Chapter 162 Injury to the Fetus
Wen Chun heard the footsteps and looked over in panic. Seeing that it was the prince, he knelt down and crawled forward as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Prince... Your Highness the Prince."
Lu Jinyao didn't bother to say anything more. He walked quickly forward, picked up Lu Xingruo who was still lying on the ground, turned around and strode towards Xingyang Palace.
Although his steps were fast, he did not seem panicky at all.
But how could the prince not panic? He just tried to calm himself down.
"Zhongping, go get the imperial physician." After Lu Jinyao turned around, he began to instruct Zhongping.
"Yes, Your Highness." Tadahira trotted towards the Imperial Hospital.
When the prince picked up the eldest princess, Wen Chun also crawled up from the ground and followed the eldest princess carefully.
Wen Chun has been with the eldest princess since she was a child and is a very reliable girl. Before leaving today, she repeatedly begged the princess to bring a few more people with her when she goes out as she is pregnant. However, the eldest princess has always been a free-spirited person, so Wen Chun agreed to her request.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Such a thing happened today!
Lu Jinyao walked quickly towards Xingyang Palace while comforting the eldest princess in his arms: "Xingruo, it's my brother, are you in pain?"
Seeing Lu Xingruo closing her eyes, with sweat even on her forehead, and shivering in Lu Jinyao's arms, Lu Jinyao felt even more distressed. Thinking of Xiaoliu's panic just now, he was afraid that this matter was not unrelated to her.
But what is more important right now is not to punish Xiaoliu, but to save the fetus in Xingruo's belly.
Xing Ruo's pregnancy was hard-won. If she were really hurt, I'm afraid Xing Ruo would be heartbroken.
When Lu Jinyao put Lu Xingruo on his bed, Doctor Zhao and Doctor Wang were trotting behind Zhongping into the Xingyang Palace.
Without waiting for them to greet him, Lu Jinyao spoke up: "No need to greet you. Please take a quick look at Xing Ruo."
Doctor Zhao didn't hesitate and took Doctor Wang towards the bed.
The eldest princess had already been served by Wen Chun, who lowered the gauze curtain in front of the bed, leaving only her wrists exposed.
Doctor Zhao hurried forward to take the patient's pulse, frowned, and turned to look at Doctor Wang. Doctor Wang hurriedly bent forward and after the examination, the two looked at each other with worry flashing in their eyes.
Seeing the two's actions, Lu Jinyao's heart couldn't help but be pulled: "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness," the one who stepped forward to answer was naturally Doctor Zhao, "The eldest princess had suffered a collision a few days ago, and her pregnancy seems a little unstable. I'm afraid that the fall today may have hurt the fetus. The only thing I and Doctor Wang can do is to try our best to stabilize the pregnancy for the princess."
Hearing this, the teacup in the prince's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Your Highness, please forgive me."
Seeing this, the two doctors thought that the prince was angry, and they knelt down hurriedly: "We will do our best to save the baby in the eldest princess's belly."
The eldest princess on the bed thought that the prince was really angry, so she quickly stood up and said weakly, "Brother, don't be angry."
"Thank you both." The prince has always been a gentle and polite person. When he heard the eldest princess' call, he quickly put his thoughts aside, walked to the bed, and took her hand. "Xingruo, don't worry. I will definitely protect your baby."
His tone was full of determination.
I failed to protect my mother, but if I can't even protect my sister, I would be unworthy of being a son and a brother.
He also instructed Wenchun, who was standing beside him, to take good care of the eldest princess, and then left the palace.
He called Zhongping over and said, "I remember that my aunt has a girl with good medical skills. Go to Dingguo Marquis's Mansion and tell my aunt about this. Just tell her that Xingruo's pregnancy is unstable and ask her to send the female doctor."
"Okay." Zhongping accepted the prince's order and was about to turn around and leave, but then he remembered the imperial concubine's instructions and turned around again, "Your Highness, why don't you find a secret guard to go quickly?"
"Okay."
The eldest princess falling in the palace was no small matter and the news quickly spread throughout the palace.
Xingyang Palace is close to your majesty's Longsheng Palace. The Emperor of Great Chu has invested a lot of emotion in his daughter, the eldest princess. When he heard the news, he put down all the memorials in his hands and went straight to Xingyang Palace.
At this time, Wen Chun had helped Lu Xingruo drink the medicine, and he lay down and fell asleep.
"How is Xing Ruo?" The Emperor of Chu arrived before he did.
The prince quickly responded and looked over: "Father, Xing Ruo has already rested."
The Great Chu Emperor lowered his voice and asked, "What's the matter?"
Doctor Zhao at the side hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess seemed to have been resting for a while because of an unstable fetus a few days ago. Today, she fell to the ground again. This fetus..."
The Emperor of Great Chu was not as gentle as the Crown Prince. He knew that Xing Ruo's pregnancy was not easy, so he immediately became angry and said, "You two should take good care of her. If the Princess cannot keep this baby, I will bury the entire Imperial Hospital with her!"
Shen Ning, who was rushing in from outside, heard these words from the Emperor of Great Chu.
She was stunned for a moment. She knew that His Majesty always loved his eldest daughter, but she never thought that His Majesty would say such a thing as letting the entire Imperial Hospital be buried with her.
My own father also loved me like this at that time.
Yun Lan, who was following beside her, called softly, "My queen."
Shen Ning finally came to his senses, tried hard to suppress his emotions, and hurried towards the main hall of Xingyang Palace.
"Greetings to His Majesty," Shen Ning said in a panic, "I heard that Xing Ruo fell at the palace gate. How is she now?"
As soon as Shen Ning said this, everyone fell silent.
"Your Majesty," the Crown Prince said, "Xingruo is fine. She has already taken the pregnancy-maintaining medicine prescribed by Doctor Zhao and has fallen asleep. We will have to wait until she wakes up to see what happens."
The prince suddenly realized something when he said this: "Father, if Xing fell down when he came out of the Royal Grandmother's palace today, please keep it a secret. If the Royal Grandmother knew about it, she would definitely blame herself."
"Your Highness is right," Shen Ning on the side quickly echoed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of it right away."
Seeing how virtuous she was, the Great Chu Emperor couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, and he felt a little guilty towards her: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's my duty." Shen Ning bowed again before leaving Xingyang Palace in a hurry.
At the prince's persuasion, the Emperor of Great Chu returned to Longsheng Palace.
Xingyang Palace returned to peace.
At this time in the back hall of Changqiu Palace, the Sixth Princess Lu Xinghui was obviously frightened. As soon as she returned to Changqiu Palace, she ran straight back to her own palace, closed the door tightly, and hid under the quilt, trembling.
She knew that her father had always loved her eldest sister the most, even more than Yong'an.
No one knew what possessed her today, but she actually attacked her elder sister.
Looking at the elder sister lying on the ground in such pain, what if, what if the elder sister can't keep the baby.
My father will definitely not let me go.
Now that he has no mother to rely on, and his third brother is so vicious, if he gets to know about this, he will probably hand himself over to his father to seek credit.
What should I do? What should I do?
