The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 157 Miaoyun is pregnant? Zhu Ju is going to be a father?! Ma Xiuying is so excited that she

Chapter 157 Miaoyun is pregnant? Zhu Ju is going to be a father?! Ma Xiuying is so excited that she goes to call Chongba!

Zhu Ju was stunned.

"what?"

"What?"

He was a little confused.

"That's the one……"

Xu Miaoyun looked behind him, lowered his head, and said in a mosquito-like voice,

"My period...it doesn't seem to have come this month."

Zhu Ju let out an "oh".

A few seconds later…

"what?!"

He finally reacted and said in astonishment,

"You didn't have your period? What do you mean?"

"This... this is impossible! I have already calculated my life!"

What Xu Miaoyun means... is she pregnant?
Wow?

He is going to be a father? The eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty will be a descendant of the Wu King?!

This is fucking outrageous!

Although he had lived in two lives and was over thirty years old in total, in the Ming Dynasty, he was still just a teenager!
Xu Miaoyun is just a girl one year older than him.

Although people got married and had children relatively early in ancient times, especially among the royal family, many of them became pregnant in their teens...but he is not married yet!

Pregnant out of wedlock?

At this moment, Zhu Ju's head was buzzing.

To be honest, he doesn't want to be a father yet! He doesn't even know how to live his life!

"Who knows how you calculated it..."

Xu Miaoyun said with some complaints,
"My period has always been very regular since I started having it, but this time it was delayed for five days! I was panicking!"

"My personal maid even asked me why I didn't have to prepare cloth this month. I... I didn't know what to tell her!"

Although there were no sanitary napkins, as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, there was naturally someone to take care of her, and the best fabrics were used.

But the bad thing is that she has someone serving her... Her personal maid knows her menstrual cycle very well, so any problem will be noticed quickly.

She had no other choice but to rely on the token bestowed by the Queen to enter the palace to discuss matters with Zhu Ju.

Right now, she couldn't mention this to anyone except Zhu Ju!

If the news of a girl getting pregnant before marriage were to get out, the Xu family would be disgraced!

Zhu Ju: “…”

Even though Zhu Ju has always been clever and clever, he was a little at a loss at this moment.

Between the two of us, you stared at me and I stared at you, and we fell into silence.

The more silent Zhu Ju was, the depressed Xu Miaoyun became. Suddenly, she stood up and touched her belly.

"I'm sorry to trouble you..."

Xu Miaoyun said softly,

"I'll go back and figure it out myself... No matter what, he can't come into this world. This time is not right."

"I...will go back first."

After that, she turned around and left.

"Eh!"

Zhu Ju quickly stood up and grabbed Xu Miaoyun's arm, saying,

"Don't go! Let's discuss this further!"

"I am primarily responsible for this! I was greedy for temporary enjoyment and caused the accident, putting you in a dilemma. I will reflect on it, I reflect deeply!"

"Sit down first... Let's discuss this carefully. There is no difficulty in the world that cannot be overcome!"

Hearing that Zhu Ju was willing to take responsibility, Xu Miaoyun's expression softened. She sat back in her chair and stared at her future husband.

A person's character is revealed when he encounters trouble.

Although she was a little disappointed just now, Zhu Ju's subsequent reaction still made her feel satisfied.

At least this is a man who is willing to take responsibility, rather than a coward who takes pleasure in her and escapes and dares not take responsibility when something goes wrong.

"Five days, five days..."

"It's not long, but it's not short either. But we can't find a doctor to confirm it right now. Once we find a doctor, we'll be completely exposed! We can't find a doctor."

"I think we should disguise ourselves and go out to find a doctor."

Zhu Ju muttered to himself.

After he calmed down, he came up with an idea.

Once the imperial physician in the palace finds him, it will be the end! Then the whole world will know about it!

So he could only visit a doctor outside the palace in disguise, and he had to be a relatively remote one who wouldn't have contact with high-ranking officials... That was the only way.

"Well, you're right."

