"Save my Qimei, Brother Yu, you said you can save her, right?"
From yesterday to now, Xiao Jingrui has not slept even a single stick of incense. Whenever he closes his eyes, he will think of what happened last night, and then he will toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
Although Emperor Liang ordered people to search the Ningguo Marquis' mansion and remove the plaque of the Marquis' mansion, because of Princess Wei Yang, he still gave them a few days to wait for them to move out before searching the house again, so they still live in the house now.
In Xie Mansion.
Zhou Chen comforted him: "Jing Rui, don't get excited. Since I promised you, I will never break my promise. Just wait a minute and I'll call someone."
Aunt Ji, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly arrived in front of Zhou Chen and Xiao Jingrui.
Xiao Jingrui saw Aunt Ji and asked in shock: "Isn't this Aunt Ji from Brother Su's house?"
He has been to the Su Mansion many times, so naturally he has met Aunt Ji, so it is natural for him to recognize her.
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Well, I borrowed it for Brother Su. Although Aunt Ji is just a servant in Brother Su's house, she is actually very capable and knows how to rescue. I
I know medical skills, but after all, your sister is a male and a female, so for her reputation, I definitely can’t help deliver the baby, so Aunt Ji can be of great help."
Xiao Jingrui reacted and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
He was also eager to save his sister, so he didn't think carefully before coming. Yes, Zhou Chen is a man after all, how could he help his sister deliver the baby.
"Then let's leave now, Qier can't hold on any longer."
"Okay, let's go now."
In order to save time, the three of them rode horses and rushed towards Xie's Mansion.
On the way, we met people from the patrol camp, but after hearing Xiao Jingrui's self-introduction, we didn't check again.
Under the leadership of Xiao Jingrui, they quickly rushed into Xie's mansion and came to the yard where Xie Qi was expecting to give birth.
At this time, outside Xie Qi's delivery room, a group of people were anxious and worried. Princess Weiyang, who had always maintained her identity, was noble and arrogant, no longer calm as before, and asked the imperial doctor who was invited in a panic.
"Mr. Qin, Imperial Physician Qin, you have watched Qier grow up. I beg you, please save her."
Imperial Physician Qin is an old man, and his current mood is no better than that of Princess Wei Yang. He is pacing back and forth eagerly, shaking his head.
"Your Highness, Miss Qier, her fetus is not in the right position, her energy and blood are too weak, plus she is worried and depressed, I'm afraid I have no hope of recovery."
Princess Weiyang was completely panicked and screamed: "Master Qin, I, what should I do..."
Xiao Jingrui happened to arrive with Zhou Chen and Aunt Ji at this time. When he saw his mother's panic, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Mom, I invited Brother Yu here. He is a doctor and he said he can save Qimei.
"
Princess Weiyang suddenly became energetic and shouted excitedly: "Where is he?"
When she saw Zhou Chen behind Xiao Jingrui, she was immediately stunned: "Is he a doctor?"
She hadn't reacted just now, but now that she saw Zhou Chen, she remembered what happened that day. She also saw Zhou Chen's martial arts. Her husband's downfall was related to Zhou Chen, so she heard Xiao Jingrui say that Zhou Chen
Chen is a doctor and can save her daughter, but her first reaction is not to believe it.
But it was about her daughter's life, so she couldn't care so much, and asked nervously: "You, can you really save Qier?"
Zhou Chen replied with a calm expression: "I can only say that I will try my best."
When the doctor Qin next to him heard this, he quickly said: "Master, Miss Xie, her fetus is not in the right position and it is difficult to give birth. Do you really have any way to save her?"
He mainly saw that Zhou Chen was too young, so he didn't trust him very much, and there were really very few male doctors who knew how to deliver babies.
Zhou Chen did not waste time with him. In order to dispel their concerns, he said directly: "I studied under Langya Pavilion. The master of Langya Pavilion is my master. I have been studying medicine for more than ten years and I think my medical skills are good; not to mention that now you are still
Is there a better way? If there is no way, why not let me try it, at least there will be no worse results, right? "
When Princess Weiyang heard this, she thought that it was indeed the case. There was really nothing they could do now, so she looked at Imperial Physician Qin.
"Master Qin, look..."
Imperial Physician Qin's expression relaxed and he said: "Although I am an official in the court, I have also heard of the name of Pavilion Master Lin, Her Royal Highness the Princess. This young master is right. Miss Xie is in danger now. If this young master
If there is a way, you can try it."
