Chapter 18 The Cruel Man
Before leaving, Li Ruo went to Dali Temple. The Empress Dowager was sick on the couch, and the imperial doctor Gu beside her was frowning. When she saw Li Ruo coming, her expression suddenly changed and she hurriedly stood up.
"Prince Gu." Seeing that Physician Gu packed up his things and was about to leave, Li Ruo smiled and stretched out his hand to block his way, "Physician Gu, don't rush to leave, I still have something to ask after the meeting."
Imperial Physician Gu's complexion changed, and after meeting Li Ruo's gaze, he turned his head timidly and responded softly.
The Empress Dowager was seriously ill, with a severe headache, she couldn't help humming while lying on the bed, and she didn't seem to listen to Li Ruo talking to her.Seeing this, Li Ruo had no choice but to explain a few words to others before leaving.
In the yard, Imperial Physician Gu was walking back and forth anxiously, seeing Li Ruo coming out, he immediately walked over nervously, "Princess, I don't know—"
"Why is Imperial Physician Gu nervous?" Li Ruo cast a funny glance at Imperial Physician Gu who was holding on to his cuff tightly, "By the way, when Hong Xing went to look for you last time, you seemed a little nervous too, I don't know...you What are you nervous about?"
"Elder...Eldest Princess, I don't know what you're talking about?" Imperial Physician Gu obediently avoided Li Ruo's gaze, but Li Ruo still smiled slightly.
"The queen's body has always been taken care of by you, the miscarriage last time..."
"My humble minister, my humble minister..."
"Physician Gu, I know that the prime minister is kind to you, and all sixteen of you are able to live today's life because of the prime minister's help. It's just that you need to know that the prime minister is just acquainted with you, but Everything from now on is given by the emperor!"
"Wei Chen knows."
"Know? Know and help the queen to pretend to have a miscarriage?" Li Ruo sneered.
"Wei Chen—"
"Forget it, I didn't say it at the time, and I won't say it now." Li Ruo didn't bother to pursue this matter, not to mention that without Yun Ni's move, she would have no way to send Qing Ying out of the palace, although ...
"By the way, there is something I don't quite understand." Li Ruo sent someone to check the medicines that Yun Ni was taking, and they were indeed warming and tonic medicines. Since she didn't have a miscarriage, why did she keep taking medicines? Woolen cloth? "Why is she on medication all the time?"
"The empress is weak..."
"Don't tell the truth?"
Ever since Yun Ni pretended to have a miscarriage last time, Li Ruo asked Hong Xing to check what she usually ate, but unexpectedly, she was asked to find out that Yun Ni had been taking medicine for more than a year, but the dregs of the medicine could not be completely absorbed. Seeing the usefulness of this medicine, so...
"Eldest Princess." Doctor Gu showed a timid expression on his face.
"Physician Gu, you said that if I want you to die, can you hide?"
"Hide... hide... can't hide."
"That's not telling the truth?"
"Chang..." Imperial Physician Gu knelt down timidly, "My minister, my minister really..."
"Oh, tell me."
Li Ruo smiled and pressed Doctor Gu's shoulder, only to feel his whole body tremble, and then stammered, "The empress...she is really weak."
"What's wrong?"
"Because... because the empress didn't take good care of her after giving birth, her body fell to the root of the disease, and she had to take medicine for a long time."
"Miscarriage?" Li Ruo was startled, when did Yun Ni have a miscarriage?In her mind she has always been...
Suddenly, Li Ruo swayed, as if thinking of something.
"When did the queen have a miscarriage, tell me!"
"Just... just two years ago..." Doctor Gu almost cried as he spoke, "The queen didn't tell Weichen about this until later when she became unwell. At that time... what happened at that time, Weichen really I don't know."
Li Ruo's face turned pale, but he still shouted sharply, "What else do you know! If there is any concealment, I will make your death a thousand times ugly!"
Imperial Physician Gu was so frightened that his legs became weak, "Wei... Weichen..."
"Say!"
"The queen didn't take good care of herself after her miscarriage, and her uterus suffered from cold. From now on, she will not be able to conceive." Imperial Physician Gu said more and more quietly. It has been more than a year since he knew about it. The day was frightened.
"No...can't conceive?" Li Ruo was taken aback, and when she recovered, she stretched out her hand to grab Doctor Gu's wrist.
"Princess!"
"Follow Bengong to meet Liu Guiren!"
Qingying is now sober, and the medicine Zhuge Jun gave is Wangyousan. Now she has forgotten everything, and suddenly she has become the smiling Qingying of the past.
"Elder Princess!" Qing Ying was sitting in the room embroidering flowers, when she saw Li Ruo coming, she immediately dropped the things at hand, and jumped up to Li Ruo, "Why are you here?"
"Come and see you." Seeing her flushed face now, Li Ruo glanced at Zi Qiang next to her, "Is Liu Guiren feeling better?"
"Liu Guiren is better, but... just don't remember for some reason—"
"That's right!" Qingying frowned unhappily and ran to Liruo's side, reaching out to hold her arm, "Why did Ziqiang say that I forgot many things, but refused to tell me about them? And, why am I here? Isn't this Dali Temple? I..."
"Hey, your body is just right, why do you have so many problems?" Li Ruo touched Qingying's cheek comfortingly, and smiled dotingly, "When your body is completely recovered, I will tell you what happened. What's the matter, okay?"
"I'm in good health."
