Chapter 84 Happy Event
That day, Li Zheng packed up and went to Madam Cheng's house. As soon as she arrived, Madam Cheng immediately came out to greet her warmly, saying, "Why are you so polite? Why don't you rest at home first when you come back? Come to my place."
Li Zheng smiled but said nothing. This was just how Madam Cheng was. When she arrived at the living room, she saw Madam Yang and Madam Wan already sitting there. It seemed she was late.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Li Zheng said to the two ladies with a hint of apology. In fact, she knew that the two ladies would not blame her, but she still had to be polite.
As expected, Madam Yang said, "Why are you being so polite? We came early, how can we blame you for being late?" Madam Wan also smiled and nodded at her, saying, "Yes, it's not too late since it's not past this time yet."
Madam Yang turned to Madam Cheng and said, "And you, you should be careful at a time like this. You rushed out recklessly. I'm sure your general will scold you if he finds out." Madam Cheng disagreed and said arrogantly, "I don't think he dares."
Hearing this, Li Zheng looked over at Madam Cheng, seeing her hand touching her belly from time to time. Could it be? She looked at Madam Wan, and seeing her nod, she knew she was pregnant. This was truly unbelievable. Only Madam Cheng would be so careless knowing she was pregnant. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.
Li Zheng turned to congratulate Madam Cheng, "Congratulations, Madam."
Mrs. Cheng turned and pinched her, "You mischievous monkey." A smile spread across her face. The years of frustration in her heart also dissipated. Outsiders only knew that her husband loved her, but who could understand her own pain? Her husband had been the only son in three generations, and she hadn't had a child in almost five years. She was almost unable to hold on. If she hadn't discovered that she was not feeling well a few days ago, she would not have known she was pregnant. Fortunately, she could give her husband an explanation.
Seeing Mrs. Cheng's happy face, Li Zheng remembered that she had heard someone say that Mrs. Cheng had not given birth in five years after her marriage. But seeing that Mrs. Cheng looked indifferent, she now thought that she must have cared at that time.
At this time, Madam Yang advised: "Don't tell anyone about it now. Wait until it's been three months. Otherwise, if people find out, they will think you're frivolous." Li Zheng understood that it had to be three months before it was announced. Before three months, the fetus was not yet firmly seated, and there might be accidents that would make people disappointed, so it was usually not announced until after three months.
Mrs. Wan nodded in agreement, and Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes: "I'm not that stupid to tell lies everywhere. I only told you guys because I get along well with you." The three of them burst into laughter when they heard it.
"Oh, that's enough, I won't laugh anymore. My stomach hurts from laughing. By the way, are you having morning sickness or something like that?" Madam Yang rubbed her stomach and asked Madam Cheng. The maids were outside, and there were only the three of them in the room, otherwise she wouldn't be able to laugh like that.
"Not yet, well, I'm just waiting for my sister to do it for me!" After saying that, he looked at Li Zheng, as if to say that if you don't give it to me, I'll give you a hard time.
Li Zheng also said mischievously, "Don't worry, sister. Just tell me what you want to eat when the time comes."
"Oh, then I'm really grateful to you for the baby in my belly." Then he asked, "How is General Gu?"
Li Zheng had known she would be questioned when she arrived, and had already drafted a draft. "Well, now I'm back on the front lines." Now they knew they were the ones who had saved the lives, so there was nothing to hide.
"Well, it's good that he's healed. I don't know what that person was thinking, using such a vicious method." Madam Yang was also indignant. "But I really didn't expect your medical skills to be so good." Madam Yang sincerely admired Li Zheng. She admired people with ability the most.
What she could say was naturally modest: "No, it was just luck."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wan said at this time: "Don't be modest. This is also your ability. Besides, we all know that you presented the prescription to King Qi. It is your contribution that half of King Wu's territory was occupied." Maybe she can be conferred a lady in the future, but she didn't say this. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future.
Madam Yang and Madam Cheng echoed, "Yes, we all know about this." Seeing that they didn't seem to be pretending, Li Zheng wondered if the King of Qi would publicize this matter. Impossible, it probably couldn't be kept secret, but there was no harm in doing so.
The time passed as they talked.
Li Zheng sat in the carriage, thinking it was just a simple chat. She hadn't expected it to be so tiring. Sure enough, socializing was exhausting. But these ladies were truly adorable.
Meanwhile, the Qi King's army was cleaning up the battlefield, and the handover of the city would take time.
…
"Pa!" A man wearing a black hat and a dark red robe knelt down and said to the angry person in front of him: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't get sick from anger." The voice was shrill, but the man was dressed like a eunuch.
The one above was naturally the King of Wei, "Calm down, calm down! What else can you say besides this! The King of Wu is so useless that he actually lost half of his territory, eight cities! Eight! What did he promise me at the beginning? He said nice things that he would definitely stop the King of Qi. I even gave him more chips, but how does he repay me now!" After saying that, he punched the desk again.
The eunuch heard this and quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please don't hurt yourself." The King of Wei became even angrier when he heard this. The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it."
"explain."
"Your Majesty, I heard that someone presented a prescription to the King of Qi, which enabled the King of Qi to defeat the King of Wu." The eunuch said tremblingly.
"Then what?"
"Let's find that person and kill him. Then let the Poison Man come up with a different medicine. This way, no one will be able to crack the Poison Man's prescription."
The King of Wei said nothing after hearing this, but the eunuch knew that he had heard it. Sure enough, the King of Wei immediately summoned the general, and the eunuch quietly stood up and stood behind.
Although this plan is a bit crude, its purpose is right. However, to be on the safe side, I still need to discuss it with someone.
Meanwhile, Li Zheng, completely unaware that someone was trying to kill her, was still tinkering in the pharmacy. She figured it was the Spiritual Spring Water that had allowed her to find a solution so quickly the previous time. If it weren't for the Spiritual Spring Water, would she still be able to find a solution? So, these past few days, she'd been digging in and couldn't stop.
"Madam! It's time for dinner!" A Yue still called her loudly.
"I see, ah~" Seeing Li Zheng yawn, A Yue suggested, "Madam, take a rest after dinner. Staying in the pharmacy every day is not enough for your health."
This time she didn't refuse. I don't know what happened, but she kept yawning all day. Maybe it was spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue, um, spring.
