This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 95: Fetus is too large

"Liu Bin and I are both from Jizhou, and we are from the same hometown. I think he is okay." Shen Meizhuang recalled that she heard Doctor Liu say a few days ago that the child was growing up very healthy, and a hint of joy appeared on her face.

"Really? Then I'd like to meet this imperial physician if I have a chance." Concubine Hua picked up the dishes nonchalantly.

An Lingrong noticed that Concubine Hua had a strange look on her face and she kept it in mind without saying anything.

"The imperial kitchen has put a lot of effort into these dishes." When Concubine Hua saw the dazzling array of dishes on the table, she realized that they were much better than those in her own Yikun Palace.

"Isn't it? The Emperor has issued an edict. Concubine Shen will be blessed with this baby. The Empress has also given many instructions. The imperial kitchen will send sea cucumbers to Concubine Shen in the morning to nourish her body." Concubine Jing replied with a smile, and picked up a piece of sea cucumber for Concubine Shen with the public chopsticks.

"The Queen is thoughtful." Concubine Hua had a feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what. All the women in the room had never given birth, and even if she had been pregnant, her memory was long gone.

Logically speaking, pregnant women should eat and drink well to nourish their bodies, but after hearing the word "Liu Bin", Concubine Hua felt that everything was not good.

Why does Liu Ben appear in this life, and who brought him into the palace?

"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked Empress Hua yet. Thanks to your protection, even during my house arrest, the imperial kitchen did not deduct my food. Thank you very much, Empress." Shen Meizhuang finally had the opportunity to express her gratitude.

"You're too polite, sister. It's just a piece of cake for me." Concubine Hua felt something was wrong. Although she reminded Huang Guiquan not to deduct Concubine Shen's share, she didn't remind him in such detail. When did Huang Guiquan become so serious about his work?

After dinner, Shen Meizhuang yawned and said she was sleepy and wanted to go back for a nap.

During this meal, An Lingrong felt very uncomfortable eating as she looked at Concubine Hua's expression.

"Wait a minute." Concubine Hua finally couldn't help it, slammed her chopsticks on the table, and said directly, "Songzhi, ask Zhou Ninghai to go to the Imperial Hospital to find Wen Shichu. If Wen Shichu hasn't come back yet, find his apprentice Wei Lin for me. Tell him that Ruyi in Xianfu Palace is ill, and ask him to come and see her."

Hua Fei has doubts in her mind, which must be resolved immediately, otherwise she will not be able to sleep or eat.

An Lingrong looked at Concubine Hua quietly, as if thinking about something.

Shen Meizhuang looked bewildered.

Concubine Jing pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Concubine Hua with a look of disbelief on her face.

The palace maids moved the meal aside, and Wei Lin rushed over from the Imperial Hospital carrying a medicine box.

Wen Shichu hasn't come back yet.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Hua, Her Majesty Jing, Lady Shen, and Lady An." Wei Lin bowed and greeted them one by one.

Wei Lin was originally a disciple of Wen Shichu, and he only did some work in the Imperial Hospital, collecting and sorting medicinal materials.

Nowadays, he can only treat concubines or palace maids of lower ranks.

It was the first time for Wei Lin to arrive at Xianfu Palace and see so many concubines there, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Wei Lin's intuition told him that usually nothing good would happen when so many women were present.

"I asked you to come here, not for anything else, just to check on Concubine Shen's fetus." Concubine Hua sat on a high seat and spoke slowly. Her tone was so cold that it made people nervous.

"Yes." Wei Lin didn't ask why, he just did it.

Concubine Shen hesitantly placed her wrist on the medicine pillow.

Wei Lin knelt down and took the patient's pulse for a moment, and beads of sweat condensed on Wei Lin's forehead.

Concubine Hua was well aware of Wen Shichu's medical skills. She had once heard Wen Shichu mention his apprentice Wei Lin in Concubine Duan's palace. With an excellent master, it seemed likely that the apprentice's medical skills would not be too bad.

Looking at Wei Lin's reaction, Concubine Hua knew that the situation was not good. It seemed that any skilled imperial physician could see the situation Concubine Shen was in. No wonder the other party wanted to transfer Wen Shichu out of the palace.

"What's the matter?" Concubine Hua glanced at Wei Lin and spoke coldly.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Miss Shen's pregnancy, it's just that the fetus is a little big." Wei Lin carefully told the truth.

Hearing this, Shen Meizhuang clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Hua Fei, who knew the situation, felt relieved instead. Knowing that if there was a problem, it could be solved in time was better than being kept in the dark.

An Lingrong saw pregnant concubines in the palace one after another, and something happened to them one after another, which made her very nervous.

"What will happen if the fetus is big?" asked Concubine Jing.

"My queen, if the fetus is too large, the pregnant woman may suffer from dystocia and exhaustion during delivery. It's only five months now, but the fetus is already more than six months old. If it is a full-term birth, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, just tell me what the situation is." Hua Fei said.

Seeing that Shen Meizhuang was nervous, An Lingrong reached out and held Shen Meizhuang's hand.

"The fetus may drag the mother to death, or it may be too large to be delivered and die in the womb." Wei Lin could only try to remain calm as he stated his diagnosis.

When Shen Meizhuang heard the news, she was so frightened that she almost couldn't breathe. Fortunately, An Lingrong was by her side and supported Shen Meizhuang.

Concubine Hua glanced at her from the side and felt more confident about An Lingrong.

"But don't worry, Concubine Shen. The baby is only five months old now. As long as he eats less and moves more, the baby will be born safely in five months."

Wei Lin thought of what his master had taught him before. How to explain the patient's condition tactfully and sincerely without scaring the patient is also a part of medical skills. He still hasn't mastered it well enough.

"I feel relieved now that the imperial physician has said so. But Lady Shen has not only been eating a lot lately, but has also been a little sleepy. I wonder if this is normal?" Concubine Hua asked cautiously, and Concubine Jing's heart rose to her throat.

After hearing Concubine Hua's question, Wei Lin carefully felt Concubine Shen's pulse for the sake of caution before answering:

"Don't worry, Madam, there should be nothing wrong. Lady Shen has been sleepy lately, probably because she has eaten too much and taken too many supplements. In the future, she should eat a light diet and take more walks in the Imperial Garden, and her sleepiness will naturally disappear."

"But a doctor said before that I am weak and the baby is not getting enough nutrition in my stomach. I should eat more nourishing food."

Shen Meizhuang calmed down and recalled Liu Bin's words, as well as the sea cucumber and bird's nest porridge she had eaten every morning as a tonic. Shen Meizhuang felt that she had been cheated again!

"In my humble opinion, Lady Shen has been over-nourished and the fetus is a little big. I don't know which imperial physician made this diagnosis, and I am willing to confront him." Wei Lin is confident in his medical skills.

"No need for that. Please ask Doctor Wei to check if there is any problem with our lunch." Concubine Hua said.