Xu Miaoyun nodded and said,

"I thought so too, but my mother has a rule that I can't go out alone. Someone must wait on me."

"My personal maid and carriage are waiting outside the palace. It's difficult for me to get away."

Being a young lady is good, as there are people serving you wherever you go, but at the same time, it is also a constraint.

It's really a headache to encounter this kind of situation.

"Well, that's easy. I'll take you out of the palace from another door later. But we have to go early and come back early, so we can't stay outside for too long."

Zhu Ju said in a deep voice,
"Anyway, there are two possibilities. One is that you are not pregnant, but your period is just delayed. In that case, everyone will be happy. I will be more careful in the future and won't mess around again."

"But if she gets pregnant, the situation will be complicated."

As he spoke, he already frowned.

"It's not that complicated. I heard that in the early stages of pregnancy, you can take medicine to kill the fetus."

Xu Miaoyun stroked her belly and whispered,
"If I'm really pregnant, I'll just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine..."

There was a hint of hesitation and loneliness in her tone.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun actually put herself into the role of a mother! She felt love and pity for the little life in her belly, and was completely reluctant to kill him with the drug!

But in the current situation, I have to...

"That won't work! Let's not talk about the child first. That drug will cause great harm to you!"

Zhu Ju said righteously,

"If you don't do it right, after a medical abortion, you may never get pregnant again for the rest of your life!"

"I can't let you get hurt! After all, all the mistakes are my fault, a stinky man. How can I let a good woman like you pay for it?"

Hearing these words, Xu Miaoyun felt warm in her heart.

These words can always give a woman the greatest sense of security!
"If you really get pregnant, you have to keep the child."

Zhu Ju pondered for a moment before he said with emotion,

"I never thought that I, Zhu Ju, would have descendants. This is a precious descendant, and it is extremely valuable to both me and the Ming Dynasty!"

"Miaoyun, do you know what it means if you are really pregnant?"

Xu Miaoyun was a little confused and shook her head.

"This means that the eldest grandson of the Ming Dynasty will be born in ten months!"

Zhu Ju said seriously,
"My father and mother have always been looking forward to having a grandson, especially my mother. She is so eager to have a grandson! Seeing that Crown Princess Chang's belly is not moving, she even urged me! I am helpless about this matter!"

"Although my father doesn't say it, he actually wants to have a grandson. And not just a grandson, but the third generation of the Ming Dynasty! Our royal family is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people may also value the continuation of offspring, but not as much as our royal family does!"

"Because there really is a throne to inherit in our family!"

Xu Miaoyun's brows relaxed.

"what do you mean……"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"For Dad and Mom, as long as they can hold their grandson, no matter how this grandson came from, they will definitely be ecstatic and will definitely not think it is a shameful thing! This is a great joy for our Zhu family!"

He said,

"So, if they knew, especially the Queen Mother...she would definitely be happy!"

"So, if I'm really pregnant, I have to find a time to confess to my mother. Once she knows, she will naturally help us find a solution! As long as she is around, we won't have any setbacks!"

These words of comfort can be said to have touched Xu Miaoyun's heart.

When she came, what she was most worried about was not her parents. After all, her father Xu Da doted on her very much. If her mother knew about this, she might be angry or even scold her, but after she calmed down, she would still want her as her daughter and would not abandon her.

What she feared was that His Majesty and the Queen would dislike her, dislike her for being shameless, and dislike her for seducing the King of Wu to taste the forbidden fruit!
After hearing what Zhu Ju said, Xu Miaoyun's mood suddenly improved and a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't expect to become the apple of the royal family's eye. That was unrealistic...

As long as I am not disliked, I will be satisfied.

"Jianqi!"

Zhu Ju suddenly shouted.

After a moment, the door was pushed open with a creak.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Jianqi poked his head in and bowed slightly to Xu Miaoyun.

"Please prepare a set of common people's coarse clothes for me, and prepare another set for Miss Xu."

Zhu Ju ordered.

Jianqi was slightly stunned.

"Coarse clothes?"

