Chapter 460: The Princess of Shu Discovers the Affair
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 they arrived, the emperor immediately ordered someone to seat them.
The courtiers all looked at it and whispered -
"Is this the genius doctor's junior brother?"
"That's him, the old gentleman Xiangyou who is known as the ghost doctor in the world of martial arts."
"I heard that he comes and goes without a trace. He specializes in treating women. No amount of money can be paid to get him. 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 in your 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 miracle doctor and the ghost doctor will diagnose the pulse and treat the diseases of the concubines and female family members, which is considered a privilege from the emperor.
The ministers were deeply moved and shouted that the emperor's grace was so great.
Some people 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, 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.
Meet the old gentleman?
She remembered that before her husband went out today, he told her that Xiangyou was the one he wanted to see.
So now that Xiangyou has come to the palace for the banquet, where is her husband, the King of Shu?
The female relatives lined up in the cubicle for consultation.
Princess Shu thought for a moment, then stood up and went over to ask Xiang You if she could still be pregnant with her pulse condition like this.
It was hard to wait until she got in line.
As soon as Princess Shu went in and sat down, she saw the ghost doctor Xiangyou pouting his mouth, and his gray beard was slightly upturned.
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 looks like she has plenty of energy and blood. 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 I am old, I am not confused in my head. Today the King of Shu came to see me 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!"
The husband said that he went to see famous doctors 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, and just took his pulse with a sullen face.
After a moment, he retracted his hand: "Madam, you can't be pregnant anymore."
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. "I can't get pregnant."
Avoid child decoction! ?
Princess Shu almost knelt down from her chair.
She looked anxious and uneasy: "I have never drank before."
Suddenly, she thought that every time she and her husband performed the courtesy of Duke 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!
It turned out that it was Bizi Tang? !
The ghost doctor had lost his patience and urged her: "Madam, if there is something you haven't clarified, please come back and don't delay the next person's consultation."
The charlatan despised the powerful, but his attitude towards Princess Shu could be said to be somewhat disgusting.
Princess Shu stood up dullly and walked out a little dejectedly.
Suddenly, she realized something and turned around to ask: "Old Mr. Ghost Doctor, you and I are strangers. I asked myself that I have never offended you from the time I first came in until now. Why do you always treat me coldly?"
I thought the ghost doctor would give some explanation, but unexpectedly, he snorted coldly.
"The King of Shu has a noble status, so 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, 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. This 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." It's a matter of conscience. If he is so afraid of being known by outsiders, he doesn't need to come!"
Princess Shu walked out of the compartment almost like a wandering spirit.
Behind her was Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye’s daughter-in-law.
Seeing Princess Shu's pale face and panic-stricken expression, she couldn't help but step forward and asked with concern: "Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Ye looked around: "Why can't I see His Royal Highness the King of Shu? Come on, help the princess to sit over there and rest."
Hearing the name of the King of Shu, the Princess of Shu felt frightened for the first time and broke out in a cold sweat.
She shook her head: "No, it's okay, it's just that the ghost doctor speaks bluntly, I'm afraid I can't get pregnant."
Mrs. Ye was stunned and understood.
It's no secret in the capital that the Princess of Shu wants a child.
As a woman, Mrs. Ye sighed with emotion: "Princess, please forgive me for saying something inappropriate. If you want a child now and raise her, I'm afraid it will be too much work. When you are old and gray, she will be in her prime. Why bother? It's a good thing to think about the bright side."
After Mrs. Ye finished speaking, the old ghost doctor's voice came from the compartment urging: "Next! Where is the person!"
Mrs. Ye could only say goodbye to the Princess of Shu first.
The Princess of Shu sat on a chair beside her to rest with a confused heart.
What her husband asked the ghost doctor for was a secret recipe for hair growth. Who needs it the most?
Her first reaction was to think of Concubine Qi.
She couldn't help but think of the lotus jade pendant she wore around her neck on Concubine Qi's birthday banquet!
Since it was given to his mother by the Ninth Prince, why would he choose such a pattern?
Then she thought of Shen Ningning's hesitant look when she heard her talk about her husband recently.
The Princess of Shu felt cold all over.
If it was true that the King of Shu liked Concubine Qi, and it was also true that he took the opportunity to feed her contraceptive soup for twenty years.
Then, this was enough to show that her bedmate had never thought of asking her to give birth to his child!
But why? They were already married, and even if he had someone else in his heart, he shouldn't have stopped her from giving birth to a legitimate son of the palace!
Unless...
He already had a child.
The Princess of Shu realized this possibility, her face was pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Thinking back to the smile that the King of Shu had when he faced her, it was gloomy and full of malice.
The Princess of Shu was terrified, and felt ghosts around her.
At this moment, a hand touched her shoulder.
The Shu Princess screamed and jumped up suddenly. (End of this chapter)
