Chapter 109: King Yan, your wife...

While they were chatting, Xu Miaoyun, who was quietly drinking tea, suddenly put down the tea bowl, covered her mouth and vomited uncomfortably.

Zhu Di's attention was instantly drawn to it, and he said with some worry:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xu Miaoyun was obviously in great pain, and her face had turned visibly paler.

It took her a while to recover completely, and she waved to her husband:

"Maybe it's because you haven't had enough rest recently. It's okay. Just rest more these few days."

"Let's talk business, I'm fine."

Zhu Di looked at his wife carefully and found that she was indeed fine. Then he turned around and looked at Xu Yungong and Song Shen again.

The former was also a little worried about his sister, but like Zhu Di, he took a look and found nothing wrong, so he didn't take it too seriously.

The same goes for Zhang Wei on the side.

Only one person had a rather subtle expression.

That is the completely invisible Song Shen.

Because he lived in that era, Song Shen had to use his position to look through historical records about the period before and after Hongwu in small quantities and multiple times during his lesson preparation. And because he later ascended the throne through the Jingnan Campaign, there were quite a few records about Zhu Di even during the Hongwu period.

In addition, Song Shen lived in the tenth year of Hongwu, so he almost read through all the historical materials of the tenth and eleventh years.

There weren't many things worth recording, so he was particularly impressed by the more important parts.

such as……

"Uh, I'm just asking."

Song Shen carefully considered his words and spoke:
"Princess, have you lost your appetite recently? Are you often feeling unwell and nauseous?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and looked at his wife.

Xu Miaoyun was also stunned for a moment. She felt that the question was indeed presumptuous and didn't know where to start.

But Xu Yungong and Zhang Wei beside them said in unison:

"But you can say it! He can cure diseases!"

They both saw with their own eyes how Song Shen stopped a bleeding patient, and that was when he was completely blind and under command. Moreover, Xu Yungong had even received accurate information that if Zhang Laosan's leg did not become red, swollen and pus-filled within three days, it would be completely saved, so what else could he not believe?
As for Zhang Wei...

If His Majesty was not afraid of revealing his identity, he would have just called Song Shen into the palace for protection. With this status, as long as Song Shen dared to say it, Zhang Wei would believe it.

Xu Miaoyun was silent for a moment, but still chose to believe her elder brother.

"I have been having a bit of a loss of appetite lately, and I often feel unwell."

"But a while ago, we received an imperial decree to return to Yingtian. The journey was very tiring, and we were always in a hurry. Sitting in the carriage was really dizzy. I wanted to ride a horse with the prince, but the prince felt that it was unsafe. Even though I was born in a family of military generals, I had never ridden a horse for such a long time, so I finally gave up."

"The jolting carriage and the lack of rest should be normal, right? I don't... I don't have an incurable disease, do I?"

By the end, Xu Miaoyun herself was a little worried.

She was only fifteen or sixteen years old this year. She had learned martial arts from Xu Da since she was young. She had a very good physical condition since she was young and had never suffered a serious illness. But at this moment, Xu Yungong and Zhang Wei swore to vouch for Song Shen's medical skills, and Song Shen suddenly asked about her symptoms and said that she was right. This made people worry.

Song Shen shook his head with a rather subtle expression.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, but this expression almost made Xu Yungong and Zhu Di anxious to death.

Xu Yungong pulled him and bowed and saluted:
"Brother Ziwei, if Miaoyun has any problems, just tell me. My family may not be able to hire you, but we can still afford to hire an imperial physician. Tell me clearly as soon as possible so that I can treat her quickly if she really has any problems!"

Zhu Di was also on guard, and secretly made up his mind -

If Song Shen doesn't help treat it, he will go to Wenhua Hall and kneel for three days and three nights, begging his elder brother for help and asking Song Shen to come out!

Anyway, my father is definitely unreliable, so it’s better to go directly to my eldest brother from the beginning!
Song Shen was swayed from side to side and quickly raised his hands in surrender:
"No, no! Hey Yun Gong, calm down first!"

"Let me go and I'll tell you!"

Xu Yungong immediately let go and stepped back three or two steps, fearing that he would interfere with Song Shen's discussion of his illness.

After a not-so-long silence.

Song Shen coughed and said faintly:
"Is there a possibility that the princess is pregnant?"

Xu Yungong, Zhu Di, Zhang Wei:
"what???"

no……

Firstly, you are a blind man and cannot tell the complexion of the patient. Secondly, you sat eight feet away from Xu Miaoyun without saying a word to her. Thirdly, you have never felt her pulse. Diagnosis requires four steps: observation, auscultation, inquiry and palpation. You only took the "smell" part, which means you just heard Xu Miaoyun vomit.

