Xiao Jingrui and Doctor Qin were both waiting outside. Xiao Jingrui was concerned about his sister's safety, and so was Doctor Qin. He also wanted to know if Zhou Chen had the ability to save Xie Qi and the baby in her belly.
About half an hour passed after Zhou Chen went in. During this time, Xie Qi's crying stopped and started again, started again and stopped again. In the end, there was no sound at all.
It was not until the sound of a baby crying was heard that Xiao Jingrui and Doctor Qin outside both showed joy.
Zhou Chen was the first to push open the door and walked out.
Xiao Jingrui grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, my sister Qi..."
Zhou Chen took off the black cloth from his eyes and said, "Mother and child are safe. You are going to be an uncle."
"Really?"
Xiao Jingrui was so excited that tears came out of his eyes. Suddenly, he bent his legs, knelt down in front of Zhou Chen, and kowtowed heavily.
Zhou Chen was startled and quickly helped Xiao Jingrui up: "Jingrui, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jingrui did not stand up, but said solemnly: "Brother Yu, thank you, thank you for saving Qimei, you are the benefactor of our family, thank you so much, woo woo..."
At this moment, he cried like a child, not only because his sister survived, but also because of his own experience. He had been suppressing this emotion for a long time, and now he felt relieved and burst out all at once.
Zhou Chen could understand Xiao Jingrui's feelings, so he pulled him up, patted his arm, and said, "Jingrui, you are a man, you have to be strong. Your relatives need you now, and you have to shoulder your responsibilities."
Xiao Jingrui wiped his tears and choked up, "Brother Yu, thank you, thank you..."
Princess Li Yang also came out. She was not as exaggerated as Xiao Jingrui, but she was also very grateful.
"Mr. Chen, thank you so much for what happened today. If it weren't for you, my daughter Qi'er might not have survived. Although it's a little late to say this now, we will definitely remember this favor from you, Mr. Chen."
"You are too polite, Princess. Although Miss Xie has saved her life, her body has been severely injured. She needs to rest well in the future. But it is best not to use strong tonics in the early stage, as that will only bring side effects."
Zhou Chen didn't have a good impression of Princess Li Yang, so he didn't say much and just gave a few instructions.
"Jingrui, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Brother Yu, I'll take you there."
"it is good."
Xiao Jingrui led Zhou Chen out of the yard, accompanied him to the door, and arranged a carriage to take them back.
Zhou Chen did not go directly back to his own residence, but came to the Su Mansion.
Ever since he knew that Zhou Chen took Aunt Ji to Xie's house, Mei Changsu had been waiting. When Li Gang brought Zhou Chen in, his expression changed.
"Xiaochen, what's the situation?"
Zhou Chen sat down next to Mei Changsu and said, "The process was rather complicated, but the result was pretty good. Xie Qi and her child are safe."
"call!"
Mei Changsu let out a long breath, and his heavy mood suddenly felt much lighter. He had been worried the whole time.
"Xiaochen, thank you very much."
"Let's not be polite, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"I didn't put any pressure on myself. I just felt that if anything happened to Xie Qiru, it would be because of me. I have watched this child grow up since he was a child. It's good enough that he is alive. It's good enough that he is alive."
Before the Battle of Meiling, their family was related to the Xie family. Xie Qi was his cousin and often followed him around to play when she was a child, so they had some affection for each other.
After a long time, Mei Changsu finally came out of his emotions and handed a note to Zhou Chen.
"This is a message from Lin Chen, for you."
"For me?"
Zhou Chen took the note, which was indeed written by Lin Chen, asking him to return to Langya Mountain on August 15th of this year, and also said that this was the intention of his master, Pavilion Master Lin.
Mei Changsu said: "Old Pavilion Master Lin has been traveling abroad for many years, and he suddenly asked you and Lin Chen to return during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that there must be something important."
Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Well, come to think of it, I haven't seen Master for a few years. He travels everywhere. If it wasn't for something important, he probably wouldn't have asked us to rush back. But he's not in a hurry, so it shouldn't be a bad thing."
"There are still four months until Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no need to rush."
Mei Changsu poured Zhou Chen a cup of tea and said, "In a few days, I plan to go to the Heavenly Prison to meet Xie Yu. After so many years, it's time to know everything. Do you want to go with me then?"
Zhou Chen said: "If I'm not mistaken, you must want Prince Jing to come along, right?"
