that I, Qingdai, was the beauty of your life. These three short lines blinded my eyes. Why can't I understand what you mean? From this point of view, it is the paragraph you said that moved me more. What about my heart." Lin Qingdai smiled wistfully, put down the long sword in her hand, fell straight on the bed, placed the piece of paper gently on her chest, and closed her eyes happily.

Suddenly hearing someone knocking on the door, Lin Qingdai complained in a low voice, "Who is it?" She got up and went to the door and opened it.

I saw Du Wenhao standing outside the door with a playful smile and looking at himself, holding two steaming glutinous rice cakes wrapped in lotus leaves in his hands.

Lin Qingdai blushed, and mumbled, "You... haven't you left?"

"I was leaving, but when I went out, I saw someone selling glutinous rice cakes stuffed with red dates that you like, so I bought two for you." After speaking, Du Wenhao handed the glutinous rice cakes in his hand to Lin Qingdai, and folded his body. to go.

"Wen Hao..." Lin Qingdai hesitated to speak.

"What's up?"

"Well..., it's okay, you go to the palace to answer the errand, it's delayed for two days, I don't know if the emperor has any orders, and the women in the harem, who are seriously ill, are waiting for you to see, I'm afraid this time It's almost time for me to see through. Let's go."

Du Wenhao turned around and smiled at her: "Then I'm leaving!" He waved his hands and hurried away.

When Du Wenhao's back disappeared, Lin Qingdai lowered her head quietly and looked at the fragrant glutinous rice cake in her hand. For some reason, her nose soured, and a drop of clear tears fell on the lotus leaf, dipping into the glutinous rice cake with a bang.

"If I had been the woman picking lotus in the south of the Yangtze River,
How can I be willing to miss this one of you? "

Lin Qingdai muttered in a low voice, retreated to the room and closed the door.

------------

As soon as Du Wenhao entered the harem, he received news that Concubine Zhu De was looking for something urgent for him.

The two had already sworn siblings, and Du Wenhao knew that his sister-in-law would not bother him if there was nothing to do, and she must be anxious to find him if something really happened.Hastily hurried to Concubine Zhu De's bedroom.

Concubine Zhu De was wearing an emerald green gauze dress, and the jewelry on her head was jingling all the way, and she had already gone out to greet her.

"What is your empress looking for from me?" Seeing Concubine Zhu De's nervous expression, Du Wenhao quickened his pace.

Concubine Zhu De signaled all the court ladies and eunuchs to back down, and pulled Du Wenhao to sit on the stone bench in the corridor.He whispered: "Wen Hao, Concubine Liu Gui is ill!"

"Concubine Liu Gui? Hehe, when she is sick, there are people who are worried, so I don't need my sister to worry about it. Look, sister, you are in a hurry. If she is sick, she should just go to the imperial doctor." Du Wenhao said with a smile.

"If this is the case, my sister will not be in a hurry to find you. Let me tell you, this incident happened because of Yu Cairen. Concubine Liu Guifei told the emperor that Yu Cairen pushed herself on purpose and moved her stomach. The baby probably won’t be able to keep the fetal gas. The emperor is very angry.”

"What child?" Du Wenhao was startled, he went to see it a few days ago, and Concubine Liu Gui was obviously not pregnant with any child, how could it be like this?

"Isn't Concubine Liu Gui pregnant? For some reason this morning, I met Yu Cairen in the Imperial Garden. I heard from Eunuch Ning, who is next to the emperor, that the words were probably not congenial, and the two pushed and shoved in front of many people." Got up, unexpectedly, Concubine Liu Gui fell to the ground and passed out immediately."

"How could this be? Have you seen the imperial physician?" Du Wenhao was also surprised when he heard that.

"Look, the worst thing is that Xia Jiu Po, the Imperial Physician of the Women's Department of the Imperial Hospital, said that the child in Concubine Liu Gui's stomach could not be kept, but Yu Cairen said that it was you who said that Concubine Liu Gui didn't have any children in her stomach at all."

Du Wenhao understood that he really said this to Yu Ge'er. Could it be that Liu Guifei and Xia Jiupo conspired to frame Yu Ge'er? After all, Liu Guifei had been in the palace for a long time and had a relationship with the imperial doctor Naturally, the metaphor pigeon needs to be familiar with a lot, and this possibility cannot be ruled out. No wonder Concubine Zhu De is so anxious to find her.If this matter goes wrong, it will catch fire!

Du Wenhao said: "Thank you sister, I understand."