"I don't think we have this kind of thing at home. If you want silk and satin, I'll give you enough."

Zhu Ju rolled his eyes.

"I don't want silk or satin, I just want coarse linen!"

He ordered,

"Get it for me! Don't you go home once in a while? Don't you have to wear casual clothes when you go home?"

"You have a similar figure to Miaoyun, so just give her one of your casual clothes! As for me... you can go ask the eunuch to borrow a set for me!"

"Go!"

Jianqi glanced at Xu Miaoyun and smiled.

"Miss Xu's figure is much slimmer than mine..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran out.

"This girl..."

Zhu Ju spat,

"You are becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. You even dare to make up stories about the mistress of the house!"

"It seems I have to teach her a lesson next time to make her remember it!"

Xu Miaoyun laughed when she heard that.

“I think she’s doing pretty well.”

she said,

"The people in your Wuwang's office all give me an optimistic and cheerful look, unlike some places where the servants are trembling with fear."

"In fact, I don't care that much about hierarchy. On the contrary, I will open up to my close servants. At critical moments, they may be the ones I can really rely on."

Zhu Ju nodded slightly.

That's true.

He has the soul of a modern man. Although he likes to enjoy the pleasure of being a superior, he does not have much malice towards the slaves who serve as subordinates.

To be precise, Zhu Ju treated the slaves as waiters, enjoyed their service, was polite to them, and would not bully them.

……

Inside Kunning Palace.

"Has the brat returned to the palace?"

Ma Xiuying, wearing a tiger-head hat, lowered her head and asked casually.

"Yes, ma'am."

Cuizhu responded,
"Your Highness returned to the palace this morning and is now in the residence of King Wu."

The needle and thread in Ma Xiuying's hand loosened slightly.

"It's already noon. I haven't seen you for half a month. You didn't even come to my place to have a meal or say hello."

She hummed softly,

"You stinky boy, I don't know how dark you are. I heard from Chongba that their life in the barracks is very hard. They have to drill soldiers every day."

"Send someone to call him and ask him to come to my place for lunch."

After not seeing her son for half a month, Ma Xiuying misses her son.

Cuizhu nodded and quickly gave the order.

As a personal maid, she usually didn't need to convey the message in person. She just needed to hand it over to the servants and attendants below.

"My lady, you have such a skillful hand."

Cuizhu looked at the soft hat in Ma Xiuying's hand and said softly,

"This tiger-head hat is so beautiful, can I touch it?"

Ma Xiuying put down her needle and thread and handed the hat to Cuizhu.

"This is made of real tiger skin! It's naturally beautiful, and not only beautiful, but also very warm. A little kid wearing a hat like this in winter will be protected from wind and snow!"

She smiled and sighed softly,

"It's just a pity... after making a tiger-head hat like this, there is no doll to wear it."

"Do you think I should issue an imperial decree to Chang girl to go to a temple or Taoist temple to pray for a child?"

"It's not a big deal if she's always quiet like this! I got pregnant just a few months after Chongba and I got married!"

Cuizhu fiddled with the tiger-head hat in her hand and did not respond.

The Crown Princess is of noble status. How can a servant like her comment on her at will?

This hat made of real tiger skin is really great. It gives you a warm feeling when you touch it and it feels great.

This hat, which was sewn by the Empress herself, will probably only be worn by the future eldest grandson of the Emperor.

"Alas! We can't just blame Chang Yatou. Maybe Chang Yatou has no problem, but Biao'er has."

Ma Xiuying lamented to herself,

"Biao'er's health hasn't fully recovered yet, and he's focused on government affairs. It's still difficult to get him to have a baby."

"Forget it, forget it. I'm too lazy to make these tiger-head hats and shoes! No one will wear them, so what's the point of making them?"

She got angry, threw away the needle and thread in her hand, stood up and walked into the house.

Being a queen is actually quite boring. Her abilities are so strong that she can easily manage the entire harem and make it obedient. No concubine dares to act like a demon.

