Chapter 460: Princess Shu discovers adultery
at this time.
The emperor was in the main hall, having a banquet with officials, dignitaries and concubines.
Sima Han, the miracle doctor, arrived belatedly with an old man with half-white hair.
As soon as the two men arrived, the emperor immediately ordered someone to seat them.
The courtiers looked at them one after another and whispered -
“Is this the younger brother of the miracle doctor?”
“That’s him, the old gentleman Xiangyou who is known as the ghost doctor in the world.”
"I heard that he comes and goes without a trace. He specializes in treating women's illnesses. He can't be paid for with much money. Today I am lucky enough to see him become the emperor's guest."
“You probably don’t know that thanks to Prime Minister Xie’s relationship, we were able to meet him.”
At this time, the emperor said: "I have invited two old gentlemen, Sima Han and Xiang You, to diagnose and treat the concubine and the female relatives of the queen's family. Anyone who has difficult and complicated diseases should not refrain from seeking medical advice. ."
After he finished speaking, the imperial guards came forward carrying screens one by one and divided them into several small rooms.
After a while, the miraculous doctor and the ghost doctor will diagnose the pulses and treat the diseases of the concubines and female relatives inside, which is considered a privilege from the emperor.
The ministers were deeply moved and shouted that the emperor's grace was so great.
Someone even stood up and asked anxiously: "Can I carry my eighty-year-old mother here? She has been suffering from pain in her legs and feet recently, but she has never been able to find the reason."
The emperor laughed loudly: "Of course you can, take advantage of today to bring people into the palace quickly."
Everyone stood up enthusiastically. Some ministers did not bring their families with them, so they ran outside the palace and asked their servants to pick up their wives and daughters.
Only Princess Shu sat in confusion and looked in the direction of the ghost doctor.
Mr. Xiangyou?
She remembered that before her husband went out today, he told her that Xiangyou was the one he wanted to see.
Now that Xiangyou has come to the palace for the banquet, where is her husband, the King of Shu?
Female relatives lined up in the cubicle for consultation.
Princess Shu thought for a while, then stood up and went over to ask Xiangyou whether she could still be pregnant with her pulse.
Finally she was waiting in line.
As soon as Princess Shu entered and sat down, she saw the ghost doctor Xiangyou with his mouth pursed and his gray beard slightly raised.
His eyes are sharp and his energy is strong. Compared with the miracle doctor Sima Han, he seems a bit unsmiling.
He asked: "What disease does Madam want to cure?"
Princess Shu smiled lightly and said: "My husband just met you today. I just want to ask, at my age, is it possible for me to...?"
She was a little embarrassed.
The ghost doctor frowned and looked her up and down. Finally, his eyes fell on her hair and he looked at her for a moment.
“My lady has thick hair and seems to have plenty of energy and blood, so she doesn’t need medical treatment.”
Princess Shu was startled: "I don't want to treat my hair, old sir, you must have remembered the wrong person."
The ghost doctor looked at her seriously: "Although Lao Chan is old, his head is not foggy. Today the King of Shu came to Lao Chan and asked for the secret recipe for hair growth. It is true that he asked for it for his wife."
There was a "bang" sound, as if a heavy hammer hit Princess Shu's heart.
She looked at the ghost doctor in surprise: "What I want is the secret recipe for giving birth!"
Her husband said that he went to see a famous doctor for her to fulfill her dream of having a baby. Why did he want her hair to grow?
The ghost doctor didn't say anything for the time being, he just took his pulse with a sullen face.
After a moment, he retracted his hand: "Madam, you can't be pregnant."
Princess Shu's face turned pale: "Please ask the ghost doctor to explain it more clearly."
The ghost doctor didn't have a good look on his face: "How clear is the old man's explanation? Madam, don't you know your own body? Your menstruation is unstable, and although you are not depleted of qi and blood, you have been taking the anti-zi decoction for a long time, and your health is bad. No, I can’t get pregnant.”
