Chapter 1393 Is someone trying to harm the Queen?!
Everyone fell silent.
After a long while, Wang Baizhi calmly put away the cushion and handkerchief. Feng Qianyan looked at him nervously and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
“…”
Wang Baizhi did not speak immediately, but pinched his beard and pondered for a while.
Feng Qianyan became even more uneasy, her eyes flickering: "Speak."
Wang Baizhi raised her head and glanced at her, only to see Feng Qianyan turned her face away as if feeling guilty. But after thinking about it, she seemed to feel that she shouldn't feel guilty, so she looked at him again with a hint of gloom in her eyes.
"Doctor Wang, what is wrong with me?"
Wang Baizhi asked, "Has Concubine Ning been experiencing severe fetal movement recently?"
Feng Qianyan said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it hurts when I move too much."
"Also, you often feel tight in your stomach, right?"
"Yes, I am very uncomfortable."
“…”
Wang Baizhi thought for a while, then said softly, "Don't worry, Concubine Ning. This is normal for all pregnancies. Fetal movement will begin after five months, which is normal. As for the fact that you often feel abdominal tightness—"
Feng Qianyan looked at him carefully.
Wang Baizhi said, "As long as you pay the abortion-preserving medicine sent by the Imperial Pharmacy on time, there will be no problem."
Feng Qianyan frowned immediately.
She had originally been using chicken feathers as a token of authority and deliberately making a scene to get Zhu Feng to come visit her. However, this imperial physician was so ignorant of her tact and insisted that there was nothing wrong with him. Wasn't this a disgrace to her in front of the emperor?
However, the imperial physician had already spoken, and it was difficult for him to say anything else.
She could only turn to Zhu Feng and said aggrievedly, "Your Majesty, I am too cautious about the baby in my belly, fearing any impact."
“…”
"I really want to give birth to a healthy prince for the emperor."
“…”
"After all, there are only two children in the palace, Prince Wei and Princess Xinping. It's too lonely."
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
After a long silence, he said, "I'm glad you think so."
Sensing the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Hanxiang and the others hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen is very careful with the baby in her belly. She's very careful with what she eats and drinks. She hasn't even been walking much lately, for fear of bumping into something."
"The queen's legs are swollen."
"I've been vomiting a lot lately. I've thrown up everything I've eaten, and I've lost a lot of weight."
"All this is for the fetus in my belly."
Hearing them talking so excitedly, Feng Qianyan's eyes turned red. Indeed, ever since she found out she was pregnant, she and the carriage had overturned into the water, and she had hardly had a peaceful day. Recently, she had been suffering from severe morning sickness. She had never been so miserable as a spoiled child.
Her eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly, "As long as I can give birth to a healthy prince for His Majesty, no matter how great the hardship, I will be happy to endure it."
Wang Baizhi covered her mouth with her hand and coughed lightly twice.
Zhu Feng waved his hand and told Hanxiang and the others, "Help Concubine Ning lie down on the bed first."
"yes."
Several palace maids came forward and helped Feng Qianyan back to the bed in the inner room.
Then, Zhu Feng looked at Wang Baizhi, who also came forward and whispered in Zhu Feng's ear, "Your Majesty, there is a problem."
He spoke in a low voice, and only Zhu Feng could hear it.
Feng Qianyan walked in with her ears pricked up, but she couldn't hear anything. She just kept looking back at them anxiously.
Zhu Feng asked, "What's the problem?"
Wang Baizhi glanced at Concubine Ning's back and lowered her voice to say, "I just took Concubine Ning's pulse and found that although she is not seriously ill, she does not seem to have taken any pregnancy-maintaining medicine these days."
"Oh? Why do you think so?"
"The Queen just said that she has been having strong fetal movements these days, and her abdomen is often tight."
"Um."
"If you take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, this symptom will be alleviated a lot."
“…”
"I took her pulse and found no signs of the drug's effects in her body."
“…”
Zhu Feng frowned slightly and turned to look at him: "So what do you think?"
Wang Baizhi pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "There are two possibilities. Either Concubine Ning didn't take the pregnancy-preserving medicine, or—"
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door.
A young eunuch whispered, "Empress Ning, the imperial pharmacy has delivered the pregnancy-maintaining medicine."
This is the time when the imperial pharmacy usually delivers medicine.
Feng Qianyan was about to sit on the bed, but when she heard this voice, she was secretly happy.
Zhu Feng rarely came to my place in the past. Today he came here and saw me taking medicine. I'm sure he would feel sorry for me.
So he immediately asked Hanxiang to go out and open the door.
After a while, a young eunuch came in holding a tray with an exquisite medicine bowl on it and a lid on the rim.
When the eunuch came in and saw the emperor, he was startled and knelt down hurriedly: "Your servant greets the emperor."
Zhu Feng sat in the chair, expressionless: "Well, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The young eunuch brought the medicine bowl over. The steaming hot medicine had just cooled down a bit and was just about to be taken. Feng Qianyan picked it up and was about to bring it to her mouth when Wang Baizhi beside her suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Feng Qianyan was frightened by him, her hands trembled, and she almost spilled the medicine.
She turned to look at Wang Baizhi, her brows furrowed.
"Doctor Wang, what are you doing—"
Before she could finish her words, Wang Baizhi had already walked over, bowed to her, apologized, took the bowl from her hand, put it to her nose and smelled it, then stretched out her little finger to touch a little of the medicine and tasted it.
When Feng Qianyan saw his action, she opened her eyes wide in fear.
Is there something wrong with this medicine?
When she thought of this, she immediately became uneasy, and Hanxiang and the others hurried forward to support her.
Zhu Feng asked, "Wang Baizhi, what's wrong with this medicine?"
Wang Baizhi quickly turned around and said to Zhu Feng, "Your Majesty, this, this is not a pregnancy-preserving medicine!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng hadn't said anything yet, but Feng Qianyan, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that she stood up and said, "If this isn't a pregnancy-preserving drug, then what is this? Why was it sent to me? Could it be—"
Hanxiang then said, "Is someone trying to harm the Queen?!"
Suddenly, they all panicked.
Feng Qianyan hurried to Zhu Feng's side, reached out and grabbed his arm, shaking, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Zhu Feng said, "Let's listen to the imperial physician first."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and said to Wang Baizhi, "If this isn't a pregnancy-maintaining medicine, what is it? Please explain it clearly."
Wang Baizhi had just tasted a little bit and hadn't yet fully distinguished it. At this moment, she didn't care about much else. She took another sip carefully, distinguished it carefully, and frowned.
