Chapter 129: Pregnant? "How's the Emperor, is he alright? ...
"How's the Emperor? Is he alright?" Qi Buchen asked, half out of curiosity and half wanting to distract Yinzhen from the pain. "Where are the others?"
Jin Bao replied respectfully, "The Emperor is fine. The Empress Dowager and the concubines were frightened. The other princes and their wives fell into the water, but they were rescued in time, so nothing serious happened."
Qi Buchen nodded: "How did you find it?"
Jin Bao began with the assassin's confession: "...I led my men out of the city in a search. Just as we were running out of leads, we apprehended two men acting suspiciously. After some questioning, we discovered they were the ones who had abducted our master from the lake. They had separated from Boss Jin when leaving the city, exiting through a different gate. This was why they arrived late at the agreed-upon destination. Upon their arrival, they discovered Boss Jin and his men had been murdered by another group. They dared not show themselves and attempted to slip away, only to be confronted by me."
Is this a case of the person who tied the bell being the one to untie it? They were the ones who kidnapped the people, and it was because of them that they were rescued in the end.
"Have all the assassins in the city been caught?" Qi Buchen asked.
Jin Bao said: "I am not sure, this matter is under the responsibility of the eldest prince."
Qi Buchen noticed that Yinzhen was trembling a little and said quickly, "Hurry up, I'm not feeling well."
Not caring whether the wound would break, a group of people sped up and sent the two back to the palace.
As soon as they entered the yard, the two were separated. The imperial physician was already waiting. Yinzhen was in an urgent condition, so he was taken to see a doctor first. Qi Buchen was taken by Lan Hui and Ruixiang, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and was taken into the inner room to change his wet clothes and keep warm.
Perhaps it was because she was in a familiar place, the breath that Qi Buchen had been holding on to finally relaxed. Although she could still support Yinzhen's weight with her body on the road, she couldn't even lift a finger when Lan Hui and others changed her clothes. After changing her clothes, she lay drowsy on the bed and couldn't get up at all.
There was no other choice but to ask the imperial physician to come into the inner room for a consultation. Yinzhen should have been arranged to rest in another place, but he insisted on coming in, sitting beside Qi Buchen's bed, staring at the imperial physician taking Qi Buchen's pulse.
The imperial physician's expression remained serious, and it was hard to tell if the condition was good or bad. However, as he continued examining the patient's pulse for longer and longer, his brows furrowed slightly. Yinzhen seemed to have mastered the art of micro-expression, keenly sensing that something was amiss with the imperial physician. "What's wrong with Fu Jin?"
The imperial physician no longer concealed his feelings: "Let me examine Fu Jin's other hand."
Yinzhen personally held the hand on the inside and handed it over.
The imperial physician felt the pulse for a long time, then hesitantly let go and asked, "Excuse me, may I ask if your period is delayed?"
Everyone in the room was stunned, and they couldn't realize how this matter was related to Fu Jin's illness.
Lan Hui answered reflexively, "It's going to be around these few days, so it doesn't count as a delay, right?"
Yinzhen's eyes flashed, and he asked in disbelief, "Fujin is, is she pregnant?"
The imperial physician was somewhat embarrassed: "The pulse is intermittent, and I am not sure. Please forgive me, Fourth Prince."
Yinzhen suppressed his somewhat excited emotions. He had not forgotten what Fu Jin had endured in the past half day: "How is Fu Jin's health? Is her condition serious? If, if, I mean if, if she is pregnant, will it be bad?"
He spoke haltingly and anyone could hear his nervousness. Lan Hui and the others were anxiously waiting for the imperial physician's answer.
It has been three years since the Concubine and the Master consummated their marriage, but there has been no news from her. The servants who are loyal to the Concubine are so anxious that they have privately given her many folk remedies. Unfortunately, no matter how they persuade her, the Concubine is of no use. Fortunately, the Master loves the Concubine very much, and he has not said anything even though there has been no news from her for so long, and he has never been favored by other women.
But this situation cannot continue forever. Now that Fu Jin has finally received the good news, if she loses it again, I don’t know how regretful and disappointed she will be. It would be terrible if she never recovers from this.
The imperial physician hesitated, but finally told the truth: "It will have an impact. At the very least, it will cause instability in the fetus, and at the worst, it will..."
The words were not finished, but who among those present did not understand.
The eyes of Lan Hui and others, which had recovered a little, suddenly turned red again.
Yinzhen's breathing became heavy and he couldn't help but clench Qi Buchen's hand. Although Qi Buchen was so drowsy that he couldn't even hear what everyone was saying, he could still feel the pain.
"pain."
Her voice was not loud, but the room was quiet at that moment, so Yinzhen still heard it and asked hurriedly: "Where does it hurt?"
Qi Buchen certainly couldn't answer her, but fortunately Lan Hui noticed it: "Master, Fu Jin's hand..."
Yinzhen lowered his gaze and realized that he had squeezed Fu Jin's hand until it turned red. He hurriedly loosened it, then gently squeezed it again and rubbed it: "It doesn't hurt."
This child-like tone of voice puzzled the imperial physician who had never seen it before. He had heard that the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Lady had a close relationship, but he had not expected that the Fourth Prince would behave like this towards the Fourth Lady.