Avoid the child’s decoction! ?
Princess Shu almost knelt down from her chair.
She looked anxious and uneasy: "I have never drunk it before." Suddenly, she thought that every time she and her husband paid homage to the Duke of Zhou, the King of Shu would arrange for someone to bring a bowl of soup.
He said that it can replenish qi and blood, and can help Princess Shu regulate her body and help her get pregnant as soon as possible.
Princess Shu had no doubt that he was there. She had drank a lot in the past twenty years!
So, is that actually Bizi Tang? !
The ghost doctor had lost his patience and urged her: "Madam, if there is something you haven't clarified, please go back and don't delay the next person's consultation."
The charlatan despised the powerful, but his attitude towards the Princess of Shu could be said to be somewhat disgusting.
Princess Shu stood up dullly and walked out in a daze.
Suddenly, she realized something and turned around to ask: "Mr. Ghost Doctor, you and I are strangers. I asked myself, since I just came in until now, I have never offended you. Why do you always treat me with a cold face?"
I thought the ghost doctor would explain something, but unexpectedly, he snorted coldly.
"The King of Shu has a noble status, and naturally he doesn't look down on ordinary people like Lao Chan. He clearly came here to seek medical advice, but after asking, he threatened the ordinary people not to tell anyone about his visit, otherwise, he would let Lao Chan Let's see, with his attitude like this, why do I need to give you a good face?"
"After learning that Madam is the Princess of Shu, I still see you and diagnose your pulse. It is out of the virtue of a doctor, but it does not mean that I will tolerate you forever. Please also ask Madam to send a message to the prince. I am no more than a wild crane in the rivers and lakes, so I can heal you." The disease is based on conscience, if he is so afraid of being known by outsiders, he need not come!"
Princess Shu walked out of the compartment almost like a wandering spirit.
Behind her is Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye’s daughter-in-law.
Seeing Princess Shu's face pale and panicked, she couldn't help but take two steps forward and asked with concern: "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Ye looked around: "Why don't you see His Royal Highness the King of Shu? Come, please help the princess to sit over there and rest."
Hearing the name of King Shu, Princess Shu felt frightened for the first time and broke into a cold sweat.
She shook her head: "No, it's okay. It's just that the ghost doctor spoke frankly. I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant."
Mrs. Ye was startled and understood.
It is no secret in the capital that the Princess of Shu is seeking a son.
As both a woman, Mrs. Ye sighed with emotion: "Princess, please forgive me for saying something inappropriate. Now that I have a child, I will have to work hard to raise her. She will be in her prime when you are gray-haired." , why bother? It’s a good thing to think about the good things."
After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, the urging voice of the old ghost doctor came from the cubicle: "Next one! Where is the person!"
Mrs. Ye could only say goodbye to Princess Shu first.
Princess Shu was resting on a chair beside her with confusion.
The husband asked the ghost doctor for a secret recipe for hair growth. Who needs this most?
Her first reaction was to think of Concubine Qi.
And I couldn't help but think of the parallel lotus jade medal she hung around her neck on the day of Concubine Qi's birthday party!
Since she was the mother-in-law of the Ninth Prince, why did she choose such a pattern?
Thinking back to the recent look in Shen Ningning's eyes when she was talking about her husband.
Princess Shu felt cold all over.
If it is true that the King of Shu liked Concubine Qi, it is also true that he took the opportunity to feed her Bizi Soup for twenty years.
So, this is enough to show that her pillow person never thought about asking her to give birth to his child!
But why? They are already married. Even if he pretends to be someone else in his heart, he should not prevent her from giving birth to a legitimate son of the royal family!
unless…
He already has children.
Princess Shu realized this possibility and her face turned pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Looking back at King Shu's smile when he faced her, she only felt it was sinister and full of malice.
Princess Shu was so frightened that she felt ghostly figures around her.
At this moment, a hand touched her shoulder.
Princess Shu screamed and jumped up suddenly. (End of chapter)
