Liang Cairen fainted after lunch due to exhaustion. Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived in time, examined him, prescribed some medicine, and then left.
After confirming it again and again, the Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief. "This job of mine is truly impossible for ordinary people to do. It was you who had the baby moving a while ago, and now it's her. If this happens a few more times, sooner or later my courage will be frightened to pieces!"
"Thank you, Madam."
"Well, just think of it as doing it for your own child. It doesn't matter if you're a little tired!" The Queen touched her belly with a loving look in her eyes. "That's great. After the New Year holidays, the little one will be born."
Wei Shuyi frowned subconsciously, but returned to normal before being discovered.
Time is running out, and she must eliminate the last crisis and make Xie Yanci believe from the bottom of his heart that no one in the palace can raise the royal heir except her, the biological mother.
"Sister, are you awake?"
As soon as the queen left, Liang Cairen opened her eyes.
Seeing Wei Shuyi, she nodded with difficulty: "I just didn't have the energy to deal with her, so I pretended to be asleep."
"In that case, then keep quiet. I've already consulted the imperial physician, and he said that your body is weak and your Qi and blood are both deficient, which is why you fainted suddenly. Was it because your servants weren't serving you well, or was it because the small kitchen couldn't provide the right meals?"
"Neither. They are very good."
Liangcairen didn't want to discuss this matter, so he turned his head away and stared at the wall in a daze.
Wei Shuyi could only ask Wen Yu to take her pulse: "You are well versed in medicine in the mansion, please take a look at me, there may be some hidden illness that the imperial physician cannot find."
"yes."
As soon as Wen Yu touched Liang Cairen's wrist, the latter pulled away reflexively: "Since the imperial physician has examined it, there must be no serious problem! Minmin, I'm still sick, you shouldn't stay for long, go!"
Wei Shuyi had found this matter strange a long time ago.
If other concubines were lucky enough to be pregnant with the emperor's heir, they would be eager to be surrounded by palace maids and imperial physicians, and be served wholeheartedly. They would also pay special attention to their own conditions.
But the woman before me was different. Ever since she became pregnant, she had spent her time sick, except for when she was making small clothes. She was depressed and emaciated, and there was no sign of the joy of being a new mother.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuyi dismissed Wen Yu and sat beside her: "Sister, what's wrong with you? We have been through a lot together. If you encounter any difficulties, please tell me in time and don't let yourself think about it, okay?"
"What could possibly happen to me? The women in the palace can't scold me, can't beat me, and now that I have a child, they dare not touch me. Even the Queen, who rarely comes, has to be polite to me."
Wei Shuyi compared their arms and said, "But you don't seem happy. Besides, this illness came on so suddenly. It might just be a rash, but why are you so thin?"
"Maybe this child hates me and has absorbed my nutrients, making me look like this." Liang Cairen retracted his hand into the quilt. "Minmin, it's good like this. No one bothers me. I have food and drink and people to serve me. It's really good."
"Then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
"Don't! Minmin, don't come before you give birth!"
Wei Shuyi asked in confusion: "Why?"
"I, I always feel that I am unlucky and I am afraid that I will bring bad luck to you. So... wait until you give birth to the baby, then come and see me. Listen to me!"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited, lie down and rest, I'll be obedient."
After leaving the room, Wen Yu couldn't help but look back again: "Miss, is Liang Cairen hiding something from you?"
"But she won't tell."
"I think she is protecting you and definitely not thinking of any bad intentions."
"Of course I understand this." Wei Shuyi paused. "But she's a martial artist with a physique superior to that of an ordinary person. The sudden onset of illness and the sunken cheeks really make me uneasy."
"I just tried to feel her pulse, but she dodged it." Wen Yu sighed, "Does the talented lady know what's wrong with her? So..."
Is it an incurable disease?! This thought flashed through his mind.
During the reign of the previous emperor, he fought numerous battles, and when faced with difficult battles, he would always lead the troops himself to boost morale. After subduing the Yanshi and Luoshan tribes, the restless smaller states in the surrounding areas finally stopped harassing the people on the border.
Until Emperor Yunwu Xie Yanci ascended the throne, the king of Dashuo in the south invaded again. Knowing that the "little emperor" was young and vigorous, he did not dare to start a war.
Unexpectedly, the emperor sent elite cavalry to accompany the veteran general Nangong. In just three days, they drove the Dashuo army back to the capital, becoming famous in one battle.
Three years have passed now. During this New Year's Day, General Nangong will leave the southern garrison camp and return to Beijing to accept the emperor's rewards.
"Wow! I heard the Nangong family is full of loyal and brave men, with many of them having died fighting for their country!" Jing Ning continued to give a vivid introduction. "It's also God's will. It seems that General Nangong's family mostly gives birth to boys. They learn martial arts from a young age and are then sent to the military camp for training. This has continued for generations... Oh, I guess this time there will be a hereditary title!"
Jing An laughed at her: "You remember other people's family tree so clearly. I wonder if you truly admire the old general, or do you have other motives?"
"Sister! I'm seriously praising someone!" Jing Ning coughed a few times, "The Nangong family does have a young lady. She's absolutely doted on, raised in the palm of her brothers' hands! I haven't heard anything about her since then, so she must be well protected by her family..."
"Don't give me that. I don't know you. You're asking about the Major General because of him, right?"
Hearing this, Jing Ning blushed for the first time, hesitating for a long time, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Wen Yu saw this and teased beside him: "I never thought Jing Ning has someone he loves?"
"Rumor has it that the young general was born with extraordinary strength, having read the art of war thoroughly at a young age. He was quite intelligent and had won the favor of the old general. When he grew up, he was also a brave warrior, never losing a battle. When he returned to the capital, an artist recorded his appearance, and when it was spread throughout the palace, some people were in a state of amorous love!"
Wei Shuyi found it amusing to listen to them playing around, and the sadness in his heart was magnified infinitely.
Nangong and Wei were old acquaintances.
When the Nangong family was in trouble, all the influential people in the family were fighting on the border, and distant water could not quench the nearby fire. As a result, the entire family was destroyed and it was difficult for them to meet again.
"After the Major General returns, he will also be in charge of the affairs of the East Suburbs Camp. I would like to create an encounter with him sometime when I am lucky enough to leave the palace!"
"where?!"
Wei Shuyi suddenly interrupted, causing them to turn around in surprise.
Jing Ning replied uneasily: "My lady, what are you asking? Where do you mean..."
"Where is the area under the Major General's jurisdiction in the capital?"
"I'm not sure about the details. People often pass by the East Suburbs Camp area, so I started paying attention. I only remember this one..."
Isn’t that where my brother does hard labor?
Xie Yanqing had initially used the fact that his old friend was a commander to force her to be his accomplice. Unexpectedly, this old acquaintance actually became a higher official.
"Sister Yi, this is for you! This is the wreath I made!"
In my impression, the major general still seems to be that childish boy.
