Xu Zhaolin was lying on the bed, his face pale and his expression dull.
Luo Mingxiang walked into the room, walked to the bed and looked at the man on the bed calmly.
Xu Zhaolin didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't notice Luo Mingxiang's arrival until the girl beside him reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, the young lady is back." Xu Zhaolin came back to his senses and saw Luo Mingxiang standing beside the bed.
"Mingxiang!" Xu Zhaolin's originally dull expression suddenly became excited, and he stretched out his good hand to grab Luo Mingxiang's hand.
Luo Mingxiang reached out and held his arm, and said softly: "Don't get excited, let the doctor treat your injury first."
Xu Zhaolin looked at Luo Mingxiang with some despair, "Mingxiang, my hand..."
Luo Mingxiang said softly: "It doesn't matter, it's just an injury. Dr. Luo said that it will be fine to take out the broken bones and recuperate them for a while. Although I won't be able to pick up a pen in the future, it's better than..."
The expression on Xu Zhaolin's face became more and more desperate, "Mingxiang, I don't want this. I still want to take the imperial examination, and I also want to earn a title and identity for you and our children in an upright manner. Please help me beg my father-in-law and the regent, they
I will definitely find a miracle doctor who can help me."
Luo Mingxiang sighed softly and said helplessly: "Calm down, Dr. Luo is already the best doctor in treating trauma in the Taiyuan Hospital. Even Divine Doctor Xue may not be much better than him. Now Divine Doctor Xue is no longer in Shangyong, he is already old.
Even if Gao goes to pick him up now, it will probably take a long time for him to return to Shangyong. By then... I'm afraid you really can't save your hand."
"No...Mingxiang..."
Luo Mingxiang shook his head, "If I had known that something like this would happen to me, I shouldn't have asked you to move to the outer courtyard. Didn't I say that I wanted to study behind closed doors? What are you doing out there at this time? I don't know if someone is afraid of you blocking it.
What are the people around you doing at the hands of someone who has strayed into someone else's house? I will definitely take care of them later! Now you should be calmer and let the doctor take care of your injuries first."
After saying that, Luo Mingxiang stood up, walked to the side and said to Dr. Luo, who was making preparations: "Doctor Luo, I'm sorry to trouble you, but is there anything else we need to do?"
Dr. Luo was checking his knife. He placed the knife on the table covered with white cotton cloth with satisfaction and said: "Young lady, don't worry, it's just a small matter. Luo has also been on the battlefield before. This minor injury is nothing to worry about."
How much work."
Luo Mingxiang nodded and said, "Then I'll go out and tell my parents and let's get started."
"good."
Luo Mingxiang went out and spoke to Chun Anbo and his wife who were waiting outside, then turned around and came in again.
Mrs. Chun Anbo knew that the injury would inevitably cause blood, and she was worried that Luo Mingxiang would be frightened. She originally advised her to wait outside, but Luo Mingxiang refused on the grounds that she wanted to accompany Xu Zhaolin. However, Mrs. Chun Anbo was very moved and instantly forgot about the previous incident.
A trace of unhappiness, secretly hating Deng Yuniang for seducing her son, otherwise she wouldn't have caused such a thing.
Luo Mingxiang stood by the bed and watched calmly as Dr. Luo treated Xu Zhaolin's injuries.
After Dr. Luo used anesthesia on Xu Zhaolin, he carefully cleaned the wound before starting to treat it.
The thin and delicate tip of the knife quietly opened Xu Zhaolin's wrist, which had been congested and swollen. Suddenly he remembered that there was a pregnant woman standing next to him, so he hesitated and said, "Mrs., why don't you step aside first?"
Luo Mingxiang's face was a little pale, and he said softly: "No need, I will guard him here, the imperial doctor can take action."
Imperial Physician Luo nodded, sighing in his heart that this young lady is really a good wife, but it is a pity that the Prince Chun'an will have no future if he encounters such a thing.
The faint smell of blood and the bright red smell of blood made Luo Mingxiang frown slightly, and she faintly wanted to vomit. She calmed down and watched calmly as Doctor Luo cut open her wrist with a knife, and cut the small pieces into the flesh.
Use tweezers to pick out the fragments bit by bit and place them on the white porcelain plate next to you.
After careful treatment, the wound was bandaged again.
Dr. Luo is indeed an extremely powerful trauma doctor. After all this trouble, there was not much blood. When Dr. Luo said it was okay, a servant immediately brought water and a handkerchief.
Dr. Luo got up and washed his hands, while instructing his servants to clean up Xu Zhao's clinic.
"Mr. Luo?"
Doctor Luo looked sideways at Luo Mingxiang and said: "Young lady, don't worry, it has been taken care of. But we still need to take care of it carefully these two days. As long as the wound is not inflamed and the person does not have a fever, it will be nothing serious. As for the prince's injury... about
It will be completely healed in two months, and as for the rest, we can only leave it to fate."