Invincible, but also lonely!
When an elderly woman feels lonely, she will crazily want to have a grandchild! Then she can focus all her energy on the third generation!

At this moment, a voice was heard.

"Reporting to the Queen, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu is not at the Prince of Wu's residence. He just left the palace."

The attendant reported respectfully,

"Young Miss Xu is also leaving the palace."

Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I thought so. It turns out that my little wife is here. No wonder she didn't come to greet me."

She chuckled and said,

"Forgetting your mother when you have a wife... that's good too! A man should love his wife!"

"Where did they both go?"

The attendant shook his head.

"My lady, I don't know. I only know that they did not go through the main gate, but through Tongji Gate."

He reported it truthfully.

Ma Xiuying looked slightly confused when she heard this.

"Tongji Gate? Why not go through the side gate instead of the main gate?"

Because of the trouble Zhu Ju caused when he left the palace last time, she was a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she gave the order.
"You can arrange a few people to follow them and protect them from a distance."

"As long as they don't cause any trouble, just let them wander around."

Cuizhu nodded.

"The slaves obey."

……

afternoon.

Yingtianfu, on a not very busy street.

Slurp, slurp.

Zhu Ju slurped his noodles and observed the surrounding environment.

Bang Chi Bang Chi...

“This noodle is really delicious.”

Xu Miaoyun slurped the noodles carefully and soon the bowl was empty.

She rubbed her belly and said a little embarrassedly:
"Your Highness, can I have another bowl?"

Zhu Ju: “…”

Is this girl really pregnant? She can eat so much?!

"Waiter, another bowl of noodles!"

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

After a while, a bowl of hot bamboo shoot noodles was placed in front of Xu Miaoyun. She didn't hesitate and picked up the bowl and started slurping it again.

In fact, it’s not that the noodles are so delicious, but mainly because she is a young lady who never goes out of the house and rarely has the opportunity to eat snacks like this outside.

When you eat it for the first time, you will naturally feel that it is novel and delicious.

"Waiter, I have a question for you."

Zhu Ju suddenly called out,
"Is there any good doctor around here?"

"It would be best if... someone could treat women."

The waiter was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he looked at Xu Miaoyun who was eating noodles, and suddenly he understood.

"Oh—a doctor who specializes in treating women."

He smiled and said,
"Yes, yes, sir, please walk straight ahead until you reach the end and turn left. That is a back street with a Mingyue Clinic. The doctor there... specializes in treating women, and there are quite a few people who come to see him!"

Zhu Ju nodded and slapped six copper coins on the table.

"It's good to have it."

"go!"

He didn't waste any words, just grabbed Xu Miaoyun and walked out.

"Hey hey...I haven't finished eating yet!"

Xu Miaoyun was slurping noodles as Zhu Ju pulled her along, looking a little reluctant.

There is still half a bowl left! The bamboo shoots are so fresh!
"I'm so unsure that I can't eat anything. Wait until the results come out. If it's safe, you can eat as many bowls as you want!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

……

The back streets are sparsely populated.

The four characters "Ming Yue Clinic" were on a small archway. He looked it up and down several times before he spotted it.

A cramped little clinic - this was Zhu Ju's first impression.

"Is this reliable..."

Zhu Ju touched his chin, hesitating a little.

As they were hesitating, there was suddenly a strong fragrance, and a woman dressed in fancy clothes walked past the two of them and walked into the clinic with her waist swaying.

“It smells terrible…”

Xu Miaoyun covered her mouth and nose, looking a little disgusted.

The smell of this inferior incense powder is strong and pungent, making people's mouth and nose uncomfortable.

"I'm afraid this is a prostitute... How can an ordinary decent woman be like this?"

Zhu Ju raised his eyes and looked upward, his face darkening.

No wonder it feels familiar! This is actually the back street of a brothel!
But on second thought... it does make sense to open a clinic that specializes in treating women's diseases here. After all, women in brothels... often suffer from gynecological diseases.

"walk into."

Zhu Ju took Xu Miaoyun's hand and walked into the clinic.

