Mrs. Xu nodded helplessly and turned her attention to Dr. Wu again, praying that he would not detect that it was a miscarriage drug.
Dr. Wu was over sixty years old. He had prescribed many medicines to treat wind and cold in his life, but none of them tasted like this when boiled into a decoction. Then, he took a sip and felt that something was wrong. How could he taste the medicine?
The smell of safflower. Safflower is used to stimulate menstruation and activate blood circulation. It is not listed in the medicine for treating wind and cold. It is really strange.
Seeing that Dr. Wu frowned and remained silent, Ling Ruo said, "How about it? Has Dr. Wu found out what kind of medicine this is?"
"I'm going back to you, I haven't found out yet, but according to Weichen's many years of experience, this bowl should not be a medicine for treating wind and cold." After that, he added: "I dare to ask you, where is the dregs of this medicine, and what can I do?
Can I allow you to take a look?"
"Of course you can." With that said, she ordered someone to call Shuixiu in. When Shuixiu came in, she was holding a medicine jar in her hand. Doctor Wu grabbed a handful from it and examined it carefully, and the more he recognized it, the more he recognized it.
His expression became more and more wrong, and in the end, his eyes were filled with unbelievable surprise.
Mrs. Xu was so nervous that she bit her lower lip and drew blood without realizing it. She just stared at Dr. Wu nervously, waiting for his answer.
"Did you see it this time?" After hearing Ling Ruo's question again, Doctor Wu recovered from the shock, glanced at Mrs. Xu quickly, and then whispered a few words in Ling Ruo's ear, and then
The doctor was so shocked that he stood up from his chair, stared at Dr. Wu and said, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in the test?"
Doctor Wu smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is of great importance. If I am not 100% sure, how can I dare to tell my empress?"
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, but her eyes moved from Dr. Wu to behind Mrs. Xu. The latter endured the feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest and said: "Mother, has Dr. Wu found out? What exactly is this?
Isn’t it a medicine for treating wind and cold?”
Ling Ruo didn't say anything, but just stared at her. That look frightened Xu like never before, as if she had seen through her whole being, and there was no secret at all.
After a long while, Ling Ruo said slowly: "Mr. Xu, Doctor Wu would like to diagnose your pulse to see what kind of disease you have?"
Mrs. Xu subconsciously retracted her hands behind her back and said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it just the cold that my concubine got? Why did the empress say such strange words?"
Ling Ruo said slowly: "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter to Xu Guiren if you check your pulse again, and it won't cause any harm."
Mrs. Xu shook her head repeatedly and said: "But I am fine, I don't need to check my pulse."
"Is it a good thing, or is there something that Guiren Xu doesn't want me to know about?" Ling Ruo's words made Xu's face pale, and she shrank there speechless.
Ling Ruo didn't say much to her and said directly: "Mr. Wu, please diagnose Xu Guiren's pulse."
"I don't want it! I don't want it!" Faced with the approach of Dr. Wu, Mrs. Xu kept shrinking back as if she had seen a ghost. She didn't stop until she reached the corner of the bed, but she refused to hand over her hand to Dr. Wu.
The person was very embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
Zi Rong was so worried that she was sweating. Looking at it like this, Dr. Wu must have figured out that it was an abortion pill, so Concubine Xi insisted on Dr. Wu checking her master's pulse to determine whether he had a positive pulse.
This...what can we do? Once it is confirmed that it is Ximai, the master will definitely die.
At this time, she suddenly remembered that when she returned to the palace just now, the second elder brother said that if the master had anything to do, he would go to Kunning Palace to find him. Maybe... maybe the second elder brother would have a way to save the master. Although Zi Rong knew this hope in her heart
It's extremely slim, but at this moment, I can only treat a dead horse as a live doctor. It's better than sitting here and waiting for death.
Thinking of this, Zi Rong took advantage of the opportunity that Ling Ruo and others were paying attention to Xu, and quietly moved out. After moving to the door, she quickly stepped out, and then hurried to Kunning Palace.
In fact, Shui Xiu noticed her before she even moved to the door. She wanted to stop her, but Ling Ruo stopped her with her eyes and could only watch her leave.
As for Mrs. Xu, she never noticed Zi Rong leaving. She just tightened her hands and refused to let Dr. Wu get close, as if as long as Dr. Wu didn't check her pulse, no one would know that she was pregnant. Unfortunately, everything was what she thought...
…
After signaling Dr. Wu to step back, Ling Ruo stared at her and said, "Guiren Xu, do you think that because Dr. Wu doesn't diagnose your pulse, I won't know about your scandal?"
"I... my concubine..." Mrs. Xu was already in a panic at this time and could not utter a complete sentence at all.
"If you want others to not know, you have to do nothing yourself. Since you have done it, you should know about it. Sooner or later, others will know about it." After that, she pointed to the bowl of medicine on the table and said: "Mr. Wu has already seen the dregs of the medicine.
It was found that there are ingredients such as safflower and Chuanqiong. These medicines have the effect of promoting blood circulation and qi, and have nothing to do with wind-cold. However, you just categorically said that this is a medicine for treating wind-cold. Mr. Xu, please explain to me.
explain."
"Concubine...Concubine..." Mrs. Xu thought for a long time and finally asked her to come up with an explanation, "Concubine, my menstruation has not come since I returned to the palace. It must be caused by blood stasis, so I
So I asked Zi Rong to find a medicine to stimulate menstruation and activate blood circulation. This matter should not be hidden from the empress, but I am too shy to say anything, so the empress misunderstood me."
"Really?" How could Ling Ruo be deceived by her clumsy lie, not to mention that everything was arranged by her personally? She immediately said: "In this case, Xu Guiren should let Dr. Wu diagnose his pulse."
"Thank you for your kindness, I really don't..." Before Xu could finish her words, Ling Ruo slapped her palm on the table and said sternly: "Mr. Xu, how long are you going to keep telling lies?"
Xu's whole body was shaking violently, and her mind almost collapsed, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "Everything I said is true, and there is no lie."
Ling Ruo sneered, turned around and said, "Mr. Wu, tell Mr. Xu what kind of medicine this bowl is."
"Yes." Doctor Wu nodded and said: "This medicine contains not only safflower, Chuanqiong, but also several other herbs. If it is just to stimulate menstruation and activate blood circulation, it is not needed at all. It is only needed for abortion, so
According to Weichen's opinion, this medicine should be an abortion pill."
Doctor Wu's words made Xu almost faint. Although she was still conscious, her head was buzzing and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Ling Ruo stared at the frightened Mrs. Xu and said slowly: "Mr. Xu has heard clearly that this is a bowl of abortion pills. According to the records of the Jingsi Room, Mr. Xu has never been to the bed. In other words, Mr. Xu has never been to the bed."
The noble person should still be in perfect condition. If this is the case, why do you need to use abortion pills?"
Xu didn't speak because she had nothing to say. While she was dazed, Doctor Wu quickly grabbed her hand hanging by her side and put his fingers on her wrist. This time, Xu didn't struggle and was stunned.
