Four palaces, incense altars.
Looking at the information in his hand, Mo Qihan furrowed his thick eyebrows, thought for a long time, and decisively ordered: "Wuji, ask Sikong to come to see this king!"
"Yes, master!" Wuji exited.
Soon, the steward Si Kongliang came in, clasped his fists, and said respectfully: "Master, the slave is here!"
"Ling Beiyuan secretly contacted Ling Beiyuan these few days, you met him, this king just got accurate information, there is no private relationship between Ling Beiyuan and Mo Qiming, but Ling Beiyuan is investigating this king alone, this king guessed that he should be suspicious The death of the eldest brother is related to this king, but this king suddenly passed away from an illness, which made him suspicious, so he made a secret investigation. You act by chance, and while you can't leak the truth, try to figure out his true purpose." Mo Qihan said in a deep voice. Said.
After being slightly surprised, the butler nodded, "Yes, master, the slave understands."
At sunset, sleet was suddenly floating in the sky, accompanied by a few gusts of wind, the petals of the plum trees in the courtyard were knocked down all over the place, all red, lying on the white snow flakes, gorgeous and dazzling.
Mo Qihan stepped out of the room, and the housekeeper hurried over, anxiously, "Master, it's not OK, the princess suddenly feels sick and vomiting."
"What?" Mo Qihan was startled, his face changed abruptly, "Isn't it all right in the afternoon? Why did you suddenly get sick? Has it been passed on?"
"Master, the little prince has sent someone to go to the imperial physician. During lunch, the princess didn’t eat much. She said that she had a bad appetite. So the servant ordered the dining room to make some preserved egg porridge that the princess likes to eat. The servant just used it. The silver needle has been tested and it is not poisonous, and the minion can't figure out why it suddenly happened, could it be..."
The butler stopped his voice abruptly, raised his eyes and looked at Mo Qihan in surprise. Mo Qihan was shocked. After a few seconds, he realized that his face turned pale and frowned, "No, this king does it every time. Those who take the medicine should not get pregnant..."
"Master, what should I do now? Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the doctor comes, take a pulse, if the princess is really..." The butler did not dare to go on, bowed his head and waited for Mo Qihan's order.
Mo Qihan flicked the brocade robe and entered the house. The butler hurriedly followed, and walked on the spot. Mo Qihan's heart was numb for a moment. It is not time to make it public. If Ling Xueman is really...that will undoubtedly give Mo Qiming the help. A powerful excuse to fall the Four Palaces, and Ling Xueman will face unprecedented danger, the father will not spare her, and if he stands up, all the bureaus set before will be in vain!
Big brother's hatred, how to avenge his hatred
The fist was squeezed tighter, and suddenly, Mo Qihan paused, and his anxious eyes gradually calmed down. Instead, they were stunned, cold and cruel! "Sikong, ask the emperor to check the pulse!"
"Master?" The butler raised his eyes in astonishment, "Then if the result of the diagnosis is..."
Mo Qihan's lips curled up with a sneer, "It's okay, if he wants to fight, this king will fight with him!"
"Master, what should I do with the little prince?" The butler asked with his eyes tight.
"The little prince will definitely protect the princess. This treasure of this king is on the little prince. You can watch the changes and send Chuntang Qiuyue to report at any time."
"Yes, the minion retire!"
The room calmed down again, and Mo Qihan's expression returned to his usual expression. He only frowned and looked out the window, but his heart was painful. He could not be by her side when she was sick...
Children...Are there going to be children between them? No, no, his contraceptive measures have always been good, but it seems that her menstruation has not been here for a long time...
Shushui Garden.
"Mother, you drink some water first, the doctor is coming soon." Mo Lixuan patted Ling Xueman's back while taking the water cup from Qiuyue and sending it to Ling Xueman's mouth.
Ling Xueman took a few sips, her face pale and terribly pale, almost all of what he ate was thrown up, and her stomach was still very nauseous, weakly leaning on the soft pillow, and she didn't have the energy to speak.
