As the Queen's confidant, Jiang Yuanzheng was also sent to take Wei Shuyi's pulse and protect her pregnancy. When the "enemies" meet, there is bound to be another verbal battle.
"My lady, you are truly blessed! You have repeatedly committed crimes, but you have always been able to clear your name. God has shown mercy and even allowed you to conceive a dragon heir! Such good fortune is truly admirable to me!"
"Knowing she's the reincarnation of a lucky star, how dare you be so sarcastic?" Liang Cairen happened to walk in from outside. "Aren't you afraid she'll complain to the heavens and take away your fortune as well?"
"you……"
Dean Jiang seemed to be extremely afraid of Liang Cairen. He was about to retort, but when he saw who the person was, he stopped talking.
Wei Shuyi tried to appease him helplessly, "You're making me sound like a monster that sucks human blood. Don't scare Doctor Jiang!"
"I just can't stand his face! It's all in the past, and the emperor has already found the real culprit. What's the point in bringing it up again? When I lived in the capital, the old ladies next door wouldn't talk about such old stories. Some people really come back to life!"
Liang Cairen is the master, and no matter how high-ranking and powerful Jiang Yuanzheng is, he is still a subject.
Faced with indirect criticism, he had to be more tolerant.
Everyone in the palace now knew: the people in the East Wing of Lin'an Palace were untouchable. One was sharp-tongued and would scold anyone who offended her for three days and three nights without repeating herself. The other was pregnant with the imperial heir, the center of public attention, and she couldn't afford to be upset, lest she offend the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead."
Seeing Jiang Yuanzheng leave with a sullen face, Liang Cairen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This old bastard! He always relies on the Prime Minister as his backer and the Queen's support to look down on others! Every time I see him, I will insult him!"
"He hasn't mentioned you in his words, so why do you always go against him?" Wei Shuyi leaned back against the headboard and warned, "He's the head of the Imperial Hospital after all. What if you really push him too far? What if you have a headache or a fever and no one is willing to treat you? Or, someone might take advantage of the opportunity to harm you..."
"I don't care! If he scolds you, he's scolding me! I'm going to fight back! I'm strong and healthy, I won't get sick. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God!"
Liangcairen's temper is as stubborn as ever.
She seemed to have an extremely paranoid belief, for example, she valued Wei Shuyi's dignity and life more than her own.
Wei Shuyi was grateful for this, but at the same time, he was afraid that she would speak out of turn and cause trouble.
"Oh, right, there's a really good imperial physician who treated me and Wen Yu before. Do you want to have Dean Jiang's prescription reviewed by him?"
"Who? Is he reliable?" Liang Cairen suddenly became more cautious. "The old man was sent by the Queen. I also suspect he has ulterior motives. We can't just follow his orders."
"If he saved my life before, does that make him a reliable person?" Wei Shuyi thought of the dark figure. "His medical skills are superb, not inferior to Jiang Yuanzheng. Perhaps I can rely on him."
"He can actually save my life? Then let him come! He's better than this smiling tiger!"
So, Lu Xingzhou was immediately invited over by Wen Yu.
He still carried the small wooden box as usual, frowned and lowered his eyes, and stood by, waiting for orders.
"Doctor Lu, I have a prescription for a healthy pregnancy here. Could you please take a look at it for me? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"yes."
He took a few careful looks and came to a conclusion.
"There is nothing suspicious, everything is normal."
Wei Shuyi nodded slightly, then pleaded, "In the future, I'll ask you to come to Sang Yuxuan more often for similar matters. Will that interfere with Imperial Physician Lu's schedule?"
"The succession of Xi Baolin's heir is the Imperial Hospital's top priority! Since my lady trusts me, I am naturally happy to serve you. There is no need to disturb you."
"In that case, I'll have to trouble Imperial Physician Lu."
Lu Xingzhou still stood by and showed no intention of leaving.
He glanced at the talented man sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him wantonly, without saying a word. Impatience vaguely appeared in his elegant eyes.
"I have something to say to Doctor Lu, or..."
"Okay! I'll wait outside!"
Liang Cairen understood her intention and immediately got up and left. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but turn around and glance at Lu Xingzhou.
"I never expected Xi Baolin to become friends with a lady of this temperament." He was noticeably more relaxed, his body no longer tense. "You asked me to look at the prescription, does that mean you don't trust the Queen?"
"She was just about to issue an order to send me to the palace to suffer. How could she suddenly have such kindness that she wanted to help me have a peaceful pregnancy?"
"Yes, this matter is indeed suspicious." Lu Xingzhou stepped forward and reminded in a low voice, "The Imperial Concubine wanted to stop it, but she couldn't do anything about the difference in status. Since the Queen has made this suggestion, Your Majesty naturally agreed. It's really..."
Concubine Jin also wants to interfere?
Wei Shuyi recalled the other party's timely rescue in the main hall that day and said, "Thank you, Her Majesty, on my behalf. I have caused her trouble because of my trivial matter."
"Xi Baolin, don't worry. Even if Sangyuxuan is occupied by people from Fengluan Palace, I can still do my best to ensure the safety of the royal heir!"
The white shirt reflects the afterglow of the setting sun, as if gathering the autumn maples together.
Lu Xingzhou bowed and took an oath with great grace.
The firm tone also gave her a sense of peace of mind.
At dinner time, Xie Yanci came to Lin'an Palace as usual.
Just as he had promised, every day after court, when he had finished his state affairs, he would come to Sangyuxuan to accompany her, rain or shine, waiting for the baby to be born safely so they could enjoy the joy of family.
"I specifically asked Jiang Yuanzheng today, and he said that my child in the womb is strong and healthy, and it is very likely to be a prince!"
"Don't say that carelessly. If I give birth to a princess, wouldn't that disappoint His Majesty?" Wei Shuyi quickly denied. "Besides, the child is still young, and I'm not showing any signs of pregnancy. How did Dean Jiang come to this conclusion? You're not just making this up to please His Majesty, are you?"
Xie Yanci tasted a bite of vinegar fish and held her hand. "Whether it's a prince or a princess, as long as they're born to Yao'er, I like them all! I've also thought of a few names for them. Yao'er, would you like to see them?"
Generally, such matters were handled by the Imperial Household Department. When the due date was approaching, a special person would draft different titles based on gender, and after multiple rounds of screening, they would be presented to the emperor for approval.
Why did he break the rules and prepare so early?
Wei Shuyi smiled faintly in response, "Since it was the emperor who came up with it, then naturally I would like to see it. If I hear something I like, I might even give it a kick and give me some hints."
"really?!"
Xie Yanci was in a good mood and had no intention of eating. He walked straight to the desk.
"Then I will let Yao'er review it in advance!"
"Your Majesty! Empress Chengqian has caught a cold and is suffering from a severe headache. Her personal maid has come to see you."
Eunuch Yang's voice followed closely behind, and Wei Shuyi saw with his own eyes that the brush he was holding was frozen in mid-air.
Click.
The ink fell on the white paper, splashing a few small black spots.
He finally apologized and left the table: "Yao'er, wait for me. The imperial concubine has a weak constitution, and the changing seasons are particularly difficult. I will go and take a look and come back later."