If all women who retched were pregnant, wouldn't the world be in chaos? !
"Your Highness the Prince of Yan was right to insist on not letting the princess travel on horseback. She is probably less than one month pregnant now, or has just reached the first month. If she were to ride a horse for such a long time to Yingtianfu, the child would probably die halfway."

Song Shen waved his hand:
"Whether you believe it or not, based on my intuition, the princess is most likely pregnant. If you believe me, you should go back and ask the imperial physician to take a look instead of standing here in a daze."

The living room fell into deathly silence.

Zhu Di looked at his wife on the left, and at his brother-in-law on the right, and the three of them had the same look of confusion on their faces.

No...is this the final conclusion?

So now, should they leave or stay?
If they left immediately as Song Shen said, they would all be a little unwilling. After all, the purpose of coming here today was to establish a good relationship with Song Shen so that he could say a few good words in front of His Majesty, so that Zhu Di would not be beaten every now and then.

But if they didn't leave, the two grown men would really be worried about the possible fetus in Xu Miaoyun's belly.

For this kind of thing, the risk increases if you delay it for a day, so there is an unwritten rule from ancient times to the present, that is, if the fetus is less than three months old, the news should not be spread. Didn't you see that Lu in the East Palace? Her belly was so big that she was about to give birth, but she still lost the child for no apparent reason.

Think about it.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and bowed:

"Then I will take my leave and take the princess back to the palace to see the imperial physician."

"If this is true, I will definitely come to thank Mr. Song handsomely in the future!"

He changed from the reserved attitude he had when he entered the room just now, and focused all his attention on his wife, fearing that she would get bumped or hurt.

Even though he hadn't consulted the imperial physician yet and it wasn't set in stone, once this possibility came up, Zhu Di was extremely afraid that something unexpected would happen and cause the baby to be gone. As Song Shen said, he was now very glad that he had insisted on not letting Xu Miaoyun ride a horse to hurry on. If he suddenly found out that his wife had miscarried while they were hurrying on, it would be a disaster.

When Xu Yungong saw him make the decision, he thought that today was definitely not the right time, and at the same time he began to look at Zhu Di a little more favorably.

Although this man is a bit cruel, at least he still cares about his sister. My sister shouldn't have a hard time in the future when she goes to the north.

Two big men escorted Xu Miaoyun out of Song Shen's house like bodyguards.

The latter listened to their footsteps gradually fading away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ziwei, I didn't realize you were so cunning. Did you say this on purpose to make King Yan and the others leave?"

Zhang Wei glanced at him sideways and blurted out something.

Song Shen stared into space:

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"I'm not making this up. The Princess of Yan is really pregnant. If we don't pay attention, we can't say what will happen in the future." Yes, this is something of some value that he found out from the historical materials of the tenth and eleventh years of Hongwu.

In July of the eleventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaochi was born in Fengyang, Zhongdu.

It is now October in the late autumn of the tenth year of Hongwu. Winter is coming soon. It is said that a pregnancy takes ten months. According to the date, Xu Miaoyun should be pregnant by now.

This is actually difficult to judge, after all, Song Shen has never been a father in his two lifetimes, and he has never actually seen his wife giving birth to a child.

At the age of 25, he would have been considered an older bachelor in ancient times. Even with his family background, he could only be considered a diamond bachelor. And he also had the system. Song Shen wished that there was no one around him, otherwise if his wife found out during class every day at noon, it would be really difficult to explain.

Putting aside the fact that she had no experience, Xu Miaoyun suddenly retched while drinking tea just now. It would be hard to say that it was because she was tired from the long journey and didn't get enough rest, so Song Shen thought there was a high possibility that she was pregnant.

Take a step back and say——

Even if he really made a wrong judgment, what's the problem?
No matter what, Xu Miaoyun had been pregnant with Zhu Gaochi for only one or two months, and it would be discovered sooner or later. There was nothing wrong with him making a prediction, as long as he could drive Zhu Di and his wife and Xu Yungong out of his home now!

Song Shen really didn't want to deal with Zhu Di.

He still remembered that according to historical records, Zhu Di was feared by Lan Yu, who was a staunch supporter of the prince. This meant that this guy would not be very honest in Yan in the future. At the very least, there was a suspicion that he would have his own army and be self-reliant. He did not want to have anything to do with such a person at all.

Stay away, the farther the better!

…………

royal palace.

In the Wuying Hall, Wenhua Hall and Kunning Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Empress Ma received the news from the Yiluansi at the same time.