Princess Wei Yang said with some scruples: "But how can he deliver the baby as a boy?"
Doctor Qin understood what she meant: "Your Highness, Princess, I understand your concerns, but there is nothing you can do now. It is up to you to decide whether you want to let this young master give it a try."
Princess Weiyang was caught in a dilemma. At this time, Xiao Jingrui said urgently: "Mother, what time is this? Qimei's life is the most important."
Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Princess. I know your concerns. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not do it myself. This is Aunt Ji. She has experience in delivering babies. I will teach her how to do it later. As long as Miss Xie can
If you cooperate, it should be possible."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of black cloth from his arms and covered his eyes.
"I blindfolded my eyes and used a curtain to block the delivery. I could tell Miss Xie's condition by listening to the voice and Aunt Ji's narration, and then judge the first aid method."
Princess Weiyang no longer hesitated and said loudly: "Mr. Chen, the safety of that little girl is entrusted to you. Please save Qier. As long as I can save her, I can do anything you ask me to do."
Zhou Chen did not answer, but said calmly: "It's important to save people. Jingrui stays outside. Her Royal Highness, Princess Xie, please go in with us. At this critical moment, Miss Xie may need your comfort and encouragement."
"well."
Zhou Chen, Aunt Ji and Princess Wei Yang walked into the delivery room together, but Zhou Chen went in blindfolded.
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 child in her belly.
After Zhou Chen entered, about half an hour passed. During this period, Xie Qi's crying stopped and started ringing, and stopped again. In the end, there was no sound at all.
Until a baby cried, Xiao Jingrui and Doctor Qin outside both looked happy.
Zhou Chen opened the door first and walked out.
Xiao Jingrui grabbed Zhou Chen's hand and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, my Qimei..."
Zhou Chen took off the black cloth from his eyes and said, "Mother and son are safe, you are going to be an uncle."
"real?"
Xiao Jingrui burst into tears of excitement. Suddenly he bent his legs and knelt down in front of Zhou Chen, kowtowing heavily.
Zhou Chen was startled and quickly helped Xiao Jingrui up: "Jingrui, what are you doing?"
Xiao Jingrui did not stand up, but solemnly said: "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 was like a child, crying bitterly, not only because his sister survived, but also because of his own experience. He had suppressed it for a long time, but now he burst out with relief.
Zhou Chen could understand Xiao Jingrui's mood, pulled him up, patted his arm, and said: "Jing Rui, you are a man, you have to be strong, your relatives need you now, you have to shoulder your responsibilities."
Xiao Jingrui wiped his tears and choked up: "Brother Yu, thank you, thank you..."
Princess Wei Yang also came out. She was not as exaggerated as Xiao Jingrui, but she was also extremely grateful.
"Mr. Chen, I really want to thank you for what happened today. If it weren't for you, my daughter Qier might not have survived. Although it's a bit late to say this now, we will definitely keep this favor from Mr. Chen in our hearts."
"Eldest Princess, you're welcome. Although Miss Xie saved her life, her body was severely traumatized and she needs to rest well in the future. However, it is best not to use too strong tonics in the early stage, which will only cause side effects."
Zhou Chen didn't have a good impression of Princess Yang, so he didn't say much, just a few words of explanation.
"Jing Rui, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"Brother Yu, I'll give it to you."
"good."
Xiao Jingrui led Zhou Chen out of the yard, sent Zhou Chen to the door, and arranged a carriage to take them back.
Zhou Chen did not go back to his mansion directly, but came to Su Mansion.
Mei Changsu has been waiting since he learned that Zhou Chen took Aunt Ji to the Xie Mansion. When Li Gang led Zhou Chen in, his expression changed.
"Xiaochen, how is the situation?"
Zhou Chen sat down next to Mei Changsu and said, "The process is complicated, but the result is pretty good. Xie Qi and her son are safe."
"call!"
Mei Changsu took a long breath, and his heavy heart suddenly relaxed a lot. He had been worried all along.
"Xiaochen, thank you very much."
"Let's not be polite, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"I don't put any pressure on myself. I just feel that if anything happens to Xie Qi, it's because of me. I've watched this child grow up. It's good to be alive. It's good to be alive."
Before the Battle of Meiling, their family was also related to the Xie family. Xie Qi was his cousin, and she often played with him when he was a child, so they still had feelings for each other.
After a long time, Mei Changsu 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, and it was indeed Lin Chen's handwriting, telling him to return to Langya Mountain on August 15th this year. He also said that this was the intention of his master, the old Pavilion Master Lin.
