Chapter 376 1 False Alarm
"Spit it out..."
"Aunt, vomit it up quickly."
Little Miaomiao was so anxious she was jumping up and down.
For some reason, she felt that the scene at this moment overlapped with the scene in her dream.
It was as if history had overlapped.
She couldn't imagine that if her aunt continued to consume that stuff, she would become addicted over time.
It will cause irreversible damage to both her and the child.
Whether it will last until production begins is unknown.
Even if you manage to give birth, it's uncertain whether you'll be able to deliver smoothly, whether the child will be healthy, or whether it will be deformed.
At this time, childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman.
Eating this stuff is like adding another hurdle to the already perilous journey.
The person who sent this is so unethical.
This refers to the emperor, whom I never met.
Lu Qingyao saw that Mu Qianxue seemed to be in good condition, but she wasn't sure if she had been poisoned.
She then turned to the nanny who was serving her and pulled her aside to ask, "Nanny, has the Princess added imperial rice to her meals these past few days?"
Seeing that the old woman didn't react for a moment, she added, "It's the divine medicine that the Emperor bestowed upon the Princess."
"Yes, it was added." The old woman slapped her forehead and remembered. "It was added to yesterday's chicken soup and today's stewed mutton. The masters all said it was delicious..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Prince Jing, who rushed back.
Prince Jing strode towards them and, without saying a word, carried Mu Qianxue back to the bed.
Two imperial physicians followed behind him, and even when they jogged, they couldn't keep up with Prince Jing.
He turned to the imperial physician and said, "Quickly! Quickly take the princess's pulse."
After saying that, he took Mu Qianxue's hand and asked her all sorts of questions, "Xue'er, are you feeling unwell anywhere? Are you dizzy or nauseous?"
Mu Qianxue was completely bewildered.
First, Lu Qingyao asked her a bunch of questions.
Then Miaomiao made her vomit up what she had eaten.
At this moment, King Jing hurriedly brought the imperial physician back to take his pulse.
She had her pulse checked early this morning.
Looking at King Jing again, his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and the back of his clothes was soaked.
Did it run back?
The room was deathly silent; everyone stared intently at the two imperial physicians.
The two imperial physicians were trembling with fear, feeling a chill run down their spines.
He examined her pulse repeatedly, fearing that the slightest mistake would cost him his head. After a long while, he finally spoke, "Your Highness, the Princess's pregnancy is stable, and there are no signs of poisoning."
Seeing the Prince Jing's gloomy face, a royal physician cautiously spoke up again: "Your Highness, it seems that the Princess Consort has not eaten much, so she has no symptoms. If you are really worried, you can induce vomiting and she will be fine."
"Then induce vomiting, stop dawdling," King Jing said impatiently.
He thought these people were quacks.
Otherwise, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would almost die from eating that stuff.
These quack doctors checked my pulse every day and yet they didn't notice anything wrong.
"I don't want to induce vomiting."
Mu Qianxue had the two imperial physicians escorted out, then grabbed Prince Jing's hand and asked, "What poison have I been given? Is it arsenic or arsenic trioxide?"
Is he going to die?
But why can't I feel anything at all?
No wonder Miaomiao kept telling her to vomit.
“No…it’s neither arsenic nor poison.” King Jing looked guilty and began to blame himself.
"Xue'er, it's all my fault. Why did I add that rice to the soup? That stuff is poisonous, you can't eat it. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
He was summoned to the palace by his elder sister and only then did he learn that this thing could cure diseases, but it could also harm people.
Pregnant women should absolutely avoid it.
It's a shame that my father described it as something miraculous.
It almost harmed Xue'er and the child.
He was speechless with grief even when he was with his father.
"Xue'er, don't eat anything your father bestows upon you in the future." That's too unreliable.
Prince Jing thought for a moment and then explained, "Father was also deceived. Mother has already investigated thoroughly. Xue'er, it's important that you quickly spit out those things."
Mu Qianxue: "...I'm not poisoned."
"How could you not be poisoned? I saw you eat so much mutton with my own eyes. Quick, don't be afraid, induce vomiting immediately."
