Chapter 110 Abdominal Pain
The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn.
Quan Minghe's big hands gently covered Shen Yuning's belly and rubbed it.
It was clearly her who was in pain, but the pain in his eyes seemed to be overflowing, his brows were furrowed, full of worry.
Soon, Doctor Hu hurried over.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Doctor Hu bowed and spoke in a steady voice.
"Come here quickly."
Quan Minghe didn't even raise his head, his voice was cold and anxious.
Doctor Hu did not dare to delay for even a moment. He stepped forward quickly, lifted the pearl curtain that separated the inside and the outside, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently placed it on Concubine Shen's slender wrist. Then he closed his eyes slightly, concentrated his mind, and began to take Shen's pulse carefully.
After a moment, Doctor Hu frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's pulse is deep and stringy, which means that the Qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, accompanied by a cold uterus."
He paused, then turned his gaze to Shen Yuning, his tone concerned and somewhat inquiring: "I wonder when the Madam will have her period?"
Shen Yuning endured the abdominal pain and said weakly, "I just came yesterday."
Doctor Hu nodded slightly, his expression firm: "That's right, the queen is in her menstrual period, her uterus is cold, her menstrual blood is stagnant, so she has unbearable abdominal pain."
"I will prescribe some prescriptions for you to warm the meridians and dispel cold, and to activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, to help relieve your abdominal pain first. However, you must not be greedy for cold drinks in the future, and your diet should be mild and nourishing. Don't overwork on weekdays, so that your qi and blood can be regulated, and then the symptoms of uterine cold can be gradually improved."
Although Shen Yuning was somewhat puzzled, she had always been in good health and had hardly ever felt such pain before. However, she had no time to think about it at the moment. She endured the pain in her stomach and said softly, "I know."
After Doctor Hu left, Quan Minghe learned that she was just suffering from menstrual abdominal pain, and he felt relieved.
The big hand still stayed on her belly, rubbing it gently again and again.
"I remember half a month ago, Meimei said she was having her period."
Quan Minghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.
Shen Yuning pursed her lips and did not respond.
It was just an excuse I made up at the time.
Quan Minghe looked at her pale face and pitiful appearance, and his heart that wanted to pursue the matter softened instantly.
I don't want to ask any more questions.
He just lowered his head slightly, looked at her and said softly: "It seems that everything I say to you in the future will have to be carefully verified."
Shen Yuning curled her lips and turned her head to avoid his gaze, with a bit of stubbornness and a bit of the coquettishness of a little girl.
It's strange to say, looking at her like this, Quan Minghe only felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than when she was afraid of him and distant from him in recent days.
Even... there's a different kind of cuteness to it.
Doctor Hu left to prepare medicine.
Soon, Lan Ying walked into the carriage carrying the prepared medicine.
Hot steam rose from the medicine bowl, carrying a strong medicinal aroma.
Quan Minghe reached out to take the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful of medicine soup, blew it to his mouth, and when the temperature was right, he handed the spoon to Shen Yuning's lips, wanting to feed her the medicine himself.
Shen Yuning was almost exhausted by the severe pain in her stomach, which was really unbearable. When she saw the medicine coming, even though she knew it was extremely bitter, she could only frown and force herself to swallow the medicine.
"bitter……"
As the medicine went down her throat, the bitter taste instantly spread in her mouth, and Shen Yuning couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
Lan Ying was very careful. She picked up the dessert on the low table and passed it to Shen Yuning: "My queen, have something sweet."
Shen Yuning opened her mouth and took a bite of the dessert from Lan Ying's hand. The sweet taste slightly neutralized the bitterness in her mouth.
Lan Ying took the empty medicine bowl from Quan Minghe and quietly retreated.
"Better?"
Shen Yuning shook her head, her brows still furrowed: "Maybe the medicine I just drank hasn't taken effect yet."
Seeing her in so much pain, Quan Minghe couldn't bear it, so he held her on his lap and continued to massage her belly.
However, nearly two quarters of an hour later, Shen Yuning's face was still pale with pain, and the abdominal pain had not eased at all.
Could it be that I have been poisoned?
"It hurts so much..."
Shen Yuning's eyes were red and her voice was filled with tears.
Quan Minghe's heart sank suddenly.
Isn't it just the abdominal pain caused by menstrual fluid?
But Doctor Hu is an expert in medicine and is well versed in all the strange poisons in the world. If someone had been poisoned, he should have discovered it.
"Li Ming, call Doctor Hu over."
Doctor Hu came again to take Shen Yuning's pulse with a serious expression. Then, to be cautious, he even lifted up her eyelids to check and carefully observed her tongue coating.
After the examination, Doctor Hu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you probably just have abdominal pain caused by uterine cold."
"Your Majesty, although I am the imperial physician, my main research is on your Majesty's health and I have only a little knowledge of gynecology. The prescription I just prescribed is a universal prescription that is effective for most patients with uterine cold. Perhaps your Majesty has a special constitution..."
Quan Minghe's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Then let someone who is good at gynecology come over. Will it be possible to let Concubine Shen suffer all the time?"
Doctor Hu looked embarrassed: "This... The best gynecologist in the palace is Doctor Li, but he did not come with the emperor on this hunt."
Just then, Lan Ying walked into the carriage.
"Your Majesty, Madam,"
Lan Ying bowed slightly.
"This is the pill that Zhao Liangren sent over just now. Zhao Liangren said that she has been suffering from uterine cold since she was a child. This pill is a folk remedy from her hometown, and it is quite effective in relieving abdominal pain."
Quan Minghe raised his chin and looked at Doctor Hu, motioning him to come forward and check the pills.
Doctor Hu turned to Lan Ying and said, "Miss Lan Ying, give me the pills."
Lan Ying handed the pill over to Doctor Hu, who took it and first put it under his nose and sniffed it carefully. Then, he very carefully scraped off some powder with tweezers and put it in his mouth to taste it.
After a while, Doctor Hu reported back: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this pill. You can give it a try."
Shen Yuning's stomach was really hurting, so she didn't care about anything else. She took the pill and swallowed it.
For a moment, the carriage was silent and Doctor Hu was waiting quietly. If the Empress still couldn't get relief, he would have to think of other ways.
Time seemed to be stretched out to an unusually long length. After a cup of tea, Shen Yuning's expression gradually relaxed.
"Better?"
Shen Yuning nodded, her voice weak but full of relief: "Much better."
Seeing her pain gradually subside, Quan Minghe's stern face showed a lot of relief.
"Li Ming."
Quan Minghe turned to look at Li Ming, "Pass on my order, Mr. Zhao relieved Concubine Shen's abdominal pain, his kindness is commendable, and he is promoted to the seventh son."
Li Ming bowed and replied, "Yes."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao, who came from a humble background and usually kept a low profile, would have such good fortune.
Now, it’s Zhao Qizi.
