Chapter 181: Drugged
Zhao Shen thought for a moment and said, "It seems that my third brother wasn't in good health at the time, and Second Aunt was afraid that moving would be bad for the child, so she stayed. Later, in the past few years, Second Aunt said that the child was growing up, and that outsiders couldn't compare to the capital, so she specially took a concubine for Second Uncle. Over the years, that concubine has been with Second Uncle, taking care of his daily life."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Then the concubine has never given birth to a child?"
"No, she said she was pregnant but didn't give birth and was injured. My second uncle said he already has a son and a daughter, so he doesn't care about this."
Ji Yunshu smiled: "Speaking of which, the men in your family are quite affectionate."
As soon as Ji Yunshu said this, he realized that something was wrong. If they were really in love, how could they have lived apart from each other for more than ten years?
Unless the second uncle is deeply in love with someone other than his own wife.
That's probably another story.
Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen curiously, "Have you seen Second Uncle's concubine? Is she pretty? Does Second Uncle like her very much?"
Zhao Shen saw that she had been half dead just now, but she suddenly became energetic after talking about this. He knocked her forehead helplessly and asked: "What makes you think I would pay attention to my second uncle's concubine?"
Ji Yunshu covered his forehead and said awkwardly, "I'm just asking, why are you so old-fashioned? It's really boring."
Zhao Shen simply couldn't do anything with her: "Okay, I'll check this matter. Don't stare at your second uncle's concubine. She hasn't been in the capital for many years, so she shouldn't be involved."
Ji Yunshu also knew that the second wife, Qin, was the one who had the most problems in the whole thing, and Zhao Shen had never paid attention to Qin before, so he did not hold him back to ask more questions.
The next day, Ji Yunshu slept until noon before getting up. The stomachache that he had felt yesterday was much better, but he still felt tired.
When I was having breakfast, I found that Zhao Shen had not left yet, so I asked him curiously, "Why haven't you left yet?"
By the end of the year, there were a lot of things to do in Jingzhao Prefecture. Zhao Shen got up early and went to bed late these days, and was busier than modern office workers who work from nine to five.
Zhao Shen said, "Don't worry, I'll call a doctor and he'll take your pulse later."
Ji Yunshu understood what he said. He was worried about her and planned to wait until the doctor finished taking her pulse before leaving.
Although she had not felt any discomfort during her period before, it was normal for Ji Yunshu to occasionally have back pain and feel listless.
She felt much better today. If Zhao Shen hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have called a doctor at all.
As they were talking, the doctor arrived. It was the doctor from Ji Yunshu's own clinic, and Bai Ling also came with them. She had been helping out in the clinic these days.
Bai Ling knew about Ji Yunshu's physical condition, and was a little surprised to hear that Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable during her period. Generally, women feel uncomfortable during their period before something happens, and they feel better after getting married, especially after giving birth.
Why did their wife turn around?
Bai Ling first took Ji Yunshu's pulse and asked curiously, "When did Madam catch a cold, or did she use anything cold?"
Ji Yunshu didn't expect such a result from the consultation, and said blankly: "No."
Ever since the weather turned cold, she wanted to stay indoors every day without going out. Everything she ate was carefully checked, so how could there be anything cold?
Lu Ru and Lan Yin also shook their heads: "Madam has hardly left the house these days. We have carefully checked the food she eats, and there is nothing cold or frigid."
Bai Ling made way and let the other doctor who came with her take Ji Yunshu's pulse.
This doctor was taught by Yichen himself, and he is quite talented. He has become the attending physician of the clinic these days.
He took Ji Yunshu's pulse and came to the same conclusion as Bai Ling: "If it's not a cold, then it's something cold that you ate. It's not a big deal, but let's try a few doses of medicine first."
When Zhao Shen heard the result, his face darkened and he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.
Seeing that his anger was so low that it seemed like he was ready to kill someone, Ji Yunshu sent everyone around him away and came close to him and said, "Don't be like this. Didn't the doctor say it's okay? You'll be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."
Although she said this, Ji Yunshu also knew that this was a big deal. She was very sure that she had not caught a cold, which meant that she had been drugged under the protection of so many people.
Zhao Shen's expression was solemn: "Let Bai Ling serve you from now on, and let her check everything you take in first."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Okay."
She would have done the same even if he hadn't said it. Nothing in this world is more important than life.
Someone can put cold things in her food, who knows if they will put some deadly poison in the future?
Thinking of this, she asked in confusion: "Since they've already drugged me, why don't they put some poison? Why go through so much trouble just to make my period a little more uncomfortable?"
Zhao Shen touched her cheek, and the coldness on his face melted a little, but his tone was cold: "It's okay because you are not pregnant."
If a pregnant woman touches anything cold, the baby will most likely die.
Whenever Zhao Shen thought of this, his eyes turned cold.
The other party was coming for their children.
Ji Yunshu noticed the cold air coming out of him and grabbed his hand to comfort him, "I'm not pregnant, am I? This thing won't have any effect on me. Just be careful next time. Don't be so scary."
Zhao Shen noticed her hand was a little cold, so he took it back to cover her hand and said, "That needs to be investigated thoroughly. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, who knows when it will happen again."
Ji Yunshu also meant this. After a moment of thought, she said, "There was nothing unusual before. It must have happened recently. I've hardly been out lately, and I've always checked everything I eat. I really can't figure out how I got infected."
Zhao Shen was well aware of her daily life, and most of the servants around her were personally selected by the empress dowager.
Zhao Shen couldn't figure out what had gone wrong. He frowned and asked, "Don't you go to the main courtyard to pay your respects every now and then? Is there anything unusual?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "Whenever I go to the main courtyard, I am always extra careful, especially since Wei Yuanmin got married."
Although Wei Yuanmin was a bit scheming, he was still spoiled by the eldest princess and became a little confused.
In front of her, he would unconsciously reveal a sense of superiority and arrogance that would sooner or later step on her.
If it was when Zhao Shen pretended to be disabled in the past, it would be understandable for her to have such thoughts.
But now, seeing that Zhao Shen has a bright future, where does Wei Yuanmin get the confidence from?
Based on this alone, Ji Yunshu could conclude that the eldest princess must have said something to her, such as guaranteeing that the title of Marquis of Changxing would definitely belong to Zhao Heng.
Under such circumstances, Ji Yunshu naturally did not dare to take it lightly when he went to the main courtyard.
"But besides Yao, who else would not want you to get pregnant?"
Ji Yunshu, on the other hand, felt that it was unlikely to be Yao: "She has always been cautious, why would she make a move at this critical moment?"
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu remembered another thing, "Didn't father already know about Zhao Heng's background? Why hasn't he made any response for so long? Could it be that he felt that since his son has grown up, it would be embarrassing for everyone if he made a fuss, so why not just keep it secret?"
