Chapter 139 Male Fetus
Liu Yuetang said in a gentle voice: "Since the child is here, it must be destined for you. The imperial physician will check your pulse every other day, so don't worry."
Rong Jieyu looked up at Liu Yuetang, a smile in the corners of her eyes, her eyes dark, "Sister, do you know why Concubine Yu can't get pregnant?"
Liu Yuetang was slightly stunned. The fact that Concubine Rong could ask this question was enough to prove that Concubine Yu’s infertility for many years was not God’s will, but man-made.
She thought for a moment: "Is it the emperor?"
The first person that came to her mind was Xiao Heng. In order to prevent the military generals from becoming powerful, emperors would not allow their concubines to become pregnant, so as to prevent the family from further expanding its power with the help of the princes and posing a threat to the throne.
But Concubine Rong smiled and shook her head.
"The Emperor was very kind to Concubine Yu in the past, especially during the time when her mother passed away. Therefore, the Emperor will not be so cruel as to deprive Concubine Yu of her rights as a mother."
Looking at Concubine Rong's smiling face, Liu Yuetang gradually understood.
She looked slightly surprised: "Sister, what you mean is..."
Rong Jieyu's eyes curved into a crescent shape. She did not answer, but just smiled faintly at Liu Yuetang.
"Although Concubine Yu has been using me, my rise from humble beginnings as a concubine to the position of Concubine is inseparable from her support. But if she has an heir, I, a chess piece, will be a discarded piece to her. A discarded piece that knows too many secrets will only end up dead."
Liu Yuetang sighed. In Concubine Yu's heart, perhaps Concubine Rong was just a chess piece to help her have a child.
But it was this chess piece that invisibly took away her mother's rights.
This shows how deep Rong Jieyu's thoughts are.
"Sister, why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the emperor and the empress?" Liu Yuetang tilted her head slightly with a playful smile.
Rong Jieyu chuckled: "I have said before, if you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. Since I plan to cooperate with you that day, I will trust you wholeheartedly."
"Besides, I believe my sister will not tell the emperor or empress."
After all, Concubine Yu is their common enemy.
Moreover, Liu Yuetang did not have sufficient evidence.
Words are not enough.
Liu Yuetang nodded: "People like my sister will definitely achieve great things."
Rong Jieyu moved her hands on her belly and said, "What great things can I accomplish? I just want to give birth to my baby safely. I don't ask for anything else."
When this matter was mentioned, Concubine Rong's expression suddenly became serious. "By the way, does my sister have any trusted imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital?"
Liu Yuetang was silent for a moment and shook her head.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, she will not let anyone know that Doctor Shen is hers.
What's more, she is Concubine Rong.
Their cooperative relationship is just a short one, and they might become enemies one day in the future.
Rong Jieyu frowned slightly and sighed, "The Jade Concubine always sends tonics to my palace, and sometimes she even makes sure I drink them before letting the maids leave. I want my sister to ask the imperial physician if I continue to do this, will the baby be large and difficult to deliver."
The doctor Wen who is taking care of her now is Concubine Yu's man, so she cannot trust him.
Seeing this, Liu Yuetang said, “Although I don’t have any confidants, I can ask Doctor Shen, who took my pulse, and then send a palace maid to tell my sister.”
Rong Jieyu quickly bowed her head and thanked her, "Thank you very much, sister."
The next day, Doctor Shen happened to come to check Ping An's pulse.
Liu Yuetang asked, and it turned out to be just as Concubine Rong said.
If the fetus is of normal size, pregnant women should not take supplements, otherwise the fetus will be too large and delivery may be difficult.
On this day, Ruolan came with nourishing soup as usual.
Ruolan opened the food box and said, "This is the old pigeon that our queen specially found for you. We added red dates and astragalus to it. Please drink it while it's hot."
Rong Jieyu took the jade bowl from her hand. The warm temperature fell on her fingertips, but it was extremely hot.
How could she still drink bowl after bowl of poison?
I watched as Concubine Rong took two sips from the bowl, then suddenly put the bowl down, bent over and vomited out a few mouthfuls of soup.
Yingxiang was so scared that she quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe it.
Ruolan frowned and asked, "What's wrong, young master?"
Yingxiang replied distressedly, "Aunt, you may not know, our young master has been suffering from morning sickness recently. She vomits whenever she smells anything greasy or meaty. I'm afraid we've let down Concubine Yu's kindness."
Ruolan looked at Concubine Rong and saw that she was holding her chest and breathing heavily, and it didn't seem like she was pretending.
"Since you can't drink, wait until you feel better before drinking. I won't bother you anymore."
Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, Rong Jieyu slowly raised her eyes, her eyes like ice cones, staring coldly at Ruolan's back.
Seeing Ruolan leaving Huayin Palace, Yingxiang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lady, what should we do if Concubine Yu sends it again?"
Rong Jieyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Then I will vomit in front of the emperor. Although the emperor values offspring, he is not a cold-blooded person. Knowing that I will vomit after taking supplements, he will not let Concubine Yu send me anymore."
The most important thing is that there is nothing wrong with the things that Concubine Yu gave.
Therefore, in the eyes of the six palaces, they thought that Concubine Yu only wanted to raise the child in her belly, which was why she attached so much importance to it and sent all the good things to Huayin Palace.
On the other side, Concubine Yu was immediately angry when she found out that Concubine Rong vomited after drinking the tonic soup.
"This bitch! She's as cautious as ever."
Ruolan asked in a low voice: "Then, Madam, will we send you again in the future?"
Yu Fei paced back and forth in thought for a moment, then a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "No need to send me off."
"If she doesn't want to drink what I send her, then I will order the imperial kitchen to prepare a good drink for her."
There are more than just supplements to help with pregnancy.
Lychees, durian, potatoes, beans, and fish are all good things for pregnancy.
Ruolan smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Concubine Yu curled her lips sinisterly.
If you want to blame someone, blame her for being so ambitious that her first child was a prince.
Otherwise, I wouldn't care so much.
In the Jinyuan Palace, the imperial physician was taking Ping An's pulse.
Concubine Yan winked at the palace maid Ping'er.
The maid nodded in understanding and walked towards the palace entrance.
Concubine Yan looked at Doctor Li and said gently, "Doctor Li, I heard that pregnant women can't use musk?"
"Exactly. Musk has the effect of promoting menstruation and blood circulation. Long-term use can cause miscarriage or premature birth."
Yan Jieyu's eyes turned darkly: "Then if I touch it, it will be okay?"
Doctor Li put away his pulse diagnosis bag and said, "It's okay to touch it, but since the young lady is pregnant, it's best not to touch those things."
Concubine Yan frowned and sighed softly, "I've heard that a concubine once had a miscarriage after accidentally smelling musk, so I'm very afraid... I'm afraid that I might accidentally use musk."
As she spoke, she fluttered her long eyelashes softly, very charmingly: "The palace is a dangerous place, I'm sure Imperial Physician Li is also aware of this."
Imperial Physician Li bowed quickly and said, "I will do my utmost to take care of you during this pregnancy. I understand your concerns, but everything you eat and drink has been carefully checked. I will also come to check your pulse every other day. Even if you accidentally used musk, I would have noticed."
Yan Jieyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good, that's good..."
She was about to say something when Ping'er's voice rang out, "Sister Xianglan, the imperial physician is inside taking the young lady's pulse."
Yan Jieyu swallowed what she was about to say.
