Chapter 191 Infertility
Emperor Yongning only felt a "buzzing" sound in his head, and subconsciously asked: "The imperial concubine is infertile, what does this mean?"
He heard every word clearly what Zhao Li said, but together, what did it mean?
"Back to the emperor, I have checked the pulse of the imperial concubine. The pulse of the imperial concubine is different. It looks like a slippery pulse, but in fact it is not! The imperial concubine is not pregnant at all, but has taken a poisonous medicine that will cause pregnancy signs!"
In order to emphasize that his judgment was correct, he said loudly: "I am willing to guarantee it with my head on my neck. If I say anything false, I will definitely be dead!"
These powerful words made the buzzing in Emperor Yongning's mind become even stronger.
He panted heavily and stared at Zhao Li, unable to speak for a long time.
If Emperor Yongning was shocked when he heard the report that the imperial concubine was pregnant before, then now he heard that the imperial concubine was not pregnant...it can no longer be described as shocked.
Since Concubine Jiang became pregnant, he asked Zhu Yi to closely monitor the movements of Zheng Ji and the Jiang family. Of course he knew that Zheng Ji sent Chang Dingsu to bring Zhao Li back.
He also knew that Zhao Li had been treating Concubine Jiang and was her most trusted physician.
Therefore, when he heard that Zhao Li was asking for an urgent meeting, he agreed without hesitation.
When Zhao Lifu returned to Jingzhao, he went into the palace to diagnose Concubine Jiang's pulse. After a while, he came to Zichen Palace to ask for an audience. He thought the other party was here to report Concubine Jiang's pregnancy.
I didn't expect to hear such remarks.
He indeed does not want Concubine Jiang to be pregnant because it is beyond his control, but what he hopes for Concubine Jiang to be infertile is not the current situation!
Especially, after Imperial Physician An and Imperial Physician Fan Zhishoudu diagnosed Jiang Guifei as pregnant, Zhao Li, the imperial physician next to Jiang Guifei, said that Jiang Guifei was infertile?
What was contained in this made Emperor Yongning shudder.
It had been a long time since he had been so confused, ever since he ascended the throne as the emperor... No, the last time he felt confused was when he learned about his mother-in-law and Concubine Yonggui.
That time he quickly knew what to do, but now, he doesn't know what to do.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a kind of 'Zixi Pill' among the wealthy people. After taking it, a woman will show signs of pregnancy. However, this pregnancy sign will only last for a month at most, and then the news will slowly come out, and the woman will also be pregnant.
I won’t show my feelings. More importantly..."
Zhao Li paused in his words. Although his beard covered most of his face, it was obvious that he was hesitating.
"What is it?"
"Yes... yes, this pill also has an extremely vicious effect, that is, it will greatly damage a woman's body and cause her to be infertile for life!" Zhao Li finished speaking in one breath and then lowered his head.
Dare to look at Emperor Yongning's expression.
Emperor Yongning was breathing harder, clenching his hands so tightly that veins appeared, and his face was gloomy and terrifying: "Lifelong infertility?"
Zhao Li nodded bravely and added without fear of death: "Yes, and there is no cure. This is also the reason why this Zixi Pill was abandoned, even covered up, and gradually became unknown."
Of course Zhao Li had heard of the so-called "Zixi Pill", but no one knew the prescription, and no one had seen the actual product, so he always thought it was a fiction.
But I didn’t expect that Hu Meiren’s notes would actually contain records!
On the way back to Beijing, although he was ambushed along the way, Zhao Li held his breath and not only completed the recipe for Zixi Wan, but also improved it to give it a different effect.
That's right, with his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that Hu Meiren's recipe was incomplete.
Fortunately, the prescription for this Zixi Pill was incomplete, so the damage to the imperial concubine’s body was not particularly serious.
No imperial doctor knew the imperial concubine's physical condition better than he did. As soon as he felt the imperial concubine's pulse, he knew that the imperial concubine was taking the incomplete prescription in Hu Meiren's notes.
It's strange, how could the Zixi Pill copied from Hu Meiren's notes be used on the imperial concubine?
Zhao Li couldn't figure this out, so he didn't think about it.
Because this does not affect his reporting to the emperor at all.
After he proposed to report to the emperor urgently, the imperial concubine only said: "In front of the emperor, just tell me the recipe you complete."
When Zhao Li heard it, he understood what it meant.
He was selected by the Jiang family to take care of Concubine Jiang in the Imperial Medical Office. The secret medicine that the concubine took was developed through the combined efforts of him and many doctors of the Jiang family.
How to say?
The medicine for annihilating children and grandchildren cannot be harmless. He has been recuperating the body of the imperial concubine over the years in order to reduce the damage caused by the past and try to strengthen the body of the imperial concubine.
However, he did not expect that not long after he left Beijing, the imperial concubine would be tricked.
Now that you know the root cause of the pregnancy letter, the problem will be solved easily.
However, the empress's advice is not only to be solved, but also to be solved once and for all.
Therefore, what he said in front of Emperor Yongning was exaggerated.
Zixi Pill will indeed damage a person's body, but it will not cause lifelong infertility.
However, this is the situation of the imperial concubine, who can deny it?
Emperor Yongning's fists unclenched and closed, and the violent fluctuations in his chest could not be calmed down.
After a long time, he finally found his voice: "I don't believe it! Someone, call Fan Zhishou!"
Fan Zhishou was the imperial physician and the most skilled person in the palace. Even he diagnosed that Concubine Jiang was pregnant. How could he be wrong?!
And Dr. An who is beside the queen!
Are their medical skills worse than Zhao Li's? Why didn't they tell him that Concubine Jiang was not really pregnant?
Zhao Li raised his head and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I firmly believe that I don't have a disease of judgment, and I just want to ask the two adults for advice."
Because he was serving the most favored Concubine Jiang, he usually did not obey the orders of the two superior officials.
The current situation of the imperial concubine made him even more confident.
Fan Zhishou arrived soon. After hearing the cause and effect, his beard trembled, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or angry.
Immediately, he replied: "Your Majesty, your concubine is indeed pregnant! As for the Zixi Pill, I have never heard of it!"
"Sir, please calm down. What you said is not wrong. It is precisely because you don't know about Zixi Wan that you don't know the inside story."
Hearing what Zhao Li said, Fan Zhishou's face looked better.
However, Emperor Yongning's expression was still extremely terrifying: "So, what is going on?"
How can Fan Zhishou know? You can't just wait a month and see?
Zhao Li instead said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to wait a month for this matter. I have not only diagnosed the Zixi Pill, but also prepared the decoction to break the pregnancy signal. It will be effective in two days. It's just... what the Imperial Concubine said
The damage suffered is irreparable."
The implication is that Concubine Jiang is definitely infertile for life!