After massaging Qi Buchen's hands, Yinzhen seemed to have made up his mind. He pursed his lips and said without question, "Please, Imperial Physician, please prioritize Madam Fu's health. As for other matters...if there are any conflicts, don't worry."
It was still a little difficult for him to say this, but it still stunned Lan Hui and others and the imperial physician.
Is what the Fourth Prince meant what they understood?
Yinzhen didn't want to explain any further. He was actually struggling with his thoughts. He was afraid he would regret it if he continued. He looked at the others in the room with a swift gaze: "Pretend you've never heard of this matter, and don't tell Fu Jin!"
Lan Hui and the others were still in shock and were a moment late in responding.
"Don't you understand what my master is saying?" Yinzhen frowned fiercely. He was in a bad mood and didn't want to maintain a good attitude in front of the people around Fu Jin.
"As you command," Lan Hui and the others were frightened and responded quickly.
Of course, the imperial physician also said that he would control his mouth, but when prescribing the prescription, although Yinzhen said that Qi Buchen's health was the most important thing, he still considered it carefully and made sure to take care of all aspects. Although the prescription he prescribed was slow to take effect, it was safe.
One of them was injured and the other was sick. In order to prevent the spread of disease, they had to live separately. Although they still lived in the same courtyard, Yinzhen, who had developed the habit of hugging someone when sleeping, was still not used to it at night. In the end, he fell asleep thanks to the effects of the medicine.
When Yinzhen woke up again, the first thing he did was to ask about Qi Buchen's condition. Su Peisheng replied with dark circles under his eyes: "Fujin's fever has subsided a little, but she hasn't woken up yet."
Yinzhen was about to get up to check, but Su Peisheng pleaded with him, "Master, the wound on your body is quite large. The imperial physician said you should rest well and don't move until it scabs over, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted."
Yinzhen refused to listen, so Su Peisheng had to bring up Qi Buchen: "If you insist on doing this, I can only complain to Fu Jin after she wakes up."
"You dare to threaten me?" Yinzhen glared at him.
Su Peisheng knelt on the ground, his expression miserable. "I dare not. I just know that if Fu Jin were awake, she would never want to see you ruining your body like this. Master, even if you don't want to think about yourself, you should think about Fu Jin. If Fu Jin wakes up, will she be happy to see your condition improve, or will she be happy to see your condition worsen?"
Su Peisheng didn't bother to decorate his speech art, and his words were quite straightforward, which made Yinzhen silent.
Yinzhen glared at the ignorant servant again, then closed his eyelids and said, "Bring me all the prescriptions that Fu Jin has taken."
"Yeah." Su Peisheng responded quickly and ran out.
Yinzhen looked through several prescriptions that were similar in appearance, his brows furrowed slightly. He was also knowledgeable about medicine, so he couldn't see that the imperial physician's prescription was too mild. He asked worriedly, "Has Fu Jin's condition really improved?"
"How dare I lie to you?" Su Peisheng said affirmatively.
Yinzhen moved his lips but ultimately said nothing. If he could take both sides into consideration, that would of course be the best outcome. He was indeed looking forward to having a child.
Well, let’s do it this way for now. If Fu Jin doesn’t wake up tonight, let the imperial physician change the prescription.
Yinzhen suppressed his anxiety, drank the medicine and forced himself to fall asleep. Su Peisheng was right, he had to heal his wounds quickly. He must personally participate in the follow-up investigation of this assassination.
If Fu Jin really couldn't be saved... he would make those people live a life worse than death!
When Yinzhen woke up again, Su Peisheng reported with a happy face: "Master, Fu Jin is awake!"
Yinzhen was overjoyed, but also angry: "Why didn't you wake me up!" As he said that, he was about to get up. Because of his back injury, he had been sleeping on his stomach for the past two days.
Su Peisheng quickly stopped him: "Master, please don't, Fu Jin was only awake for a short while and fell asleep after drinking the medicine."
Yinzhen became even angrier: "You little dog slave!"
"Master, don't be angry. The first thing the concubine asked about your condition after waking up. Knowing that you were asleep, she ordered the servants not to wake you up." Su Peisheng was now bolder. "You said the concubine's words, and the servants dared not disobey."
He looked aggrieved.
Yinzhen glared at him and said coldly, "How about this, I'll send you to serve the Concubine." He didn't say this out of anger towards the Concubine, but simply because he felt that Su Peisheng was so audacious that he dared to use the Concubine to pressure him again and again. What happened between him and the Concubine was a matter between the two of them, and it was not something that could be used by a servant.
Su Peisheng saw that Yinzhen was really angry. His knees weakened, and he did not dare to beg for mercy: "This slave deserves to die. Please punish me, sir."
"When you return to the capital, go and receive ten strokes of the cane yourself." Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If you can't fulfill your duties, then go back to the Imperial Household Department."
The master had never said such harsh words before. Su Peisheng was so frightened that he dared not breathe. He kowtowed repeatedly and promised: "I understand. Thank you for sparing my life."
This incident left a deep impression on Su Peisheng. No matter how high he rose in the future, he always remembered his duty and dared not overstep it.
After this, Su Peisheng got up from the ground and said carefully: "Master, while you were asleep, the eldest prince sent someone to ask about your and Fu Jin's experiences over the past half day. What do you think?"
"Bring him in." Yinzhen's tone was cold.