Mu Qianxue was both amused and exasperated as she tried to calm her agitated husband. "I really wasn't poisoned. I've been suffering from morning sickness these past few days, and I've vomited up everything I ate. Actually, all I ate was millet porridge, and there was nothing in it except honey."
King Jing: ...
Xue'er's voice sounds like heavenly music.
Holding her hand, he was so excited he couldn't utter a word.
When he heard that there was a problem with the imperial rice, he didn't care about anything else and rushed back immediately.
I'm just afraid something will happen to Xue'er.
He breathed a sigh of relief, relieved to find it was a false alarm.
At this moment, I feel that my entire back is soaked with sweat.
He didn't care about anything else, plopped down next to his wife, and stroked her lower abdomen as if no one else was around.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness we're alright, thank Buddha for protecting us..."
He looked up and suddenly caught sight of Miao Miao smiling at him.
He suddenly remembered what the old Taoist priest in Jiangzhou had said.
He said that Miaomiao was a lucky child, and the people around her were also blessed by her, and they would always turn bad luck into good.
He had previously thought the old Taoist priest's words were all rather vague and confusing.
But ever since he recognized Miaomiao, he has believed it.
He pondered the old Taoist priest's words carefully, and almost every sentence had a profound meaning, especially the statement that Jia Yuede was unworthy of his position.
This actually came true.
He pulled Miaomiao's little hand over and placed it on his wife's lower abdomen. "Miaomiao, your aunt is pregnant. You'll soon have a little brother or sister. You should come and keep her company and talk to her often."
Jiang Miaomiao stroked her aunt's soft belly.
Logically, a fetus in its second or third month should not be able to feel or touch anything.
But she could sense a small life inside.
She still feels lingering fear when she thinks about that dream.
She couldn't relax until her child was safely born.
For my aunt's baby to be born safely, the inner quarters must first be peaceful.
"Uncle, can you promise me something?"
"What is it, Miaomiao? Just tell me."
"Uncle, if another woman comes into your manor, Aunt will be unhappy. If she's unhappy, she won't be able to properly take care of her pregnancy. Most importantly, if you marry a bad woman, not only will she cause chaos in the manor, but what if she's malicious and wants to harm Aunt or switch the baby?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
Lu Qingyao pulled Xiuxiu away quietly.
The child's words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound.
In the past, she would have covered her daughter's mouth and taken her away.
It is different now.
She's the niece of the person inside; it's no exaggeration to say that.
No matter what he says, King Jing won't do anything to him.
At most, I'll glare at them twice.
He kept saying he was devoted to Xue'er, but words can't always do the job.
Mu Qianxue was so moved that tears almost fell from her eyes.
It's not in vain that she taught the children; she's so considerate of her.
King Jing was stunned for a moment, and his nose felt sore.
He gently stroked his niece's head and solemnly said, "Uncle promises you that he will never take a concubine and will never let such a thing happen again."
Thinking about Miaomiao's experiences makes one feel sorry for her.
This child is subtly preventing him from taking a concubine.
He has Xue'er, that's enough for him. Why would he think about taking a concubine? He just wants his Crown Prince brother to get better soon.
All he wanted was to stay with Xue'er and live a good life.
As they were talking, someone from the palace came to inquire about Princess Jing's condition.
The Emperor also bestowed many gifts of condolence.
In the study.
Prince Jing asked the eunuch who had come to deliver the gifts, "How is the Emperor's condition? Have you found out who gave him the imperial rice?"
"We've found out. It was Consort Qi who presented the prescription to His Majesty. After taking it, His Majesty's headaches were cured, and he became dependent on the medicine. So the Imperial Medical Bureau always keeps imperial rice on hand, and the princes and concubines use this medicine whenever they have headaches or coughs. It turned out to be quite effective, but the Crown Prince's body is too weak, and he can't handle it at all." The eunuch who spoke was someone that Prince Jing had placed by His Majesty's side.
"Continue the investigation. Find out where Consort Qi got her prescription." If she hadn't offered the prescription, she would have been sent to the cold palace long ago.
Father is getting old, and his paranoia is growing.
Now that Prince Chen has returned, and the enemy is lurking in the shadows, he has no choice but to be on guard.
