Divine Doctor's Daughter: The Imperial Concubine

Chapter 55
Sure enough, news of Aunt Yun's abdominal pain came from Yuheyuan in the afternoon, and the whole mansion was alarmed.

"My stomach!" Aunt Yun arched her body and hugged her stomach, with sweat dripping from her forehead, she screamed.

"Auntie? Auntie! What's wrong with you?" Yin'er stood aside and asked quickly.

"It hurts! It hurts!" Aunt Yun hugged her belly and moaned in pain while lying on the bed.

After hearing this, Chu Lie rushed over in a panic, looked at the fine sweat on her face, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Hurry up and call the doctor!"

At this moment, Chu Ruoying had also walked to the door of Yuhe Courtyard. Hearing the roar from the courtyard, she couldn't help but stop, and a trace of ridicule flashed across her clear eyes very quickly.

After about two sticks of incense, the government doctor carried the medicine box and was urged by Yin'er to walk quickly towards Yuheyuan. Chu Ruoying hurried forward and said, "The government doctor is here, hurry up and give it to Aunt Yun." Look!"

The doctor nodded quickly, and followed Chu Ruoying into the inner room. When the doctor entered the room and saw Chu Lie was about to salute, Chu Lie waved his hand impatiently, grabbed him, and said angrily, "Hurry up!" Let her see!"

The mansion doctor trembled, and hurriedly responded. He walked to the bed and felt his pulse through a handkerchief. Chu Lie stood up anxiously. No one in the mansion has been pregnant all these years. Finally, someone got pregnant. There must be no accident.

Inadvertently seeing Chu Ruoying standing aside, Chu Lie was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Why is Yinger here?"

Chu Ruoying bowed her body and said: "I heard that Aunt Yun's stomach hurts, and Ying'er was worried, so I came to have a look."

Hearing this, Chu Lie glanced at her appreciatively, "Ying'er is really sensible, Aunt Yun has many disputes with you on weekdays, you can let go of the past, I am very pleased for my father."

"Father, what are you talking about?" Chu Ruoying lowered her head slightly, and said softly, "Although Aunt Yun is a little careless at ordinary times, it is not a big mistake. Ying'er only prohibits it because she thinks it is not good for the government to spread it. Now Now Aunt Yun is pregnant with a child, if it is a boy, my father will love it very much, that's why Ying'er is interested."

"Yesterday it was father who was sorry for your mother and daughter." Hearing this, Chu Lie felt a sense of guilt in his heart, patted Chu Ruoying's shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

Chu Ruoying shook her head slightly, and said softly: "Father is busy with government affairs, so it's okay to forget for a while, Yinger was self-willed yesterday."

A flash of satisfaction flashed across Chu Lie's eyes, he raised his head and looked towards the courtyard, his face darkened, "Where's Madam!"

"General Qi, Madam hasn't arrived yet." A guard stood up and said in a deep voice.

Chu Lie's face suddenly turned ugly, she frowned and said nothing, Chu Ruoying smiled lightly, stepped forward and said, "It's inevitable that things in the mansion will be cumbersome at the end of the year, and it's possible that madam didn't hear the news because she was busy."

With a sullen face, Chu Lie waved his hands angrily and said, "Ying'er knows the news even if she doesn't go out often, so how could she not know!"

Seeing Chu Lie's angry expression, Chu Ruoying smiled coldly from the bottom of her heart, but lowered her head pretending to be humble, and did not answer.

At this time, the government doctor withdrew his hand, and Chu Lie couldn't wait to ask: "How is the baby in the stomach?"

The doctor raised his head and glanced at Chu Lie, then cupped his hands and said, "Aunt Yun's fetus is gassy, ​​she probably ate something wrong, I wonder if Aunt Yun has taken any nourishing medicine recently?"

Chu Lie immediately raised his head and sternly said to Yin'er beside him, "Has Aunt Yun been taking any medicine recently?"

Yin'er was taken aback by Chu Lie, and knelt on the ground trembling, "Return to the general, the servants have personally checked my aunt's daily food, and no nourishing medicine has been used."

"Impossible!" the mansion doctor said with certainty, "I have been in the mansion for many years, and I haven't misdiagnosed a single illness. This Aunt Yun must have taken some nourishing medicine."

Seeing what the doctor said with certainty, Chu Lie's face darkened immediately, he looked at Yin'er and said, "Think about it carefully, has Aunt Yun been taking anything lately?"

