They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Chapter 98: Bad Luck

Lu Qingshuang looked at her expression, glanced at her, and suddenly exclaimed.

"Ah! Sister Wei, your hand! Why is it bleeding?"

She hurriedly called the maid to come and apply medicine.

"This is the best imperial medicine. It stops bleeding quickly and won't leave scars. Look at your hands, they are as beautiful as silk and as smooth as cream. It's just like what the Book of Songs says."

The maid carefully rubbed the medicine and applied it on Wei Fuxue's fingers.

As soon as the cool medicine touched the skin, it caused a burning pain that quickly penetrated into the heart through the ten fingers.

Wei Fuxue endured the pain and listened to Lu Qingshuang's voice floating into his ears, sometimes far away and sometimes near.

"In terms of beauty, there are few people in the entire capital who can rival your sister. I am ashamed of myself."

"I know Sister Wei is sad, but she has to live no matter what, right? Even if not for herself, she has to consider Qixia and the women and children of the Wei family. Sister, don't blame me for speaking harshly. I am doing this for your own good. As the saying goes, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear. I hope Sister Wei can cheer up again."

At this point, Wei Fuxue finally responded.

"Thank you, Princess. I will remember your words."

Lu Qingshuang stopped there and did not continue to persuade her.

At this time, there was a noise outside, and a servant came to report that Doctor Zeng was coming.

Lu Qingshuang got up and went out.

After a while, the maid brought Doctor Zeng in.

Doctor Zeng stepped forward, felt the patient's pulse, and bowed as per routine.

"Congratulations, you are already one month pregnant."

Doctor Zeng had never met Wei Fuxue and did not know her identity. He thought she was a woman that Li Ce had kept outside.

But I didn't expect that as soon as these words came out, the faces of several people in the room changed.

Wei Fuxue trembled all over.

But then, Dr. Zeng changed the subject.

"It's just that this child is not conceived well. Didn't this aunt have a miscarriage before? Her body hasn't recovered from the damage yet, and now she's pregnant again. This is a huge harm to both the child and the mother."

Wei Fuxue touched her lower abdomen with trembling hands.

This child came at the wrong time...

Now that the Prince Qi's palace is gone and Liang'er is dead, Li Jian probably won't live long either.

She also has a screen...

If there was only Ping'er, the emperor might be able to accommodate her, but if there was another child...

There was a fierce struggle in Wei Fuxue's eyes.

After a long time, she took a deep breath.

"Please, doctor, prescribe a dose of medicine to induce abortion."

It took all her strength to say this.

Doctor Zeng looked at her with some surprise.

"Have you thought about it?"

Wei Fuxue nodded.

Doctor Zeng touched the short beard on his chin, raised his eyebrows, said nothing more, and went to the side to write a prescription.

After writing the prescription, he turned around and looked at Wei Fuxue again.

"It's easy to have a miscarriage in the early stages of pregnancy. This recipe is relatively mild and won't cause too much harm to the body. You just need to rest well and take lots of warm tonics afterwards."

After saying this, Doctor Zeng stood up and left.

The maid held the prescription and went out terrified.

She must report such a big thing to her master.

The Crown Princess frowned after hearing this, and then suddenly laughed as if she had thought of something.

"fair enough."

She whispered to herself and instructed the maid.

"Don't tell anyone else about this. Serve well and go back!"

The maid felt relieved after hearing her master's words, and went to get the medicine with the prescription in hand.

On the other side, Doctor Zeng walked out of the main courtyard and went to the front yard, but met Xiuchun near the second gate.

Xiuchun has always been very respectful to Doctor Zeng, and when she saw him she immediately trotted over to greet him.

"Doctor Zeng, why are you coming from over there? Is the Crown Princess feeling unwell?"

Doctor Zeng shook his head.

"She's not the Crown Princess, she's a stranger. By the way, why are you not in Wutong Courtyard taking care of your master? What are you doing here?"

Xiuchun raised a piece of paper in her hand.

"There are a few medicines missing from the storeroom, and I'm just about to go to the pharmacy to get them!"

As the two were talking, a little maid ran over from the main courtyard.

"Doctor Zeng!"

The little maid ran over.

"I, your servant, will go with you to get the medicine."

The little maid ran so fast that she was out of breath. When she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, the prescription in her hand fell to the ground.

There was a flash in Xiuchun's eyes. She moved sideways to block the two people's view, then bent down and picked up the prescription.

Then she turned around and handed over the folded paper with a smile.

The little maid took it and thanked her.

"It's just a small matter. I also need to go to the pharmacy. Let's go together!"

As they spoke, the three of them walked through the second door.

Xiuchun walked slowly at the end. When there was no one around, she quietly opened the paper in her hand and glanced at it.

When they arrived at the pharmacy, Dr. Zeng nodded to them and turned to go to the courtyard next door.

Xiuchun and the maidservant placed the prescription on the counter at the same time. Then, smilingly, she took the maidservant aside to sit down and drink tea and chat.

The little maid was very vigilant. Many of the questions asked by Xiuchun made her very nervous. She kept thinking about how to answer without any mistakes, and her attention was all on Xiuchun.

After a while, the apprentice shouted "OK" and put the two packets of medicine on the counter, with their respective prescriptions underneath.

Xiuchun went over first and swapped the positions of the two prescriptions without leaving any trace.

"I go first."

She raised the prescription and medicine bag in her hand and left first.

The little maid wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling relieved. Without thinking too much, she took her share and left.

Xiuchun walked quickly with the medicine bag and returned to Wutong Courtyard in no time.

After handing the medicine bag to Xing'er, she eagerly went into the bedroom.

"Liang Di! Guess what I found?!"

Jiang Wanyue was half leaning on the bed with a book in her hand. She raised her head when she heard this.

"You're so anxious, did you find something extraordinary?"

Xiuchun rushed to the bedside, glanced around, motioned for everyone else to go out, and then spoke in a low voice.

"I just met a maid from the main courtyard. She said she was going to the pharmacy to get some medicine. I took a look at the prescription when she wasn't paying attention. It was clearly an abortion drug!"

Xiuchun and Jiang Wanyue have been studying medicine with Aunt Sun for some time. Although they have not yet mastered the art of taking a pulse, they are well versed in various pharmacologies and prescriptions, especially those related to women's diseases.

Xiuchun understood the recipe at a glance.

Jiang Wanyue was very surprised.

"Abortion pills? Main hospital? What's going on?"

She was puzzled.

There is only the Crown Princess in the main courtyard, and no other concubines.

Could it be that she is the Crown Princess’ new concubine?

But that’s not right!

No matter who it is, if she is really pregnant, she would be very happy. Why would she want to abort the baby?

To say that it was done to harm people is even more impossible.

No one would go to the pharmacy to get medicine so blatantly.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through Jiang Wanyue's mind.

She sat up straight abruptly, her expression slightly frozen.