"Of course, I can't reveal my identity, so I can only let Jing Yan take the initiative to learn about the injustice of the year. I believe that as long as he knows the situation, he will definitely investigate it. In this way, I have a reason to investigate this matter."
"With Prince Jing here, I have even less reason to go."
"Whatever. It's the same thing when I come back and tell you."
…………
The imprisonment of the first-rank military marquis Xie Yu has caused the entire capital to become panic-stricken, because too many big things have happened in the capital in the past year, and several high-ranking officials from the six ministries have fallen. Now even the first-rank military marquis Xie Yu has fallen. This is definitely the biggest turmoil in the top echelons of the Daliang court in the past decade.
After Xie Yu was thrown into the Heavenly Prison, Prince Yu began to take action. He was determined to put Xie Yu to death.
But at this moment, Xia Jiang, the head of Xuan Jing Division, suddenly returned to the capital. As soon as Xia Jiang returned to the capital, Mei Changsu received the news.
That same night, Xia Dong sent a message saying that Xia Jiang was dissatisfied with her and might even suspect her, so he confined her and prohibited her from going out.
So she won't come to the Su Mansion recently, and she also asked Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen and others to be careful.
Originally, Xie Yu's case was a done deal, but as soon as Xia Jiang came back, Xie Yu changed his tone, and Emperor Liang's attitude also became erratic.
This also means that Xie Yu, who could have been convicted, now has to be retried. In short, the case has to be dragged on.
Because of this matter, Prince Yu was furious and went to Mei Changsu to complain. He even scolded his father, saying that Emperor Liang was aging and confused.
Mei Changsu took advantage of the situation, took advantage of Prince Yu's dissatisfaction, and prepared to go to the Heavenly Prison.
In order to reassure Prince Jing, he specially invited Xia Dong and prepared to cooperate with him in acting for Prince Jing.
As for what was happening in the outside world, Mei Changsu did not come to find Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen did not go out either. He just stayed at home and accompanied Gong Yu.
"Master, Young Master Xiao sent someone to deliver another gift."
Butler Lu came into the hall and reported to Zhou Chen.
Ever since Zhou Chen saved Xie Qi and her son, Xiao Jingrui has sent people to deliver gifts three times in the past half month. This is the fourth time.
Zhou Chen said: "Let someone accept it. I will go to Jing Rui in person and ask him not to send gifts again in the future."
He was also helpless. He knew that Xiao Jingrui was sincerely grateful to him, but he didn't know how to repay him, so he could only give him gifts. The gifts contained many supplements suitable for pregnant women. This showed that Xiao Jingrui was smart and knew what gifts to give so that Zhou Chen would accept them.
Butler Lu retreated, and Zhou Chen took Gong Yu to the yard and looked at the scenery outside.
"Want to go for a walk?"
Gong Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to go out. I just want to stay at home."
She has lived in a brothel for so many years and is used to the hustle and bustle and extravagance of the brothel, so she prefers quietness now. What's more, she is pregnant now. She regards the child in her belly more important than anything else. She doesn't want to go out now and just wants to take good care of the baby.
Zhou Chen said: "It's not a good thing to stay at home all the time, you still need to go out for a walk."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "I'll just walk around the courtyard at home. I don't like the atmosphere outside."
"You."
Zhou Chen knew what Gong Yu was thinking. Ever since she became pregnant, Gong Yu wanted to break away from the past and didn't want others to look at her with the eyes of the past. She was no longer the top singer of Miaoyinfang, but an ordinary woman who was about to become a mother.
He took Gong Yu's hand, came to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, accompanying Gong Yu to watch the scenery.
"Master, master..."
Butler Lu ran into the yard in a panic.
Zhou Chen frowned slightly: "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"
He knew Butler Lu's psychological quality. It was not something that ordinary people could do to lurk under his nose for so long.
Steward Lu said anxiously, "There are guards from the imperial palace outside the door, saying that they have received the emperor's order and asked you to go and receive it."
"The Imperial Guards announced the decree?"
Zhou Chen was surprised. He was just a gangster and had only met Emperor Liang once. There was no contact between them after that. Why would Emperor Liang suddenly give him an order?
Although he was confused, he quickly stood up.
"Go and have a look."
As the mistress of the mansion, Gong Yu naturally had to go there according to the emperor's order.
Zhou Chen soon saw the person who announced the decree, who turned out to be Meng Zhi. In addition to Meng Zhi, there was also a team of imperial guards.
