Longevity Palace.
"Empress. I heard that the concubine of Wangyueju was promoted to the imperial concubine? Is it true?"
The Queen Mother's voice was solemn as the wrinkles on the old man's face deepened.
"My dear mother, I know about this, but I don't blame the emperor. This is what Concubine Shu deserves. After all, she is pregnant with the emperor's heir."
The queen spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, with a leisurely demeanor and indescribably gentle and charming manner.
"Humph! Why are you still defending him? Can the imperial concubine be promoted whenever she wants? The baby hasn't even been born yet."
The Queen Mother was furious after hearing this. It seemed that this guy had turned a deaf ear to everything she had told Gu Junshen last time and had not listened to a word.
"Mother, please calm down!" said the Queen, and handed the teacup on the table to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother took it, took a sip, and put the cup down with an annoyed look on her face.
"Back then, he always did what I said. He was extremely obedient and filial. Who would have thought that he would change after becoming the emperor?"
The Queen Mother spoke with some emotion, her hands hidden under her wide sleeves constantly turning the Buddhist beads in an attempt to calm herself.
She also didn't know when Gu Junshen seemed to have become a different person.
The queen listened in silence and did not reply.
"This Imperial Concubine Shu is really capable. She has my son completely bewitched by her."
The empress dowager looked gloomy and looked at the queen and shook her head helplessly.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely help you. The prince can only be yours."
The Queen was pleasantly surprised when she heard this. She came here today just to visit the Queen Mother, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would actually be willing to help her.
This is an extremely risky thing. If it succeeds, it's fine. If it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
"But don't hold out too much hope. After all, times are different now. The servants under my command are all old, so their actions may not go smoothly."
"When you have a prince, the emperor will surely be pleased with you and will always keep you in his heart."
……
Seven days later, Gu Junshen received memorials submitted by officials from various places.
He sent imperial hospitals to various places to provide treatment and teaching, and also distributed alcohol, medicinal herbs and other items, which had a great effect and relieved the symptoms of patients in many areas.
When Gu Junshen looked at the memorial, he felt a sense of pride.
At the hour of Xu, when Gu Junshen arrived at Wangyueju, his face was flushed.
"My dear, do you know what you have done?"
"What's up?"
"You invented alcohol, which saved many people from disease."
As Gu Junshen spoke, his breathing stagnated. He gently put his arms around Nan Xiang's waist, his eyes and heart trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty! This is what I should do."
Nanxiang smiled and lowered her head slightly.
Now that my belly is getting rounder, squatting has become something I have to be very careful about, so I simply stop squatting.
"My dear, how are you feeling these days? Don't move around too much!"
Gu Junshen looked at Nanxiang's already thick waist and asked with some concern.
Nanxiang has been pregnant for more than five months, but her belly is bigger than that of an ordinary woman who is five months pregnant, and it is becoming more and more obvious.
If he hadn't seen Nan Xiang's complexion as smooth as warm jade, her beauty as delicate as water drops, and her eyes and eyebrows with a hint of feminine charm, he would have suspected that Nan Xiang was sick.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am moving around because I want to move around for the baby in my belly."
Nanxiang fully understands Gu Junshen, a man who has no idea about women's pregnancy.
When she went to see a doctor in modern times, she often met men who were even more outrageous than Gu Junshen. They said they were doing it for the good of the child, but they actually had no idea about the pregnant woman's body.
Proper walking can increase blood circulation in the body, which is beneficial to both Nanxiang and the child, providing the child with better nutrition and enhancing resistance.
If you don't move for a long time, the baby in your belly may suffer from poor blood circulation, which may even induce some complications.
Seeing Gu Junshen's confusion, Nan Xiang immediately explained, "It was the imperial physician who told me to move around more, saying that it would be good for me and the prince."
"It's just that I see that my beloved concubine's belly is much bigger than that of ordinary pregnant concubines."
He opened his round eyes, hoping to get an explanation from Nanxiang.
"Maybe I take better care of myself. The food I eat is more nutritious."
Nan Xiang smiled softly, her slightly opened lips like blooming petals, making Gu Junshen's mind seem to lose its calmness in an instant.
The sound of vibrating drums came from my ears.
In fact, Nanxiang had had doubts for a long time, but it was not until recently that she realized that maybe she was pregnant with twins.
Not only was her belly much bigger than other pregnant women of the same month, she sometimes even felt like there were two hearts beating in her belly.
At first she couldn't tell because the fetus, which had just become pregnant, was not yet formed and the amplitude of the fetal heartbeat was not strong.
As the months went by, she could feel the two heartbeats in her belly more and more clearly.
Her stomach also felt heavy, and she began to feel pain in her waist after walking for a while. She had to walk with the support of Caiyun and Juping. She had to eat at least four meals a day, and she ate a lot, which was digested very quickly.
So she has never left Wangyueju during this period of time. The farthest distance she has walked is the main hall gate of Wangyueju and the distillation device in the back kitchen.
At this time, the simple distillation device in the kitchen of Wangyueju had been replaced with more sophisticated equipment developed by Gu Junshen, which greatly improved the efficiency.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiang brought Gu Junshen to the couch, intending to tell him the role of alcohol on the battlefield so as not to bury another more important value of alcohol - disinfection and prevention of wound infection.
"Your Majesty! I wonder where Your Majesty intends to use the alcohol?"
"It can be done in the Imperial Hospital. After all, can't alcohol protect patients from infection?"
His eyebrows raised slightly, as if he was thinking, and a ripple appeared slightly wrinkled.
"Your Majesty! I have another use for this that I have not yet told you. This alcohol can also be used to prevent inflammation and suppuration of wounds, which is beneficial to the recovery of wounds."
Nan Xiang spoke softly, silently observing the changes in Gu Junshen's expression.
Gu Junshen, who was originally thoughtful, had a more lively look in his eyes, as if he was surprised by Nanxiang's words.
“It’s actually so useful?”
He couldn't help but think of something, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Nanxiang with more appreciation and love.
"If that's the case, my dear, you've done a great job. It's also a great job to prevent patients from getting infected."
Gu Junshen was delighted, his eyebrows slightly raised, he held Nan Xiang's hands tightly with both hands, and his tone was a little excited.
"What does the emperor say?"
Nan Xiang asked pretendingly, she knew that Gu Junshen must be thinking of the soldiers who went to war.
"Nowadays, the barbarian tribes heading north often launch attacks on the civilian towns in the northwest of the Northern Dynasty. The soldiers fighting in the north have suffered heavy casualties. If we have this item, we will definitely be able to quickly heal their injuries and make the war less difficult."
