Chapter 164: Twins
Around the hour of Mao.
People who came to buy vegetables found that the entire market was empty, with no vegetables and no people.
The people from Jingzhao Prefecture came to investigate immediately.
As a result, the vegetable vendors all gave the same excuse: they were not feeling well and were not setting up their stalls.
The officer naturally didn't believe it. How could such a coincidence happen?
Moreover, patrolling soldiers from the Bingmasi saw many vegetable vendors transporting vegetables into the city.
But they couldn't identify the specific person, and not setting up a stall didn't count as a crime, so the investigation ended in vain.
But the officials ordered the vegetable vendors to enter the city immediately to sell vegetables, otherwise their passes during the curfew would be revoked.
When the vegetable market became bustling again, Ye Chutang, who had just taken a nap, also woke up.
She doesn't plan to go out today.
After breakfast, she began to embroider the mandarin duck veil.
The original owner's embroidery skills were very good, and Ye Chutang completed the task in just one day.
She used the remaining two days to stock up on supplies.
In addition to buying out the vegetable market, she also bought as much grain, wine and cooked vegetables as possible.
Of course, she would go to the palace every day.
“Buy for 0 Yuan”.
The palace, which houses tens of thousands of people, is rich in supplies.
Charcoal from the Xixin Department, straw paper from the Baochao Department, weapons from the Bingzhang Bureau, clothes from the Needlework Bureau, fruits and vegetables from the Siyuan Bureau...
There are also food from the imperial kitchen and medicine from the imperial medical office.
And all the valuable things in the three palaces and six courtyards.
Ye Chutang was not spared and almost emptied the entire palace.
The upgraded space is no longer empty at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She looked at the amazing results and was very satisfied.
When preparing to leave the space, Ye Chutang discovered that the merit value, which he had not paid attention to for a long time, had increased by more than 100,000 points.
And it is still continuing to increase.
She soon figured it out.
It is a prescription for preventing and treating plague, and has saved countless people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Shan'er's voice came from the door of the boudoir.
"Miss, King Chen sent someone to deliver a letter to you."
Ye Chutang came out of the space, sat up, and lifted the bed curtain.
"Come in"
Shan'er handed the letter to Ye Chutang.
"Miss, the Ministry of Rites has just delivered the wedding dress and headgear. Would you like to try them on?"
"No, even if it's not suitable, it's too late to change it."
Ye Chutang finished speaking and opened the letter.
Qi Yanzhou asked her to meet and discuss tomorrow's layout and arrangements.
After reading it, she tore the letter into pieces and threw it into the unfinished tea on the coffee table.
The tea smudged the ink and blurred the writing.
Even if Qi Yanzhou didn't look for her, she planned to secretly go to Prince Chen's Mansion to see him.
Arrange for Shan'er and Jinzhi to go to the northwest.
"Shan'er, go tell Aunt Jin to pack your luggage. I will let you out of the house before I get married tomorrow."
Shan'er knew that Ye Chutang had other plans for her and Jinzhi.
"Yes, Miss."
Ye Chutang stood up, stretched, and took his own pulse as a routine.
The pulse is strong and the child is developing well.
When she let go, her fingers suddenly stopped and shock appeared on her beautiful face.
She calmed down and took the patient's pulse carefully.
But the abnormal pulse just now seemed to be an illusion and did not appear again.
Ye Chutang did not dare to be careless and immediately entered the space.
She went to the examination room and had an ultrasound.
On the screen, two embryo buds can be clearly seen.
"They are twins."
Through the instrument, it can be determined whether the baby is a twin at 6 weeks of pregnancy.
If you take the pulse, you have to wait at least two months of pregnancy before you can tell.
Ye Chutang printed the image and wiped off the coupling agent on his stomach.
Looking at the ultrasound report, her slender fingers fell on the two embryo buds and the corners of her mouth raised.
"Based on genetics, the possibility of fraternal eggs is very high."
She hopes to have twins, a boy and a girl.