"Mother, I think you may have a cold, and the quilt is tightly covered." Mo Lixuan put down the water cup, twisted the corner of the quilt tightly, and thought for a while: "Chuntang Qiuyue, set up the stove and take another small Come to the stove."
"Yes, little prince!" The two maids agreed and hurried out.
Ling Xueman tilted her head and thought about things in a daze. In fact, she didn't seem to have a lot of hair, so she sneaked to Moon Lake to play in the snow in the morning, but this body is not so weak, right
"Xuan'er, you are also a child, how can you take care of others so carefully?" Ling Xueman barely squeezed out a smile, reached out and touched Mo Lixuan's face, sighing with emotion, in this life, there can be a man who loves him deeply. , There is another son who has no blood relationship but regards her as a treasure, what can the husband ask for
"Mother, Xuan'er is no longer a child. Xuan'er will be ten years old immediately after the Chinese New Year, and will soon be an adult!" Mo Lixuan frowned, took a towel and smeared Ling Xueman's sweat on his forehead. Some dissatisfied said.
"Child...hehe..." Ling Xue smiled and smiled, suddenly "cuckled" in her heart, her smile disappeared completely, her current symptoms, shouldn't it be, won't it be...
The hands in the quilt were twisted together, unconsciously twisted very tightly, the sweat on the forehead seeped more, it was cold sweat, and the face that had already turned pale was white again at this moment. There was almost no blood.
"Xuan'er!"
With a sudden cry, Mo Lixuan hurriedly raised his head from the hot towel-soaked basin, and said in confusion, "Mother, what's the matter?"
"Don't let the doctor come, I'm fine, don't need to see the doctor." Ling Xueman said quickly, her expression firm.
"Mother, you have to be behaved and obedient. The imperial doctor came just to diagnose the pulse. It must be a cold, or else you will have a cold. You have to prescribe some prescriptions and take medicine." Mo Lixuan was patient. Persuaded, took the soaked towel and lifted the corner of the quilt, and carefully wiped the back of Ling Xueman's palms and hands.
"No, I don't want to see a doctor, I am not sick." Ling Xueman was a little anxious, but instead held Mo Lixuan's hand and said eagerly.
Mo Lixuan pressed his lips lightly, and continued to persuade helplessly, "Mother, don't worry, it won't be a serious illness. Although the medicine is ugly, but it cures the disease. If you think the medicine is bitter, Xuan'er will drink it with you. It won’t be bitter if you take medicine and eat some preserves."
"No, Xuan'er, I...I..." Ling Xueman quickly cried, she didn't know what to say, she really didn't know what to do, her heart was flustered and helpless, Liushen had no master, at this moment, she was the only one, no one to help her , What should she do!
The knock on the door suddenly sounded at this time, and the housekeeper's voice came from outside, "Little Prince, Doctor Liu is here."
Ling Xueman's body shook, her face stiffened, and she looked straight out of the screen, forgetting to turn her eyes.
Mo Lixuan was overjoyed, and said hurriedly, "Hurry up!"
The door opened, and a middle-aged imperial physician, who was about forty years old, came in, with a wide face, a Chinese character face, and a medium body. He knelt down respectfully and greeted him, "I have seen the little prince! I have seen the princess!"
The butler also walked in and stood quietly aside.
"Doctor Liu, please, please help my mother. She keeps vomiting. Is the cold air invading her lungs?" Mo Lixuan moved his seat and sat on the corner of the bed with a worried expression on his face. .
"Xie Xiaowang!"
Doctor Liu got up, took a step closer, and sat on the round stool beside the bed, "Wang Hao, please stretch out your right wrist, and the lower officer will cut the pulse for you."
Ling Xue stared at the doctor sluggishly, her expression even more stiff. She wanted to say that there was no need to check the pulse, but under the calm but sharp gaze of the doctor Liu, her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't make a sound. Come.
And Mo Lixuan was also urging, "Mother, let the imperial doctor take a look."
Ling Xueman still didn't respond, her eyes were dull and dull.
