Chapter 178 Give Baoshu a younger brother or sister
Meng Qianqian also asked about Madam Wang's diet and daily life, mainly wanting to know whether Madam Wang and Censor Wang drank alcohol or took medicine.

Madam Wang said, "I did take medicine. Last time, Rou'er was rejected from the engagement, and I was sick for a while. The doctor prescribed some medicine for me. Later, when you came to see me, I recovered and never took it again. As for wine, I didn't drink a drop. Wang Daniu wouldn't drink it either."

Meng Qianqian is now calmer when she hears Wang Daniu's name.

She asked Mrs. Wang for the prescription at that time: "It is for replenishing qi and blood, and there will be no harm if you take it."

Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I feel relieved."

Meng Qianqian: "Are you feeling any other discomfort?"

Mrs. Wang said, "Except that I am more sleepy than usual, I have no discomfort. My menstrual period has not come, and I thought it was because my menstrual period had stopped. I asked the doctor to treat it for me."

When a woman reaches the age of 49, her menstrual period will stop.

Although Mrs. Wang is far from being old, there are many women who have stopped having menstruation early.

No wonder Mrs. Wang would rather suspect this than think that she was pregnant.

After the surprise, Mrs. Wang became a little worried: "Oh, I'm not prepared, will it be..."

Meng Qianqian understood what she meant, and held her hand and said, "Madam, your pulse is very good and you are in good health. There is no need to worry."

When Meng Qianqian came out of the house, the three girls immediately surrounded her.

Zhou Nanyan asked, "Sister Meng, is Aunt Wang pregnant?"

Meng Qianqian glanced at the three of them with a smile and said, "You are all going to be sisters."

Wang Rou smiled shyly and put her heart back into her stomach.

Lin Xiaoru nodded. She didn't smile, but several people could feel her happiness.

The most excited person was Zhou Nanyan. She said proudly, "From now on, I will no longer be the youngest one!"

She is the youngest among the four families, and she has to call everyone brother or sister.

When Censor Wang returned from court, he was overjoyed to learn that he had become a father again after sixteen years.

Meng Qianqian returned to the Governor's Mansion and shared the good news with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly.

Meng Qianqian: "Are you unhappy?"

Lu Yuan: "Others are happy to be fathers, why should I be happy?"

Baoshu staggered over and punched him.

Lu Yuan: “…”

Nanny Li was also in the room. When she heard about this, she couldn't help but wonder, "It's been a while since the young lady and her husband consummated their marriage. Is there no sign of pregnancy?"

Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan turned away at the same time in embarrassment.

Nanny Li took Baoshu into her arms and wiped her sweat with a handkerchief: "How about giving Miss Baoshu a brother or sister? Miss Baoshu, do you want a brother or a sister?"

Baoshu: "Chicken."

Aunt Li: "..."

Madam Wang's wedding made Aunt Li really jealous.

She decided to forgive her brother-in-law for his ridiculous behavior on the wedding night and let him stay in her room more often.

That night, a dish of venison soup, which warms the kidneys and strengthens yang, was added to the dinner table.

Under the supervision of the old lady, Lu Yuan drank it all without leaving a drop.

Being at an age full of vigor and vitality, as expected, Lu Yuan's nosebleed covered the bed.

When Nanny Wan came to tidy up the mattress early in the morning and saw bloodstains all over the bed, she understood immediately.

"Uncle, do you have hemorrhoids?"

Lu Yuan: That’s a nosebleed… a nosebleed!

Lu Yuan really stayed at home to recuperate, and Meng Qianqian asked the kitchen to make several large pots of heat-clearing tea for him.

That afternoon, Lu Yuan was sitting in the study, getting irritated by watching the kid tearing up his calligraphy, while drinking Meng Qianqian's heat-clearing tea to reduce the heat.

Suddenly, Steward Cen reported: "The emperor has arrived."

Lu Yuan said calmly: "What is he doing here? Didn't he cry enough last time?"

Steward Cen said awkwardly: "Uh...I want to invite His Majesty to the flower hall..."

Before he finished speaking, Zong Zhengxi appeared at the door of the study with a sad face. "Well, no need to invite me." Manager Cen tactfully withdrew.

Lu Yuan glanced at Zong Zhengxi and continued drinking tea.

Seeing that Lu Yuan ignored him, Zong Zhengxi found a chair and sat down.

He started crying before he even opened his mouth.

Lu Yuan frowned: "You are the emperor, how can you cry like this? Don't forget, you will be fifteen next month!"

Zong Zhengxi said aggrievedly: "Father is no longer able to do it——"

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly: "What happened?"

Zong Zhengxi cried until he was out of breath: "I didn't cry outside, I only cried when I came to you..."

Lu Yuan said seriously: "Let's talk business!"

Zong Zhengxi wiped his tears and sobbed, "Father has been in a coma for three days, and his breath is getting weaker and weaker. The doctors all said...Father will not survive tonight..."

Lu Yuan said coldly: "What do you want to see me for? Go find the Prime Minister."

Zong Zhengxi cried, "I wanted to find him...but I don't know what happened...I came to you while walking..."

Lu Yuan left the study.

Meng Qianqian was standing in the corridor holding a pot of Qinghuo tea.

She heard the conversation just now.

Zong Zhengxi was so sad, the emperor must be really critically ill.

It is not surprising that the news did not get out. As it concerns the national system, we must be cautious in order to avoid causing unnecessary unrest and panic among the people.

"Want to take a look?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

Lu Yuan stared and said, "I'll find someone to check it out first."

He called Yu Zichuan, gave him a few instructions, and then Yu Zichuan left.

About an hour later, Yu Zichuan brought back a letter.

Lu Yuan handed it to Meng Qianqian directly: "It's for you."

"I?"

Meng Qianqian sat down on the stone bench in the yard and opened the letter.

The above records the retired emperor's symptoms, pulse, diagnosis and treatment plans given by the imperial doctors in the past few days.

It can be said to be a fairly complete medical record.

Meng Qianqian read it carefully and said to Lu Yuan, "'Fever and thirst, but no aversion to cold, is a febrile disease.' The pulse is floating and rapid, which is also consistent with a febrile disease. The prescription prescribed by the Imperial Hospital is appropriate for the condition. Logically, it shouldn't be getting worse."

Lu Yuan thought for a moment: "Poisoned?"

As expected of a big shot who has experienced all kinds of intrigues, his guess is so bold.

Meng Qianqian said: "The possibility of poisoning is quite high, if the medicine has not been tampered with."

Lu Yuan asked, "If someone had tampered with it, would you be able to tell?"

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Go into the palace and take a look. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Afterwards, he went to the study and said to Zong Zhengxi, whose eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying, "Stop crying and go to the palace."

"Oh." Zong Zhengxi followed obediently.

Along the way, Meng Qianqian asked him some questions about the emperor, most of which were related to his illness and diet and daily life.

Under the suppression of Lu Yuan's bloodline, Zong Zhengxi answered every detail.

At this point, Meng Qianqian could almost rule out the possibility that the medicine had been tampered with by someone.

Is it really poisoning?

At the gate of the palace, the guards were extremely surprised to see Lu Yuan.

But perhaps because the emperor was present, or because Lu Yuan still had some influence, no one dared to stop him.
