Lin Yiwan immediately walked up to her and said, "Let me take your pulse first!"
Madam Du quickly refused: "No, my wrists are covered with abscesses and I've applied medicine now. I must not dirty Madam Hou's hands. Don't you still have children? If this disease has a pathogenic effect and affects them again, it will be my fault!"
Madam Du also spoke up immediately, "Yes, our General's Mansion employs a doctor. The ointment he prepared for my mother must not be touched by ordinary people, otherwise they will be stained with bluish-brown marks that will never go away!"
Lin Yiwan frowned. Was this going to force her to give up?
It's a pity that she has never been like this!
She said calmly, "Madam, what a coincidence! I was thinking of seeing you, so I came fully prepared this time. I'm wearing sheepskin gloves, so they won't affect my skin in any way. Don't worry!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Du, who was sitting on the soft couch, felt her eyebrows twitch.
She didn't expect that Lin Yiwan would even wear sheepskin gloves. What should she do?
Perhaps because she hesitated for too long, Lin Yiwan began to urge her: "What's wrong? Does the old lady have any concerns? I promise not to tell anyone about your illness. Even if my father asks, I will keep it a secret for you!"
Old Madam Du's whole body was stiff. Now, she was being roasted on the fire.
She could only smile awkwardly and say, "Thank you for troubling Madam Hou!"
She nervously stretched out her wrist, a hint of nervousness flashing quietly in the depths of her eyes.
Lin Yiwan did see a lot of black herbs smeared on the skin of her wrist, and the smell was not very pleasant.
She took the pulse calmly, without any fluctuation in her expression.
After a moment, she realized that Madam Du was not lying. She was indeed sick because her pulse was too weak.
She spoke carefully, "Old Madam, how long have you had this skin ulcer?"
Madam Du sighed, "For over three years, I've been tortured beyond words. Even with the medicine I've applied, it's only a temporary solution. So, I've become even more reluctant to go out and see people, afraid that others might see me and dislike me!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "Since the doctors at home can't cure you, you should look for help outside. With your status, even if you seek help from the palace, the emperor will definitely not ignore you!"
Madam Du said with guilt: "How could I cause trouble to the emperor? Besides, I don't want anyone to see me like this!"
Madam Du Shao, who was standing next to her, also echoed, "I've long advised Mother to go and ask Prince Li for help, but not only did she refuse to listen, she even ordered me not to go either. If I don't obey, she will no longer recognize me as her daughter-in-law!"
Madam Du immediately interrupted her, "Mingfeng isn't the only soldier protecting his country. If everyone came to Prince Li with difficult matters, wouldn't he be so busy that he'd die?"
Mrs. Du argued with red eyes: "But you are sick!"
Lin Yiwan said, "Luckily I'm here. Let me first check how many wounds are on her body. I'll go back and make her some ointment!"
Madam Du was stunned: "Do you still need to check your body?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, if you don't check the whole body for the disease, you can't judge the dosage of the herbs. Old Madam, please undress first!"
Madam Du immediately showed hesitation: "This, this is too embarrassing!"
Lin Yiwan advised: "I'm a doctor, what are you afraid of? Besides, I'm your junior, so you don't have to worry too much!"
Mrs. Du had no choice but to open her clothes, revealing her horrifyingly mottled body.
Lin Yiwan reached out and touched her waist, and instantly her eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
After a moment, she concealed her emotions calmly and said softly: "Old Madam has suffered so much. I will definitely make you a good medicine as soon as possible!"
Madam Du said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Madam Hou!"
Lin Yiwan gave some further instructions before saying goodbye and leaving.
Mrs. Du Shao personally sent her off, and her attitude was very respectful.
When Lin Yiwan returned to Prince Li's Mansion, her expression suddenly became cold and ugly.
She found Prince Li and said, "Father, the old lady Du who stayed in the General's Mansion is a fake. I checked her body and she has never conceived a child!"
Prince Li was stunned and said, "How could that be? Du Mingfeng has never returned to the capital. Who can help him send Madam Du to the border?"
Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "It doesn't necessarily need Du Mingfeng to do it himself. If he really is collaborating with the enemy, then the barbarian spies will find ways to help him eliminate his worries!"
King Li's eyes darkened, and he suddenly guessed something.
He quickly said, "Wanwan, could it be that the barbarians have replaced his mother with someone else to force him to be betrayed?"
Lin Yiwan did not deny it, but this is a possibility.
However, no matter which speculation it is, there is solid evidence that Du Mingfeng betrayed us.
She urged Prince Li urgently, "Hurry up and send a message to Ah Yan. Tell him and my brother to be on the lookout for Du Mingfeng. Liuli City is in great danger!"
King Li did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered someone to deliver the message.
After everything was arranged, he looked at Lin Yiwan and asked, "How did you know that Madam Du had never conceived a child? Could you tell?"
Lin Yiwan nodded. "Women who have given birth will have stretch marks on their abdomens, but she doesn't have any. I also secretly felt her bones and there were no signs of her hip bones being opened. So I'm certain she's not Du Mingfeng's mother!"
Prince Li nodded with a complicated expression. Fortunately, Wanwan was very careful and attentive, otherwise, Zhan Yan and Fang Qingshan would have suffered a disaster on this trip.
He said in a serious tone: "In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I will send people to keep an eye on the Du family!"
Lin Yiwan did not stop him. After all, they still had to find out whether Du Mingfeng collaborated with the enemy actively or passively.
The next day was the full moon banquet for the third baby.
Early in the morning, the entire Li Wang Mansion was very lively.
Lin Yiwan looked at the three cute little kids in front of her. Each one looked like a New Year picture doll, so adorable.
Each wet nurse put them in a basket and took them quickly to the warm room where guests were received.
At this time, *** was at the front of the line. She was standing at the door looking forward to the appearance of the three little ones.
When she saw the nurses, she squinted her eyes happily: "Here they are, all the good kids are here!"
She took out three large red envelopes and stuffed them directly into the cradle: "My dear children, happy full moon! I gave you some silver. I hope you will have no worries about food and clothing in the future!"
Many noble ladies stood on tiptoe to see the thickness of the red envelope, thinking that there must be a lot of silver bills inside.
Otherwise, why would it be so bulging?
Next came the wife of the Left Prime Minister, who gave them three glittering golden lockets and hung them around their necks.
As for the palace, they also sent generous gifts, but the queen did not come in person because her two children caught a cold and she was worried that the disease would be passed on to Lin Yiwan's children.
At this time, there was a woman standing in the crowd. She was Bai Qiaoyin's cousin Luo Yunshang who came with her.
