The Wife is First - 87 Chapter 87 Nightmare Syndrome
Mu Hanzhang entered the inner room and saw an imperial physician taking his pulse. Marquis Beiwei was sitting on a stool at the head of the bed, and Ge Ruoyi was standing beside the bed to serve him.
“The fetus is a little unstable, but fortunately there are no signs of miscarriage yet.” After checking the pulse, the imperial doctor pondered for a moment and then prescribed a prescription to stabilize the fetus.
Mu Hanzhang walked closer and saw Mrs. Qiu lying on the bed, her face a little pale, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Mom, are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Mu Hanzhang sat down by the bed, took the handkerchief Ge Ruoyi handed her, and wiped the cold sweat on her forehead.
“Better.” Qiu’s voice was a little weak, but her words were clear and her palms were warm, so it should be fine for the time being.
“Why did the baby move so well?” Mu Hanzhang turned to ask the imperial doctor.
The anti-fetal medicine was prescribed by Imperial Physician Jiang, and Ge Ruoyi had always prepared it by himself, and the food was even more meticulous. Because Qiu was severely ill when she was three months old, Mu Hanzhang specially transferred a cook from the palace to Qiu. The small kitchen in the courtyard is specially used for cooking for her.
The imperial doctor was temporarily called by the Marquis of Beiwei, and he was not clear about what happened: “Madam was just frightened and did not eat anything wrong.”
Frightened? Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and looked at his father sitting on the bedside.
The Marquis of Beiwei sighed: “It’s okay, just go and get the medicine according to the imperial doctor’s prescription.” This was said to Ge Ruoyi, but she took the prescription and did not go out, but handed it to her. Mu Hanzhang.
Mu Hanzhang took it and looked at it. It was basically the same as the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Jiang. Some of the medicinal materials were slightly different. It should be a mild prescription, which meant that the problem was not serious.
The imperial doctor accepted the gift of thanks from Marquis Beiwei, bowed to Mu Hanzhang and left. When he walked outside, he saw Jing Shao sitting on the main seat, so he had to go up and salute again.
“How’s it going?” Jing Shao asked.
“Mrs. Side is fine.” The imperial doctor replied honestly.
Mrs. Beiwei Hou breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Jing Shao glanced at her and felt that this matter was a little strange.
“How can you be frightened when you are fine?” Mu Hanzhang held his mother’s hand and asked her warmly.
Ms. Qiu pursed her lips. What happened just now was really thrilling. Now that her son is here, she feels that she has found a supporter. She feels calmer and feels that the pain in her abdomen has eased a lot. But when her son asked this, she couldn’t say anything and just shook her head: “It’s good that the child is fine.
Mu Hanzhang frowned and raised his head to ask Bei Weihou.
“Your mother was walking in the garden and almost fell into the pond. Fortunately, this girl was smart and didn’t cause any trouble.” The Marquis of Beiwei also came over after hearing this. He didn’t have time to ask what was going on, so he could only tell her what was going on. Speak out what you know.
“Ruoyi, what’s going on?” Mu Hanzhang’s face turned cold, “How many times have I told you, I must follow you every step of the way!”
Ge Ruoyi immediately knelt down on the ground after hearing this: “This slave deserves to die. He failed to take good care of Mrs. Side, but the young master suddenly rushed out and pushed Mrs. Side, and I had no time to stop him…”
The room fell silent for a moment. Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said nothing. Marquis Beiwei was stunned. Why is there still something about Mu Lingbao? The servant who just replied to him didn’t say this to him, and this girl only said it now.
“Why didn’t you tell me just now?” Bei Weihou was a little embarrassed, as if he was deliberately hiding it.
“Mom, you go to sleep for a while. I’ll call you when the medicine is ready.” Mu Hanzhang said no more, pulled the quilt and covered Qiu. Qiu looked at him with her beautiful eyes open, knowing that he was She had to go out and deal with this matter. Although she didn’t want to cause trouble, today’s facts really frightened her. She pursed her lips and finally chose silence.
The Marquis of Beiwei also said a few words of comfort before taking Mu Hanzhang and Ge Ruoyi out of the inner room.
“It’s a small matter in the inner house, but I’d rather trouble you to make a trip.” The Marquis of Beiwei didn’t expect Jing Shao to be there, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
“This is no small matter.” Jing Shao said with a smile, inviting his princess to come and sit with him.
“Why didn’t you see eldest brother?” Mu Hanzhang walked over to Jing Shao with a cold face and took the first seat under the main seat.
