Chapter 65: Imperial Hospital

Chapter 65: Imperial Hospital
Yihuan was in better spirits, and accompanied by Madam Ulanara, she began to move around in the mansion. On this day in the garden, she happened to meet Li and Hongyun running around.

After Li greeted Yihuan and nodded to Lady Ulanara, Hongyun walked with his short legs and greeted Yihuan in a baby voice.

"Hongyun pays his respects to his mother."

Yihuan smiled and nodded, raising her hand to signal him to stand up: "What are you playing at, Hongyun?"

"Mother, Hongyun is picking flowers. One for mother and one for sister." After saying this, Hongyun looked at Yihuan a little embarrassedly and said, "These two flowers have owners. Hongyun will pick another one for mother."

Yihuan quickly stopped him: "Mother doesn't want to wear flowers today, how about this, you recite two lines of the new poem you learned for her?"

When he heard that he had to recite a poem, Hongyun's face twisted instantly. He swayed left and right, and finally held up two fingers: "Just recite two lines, okay?"

"Okay, just one sentence is fine." Yihuan held back her laughter. The child was so adorable.

Hongyun thought for a moment, then shook his head and recited: "I am hoeing the field at noon, and my sweat is dripping... my sweat is dripping... my sweat is dripping into the soil under the field."

Yihua saw that Hongyun was indeed not familiar with the words and did not want to embarrass him: "Good boy, go and play."

Li's face gradually became stern. It was just a simple five-character quatrain, and he still couldn't memorize it after almost ten days of teaching. Was this child born with dullness?
Nanny Jin personally looked after Hongyun who was running around happily, while Li and Yihuan had a few words.

"I heard that Fu Jin was not feeling well some time ago. After seeing her today, I know that the rumor was wrong."

Ulanara wanted to speak but held back. Yihuan just found it funny. This person said such words in front of her. Could it be that Li was still unhappy now that she was well?

Yihuan nodded, agreeing: "Rumors can't be taken seriously."

Li snorted softly, "Madam, please go shopping. I will take my leave now."

Mrs. Ulanara saw Li walking away, and then she spoke: "This person has a straightforward personality."

Yihuan nodded: "My Lord had appreciated this good point of her before, but when she was young, it was called naivety. Now that she is a mother, she is still like this, which is just pure stupidity."

"Her favor has gradually faded over the years, but I plan to talk to you about it and decide on her status as a concubine." Yihuan said, "Rather than waiting for you to take a step forward and have the emperor directly grant her a concubine of noble birth, it would be better to let her take it."

Mrs. Ulanara agreed with this.

"Fujin, the emperor has ordered that the director of the Imperial Hospital and Doctor Qin are here to check your pulse." Eunuch A Bao came running to deliver the message, "The director is in the front hall, my lady, please be careful where you step."

"But it was arranged by the master?" Yihuan was a little puzzled. The head of the court always listened to Kangxi and couldn't even invite Yinzhen. Why did he suddenly come today?

A Bao shook his head: "I just asked around and it was an order from Eunuch Liang in the palace. I wonder if it was from our eldest prince."

Yihuan's heart ached: "How could this child be so foolish!"

After receiving the order, the director of the hospital took Qin Taiyi to learn about Yihua's condition and carefully read the pulse records during this period. It is said that everyone has their own specialties. He can be the director of the hospital, which makes him almost an all-round talent. He fully recognized Qin Taiyi's medication. However, he always felt that this pulse record was familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but it was too long and he couldn't remember it, or maybe he remembered it wrongly.

Thinking of this, the director saw Yihua walking slowly with the support of others. She looked much more energetic than a few days ago, but compared with a normal pregnant woman, her hair was dry, her lips were dry, and her eyes were cloudy. She looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness.

The director suddenly opened his eyes wide. The woman in front of him gradually overlapped with the noble lady in his memory. Both of them were equally thin, and in contrast, their bellies looked very full.

It was as if all the blood and nutrients in the woman's body flowed to this child. The sharp contrast was unforgettable.

The overly intense emotion caused the director to knock over the teacup. The sound of the porcelain cup breaking brought him back to his senses. He immediately knelt down and apologized: "I have lost my manners. Please forgive me, Fourth Lady."

Yihua motioned for Abao to help him up: "Doctor Ma, your condition is serious. It was just an accident. Please get up quickly."

Doctor Ma looked at Yihuan again and again. Yihuan was puzzled: "Doctor Ma, is there something wrong with me?"

Doctor Qin also felt that his boss was acting strangely, and immediately took over the conversation: "In reply to the Fourth Lady, the two of us were ordered by the Emperor to diagnose your pulse. The Director of the Court has always been cautious. He was observing, smelling, asking and palpating. Just now, the Director of the Court was observing."

Yihuan nodded: "Then I wonder what the Dean saw?"

The hospital was finally brought to his senses after Qin Taiyi repeatedly signaled: "You don't look like an ordinary woman vomiting during pregnancy, but rather like you have come into contact with something unclean. Let me feel your pulse."

Yihuan raised her hand: "Please."

After half a cup of tea, the director's hands were shaking. He asked, "Fourth Lady, please forgive me for being so rude. Do you feel that you just want to sleep and vomit when you eat? The child is more active, the number of times he changes clothes at night has increased significantly, and he is afraid of the cold."

"The imperial physician is indeed an expert. He described my symptoms without any fear." Yihua's heart sank. Even if she was confused, she knew that her reaction was abnormal. "Then I wonder what the imperial physician's conclusion is?"

Doctor Ma wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I have seen your face and pulse condition, and you are now in good condition. As long as you maintain this condition, you will be fine when you give birth."

"It's just that you have been deficient for a while, and your body is too weak, so the baby looks a little big. You must be active during this period to replenish your energy. Eat more and smaller meals appropriately, and maybe it will be okay." Doctor Ma's words were a little obscure, and Yihuan didn't quite understand.

Mrs. Ulanara stood up at once: "The imperial physician is saying that Fu Jin might have a difficult delivery?"

Doctor Ma immediately comforted her, "It's just possible. The wife's baby is still more than three months old. If she takes good care of herself, she may turn the bad into good luck."

"Thanks for your good wishes." Yihua forced a pale smile. She felt a little pain in her stomach now. "Do you want a prescription?"

"Dr. Qin has carefully considered the medication he prescribed." Doctor Ma shook his head. "You can take it first. I'll adjust the dosage after a follow-up visit in three days. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Dean, and Doctor Qin." Yihuan touched her belly, wanting him to stay safe and sound. "I'll leave my pregnancy to you two."

After sending the two imperial doctors away, Yihuan's body softened. Madam Ulanara accompanied her: "Yihuan, don't be afraid. Mother is here."

After returning to the palace, the chief physician Ma thought for a while, then opened the pulse record that had been sealed for many years and placed it together with Yihuan's pulse record. He was silent for a long time, then walked towards the Yangxin Palace with a few thin pieces of paper in his hand.
