Chapter 376 A False Alarm
"Spit it out..."
"Aunt, spit it out quickly."
Little Miaomiao was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
For some reason, she felt that this moment overlapped with the scene in her dream.
It's like history repeating itself.
She couldn't imagine that if her aunt-in-law kept eating that thing, she would become addicted over time.
It will cause irreversible harm to both her and the child.
I don’t know if I can make it to the birthing stage.
Even if you can survive the birth, it is hard to say whether the baby will be born safely, healthy, or deformed.
At this time, giving birth for a woman is like going through the gates of hell.
Eating this stuff is like adding another hurdle to your death.
The person who gave this thing is so wicked.
I am talking about my grandfather, the emperor, whom I never met.
Lu Qingyao saw that Mu Qianxue was in good condition and was not sure whether she was poisoned.
Then he turned around and pulled the serving nanny aside to ask, "Mammy, has the princess added imperial rice to her meals these days?"
Seeing that the nanny didn't react for a moment, she added, "It's the magic medicine that the emperor gave to the princess."
"I added it." Mammy slapped her head and remembered, "I added it to yesterday's chicken soup and today's stewed lamb. The masters all said they were delicious..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by King Jing who had hurried back.
Prince Jing strode towards them with big steps, and without saying a word, he carried Mu Qianxue back to the couch.
There were two imperial physicians following behind him, and they couldn't catch up with King Jing even if they ran.
He turned around and said to the imperial physician, "Quick! Take the princess's pulse."
After saying that, he took Mu Qianxue's hand and asked all sorts of questions, "Xue'er, are you feeling unwell? Are you feeling dizzy or nauseous?"
Mu Qianxue was bewildered.
First, Lu Qingyao asked her a bunch of questions.
Then Miaomiao asked her to spit out what she had eaten.
At this moment, King Jing hurriedly brought the imperial physician back to take his pulse.
She just took his pulse early this morning.
Looking at King Jing again, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and the back of his clothes was wet.
Did he come back running?
The room was dead silent, and everyone was staring at the two doctors.
The two imperial doctors trembled with fear and felt a chill down their spines.
He checked the pulse again and again, fearing that a mistake would cost him his life. After a long while, he finally said, "Your Highness, the princess's pregnancy is stable and there are no signs of poisoning."
Looking at Prince Jing's gloomy face, a royal physician spoke cautiously again, "Your Highness, I think the princess didn't eat much, so she doesn't have any symptoms. If you're really worried, you can induce vomiting and everything will be fine."
"Then induce vomiting, don't waste time." King Jing said impatiently.
He thought these people were quacks.
Otherwise, my father and the prince would have almost died from eating that stuff.
These quack doctors take pulses every day and find nothing wrong.
"I don't want to induce vomiting."
Mu Qianxue had the two imperial physicians sent away, then she grabbed King Jing's hand and asked, "What poison was I poisoned with? Was it arsenic or arsenic?"
Is this going to kill me?
But why don’t I feel anything?
No wonder Miaomiao kept asking her to spit it out.
"No...it's neither arsenic nor arsenic." King Jing looked guilty and blamed himself.
"Xue'er, it's all my fault. Why did I add imperial rice to the soup? It's poisonous. You can't eat it. Are you feeling unwell anywhere now?"
It was only when he was summoned into the palace by his imperial sister that he realized that this thing could cure diseases but also harm people.
Pregnant women should not touch it.
Fortunately, my father still speaks of it as miraculous.
It almost hurt Xueer and the child.
He was speechless to his father.
"Xue'er, don't eat anything given by your father in the future." Too unreliable.
Prince Jing thought for a moment and then explained, "Father was also deceived. Mother has already conducted a thorough investigation. Xue'er, it's important that you spit out those things immediately."
Mu Qianxue: "...I'm not poisoned."
"How could you not be poisoned? I saw you eat so much mutton with my own eyes. Hurry, don't be afraid, induce vomiting quickly."
