The princess walked into the room with the prescription.
"How about it?"
"Reporting to my mother, Aunt Huyang has been overly shocked and is drowsy and not fully awake."
Pei sighed, "It's better not to be awake."
She handed the prescription to Gu Jiu and said, "Take this prescription and go get the herbs and boil them. The prince has ordered that the child must be aborted today no matter what."
Gu Jiu nodded.
Only after she walked out of the room did she spread out the prescription and look at it.
I guess the imperial physician was under pressure and prescribed all kinds of strong and dangerous medicines.
Given Hu Yang's current mental and physical condition, he will definitely suffer from hemorrhage after taking this bowl of medicine.
She ordered the maid beside her, "Prepare the writing brush and ink."
After carefully studying the handwriting on the prescription, Gu Jiu wrote down a milder abortion recipe. This bowl of medicine would take a little longer to simmer, but it wouldn't cause hemorrhage or harm the body.
She imitated the imperial physician's handwriting and quickly finished writing a prescription.
Then he went to the warehouse to pick up medicinal herbs and prepared to make Huichunhetang medicine.
On the way, he met Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo who blocked his way.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, I heard that Princess Huyang was crying and screaming in Chunhe Hall. What happened?"
Gu Jiu said lightly: "It's just those things. He beat Chen Lu for the sake of face."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Luo said, "Huyang is really confused. When she gets old, she will still have to rely on her son for support. Isn't she afraid that Chen Lu will resent her?"
Concubine Shen smiled contemptuously, "What is Huyang afraid of? She is a princess, and the Shaofu has been worried about her from birth to death. She just needs to not be too absurd and anger His Majesty."
Concubine Luo disagreed, "After all, my son is more important. How can I turn against my son just for a concubine?"
"Then she will give birth to a son for her lover." Concubine Shen said casually.
"Pah, pah, pah!" Concubine Luo said in disgust, "Don't talk nonsense. Hu Yang is not stupid, how could she possibly give birth to a son for her lover? Aren't you afraid of being sentenced to death by His Majesty?"
Concubine Shen smiled and said, "I just said it casually. I didn't really want Huyang to give birth to a son for my concubine. Big brother's wife, are you going to Chunhe Hall again? Haven't you finished your work there yet?"
Gu Jiu's expression was calm, as still as a mountain. "The prince scolded Princess Huyang, and she cried until she was out of breath. The imperial physician examined her and said that she was a little weak and needed to be nourished."
Concubine Shen covered her face with her sleeves and smiled charmingly.
"I've only heard that men become weak after being absurd for a long time, but I didn't expect women to become weak too. Tsk tsk, how absurd is Hu Yang? She really has no manners."
Concubine Luo looked contemptuous, "How dirty."
Concubine Shen nodded repeatedly, "It is indeed a bit dirty. I happen to be free now, so I will go see Princess Huyang."
Gu Jiu shook his head. "I'm afraid it's not very convenient. The prince and princess are still angry at the moment. If you go there, you'll run into them. The prince and princess might take their anger out on you two."
Hearing this, Concubine Luo immediately backed off, "I'm still not going."
Concubine Shen was a little unwilling, "It's just a small thing, how angry can the prince be."
Gu Jiu pretended to be mysterious, "This time it's different, the princess seems to have fallen in love."
"ah?"
"No wonder the prince is so furious. Forget it, forget it, I won't get into this bad luck. Hu Yang is really something, she's not in her right mind, she's showing affection to the other leader, does she want to become a complete laughing stock?"
Gu Jiu finally got rid of Concubine Shen and Concubine Luo and hurried back to Chunhe Hall.
He personally watched the maidservant decoct the medicine.
Three bowls of water were boiled into one bowl of water and sent to the side room.
Princess Huyang was still drowsy and talking nonsense.
Gu Jiu asked Pei: "Can you give the princess medicine in this condition?"