When Yin'er heard this, she lowered her head and thought about it carefully, before she said: "My aunt has been drinking the anti-fetal medicine every morning recently. Apart from this, there is no other decoction that she has been taking all the time."

Tocolytic?Chu Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Bring the prescription and the medicine you caught!"

Yin'er immediately responded, walked out quickly, brought in the medicine left over in the past few days, and handed it to the government doctor respectfully. The doctor took the medicine package, opened it, and glanced at it casually. Surprised, he shouted, "There's something wrong with this medicine!"

Chu Lie's face darkened, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, "What's the problem?"

The doctor of the government pointed to the medicinal material in the medicine bag, sighed, and said: "This is a good medicine for preventing miscarriage, but there is an extra medicinal material in it, water pinellia, water pinellia is pungent, slightly toxin, and has the effect of removing blood stasis. The effect of reducing swelling is a great disadvantage to pregnant women!"

When everyone heard the words, they all showed shocked expressions, and Chu Lie's eyes were even more angry. Only Chu Ruoying glanced at the government doctor lightly, with a sneer that was not detectable at the corner of his mouth.

Yin'er took two steps back in shock, shaking her head and muttering, "Impossible, if I caught it with my own hands!"

The doctor suddenly looked at Yin'er with a worried expression, frowned and said, "Impossible, why is Aunt Yun's abdominal pain today!"

Yin'er didn't know what to do when she heard the words, she knelt down tremblingly, and said anxiously: "General, this medicine was caught by the servant, but the servant really didn't tamper with it! And the medicine Auntie has been drinking for a while, if there is something wrong with the medicine, it is impossible to have abdominal pain today!"

Hearing this, Chu Lie kept his face sullen and did not speak. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of panicked footsteps outside the courtyard, and a cold light flashed in Chu Ruoying's eyes. Here we come!

"Master, is Aunt Yun okay?" Mrs. Ye walked straight into the room, and when she saw Chu Ruoying, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, which disappeared in a flash, and she pretended to be anxious and said.

Chu Lie looked at her with a sullen face, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "Why are you here?"

"No one in the mansion has conceived for many years. Aunt Yun finally got pregnant. Naturally, I should be more concerned about it." Madam Ye said softly, "I was in the warehouse just now to return gifts to the various houses, and I came here when I heard the news gone."

Chu Lie's face paled slightly when he heard this, and he responded lightly, without saying another word.

"What's wrong with Aunt Yun?" Mrs. Ye looked at the people in the room and asked.

Hearing this, Li Xia immediately told the ins and outs of the matter in a low-key manner, and then immediately said: "Ma'am! This servant really didn't harm my aunt, I hope Madam will learn from her!"

Madam Ye looked at Li Xia coldly and said, "If you say it wasn't you, then who else has touched it besides you!"

Li Xia was shocked suddenly, and then remembered, just now he was worried that he would be wronged, but he forgot that the medicine was boiled by others, so he hurriedly said: "The matter of making medicine has always been handed over to the big kitchen in the mansion. Lan'er watched."

"Lan'er? Let her in!" Madam Ye said with a sullen face.

Chu Yun, who was beside Mrs. Ye, winked at the two rough women outside the door, and after a while, the two women came in dragging a maid.

"Why are you arresting me!" Lan'er continued to struggle and argued loudly.

Chu Yun immediately stepped forward, raised his hand and slapped Lan'er fiercely, "Don't kneel down when you see the general's wife!"

Lan'er was taken aback by the beating, she raised her head to look at the person, she couldn't help but knelt down, lowered her head and said: "I have seen the general, madam, young miss."

Madam Ye looked at her and said slowly, "You boiled the medicine that Aunt Yun drank?"

Lan'er nodded and said: "Yes, the daily medicines are brought by the servants after they have been boiled."

"Then did you move the hands and feet in this medicine? Did you do it!" Mrs. Ye lowered her head and looked at her coldly and shouted.

Lan'er raised her head and glanced at Madam Ye, then her face turned pale, and she argued: "No slave, no slave!"

Mrs. Ye looked at her panicked face and said loudly: "Whether you want to tell me or not, did you tamper with the medicine? If you don't tell the truth, according to the government regulations, you will be pulled out to beat [-] big boards first, and then sent to the magistrate." Go to the yamen!"

"I really don't have any slaves!" Upon hearing this, Lan'er's face turned white, and she kowtowed suddenly: "I really don't have any slaves! Auntie has been drinking medicine for nearly a month. It's already started!"