“Lingbao hasn’t recovered yet. He just got a little frightened. I asked him to go back and rest.” Mrs. Beiwei Hou said hurriedly.
Frightened? Mu Hanzhang only thought it was funny when he heard this. He bumped into a pregnant woman, but he was frightened. However, he was still delicate by the pregnant woman! The hands hidden in the sleeves gradually clenched into fists. Today’s matter must not be let go like this. If we just let it pass in this vague way, with the temperament of this group of people who do not know how to restrain themselves, the child in the mother’s belly will definitely not be born safely.
“What’s frightening him?” Marquis Beiwei sat on the main seat on the other side. He slapped the table after hearing this. He cherished this old man very much and looked forward to the birth of this child every day. “Call me the prince. .
The servant followed the order and left. Mrs. Beiwei Hou knew that this matter had been leaked, and gave Ge Ruoyi a fierce look, but the other party turned a deaf ear and stood behind Mu Hanzhang with lowered eyes, making it clear that she was a girl from the palace. Not under her control.
Du Shi felt that the situation was very unfavorable for their mother and son. She flipped the handkerchief back and forth several times, then carefully considered her words and said, “Master Marquis, Lingbao was unintentional. He must not have seen it and accidentally got hit. The child is fine. But he should be allowed to come and help his sister.”
In just a few words, he shied away the matter, as if he was very generous, letting the innocent prince come to apologize to a concubine.
However, none of the three people sitting in the upper seats answered the question. Marquis Beiwei ignored her, and the other two were too lazy to argue with her.
Mu Hanzhang lowered his eyes and said nothing. He heard that Mu Lingbao had been languishing in bed for two months and was now able to walk. Mu Hanzhang hadn’t seen him recently, but thinking about it, it couldn’t be an accident. Mrs. Qiu had always been extremely protective of her children. She was careful when walking and never walked into narrow and slippery places. Ge Ruoyi was always by her side. Followed by, Mu Lingbao was crippled rather than blind. How could he not see two living people?
Jing Shao took a sip of tea slowly, without any consciousness of not getting involved in other people’s affairs at home. He sat in silence and made it clear that he wanted to support his princess.
After waiting for a long time, Mu Lingbao didn’t come, but another imperial physician arrived, it was Imperial Physician Zhang who Jingchen sent for. Now that he was here, he naturally couldn’t brush off Prince Rui’s kindness, so the Marquis of Beiwei asked someone to take him to show Qiu again.
Doctor Zhang went in for a while, and then Mu Lingbao came in slowly, with such a careless look that the Marquis of Beiwei immediately became furious: “You traitor! My father asked you to come here, why are you wasting your time?”
Mu Hanzhang was really shocked when he saw Mu Lingbao. The fat man who used to be slightly fat was now so thin that his cheeks were sunken and his eyes were hollow. When he saw him, a trace of resentment flashed through him.
“Mu Hanzhang!” When Mu Lingbao saw him, he immediately became energetic and rushed to him in a few steps, reaching out to strangle his neck.
“What are you doing?” How could Jing Shao let him succeed? He raised his hand to hold his weak wrist and threw him out with a little skill.
Mu Lingbao fell to the ground, quickly got up, pointed at Mu Hanzhang and said, “Is it you? You were the one who asked people to throw me into the river, wasn’t it you!” Mu Lingbao’s voice was no longer the same as before. It is full of energy and the tone becomes a bit sharp.
Jing Shao hugged the person next to him and patted him gently, as if he was afraid of scaring him.
Mu Hanzhang immediately broke away, glared at him angrily, and turned to Mu Lingbao: “Brother, what’s going on?”
Mrs. Beiwei Hou rushed up and grabbed Mu Lingbao: “What are you yelling about? Let me ask you, Mrs. Chi slipped just now. Why didn’t you help me and ran away by yourself?” As she spoke, she secretly pinched Mu Lingbao’s waist. Nest, motioning for him to follow his words.
“Mother, my son just heard that my mother did not slip and fall on her own.” Mu Hanzhang said slowly, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear.
“What, you want to say that it was your eldest brother who failed?” Mrs. Beiwei Hou raised her eyebrows and turned to glare at Mu Hanzhang. With such filial piety, she did not believe that Mu Hanzhang could accuse his brother. Say it.
Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. He really couldn’t say these words. Arguing with the difficult woman would only make the matter more confusing. He took a deep breath and sat down next to Jing Shao. They didn’t care about this matter today. No matter how messed up you are, you must make it clear.
