Qingchuan History

Chapter 389
Ruan Xueyin was stunned, feeling that her mind was dull, she thought about the literal meaning of this sentence, shook her head,

"No."

"Then, madam is here," Dr. Cui continued to ask, lowering her voice, "Is your menstruation normal?"

Except for Gu Xinglang, everyone in the hall is female relatives.The madam calls for the pulse, and even the inkstone is waiting outside the gate of the palace.

Ruan Xueyin was stunned again, and answered for a while:
"There's nothing wrong with timing or duration."

"That's weird."

"How should I say it?" Gu Xinglang asked.

"Madam has plenty of qi and blood, but it's a little messy, which is clearly related to diet and medicine. But ordinary nourishing prescriptions, even if they conflict with the body, will show relatively consistent symptoms. Madam's situation—"

"Is it important?" Gu Xinglang asked again.

"Your Majesty, forgive the crime. I don't dare to draw conclusions without knowing the reason."

"Our women's physical illnesses," but Shangguan concubine said softly, "If it's not the wind-cold disease, most of them are related to qi, blood and fertility. Doctor Cui said that my sister has a lot of qi and blood, then—" She raised her hand and covered her mouth lightly, smile,
"Have you figured it out, it's really not Ximai?"

Sudden dizziness is in line with some women's symptoms of early pregnancy.

"Mrs. Huijin, this humble minister has served the harem for two dynasties. Although he is not good at learning, he will not make mistakes whether he is happy or not."

"If it wasn't for Ximai—" Shangguan concubine was thoughtful, with a drawn-out ending, very serious.

I don't know if she was inspired by this conversation, Doctor Cui suddenly thought of something, raised her eyes and asked:

"Has Madam ever taken some?"

It should be difficult to ask, her expression was difficult to understand, so she stopped there.

Ruan Xueyin responded slightly, her heart skipped a beat, she raised her eyes to look at Shangguan Concubine.The other party is also looking at him fixedly, with a half-smile.

"What?" Gu Xinglang was impatient.

"Your Majesty." Ruan Xueyin turned to look at Gu Xinglang.

Obviously to tell him not to ask.

Why can't I ask?Gu Xinglang was inexplicable.

"Thinking about it," Shangguan concubine hesitated, glanced left and right at Ji Wanling and Duan Xirun, "Sister Pei used some prescription that is inconvenient for others to know? How about we retreat first?"

When I first returned to the palace in May, there was a saying in the first wave of special favors:

Mrs. Pei's teacher came from Pengxi Mountain, learned a wonderful skill, and now she is very popular, I'm afraid she used some secret technique to seduce you, I don't know.

This is Yunxi's retelling, so naturally there is something to it.Shangguan concubine said at this moment "a prescription that is not convenient for others to know"——

It's not like saying it casually.It really seems to point to something.

The speaker is attentive, and the listeners who are all on the cusp of the storm will not be completely unintentional.

Duan Xirun blinked, not daring to answer.

Ji Wanling said for a long while: "If it's really inconvenient, we shouldn't care about it carelessly here. Your Majesty—"

The three looked at Gu Xinglang together, waiting for instructions.

The words have come to this point, and if you ask people to retreat, you will really have no money here, and you will be a guilty conscience.And Gu Xinglang was sure that Ruan Xueyin didn't know how to use any secret technique, nor had she ever used any secret technique.

But what did she mean by that glance just now?

Do things urgently.The best way to dispel rumors is to present facts.He looked at Doctor Cui,
"Speak directly. Ask whatever you want. They are all female relatives of the first palace, so there is no inconvenience."

"Yes."

Ruan Xueyin's heart beat slightly faster.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Dr. Cui quietly.

Dr. Cui also looked at her respectfully, "I have the courage to ask Madam if I have used some that I found myself." Then she paused, "The contraceptive prescription should be taken orally for a long time."

Sure enough it was this.

After confirming the whereabouts, she felt a little relieved.

Naturally, the answer cannot be yes.

It is a serious crime for the imperial concubine to take medicine privately, and she still uses the contraceptive prescription that hinders the continuation of the royal family's incense.

One of the reasons why the exclusive pet was criticized by the government and the public was that it was not conducive to the prosperity of the royal family.The only beloved concubine who has been contraceptive all year round and does not intend to give birth to a prince or daughter——

His heart can be punished.The crime should be executed.

Why can't the answer be yes.

It must be killed, isn't it.

Whether or not contraceptives have been taken orally can not be detected by the pulse condition.Dr. Cui's questioning now is completely guided by Shangguan's concubine.

"Of course not." She replied slowly, "Why would Dr. Cui think so?"

"Forgive me, madam." Dr. Cui knelt down and bowed hurriedly, "I'm just guessing based on madam's condition. Qi and blood are disordered, and it is not ruled out that contraceptives and other prescriptions may disrupt the body's regularity. And madam is indeed -"

"It is true that I have been grateful for a long time, but there has been no joy." As if it was just casual, when the words came out, the Shangguan concubine was startled, and she fell to her knees, "My concubine made a slip of the tongue, Your Majesty forgive me."

