Chapter 199 Medicine
Qin Zhi, who had been handling government affairs in Zhaozheng Hall for a day, was having a meal.
An eunuch came in with a hunched back and reported in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has sent over some chicken soup."
Qin Zhi in the hall paused in his action of picking up food. He didn't like drinking chicken soup, he only liked to give chicken soup to people.
"Send her in."
Qin Zhi didn't even raise his head and continued eating.
The eunuch got the answer and flew away like the wind.
Not long after, the sound of silver bells tinkling came from outside the door. Qin Zhi's mind instantly flashed back to the time when Bai Liangyu was serving him in the emperor's bedchamber, with a red silk thread with several clusters of silver bells tied around her slender ankle.
A little bit dissolute.
"His Majesty!"
Before seeing the person, he heard her voice. A faint fragrance followed a beautiful figure and brushed his face. Qin Zhi didn't dislike it.
"I have seen your majesty. May your majesty be well and healthy."
Bai Liangyu wore a lotus-colored skirt with a silver Huasheng hairpin in the shape of a pair of lotus pods on her hair, with tassels extending from it adorning her forehead.
The earrings are small pink pomegranates hanging under the tassels.
The outfit is on the line of mourning rules. It can be said to be excessive, or not. It’s okay too. It doesn’t matter. It looks good.
"I'm safe."
After Bai Liangyu stood up, he took the can of chicken soup out of the food box and gently poured it into the bowl.
Qin Zhi just glanced at the chicken soup in the bowl, his eyes flickered, "I don't like chicken soup, you can take it back and drink it yourself."
Bai Liangyu felt a flash of grievance in her heart. She had spent a long time cooking this bowl of chicken soup, and had failed many times before she finally succeeded.
"Then I can learn what kind of soup your majesty likes to drink." Bai Liangyu moved forward, intending to snuggle up to Qin Zhi.
Qin Zhi stood up just at that moment, moving away from the body she was leaning against.
"I don't like drinking soup." Qin Zhi raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
Seeing that Bai Liangyu almost fell headfirst, Qin Zhi reached out, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up.
He really didn't mean it.
"Your Majesty!" Bai Liangyu's voice was a little resentful.
"Your Majesty, I want a child." Bai Liangyu said bluntly.
"I guess I can tell."
This outfit, the twin lotus, the pomegranate, the fragrant breeze, and the bowl of chicken soup on the table.
"Zhang Deli, go call the imperial physician to come and take a look at what's going on with that bowl of chicken soup." Qin Zhi let go of Bai Liangyu's wrist, held her chin, and glanced sternly at Bai Liangyu's eyes filled with tears and her pitiful expression.
If it's something to liven up the atmosphere, he doesn't need it.
If it was for conditioning to aid pregnancy, Qin Zhi had seen many women who chose to take medicine on their own after not getting pregnant for a long time. This was the first time that someone chose to come to him for conditioning.
Qin Zhi was so angry that he almost laughed.
It would have been fine if he had no children, but he already had more than ten.
Does he need a son?
He has no shortage.
Bai Liangyu doesn't need to be in such a hurry to give birth to a prince.
Qin Zhi let go of the hand that was holding Bai Liangyu's chin, turned around with an indifferent look and sat down on the throne.
Soon, several imperial doctors arrived.
"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you."
"No need to be polite, go check out that bowl of soup, it smells like medicine I've never seen before."
In order to take precautionary measures, the concubines in the harem would avoid behaviors that might appear suspicious, such as putting on shoes in a melon field or adjusting a hat under a plum tree, when they brought soup to the emperor.
Bai Liangyu was the first one to do this. He sent chicken soup with an unfamiliar medicinal taste to a concubine. This kind of thing could not be tolerated.
Bai Liangyu was lying at the foot of the stairs, sobbing softly, his heart filled with sorrow.
"Your Majesty, this chicken soup is not harmful to your body. Why would I choose to hurt Your Majesty?"
She lowered her head, clenched her hands tightly, and her body trembled slightly.
The imperial physician at the side poured out all the dregs of the chicken soup in the jar.
He sniffed the chicken soup and laid out the soup residue one by one to see if the taste of the chicken soup in the bowl matched the ingredients of the soup residue. He also sniffed to see if any of the soup residue had been scooped out and thrown away.
After a long time, the imperial doctors who were checking the soup pondered for a moment and bowed to Qin Zhi.
"explain."
"Your Majesty, there is no poison in this chicken soup. As for the medicinal taste of this bowl of chicken soup, I remembered a rare prescription. That prescription is used to treat the incompatibility between men and women and the difficulty in giving birth to children."
The doctor lowered his head and frowned.
"Men and women are not compatible? What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that the man and the woman are emotionally incompatible."
"I think I understand."
"Your Majesty, medicine is poisonous. Some things don't need to be forced. You don't need a son. You must not harm your body for the sake of currying favor with the emperor."
Qin Zhi was almost laughing out of anger again.
Are you blind? Didn't you see that the concubine you mentioned was lying on the ground crying?