As soon as I entered the clinic, I smelled a strong smell of Chinese medicine, which mixed with the smell of cheap perfume made me feel nauseous!

"Doctor Fan, I'm here again..."

"I've finished the medicine you gave me last time. I feel itchy all over my body now... Can you give me some more?"

The woman who had just entered the room had already crossed the screen and stood next to the doctor. She spoke in a coquettish voice and was almost sticking to the doctor.

"no problem."

Doctor Fan was a bit fat and bald. He looked at the woman's flirting and was unmoved. He said,
"I'll add some more medicine this time and make it into pills. This way it'll be convenient for you to take it in the morning and evening, saving you the trouble of boiling the medicine."

The woman giggled and put one hand on Dr. Fan's shoulder.

"Oh, Doctor Fan, you are so nice~" "I don't have many customers today, how about... you come over to my place and have a seat?"

She had already attracted the doctor's attention by demonstrating her professionalism, and Xu Miaoyun frowned when she heard it.

"Why is this woman like this..."

"How disgusting! How shameless..."

Xu Miaoyun whispered.

Zhu Ju laughed.

If the girls in brothels had any sense of shame, could they still be called brothel girls?
"Maybe some other time. I have a lot of medicine to take care of lately."

Doctor Fan said seriously,
"If you want to make your medicine into pills this time, it will be a little more expensive."

"Three taels of silver, please pay."

The woman became unhappy when she heard this.

"Doctor Fan, we have become friends over the years, right? You raise the price every time I come... That's a bit unfair of you."

"How about this, I'll accompany you for one night and you'll give me half of the money, okay?"

She launched another attack, trying to put her legs on the doctor's legs, but ended up with nothing.

"Lihong, you know my rules. I never bargain here."

Doctor Fan snorted coldly.

"It's just three taels of silver, not a penny less."

"You either pay the money or leave and get treatment somewhere else."

Seeing that he was ruthless and impartial, the woman felt bored.

Wow!

She threw a silver coin on the table, pouted, and turned away.

"Come and get the medicine in seven days."

Doctor Fan spoke.

"understood!"

The woman waved her hand and muttered,

"You stinky man! You're really obsessed with money!"

"I have such a hard life. I only earned a few bucks by accompanying men, but I ended up getting sick and had to pay for treatment out of my own pocket. The money I earned from selling my body went to the stinky men!"

"What a world!"

Zhu Ju found it a little funny listening to these lewd words.

But Xu Miaoyun just sighed softly.

"Whose fault is it that we have fallen to this point?"

As a woman, she did not look down on the other person because of her identity as a prostitute or her words and deeds.

I just think that such a woman... is so sad.

"There are personal reasons, but also the influence of the environment. As the saying goes, once you are in the world, you have no choice."

Zhu Ju responded,
"Okay, forget about her, business is more important."

"I'll accompany you in."

As he said that, he took Xu Miaoyun's hand and walked to the doctor.

"What's wrong with you?"

Doctor Fan was still writing a medical record, so he didn't even raise his head.

"Doctor, my wife hasn't had her period this month. Can you help me see what's going on with her?"

Zhu Ju didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Anyway, they had changed into coarse linen clothes when they came here, and no one knew them here, so they could be more casual.

"Uh-huh?"

Doctor Fan put down the pen in his hand, looked up, and was a little surprised.

"How old are you two?"

"They don't look like a couple! Is this your child bride?"

Zhu Ju: “…”

"Just treat the disease! Don't ask other questions!"

He said somewhat unhappily.

Xu Miaoyun also pursed her lips, looking a little unnatural.

Although they met by chance and didn't know each other, she was still a little embarrassed to be mistaken for a child bride...

"Okay, please take a seat."

Doctor Fan didn't waste any words and nodded.

"Put your hand out and I'll feel your pulse."

While speaking, he glanced at Zhu Ju and Xu Miaoyun out of the corner of his eye, then suddenly smiled and shook his head.

Xu Miaoyun caught his expression and was a little confused, but she still stretched out her hand obediently.

Ta-ta, tap-ta.

