Chapter 216 Just say no for no reason and it’s gone

The woman in front of me has a delicate face, but the dark circles under her lower eyelids and pale lips make her look sickly, especially her protruding cheekbones and sunken masseter muscles on both sides.

The word "skinny" is not an exaggeration at all. His empty eyes were like two bottomless holes, gloomy and terrifying.

Xu Ruqing never imagined that Concubine Guo Shu would look like this after not seeing her for just half a month.

"Ahem, cough, cough... I'm scared of you by my appearance. Don't be afraid. I'm here to ask you something." After saying that, Concubine Guo Shu shouted to Deacon Su: "Yun'er, show me your seat for the princess."

"yes."

Deacon Su ordered someone to carry a chair and place it in front of the bed tent, and Xu Ruqing sat on it.

She had no feelings for Concubine Guo Shu, but when she saw her appearance, Xu Ruqing still asked out of curiosity: "Why did the empress become like this?"

Concubine Guo Shu forced herself up and sat up: "This is exactly why I came to you. To be honest, I have been like this for half a month. At first, I thought it was a bit cold due to the change of seasons in early spring, so I took some medicine and it was better."

Well, who would have thought that my bones are getting worse day by day and getting more and more serious... I know that you know medical skills, so I ask you to come and help me."

"Since you are feeling unwell, shouldn't your Majesty seek medical advice from an imperial physician? Why go all the way to see me?"

Concubine Guo Shu lowered her eyes and seemed to sigh: "I am already more than a month pregnant. In order to ensure the safety of the fetus in my belly, few people know about it. You also know that this palace looks grand, but it eats people without spitting out their bones.

In this place, intrigues and deceptions are unpredictable. Soon after the imperial doctor diagnoses my pulse, the news of my pregnancy will definitely be spread, and there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen."

Xu Ruqing understood, "In that case, please stretch out your hand and let me have a look."

Concubine Guo Shuqing stretched out her hand in cooperation, and Xu Ruqing felt her pulse carefully. When her fingers touched her daughter's pulse, Xu Ruqing's face suddenly darkened.

Concubine Guo Shu noticed the subtle expression on Xu Ruqing's face, so she asked tentatively: "How is it? How is the diagnosis?"

Xu Ruqing put down Concubine Guo Shu's hand: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What do you mean by this? There is no reason to lie about the condition of your illness. Of course I must listen to the truth."

Xu Ruqing organized her words before saying: "If you want to hear the truth, I must promise you not to take this matter out on me, and you must be mentally prepared."

This whetted Concubine Guo Shu's appetite even more, and she said anxiously: "I agree to whatever you say, but tell me what it is exactly!"

Xu Ruqing's face was solemn: "What you look like is not a symptom of wind and cold, but a lack of proper care after the miscarriage, which resulted in your body becoming increasingly weak and weak."

Concubine Guo Shu didn't react after hearing this: "What did you say, miscarriage?"

"Yes, to put it simply, the queen's child is no longer here."

"What..." Concubine Guo Shu touched her belly in disbelief: "How is this possible? If it is a miscarriage, how could I not know about it? I drink anti-fetal medicine every day and I have never seen redness. How can it be possible that I have a miscarriage!"

After saying that, Concubine Guo Shu raised her eyes and looked at Xu Ruqing with hatred: "I have given birth to two children for the emperor after all. If I don't even have this bit of common sense, my life will be in vain for decades. What do you mean by saying that!"

Xu Ruqing knew this would happen, so she stopped talking nonsense and stood up to leave: "If you don't believe me, you can find someone else who knows medical skills to see you. I'm just doing my duty as a doctor. I'm leaving."

"stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards outside the door raised their swords and rushed in, blocking Xu Ruqing's way.

"You cursed my unborn child in unison. You are so vicious and vicious. How can I let you go so easily?"

Xu Ruqing sighed silently, thinking that the woman in the back house was really crazy. "My dear, don't forget what you promised me just now."

"Hmph, the dead are alive. Whether I want you to be a blessing or a curse is not all decided by a single thought. If you don't explain it clearly to me today, you will never leave Peach Blossom Garden!

"

Xu Ruqing's eyes turned cold, "Your Majesty, you want to explain, okay, I'll give it to you." As she said that, she came to the bed in three steps and two steps at a time, and couldn't help but lift up the quilt covering Concubine Guo Shu.

"What are you doing!"

Xu Ruqing ignored her yelling and only heard a striking "tearing" sound. Guo Shufei's loose clothes were torn to pieces, and then her flat and smooth lower abdomen was exposed to the sight of the two of them.

She forced Concubine Guo's hand to put on her belly, "It only takes three months for the fetus to take shape in the abdomen. After that, there will be fetal movement and fetal heartbeat. Your belly has been silent for so long. Do you really have no doubt at all?"

Xu Ruqing's eyes were so fierce and terrifying that Concubine Guo Shu was shocked.

As she said, she had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. The occasional fetal movement had disappeared, and even her bulging belly had shrunk for some time. But she had always been cautious and had never had any accidents. How could such a good child

He would just say no and it would be gone for no reason!

Guo Shufei stroked her belly like crazy, "How could this happen? Where is my child? Where did my child go..."

Deacon Su heard the noise and came in from outside. When he saw Concubine Guo Shu, who was unconscious and mumbling to herself on the bed, she walked up quickly and said, "My Majesty, what's the matter with you?"

"My child, my child..."

Xu Ruqing looked at everything in front of her calmly. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business: "Concubine Shu is in frail health. It's best not to be exposed to cold food and eat spicy food in the past six months. I still have things to deal with, so I won't bother you here."

It’s time to take a rest and say goodbye.”

Deacon Su didn't say anything, and casually called a palace maid to lead Xu Ruqing out of the palace.

Zhiqu followed Xu Ruqing, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then said: "Princess, looking at Concubine Shu, it really doesn't look like she is lying. If she didn't become popular, then why did her child disappear?"

"How do I know this? Concubine Shu herself said that the palace is a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones. I'm sure some concubine in the harem got the news in advance and used special means to abort the child while Concubine Shu was not paying attention.

Maybe."

"Concubine Shu is really pitiful. She was almost forty and finally got pregnant again, but this happened."

Xu Ruqing raised her eyebrows: "She is pitiful, and am I not pitiful for your princess? Don't forget, I almost went to jail because of her last time. If Queen Zhao hadn't taken the blame later, I wouldn't be where I am now.

So free."

Zhiqu pursed his lips and said, "Yes, the princess is right. It was my slave who spoke carelessly."

"Anyway, don't make this matter public, so as not to cause bad trouble for yourself."

"yes."