"Wen Hao, what the hell is going on, my sister believes in you, but what about Xia Jiu Po..."

"Sister, don't worry, I'd better get away from you quickly, lest people see and hurt my sister." Du Wenhao said as he got up and wanted to leave.

Concubine Zhu De pulled Du Wenhao back and said: "What am I afraid of? Just say that you come to see a doctor for me. Anyway, if you come out now, the eyeliner of those good ladies will know, so let the emperor's people Pass you over here."

Du Wenhao couldn't help but was moved, and was about to express his thanks when he saw a court lady rushing over, pointing to the door and saying: "Madam, the emperor sent someone to look for Mrs Du, and asked Mrs Du to rush to Concubine Liu Guifei's Yuyu Palace immediately. .”

Concubine Zhu De patted Du Wenhao on the shoulder: "Go, don't be afraid! There is my sister in the palace. I know this harem better than you. If I have to, I will go find the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager."

Du Wenhao smiled gratefully at Concubine Zhu De, and walked towards the gate.

He rushed to Concubine Liu Gui's Yuyu Palace, and before he entered the door, he heard Concubine Liu Gui's howling like a pig: "Oh, Your Majesty, the concubine is going to die of pain. If the child in my stomach can't be kept, the concubine doesn't want to die." alive."

Du Wenhao walked in, and saw Concubine Liu Gui lying on the bed with her hair disheveled, Song Shenzong sitting in front of the bed with a gloomy face, and Yu Ge'er standing by the door with her head bowed. Xia Jiu Po.

"My humble servant sees the emperor." Du Wenhao stepped forward to salute.

Song Shenzong looked up at Du Wenhao, but before he could speak, Concubine Liu Gui let out another long scream.Song Shenzong frowned, got up and walked to Du Wenhao's side, and said in a deep voice, "Du Aiqing, have you examined Concubine Liu Gui a few days ago?"

"If you go back to the emperor, I did show Concubine Liu Gui five days ago." Du Wenhao looked at Concubine Liu Gui, only to see that she turned her head to the side and continued to howl miserably.

"Did you ever say that Concubine Liu Gui was not pregnant?" Song Shenzong gave Yu Ge'er a hard look when he said this.

Du Wenhao didn't hesitate, and said sternly: "Yes, I also told Concubine Liu Gui at that time that she was just having irregular menstruation and was not pregnant with a dragon child. I also prescribed several doses of prescriptions for regulating menstruation and activating blood circulation. Let her keep eating."

"As I said, she wasn't pregnant at all." Yu Ge'er whispered aside.

"Shut up!" Song Shenzong scolded. "Du Aiqing, I believe in your medical skills, but is it possible that you have misdiagnosed the pulse?"

Du Wenhao smiled lightly, and said: "Your Majesty, if you can't even diagnose the joy pulse, the imperial doctor, Weichen, is too stupid."

Song Shenzong nodded, but his face was still dubious. After all, this involved his own children. Song Shenzong had six or seven sons who died in a row, and he took the safety of his children very seriously.

Du Wenhao also noticed it, glanced at Concubine Liu Gui on the bed, and smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, I have a method to easily test whether Concubine Liu Gui is pregnant with a dragon child."

Song Shenzong immediately said: "Say, what prescription?"

Du Wenhao looked back at Xia Jiupo, walked to her side and bowed, "You said Liu Guifei is indeed pregnant?"

"Yes!" Xia Jiupo said with certainty, and looked at Du Wenhao calmly.

Du Wenhao went to Concubine Liu Gui's bed again and asked, "Have you ever eaten the prescription I gave you a few days ago?"

"Eat...Eat it, Master Xia said that your prescription has a medicine that has the effect of abortion!"

Song Shenzong frowned slightly, Du Wenhao caught this flashing look, he couldn't help but his heart was shocked, and said in a deep voice: "So, the palm of Yu Niangniang plus my blind medicine, wouldn't it be impossible to keep it?" Is there a fetus in the womb of Concubine Liu Gui?"

"Master Du made an unintentional mistake. Everyone has time to make mistakes." Xia Jiupo looked at Du Wenhao and replied respectfully.

Du Wenhao turned around and said to Song Shenzong: "Weichen's prescription cannot be denied. If Concubine Liu Guifei is really pregnant, then the medicine in Weichen's prescription is indeed suspicious."

When Song Shenzong heard it, his thick eyebrows were even more twisted together: "What is the explanation for Du Aiqing's words?"