Doctor Fan took the patient's pulse with his left hand and tapped the table lightly with his right hand.

After a while.

"I'm really pregnant, but it's a bit slippery. There's a risk of slipping the tire!"

He raised his head and said,

"Do you want to keep this fetus or not?"

Swish!

Xu Miaoyun’s face turned pale!
Zhu Ju widened his eyes even more!
No way!
Really got infected?
Wow! I'm really going to be a father now!

When the young couple heard this, they were both a little confused and speechless for a moment!

"If it doesn't work, just take some abortion pills and abort the fetus."

Doctor Fan saw that the two were silent, so he introduced them to each other and said,

"It's just that the subsequent recovery is more troublesome. After taking the abortion medicine, you need to recuperate for a long time before your body recovers. You can't do without nourishing foods like ginseng and bird's nest. I have a set of ginseng paste recipes here. It can be taken for three months and only costs thirty taels of silver."

"Usually, if you eat it for a year or two, it will be enough."

Zhu Ju took a deep breath and managed to calm his excited heart and trembling hands.

calm down!
When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. There is no obstacle in the world that cannot be overcome!

It can be solved, anything can be solved...

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun had already tightly grasped his hand, and Zhu Ju also held her hand in his backhand, giving his wife enough sense of security.

"Of course... I won't have an abortion! I finally got pregnant, how can I..."

Zhu Ju said in a deep voice,
"You just said that the fetus is in danger?"

Doctor Fan nodded firmly.

"That's right! And it's quite dangerous! If you have a miscarriage, it's easier, but it's hard to keep it!"

He said,

"This lady's constitution is hot, but it is also cold! In other words, she is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and the fetus in her body is actually feeling cold, not hot!"

"At this time, if you replenish the warmth, the body will become dry on the outside; if you don't replenish it, the body will become cold on the inside. Both of these conditions may cause the fetus to die in the womb at any time!"

Xu Miaoyun: "!!!"

It was the first time she knew that her physique was so weird? !

Hot outside... cold inside?!

What’s even more frightening is that this kind of physical condition will have a great impact on the baby in the belly, putting this poor little life in danger!

This is something Xu Miaoyun absolutely cannot accept!

If she was just simulating being a mother before, then after Dr. Fan told her that she was pregnant, she had completely assumed the role of a mother, and her maternal love suddenly surged!

She would never allow anything to happen to her child!

"Doctor, what should we do?"

Zhu Ju was a little anxious at this moment, and said repeatedly,

"Can you keep it?"

Doctor Fan stroked his beard.

"Of course there is a way, but... it's quite expensive."

He said,

"This lady wants to keep the fetus stable, so she has to take a balanced tonic, raising the yang while nourishing the yin, and nourishing the blood. The best things to nourish the blood are rare herbs like donkey-hide gelatin, snow lotus, and cordyceps. If you want a significant effect, you have to find wild, old herbs! This makes it several levels more expensive all of a sudden."

After a pause, he added:
"I happen to have a secret recipe here. I'm not exaggerating. Even the imperial doctors in the palace may not have such a recipe! In the past, my father and grandfather relied on this recipe to save the baby. No matter how difficult it is to save the baby, this medicine will definitely save it!"

Zhu Ju nodded.

"Just tell me how much you want!"

Accustomed to the incompetence of the palace doctors, he thought it would be okay to try the local doctor's prescription.

After all, he has money!
No matter how valuable it is, how valuable can it be?
"Haha... If I abort your baby, I will definitely charge you more because that is a bad thing. But preserving the baby is a good thing, so I won't charge you for the consultation fee."

Doctor Fan stroked his beard and smiled.
"I'll just charge you the cost! I'll calculate the cost of the medicinal materials..."

pat!pat!
He took out his abacus and started to calculate.

Zhu Ju looked at Xu Miaoyun and gently patted the back of her hand.

"It's okay, I'm here."

he whispered.

Xu Miaoyun hummed, looked down at her lower abdomen, and subconsciously rubbed it twice.

