Chapter 419 Pulse
Chapter 419 Pulse
"Envoy Liu, how is Concubine Yu's pulse?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu's pulse..." Liu Ruogu, the director of the Imperial Hospital, hesitated for a moment, "It looks like it!"
"Like what?"
"The pulses in the three parts, Cun, Guan and Chi, are weak when raised, hollow when pressed, and the pulse position is heavy... It really looks like the pulse of a woman after miscarriage." Liu Ruogu said while pulling his goatee.
"I heard from the palace maids around Concubine Yu that today is the third day of her menstrual period, and the amount of blood is relatively large. The pulse should be smooth, slightly strong, and slightly weak."
"What do you mean? I don't study medicine." Concubine Yu Yu Sheyue was half lying on the couch, hugging Qin Zhi's waist. Her lips were pale and she was exhausted. She lay listlessly on Qin Zhi's chest and said impatiently.
"If it is menstruation, the pulse is strong but weak when pressed hard, while the pulse of miscarriage is thin, astringent, and weak, and it is weak whether it is pressed lightly or hard. Your pulse is more like miscarriage, but..."
"But what?" Shen Ningyue stood beside Qin Zhi and looked at Liu Ruogu.
"A single piece of evidence is not enough. I cannot easily determine whether it is a miscarriage just by looking at the pulse at this moment." Liu Ruogu sighed and rolled his eyes at Doctor Li in his heart.
The pulse records that he had stored in the secret archives were gone. The imperial physicians who had treated Concubine Yu in recent years also kept their own records, so all he had to do now was wait.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is here."
"Go and call her in."
"Greetings to Your Majesty, the Queen, and Sister Yu." Before raising her eyes to salute, Concubine Shu quickly glanced at the figure behind the pearl curtain.
"Do you know why I called you here?"
"I can probably guess that after I was tricked into miscarrying my first child about ten years ago, I began to focus on studying medicine and have made some progress.
Yesterday, I helped Sister Yu and took her pulse. I casually mentioned that her pulse did not sound like her menstrual period, but was very similar to the pulse of a concubine after she had a miscarriage. I asked her to go see the imperial physician.
Your Majesty summoned me to Hanzhang Palace because he must have found something wrong with Sister Yu's body."
"Something?"
"Your Majesty has collected a lot of new medical books in recent years. I had someone copy a copy and put it in Nanxun Palace. In order to find out the truth about my miscarriage, I have read through all the medical books.
There is a book that talks about the situation of Sister Yu, where some confused women miscarried before they even realized they were pregnant, and they thought it was because the menstrual flow was too heavy and never raised any suspicion.
But it’s different for me. I was already too old when I miscarried, and the blood and flesh that fell out were no different from a woman’s menstrual period. I’ve been pregnant for such a long time…”
There was loneliness in Shu Guipin Bai Liangyu's eyes.
These sentences are four-tenths true and six-tenths false. All that can be verified is true, and all that is subjective is false. Reading medical books is true, but finding the truth is false. The child in her womb was killed and flesh and blood were born because of the red bead given to her by her biological mother Zhao Guixiu.
The contents of the medical book were not fabricated, but the similarity between Concubine Yu and her was far-fetched.
Just like that.
A woman has her menstrual period every month, and there will always be a few times in a dozen years when the flow is heavy. She asked someone to take all of Yu Sheyue's pulse records and then destroyed them after checking them.
The imperial physician, who treated high-ranking concubines, begged for their remains to be taken home. After so many years, almost all of them had died, and she needed someone to help her deal with those who were still alive.
The way to handle it can be quite arrogant.
After all, it was the third prince who was unfilial. He bribed the imperial physician to abort his adoptive mother's fetus, and then killed the person to silence him. Isn't that normal?
As for Yu Sheyue's pulse condition which is similar to miscarriage this time, it is not only caused by a small amount of labor.
The autumn weather is cold, and Yusheyue likes to eat crabs. If you add some medicinal food that has two different ingredients to nourish the body, and then fake the pulse condition to look like miscarriage, would anyone have thought of it?
It doesn't matter if you can think of it, but where is the evidence? Where is the evidence? The third prince has accepted the charge of being unfilial.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, Imperial Doctor Yu, who was begging to return home with his remains, was robbed and killed by bandits on the road last month, and Imperial Doctor Luo, who was on leave at home, drowned the day before yesterday in a water tank at home."
