Chapter 1242 Running Dog
Doctor Huang bowed before standing up and going inside to check Bai Qingyan’s pulse.
The young eunuch handed the medicine to Chuntao.
“Your Majesty was not originally fit to get pregnant, and this time you are having twins, your body has lost a lot of strength, and you need to slowly replenish it, don’t be impatient!” Imperial Doctor Huang said slowly to Bai Qing, “Your Majesty must remember not to overwork, and not to be distracted…”
“Doctor Huang, I see that these two children are much thinner than other children when they are born. Is it because they were damaged in the mother’s body?” Bai Qingyan asked in a low voice, “When the fifth and sixth children were born, Doctor Hong could feel that they were pregnant with twins. Why… Doctor Hong kept checking my pulse, but didn’t realize that I was pregnant with twins?”
Doctor Huang took out the pulse record that Doctor Hong had sent to hand over to him from the medicine box.
“Your Majesty, I have been examining your pulse every day. Once or twice, I vaguely sensed from your pulse that you were pregnant with twins. But your belly was not big. In addition, due to the eldest daughter’s old injuries and cold in her early years, her pulse was different from usual. This pulse only appeared once or twice, so I was not sure and did not say it out loud. But I have recorded it all…” Doctor Huang was holding the pulse record made by Doctor Hong in his hand.
Bai Qingyan recalled that Doctor Hong would sometimes take a long time to examine her pulse, frowning and seeming to want to say something but stopping himself. She thought… Doctor Hong might have vaguely sensed that she was having twins once or twice, but the two children were weak, and the daughter was even weaker, so he was not sure, fearing that she would be overjoyed.
In addition to having someone bring the pulse case to Imperial Physician Huang, Doctor Hong also wrote a private letter to Imperial Physician Huang, telling him that although Bai Qingyan’s body had recovered gradually after training on the battlefield and practicing tirelessly every day, her body had been damaged for so many years and it was not possible to replenish it all at once. Moreover, replenishing the body was an extremely slow process. In addition, Bai Qingyan was pregnant at an inappropriate time. If she was pregnant with one child, she might be able to provide for the child. But if she was pregnant with two, one of them would probably be stillborn… or would not live long after being born.
Therefore, Doctor Hong instructed Doctor Huang that if he felt this kind of pulse condition again when taking Bai Qingyan’s pulse, he should not say anything and just give Bai Qingyan gentle tonic according to the normal prescription. Otherwise, the Bai family and Bai Qingyan would think they were pregnant with twins, and it would be fine if only one was born. If only one child survived, they would not be able to bear it psychologically after waiting for so long.
Fortunately, this time the twins were born, and although the little prince and princess were weak, they both survived!
The little princess’s health might be a little troublesome, but Doctor Huang is not completely helpless.
Bai Qingyan saw Doctor Hong’s handwriting on the pulse record, her eyes fell on the two children again, and she nodded… She felt extremely guilty. If she had paid more attention to the children, noticed that the children didn’t move very often, and let them rest more instead of thinking that the children were well-behaved, perhaps… the two children would be in better physical condition now.
“Your Majesty…” Wei Zhong hurried in, bowed respectfully and said, “My son-in-law’s former bodyguard Yue Shi said that he came here to see you on the orders of the Ninth Prince of Yan.”
When Bai Qingyan heard that Yue Shi was coming, his heart sank. Yue Shi came so quickly.
She also wanted to know the whole story of this matter. Was it the fault of Yan State or the Queen Mother Yan? Bai Qingyan had to find out.
“Please pass it in!” She adjusted her sitting position.
Nanny Tong quickly stood up and put a hidden bag behind Bai Qingyan, and then she heard Mrs. Dong say, “The two children are still asleep, let the wet nurse take them away first! Nanny Tong, you follow, starting today you and Nanny Qin will take turns, you stay with the two children, especially Kang Le…”
“Yes!” Nanny Tong responded.
Bai Qingyan kissed the two children again before handing them over to the wet nurse.
These two children have always been so well-behaved. Before Bai Qingyan went to the Xiliang battlefield, they were well-behaved in the belly, and now they are still so well-behaved after being born.
Not long after the child was taken away, Yue Shi came in, looking exhausted.
Yue Shi also saw a strange phenomenon in the eastern sky on the way here. When he heard that Bai Qingyan had given birth prematurely, his heart skipped a beat.
The master was afraid that the young lady would worry, so he asked him to come here at full speed, but he didn’t expect that the young lady would still get into trouble…
Giving birth is already a journey through hell for a woman, let alone giving birth prematurely.
When Yue Shiyi entered the room, she could only vaguely see the shadow of the bed and the outline of a person behind the gauze curtains.
The soldiers of Bai’s army looked at Yue Shi. Although they knew that Yue Shi used to be the bodyguard of their brother-in-law, he has now become the running dog of the Ninth Prince of Yan. The soldiers of Bai’s army wished they could eat Yue Shi alive.
“Yue Shi greets the young lady!” Yue Shi kowtowed to Bai Qingyan respectfully, “Yue Shi is here to deliver a letter to the young lady on the orders of the Ninth Prince of Yan State.”
As he spoke, Yue Shi took out the letter from his chest and held it high above his head respectfully.
Wei Zhong took the letter from Yue Shi’s hand, walked to the drapery, lifted the gauze drapery and handed the letter to Chun Tao.
Chuntao glanced at Yue Shi who was kneeling there with his head lowered, then quickly walked up to Bai Qingyan and handed her the letter.
She took the letter and opened it…
In the letter, Xiao Rongyan said that only he and two generals of Yan State, Zhu and Chu, knew about the ambush plan he had formulated with Ayu. After Bai Qingyu and Bai Jinse got into trouble, Xiao Rongyan immediately arrested the two and interrogated them severely. Only then did he find out that General Chu was worried that after taking Yunjing, the next country to be destroyed by the Great Zhou would be Yan State. Therefore, he sold out the Great Zhou army to Xiliang, in order to let Xiliang and the Great Zhou fight each other and let Yan State benefit.
When he had already led his troops to set up an ambush in Hebi, he received news from Wang Jiuzhou that Xiliang might have already known about the alliance between Da Zhou and Yan State and planned to lure Xiliang into an ambush. He ordered Yue Shi to ride a fast horse alone and intercepted Bai Qingyu who was leading the Xiliang army into the ambush on the way.
Bai Qingyu wanted to take advantage of the situation and didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
He said that Xiliang had learned that Yan and Da Zhou were planning to lure them into an ambush, and the intention was probably not just to provoke Da Zhou and cause it to attack Yunjing at all costs. The greater purpose was probably to destroy the alliance between Yan and Da Zhou. It would be best to take this opportunity to make Da Zhou attack Yan in anger, so as to give Yunjing a chance to breathe.
He re-formulated the plan and told Xiao Rongyan to just cooperate with him. Bai Qingyu’s plan was for himself and the Bai family army to pretend to be captured alive by Xiliang and brought to Yunjing, and then cooperate with him from inside and outside to take down Xiliang Yunjing.
They used fireworks as a signal, and as long as Bai Qingyu was ready, they would immediately set off the fireworks, and Bai Qingyu would find a way to open the north and east gates of Yunjing.
But in order to make Xiliang truly believe that their Xiliang strategy worked, he asked Yue Shi to tell Xiao Rongyan not to tell their brothers and sisters of the Bai family for the time being.