Although Concubine Liu Gui was howling all the time, she secretly paid attention to their conversation. When she heard the emperor's words, she immediately got up on her knees and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine knew that the relationship between Yu Ge'er and Lord Du was very different. Because the last time the concubine accidentally said that she was an actress, she hated the concubine, and the concubine also heard that Yu Ge'er wanted someone to kill the child in the concubine's stomach. The emperor...! The child is gone No, the concubine can't live anymore, you can just let the concubine die, and if the concubine dies, someone can replace him, so I'm satisfied..., woo woo woo"

Song Shenzong listened to Concubine Liu Gui's words, but his thick eyebrows that were tightly locked opened a little, looked at Du Wenhao, and said calmly: "Du Aiqing, I want to hear your explanation."

Du Wenhao's expression remained unchanged, he bowed and said, "It's like this, Your Majesty..."

"The empress dowager, the empress dowager, the empress is here! Concubine Zhu De is here!" A sharp male duck voice sang from outside the door.

Everyone was startled, and hastily parted from each other and bowed to salute, Song Shenzong rushed out to greet him, and saw the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Empress, and Concubine Zhu De walking in quickly.Behind him was the Empress Dowager's thug team led by Eunuch Jiao.

"Grandma, why are you here?" Song Shenzong hurried forward to salute.Concubine Liu Gui's screams in the room disappeared immediately.

The Empress Dowager walked into the room, and cast a cold look at Concubine Liu Gui on the bed: "What's going on?"

Concubine Liu Gui choked and said what she had just said again, but Yu Ge'er gritted her teeth and said nothing.

The Empress Dowager walked to Du Wenhao's side and said, "What are you going to say?"

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Liu Gui is really not pregnant, and this minister has a way to prove it!"

The Empress Dowager stared at him for a moment, nodded and said: "Aijia believes that you will not make mistakes, so you don't have to worry. You wait aside, Aijia has his own theory."

"The humble minister leads the order." Du Wenhao bowed and said.

The empress dowager walked to Xia Jiupo, who quickly knelt down.The Empress Dowager said: "Master Xia, you are an old doctor in the Imperial Hospital. I am afraid that you and Mrs. Wen delivered the Empress Dowager's children together?"

"Yes... yes, the Empress Dowager."

"Well, since they are all imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital, we have to find out if something like this happened today,——Wen Hao, you just said that you have a prescription, and if you try it, you will know whether Concubine Liu Gui is pregnant or not. If you have a child, what can you do, let's hear it!"

"Yes!" Du Wenhao said blatantly, "Since Concubine Liu Gui and Master Xia both said that the child in Concubine Gui's womb will not be kept, then the way for this humble minister is to use abortion pills for Concubine Liu Gui!"
"What are you talking about!" Xia Jiupo couldn't help yelling, "The lady is pregnant with a dragon child!"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said: "The Ai family thinks it's okay, since we can't keep it, let's use this method to prove Wen Hao's innocence."

Du Wenhao gratefully bowed his hands to the Empress Dowager, and pointed to his own head: "This minister is willing to pledge his head as a guarantee. If the abortifacient is taken and the imperial concubine gives birth to a dragon son, this minister will immediately commit suicide and apologize!"

"Self-killing? It's a beautiful idea!" Concubine Liu Gui bitterly said, "If you don't kill the nine clans, how can I vent the hatred in my heart!"

"Listen to your honor!" Du Wenhao said coldly, "However, this is to use the wealth and life of the humble minister as a guarantee, and absolute fairness must be ensured. The humble minister requested that the Empress Dowager appoint a referee in the middle to lead the Empress Dowager's internal guard team." A complete martial law is imposed on the imperial concubine's dormitory, and everyone is not allowed to enter or leave, so as not to be mischievous. In addition, several stable women outside the palace are invited to be notarized to conduct a joint inspection of the empress's belongings to determine whether the birth is a fetus. !"

Concubine Liu Gui said viciously: "Fart! You are..."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said blatantly: "This idea is okay! With the matter at this point, this matter will be handed over to the empress to supervise it. What does the emperor think?"

Du Wenhao cured the Queen's disease for many years, allowing her to regain the emperor's favor. The Queen was grateful and affectionate to Du Wenhao.

Of course Song Shenzong obeyed what the Empress Dowager said, what's more, he also wanted to know the real result, and said: "Okay, since the old ancestors have said so, let's do it this way."