Luo Mingxiang forced a smile, nodded and said, "Yes, I'm sorry to see you, Doctor. Let's talk outside."
The two of them walked out of the room, and the people of Uncle Chun'an's Mansion who had been waiting outside immediately gathered around. Doctor Luo repeated what he had just told Luo Mingxiang.
For a moment, Chun Anbo looked gloomy, Mrs. Chun Anbo burst into tears, and others did not dare to say anything. The atmosphere in the flower hall was very dull and depressing.
Luo Mingxiang, who was standing aside, swayed, and the girl next to her quickly helped her, "Miss! Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Luo Mingxiang shook his head weakly and said: "I feel a little dizzy and want to vomit..."
"The imperial doctor said that you should not be too tired. It is best to rest in bed. My servant will help you to rest."
Others also remembered that Luo Mingxiang was still pregnant, and hurriedly helped send Luo Mingxiang to rest. They also asked Dr. Luo to diagnose Luo Mingxiang's pulse. After the diagnosis, Dr. Luo also said that the young lady should not be nervous and should take good care of herself.
As a result, the Xu family no longer dared to work for Luo Mingxiang, so they only allowed her to have a good rest. Mrs. Chun Anbo also took over the care of Xu Zhaolin.
When Xu Zhaolin woke up the next morning and saw that his bandaged wrist collapsed, he immediately kicked out the girl who wanted to feed him medicine.
Mrs. Chun Anbo came in a hurry after hearing the news. When she saw the messy room and the trembling little girl kneeling at the door, she took a deep breath and said, "What are you doing?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Zhaolin looked at Mrs. Chun Anbo blankly, and after a long while he said hoarsely: "Mom, my hand is... useless?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chun Anbo felt sour and her eyes turned red.
Xu Zhaolin lowered his eyes and asked, "What did dad say?"
Mrs. Chun'an said: "Your father said... Anyway, we won't be able to catch up with the spring this year. After a while, I will go to the Luo family to ask for help in sending your second brother to the Imperial College, and send the fourth brother to Linfeng Academy. There is also the third brother and you.
The two brothers from my second uncle's family also need to find better colleges and teachers for them."
Xu Zhaolin is not the only one in the Xu family studying, but there is only one quota in the Imperial College, and the qualifications of other children are not good enough to be admitted to Linfeng Academy.
Originally, Chun Anbo didn't worry about this. He had high hopes for his eldest son and naturally poured all his attention and resources into him. But now he has to train all his children together, hoping that one of them will succeed.
Xu Zhaolin's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you plan to give the title of eldest son to your second brother as well?"
Mrs. Chun Anbo sighed softly and said softly: "Your father doesn't mean that. Ming Xiang is still pregnant. The child is the grandson of General Luo. He wants to call the Princess Regent his aunt. Don't worry too much."
.”
Xu Zhaolin is not stupid. How could he not know what his father really thinks.
He really has no intention of handing over the crown prince position to his second brother now, but he is just not sure which of his sons can be more promising.
Of course, he was also on guard against the possibility that if nothing happened, he would have a grandson named Luo Yun's grandfather and his aunt named the Princess Regent. In the future, the Luo family would never see their grandson turn into a commoner and be looked down upon.
At least in recent years, his father would not be tempted to change his identity as heir apparent.
Seeing her son in this state, Mrs. Chun Anbo was also very distressed. She sat down by the bed and whispered: "It's already like this, so don't think about it too much. You must treat Mingxiang well now and let her live in peace and stability."
Give birth to the child. And that woman, let’s deal with it quickly.”
Xu Zhaolin's expression changed, but he did not refute his mother as fiercely as usual.
He remembered that he had encountered such a thing just to see Deng Yuniang, and he couldn't help but feel a deep regret in his heart. The deep love and affection in the past seemed to have gradually faded away at this moment.
But after all, it was a friendship that lasted several years. Xu Zhaolin hesitated before whispering: "Mom... let someone give her some money and send her away."
Mrs. Chun'anbo glared at her son with hatred, and Xu Zhaolin begged: "Mom, there is blood in her belly... after all, there is blood from our Xu family."
Mrs. Chun'anbo raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sighed and said: "That's all, I'll let someone do it. You should take good care of your injuries and don't do this again. Ming Xiang must not know about this matter, do you understand?"
Xu Zhaolin immediately nodded and said, "I know, mother, don't worry."
Although his intention in marrying Luo Mingxiang was impure, Xu Zhaolin did not hate Luo Mingxiang's wife, and the deep love between the couple these days was not entirely false.
At first, it was true that his relationship with Deng Yuniang was discovered by his mother. He wanted to welcome Deng Yuniang in but was rejected by her mother. He was dissatisfied. He accidentally saw that Luo Mingxiang and Deng Yuniang were somewhat similar. But Luo Mingxiang and Deng Yuniang were different after all. Although Luo Mingxiang was just Luo Mingxiang.
