Chapter 362 Hands that have never been stained with blood
There was no warmth in the spring day in Chunxi Hall, but instead it was a bit chilly - not psychologically, but actually it was chilly behind him. Shu Jin looked back and saw that the window paper had been torn in several places...
Alas, once a woman in the palace falls out of favor, her life may be worse than that of a respectable palace maid.
"It's not that I don't want to take care of you, but the Chunxi Hall is now under the care of the imperial eunuch..." It's the emperor who doesn't allow Liu Guiren to live comfortably.
Although the emperor did not directly grant death to Mrs. Liu, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Mrs. Liu would die quickly.
It's just that Mr. Liu wants to live, even if it's just barely.
Liu Guiren wiped his tears and said, "I understand. If I do something wrong, under the rule of the imperial concubine, at least I won't go hungry or cold, and I will get medicine if I get sick..."
The imperial concubine is kind, but the emperor is mean.
Although Liu Guiren has known this for a long time, he really realized it today!
At this time, Lan Ruo came in with hot medicine and said, "Mother, the medicine is ready."
Shu Jin said quietly: "Drink it while it's hot."
Without hesitation, Liu Guiren stepped forward and picked up the medicine bowl and brought it to her mouth. But the next moment, she stopped, lowered her head and looked at the bowl of medicine carefully, and looked at Shu Jin: "This medicine is yours."
Prepared?"
Shu Jin was stunned, but he didn't hide it: "The emperor sent it to me."
Liu Guiren's face turned pale, and her hands holding the medicine bowl could not help but tremble slightly, "Is this... really just an abortion pill?"
Shu Jin's heart skipped a beat, yes, with Yongzheng's cruelty, how could he allow Liu Guiren to live with this stain?! Even if Liu Guiren really couldn't find anything wrong with him, in Yongzheng's eyes, refusing to die was already a shame.
What a huge sin.
Shu Jin then took the bowl of medicine from Mrs. Liu's hand, put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully, "Achyranthes, saffron... and peach kernels, the rest... can't be smelled."
It is very similar to the bowl of medicine that Xiao Nian Gao drank back then, "without donkey-hide gelatin."
She remembered that there was a lot of donkey-hide gelatin in the bowl of rice cake medicine.
Donkey-hide gelatin is a good medicine for replenishing blood and stopping bleeding. If it hadn't been for this medicine, little Nian Gao might not have been sterilized, and he might have died of hemorrhage.
Mrs. Liu didn't understand this. She only knew that saffron was indeed a cruel medicine for abortion, but that didn't mean that this bowl of medicine was just a medicine for abortion.
Shu Jin stroked the warm wall of the bowl and said, "It's an abortion pill, but...I'm afraid it's a bit strong."
Ms. Liu's face turned even paler: "What do you mean by your words?"
Shu Jin sighed: "I don't know much about medicine, but this bowl of medicine, besides being able to induce abortion, may... cause you to bleed heavily."
There was no need for her to elaborate on the consequences of heavy bleeding.
Mrs. Liu's body was swaying and she could hardly stand still. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty - you want me to die!"
Shu Jin whispered: "It's not necessarily that he will die. Everything is just my speculation."
Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, "I've reached this point, and I'm willing to take abortion pills. Your Majesty... why can't you give me a way to survive?!"
Shu Jin sighed and was speechless for a moment.
Liu Guiren looked at the bowl of medicine, her hands trembling slightly. She hesitated again and again, with a look of pleading on her face: "Your Majesty, I dare not not drink this bowl of medicine, but...can I drink only half of it?"
It's just that the weight is a bit heavy, so if she drinks less, she can avoid massive bleeding, right?
Shu Jin sighed: "Of course I will not force you, but...the emperor said that if you are willing to take the medicine obediently, you will be spared your life. If not -"
Liu Guiren's eyes widened, and after a long time, she burst into laughter, which was extremely sad.
In the face of absolute rights, the weak obviously have no right to bargain.
Outside the Chunxi Hall, there were all the emperor's people.
Drink half a bowl, pour half a bowl??
Those people are not blind!!
Liu Guiren gritted his teeth and took the bowl of medicine from Shu Jin's hand again, "I will not make things difficult for you! However, if I am lucky enough to survive, one day... I still hope that your mother will give me some medicine."
A way to survive.”
Shu Jin understood what Liu Guiren meant by "one day", so he remained silent and Quan acquiesced.
Liu Guiren gritted his teeth again, raised his head and drank the medicine in one gulp.
Shu Jin sympathized with Liu and felt relieved for himself.
After all, the emperor sent her to deliver medicine. If Mrs. Liu refused to drink or only drank half the bowl, Shu Jin would not be able to force the victim to suffer further.
At that time, the emperor might not be angry with her.
Liu Guiren's move solved her problem.
So Shu Jin accepted Liu's love.
If Mrs. Liu died of a hemorrhagic collapse, one day she would not be able to take care of Mr. Liu's family.
If Liu survives, then Shu Jin will naturally not mind giving her a stable retirement life.
Shu Jin did not leave in a hurry, but waited until the medicine took effect, and when Mrs. Liu fell to the ground clutching her stomach in pain——
After all, Shu Jin still couldn't bear it, so he pointed out a few acupuncture points on her body and attached the ear canal: "These are all acupoints that can stop metrorrhagia after childbirth."
Shu Jin is also an expert at taking care of pregnant women.
After Su Chang gave birth to a daughter, she suffered from lochia and metrorrhagia, so the imperial doctor pricked her at these points. Although Su's life could not be saved in the end, Shu Jin made note of these acupuncture points.
Unexpectedly, there will be times when it comes in handy.
Liu Guiren gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, then took out the needle and thread from the drawer and pricked those places with an embroidery needle.
Shu Jin felt pain just looking at it.
But other than that, there is no other way to save yourself.
Seeing that Liu Guiren's clothes were bleeding, Shu Jin did not stay any longer. She turned and hurriedly left the Chunxi Hall and went to Qingyan in Kyushu to return to the emperor.
"...I saw with my own eyes that Mrs. Liu has started to become popular." Shu Jin reported with a lowered eyebrow.
Yongzheng's eyebrows relaxed slightly and he said, "Your concubine has done a great job."
When Yongzheng saw that Mr. Geng was still frowning, he knew that this was another act of kindness, "That's it, I won't ask you to do such a thing in the future."
Shu Jin scolded his mother in his heart. What a stupid emperor! You’ve already done everything, and you’re just saying something like this. What’s the point?!
Rubbish!
Hurry up and die for me!
Shu Jin's face was extremely gentle, "Everything in the harem is my responsibility. And as long as it is the emperor's order, I will do my best to do it."
The look of satisfaction in Yong Zheng's eyes became a little thicker, "Okay, you are tired today, go back and rest."
When we returned to Danning Hall, it was already dark.
After a hasty dinner, Shu Jin, who usually slept well, fell into insomnia and tossed and turned until late in the night before falling into a deep sleep.
The next day it was slightly bright and I woke up suddenly.
She didn't have any nightmares, but she seemed to be awakened by something.
"Is there any funeral news in Chunxi Hall?" Shu Jin asked hurriedly.
Aunt Lan Ruo shook her head: "Not really."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a night. If he suffered a hemorrhagic collapse, Mrs. Liu might not be able to survive until dawn. There was no news of death yet, so Mrs. Liu... probably survived.
She is quite lucky.
Shu Jin lowered his head and looked at his hands. Although they were old, they were not stained with blood.
