Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 551 Diagnosing a Ping An Pulse (2)
Mrs. Li was startled, and hurriedly said: "I heard from our lord that Uncle Wang went out of the city to pick up Aze's cousin yesterday. Could it be that he was injured on Zhuangzi, and I was wrong?"

Princess Ning wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It was injured on Zhuangzi, fourth daughter-in-law, you are not mistaken."

Only then did Li secretly heave a sigh of relief, and raised her eyes to glance at Wu Jingzhen. Wu Jingzhen's face was gloomy, and she ignored Li at all.Anyway, the two sisters-in-law and sister-in-law are completely separated today, and no one needs to give the other any face.

As soon as Princess Ning finished speaking, a little servant girl came in and knelt down to report: "Report to Madam, word has come in that the prince has already taken Prince Ke and Prince Jin to Jiaotai Garden."

Princess Ning nodded, stood up slowly and said in a deep voice, "You are all here to see Ze'er, so let me go with you."

Mrs. Li and Wu Jingzhen bowed in response, followed Prince Ning and Princess Ning from left to right, and led a large group of maidservants to Jiaotai Garden.

In Jiaotai Garden, Du Heng had already made arrangements. Xiao Ze lay on the bed with his face turned outwards. His hair was disheveled and as dry as straw without any luster. , with his eyes tightly closed, and several cracks and peelings on his purple-black lips, it was obvious that he had been poisoned.Her body was covered with an apricot red satin brocade quilt, her shoulders were half covered, and she could vaguely see the plain silk wrapped with purple and black bloodstains on her shoulders.

Du Heng himself did some tidying up, and saw that her complexion was pale, her eyes were bloodshot, the two patches of black and blue under her eyes could not be covered even with makeup, and even though rouge was applied on her lips, the color was not very submissive.Even the black hair that was originally smooth and supple looked frizzy, and there was only a phoenix hairpin with gold and silver strands and beads in it.

When Princess Ning and Wu Jingzhen entered the door, they were startled and then laughed inwardly. They really didn't know that Du Heng had such abilities, the makeup was really amazing.Li Shi didn't know what to do, seeing Du Heng so haggard, he felt refreshed.

Prince Ning walked in with Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi, and seeing his son and daughter-in-law, he was very satisfied, but there was nothing in his eyes, his eyes were full of worry.On the contrary, when Xiao Jing saw the haggard Du Heng, his eyes suddenly turned strange.No one knows except Xiao Jing himself, what he likes most is that kind of emaciated little woman.Du Heng's appearance just hit Xiao Jing's itching spot, and in an instant, Xiao Jing had a different idea of ​​Du Heng.

Du Heng came to the crowd with downcast eyes, stepped forward to salute in a precarious posture, and said in a sad voice: "Daughter-in-law, please pay respects to my father and mother. I have seen four cousins, four cousins, seven cousins ​​and seven cousins."

Before Prince Ning opened his mouth, Xiao Jing rushed to say: "Siblings and sisters are free..." Halfway through the speech, Xiao Jing realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly stopped talking, secretly blaming himself for not being able to hold back his temper.Li Shi felt strange in his heart, and secretly glanced at Xiao Jing, although Xiao Jing lowered his eyes to hide it, but Li Shi was already suspicious of him.

Prince Ning frowned, and then said slowly to Du Heng: "Ze'er, daughter-in-law, don't be too sad, father and king will definitely cure Ze'er at all costs. It's not a problem if you keep guarding day and night. Son, go and rest."

Du Heng answered "Yes" in a low voice, but he was thinking about whether to attack Xiao Jing. She had just hidden the heart-eating powder that she developed not long ago in her sleeve, as long as she poured it into Xiao Jing's tea , Xiao Ze's revenge can be avenged.But just now Xiao Ze told her very solemnly, asking her not to poison Xiao Jing.Does she want to listen to Xiao Ze?

"Good boy, let's see how tired you are, and you haven't eaten something properly. Seventh daughter-in-law, you can accompany your sister to have some snacks and have a rest. This child hasn't slept much since yesterday, really. It's really hard for her."

Although Princess Ning knew that Du Heng had put on makeup, but in Baopu Garden just now, her daughter-in-law's dark eyes could not be covered, so she whispered to Wu Jingzhen.

Wu Jingzhen responded, and Li Shi hurriedly said, "Aunt Wang, let me go with my cousins."

Princess Ning frowned, and said displeasedly: "Then it will be hard work for you."

Li Shi did not talk hard, so he and Wu Jingzhen accompanied Du Heng to leave.The three sisters-in-law arrived at Dongci Room, and Yangmei brought tea and snacks. Wu Jingzhen felt sorry for Du Heng, and ignored Li Shi. She just took a goose oil and pine nut roll and handed it to Du Heng, saying in a coaxing tone: "Ah Heng , pad your stomach before eating tea, carefully hurt your stomach."

Seeing that Wu Jingzhen cared so much for Du Heng, Mrs. Li couldn't help saying sourly: "I really didn't expect the seventh brother and sister to be so considerate. It's strange that the seventh brother holds you as a treasure."

Wu Jingzhen glanced at Mrs. Li, and said indifferently: "Isn't the fourth sister-in-law here to take care of Ah Heng with me? It turns out that the fourth sister-in-law can't even take care of others, so I blame the fourth brother..." Wu Jingzhen deliberately said to keep half of it, but her The unfinished meaning was clear in Li Shi's heart, and his face turned ashen from anger, and he couldn't even maintain the most basic face.

Du Heng was also worried that Wu Jingzhen would carry it for herself and Li Shi, and it would be bad if Li Shi and the Queen wore small shoes when entering the palace, so she grabbed Wu Jingzhen's wrist and called softly: "Sister..." Before he finished shouting, Du Heng's complexion changed slightly, and the hand holding Wu Jingzhen's wrist had already been released and changed to the posture of checking the pulse.

After a brief examination, Du Heng stood up and helped Wu Jingzhen to sit down. Wu Jingzhen was baffled by Du Heng's trouble, and said while sitting down: "Ah Heng, I don't feel any discomfort..."

Du Heng said softly: "I know my sister is not feeling well, but we haven't seen each other for a while, so I'll give you a safe pulse."

Mrs. Li curled her lips when she heard this, and said sourly: "It can be seen that you are relatives and sisters-in-law. Didn't you say that cousins ​​and sisters don't easily diagnose pulses, even uncles..."

Du Heng didn't even look at Mrs. Li, but said indifferently: "Sister-in-law Si Wang's family has a long history, you should have heard of the difference between men and women!"

"You... hum!" Li Shi couldn't figure out how to answer Du Heng's words, so he could only snort angrily.

Du Heng didn't pay attention to Mrs. Li, but concentrated on diagnosing Wu Jingzhen's pulse.After both hands were examined, a smile appeared on her pale face. She looked at Wu Jingzhen's belly, and said softly with a smile, "Congratulations sister, you have been pregnant for one and a half months."

Wu Jingzhen was stunned when she heard this, and Li Shi who was at the side jumped up even more, staring at Wu Jingzhen's lower abdomen with her eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "Cousin, don't talk nonsense!"