Looking at Ruan Xueyin again,

"My concubine always speaks quickly, and the words are all unintentional, sister must not listen to it." Fu Fu looked back,

"Don't say that the concubine's private use of medicine, or contraception, is a felony in itself. How could such a thing be done based on the affection of my sister and the emperor? The imperial court cuts down the favor, and understands that the royal family's incense is used as a basis. If this is the case, how can my sister still defy the law regardless of what others say?"

She narrowed her eyes, as if she wasn't looking anywhere.But every word was sonorous, and the whole hall echoed.

A long ambush.Waiting here.

Ruan Xueyin calmly glanced at the faces of Shangguan Concubine, Ji Wanling and Duan Xirun.

At this moment, it is too late to analyze.And pass this level first.

"Of course not." She stood up, and Yunxi went to help her up.

She moved her arms to indicate that she didn't need it, took two steps and turned around, knelt down facing Gu Xinglang,
"Your Majesty's lesson. This disease suddenly happened today, and the ministers and concubines don't know why. Just now, Doctor Cui's questioning is not only the heart of the doctor, but also the responsibility of the ministers. The ministers and concubines dare not complain, and only answer based on facts. The day of Cheng Chong It's been a long time, so far no joy, it's the fault of the concubine. As for contraception, "

Still a little groggy.The new scents are no longer coming, the ones that have been inhaled are slowly dispersing,

"Nothing."

This is not the first time she has lied in public.Back then, she covered up her appearance and faced the royal family of the Gu family at the Tianlong Festival banquet, so the story was told smoothly.

But for the first time she felt nervous.It's not because both Shangguan Concubine and Ji Wanling know that they know medicine and know how to use medicine.

It was because she was telling Gu Xinglang that there was nothing wrong with it.

In front of everyone.

The air is as heavy as water, and the evening wind blows a strange fragrance.

"There is no such thing," Gu Xinglang said after a while, speaking very slowly, "Then Dr. Cui will observe and diagnose again, and prescribe some prescriptions as appropriate to recuperate Mrs. Pei's body."

And to the people:

"It is inevitable that there will be assumptions and misunderstandings when asking for medicine. Since it is a misunderstanding, there is no need to mention it after leaving the gate of the Lantern Palace. It will provoke criticism and disrupt discipline for no reason."

It's a gag order.

"Yes."

Doctor Cui responded quickly, and everyone else responded.Shangguan concubine knelt behind Ruan Xueyin and answered especially loudly.

"Houyuan Discipline, Wan Ling, I have to work harder for you to manage it."

Ji Wanling was startled, and said with downcast eyes: "Yes."

"Everyone back down." Gu Xinglang sat upright, raised his voice to call for his chariot to be prepared, and turned to Yunxi:
"You will also get on the chariot later, so that you can take care of Mrs. Pei back home. I will come to Zhexue Palace later to see."

He didn't look at her again. After saying this, he got up and went to the side hall.

Everyone sent them off with blessings, and then they left the hall one after another.Duan Xirun wrung his hands for a moment, saw Ji Wanling and Shangguan concubine walking away, stepped forward and said softly:

"I'll go back with my sister."

Ruan Xueyin subconsciously took two steps back.A little distance, this fragrance is not effective.Her mind gradually became clearer.Sitting next to each other earlier, with some space in between, less airflow fluctuations, and no careful sniffing, nothing happened.

It was the other party who stood up and started to act, the fragrance drifted away with the body temperature, and I got closer and closer, smelling deeper and deeper, and then something went wrong.

Still very wrong.Only myself will faint.When they left the hall, everyone was more or less close to each other, Ji Wanling, Shangguan concubine and a few maidservants were not affected at all.

Is it because I have been sniffing for a long time and deeply?

What about the perfumer himself?

Her mind was spinning, before she could speak.Duan Xirun was taken aback by the opponent's retreat,
"Sister." She looked at her with round eyes, "Sister blamed me for not defending you just now."

From the problem of Zhonggong to the risk of contraception, Duan Xirun is protecting himself.Especially in the discussion in the middle palace, it even inadvertently fueled the momentum of those two.

But Ruan Xueyin doesn't plan to put her in this round.Compassion and intuition are the main reasons.

The only thing that needs to be figured out as soon as possible is the aroma.

"No. How come." It was really uncomfortable, she forced a smile, "It's just that the fragrance you carry around your body today is different from the past. I'm not used to it. When you get close, you always feel dizzy."

Duan Xirun blinked, "Sister, you mean—"

"It doesn't mean anything else. I'm sick today," and it's not convenient to talk about it in detail in Wanlan Hall. "What kind of incense do you use, can you show it to me another day? Don't spray it on your body," she said. Laugh again, just kidding,
"I'm a bit overwhelmed."

"Okay. This fragrance—" Duan Xirun frowned, subconsciously raised her sleeves and sniffed lightly.

I always feel like she's about to say something.

Stop talking here.Ruan Xueyin spoke again:
"Tomorrow. Let me rest for a while, and tomorrow you come to Zhexue Palace for afternoon tea."

The cicadas' chirping became quieter, and was gradually covered by the rustling of the wind blowing through the summer trees.

Duan Xirun nodded lightly, "Yes."
