eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 348 Surprise in the palace
The common people read "Ming Pao" and boasted to each other about the cases they knew about the grassland, thinking that the rulers and ministers in the court did their best, but they didn't know that the storm was coming and it would be impossible to stop it.

But in the palace, it was messed up because of other things.

It was Mei Huaixiao who was unwell. On the one hand, she had a loss of appetite, and on the other hand, she always had a dull pain in her abdomen. Empress Dowager Zhang wondered if she would be happy.So I personally issued an order to invite Dr. Tan from the Women's Medical Center to come into the palace for diagnosis.

Zhu Houzhao was still calling for Mao Yuwen at that time, and hurried back to the harem after hearing the report from his servant.

Dr. Tan's medical skills are superb, and when he arrives, the diagnosis has already been confirmed.

They are three masters and apprentices. The two apprentices are tall and the other is small. The tall ones have three-dimensional and exquisite facial features, and their eyes are quite bright. The small size is actually ordinary, but it seems that they should be more skilled in medical skills. What does Tan Yunxian have? All discuss with her.

"See Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

Zhu Houzhao knew how to measure, he went to the bed first, reached out and stroked Huaixiao's forehead, seeing her pale face, he was actually somewhat worried, "Huaixiao, what do you think?"

The girl should be uncomfortable, her lips are also white, but it is just a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubine is fine."

Having said that, there are actually some traces of crying in the corners of his eyes.

"Doctor Tan," Zhu Houzhao turned around, "What's the diagnosis?"

Tan Yunxian crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, with a troubled expression on his face, "Report to Your Majesty. Your Excellency is bleeding, it should...it should be a miscarriage."

"Miscarriage?!" Zhu Houzhao frowned, holding Huaixiao's hand with some strength.

These words came out of Tan Yunxian's mouth, and Huaixiao lying on the bed could no longer bear the sadness, sobbing softly.

"How could this be a miscarriage?"

Considering that Zhu Houzhao had no children in history, he was a little worried about himself at the moment.

Although it is relatively easy to miscarry in the early stages of pregnancy, it is not a good sign to have a miscarriage as soon as it is discovered. It is actually a problem that it is not easy to survive if you have a child.

"Why... It's hard to say. Maybe it's not eating right, maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest... Maybe it's an accident. Women have miscarriages, and this happens."

Empress Dowager Zhang, who has been staying here all this time, heard that this was the result, and her overjoyed mood fell to the bottom of the valley.
Moreover, she is not a virtuous empress who understands righteousness, and the knowledge of the ancients also thought that this is a woman's problem, so her words are more ugly, saying: "It's just that I didn't pay attention, and I didn't know it at all when I was pregnant. Nowadays, a heaven What's the use of a stomach that the family's heirs can't keep?"

Mei Huai smiled pitifully, don't talk about her, even the emperor is hard to talk about in an environment where filial piety is paramount.In addition, in fact, Mei Huaixiao's knowledge is about the same as that of Queen Mother Zhang, and she herself feels that she is not up to date.

His Majesty has already done him a favor, but he couldn't keep it. Who else can he blame besides himself?

Zhu Houzhao knew it in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it. Besides, he was not an obstetrician, so some doubts could only be doubts, and he couldn't draw any definite conclusions.

"The queen mother, her son and Huaixiao are still young... and she will be able to conceive in the future."

Empress Dowager Zhang remained sullen. She was not angry with her son, but with Mei Huaixiao.

Fortunately, she also knew that this was a scandal of the Tian family, and there were outsiders such as Tan Yunxian, so she stopped talking and left with a snort.

At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law atmosphere is like this,

If you give birth to a son, you will be a great hero, but if you are pregnant and have a miscarriage, most mothers-in-law will not show good looks, let alone the royal family who pays more attention to this.

"Talk about the doctor,"

"The minister is here."

"Will a miscarriage hurt her body? Look at my beloved concubine's face is pale. You can eat something so that she can recover as soon as possible, especially if there is no root cause."

"Yes. Don't worry, Your Majesty, as long as you laugh at the nobleman and follow the minister's prescription, it will be back to normal in half a month to one month."

Zhu Houzhao nodded.

When something like this happened, he couldn't feel better.

"Go down."

The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao looked up at Mei Huaiyan, "Huaiyan, you also go down."

"The minister and concubine follow the order."

There are either doctors or concubines in the room, all women, women can understand women best.

Tan Yunxian originally thought that the emperor would definitely be disappointed and angry, but seeing the emperor's emotions was not the case.

"Thank you, Doctor Tan, today."

Outside the hall, Huai Yan said politely.

"Yan Guiren is serious, this is also the duty of the minister. Fang Zi, the minister will stay. If possible, Yan Guiren should be careful not to let Xiaoguiren touch or drink cold water."

"it is good."

Originally, Tan Yunxian was about to leave, but she couldn't hold back some words before she left, "Your Majesty... is a man of temperament, and he is different from all men in the world. Laughing nobleman has encountered adversity this time... If someone else, It is necessary to suffer some hardships, but His Majesty will not. Yan Guiren can also enlighten me in this way, after all, it is not good to be depressed all day long."

Mei Huaiyan blinked her eyes, she seemed to understand the words, but also seemed to not understand.

Probably in the game, she can't feel it directly.When encountering such a thing, these girls will feel that it is the woman's fault.

But Tan Yunxian can only talk to this extent, no more is inappropriate.