"Lie down, you have such a temper, no matter how you look at it, you are a child." Taking Qingying to the side of the bed, Li Ruo helped her to lie on it, "I asked Imperial Physician Gu to diagnose your pulse, don't move." Said She winked at Imperial Physician Gu who was at the side.
After Qingying's miscarriage, the old doctor Jiang at that time only took the pulse once, saying that the uterine body was injured, and it would be difficult to conceive after that.Afterwards, Qingying was stimulated, and noisily refused to be examined by several imperial physicians who specialize in diagnosis and treatment of this matter, while Hongxing didn't like to delve into this aspect of medical theory at the beginning, so she didn't know much about it and couldn't explain it.Therefore, Li Ruo never thought that there would be other possibilities for this matter until...
"Let's talk, Liu Guiren... can she still be pregnant?" Standing in the yard, Li Ruo looked at the distance with a serious expression. The incense in Dali Temple is very strong, and even in the back mountain, you can still see the incense burning in the distance, " When "a bell rings, it shakes people's minds.
Imperial Physician Gu had already heard about Liu Guiren's infertility and thus went mad. After all, it was none other than his master, Imperial Physician Jiang, who felt his pulse that day. But for some reason, Imperial Physician Jiang returned home shortly after that, and left the capital. Could it be that Master, the old man, made a wrong diagnosis?
The possibility of this is not great. Physician Jiang has been treating this concubine's uterus in the palace for at least 20 years. How can it be wrong whether the palace is damaged or not? Could it be that he made a mistake?
Just when Imperial Physician Gu was hesitating and didn't know what to do, he heard Li Ruo yell loudly, as if he was going to break his neck if he didn't tell the truth, Imperial Physician Gu was timid, and his eyes turned Her legs softened and she fell to her knees, "Liu Guiren is in good health."
Imperial Physician Gu wanted not to tell the truth at first, but after thinking about it, this eldest princess has a strong personality, and now she must have guesses in her heart before letting herself make the diagnosis. Let her know what she really thinks, can't she just walk around because she can't eat?
"Have you checked it out?" Li Ruo frowned, seeing that Doctor Gu felt panicked.
Could it be that I was wrong again?
"I... my humble minister..."
"Trash!" Li Ruo flicked his sleeves and dusted Doctor Gu's face.She turned around and strode towards the house, Qingying probably was sleepy after making a lot of noise just now, when Li Ruo passed, she was still leaning against the bed and fell asleep.
Li Ruo winked at Zi Qiang, and worked together to make her lie flat on the bed.
"Remember, don't mention what happened in the palace in front of Liu Guiren." Li Ruo was about to leave after giving instructions. Seeing that Doctor Gu was still guarding outside tremblingly, she couldn't help but cast a cold glance, "Get lost!"
When Li Ruo left Dali Temple, it was already dusk.
Although today I learned that Qing Ying is not incapable of being a mother, but Li Ruo just can't be happy, she just feels heavy in her heart, as if something is pressing on her chest, making her unable to breathe at all.
Yun Ni, Xiao Chan...
On the way down the mountain, Li Ruo only felt that his footsteps were sloppy for a while, and he almost fell in a trance.
"Eldest princess, the queen's abdominal pain is unbearable, and she really is about to faint." That night seemed extraordinarily long, and Li Ruo suddenly received the news that Qingying had a cold and high fever, and after rushing into the palace in the middle of the night, All the imperial physicians who were watching the night were called.
"Liu Guiren has a high fever now, and his life is at stake. The empress is just suffering from abdominal pain, bear with it." At that time, Li Ruo was so anxious that he could not help saying angrily when he saw the palace man not going for a long time, "If the empress insists on doing this, then go to the emperor's place and let the emperor Come here and order someone to recruit the Moon Palace!"
That night, it was extremely cold, Li Ruo stayed guarded in front of Qingying's palace gate all night, Li Su seemed to have to discuss important matters with the prime minister in detail, so he had to send wave after wave of people to persuade Li Ruo to take a good rest But if Li Ruo didn't want to, he insisted on sitting all night until Qing Ying's fever subsided.
Pulling away from the memory, Li Ruo paused, stood at the foot of the mountain and looked back at the Dali Temple which was already far behind.
She still remembered that when Tian Weiliang was about to leave the palace, she heard the little eunuch say that the queen had been in pain all night, and finally passed out from the pain. Fortunately, there was a palace man in the palace, otherwise she would have died of pain.
If Li didn't care, it was just a stomachache, what kind of serious illness could it be?
Now that I think about it, could it be...
After a pause, Li Ruo turned her head to look at the Dali Temple behind her, feeling uneasy for no reason.
She never thought that innocent people would suffer because of her, Yun Ni...
Li Ruo wanted to go back to the palace, but stopped at the next moment.
"Heh." Li Ruo pulled the corner of his lips to show a wry smile, but finally walked out of the city.
In this harem, who can say that they are innocent?Since she sat on the queen's position, she was doomed to suffer this kind of suffering.Just like the queen mother back then, she was thrown into the cold palace just like that, and given a cup of poisonous soup just like that. Isn't she innocent?
The only feeling of guilt disappeared in his heart in just a moment, Li Ruo looked up at the sunset, it was getting late, and he had to leave the city before the city gate closed.
Li Ruo's mind was in chaos, he drove the horse all the way, galloped all the way, and finally arrived at the city gate before the city gate closed.
"Yin Rong?" Beside the half-closed city gate, Li Ruole stopped his horse and looked at Yin Rong who was standing beside him with some puzzlement, "Why are you here?"
Yin Rong frowned and said with a smile, "waiting for you."