Pei gritted her teeth, her heart sulking, "Keeping the child in her belly for even one more day will be a disaster. Someone, come and help the princess take her medicine."
The two maids, Gu Jiu, and Pei worked together and finally managed to feed the abortion drug to Princess Huyang.
During this time, Huyang kept struggling and refused to take the medicine. He even bit Pei, but fortunately he didn't bite her, leaving only a tooth mark at the base of her thumb.
Pei was furious and went to King Ning to complain.
Prince Ning had his eyes closed, his face expressionless, showing no sign of calm or anger.
After listening to Pei's complaints, he asked, "Did you take the medicine?"
Pei nodded, "Drink the whole bowl of medicine, it should take effect in a while."
"Keep an eye on her. We must get rid of the bastard in her belly today."
Pei agreed and asked, "What should we do next? When Huyang recovers, she will definitely quarrel with you."
Prince Ning snorted coldly, "Don't those two concubines really like to serve others? I will have them castrated and make them serve others for the rest of their lives."
"How can this be done? If you castrate them, Huyang will find someone else when the time comes. Wouldn't that be harmful to others? It's better to keep those two and give them a good beating to teach them a lesson. They won't dare to cause trouble again."
Prince Ning opened his eyes, a glint in his eyes, "Huyang lacks someone who can control her."
Pei shook her head. "Who can control her? Even the Prince Consort can't control her, and he still has to listen to her. Now, only Your Majesty, Your Highness, can control her. She even pretends to obey Mother's words, but secretly disobeys them."
Prince Ning frowned, Pei was telling the truth.
Given Huyang's status and position, no one, whether a concubine or a prince consort, could control her.
Pei suddenly sighed, "In fact, Han Wulang had the opportunity to control Huyang, at least on the surface. Han Wulang has a strong temper and is young, so Huyang usually listens to him. It's a pity that they didn't succeed."
Prince Ning scoffed, "Nonsense. Huyang listens to Han Wulang purely out of novelty. Once the novelty wears off, Huyang's old habits will resurface and he'll abandon Han Wulang again."
"But if you want to find someone who can control Huyang, you really have to be as pretentious as Han Wulang."
Prince Ning looked annoyed. "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Those two lovers really deserve a good beating. Chang En, you personally lead people to the Princess's Mansion and arrest the second and third sons of the Zuo family. Don't castrate them. You decide how to act. As for that Zuo family member who dared to speak frivolously to Min Min, you will deal with him for me. As long as he doesn't die, it's fine."
Chang En bowed his head and accepted the order, then took his men with him.
Pei clicked her tongue twice, the Zuo family was in trouble now.
Chang En came from the execution department of the palace. He had many ways of dealing with people and was sure to make the Zuo family suffer a fate worse than death.
He really thought that by coaxing Princess Huyang, he could do whatever he wanted in the Princess's Mansion, even daring to speak frivolously to Chen Min. This kind of person is short-sighted. Once he rises to prominence, he loses his mind and deserves to be punished by Chang En.
Chang En rarely takes care of people himself, and the Zuo family feels honored.
Huyang drank the abortion pill, and after an incense stick of time, the drug took effect.
She rolled around on the bed, crying out in pain, alarming even Prince Ning.
Prince Ning walked into the wing room and said sternly, "Until the child is aborted, you must endure it. Glue her mouth."
"This won't work. We still have to let her scream out." Pei said hurriedly.
"She felt more pain if she didn't scream. When the pain got so severe that she had no strength left, she stopped screaming."
"Brother Wang, please give me arsenic and kill me. Please kill me."
Huyang was crying, shouting, and rolling around, looking very miserable.
Prince Ning's face was grim. "Want to die? Before you die, you must first kill the bastard."
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
"Oh, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Gu Jiu stayed by the bed, wondering if it really hurt that much.
Her prescription was already very mild, even though it hurt so much.
If Hu Yang had taken the medicine according to the prescription given by the imperial physician, he would have fainted from the pain.