As soon as Zhou Chen appeared, Meng Zhi pretended to say, "Mr. Chen, His Majesty has ordered you to enter the palace immediately."
Seeing Meng Zhi's look, Zhou Chen prepared to kneel down to receive the order.
Meng Zhi grabbed him and said anxiously, "His Majesty has ordered that the situation is urgent and there can be no delay, so these etiquettes are unnecessary. Come with us quickly."
Zhou Chen nodded to Gong Yu with a lot of doubts, and then left with Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi rode in front, and Zhou Chen followed on horseback, asking in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Meng Zhi replied in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, and the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are helpless. Princess Li Yang recommended you to His Majesty, saying that you also know medical skills and may be able to save the Empress Dowager."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he was speechless. He knew the Empress Dowager's health. When he first came to the capital last year, her condition was already very poor. It was lucky that she was still alive today.
At this time, the Empress Dowager was at the end of her life and could no longer be cured by medicine.
Princess Li Yang recommended him at this time. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
He felt a little unhappy, but the scene of their last meeting suddenly emerged in his mind. The old lady held his hand, showing her genuine love and care.
And from what he remembered, the old lady's love and care for him when he was a child was no less than that for Lin Shu.
If possible, he would like to cure such a kind elder.
Meng Zhi whispered, "The Empress Dowager's health is getting worse day by day. You must be mentally prepared and don't offend the Emperor."
"I see."
They soon arrived at the imperial palace, and under the leadership of Meng Zhi, Zhou Chen came to the palace of the Empress Dowager.
At this moment, many people gathered in the Empress Dowager's palace, including the Emperor, Empress, Imperial Concubine, Princess Liyang, etc...
Zhou Chen stood outside. Meng Zhi walked in, came to the side of Emperor Liang, and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Chen Yu has been brought here."
Emperor Liang nodded, and then asked Princess Li Yang beside him: "Li Yang, is Chen Yu's medical skills really as good as you said?"
Princess Li Yang replied, "Your Majesty, when Qi'er was in trouble last time, even Imperial Physician Qin was helpless. In the end, it was Chen Yu who directed the rescue and brought safety to Qi'er and her child. He was taught by the head of Langya Pavilion, and he can even do something like rebirth, so his medical skills must be good."
In fact, this time she recommended Zhou Chen, on the one hand because she really cared about the Empress Dowager, and on the other hand she wanted to repay Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen could cure the Empress Dowager, Her Majesty would be happy and might reward Zhou Chen.
As for whether Zhou Chen can’t be cured, it doesn’t matter. Haven’t you seen that so many doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau can’t do anything? Zhou Chen is much younger than them. Even if they can’t do anything, he will definitely not be punished.
Emperor Liang nodded. He had no choice now and could only pray that Zhou Chen had real ability.
"Meng Qing, go and call him in."
Zhou Chen followed the eunuch into the palace and was about to salute Emperor Liang when the emperor waved his hand.
"No need to salute, come quickly and see the condition of the Empress Dowager."
Zhou Chenba had no choice but to salute, so he quickly walked to the bedside of the Empress Dowager and took a few glances at her.
"Your Majesty, can I take the Empress Dowager's pulse?"
"Of course you can. If you can cure the Empress Dowager, I will reward you handsomely."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The palace maid next to him was very observant. She brought a stool to Zhou Chen and asked him to sit down to take his pulse. Because the Empress Dowager was not a concubine or princess, there were not too many requirements, and there was no need to take his pulse through a curtain or hanging a thread.
When Zhou Chen was taking the pulse of the Empress Dowager, everyone in the hall was looking at him curiously, with a puzzled expression on their face. Even the group of veteran doctors were at a loss. Could it be that this young man, who looked young, had better medical skills than the veteran doctors?
Especially Concubine Jing, who was a female doctor, was even more curious because she could see that the Empress Dowager was in a bad condition.
She was interested in Zhou Chen's medical skills because Zhou Chen came from Langya Pavilion, the most mysterious force in the world.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 853 Grandma, the Painful Mei Changsu
In front of Emperor Liang and everyone in the hall, Zhou Chen took the pulse this time with extreme care and attention.
After a long time, he finally let go and gently put the Empress Dowager's hand back.
Emperor Liang couldn't wait to ask, "How is the Empress Dowager's health? Can she be cured?"
