Everyone in my harem is talented

The autumn wind took away the summer heat, and the weather became cool and pleasant. In September, Qin Zhi moved back to Zhaozheng Hall from Qingliang Hall.

As soon as the court was dismissed, Qin Zhi saw Zhang Deli hurried over to congratulate him:

"Your Majesty, at the end of the Mao hour and the beginning of the Chen hour this morning, Concubine Rou gave birth to the eldest prince. Both mother and child are safe. The eldest prince weighed a full eight pounds and two ounces. His crying was deafening and he is very healthy. I congratulate Your Majesty and congratulate Your Majesty on the birth of your son!"

"The whole palace will be rewarded."

"The eldest prince is so heavy, and Concubine Rou has been giving birth for a day and a night. How is her health?"

"When the queen gave birth to the eldest prince, she had bleeding (hemorrhage). Fortunately, there were two great doctors, Dr. Mo and Dr. Zhang, sitting in Lanlin Palace. Dr. Mo used acupuncture to stop the bleeding for the queen. The queen is a little weak now."

"What do the two old doctors say?"

"The two old doctors suggest that Concubine Rou stay in bed to recuperate, think less, move less, and avoid being exposed to the wind. You can rest for two months before coming out. You can eat more medicinal foods to replenish your qi and blood during the confinement period."

Qin Zhi frowned and said:

"Zhang Deli, ask someone to transfer 30% of the sea cucumbers and shark fins from Qingzhou, the blood swallows from Yazhou, the red dates from Yongzhou, and the ginseng from Jizhou to Rou Guipin's Lanlin Palace. Then go and ask Dr. Mo and Dr. Zhang in person what other blood-replenishing herbs and foods the Lanlin Palace needs, and supply them all to Rou Guipin."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Zhang Deli gave instructions to the young eunuch, he followed Qin Zhi's dragon chariot.

"Why are you still standing by my side instead of going to see the two old doctors?"

"Your Majesty, when I came here, I saw Doctor Mo and Doctor Zhang waiting for you outside Zhaozheng Palace. I thought that if I followed you back to Zhaozheng Palace, I would just meet the two old doctors."

Qin Zhi looked puzzled. Was there something wrong with Liu Yiren's body? Or was there something wrong with the eldest prince?

"Your Majesty, do you want to go to Lanlin Palace to see the Crown Prince and Concubine Rou first, or go back to Zhaozheng Palace first?"

Qin Zhi glanced at Zhang Deli and asked, "Did the Queen Mother go to visit the eldest prince?"

"The Empress Dowager visited Concubine Rou and has gone back."

---------------

The two old doctors, Zhang and Mo, were waiting anxiously outside the Zhaozheng Hall, pacing back and forth, looking up in the direction of the Yuzheng Hall from time to time.

Their brows were all furrowed and they looked a little nervous.

Seeing Qin Zhi's imperial carriage approaching from afar, he hurried forward to pay his respects.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you! May your Majesty be well and healthy!"

"I congratulate your majesty on the birth of your son!"

"Get up and go into the hall to talk."

Qin Zhi strode into the hall, and the two old doctors hurried to follow.

"Give me a seat."

"Speak now! What do you want to say to my face?"

"His Majesty!"

The two old doctors looked at each other, and old doctor Zhang quietly reached out and pushed old doctor Mo.

Doctor Mo stumbled and said with an embarrassed look:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou has been seriously injured by the birth. She won't live long. She can only be nourished by medicinal food and cannot sleep with you anymore."

"How long does she have?"

"Your Majesty, if there is an adequate supply of various precious medicines and a continuous supply of ginseng, it will take more than half a year, or less than a year at most, to keep your energy up."

It's a pity that after more than half a year or a year, the eldest prince still hasn't been able to recognize people.

Qin Zhi shook his head with some regret.

The eldest prince's adoptive mother is probably going to get a great bargain.

"I understand. What else?" Qin Zhi looked at the old doctor Zhang who was still a little hesitant.

"Your Majesty, Lao Mo and I have been following the medicinal diet that Concubine Rou Gui ate during her pregnancy. Logically, the eldest prince's body should not be so large that it directly caused Concubine Rou Gui to have a difficult labor and hemorrhage. I took Concubine Rou Gui's pulse and found that she seemed to have taken something to keep her alive."

"Hanging on? Isn't it the ginseng in the delivery room?"

Doctor Mo stroked his goatee and shook his head: "No, I think what the Majesty ate is not a good thing. It can save her life but hinders me from saving her life."

"Maybe it can be found out?"

The two old doctors looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I have never seen such a strange medicine."

Qin Zhi lowered his eyelashes, tapped the imperial desk lightly, and said:

"Zhang Deli, go see the two imperial doctors off!"

"Wei Chen retire."