Mei Changsu said: "Old Pavilion Master Lin has been traveling abroad for many years, and suddenly asked you and Lin Chen to go back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It seems that there must be something important."
Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Well, speaking of which, I haven't seen Master in a few years. He is wandering around. If there is nothing important, he probably won't let us rush back. But there is no rush, it shouldn't be a bad thing.
."
"There are still four months until the Mid-Autumn Festival, so there is no need to rush."
Mei Changsu poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chen and said: "In a few days, I am going to go to Tianlao to meet Xie Yu. After so many years, it is time to understand everything. Do you want to go there with me then?
"
Zhou Chen said: "If I guess correctly, you must want Prince Jing to accompany you, right?"
"Of course, I can't reveal my identity, so I can only let Jingyan take the initiative to learn about the injustice. I believe that as long as he knows the situation, he will definitely pursue it. In this way, I will have reason to investigate this matter.
"
"With Prince Jing here, I have no reason to go."
"Forget it, I'll tell you when I come back anyway, it will be the same."
…………
The imprisonment of Xie Yu, the First-Rank Military Marquis, has caused the whole capital to become turbulent, because in the past year, too many big things have happened in the capital, and several high-ranking officials from the Six Ministries have fallen. Now even the First-Rank Military Marquis Xie Yu has fallen. This
This is definitely the biggest turmoil among the top brass of the Daliang court in the past ten years.
After Xie Yu was thrown into the sky prison, King Yu began to take action. He was determined to put Xie Yu to death.
But at this time, Xia Jiang, the leader of the Xuanjing Division, suddenly returned to the capital. As soon as Xia Jiang returned to the capital, Mei Changsu received the news.
That same night, news came from Xia Dong that Xia Jiang was dissatisfied with her and might even suspect her, so she was kept in confinement and not allowed to go out;
So she won't come to Su Mansion recently, and also tells Mei Changsu, Zhou Chen and others to be careful.
Originally, Xie Yu's plan was already certain, but as soon as Xia Jiang came back, Xie Yu changed his tune, and Emperor Liang's attitude became erratic.
This also made Xie Yu, who could have been convicted, now have to be retried. In short, it is dragging on.
Because of this matter, King Yu was so angry that he went to Mei Changsu to complain. He even scolded his father, saying that Emperor Liang Laohu was corrupted.
Mei Changsu took advantage of the situation and took advantage of King Yu's dissatisfaction to prepare to go to Tianlao.
In order to put Prince Jing's mind at ease, he specially invited Xia Dong to act together for Prince Jing.
Regarding external matters, Mei Changsu didn't come to see Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen didn't go out either. He just stayed at home and accompanied Gong Yu.
"Master, Mr. Xiao sent someone to deliver another gift."
Butler Lu came to the hall and reported to Zhou Chen.
Since Zhou Chen rescued Xie Qi's mother and son, Xiao Jingrui has sent people to deliver gifts three times in the past half month, and this is the fourth time.
Zhou Chen said: "Let someone accept it. I will go to Jingrui personally and ask him not to give any more gifts 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 gifts. The gifts contained many supplements suitable for pregnant women, which showed that Xiao Jingrui was smart and knew what gifts to give.
Only Zhou Chen would accept it.
Butler Lu retreated, and Zhou Chen took Gong Yu to the courtyard 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 bustle and exaggeration of the brothel, so she prefers silence now. What's more, she is pregnant now. She values the child in her belly more than anything else. She is even more interested now.
I don’t want to go out, I just want to take good care of my baby.
Zhou Chen said: "It's not a good thing to be bored at home all the time. You should go out for a walk."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "I just walk in 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 get rid of the past. She didn't want others to look at her the way they did in the past. She was no longer the top singer in Miaoyinfang in the past, but a
An ordinary woman who is about to become a mother.
Holding Gong Yu's hand, he came to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down, watching the scenery with Gong Yu.
"Master, master..."
Butler Lu ran into the courtyard in a panic.
Zhou Chen frowned slightly: "I'm so panicked, what happened?"
He knew that Butler Lu's psychological quality and being able to lurk under his nose for so long was not something ordinary people could do.
Steward Lu said eagerly: "There are imperial guards outside the door. They say they have been ordered by the emperor to accept the order."
"The Imperial Guard declares a decree?"
Zhou Chen looked shocked. He was just a person from the world, and he had only met Emperor Liang once, and they had no contact with him since then. How could Emperor Liang suddenly give him an order?