But her two apprentices actually understood what the master meant, that the emperor would not blame and laugh at nobles too much.

As a result, a look of strangeness flashed in the eyes of both of them. A woman's life is to be entrusted to her husband. If this is the case, this pair of sisters is a bit lucky.

"Thank you, Doctor Tan, for reminding me." Huaiyan blushed, but she actually had something on her mind.

Even if my sister is pregnant, will she also have...?
After all, their sisters have always slept together.

"There is one more thing, can Dr. Tan take my pulse?" Although he was a bit speechless, but the matter was very important, Huai Yan could only speak with a blushing face.

……

inside the hall,

Zhu Houzhao pulled Mei Huaixiao over and hugged her in his arms,
Self-blame, pain, remorse, powerlessness... Under the intertwining of these emotions, even the stronger sister couldn't bear it at this time. After she left, she cried out completely, and her upper body was sore from the unstoppable sobbing. flutter.

"Your Majesty, it's all to blame...it's all to blame for the uselessness of the concubine...for not being able to keep the prince..."

Zhu Houzhao supported her, and seeing that she was already pear blossoms and raining, he couldn't bear it, "It's okay, I don't blame you. Huai Xiao, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body, and you can't let your body lose too much. As long as your foundation Now, she will definitely be able to conceive in the future, especially the prince."

"Your Majesty...will you really not blame the concubines?"

Zhu Houzhao wiped away the tear stains on her face with his thumb. The skin that could be broken by blows was actually very smooth, and then kissed the girl's forehead again.

"Because I am the emperor, you are married into a heavenly family, so there are always some rules that you must abide by. In fact, I always think that it would be fine if I were not the emperor. Your sisters marry into my family, we are husband and wife, husband and wife We should be close to each other, be happy together when there are happy events, and face together when there are bad events. Now that you have encountered this, your body is weak and your heart is uncomfortable, how can I be willing to blame you? I only hope that you get better."

Hearing this bad Mei Huaixiao was very moved, and she threw herself into her arms, "Your Majesty!"

Probably, it is easier for people to perceive each other when they are in adversity.

Zhu Houzhao also felt that the woman in his arms felt more real as his wife.

"The sea of ​​people is vast, and it is not easy for us to meet and get to know each other. There are many people and ideas in the palace, but I have always hoped that we can be like a folk couple."

"In the hearts of the concubines, the concubines have long belonged to His Majesty, as long as His Majesty does not dislike them."

"Nonsense, how can I dislike it?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "I remember the first time I went to Meifu, when I went because of the court affairs, it was not for you and Huaiyan. But go After I saw you sisters, I changed my mind..."

Speaking of this, she even picked her delicate chin with her index finger, "From then on, no matter who it is, Uncle Huaiyuan or whoever it is, you have to be honest, and I won't let anyone touch you."

After saying these words, Mei Huaixiao felt a little sweetness in her heart, and the emperor never did this before.

"Your Majesty thinks...does your concubine look good?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes flickered, and he took a closer look at the entire face held in front of him. His eyes were like stars, his mouth was like a cherry, his facial features were exquisite, and he was deliciously beautiful.

"nice."

……

……

Out of Yongshou Palace,
In fact, Zhu Houzhao was somewhat thoughtful. He wanted to recall some details of why the former Emperor Zhengde had no heirs, but he couldn't think of anything, even if he hadn't read much about the related unofficial history.

The more I can't remember, the more irritable I feel.Later, he ordered Liu Jin not to follow her.

So it was a master and a servant wandering aimlessly in the palace,
Zhu Houzhao was wondering if he had to cast a wide net... Without equipment, there seemed to be no good way other than this method.This is actually easy to do, the problem is that if he really can't have a child, what should he do?
The succession of royal heirs is the number one event in Tianzi, and if it is not stable, it will affect the stability of the court.Do you want to bring Emperor Jiajing closer to the palace?

That's a selfish prodigal master.

While thinking, he and Liu Jin walked to a bamboo forest and rockery in the back garden, and there was a rushing stream, but otherwise it was very quiet.

So as soon as they walked in, they heard the rustling voices of eunuchs and court ladies,

Liu Jin's complexion changed drastically. Some eunuchs and maids in the palace would become rivals. Could it be that His Majesty bumped into them?

Just as he was about to make a move, the emperor stretched out his hand to stop him.

Then Zhu Houzhao slowly approached the stone, wanting to hear it more clearly.

Behind the stone, in the shelter of the bamboo forest,

There was a female voice, "Gu Shilang is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, how could he do such a thing?"

Then came a male voice, "This man's eyes are black and his heart is red. But when his eyes are red, his heart will turn black. He has over a million taels of silver in his hands, but he can only get such a pitiful salary. Who will not move?" thought?"

The female voice asked again: "How did you know?"

"It was also a relative from Yangzhou who reminded our family. Please ask our family to report to the emperor. Are you kidding? Our family is a small eunuch who is in charge of Shangshan, what can the emperor believe? Our family dare not meddle in this matter , Gu Shilang, that's the emperor's favorite!"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, his heart was inexplicably shocked. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind,
Gu Zuo was corrupt in Yangzhou and caused public resentment?So much so that someone wanted to bring him down through the palace.

As an adult, he himself understands human nature.Indeed, if you spend millions of taels of silver in your hands, you might be really jealous.

Liu Jin also seemed to know that the matter was serious, and knelt at the emperor's feet without saying a word.