The butler looked indifferent and said softly, "The imperial doctor, my princess has been in danger before and has declared the imperial doctor several times. There should be some shadow in my heart. The imperial doctor should not be anxious."
After the words fell, he looked at Ling Xueman and smiled faintly, "Wang Hao, don't be afraid in my heart, just let the emperor see, Wang Hao's body will be fine."
Invisibly, it seemed to imply that Ling Xueman was like Ling Xueman. Ling Xueman raised her eyes blankly and looked at the housekeeper. She couldn't tell what it was like. This housekeeper is also an elusive person, just like her concubine. Qing can't guess it.
Suddenly, she wanted to take a gamble. Rather than being evasive and suspicious, she might as well be generous. Even if she is really pregnant, there are only Li Xuan, the housekeeper, the imperial physician and her in this room. If she asks for Li Xuan Li Xuan should protect her and not let them speak out. She will look for opportunities to destroy the child...
"Doctor, you can see it!"
The white right wrist stretched out and placed it on the cotton pillow prepared by Doctor Liu, and Doctor Liu slowly stretched out her hand to cut her pulse.
The room was extremely quiet, Ling Xueman sighed, and secretly tightened his collar nervously. The palms of his hands had become soggy, it turned out to be fine sweat.
Mo Lixuan stared at the imperial doctor's hand. The butler's face seemed calm, but his heart was very anxious. As the master expected, he was afraid that the princess would be excited about it!
As if time had passed for a long time, when Ling Xueman's heart was about to pop out of his throat, Grand Doctor Liu finally took his hand, with a serious expression. He looked at Ling Xueman and then at Mo Lixuan. He wanted to talk but stopped.
Ling Xueman's heart suddenly became cold, and his brain began to buzz, unable to utter a word in his throat.
Mo Lixuan was anxious, "Doctor Liu, is my mother cold?"
"Little Prince, Xiaguan... I don't know." The doctor Liu slowly stood up and lowered his head, "What is I don't know? You are a doctor, and you have been diagnosed for a long time. Why don't you know what my mother is?" Mo Li Xuan was angry, and stood up, questioning.
Madam Liu knelt down, still bowing his head, and his voice was much lower, "Go back to the little prince, the officer dare not deceive the little prince, the princess's disease... the officer can't tell."
"Why can't you tell? Did my mother have a serious illness?" Mo Lixuan became anxious when he heard it, and looked back at Ling Xueman's sluggish expression. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and lowered his voice, "Doctor Liu, come with me." ."
"Yes, little prince!" Doctor Liu nodded, and there was a sneer that was imperceptible across her eyes.
Mo Lixuan took Doctor Liu to the hall, and the housekeeper followed. When he left, he closed the door tightly. Chuntang Qiuyue had not returned yet, and only Ling Xueman was left in Nuo Da's bedroom.
Lying in a daze, the right hand hanging outside slowly retracted into the quilt, and he unconsciously stroked his abdomen, imagining wildly that a little life might have been conceived here, a little baby belonging to her and her concubine. , But, if it is true, this poor child might not survive anyway...
The tears fell suddenly, and I couldn’t help it. I covered my face with my hands. I didn’t dare to make a sound. I just suppressed crying. The tears fell from my fingers and kept falling...
A gentle footstep sounded in his ears, Ling Xueman did not raise his head, but arched his legs, buried his head in, and still shrugged his shoulders.
A big cold hand stroked the hair on Ling Xueman's forehead. Ling Xueman thought it was Mo Lixuan in a daze, so he didn't move, and said vaguely: "Xuan'er, mother is dying, isn't it?"
"Long Man!"
The visitor uttered two words lightly, and his long body sat down by the bed.
Ling Xueman's body suddenly shook, suddenly raised her head, tears in her eyes, a man in a crescent-white long gown, covered with a face towel, stared at her close at hand, it was not dark yet, the room was very bright, she knew Seeing that those eyes were the same as those of him in the woods that day, and the long, familiar voice!
