In the flower hall, everyone was having tea when the servant came to report: "Madam, the master has returned home."
"Oh, father is back. Please sit down for a moment while I greet you." Master Rao stood up and said.
"Thank you." Ling Shiqi smiled.
Outside the gate of Rao Mansion, as soon as Imperial Physician Rao got off the carriage, Master Rao greeted him and said, "Father, you are back."
"Oh, Jingdong." Doctor Rao straightened his clothes and said.
The driver drove the carriage away, and Imperial Physician Rao entered the mansion. Rao Jingdong told the story of what happened today. When Imperial Physician Rao heard this, he was surprised and said, "Quick, take him to the patient."
"Yes, father, come with me." Rao Jingdong led the way and soon arrived at the wing where Qi Zi was. Doctor Rao looked at it and said to Rao Jingdong in surprise: "Go and call Madam quickly."
Rao Jingdong was a little confused, but he did not dare to disobey his father's orders and said, "Yes." Rao Jingdong walked out of the wing door and ordered the maid to call his wife, and then returned to the room.
Imperial Physician Rao was feeling her pulse, and Rao Jingdong said: "Father, this girl is pregnant, but she looks like a girl, and it is a matter of honor, so the child didn't tell her about it just now."
"Has the medicine been prescribed?"
"It's open. The child just prescribed some Thirteen Taibao and asked her to take it."
"That's good." As soon as Dr. Rao finished speaking, Mrs. Rao came in and said, "Master, you are back."
"Well, you go and get my precious little box." Dr. Rao ordered.
"Ah." Mrs. Rao said with a pale face: "Master, that is the precious medicine you have treasured all your life. Why did you...?"
"My lady, why do you care so much? Just go and get it." Dr. Rao said.
Mrs. Rao had to go out of the wing to get medicine.
It was raining, so heavy, accompanied by the roar of thunder. Qi Zi moved the Phalaenopsis in the yard and got wet. Xuan Yi helped her change her clothes, hugged her tightly and said
Saying: "You won't leave me, right?"
Qi Zi smiled and said, "Why would I leave you?"
Xuan Yi was silent and didn't speak. Qi Zi pushed him away gently, and found that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther. Qi Zi reached out to grab him, but as soon as he picked up his steps, he suddenly missed the step and his body seemed to fall.
"Xuan Yi——." With a long shout, she opened her eyes suddenly. These were the three months she had lost, and now they reappeared in her memory, filling up the blank space.
She straightened up and saw Dr. Rao looking at her with a smile and saying, "Empress, what do you think?"
"Empress?" The wife and son behind him exclaimed in surprise at the same time. Knowing that Imperial Physician Rao would not joke and that he had been in the palace for many years, he would definitely not admit the wrong person, so they all knelt down nervously and said: "My wife/Rao Jingdong, please see me.
The Queen."
"Queen, what a sarcastic title." Qi Zi thought to herself, and she said, "Get up quickly, don't be like this."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two stood up, and Doctor Rao said, "People outside don't know your identity, so you should be careful what you say."
"I understand, sir."
"I know, Dad."
Qi Zi said: "Physician, where is this place?"
"To tell you the truth, this is the old minister's home." Dr. Rao replied.
"Your home, why am I here?" She thought carefully, but her headache stopped her thoughts.
"Don't worry, Madam, you just fell into the river. It was Mr. Ling and others who sent you to the old minister's house. Mr. Ling and others are all in the flower hall."
Qi Zi remembered it and was looking for something everywhere. Fortunately, he found it beside his pillow. The brocade silk was still there.
Imperial Physician Rao said: "Mother, please introduce me to Rong Chen. This is my wife and this is the dog."
Qi Zi smiled and said, "Thank you for saving me."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This is what a minister should do." Mrs. Rao took a step forward and said cautiously.
"Oh, I forgot." Dr. Rao bowed to Qi Zi and said, "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."
Qi Zi was a little confused and said: "The doctor is joking, what happy events will happen to me now?"
"Hahaha, empress, you are happy." Imperial Physician Rao said with a smile, "You are happy. If the emperor knew, he would be so happy."
Qi Zi was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses. She was pregnant and said, "Physician, are you sure?"
"Of course, I have been a doctor for so many years, how could I make a mistake? That's great, congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress."
Qi Zi didn't hear what Imperial Physician Rao said next. She was shocked by the news. She didn't know whether she should be happy or worried. She finally remembered and asked softly: "Physician Rao"
,The emperor has left, right?"
Imperial Physician Rao was stunned for a moment, and said with some regret: "To tell you what my Majesty, the Emperor is already on his way back to the capital."
Big tears fell on the quilt, and Imperial Physician Rao continued: "Do you want me to send someone to chase you?"
Qi Zi shook his head and said, "No, thank you, doctor. I want to stay alone for a while."
"Yes, I will leave."
After the three of them went out, Qi Zi gently held her stomach, raised her head and closed her eyes, letting tears slide down her cheeks and said: "Mom, why is this happening? Why? What should I do? What should I do? Please teach me.
Me, teach me, okay?"
In the afternoon, outside Raojiazhuang, Imperial Physician Rao repeatedly told Qi Zi: "You must take care of your health."
Qi Zi forced a smile and said, "Thank you, doctor, I will do it."
Everyone said goodbye and got into the carriage. Ling Nian got into the driving seat and left Raojiazhuang.
Imperial Physician Rao watched as he was being escorted into the carriage. Madam Rao on the side asked: "Sir, why is the empress not with the emperor? How can the master of the harem stay privately among the people?"
Dr. Rao said angrily: "What do you know? Be careful of getting into trouble."
Mrs. Rao knew that she would get nothing out of the question, so she stopped talking.
Along the way, Liu Zhongwen carefully cared for Qi Zi. Qi Zi suddenly felt guilty, but could not find a reason to refuse.
Finally entering the city, the noisy noise broke the silence in the carriage. Ling Shiqi said: "I want to go to Buzhuang to have a look. Zhongwen, you come with me. I have something to give you."
Liu Zhongwen looked at Qi Zi worriedly, and Su Yueling said: "Go, I will take good care of Qi Zi."
Liu Zhongwen then agreed and said, "Okay, I'll go get it with you."
When they arrived at the gate of Buzhuang, Ling Shiqi and Liu Zhongwen got out of the car and ordered Ling Nian to drive the carriage back to the house.
As the carriage was walking, Qi Zi suddenly said, "I want to go see Youyuan."
"What did you say?" Su Yueling asked in shock. The other two looked at each other, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
"I said I wanted to visit Youyuan." Qi Zi said again.
"This..." Zhao Yunniang hesitated, and Su Yueling said: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Zhao Yunniang said: "I'll go too, Lizhen. You and Ling Nian should drive the car back first. If anyone asks about it later, just say that the three of us went shopping."
Ling Lizhen nodded doubtfully.
Zhao Yunniang opened the car curtain and said to Ling Nian: "Let's go to Youyuan first."
