With no other choice, Xuan Tianyi could only go to Baicaotang again, leave some money there, and ask the doctor there to go to the Princess's Mansion every day. Even if it meant delaying the treatment, Xiangrong's illness had to be delayed, and she had to hold on until Feng Yuheng returned to Beijing.
The people at Baicaotang naturally knew that Feng Yuheng and Feng Xiangrong were sisters with deep affection. They pushed back the money Xuan Tianyi gave them and said to him, "The Third Miss is our boss's sister. How can we charge her for her medical treatment? What's more, she lives in the Princess's Mansion. If we ask for money, the boss will drive us all out of the capital when he comes back. Don't worry, Fourth Prince! We at Baicaotang will discuss it right now and simply assign a few doctors to live in the Princess's Mansion in rotation to ensure that there is a doctor around the Third Miss at any time and anywhere. Just like you said, even if we can't cure her, we have to delay it until the boss comes back."
Waiting for Feng Yuheng to come back is a hopeful and helpless thought. Generally speaking, with the establishment of Baicao Hall and Baicao Medical College, most diseases can be cured, and even some difficult diseases can be solved through surgery. There are many doctors in Baicao Hall who were taught by Feng Yuheng and Yao Xian. They have mastered superb and advanced medical skills and can basically replace Feng Yuheng to perform most surgeries.
But there are still some diseases that they cannot cure, and such diseases used to need to be handed over to Feng Yuheng or Yao Xian. Once someone is handed over, it means that the person is extremely ill, but because they can be treated by Feng Yuheng or Yao Xian personally, it becomes less scary.
This is a very contradictory reality, but generally speaking, people still hope that they are not seriously ill. But now, Feng Xiangrong has to lie on the sickbed and wait quietly. There is no Yao Xian in this world. Except for her second sister, no one can save her.
There was not only one person waiting for Feng Yuheng to return to Beijing, but also someone in Pingnan General's Mansion who was anxiously waiting for Feng Yuheng to return. In other words, it was not just one person, but everyone in the mansion.
The young lady of General Pingnan's mansion, Lu Ping, married Ren Xitao in early April this year. She is now three months pregnant, but she has been bleeding a little since she was a little over two months pregnant. She asked a doctor from Baicaotang to see her, and he said that it could be cured, but the most effective medicine was sold out by Baicaotang. Because Feng Yuheng had not returned to Beijing for too long, the medicine had not been replenished, so it could not be taken out now.
Without Feng Yuheng's special medicine, we can only follow the traditional treatment, but the effect is not very good. Chinese medicine treatment is slow to take effect, and it is not urgent for diseases to be treated. For urgent diseases like pregnancy, it is more difficult.
This was the first child of Ren Xitao and Lu Ping, and also the first grandchild of General Pingnan's family. General Pingnan attached great importance to this child. A large amount of supplements were sent to Lu Ping's room, and all were examined by the doctor, who nodded his approval before giving Lu Ping the food.
Unfortunately, Lu Ping's body still did not recover. In order to protect the fetus, she lay in bed all day and dared not get down.
It was not a solution to keep going like this. General Pingnan risked his reputation and went to the palace to ask the Sixth Prince when Feng Yuheng would be back. After hearing about the situation in General Pingnan's mansion, the Sixth Prince took the initiative to ask the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital to prepare the secret medicine in the palace for Lu Ping, but what the Imperial Hospital said was: "Generally, if a woman has signs of miscarriage, she should be fumigated with moxa and drink some soup medicine. But in fact, it is not very effective, and it still depends on the woman's physical condition. Originally, the palace should have prepared some good medicine or found some good prescriptions in this regard, but in the past few decades, as you know, the Sixth Prince, the harem has become a decoration, and the Qianjin Department has also become a decoration."
This has been made very clear. The emperor will not enter the harem, and the empress in the palace has no children. Who would be willing to keep studying whether to keep the fetus? General Pingnan had no choice. After thanking the Sixth Prince and leaving the palace, he could only wait for Feng Yuheng to come back.
There was a guest female doctor in the mansion who came to fumigate Lv Ping every day. Lv Ping was not in a good condition. She felt tired all day and even had no strength to speak. The doctor said she couldn't get out of bed, otherwise she might have a miscarriage at any time. She wondered if she and this child were not destined to be together? Or did this child not like her and wanted to end the mother-child relationship in this way?
At the beginning of the pregnancy, the doctor said that it was most likely a boy, and General Pingnan was very happy. Although there was no concept of favoring boys over girls in the mansion, General Pingnan was a military general, and he always hoped to have a grandson to enjoy his life, and when he was a few years older, he could take him to practice martial arts. She had high hopes for this child, and was happy that she could continue the family line for the Ren family. Her husband suffered a lot and made a lot of efforts to be with her. Despite the malicious slander of the Lu family, General Pingnan's mansion did not reject her. She was very grateful to this family.