"Hey!" Ling Xueman lifted the quilt and plunged into Mo Qihan's arms, tears flowed faster, "Yes, is it you? Is it really you?"
"Yes, I'm here, long, don't cry, don't be afraid of anything, I'm by your side." Mo Qihan hugged the trembling person in his arms, softly coaxing.
Ling Xueman cried for a while, then suddenly remembered that he was busy and straightened up, and looked out of the screen nervously, "My wife, how did you come in? You leave now, it's not dark now, why are you brave enough to come? For a while? It's time for Li Xuan and the steward to be back, so hurry up!"
"Manman, you..." Mo Qihan opened his mouth, and Ling Xueman eagerly pushed him out, "Go, let people see you, can you still go?"
"Manman!" Mo Qihan clasped Ling Xueman's hands, put it to his lips through the face towel and kissed him, whispering: "They won't come back for a while. I know you are sick, and I'm afraid you will think about it. Come to comfort you. Don’t worry, you won’t be pregnant, trust me! Don’t mess yourself up. You can tell that something is wrong at a glance. You know? If the doctor says you’re unclean. If you are pregnant, you can justly accuse him, straighten your waist, let Li Xuan support you, and find another doctor to check your pulse, even if you ask for a body check to show your innocence, you can take care of you. Sincerely, I won’t do it like this. Instead, I’ll put all charges on the emperor’s head. I will arrange for the doctor who is looking for another doctor. He will really see you. Regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, he will only say that you are not pregnant. For nothing, as for the real result, I'll talk about it when I come tonight."
"Really, I really won't be pregnant? Concubine, I'm so scared, can you really arrange for a doctor to come in for the housekeeper to find? If you want to declare another imperial doctor?" Ling Xueman decided a lot, but still Worried.
"Manman, still that sentence, believe me! I won't put you on the cusp of the storm. If you really have our child in your stomach, I will try to keep him, keep you, and nothing will happen to anyone."
At this moment, looking at Ling Xueman’s helplessness, Mo Qihan suddenly felt that the responsibilities on his shoulders became heavier again. Really, if she had his flesh and blood, he would not bear to hurt her body and take away the child. As a last resort, he can only see his father secretly!
The firmness in Mo Qihan's eyes inspired Ling Xueman deeply. She raised her sleeve and wiped a handful of tears in her eyes, "Concubine, I know, don't worry!"
"Yeah." Mo Qihan nodded and hugged Ling Xueman again with satisfaction, "Manman, I'm leaving, you close your eyes and go to sleep, don't look at me, you know?"
"Ok."
"In a word, to make others believe you, first you have to believe that you are the perfect body, remember?"
"remember."
"I am leaving."
Mo Qi hugged Ling Xueman and lay down, covered her with a quilt, and when she watched her turn her back, he smiled lightly and stepped out.
In the hall.
Mo Lixuan was in the upper seat, and the butler was on the side. The maids served tea, and Mo Lixuan sent the people out. Then he asked: "Doctor Liu, what is my mother's illness? You just say it's okay! "
"Little prince, if the official said it, it would be a death penalty! Therefore, please call on the little prince to announce another imperial doctor and have a consultation together!" Madam Liu stood below, bowed, and said with his head bowed.
Mo Lixuan frowned, his anxiety in his heart became more and more serious, his tone inevitably brought a little anger, "Doctor Liu, I let you say it now!"
Madam Liu trembled, and his head lowered for a minute, "Back to the little prince, Xu is that the official medical skills are awkward and the academic skills are not good. The next official diagnosis of the princess seems to be...like...happy pulse!"
"what!"
Mo Lixuan stood up, his face turned pale in an instant, and his body shook a few times. The butler hurriedly supported him and said sternly: "Doctor Liu, how can you defile the honor of my princess!"
Mo Lixuan stepped down the steps quickly, stood in front of Doctor Liu, grabbed him by the collar, and said fiercely, "Doctor Liu, are you sure that you did not make a mistake? Do you know that my father did not come to the church? I've already gone, how could my mother... be the happiest!"
