Chapter 328 Twins
Hearing and watching a thousand times is not as good as practicing once.
Doctor Chen stood up and asked Fang Nanxing to massage according to his technique.
Fang Nanxing looked at the precious little man in front of him, stretched out his hand nervously, and massaged under the guidance of Doctor Chen.
After a set of massages, Yu Ziyou farted twice again.
His stomach felt better, and Yu Ziyou stopped crying.
Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense hearts relaxed.
Doctor Chen instructed: "Two quarters of an hour after feeding, use this technique to massage twice to prevent flatulence. One to two times a day is enough."
"Thank you for your advice, Doctor Chen." Fang Nanxing responded.
Doctor Chen looked at Yu Ziyou and then at Yu Zheng, and he always felt uneasy, so he asked Fang Nanxing to follow him to the side hall, and talked about some common childhood diseases and taught her how to treat them.
Fang Nanxing was smart and eager to learn, and since she was a doctor, she could understand things quickly.
Fang Nanxing was very grateful to Doctor Chen for his generous teaching, and she immediately knelt down and offered him a cup of tea.
"Can I... call you Master?" Fang Nanxing asked tentatively.
She didn't mean anything else, but she felt that Doctor Chen had taught her too much, and she felt uneasy, so she called him Master to show her respect.
Doctor Chen took the teacup and drank a sip, smacking his lips and said, "I've already drunk the tea, I have to agree."
Fang Nanxing's face lit up when she heard that, and she hurriedly said, "Master."
"Get up." Doctor Chen put down the teacup and said, "You and I are destined to be together. Although I have accepted your call of master, it is inconvenient to communicate with you, and we cannot be a formal master and apprentice. Let's learn as much as we
can." "Yes." Fang Nanxing was not greedy, and she learned as much as Doctor Chen taught her.
The two discussed for a while, and Doctor Chen wrote a few medical prescriptions for Fang Nanxing, asking her to study them carefully.
Fang Nanxing carefully kept them, as if she had found a treasure.
After confirming that Yu Ziyou was fine, Doctor Chen said goodbye and returned to the palace.
Jiang Shu's mind suddenly changed, and she said to Yu Zheng, "It's rare for Doctor Chen to leave the palace, why don't you go and see my sister?"
It's really a waste of talent for the head of the Imperial Hospital to leave the palace just to treat flatulence. It would be better to go and see Yu Lan, which is more worthwhile.
Yu Zheng also had this idea, and the princess's mansion was close, so he immediately took Doctor Chen there in person.
Doctor Chen couldn't refuse, so he simply asked Fang Nanxing to come along and let her follow him to learn.
Yu Lan's pregnancy was not stable, and she had severe morning sickness, so she had been resting in the mansion.
When Yu Zheng led Doctor Chen to the princess's mansion, she had just vomited, and she was lying on the couch with a pale face and a dried plum in her mouth.
"Is the medicine prescribed by the palace doctor ineffective?" Yu Zheng asked Zhou Boxu with a frown.
Zhou Boxu was worried about Yu Lan's difficult pregnancy, so he handed most of the affairs to his subordinates and stayed with Yu Lan in the mansion.
Hearing Yu Zheng's words, Zhou Boxu pursed his lips and said, "It has eased a little, but it can't be stopped completely."
While the two were talking, Doctor Chen had finished checking her pulse, but he didn't tell her the diagnosis immediately, but asked Fang Nanxing to check it as well.
Fang Nanxing raised his hand and put it on Yu Lan's snow-white wrist, feeling that Yu Lan's pulse was smooth, like beads rolling on a jade plate, heavy and rapid, and it was an obvious slippery pulse.
However, Yu Lan's pregnancy had already been diagnosed, and Fang Nanxing didn't understand what Doctor Chen meant by this.
Fang Nanxing raised his head and looked at Doctor Chen in confusion.
Doctor Chen said, "Use your other hand to diagnose."
Fang Nanxing did as he was told.
After a while, Fang Nanxing showed surprise when she found that the pulse of Yu Lan's right hand was almost the same as that of her left hand.