Mu Qianxue was a bit amused and tried to comfort her agitated husband, "I'm really not poisoned. I've had morning sickness these past few days and vomited everything I ate. In fact, all I ate was corn porridge, which had nothing in it except honey."
King Jing: ...
I feel that Xueer’s voice is like the sound of nature.
I was so excited holding her hand that I couldn't say a word.
When he heard that there was a problem with the imperial rice, he ignored everything else and rushed back immediately.
I’m afraid something might happen to Xue’er.
It was a false alarm and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, I felt that the entire back of my clothes was soaked with sweat.
He didn't care about anything else and sat down next to his wife, stroking her belly as if no one was around.
"Fortunately, everything is fine. May Buddha bless you..."
When he raised his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Miaomiao looking at him with a smile.
He suddenly thought of the words of the old Taoist in Jiangzhou.
He said Miaomiao is a blessed child, and everyone around her is blessed by her and can turn bad luck into good luck.
Before, he felt that what the Taoist said was confusing.
But since he recognized Miaomiao, he believed it.
He carefully pondered the old Taoist priest's words, and almost every sentence had a deep meaning, especially the one that said Jia Yuede was not worthy of the position.
This really came true.
He pulled Miaomiao's little hand over and placed it on his wife's belly. "Miaomiao, your aunt is pregnant. You will have a little brother or sister soon. You must come and talk to her often."
Jiang Miaomiao stroked her aunt's soft belly.
Normally, a fetus of two or three months old cannot feel or touch anything.
But she could just feel that there was a little life inside.
She still felt a lingering fear when she thought of that dream.
She couldn't rest easy until the baby was born safely.
If I want my aunt-in-law's baby to be born safely, the backyard must be peaceful first.
"Uncle, can you promise me something?"
"What's the matter, Miaomiao, just tell me."
"Uncle, if you marry another woman in this palace, my aunt will be unhappy. If she's unhappy, she won't be able to properly take care of the baby. Most importantly, if you marry a bad woman, not only will it cause chaos in the palace, but what if she's malicious and wants to harm my aunt or replace the child?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Lu Qingyao pulled Xiuxiu out quietly.
The child's words may be harsh but his point is true.
If it were in the past, she would have stepped forward, covered her daughter's mouth, and taken her away.
It's different now.
She is the niece of the person inside, so nothing can be said too much.
No matter what he said, King Jing would not do anything to him.
At most, just glare at me.
He kept saying that he was devoted to Xue'er, but that was not enough.
Mu Qianxue was so moved that tears were about to fall.
It's worth it for her to teach the child and think so much about her.
King Jing was stunned for a moment, and his nose felt sore.
He gently stroked his niece's head and said solemnly, "Uncle promises you that he will never take a concubine, and will never let such a thing happen again."
When I think of Miaomiao’s experiences, I feel heartbroken.
This kid is trying to stop him from taking a concubine in a roundabout way.
Having Xue'er was enough for him, so why would he think about taking a concubine? He just wanted his brother, the Crown Prince, to get better soon.
He just wanted to live a good life with Xue'er.
As they were talking, someone from the palace came to inquire about Princess Jing's situation.
The emperor also gave many gifts of consolation.
In the study.
King Jing asked the eunuch who came to give him the gift, "How is the emperor doing? Has the person who gave him the imperial rice been found?"
"We've found out. It was the medicine prescription presented to the emperor by Concubine Qi. The emperor's headache was cured after taking it, and he has been dependent on that medicine ever since. That's why the Imperial Medical Bureau always keeps royal rice on hand. The princes and concubines use this medicine whenever they have a headache or cough. It's surprisingly effective, but the prince is too weak to bear it." The eunuch who spoke was someone Prince Jing had placed beside the emperor.
"Keep investigating, find out where Qi Cairen's prescription came from." If she hadn't offered the prescription, this person would have been sent to the cold palace long ago.
My father is old and very suspicious.
Now that King Chen is back, the enemy is in the dark, and he has to be on guard.