"Little prince, dare not go to the next official! It is precisely because the next official knows that he asked the little prince to announce another emperor's doctor for a second diagnosis!" The doctor Liu was panicked, sweating on his forehead.
"Little prince, how can the princess do such a thing under the care of the slaves and the little prince day and night? It must be that the doctor Liu is a quack, who is indiscriminately visiting the doctor, or is instigated by someone to defile the princess Insulting the spirit of the prince in the sky, the little prince can take the doctor Liu to confront the princess to find out the truth!" the housekeeper said indignantly.
Doctor Liu suddenly raised his head, looked at the housekeeper, and said coldly: "Okay, the housekeeper of the Four Palaces is also a powerful person. The lower official just said that he only suspects that it is a happy pulse and has not been diagnosed. It is necessary to confront each other. , There is nothing wrong, the next official accepts."
"Doctor Liu, you are so brave!" Mo Lixuan flicked his hand by the collar, and Doctor Liu staggered back and knelt on the ground.
The harsh gaze beyond his age was shown on Mo Lixuan's body, staring at Doctor Liu, indifferent, "Go to see the princess, and ask what is going on!"
When he returned to the bedroom, Chuntang Qiuyue had already returned and was waiting for Ling Xueman to drink water.
"Mother, are you better now?" Mo Lixuan sat on the side of the bed, reached out and probed Ling Xueman's forehead, and asked softly.
Ling Xueman chuckled and shook his head, and said in a relaxed tone: "Xuan'er, I'm okay. It's not uncomfortable at the moment. How about, what kind of illness am I? Is it a serious illness?"
Hearing this, Mo Lixuan relaxed for a while, and shook his head, "Mother, it's not uncomfortable. It was the doctor Liu misdiagnosed, and the result of the pulse diagnosis is suspected to be Ximai."
"What? Ximai!" Ling Xueman choked out with a sip of water, "Ahem, what bitch dare to say that I am Ximai! Grandma aunt or a big girl!"
"Mother!" Mo Lixuan rushed to pat her on the back, and reprimanded: "Doctor Liu, immediately apologize to the princess! Otherwise, the king will report to the emperor tomorrow and you will be punished!"
For the first time, Mo Lixuan proclaimed himself "the king", this name naturally carries a strong deterrent!
Doctor Liu was shocked by Ling Xueman's very natural reaction. His legs were soft again, and he knelt on the ground and stammered: "Wang Hao forgive me! The lower official has misdiagnosed, and the lower official convicted the guilty. Please beg the princess for mercy!"
"Misdiagnosis?" When Ling Xueman heard this, he was furious, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and stood in front of the doctor Liu, coldly roaring: "Where are you from the barefoot doctor? I can't even be sure whether it's a happy pulse or not. , Why are you a doctor! With a few heads on your neck, dare to say that grandma is happy? Why don't you go to the nun's nunnery and say that the nun is happy! Damn, grandma will convince you today!"
Ling Xueman panted heavily, glared at him, turned his head and said: "Li Xuan, if an imperial physician’s diagnosis is inaccurate, then find another one. No, you can simply find me doctors from all over the capital. Anyone who is studying medicine, if you are not Ordinary Ximai can’t be diagnosed clearly, so what kind of doctor do you still have? Do you still have the face to be the imperial doctor in the palace? Also, my innocent body is not to be insulted. Please find a maid for me to check on my body!"
After he finished speaking, his fierce gaze returned to the imperial doctor who was kneeling on his feet again, “Mr. Liu, you can’t tell me earlier. I thought I had an incurable disease. I was so frightened that I didn’t even dare to suffocate. I spent a long time. , You actually made such a big joke for my grandma! After the doctor's consultation, the mother has had her body examined. Today, grandma will drag the sick body into the palace with you and ask for the emperor's judgement!"
Madam Liu's forehead has been knocked to the ground, and her face has already turned pale in Ling Xueman's righteous roars, and she kept kowtowing to ask the crime, "The princess, forgive me! The princess, forgive me!"