She had studied medicine since she was a child. Although she was not as skilled and experienced as Doctor Chen, she had diagnosed many pregnancy pulses, but she had never seen a pulse like Yu Lan's.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Yu Lan asked anxiously when she saw that Fang Nanxing looked strange.
Zhou Boxu and Yu Zheng were instantly worried when they heard this. They stared at Fang Nanxing and Doctor Chen with bated breath.
Doctor Chen saw that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Princess. The children are fine, and they are most likely twins."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent.
The surprise on Fang Nanxing's face turned into shock and realization. She finally understood why Yu Lan's pulse was different, and why Doctor Chen asked her to diagnose her pulse.
She had diagnosed many pregnancy pulses, but never the pulse of twins. Today was a rare opportunity to learn.
Zhou Boxu breathed heavily, and said in disbelief and ecstasy, "Are you serious?"
Yu Lan and Yu Zheng were also surprised and happy, looking at Doctor Chen expectantly.
Doctor Chen said solemnly: "Based on my many years of experience, the princess is most likely pregnant with twins."
Doctor Chen's prediction was a sure thing, beyond any doubt.
Yu Lan and Zhou Boxu were overjoyed and could not hide their smiles.
"Thank you, Doctor Chen." Zhou Boxu bowed his hands in thanks, and at the end asked: "Is this why the princess has severe morning sickness?"
Doctor Chen nodded: "It is not easy for a woman to be pregnant, let alone twins. Especially in the later stages, the belly will be much larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman, making it inconvenient to move, and requires careful care."
Zhou Boxu listened and took notes, his clenched palms slightly sweating.
After checking Yu Lan's pulse and confirming that she had no other discomfort but just suffered from severe morning sickness, Doctor Chen and Fang Nanxing went to the side hall to prepare a soothing prescription.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu talked to Yu Lan in the room, sharing this great joy.
"Sister is getting older, and if she gave birth to two children at once, she won't have to give birth anymore in the future." Yu Zheng was sincerely happy for Yu Lan.
His sister had suffered too much, and finally she got a blessing.
"Yeah." Yu Lan stroked her still unnoticeable belly, with a kind look: "God has mercy on me, I hope it's a son and a daughter."
In this way, Zhuang Yan can have a younger sister, and the Zhou family can have an heir.
Zhou Boxu heard this and held Yu Lan's hand and said, "I like both sons and daughters. They are all our children."
Yu Lan's eyes flashed and said, "I know, but the Zhou family needs a grandson."
Zhou Boxu said, "The fate of children is determined by heaven. It cannot be forced. Don't think too much."
As the only son in the family, Zhou Boxu naturally understood his parents' thoughts. But Yu Lan was not young anymore, and it was not easy for her to be pregnant. He couldn't bear her to suffer any more.
Long before Doctor Chen came, Zhou Boxu had already decided that, regardless of the gender, Yu Lan would not have any more children after this one.
Now that they knew they were twins, it was already a pleasant surprise, and they should be content.
Thinking of something, Zhou Boxu stood up and said, "I'll go see if Doctor Chen has any requests."
Yu Zheng nodded and stayed to talk with Yu Lan.
Zhou Boxu entered the side hall, where Doctor Chen had just written the prescription and was discussing it with Tongfang Nanxing.
Seeing Zhou Boxu, Doctor Chen handed him a prescription and said, "This is a prescription used by the ladies in the palace. It is very effective. But morning sickness cannot be cured. We can only try to relieve it."
Zhou Boxu took it and asked with a frown, "Is there any danger in giving birth to twins?"
Doctor Chen paused and said truthfully, "Yes."
Zhou Boxu's worries were confirmed, and his heart sank immediately. The joy he had just felt for the twins disappeared, and he felt cold all over.
His aunt died of a difficult birth, leaving two lives.
Seeing Zhou Boxu's expression was not right, Doctor Chen hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't worry too much. The princess has given birth before. This is the second child, it will be much smoother and the risk will be greatly reduced."
I didn't say this before because I felt that it was useless to say it, and it would only add to the trouble. But now that Zhou Boxu asked, I could only tell the truth.