At this moment, Dr. Zhang, who had gone in to check the pulse, followed the maid out and briefly explained the situation, which was basically the same as what the doctor just said.
Jing Shao quietly shook his princess’s hand, looked at Mu Lingbao, whose face was a little pale, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “This Dr. Zhang was invited by the Second Emperor’s brother. He has superb medical skills. I just heard that the prince was frightened. Why don’t you drop by and take a look.”
“No, I’m not sick!” He knew Mu Lingbao’s physical condition very well, so he naturally refused to show it to any imperial doctor. He immediately retorted loudly after hearing this.
Mu Hanzhang understood what Jing Shao meant and said, “My eldest brother is kind-hearted, so naturally he would not do anything to push my concubine into the water, but it is not a trivial matter to see people clearly in broad daylight…” Before he finished speaking, he just He looked at Bei Weihou with some embarrassment.
The Marquis of Beiwei also felt that something was wrong with Mu Lingbao. As soon as he came in, he yelled, “Can the doctor please take a look at the prince?”
“Go away, don’t come here!” Mu Lingbao screamed. Seeing the gray-bearded imperial doctor coming forward, he struggled back and looked a little crazy.
Doctor Zhang glanced at Jing Shao’s expression, pondered for a moment and said, “Forgive me for speaking frankly, the prince behaves like this, I’m afraid he is suffering from nightmare syndrome.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room took a breath. The so-called nightmare syndrome, euphemistically speaking, means being possessed by evil spirits, but to put it bluntly, it means going crazy.
“Impossible,” Mrs. Beiwei Hou shouted immediately, pulling Mu Lingbao to her side. “Lingbao was just frightened. The imperial doctor can prescribe a prescription to soothe his nerves. He will be fine after two days of drinking.”
“Father, if it is really a nightmare syndrome, my mother is still pregnant at the moment. I heard that the concubine in my eldest brother’s room is about to give birth. This is just an accident. If there is another one in the future…” Mu Hanzhang frowned and whispered to her. Bei Weihou said.
“Mu Hanzhang, what nonsense are you talking about!” Mrs. Beiweihou’s expression turned ugly.
“Let the imperial doctor take a look and then we can say yes or no.” Jing Shao turned sideways in the direction of his princess to prevent one or two from going crazy and hurting him.
After receiving Jing Shao’s hint, Imperial Physician Zhang took two steps forward and reached out to grab Mu Lingbao’s hand. Mu Lingbao suddenly yelled: “Get away!” and pushed the Imperial Physician who was in front of him. Take away the road.
“Stop him!” Bei Weihou realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked his servants to block Mu Lingbao’s path. He followed him into the courtyard and caught him. Mu Jin knew that Mu Lingbao was very depressed after he was invalided. He got angry when he saw his half-dead look, so he ignored him. Who knows how he turned into such a crazy person after not seeing him for ten days and a half? Looking good?
The whole house of the Marquis of Beiwei was in a commotion for a long time. In the end, the Marquis of Beiwei took the initiative and temporarily locked the crown prince in his yard. He was not allowed to be released until Qiu gave birth. He also asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a lot of tranquilizers. Fangzi asked his wife to watch him drink medicine every day.
Mrs. Du went to accompany her son in tears. Marquis Beiwei seemed to be much older. Jing Shao only waved his hands feebly when they left.
Mu Hanzhang did not insist on what Bei Weihou should do with Mu Lingbao. As long as he could ensure the safety of his mother, he was content. However, he remained silent on the way back.
“When you’re tired, rest against me. You’ll be home soon.” Jing Shao rubbed his chin on the head of the person in his arms.
“I didn’t expect that Mu Lingbao would become like this…” Mu Hanzhang pursed his lips. This incident seemed to have dealt a serious blow to Mu Lingbao.
“It’s just his own fault,” Jing Shao hugged Rang into his arms, “You didn’t give up on yourself when you were a child. He just lost some fun. His limbs and muscles are all healthy. He didn’t want to cheer up and take revenge. , I only know how to get angry at old, weak, women and children, there is nothing I can do but sympathize with.” He knows that his princess is soft-hearted, but for a person like Mu Lingbao, he won’t appreciate you if you are soft-hearted to him.
Mu Hanzhang nodded slightly, what happened has already happened, there is no point thinking about it anymore, now he just needs to protect his mother.