The stepdaughter of the family, but her father was also a general with outstanding military exploits, and her mother was born in a noble family. She received the top education from the noble ladies of Shang Yong since she was a child, and her talents, temperament, and abilities are all top-notch.
During these days of marriage, it was inevitable that Xu Zhaolin would gradually become emotionally moved. She felt that it would be great for them to live like this forever, but in this way, Deng Yuniang became a secret that could not be told.
If she was just an ordinary woman, maybe he could talk to Luo Mingxiang properly, but as long as Deng Yuniang appeared in front of Luo Mingxiang, what else would he not understand?
Furthermore, even if he and Deng Yuniang had nothing, it would be impossible for him to accept a concubine who looked so similar to his legitimate wife. This in itself was an insult to his legitimate wife in the eyes of outsiders.
He was also very anxious these days, and he was even a little confused as to whether he liked Deng Yuniang or Luo Mingxiang more.
But now he knows that he must choose Luo Mingxiang.
As for Deng Yuniang and her child...he felt reluctance and regret in his heart, but he no longer felt as absolutely inseparable as before.
Just assume that he is sorry for them.
On the other side of Luo Mingxiang's room, Luo Mingxiang was lazily leaning on the bed and drinking the soup just brought by the maid.
A little girl with an average appearance came in from outside carrying snacks, gently placed the snacks on the small table in front of Luo Mingxiang, leaned over and whispered a few words in Luo Mingxiang's ear in a low voice.
Luo Mingxiang looked calm and raised his eyebrows slightly: "That's what they said?" The little girl nodded, Luo Mingxiang chuckled and said, "Send someone back to tell my mother."
"Yes." The little girl responded, turned around and exited the room.
Luo Mingxiang sat up straight and looked sideways at the trees gradually growing new leaves outside the window, with a cold smile on his lips.
In a small courtyard at the bottom of Liuye Lane, a woman who looked like Luo Mingxiang was sitting under the eaves, leaning on a pillar and looking up at the sky, with a hint of worry in her eyebrows.
Originally, Xu Lang had promised to come over to see her two days ago, but it has been two days and there has been no sign of anyone. He has not even sent someone to say anything. Could it be that he is too busy with the imperial examinations recently?
Deng Yuniang lowered her head and caressed her belly, which had some signs of signs, with love and joy in her eyes.
Her humble status means she will never be able to enter the Xu family in this life, but her children can.
Xu Lang promised her that after the child is born, he will take him back to the Xu family and raise him as a serious young master of the Xu family.
As for the eldest girl of the Luo family...she once secretly went to see her, and she did look somewhat similar to her.
Deng Yuniang was not jealous. Although they looked so similar, their fates were very different.
She couldn't even be a concubine, but she was able to marry into the Xu family with great honor. Even if she was kidnapped at the wedding, the Xu family didn't mind at all and was still willing to welcome her in glory.
Come in.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But as long as she thinks that no matter how noble her status is, in Xu Lang's eyes, she is just a substitute for him, Deng Yuniang feels very satisfied in her heart.
"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door from outside.
The little girl sitting embroidering under the eaves on the other side quickly stood up and went to open the door. Deng Yuniang also became energetic and quickly stood up and straightened her hair, "But Mr. Xu is here?"
The little girl came forward with a cheerful smile. After opening the door, she was stunned when she saw the two strangers standing at the door, "Who are you?"
Deng Yuniang walked over and took a look, and her original smiling expression changed slightly.
The leader was a woman in her early forties. She looked at Deng Yuniang with a somewhat critical and arrogant look, "Madam Yu, you should still remember us when we met, right?"
Deng Yuniang took a step back, held the handkerchief tightly, and said, "Yes, what are Mrs. Xu's orders?"
She had indeed met this woman. Two years ago, Mrs. Chun Anbo discovered her affair with Xu Lang, and it was this woman who accompanied Mrs. Chun Anbo.
Xu Lang said that she was Mrs. Chun Anbo's dowry girl and her confidant.
The woman led the people around her into the courtyard, and the people following her turned around and closed the courtyard door.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm telling you these things on the orders of my wife and the crown prince. You'd better be wise and listen carefully. My wife wants you to leave Shangyong immediately and you are not allowed to set foot in the capital again in your life.
As long as you are obedient, my wife will give you two thousand taels of silver to help you settle down and raise your children in the future."
"What?" Deng Yuniang was shocked, "I don't believe it, how could Xu Lang do this to me?"
The woman sneered and said: "If it weren't for the prince's consent, why would I have made this trip? Our young lady has been pregnant for several months. You know the young lady's background well. Do you think you are qualified to compete with her?
?You do have some beauty, but even in terms of appearance, I'm afraid you can't compare to the young lady, right?"
Deng Yuniang gritted her teeth and said nothing. The woman took out two banknotes and handed them to her contemptuously: "I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise... don't blame our Xu family for being rude."
