Yuan Qingling's guess was correct. The Zhu family did not take it from Mrs. Duke Guo. However, she was not entirely right. The medicine did not even reach Duke Zhu's hands. After Yuan Qingling left, Di Weiming and his wife said
The Crown Princess has ulterior motives and cannot be believed.
Although the Zhu family says they have no position now, King An is one of their own, and everyone knows a little about the overt and covert fights between King An and the Crown Prince. Therefore, whether the Crown Princess came here to deliver medicine out of kindness or for other reasons, who can tell?
They don’t know, so naturally they don’t dare to give medicine hastily.
Di Weiming asked Zhu to throw away the medicine. Zhu agreed and said that she was about to go to the latrine and throw the medicine into the latrine. However, after she entered, she thought for a long time and hid the medicine instead of following Di Weiming's instructions.
Do it.
At night, the Duke's wife was in severe pain, which had reached an unbearable level. She said to the Duke who was guarding her: "I have run out of gas and the lamp is dry. I am really suffering unbearably. Just give me a break and tell me to leave."
You have to be more comfortable."
Duke Zhu Guogong pursed his lips, and his whole body fell into an extremely suppressed pain. He guarded his wife alone and did not allow anyone to come in, because he knew that anyone who saw her like this would be heartbroken.
He stretched out his hand to gently press the Duke's wife's shoulders, and comforted him softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Just bear with it and it will pass soon. Just let it pass like it did a few times before."
The Duke's wife held his hand hard, feeling that the pain was going to tear her whole body apart. She really couldn't bear it anymore. She had always been strong, but now she couldn't help but cry out in pain, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Wrinkle, "No... I'm really scared if I survive this time or the next time, my life will be over."
Zhu Guogong couldn't see her crying. When she cried, he became confused and murmured: "How could it be? You have done so many good things in your life and saved so many homeless orphans and refugees. If God has eyes, he cannot do this.
If I treat you well, you will definitely get better."
The Duke's wife closed her eyes and let out a long sigh. Her swollen face was so pale that it was almost blue. She lamented: "I can't stand the pain anymore. I can't stand it anymore. Ask the children to come in and see me."
, please let me go. If you don't take this breath, I will suffer less torture. We will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives, I beg you."
Hearing this, Duke Zhu Guo also burst into tears. He sighed and said in a desperate voice: "How can you abandon me? How can I live if you leave?"
A burst of pain hit her, and the Duke's wife could no longer promise the next life. The pain was so painful that she tossed and turned, wishing she could slam her head against the wall to end it all.
When Zhu Guogong saw this, he was completely distracted. He staggered up, opened the door and went out, announcing to the public that everyone in the Zhu family should come in.
When the order was delivered to the hall, all the descendants and daughters-in-law of the Zhu family burst into tears. If the old man gave this order, the old lady would probably die.
Everyone wiped away their tears, forced a smile, filed in, and stood in front of the bed of the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife was in severe pain, and her whole body was curled up and bent, like a beaten worm. Everyone in the Zhu family couldn't help crying when they saw it.
Mrs. Zhu and General Di came forward and hugged her. They cried while hugging her. The duke and his wife couldn't pay attention to her. They just endured the pain and shouted in a broken voice: "Just let me go, let me go."
Bar!"
These shouts were like sharp knives, cutting into the hearts of the Zhu family, especially Duke Zhu, who stood like a wooden man, with his eyes broken.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhu couldn't help it anymore. She took out the medicine given by Yuan Qingling from her sleeve pocket and knelt on the ground. She said to Zhu Guogong: "Father, the Crown Princess came here today and said she wanted to see a doctor for her mother.
Here comes a painkiller pill, why don't you give it to your mother and give it a try?"
"Crown Princess?" Zhu Guogong was startled for a moment, remembering that when the Emperor fell ill, she said she was the one who treated him. "What kind of medicine? Take it out and let me take a look."
Di Weiming didn't expect that Zhu didn't throw away the pills, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to stop him, saying: "Taishan, you can't take this medicine. The princess came here specially to deliver the medicine. Who knows what evil intentions are hidden?"
Zhu Guogong asked: "Your mother-in-law has never offended her, why do you want to harm others?"
Di Weiming took a step forward and lowered his voice: "Taishan, don't forget that the Crown Prince and Duke Xiaoyao have a very close relationship. There is no guarantee that Duke Xiaoyao asked her to deliver the medicine. I'm afraid the medicine is poisonous."
Zhu Guogong was even more relieved and hummed: "That old man Xiaoyao Gong is just targeting me. He respects your mother-in-law very much. If he calls me, I will take this medicine boldly without fear."
Di Weiming was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't express it in front of Lao Taishan.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhu quickly stood up, took out the medicine, put it on Zhu Guogong's palm, and said: "The princess said that there are two types of medicine. One is stomach medicine. After taking the stomach medicine first, drink some rice soup."
Then take painkillers or something like that.”
Zhu Guogong first ordered people to get rice soup, then turned around and sat down, supported the Duke's wife and asked her to take the stomach medicine.
The Duke's wife felt relieved when she heard that the medicine was sent by the Crown Princess. She took hold of Duke Zhu's sleeve and said weakly: "The Crown Princess... is a good person and has saved people. She can be trusted."
After taking stomach medicine for a while, the Duke's wife reluctantly drank the rice soup, and then took the painkillers.
After taking the medicine, everyone watched her and asked over and over again, "Are you feeling better?"
The Duke's wife didn't say anything, just closed her eyes, but she didn't curl up like before.
After about a cup of tea, the Duke's wife breathed slowly and steadily and fell asleep.
Duke Zhu Guo sat beside the bed and fixed the gray hair on her forehead. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, Zhu Houde, "Boss, go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion in person and invite the Crown Princess to come over. Be nice. If you don't want to come, you don't have to."
came back."
Di Weiming sighed, "Taishan, you have been fooled by Xiaoyao Gong."
Zhu Guogong's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he said coldly: "No big deal is as important as your mother-in-law."
What Di Weiming has always regretted is that Lao Taishan, who is as powerful as Xiaoyao Gong, is not on the same front as him. Now after hearing this, he endured his dissatisfaction and asked: "What about Prince An?"
, doesn’t it matter?”
Duke Zhu Guogong's face darkened, "You and your wife, please go back. This won't have anything to do with you."
Mrs. Di Weiming, the great Zhu family, stepped forward and said: "Father, what the general said makes sense. Prince An's affairs are more important than anything else. This is related to the foundation of our Zhu family and Di family..."
Zhu Guogong interrupted her rudely, "What are you from the Zhu family and the Di family? This world belongs to the Yuwen family. Come on, don't cause trouble if you don't wait at the hospital bed."
Zhu Guogong's authoritative position in the palace cannot be challenged. Not to mention that Di Weiming is just his son-in-law, and the eldest Zhu family is just the married daughter. Even Zhu Houde, the eldest son, has no say in front of him.
No one can change the decision he made. It was because of his disobedient character that he and Xiaoyao Gong could not reconcile for decades.
