The two chatted idly, and Jiang Ling was gentle and pleasant throughout. She answered whatever was asked and occasionally made a joke, which made Zhou Ning'an laugh non-stop.
Finally, when Cao Yuan gave Zhou Ning'an a slight support from behind when she fell backward with laughter, Jiang Ling pretended to be surprised and asked her carefully and softly, "Is the Queen pregnant..."
Zhou Ning'an's smile deepened, and his face was filled with motherly kindness.
"It's been two months," she whispered.
Although it will not be made public until three months have passed, it does not mean that it must be kept secret. This is not something shameful.
Jiang Ling was surprised and delighted, and expressed his blessings to her.
Then, with seemingly unintentional concern, he reminded her, "Your Majesty, please be careful. My mother said that the first three months are the most unstable, so you must be careful with everything."
Zhou Ning'an nodded, smiled, and took her hand: "Okay, I will be very careful."
As he said this, he jokingly patted Cao Yuan's hand and said, "With Sister Cao here, I have to be more careful in everything I do."
Cao Yuan smiled, but looked at her with a hint of reproach, "Your Majesty's pregnancy is still unstable, you should be more careful."
Zhou Ning'an responded in every way as if begging for mercy. Jiang Ling, who was watching from the side, could see that the two of them had a deep affection for each other.
At this time, her personal maids Yingxue and Panxia walked in slowly, bowed, and said that it was time to take the pregnancy-maintaining medicine.
Jiang Ling looked at the black medicine and became alert instantly.
Don’t the palace fighting dramas always involve tampering with pregnancy-preserving drugs?
I just heard Cao Yuan say that Zhou Ningan's fetus is unstable. Could there be something wrong with this medicine?
Jiang Ling pursed her lips, frowned, and asked, "Such a dark medicine must be extremely bitter."
Zhou Ning'an was also very annoyed. The medicine tasted very bitter and fishy, and she was very reluctant to drink it, but there was nothing she could do.
"Yes, every time I finish drinking, I have to eat two candied fruits to slow down the process." She sighed.
Feng Yu heard the noise and hurried over, saying softly, "Good medicine tastes bitter, but you have to take it well for your own health."
He took the medicine bowl, picked up the spoon and was about to feed her himself.
Zhou Ning'an glanced at Jiang Ling, feeling rather embarrassed, and whispered, "Ling'er is still here."
"No need to be so formal, we are all family." Feng Yu said with a smile.
Anyway, we are a family from now on, so there are no need to follow so many rules.
Jiang Ling looked at the loving couple and felt that she was a little redundant.
Just looking at the bowl of medicine, she felt a little uneasy.
He lowered his head and rolled his eyes, then asked, "Which imperial physician prescribed such a bitter medicine? He didn't even mention adding some sweet herbs."
She acted coquettishly and joked with a smile.
It would make her look foolish, but she needed more information.
Who prepared this medicine? Was it the same doctor An who didn't arrive in time to help Zhou Ning with her miscarriage?
Zhou Ning'an pushed the medicine bowl and whispered, "It's too hot, let it air out."
Feng Yu had no choice but to smile helplessly and stir the medicine continuously with a spoon.
"It was prescribed by Doctor Lin. If you ask me, the medicine is so bitter that no one can swallow it." Zhou Ning'an was also very disgusted.
Doctor Lin?
The book does not mention the existence of such a doctor named Lin.
Feng Yu and Zhou Jing'an couldn't help laughing when they heard the two men singing the same tune, making Doctor Lin's words sound like poison.
Zhou Jing'an walked over, looked down at her, and decided to say something fair for Doctor Lin.
"Doctor Lin comes from a long-established family of doctors. He is particularly skilled in treating women's and children's illnesses and is a gynecologist. When my sister gave birth to Hua Xu, he was there to guide the female doctors."
So that's it.
Jiang Ling pursed her lips and said, "There are so many experts in the Imperial Hospital. I heard that there is a doctor named An whose medical skills are also very superb."
Feng Yu stirred the medicine while saying to her, "Doctor An is indeed an expert in gynecology, but he is still inexperienced and needs more training."
Still young?
Jiang Ling's brain was working rapidly. When she raised her eyes, she saw Zhou Ning'an had already taken the medicine from Feng Yu's hand, frowned and took a sip.
Her hands suddenly clenched and her heart was in a knot.
No, even if she tried to stop her from drinking now, it would be too weird if she didn't tell her for no reason.
She had to find a way to get the formula or residue of the pregnancy-preserving medicine and send it to He Zui to see if there was any problem.
Jiang Ling watched her drink the medicine mouthful by mouthful, feeling anxious and uneasy. After thinking for a while, he spoke.
"Since Imperial Physician Lin is so skilled, could you please give me a copy of the formula for this pregnancy-preserving medicine?"
After she finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at her.
As an unmarried woman, why do you need the formula for this pregnancy-maintaining medicine?
Zhou Jing'an was also puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, she began to explain, "Mother and I just returned to the capital from Fuzhou. We saw that my aunt hasn't been in good health since giving birth to my cousin. We still don't know the reason. They only say that she didn't take good care of the pregnancy, which led to the premature birth and her health is weak."
"Therefore, I would like to take the liberty of asking for a recipe and compare it with the pregnancy-maintaining medicine that my aunt took to see if there is something wrong."
Jiang Ling acted as if she was extremely worried about her aunt, with a humble attitude and a nervous look on her face.
Zhou Ning'an had given birth before, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for a woman to give birth. She immediately felt the same way and frowned, saying a few words of concern.
She waved to Yingxue and said, "Go and copy the prescription given by Doctor Lin for Ling'er."
Jiang Ling was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank the queen.
Yingxue responded, and Panxia beside her also took the medicine bowl and bowed respectfully: "This servant will also withdraw."
