Chapter 38 Fang Meiren's Pregnancy is Unstable

Not long after taking the medicine, Wen Wanyu fell asleep again. When he woke up again, it was already night.

My head is still dizzy.

At this time, "Awake?"

Xie Junyao was sitting on a chair beside her, reading a book. When he saw her wake up, he put down the book and went over to hold her hand. "Are you feeling any worse?"

Wen Wanyu acted coquettishly: "I feel uncomfortable everywhere, but I feel much better after seeing the emperor."

Xie Junyao smiled and pinched her face: "You only know how to be smooth-talking."

"Wanwan."

"Um?"

"You were wronged yesterday."

Even before he knew the whole story, Xie Junyao's heart had already begun to deviate. So when he learned that it was Concubine Xu who was deliberately making things difficult for him and venting her dissatisfaction, Xie Junyao was furious.

In a fit of anger, he no longer cared what the Shangshu's family thought and demoted Concubine Xu's position.

Wen Wanyu lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I am not wronged. On the contrary, I have made things difficult for Your Majesty."

Look how thoughtful she is. Even at this time, she still feels embarrassed about making him feel awkward.

Xie Junyao felt that he was not mistaken, and from now on he was even more certain of protecting her. "Why is Wanwan so obedient?"

"Your Majesty, my lady, the medicine has been prepared." Siyun walked in with a bowl of black medicine.

Just by smelling it, you know it must be bitter.

Wen Wanyu's face suddenly drooped.

Xie Junyao's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Don't want to drink?"

Wen Wanyu nodded vigorously. His eyes held a hint of anticipation. "Your Majesty, can you please not drink?"

"No." Xie Junyao answered decisively. He had hesitated for a moment when he saw her tender eyes.

Wen Wanyu became listless and whispered, "But this medicine is really bitter. I just drank it before going to bed, and now I have to drink it again."

Xie Junyao held him in his arms and sat on his lap: "Good medicine tastes bitter. How can you get better if you don't take it? Be good."

Xie Junyao always felt like he was coaxing his own daughter. The little person in his arms was exactly like Yu'er and Yue'er when they were sick, making a fuss about not wanting to take medicine and complaining that there were too many pills to take in a day.

Isn't it 'daughter'?

Seeing that she was still pouting, her face was full of resistance.

"Go get some candied fruit." Xie Junyao instructed Siyun.

"yes."

Xie Junyao looked down at her: "Can you take your medicine properly now?"

Wen Wanyu then nodded reluctantly.

"I see you're like a three-year-old child. Should I arrange for you and Yu'er to go to school together next year?"

Although he was harsh in his words, there was no trace of blame in his tone.

Wen Wanyu took the medicine, took a deep breath, and drank it all in one gulp without pausing. This left Xie Junyao stunned.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Wen Wanyu was breathing heavily, as if she had just done some physical labor. Only when she tasted the sweetness of the candied fruit did she feel alive again.

Xie Junyao took out a handkerchief and wiped the medicine from the corner of her mouth, teasing her: "I thought you would beg me to feed you."

“…” Wen Wanyu was speechless.

"A short pain is worse than a long pain."

After staying with her for a while, Xie Junyao held her and laid her on the bed. He tucked the corners of the quilt and said softly, "Have a good rest. I'll come to see you again tomorrow."

Wen Wanyu stretched out her arm, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and begged, "Your Majesty, can you wait until I fall asleep before leaving?"

Her clear eyes sparkled with anticipation, making one want to agree to all her requests.

Xie Junyao's slightly parted lips were tinged with a barely perceptible tenderness, his gaze resting quietly on her: "Go to sleep, I'm here with you."

Wen Wanyu closed her eyes.

Xie Junyao stared at her face.

She seemed to have a kind of magic, like a flower in bud, ready to bloom, making people want to hold up a refreshing sea of ​​flowers for her, and willing to part the clouds for her, so that the sun can shine on her again.

Ever since Concubine Fang became pregnant, her fetus had been unstable, and she had been bedridden, taking medication daily to maintain her pregnancy. She still complained of stomach pains from time to time, and the imperial physicians were unable to see her. The Empress, helpless, handed over full responsibility to Concubine Hui and Concubine De. Even when Concubine Yu was pregnant, she wasn't as restless as she was.

Defei had given birth before, so she immediately knew what Concubine Fang was thinking. She simply wanted to see the emperor. But she overestimated her position in the emperor's heart.

The emperor sent someone to say: If you don’t want to have a baby, the Imperial Hospital has plenty of abortion pills.

Lady Fang stopped struggling immediately.

As usual that day, Lady Fang took the medicine to maintain her pregnancy.

In just half a minute, Lady Fang said she had unbearable abdominal pain and blood was seen from her body.

This matter soon alarmed the Queen, Concubine Hui and Concubine De.

The imperial physician's abortion-preserving medicine had an additional ingredient, Five Elements Herb. Fortunately, the amount of Five Elements Herb in the abortion-preserving medicine was small, and Concubine Fang was able to avoid a miscarriage.

Purslane is also known as Portulaca oleracea. It has the effects of dispersing blood and reducing swelling, detoxifying and relieving stranguria, treating postpartum sweating, clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, and dispersing blood stasis and reducing swelling.

At the same time, purslane is a cold thing.

Because of its cold and slippery nature, it is not suitable for consumption in early pregnancy, especially for those with a history of habitual miscarriage.

Ingestion may cause miscarriage.

Concubine Hui called the head of the Imperial Household Department and the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau. The head of the Imperial Household Department checked the records and said that only Concubine Wan of Jinxiu Palace and Jin Fangyi of Baiyu Pavilion asked for these two prescriptions.

The chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau agreed. A few days ago, Concubine Wan and Jin Fangyi did indeed consult an imperial physician because of an imbalance of yin and yang in their bodies and excessive internal heat.

The prescription written by the imperial physician also included purslane.

Concubine Hui and Concubine De called all the concubines to Jiyue Tower.

When Concubine Wan learned that she was involved in this matter, she immediately rushed over and explained, "For many years, I have been prone to excessive internal heat. Doctor Shi can testify to this. He has always been the one to check my pulse and check for safety. This prescription was also written by Doctor Shi."

Concubine Hui and Concubine De had no choice but to invite Doctor Shi again.

This is indeed true.

Jin Fangyi, who was also suspected, had a more labored explanation: "I was also feeling a little irritated a few days ago. I didn't know that purslane was included in the prescription. I have never read medical books, and I don't know the effects of purslane."

Concubine Hui looked at Concubine De, and Concubine De looked at Concubine Hui.

I don't know how to deal with this.

The Queen looked through the records and found that in the past half month, only Concubine Wan and Jin Fangyi had taken purslane.

Therefore, the problem could only lie with them. Who could it be?

Just when she was hesitating, Jin Fangyi produced a key piece of evidence:

"Your Majesty, my medicine residue is still buried in the backyard. Your Majesty can send someone to check on it."

Concubine Wan disagreed: "My medicine residue is also buried under the tree in the backyard. The Empress will find it once she investigates."