However, as much gratitude as guilt comes with it. She is pregnant, but faces the possibility of losing the child at any time. How can she be at peace?
Everyone in the general's mansion knew that Lu Ping was upset. Seeing her getting thinner day by day, even General Pingnan couldn't stand it anymore. He said to Lu Ping: "No matter whether the child can be saved or not, you are still my Ren family's daughter-in-law. The Ren family doesn't have any rules for daughters-in-law just because they lost the child. If the eldest son bullies you, your parents will stand up for you."
A great victory in the East Realm, but this victory was just like when Xuan Tianming came back from the Northwest many years ago, there was only victory, but no joy. Because in this battle, Xuan Tianhua died, because at this time in Kyoto, Yao Xian was gone, Feng Xiangrong was seriously ill, and the young lady of the Pingnan General's Mansion was in danger of losing her fetus, it seemed that nothing good was going to happen.
As a result, a rumor spread among the people. Some people said that all this was retribution, the retribution for the Ninth Prince's massacre of Jiancheng.
Gradually, the rumor became more and more convincing, spreading from the capital to other provinces, and soon to all directions. As a result, almost everyone in Dashun knew that the Seventh Prince died at the hands of the 300,000 innocent people massacred by the Ninth Prince, and that those in the capital who were related to the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu were also implicated in the massacre, some died, some fell ill, and even the fetuses in their wombs could not escape.
When General Pingnan heard this, he was furious and started yelling in the street: "You are believing nonsense! You are endangering the country! If there is retribution on the battlefield, then the Zong Sui people deserve it. The war was started by Zong Sui, who colluded with Duanmu Anguo to blow up the Seventh Prince. You don't go to find the real culprit of your hatred, but instead, under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, you point the tip of your knife at your own people. Are your eyes blind? Are your hearts blind too? You don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, and you are led by the nose by the thieves?"
The Yao family also sent Yao Jingjun as a representative to speak out: "My father was old, and his death was a natural death. It has nothing to do with retribution. When you listen to slander and make unwarranted accusations, please think about the kindness that the Ninth Prince and Princess Yu have shown you. Also, who did they fight for? It was to protect Dashun from being invaded and to protect the people from suffering. If Zong Sui had attacked Dashun first, we would have been the ones to be slaughtered. The reason we are all still alive is because of the bravery of the Ninth Prince, Princess Yu and the Seventh Prince."
In fact, most people were on the side of Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng. The reason why General Pingnan and the Yao family came forward one after another was to tell people that there were people with ulterior motives among them who were stirring up trouble. At the same time, they also reminded those people not to take Dashun as a fool.
In Prince Chun's mansion, Concubine Yun ordered several dishes today. She said that people have a good appetite in autumn because the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and it is refreshing and pleasant. It is the best time of the year.
The servants brought the dishes she ordered to the table as she was told, but Concubine Yun stood up and served herself, one bowl after another, and then placed the extra bowl next to her. She then said to the servants, "Hua'er may come back at any time. From now on, there must be a bowl and chopsticks left for him on the table."
The maidservant serving beside her couldn't hold back her sadness, so she turned her head away and wiped away her tears. When she turned back, her red and swollen eyes were seen by Concubine Yun.
Concubine Yun was unhappy. She placed her chopsticks heavily on the table and said solemnly to the servants in the room with a stern face, "Listen, don't believe the rumors outside. The people are mourning for Hua'er without knowing the reason. I don't support it. Hua'er is not dead yet, so how can there be mourning? You should also put on your smiling faces and wait patiently. Ming'er and Ah Heng are already on their way, and Hua'er must be with them."
After saying that, she glanced at the empty seat with the bowls and chopsticks filled with rice, and said in a mysterious voice, "Eat! Ming'er has a bad temper. When I ask him to eat with me, he always sits opposite me, thinking that it is best. But only Hua'er is willing to stay with me. Being close is the most intimate. Although you are not my own, I took you home when you were still in swaddling clothes. To me, you are no different from my own child. Eat! I know you like to eat vegetarian food, so I specially asked them to make it."
After she finished speaking, she went back to eating, but those few words made the servants feel sad.
Concubine Yun's condition was not very good. She often spoke incoherently. One moment ago, she was clearly persuading others not to be sad and that the Seventh Prince must not be dead. But when she turned around, she started talking seriously to the empty chair, as if the Seventh Prince was sitting there, speaking calmly and naturally.
They didn't know how to persuade Concubine Yun, but they were too anxious to set up a wake for the Seventh Prince in time. After all, this was the Prince Chun's Mansion, and now the news of the Seventh Prince's death was a foregone conclusion, even several princes had acquiesced to this fact, but the Prince Chun's Mansion could not set up a wake and place a coffin for him, which made them, the servants, feel uneasy.
Therefore, many people secretly burned paper money for Xuan Tianhua at night. They were not afraid of being discovered because all the servants, including the eunuch in charge, were burning paper, and no one would pursue the rule that private sacrifices could not be performed in the mansion.
Until this night...
