On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 409 Birthday Banquet 4
It was late at night and the imperial physician had gone back, but the doctor from the Li Mansion and Jiang Yu, who was worried about Xiao Xiao, were still in the mansion.

Even though the imperial physician and Old Master Jiang said that the grandma was fine, they still did not dare to take it lightly. They all slept with their clothes on, and got up quickly when they heard the noise, just in time to meet the maid who came to ask them to come.

After the court physician and Jiang Yu took turns taking Xiao Xiao's pulse, the court physician looked at the grandmother with a somewhat conflicted look: You've already stepped into the gates of hell, but after waking up your pulse is so steady that you don't even need any tranquilizing soup. Aren't you too strong?
Thinking about it again, I was so scared when I came back that I asked the imperial physician to prescribe a tranquilizing soup.

This is too much. I am the court physician, but my wife went to see the imperial physician.

However, he could still understand his lady's feelings. After all, his medical skills were indeed not comparable to those of the imperial physician.

But later, when the Second Young Mistress heard the news, she was so scared that she cried out in stomachache and quickly asked Old Man Jiang to go and see her.

The court physician could also understand that even though Mr. Jiang’s medical skills were similar to his, people generally believed that the older a person is, the better his medical skills are.

Anyway, in the end, Second Grandma also drank the calming prescription prescribed by Grandpa Jiang.

But he couldn't understand why the eldest young lady, who was the one who needed calming down the most, didn't need calming down soup?

Jiang Yu relied on the fact that he was the eldest brother-in-law and spoke more directly: "If your lower back hurts, apply some medicine. If you don't feel any discomfort, then have a good sleep first."

"If you feel uncomfortable, don't bear it. Feel free to ask someone to call us."

The court doctor also felt that Young Master Jiang had said everything he wanted to say, so he didn't say anything more.

Li Yan suspected that his medical skills were not very good.

Your daughter-in-law has suffered so much, why don’t you prescribe any medicine?
So after they left, he asked in a low voice: "Are you really not feeling unwell?"

"Can you please not hold back?"

He had changed her clothes himself before, and there was a big bruise on her white jade-like waist.

Xiao Xiao was also unwilling to take medicine. Most of the Chinese medicine nowadays was so bitter that it made her question her life.

Besides, she is pregnant now and is always worried that taking medicine will affect the fetus.

Now after hearing what Li Yan said, he immediately said, "I'm fine."

Then I felt like I was wrong: "I'm just hungry now, I want to eat some spicy braised chicken."

Fortunately, they now have a small kitchen in their yard, and Li Yan immediately asked the maid to go to the kitchen to make spicy fried chicken and chicken noodle soup.

He began to care about whether Xiao Xiao had stomachache or waist pain.

Xiao Xiao could sense his fear, so she changed the subject and asked, "I only fainted after seeing you coming."

This was of course a lie. Before she fainted, she thought she was the suona that sounded and the cloth that was covered, and the neighbors were waiting for their food to be served.

If I'm lucky, when I open my eyes again, it will be another magical day with air conditioning, wifi and watermelon.
Of course, when I woke up and saw Li Yan, I still felt a little happy.

Li Yan thought about how he saw her with her eyes closed before, and couldn't help but feel scared: "Xiao Xiao, I know you are a good girl who helps others when you see injustice, but you are pregnant now, so you must be more careful in the future, okay?"

He held Xiao Xiao's warm, soft and boneless hand, unable to hide his fear, and said seriously: "If anything happens to you and your mother, I don't know what I will do."

Just like before, he actually knew that if he spared the life of the old woman who hurt Xiao Xiao, he might be able to get the truth about the mastermind from her after torturing her.

But at that moment, his reason had already left home, and there was only one thought in his mind, to kill anyone who dared to hurt Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao originally wanted to say: If I die, you can marry a famous lady, but when she saw his red and swollen eyes, she couldn't say the joke. "You misunderstood me," Xiao Xiao also explained to him: "I think they are targeting me."

What a joke, she values ​​her life the most. If Second Madam Sheng hadn't withdrawn her hand before falling into the water, Xiao Xiao would never have jumped in to save her.
If it were in front of outsiders, Xiao Xiao would definitely go with the flow and admit that she was Second Madam Sheng's savior.

This is a great thing for her with no harm at all.

But she didn't want to live her whole life wearing a mask in front of the man she was going to live with for the rest of her life.

Hey, wasn't she originally planning to part ways with him after a few years? Why did she have the idea of ​​spending her whole life with him at the critical moment?
Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief: "Yes, I would rather be a bear than a hero."

He even muttered, "You are still too kind. Who knows if the grandmother in Sheng Mansion is an accomplice."

Anyway, now everyone he sees seems to be someone who wants to harm his wife, and he has some extremely rebellious thoughts in his heart.

He wanted to kill the Crown Princess.

Even if someone from the palace took the blame, he still felt that the Crown Princess was the mastermind behind it.

After all, neither himself nor the Li family had any enmity with the Wang family, so it was impossible for them to act rashly against Xiao Xiao.

The second wife's biological mother was the cousin of Madam Wen who committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Li Yan felt a headache when he thought about the many cousins, relatives, guests, students, etc. in the Wen Mansion.

Xiao Xiao finally understood the meaning of the saying, "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."

She asked curiously, "What did the palace say? What happened after you saved me?"

"The Emperor and Empress were there at the time," Li Yan was glad that he went there in time. "When the Emperor and Empress travel, they are accompanied not only by guards but also by imperial physicians."

Fortunately, the imperial physician was outside at the time and was urgently summoned by the Empress to examine Xiao Xiao.

Taking into account that Grandma Li was nearly five months pregnant, the imperial physician did not prescribe any medicine after taking her pulse. Instead, he first taught Li Yan how to hold Xiao Xiao. After pressing a few acupoints, Xiao Xiao vomited a lot of water.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother asked Li Yan to bring Xiao Xiao back first.

"But don't worry, the Queen said that the palace must give you an explanation."

Xiao Xiao was deeply moved after hearing this: "The Queen is such a kind person. She actually supports me."

Li Yan nodded reluctantly in agreement. The Queen Mother had taken away his responsibility as a husband.

But with his current official position, he really can't let the palace have any concerns.

Xiao Xiao asked again: "Is there an old relative of the Wen family in the palace?"

"Yes." Li Yan didn't want her to worry about it all the time, so he said gently, "Your health is the most important thing now. How about eating some cakes first? Drink some ginseng soup?"

"No need," Xiao Xiao motioned for him to help her up: "I've been lying down for too long, and I feel uncomfortable all over. I'll get up and walk a few steps."

Li Yan was very obedient to her. He helped her up and walked around the living room a few times, answering her various questions.

Soon, the maid brought spicy fried chicken and chicken noodle soup.

This was a rare opportunity to sleep in without a problem. After Xiao Xiao ate, she washed up and went back to sleep.