She seemed to be able to really feel that there was a little life beating inside...

"I seem to have sensed him, he seems to be saying hello to me..."

Xu Miaoyun said.

Zhu Ju raised his eyebrows.

"Really?"

"I'll touch..."

His hand was also placed on Xu Miaoyun's lower abdomen.

"Do you feel anything?"

"It seems... a little."

"Do you think he is a boy or a girl?"

"I think it's a boy..."

"..."

The two of them chatted with each other, as if they could feel the rhythm of life in their lower abdomen.

The more we talk, the more confident we become!

Swish!

"All right!"

"The total is three hundred and fifty-two taels of silver, for three prescriptions! They are all good medicines!"

"This prescription has almost emptied my stock of rare medicinal materials! You two are lucky. You may not be able to get such a complete set of medicines elsewhere, even in the palace!"

Doctor Fan handed over the prescription and said with a smile,
"Please check it. If everything is ok, I will go get you some medicine?"

Even though Zhu Ju was wealthy, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words "three hundred and fifty-two taels".

This medicine... is so expensive?!
You have to know that a soldier’s monthly salary is only one or two taels of silver!

The money in this prescription is enough for him to pay monthly salaries to more than 300 soldiers!

"If you don't have enough money, it doesn't matter. You can just use the same prescription with a less vintage one."

Doctor Fan said,

"The years are all halved, only one hundred and twenty-eight taels are needed."

Zhu Ju waved his hand.

"It's okay. Just pick the best one."

He said,

"However, I don't have that much money on me right now, only one hundred taels."

"Why don't you give me one first, and I'll go back and boil it, and then come back to get the remaining two?"

One hundred taels, I thought it was a huge sum of money.

As a result, I could only pay a down payment!

But think about it... after all, it is a precious medicinal material, so it is normal that it is a bit expensive.

"can."

Doctor Fan said cheerfully,
"There is no time to lose. Go back and boil the medicine. Drink it while it's hot. Don't hesitate. After all, the risk is very high now. You may slip at any time! If you are unlucky, you may even slip halfway!"

"After drinking, take a good rest, be careful not to overwork, and don't touch raw or cold food."

He gave a series of patient instructions, and Zhu Ju and Xu Miaoyun both nodded repeatedly.

To be honest, Zhu Ju has never been as well behaved as he is now...

There was no way, having a baby was a major event in life! And he was completely new to this, with no experience at all!

After a while.

Swish.

"Here, take it. I have written down how to make the medicine, how to drink it, and how many times a day to drink it."

Doctor Fan pushed the medicine bag in front of Zhu Ju and instructed,

"You must follow my instructions strictly and don't make any mistakes! Otherwise, I will not be responsible if something goes wrong!"

Zhu Ju took the prescription and nodded after seeing the densely packed precautions on it.

"Have a heart."

He said,

"I'll have someone send the money over later. If there are any problems, I'll contact you as soon as possible."

"Farewell."

After saying that, Zhu Ju led Xu Miaoyun out of the clinic.

After hearing what the doctor said, he became a little nervous and thought that the right thing to do was to go back and boil medicine to protect the fetus!

Da da da.

The two men walked out of the clinic, and Dr. Fan, who had a serious expression, suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and then raised them again.

"I'm not mistaken. This must be some young boy or girl who is inexperienced in the world and has plenty of money!"

He hummed a little tune and laughed.
"With this payment, I don't have to work this year!"

"More than three hundred taels! Tsk tsk... It's enough for me to live comfortably for a few years! I'll see if I can get some more from them later..."

In his eyes, Zhu Ju and Xu Miaoyun were just two young fat sheep who had not experienced much of the world!
How could one bite of such a fat little sheep be enough? He had already left the condom and thought of the follow-up words... just waiting for these two to come again!
At this moment, two people stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

"Who is this? What's wrong with you?"

"say!"

Doctor Fan was in a good mood at the moment. He was fiddling with the tables, chairs and benches, and said without raising his head.

"What did those two people do in your clinic just now?"