Madam Ye's face became even more serious when she heard this, she squinted her eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You said it wasn't you, then what happened when you were brewing the medicine?"

Here comes the point!

Seeing the faint urgency in Madam Ye's eyes, Chu Ruoying sneered in her heart, and a chill appeared in her eyes. Lan'er lowered her head and thought carefully for a while, then said timidly, "When I was making the medicine this morning , Qing Dai from Missy’s courtyard went, chatted with the servants for a while, and even opened the medicine jar to have a look.”

Only then did Chu Lie look at Chu Ruoying, and seeing her standing there calmly, she said slowly, "Ying'er, is Qingdai from your courtyard?"

Chu Ruoying nodded lightly, "Yes, Qingdai was given to Yinger by the madam back then, and now she is a third-class maid serving outside the courtyard."

Chu Lie nodded, "Then send someone to bring her here!"

"Naturally." Chu Ruoying nodded and said, "Since Qingdai is related to this matter and she belongs to our hospital, she should come here."

After a while, Qing Dai was brought over. When she saw the people in the courtyard, her complexion turned pale, she kowtowed her head and knelt down, "My servant has seen the general, master, young lady!"

"Qing Dai, have you touched Aunt Yun's soup today?" Chu Ruoying stepped forward, looked at Qing Dai who was kneeling in front of her, and asked.

"Back to the eldest lady, the servants have never touched it." Qing Dai lowered her head and said in a low voice.

Lan'er knelt aside and heard this, immediately rushed towards Qingdai, grabbed her head and beat her face, cursing while beating: "You bastard! You're lying! You went to the kitchen this morning, You must be trying to kill me!"

Naturally, Qing Dai was not reconciled to being beaten, the two servant girls immediately rolled into a ball, fighting and yelling and cursing, Madam Ye frowned and looked at the two of them, and shouted: "Enough! Pull them all out!"

As soon as these words came out, the two talents stopped, knelt on the spot and did not speak again.

"Qingdai! You said you haven't touched Aunt Yun's soup, so what are you doing in the kitchen this morning?" Mrs. Ye narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice.

Qingdai's face turned pale, she glanced at Chu Ruoying quietly, and said timidly: "This servant is going to the kitchen to get breakfast."

Li Xia who was on the side immediately stepped forward upon hearing the words, looked at her questioningly, and said in a deep voice: "Qing Dai, what you said is ridiculous, you are a third-class maid, when will you get the young lady's breakfast? Are all of us girls dead!"

Chu Ruoying smiled faintly, took a few steps forward, lowered her head to look at Qingdai who was kneeling there, shook her head and said, "I made a mistake just after entering the Sheng Junior Court, and I punished you severely, how dare I let you go?" Take my breakfast, Qing Dai, your lies are really unreliable."

Qingdai's face immediately revealed a look of despair, and she shook her head desperately, "What the young lady said is that it was all done by the servant girl. It was the servant girl who wanted to kill Aunt Yun's child. The young lady didn't let the servant girl to administer the medicine. It was done by slaves."

Speaking of which, who can not hear the tricks in it, everyone looked at Chu Ruoying in surprise,
Lost his voice: "Miss!"

Chu Lie stood aside with a sullen face, looking at Chu Ruoying with a calm expression, but didn't say anything. Madam Ye looked at Chu Ruoying in disbelief, and said, "Ying'er, did you kill Aunt Yun?"

Chu Ruoying's expression remained the same, she sneered in her heart, glanced at Qing Dai indifferently, and said slowly: "You said that I made you poison, so Qing Dai, what is my purpose?"

With a pale face, Qing Dai knelt there and burst into tears, "Miss, it's all done by servants, it has nothing to do with the eldest lady, it's all done by slaves!"

"Okay." Chu Ruoying turned around with a sudden smile, looked at Qing Dai fiercely, and said coldly: "Since Qing Dai has pleaded guilty, then drag her down and beat her to death!"

Qingdai's face was pale, her lips trembled, her body became cold all of a sudden, she knelt where she was, not daring to speak.

The people around were all taken aback for a moment, they didn't expect that the eldest lady, who usually looks gentle and indifferent, turned out to be a cruel one, and couldn't help but sympathize with Qing Dai who was kneeling there.

"Ying'er, in front of me and the master, you want to kill Qing Dai, do you want Qing Dai to shut up completely!" Madam Ye pretended to be angry, and kept emphasizing and accusing her sharply, "Qing Dai, what are you doing?" Tell me what grievances you have suffered, and both Mrs. Ben and the master will make decisions for you."