"What, Prince Yan went to Song Shen's house and came back?!"

"What, Song Shen said that Princess Yan is pregnant?!"

"What, my dad knows that the fourth brother went to find Song Shen?!"

——The above are the reactions of Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma and Zhu Biao respectively.

The person responsible for conveying the message to Zhu Yuanzhang was Jiang Lin, and he had also received the emperor's order that any news about Song Shen should be sent to Wenhua Hall and Kunning Palace respectively while informing him.

Jiang Lin watched with his own eyes as Prince Yan and his entourage entered Song Shen's house and left in a hurry. Only when they were really far away did Jiang Lin run back to the palace to report the news.

And every move of the people in the reception room was recorded by him and reported directly to His Majesty.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the booklet in his hand, his expression difficult to describe.

What the hell is this?

The fourth brother ran to Song Shen’s house with eager eyes, but was sent away with just one sentence, “Your wife might be pregnant”?
In fact, he didn't expect Zhu Di to achieve much, and he didn't want Song Shen to get too close to him. After all, this guy might really rebel in the future. But the problem was that no matter how biased he was, Zhu Di was still his son.

My son was led around by Song Shen...

how to say.

I am angry that my son is not ambitious enough, but I am also afraid that he is too ambitious.

He scratched his forehead and beard and asked:

"What about the Queen and the Crown Prince? What do they say?"

Jiang Li was silent for a moment, suspiciously, before he said:

"Your Majesty, the Queen...it seems that she has already gone to the Imperial Hospital, because His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan hurried back to the palace with the Princess, and went straight to the Imperial Hospital to have someone check her pulse."

Zhu Yuanzhang bared his teeth and asked again:

"What about Biao'er - Prince, where is the prince?"

Jiang Li was troubled and said:
"After hearing about this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also brought His Royal Highness the Grandson and the Queen to go together. The Crown Princess also went, apparently wanting to see the result together."

Zhu Yuanzhang:......

Silence, silence is the Wuying Hall today.

After all this time, the whole family has gone to join in the fun, and he's the only one still here handling official business? !

He hesitated for a long time before throwing his sleeves indignantly:
"What are you standing there for? Bring the imperial hospital! Let's go there too!"

Zhu Yuanzhang certainly knew why his family members were all willing to go there.

Regarding the previous incident with Zhu Yunwen, although my sister didn't say it, for someone who loves her grandchildren so much, it is actually quite cruel for her to personally order someone to kill her unborn grandchild.

However, firstly, Lu was already very pregnant and it was hard to tell when she would give birth. Once she gave birth, it would be very difficult to deal with the situation. Secondly, although Zhu Yunwen was a grandson, according to later history, he seemed to have some strange connection with the death of Empress Ma and Zhu Biao. Compared with a grandson, a son was of course more important.

Even if Zhu Yunwen was gone, there would still be other children, but if Zhu Biao was gone, half of the couple’s life’s work would be destroyed - the other half was this empire.

This incident also had a significant impact on Zhu Biao.

So, when the mother and son heard that there might be a happy event in the fourth brother's family, and the news was told by Song Shen himself, they naturally wanted to go and take a look.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang still had some estrangement and fear towards Zhu Di in his heart, he did not want to spoil their fun at this time.

Jiang Li was stunned for a few seconds, and seeing that His Majesty was already a little impatient, he quickly ordered out:
"Prepare! Prepare the Imperial Hospital!"

…………

Too hospital.

After a group of imperial doctors took turns to observe, smell, ask and feel the patient, everyone, especially the obstetricians, gave the same answer.

"Congratulations, Princess. You are pregnant, but it's not even a month yet. You can't tell unless you look closely. You have to be careful in the first three months!"

Empress Ma, the Crown Princess and other women who had given birth gathered around Xu Miaoyun and taught her various tips on how to preserve the fetus.

And Zhu Di...

Zhu Di was already dumbfounded.

He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and suddenly he found out that he was going to be a father. He was still not used to the identity change, and with it came the great joy of “I’m going to be a father.”

All in all, my feelings are complicated.

Beside him, Zhu Biao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I've told you, as long as Song Shen said it, it's probably not wrong."

"Even if you don't believe he has any medical skills, you should think about what my father and I have encountered, right?"

Only then did Zhu Di slowly come to his senses -

No wonder, no wonder Song Shen dared to tell Miaoyun that she was pregnant without even saying a word to her.

It turns out that he had been well versed in history, and his identity in history was an emperor, so Song Shen knew it!

Zhu Di sighed:

"I am convinced...really, I am convinced!"