After putting the B-ultrasound report in the lounge, Ye Chutang left the room.
She changed into slightly more gorgeous clothes and came to the yard.
Jinzhi immediately took out the bird's nest that was warm in the pot.
"Miss, it's not hot, just right for your mouth."
Ever since she knew Ye Chutang was pregnant, she started cooking according to medicinal food to alleviate the symptoms of morning sickness.
After lunch every day, she also prepares various nourishing soups.
The effect was quite obvious. Apart from feeling a little nauseous in the morning, Ye Chutang never vomited again.
She took the white porcelain cup and drank the bird's nest.
"I'm going out for a while. If my father wants to see me, just say I'll be back before dinner."
After saying this, she left the joyous Shangshu Mansion.
Ye Chutang went to Xinglin Hall first.
Shopkeeper Lin immediately showed the account book to Ye Chutang.
"Miss Ye, some of the medicinal materials have been transported away. Here are the details."
Ye Chutang took a quick look and returned the account book to Manager Lin.
"I trust the character of Shopkeeper Lin. I came here today to ask for a favor."
Shopkeeper Lin waved his hand quickly, "Miss Ye, there is no need to be so polite. Please speak."
"My younger brother will go to Hua Ting Academy to study tomorrow and live in the academy, but he is not in good health and needs acupuncture treatment from time to time. I would like to ask Manager Lin to send a doctor to give him acupuncture."
"It's a small matter. I will definitely take care of it."
After Ye Chutang taught the doctor how to use acupuncture to treat Jun'er, he wrote down the frequency of acupuncture.
"With acupuncture and medication, Jun'er will be fully recovered in two months at most."
After saying that, she gave Manager Lin one hundred taels of silver as consultation fees and medicine expenses.
Shopkeeper Lin couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
"Don't worry, Miss Ye. I will do my best to take care of your brother."
"It's troublesome."
Ye Chutang came out of Xinglin Hall and went to Wanbao Pavilion.
The craftsmen made several sets of hidden weapon jewelry that she ordered.
After taking the jewelry, she went to Guangjuxuan.
Qi Yanzhou was already waiting for her in the box.
He picked up the teapot and poured Ye Chutang a cup of brewed red date tea.
"Atang, are there any changes to the Emperor's arrangements?"
Ye Chutang took out the letter written by the emperor from his arms and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
"Nothing has changed. It's still weapons, letters, and witchcraft."
Qi Yanzhou opened the letter and looked at the words of treason written in imitation of his own handwriting, and raised the corners of his lips in mockery.
"Even if this letter is not destroyed, it cannot convict me."
Anyone who is literate can tell at a glance that the letter is a forgery.
Ye Chutang had already figured out that the letter was fake.
"Since the dog emperor has set up the plan, he would not leave such an obvious flaw. He may be testing me."
Tomorrow, these letters may be replaced with ones in a similar handwriting.
Qi Yanzhou thought so too and returned the letter to Ye Chutang.
"The letter is just a clue to find the voodoo dolls and weapons. It doesn't matter whether it's true or false."
"Yes, the most important things are weapons and voodoo dolls."
"I will destroy some of the weapons, but the letters..."
"Replace the letter with this."
Ye Chutang took out the letter from the space in which Ye Jingchuan colluded with the crown prince and the second prince and handed it to Qi Yanzhou.
After reading it, Qi Yanzhou said, "If this letter is revealed to the emperor, Ye Jingchuan will be dismissed from office at best, or imprisoned at worst."
Colluding with the prince is a serious crime!
"Everything he has was given by my mother. He should have been returned to her long ago. There are weapons in the study and secret room of the Shangshu Mansion. They were prepared for the second prince's rebellion."
Ye Chutang wanted to thoroughly muddy the waters in the capital before being exiled.
After saying this, she remembered the weapons under the stables in Prince An's mansion.
Several days passed, and she hadn't heard that Zhao Mingxu's family had been imprisoned or exiled.
"A Zhou, when are you going to dig out the weapons in Prince An's mansion?"