The visitor asked in a deep voice.

Doctor Fan raised his head slightly and saw that it was two men, and he couldn't help but curl his lips.

"I'm sorry, as a doctor I have to protect the privacy of my patients. I can't comment."

"you……"

boom!
A long knife was thrown on the table, and Dr. Fan was so scared that he almost jumped up!
"Say!"

The man who swung the knife said coldly,
"Otherwise, watch out for your head!"

Doctor Fan: “!!!”

"He, he, he... they wrote me a prescription for a stable pregnancy, gave me a pill... and then, they left!"

“Nothing else was done!”

He said tremblingly.

Oh my god! Why did you resort to knife?
He was originally happy, but suddenly became panic-stricken.

"Having a miscarriage?"

The man who swung the knife looked startled and turned to look at the other person.

"This is a serious matter, we must hurry back and report!"

"That's right!"

The two men obtained the key information and had no time to argue with Doctor Fan. They retracted their swords and turned away quickly.

Only Doctor Fan was left sitting in his seat, still in shock.

It took him a while to react. He crawled to open the cabinet on the bottom floor and packed up his valuables!

"Something's wrong, nine out of ten is wrong!"

"I have to go out and hide from the limelight first. One hundred taels... plus what I earned before, it's enough for me to live a carefree life for a while!"

"..."

On the streets of Yingtianfu.

Zhu Ju held the medicine bag in his left hand, held Xu Miaoyun's hand with his right hand, and walked towards the direction of the palace.

A gust of cold wind blew, causing Xu Miaoyun to tighten her clothes, especially wrapping her lower abdomen inside, for fear that it would catch a cold.

Zhu Ju also quickly protected Xu Miaoyun behind him to shield her from the cold wind.

"The weather is getting colder, and it will be winter and the New Year soon..."

He whispered,

"You must pay close attention and remember the doctor's instructions!"

"Let's go back and boil the medicine first. What he said is really scary. There is a risk of miscarriage at any time!"

Xu Miaoyun nodded and snuggled into Zhu Ju's arms.

The two of them leaned on each other and walked towards the palace. Their attention was now on Xu Miaoyun's belly and they didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes watching them in secret.

……

Kunning Palace.

"Mingyue Clinic?"

Ma Xiuying stood up and said in surprise,

"You mean, they went to see a doctor? What disease did they see? Who was sick?"

"Isn't there an imperial physician in the palace?"

The guard was a little hesitant after being asked this question, and whispered:
"Your Majesty the Queen..."

"I later asked the doctor about this, but what he said... I dare not speak nonsense."

Hearing this, Ma Xiuying was even more surprised.

"It's just an illness, which is normal... Maybe Xiaojuzi felt that the imperial physician in the palace was unreliable, so she went to find a doctor outside."

She kept saying,

"It should be Miaoyun who is sick, right? This brat is really something. Although the imperial physician in the palace is unreliable, isn't his master Peng Xuan also active in Yingtian? Wouldn't it be better to find his master?"

"Tell me first what's wrong with her."

The guard looked around and seemed to be having trouble speaking.

"Hey...you're still keeping me in suspense."

"All of you, step back."

Ma Xiuying stood with her hands behind her back, gave an order, dismissed the attendants, and then said,
"Can we talk now?"

The guard was urged by this and stepped forward and whispered:
"Reporting to Her Majesty, the medicine prescribed by His Highness and Miss Xu at the Mingyue Clinic is... a pregnancy-preserving medicine."

Ma Xiuying: “???”

"What?"

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly...what medicine?"

She was a little confused and began to doubt her ears.

"My lady, it's a pregnancy-preserving medicine."

"It seems that Miss Xu needs..."

Ma Xiuying: “!!!”

In an instant, the Ruyi she was playing with fell to the ground. She was stunned and stood there in a daze!

"Miss?"

"My queen? What's wrong with you, my queen?"

Seeing this, the guards became anxious and shouted repeatedly.

"To protect the pregnancy? To protect the pregnancy... the pregnancy!"