Gu Jiu asked someone to bring a towel and fold it up, "Princess, hold the towel in your mouth, maybe it will feel better."
The Lord of Huyang opened his mouth and took deep breaths.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to put the towel into her mouth.
Hu Yang bit the towel tightly, his face twisted and his body rolled over and over.
It hurts so much!
Pei frowned, "How long will it take to abort the child?"
Gu Jiu said softly, "If everything goes well, it will take about two hours."
"Why is it taking so long? Didn't the imperial physician say it would take an hour to be effective?"
Gu Jiu said, "When feeding the medicine, a lot of it was spilled, so the efficacy of the medicine will naturally be reduced."
Pei nodded, accepting Gu Jiu's explanation.
She instructed Gu Jiu, "Stay here and tell me if there's any movement."
"Go and rest, mother. I will keep an eye on Aunt Huyang."
"Thanks a lot."
Pei left tiredly.
Nanny Fang waited on Gu Jiu, "Madam, why don't you go to the next room to rest? I will stay here."
Gu Jiu nodded, "If there is anything unusual, remember to call me."
"I know."
Gu Jiu walked to the next room and planned to take a nap on the soft couch.
The window opened, she opened her eyes and saw Liu Huan.
Why is Liu Huan here?
Gu Jiu suddenly jumped up from the couch, walked out in three or two steps, and pulled Liu Huan into the side room.
"Why are you here, Sister Huan? Why did the concierge let you in?"
Liu Huan felt a little guilty. "I snuck in. Sister Min was worried about Aunt Huyang, so I came to check on her. Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Aunt Huyang? I took a look, and she looked scary."
Gu Jiu frowned and said with a stern face, "Aunt Huyang has been upset. Before Mother finds you, get out quickly. Tell Sister Min that I will send someone to notify Aunt Huyang later when she has calmed down."
Liu Huan was very good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that Gu Jiu had a serious face and fire in his eyes, she knew that his anger was not directed at her.
But she was still a little scared, and she realized she had come at the wrong time. She nodded quickly and said, "I'll be out right away."
"Madam Fang, please send Sister Huan back to her room for me."
Nanny Fang took the order and personally escorted Liu Huan out of Chunhe Hall.
Gu Jiu gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly.
The doorman of Chunhetang is a complete glutton.
Liu Huan, such a big person, came in, but no one noticed her.
Two hours later, the baby in Princess Huyang's belly finally miscarried.
Princess Huyang no longer had the strength to cry out, and let the maids and servants clean up for her.
After cleaning myself up, I changed my clothes.
Hu Yang lay on the bed, looking disheartened.
Pei comforted her, "You've lost your child, so you should be more open-minded. Once you recover, you'll have to continue living."
Hu Yang looked at Pei coldly, "It's just a false sympathy."
Pei's cheeks twitched with anger, and she cursed Huyang inwardly: "You don't know what's good for you."
Pei left angrily.
Hu Yang looked at Gu Jiu again, "You haven't even conceived a child, yet you helped the princess to commit atrocities. Aren't you afraid of retribution and not being able to conceive in the future?"
Gu Jiu smiled indifferently, "If there really is retribution in this world, then everything the princess has suffered today can be regarded as retribution from Prince Consort Chen. Thinking about it this way, the princess will feel better."
"you……"
Princess Huyang was so angry that her face turned pale. "You are such a sharp-tongued person. I'm talking to you. You and Liu Zhao have been married for almost a year now, and you're still pregnant, so why aren't you anxious?"
Gu Jiu said calmly, "I'm not in a hurry, and it's not your turn to worry about it. You should take good care of your health and think about how to prevent similar things from happening again when you have time."
You have to understand that the reason you can live such an absurd life and not be stripped of your title is more or less because you have the prince helping you.
If the prince completely gives up on you one day, do you think the palace will take revenge on you?"
Hu Yang was stunned.
Gu Jiu took the opportunity to leave.