Although he was confused, he quickly stood up.
"Let's go and have a look."
According to the emperor's will, as the mistress of the palace, Gong Yu naturally had to pass.
Zhou Chen soon saw the person announcing the decree, who turned out to be Meng Zhi. In addition to Meng Zhi, there was also a group of forbidden troops.
As soon as Zhou Chen appeared, Meng Zhi said in a pretentious manner: "Mr. Chen, His Majesty has decreed that you will enter the palace immediately."
Seeing Meng Zhi's wink, Zhou Chen was ready to kneel down to receive the order.
Meng Zhi grabbed him and said eagerly: "Your Majesty has ordered that the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed, so these etiquettes are no longer necessary. Come with us quickly."
Zhou Chen nodded to Gong Yu with doubts, and then left with Meng Zhi.
Meng Zhi rode in front, and Zhou Chen followed suit, 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 at the Imperial Hospital are helpless. Princess Weiyang recommended you to Your Majesty, saying that you also know medical skills and may be able to save the Empress Dowager."
When Zhou Chen heard this, he was immediately speechless. He knew the body and bones of the Empress Dowager. When she first came to the capital last year, she was already in very bad shape when he saw her. It was considered good to be alive until now.
At this time, it can be said that the Empress Dowager has reached the end of her life, and there is no longer any medicine or stone that can cure her.
Princess Wei Yang recommended him to come at this time. Isn't this Chun Chun causing trouble for him?
He felt a little unhappy, but the scene from the last time they met suddenly appeared in his mind. The old lady held his hand, which was true love.
And in his memory, the old lady's love and care for him when he was a child was no less than Lin Shu's.
Such a kind elder would still want to be cured if possible.
Meng Zhi whispered: "The Queen Mother's health is getting worse day by day. You must be mentally prepared and don't offend Long Yan."
"I see."
Arriving at the palace soon, Zhou Chen, led by Meng Zhi, arrived at the palace of the Empress Dowager.
At this moment, the palace of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager was surrounded by many people, including emperors, queens, concubines, Princess Weiyang, etc...
Zhou Chen stood outside, while Meng Zhi walked in, came to Emperor Liang's side, and reported in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Chen Yu has already brought it."
Emperor Liang nodded, and then asked Princess Wei Yang next to him: "Wei Yang, is Chen Yu's medical skills really as good as you say?"
Princess Weiyang replied: "Your Majesty, the last time Qi'er's situation happened, even Qin's imperial doctor was helpless. In the end, it was Chen Yu's command that made Qi'er's mother and son safe. He studied under the master of Langya Pavilion, and this kind of thing happened one after another.
If you can do it all, your medical skills will definitely be good."
In fact, she recommended Zhou Chen this time. On the one hand, she really cared about the Empress Dowager, and on the other hand, she also wanted to repay Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen could cure the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty would be happy, he might be able to reward Zhou Chen.
As for whether Zhou Chen can't cure him, it doesn't matter. I haven't seen that so many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital can't do anything. Zhou Chen is much younger than them. Even if he can't do anything, he will definitely not be punished.
Emperor Liang nodded. Now he had no choice but to pray that Zhou Chen would have real abilities.
"Meng Qing, go and call him in."
Zhou Chen followed the eunuch into the palace and was about to salute Emperor Liang when Emperor Liang waved his hand.
"No need to salute, come here quickly and see how the Queen Mother is doing."
Zhou Chenba had to salute, so he quickly walked to the Queen Mother's bed and took a few glances.
"Your Majesty, can I take the pulse of the Empress Dowager?"
"Of course you can. If you can cure the Empress Dowager, I will reward you heavily."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The maid next to her was very discerning. She brought a stool for Zhou Chen and asked him to sit down and take his pulse. Because the Empress Dowager was not a royal concubine, she didn’t need to pay too much attention to it, and she didn’t need any hanging curtains.
Feel the pulse.
When Zhou Chen checked the pulse of the Empress Dowager, everyone in the palace looked at him curiously, with puzzled expressions on their faces. Even a group of old doctors couldn't do anything about it. Is this young man who doesn't look very old any more skilled than his elders?
Are the doctors okay?
Especially Concubine Jing who was a medical girl, she was even more curious because she could also tell that the situation of the Empress Dowager was not good.
She was interested in Zhou Chen's medical skills because Zhou Chen came from Langya Pavilion, the most mysterious and unpredictable power in the world.