The Empress Dowager said again: "Before the matter was clarified, Yu Ge'er stayed with me. Wen Hao, when will this matter be clarified?"

"If you take the abortion pill today, there will be results within three days at the latest," Du Wenhao said.Turning to look at Xia Jiu Po: "Master Xia, what do you think?"

Xia Jiupo didn't dare to talk nonsense, her forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and she said: "This..., your lord is right."

Song Shenzong said: "Du Aiqing and Xia Aiqing can't leave their residence in the capital for a few days. Someone will guard them, so I will wrong you for the time being."

"Your Majesty, it's just that Master Sima's illness may not be delayed." Du Wenhao said cautiously.

"Well..., wait first, I've been waiting for so long, I don't care about waiting for three more days."

The Empress Dowager said: "Okay, that's it, Mr. Du, you give the imperial concubine the medicine!"

"Yes!" Du Wenhao bowed.

Concubine Liu Gui stammered, "The Empress Dowager..."

"No need to say too much! Ai's family has been settled, so let's do it like this!" The Empress Dowager stood up, looked back at Concubine Liu Gui, saw her flustered eyes, couldn't help smiling coldly, and said to the empress: "Here is for you and Concubine Liu." Little Jiaozi, a mouse is not allowed to approach the imperial concubine!"

"Yes!" The empress and Eunuch Jiao, the captain of the thugs team and the chief eunuch, both bowed and agreed.

The Empress Dowager walked up to Du Wenhao, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and led Yu Ge'er away.

Seeing the Empress Dowager and the others leave, Xia Jiupo hurriedly said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, this is not fair. Concubine Liu Gui's current body can't withstand the tossing of abortion pills. It is more important to treat her as soon as possible."

"Follow the Empress Dowager's order!" Song Shenzong didn't even look at Xia Jiupo, flicked his sleeves and walked out the door.

Concubine Liu Gui didn't expect things to turn out like this, she hated and feared, and said in a miserable voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't leave, if you leave, the concubines will die, the Empress Dowager understands that she is partial to Du Wenhao and Yu Geer, do I not know my own stomach?"

Song Shenzong stopped in his tracks, raised his head to the sky and let out a long sigh, without turning his head, he just said: "The reason why the Empress Dowager brought Yu Ge'er to her is to prevent her from getting in touch with Du Wenhao. Don't think too much about it. Since the empress dowager let the queen take care of this matter, I don't think it's unfair, you have a good life, if someone really wants to harm my child, I definitely can't spare her, but if it's not..., hehe, I also I will not let Du Aiqing suffer innocent injustice!"

After finishing speaking, Song Shenzong walked away in a huff.

The queen glanced at the maids and eunuchs in the room, raised her brows, "Don't you all get out, do you want me to beat you out with sticks?"

Those men and women immediately rushed out in a swarm.

With a wave of the Queen's hand, the Empress Dowager's team of thugs immediately surrounded the third floor and the outer three floors of Concubine Liu Guifei's bedroom.

Du Wenhao had already written the abortion prescription, and showed it to Xia Jiupo. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it over to the attendant in the Royal Medicine Academy to pick up the medicine, fried it on the spot, and gave it to Concubine Liu Gui.

Concubine Liu Gui looked at the queen pitifully, and she didn't know how to shirk it. The queen said coldly, "I'll give you a choice,—you drink it yourself, or should I have someone force-feed you?"

Concubine Liu Gui had no choice but to drink the medicine with a bitter face.

Du Wenhao smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back.

In the room, Xia Jiu Po ​​got up and was about to walk to Concubine Liu Gui's bed, the queen said sharply, "What are you doing? If you take another step forward, I will beat you to death immediately!"

Xia Jiu Po ​​was taken aback. No one in the palace knew the empress's temper. She was a biting tigress. She beat Chen Meiren half to death, and she didn't want to follow in her footsteps.He hurriedly stepped back a few steps and glanced at Concubine Liu Gui, only to see Concubine Liu looking at him pitifully, helpless.

Empress Empress pointed to Xia Jiupo and said: "Come here, take her back and lock her up so that she can be guarded. If she is lost, I will ask you!"

The queen drove away all Concubine Liu's people, and conducted a thorough search of the house, but found nothing abnormal. After setting up the security guard, Jiao Jiaogong said: "Look here yourself, you have heard what the Empress Dowager said, If something happened, we both couldn't get away from it, and Bengong would keep his eyes on her while sleeping! Well, call Bengong immediately if there is anything to do!"

After all, walk away.
