Chapter 508 Aroma
Lipin's face turned pale. She never thought that the excuse she used to deal with Shen Shuyi would actually come true.
There was still a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and the spoiled concubine, who was so arrogant because of her favor, was immediately panicked.
"Your Majesty, my child... please save my child..."
Concubine Li held Emperor Qianwu's hand tightly, her beautiful face covered with sweat.
"I will write a prescription for Your Majesty right away!" The imperial physician had a heavy face. He took out two pills and asked Concubine Li to take them, then pretended to write the prescription.
Shen Shuyi stood aside and looked at the imperial physician and said, "It's too late."
Emperor Qianwu and Lipin both looked at Shen Shuyi. Lipin's eyes were full of water and she said with a bit of cruelty: "What does the county lady mean by this!"
Shen Shuyi stepped forward, held her wrist, and checked her pulse: "The fetus is unstable, and there is a possibility of miscarriage at any time. It will be too late to wait until the medicine is ready."
As she was talking, Lipin's stomach hurt more and more.
Lipin was about to say something when she saw Shen Shuyi looking at the imperial physician: "Do you have any silver needles?"
The imperial physician frowned and said, "Yes, but does the county lady understand medical knowledge? You should know that a woman is pregnant and it is not suitable for acupuncture. If you are not careful, it is very likely that one person will die and two people will die."
Hearing this, Lipin's eyes were dull.
Obviously she was shocked by this sudden change. Her eyes were red and her throat was tight: "Your Majesty..."
Shen Shuyi looked directly at the imperial physician: "But by the time you come back with the prescription and medicine, the heir... may no longer be here. The best way right now is to use acupuncture to stabilize the fetus and delay the time, and then use decoctions to supplement it."
"This is indeed the best way, but acupuncture has risks..." The imperial physician stroked his gray beard, obviously still hesitating.
“But waiting will be more risky.”
After Shen Shuyi finished speaking, he looked at Emperor Qianwu who was standing beside him: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Qianwu had a stern face and deep eyes, looking directly at Shen Shuyi: "Are you sure?"
"I am only 70% sure."
"My Lady, you'd better not exaggerate!" Lipin's stomachache became more severe. After a moment, her face turned paler. But when she spoke, she was still arrogant.
Shen Shuyi looked calm and said, "In this case, Your Majesty, you should follow the imperial physician's prescription. I believe that the dragon fetus in your belly will be blessed by heaven and will be safe and sound."
When Shen Shuyi said this, Concubine Li became a little panicked.
Emperor Qianwu frowned, looked at the imperial physician, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead. This matter concerned the royal heir, and he had been somewhat confident. But now that Princess Changning had said this, how could he dare to guarantee anything?
After all, if anything happened to this prince and grandson of the emperor, he would not be able to take the responsibility.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is in critical condition, and the method the county lord suggested is indeed safer." The imperial physician lowered his head and spoke, thinking that if he did as Shen Shuyi said, at least if something really went wrong, he would not be blamed entirely.
At that moment, Emperor Qianwu looked at Shen Shuyi and said, "You come and give me the acupuncture."
Shen Shuyi looked at Lipin and said again: "But Madam Lipin doesn't seem to trust me. Acupuncture is risky. I..."
Emperor Qianwu frowned and said, "If there is any problem, I will forgive you."
Upon hearing this, Lipin's face turned even paler. She never thought that one day her life would be in Shen Shuyi's hands.
"Your Majesty, I am my concubine..."
Emperor Qianwu turned to look at her and said in a cold voice: "You should know what is the best choice."
Lipin was too embarrassed to say anything for a moment. The severe pain in her stomach from time to time made her even more uneasy.
"Give me acupuncture." Emperor Qianwu said coldly.
"Yes."
After Shen Shuyi responded, he looked at Lipin meaningfully.
Lipin's throat tightened, her heart beat rapidly, and she felt uneasy and panicked.
Then the imperial physician saw Shen Shuyi select Zhongwan, Zusanli, Pishu, Shenshu, Neiguan, Quchi, Taichong, Geshu, Taixi, and Fuliu acupoints and apply acupuncture in turn.
Seeing her skillful movements, Doctor Han breathed a sigh of relief.
Some acupuncture points are not suitable for imperial physicians, but are more suitable for the county lady to do so.
However, the effect is still unclear...
"I will first guide the blood downward to relieve the restless fetus. After the fetus is stable, the imperial physician will prescribe medicine."
Although Concubine Li was uneasy, she gradually felt relieved as she thought that Shen Shuyi would not dare to do anything in front of the emperor.
Not long after, the imperial physician sent over some medicine, and Concubine Li drank it all in one gulp while in labor pain.
Later, the pain in her stomach seemed to ease, and Lipin felt relieved and stared at the imperial physician who was taking her pulse.
"The Queen's pulse is fine for now, and the dragon fetus' pulse is strong and healthy, and has gradually returned to normal, but it still needs to rest and observe..."
Concubine Li breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had fainted, and leaned in Emperor Qianwu's arms, tears in her eyes.
"Your Majesty, who on earth wants to harm me..." Concubine Li choked up and spoke. She never thought that she would actually have a miscarriage.
Emperor Qianwu looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "I will send Concubine Rou to investigate this matter. Doctor Han, have you found anything?"
Doctor Han frowned and said, "I think that Concubine Li's symptoms are somewhat similar to those of poisoning... But fortunately, it was discovered early, and the poisoning was not serious, so it is not a big deal."
"Poisoned?" Lipin couldn't believe it.
"Has anything happened to you these days?" asked Emperor Qianwu.
Lipin thought carefully for a moment, her eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and she said carefully: "Except for the fact that I met the Princess Changning today and was bumped by her servant, there is nothing different from the past..."
Without Shen Shuyi saying anything, Emperor Qianwu said, "The Princess of Changning County has no interest in you, so why would she harm you? Besides, if she wanted to harm you, why would she give you acupuncture?"
Obviously, Emperor Qianwu thought that Concubine Li was acting recklessly at all times.
Shen Shuyi lowered his eyes, with a hint of grievance in his voice.
"I don't know how I have offended Your Majesty, and you are still upset. If you are still unhappy, I am willing to apologize to you. Please don't implicate my maidservant..."
Regardless of whether Concubine Li was smart or not, she was able to gain the emperor's favor. At least she was well versed in the emperor's mind and her ability to read people's expressions was perfect.
Seeing that Emperor Qianwu was unhappy, Concubine Li's heart tightened.
Yes, now that Shen Shuyi saved her life, how could she keep staring at a maid? This is too petty!
Lipin said weakly: "County Lady, that's not right. I can't thank you enough, so how can I blame you? It's just that apart from meeting Sister Roufei, the only person I came into contact with today was the County Lady. I really don't know how this poison..."
Lipin's meaning became clear when she was halfway through her words.
Then, she changed the subject and looked at Shen Shuyi, saying again: "Besides, there is one thing I don't understand. The county lady hadn't checked my pulse yet, so how could she know my condition?"
Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu also looked at Shen Shuyi, with a hint of scrutiny in his sharp eyes.
Shen Shuyi was neither humble nor arrogant, and her expression was calm: "Because I smelled a faint fragrance in your room today."