…
Tourmaline Pavilion.
King Ning was reluctantly satisfied when he learned that the baby in Huyang's womb had been aborted.
He instructed the eunuchs, "Send a message to the eldest son, saying that His Majesty has issued an edict reprimanding the King of Chu. This is good news. Tell him to work hard in the military camp and win over the people. If he is short of money, tell him to report it and I will help him."
The eunuch received the order and dared to go out of the city gate to report the news before the gate was locked.
The King of Chu was reprimanded by His Majesty, and the King of Ning, who had been angry for a whole day, finally felt better.
He asked the actors to sing.
The actor Lan Xiang was ordered to come to the Bixi Pavilion. After getting dressed, he stepped forward and started to perform.
Lan Xiang has a very good voice, which is soft and bright, rare among men.
Prince Ning closed his eyes and enjoyed it, with his hands on the armrests, clapping to the rhythm and humming a few lines from time to time.
The eunuch came up to Prince Ning and whispered in his ear.
Prince Ning suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with brilliance.
He waved his hand and everyone left.
After the side hall was clear of outsiders, Prince Ning asked quietly, "Is the news true?"
The eunuch bowed and said, "The news was sent from the palace, so it should be true."
Prince Ning bared his teeth and said, "It's time for the old man to accept his age."
…
The imperial palace is Xingqing Palace.
The lights are on.
There were people inside and outside the bedroom, but no one made any noise. It was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of ants crawling.
But there were no ants on the ground.
Seven or eight imperial doctors gathered together to discuss how to use the medicine.
This evening, when it was getting dark, the emperor reviewed memorials all day. When he got up, he was a little anxious and suddenly felt dizzy. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.
He hit his head on the dragon throne, breaking a piece of the leather.
For a moment, the Xingqing Palace was in a state of emergency.
The wound on the emperor's forehead was simple and would heal in less than two days with some medicine.
The difficult part is that the emperor fainted.
It is obvious that the emperor is old and his health is not as good as before.
However, the emperor felt good about himself, thinking that he was still a young and strong man of thirty years old, and refused to listen to the imperial physician's advice to take good care of his health.
Daily routine and even diet are not much different from the past.
How can this be done?
Sure enough, something happened today.
Imperial physicians can use medication to control the disease, but they only treat the symptoms and not the root cause.
The key is to rely on the emperor's self-awareness. When people get old, they have to accept their age and take good care of their bodies. They can no longer eat too much oil, meat and salt, but should eat lighter food.
We can no longer toil away every day like we did in the past. The workload must be reduced by at least half.
The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau came forward and subtly pointed out some matters that the emperor should pay attention to.
The emperor glared at her, looking particularly frightening. "Are you saying I'm old?"
"I dare not."
Plop!
Seven or eight imperial doctors knelt on the ground like quails.
The emperor stretched out his hand, and Chen Dachang, the supervisor, quickly helped the emperor sit up.
The emperor pointed to the head of the Imperial Hospital and said, "Use the medicine boldly. Make sure my body recovers as soon as possible. If you have any prescriptions for recuperation, please submit them as well."
"Your humble servant obeys your order."
After the imperial doctors left, the emperor sat at the head of the bed for a full cup of tea.
He waved.
Chen Dachang, the Chief Supervisor of the Chen Dynasty, bowed and came before the emperor.
The emperor said to him, "Secretly search for famous alchemy experts in the world."
Chen Dachang was stunned. Is Your Majesty asking for advice from an immortal? Is he asking for advice from an alchemist?
He didn't dare to raise any objections and could only accept the order.
The emperor then asked, "When will Li Zhaoyi give birth?"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Physician says Consort Li's due date is around the end of February or early March next year."
The emperor nodded.
Chen Dachang added, "Many people say that Concubine Li's baby will definitely be a prince."
The emperor finally laughed, "Of course it will be the prince. Go and summon Li Zhaoyi, I want her to keep me company and talk."
"I obey your command."
