Within a few days, the East Palace sent people to the palace to pick up Mei Xue, headed by Xie Shi, the nun in charge next to the Crown Princess Xie Danqin.

Nanny Xie is only in her 40s, but her eyes and brows are already weathered.Although the words were polite and he brought generous gifts, the arrogance of the wealthy servant was still faintly revealed.

For example, seeing Ping An holding Mei Xue's neck and refusing to let go, Mammy Xie became a little impatient.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the Xie family has been unshakable for hundreds of years, regardless of financial resources or leadership among the gentry.

In comparison, Empress Dowager Jing'an's natal family, the Meng family that had produced several empresses, was much more low-key, and even explicitly ordered the children of the family not to be officials in the court.

Mei Xue glanced at Nanny Xie, and she could probably imagine how proud Princess Xie, King Lu's biological mother, was.

But the Crown Princess Xie Danqin is different, at least on the surface she looks like a gentle and demure Jiangnan beauty.

With a big belly, she went to greet Mei Xue at the gate of the palace in person, shook Mei Xue's hand kindly and said with a smile:
"Miss Mei, I know that you are a busy person, but your medical skills are good. Only by inviting you to sit in this palace can I give birth with peace of mind."

Mei Xue saluted Xie Danqin politely and said:

"Your Majesty, you are being polite. As an imperial physician, it is my duty to come to serve Your Majesty."

The alienation between Mei Xue's words and demeanor made Madam Xie frowned slightly, but the Crown Princess seemed not aware of it, and took Mei Xue's hand again and walked inside.

The kindness is like the two are best friends.

When the two sat down and the maid served tea, Xie Danqin looked at Mei Xue and said apologetically:

"That girl from the Zhao family is really out of character. Just because her mother came to read to Bengong a few times, she spread the word outside, and it is said that Miss Mei was also angry.

Bengong had already called her mother into the palace to reprimand her two days ago, so I should also ask Miss Mei to calm down. "

Mei Xue stood up, bowed to Xie Danqin again, and lowered her eyes and said:
"It's really unbelievable that the empress is so polite. It's just a few words of quarrel, and the humble minister is also at fault."

Seeing Mei Xue's calm and indifferent attitude, Xie Momo who was standing behind the princess cast a cold glance at her.

It was the first time for her to see such a woman who didn't know what was good and what was wrong, and she didn't even look at who she was talking to.

The princess didn't care, she smiled more and more cordially, asked Mei Xue to sit down and said:
"Your Highness is indeed right. Miss Mei not only has the talent of a woman, but also has a broad-minded heart, which is beyond the reach of others."

Mei Xue just shook her head with a smile, and when the Crown Princess asked her what she would do next, she immediately said that she wanted to see the Crown Princess' medical records, goodbye to the imperial doctor who had been giving the Crown Princess an abortion, and giving the Crown Prince The concubine checked the pulse once.

Obviously, it was all thought about early in the morning.

Seeing that Mei Xue was so caring, Mammy Xie's face turned slightly better.

But when Mei Xue took Xie Danqin's pulse, she kept her eyes on Xie Danqin, especially her stomach.

Nanny Xie became upset again, and put a thin blanket on Xie Danqin's stomach with a cold face.

Mei Xue turned her face to look at her, but said nothing.

After taking the pulse, Mei Xue only said that everything is fine, and the princess only needs to rest in peace.

When the palace servants led Mei Xue to see the envoy Guo Yuan, Xie Danqin's face darkened, she looked at Xie Momo coldly and said:

"Nurse is so active now that she dares to show her face in front of Mei Xue.

Don't you know that in order to invite her to deliver my baby, His Highness even went to the palace in person? "

Xie Momo hastily knelt down, but still whispered a little unconvinced:

"She's just a medical girl, it's really rude to stare at your mother."

Xie Danqin laughed angrily, sent out the rest of the palace, then glared at Xie Momo and said:

"Nurse is an old man of the Xie family after all, and has been with me in the palace for so many years, do you really think that Mei Xue is just a medical girl?
Did you know that for Han Yu's incident, His Highness had to go to Shu Palace to apologize to her in person, which was confessed by his father himself.

Not to mention in front of you and me, even in front of her father, grandmother, and aunt, she is different. "

Seeing Nanny Xie's surprised expression, Xie Danqin was a little frustrated, waved her hand and said:

"Looking at the capital today, I don't know who else would dare to underestimate Mei Xue.

Since Mammy can't bear to be wronged so much, she should go back to Jiangling, at least don't let the hard work of the Xie family for so many years go to waste because of you. "

Xie Momo panicked, kowtowed repeatedly, and begged the princess not to drive her away, crying, saying that she would never dare to be contemptuous of Mei Xue in the future.

Only then did Xie Danqin calm down, and said to Nanny Xie:

"Since that's the case, let me remember clearly, Mei Xue is not the former concubine Yang, you can let you discuss it openly and secretly.

Think about it, how many people have been in her hands since she came to the capital?
Not to mention that concubine Shu's mother and son and the original Yan Ge are old, even King Lu must have been tricked by her and the prince of Shu first.

It's not easy for you and me to get to this day, you better be careful, if there is another time, I will never let you stay in the capital. "

Mei Xue carefully read the medical records of the Crown Princess at the Guoyuan Envoy, and did not say anything special, but after returning to the East Palace, she went directly to the Crown Prince Li Jinyu.

Ambergris was lit in the study, and Prince Li Jinyu stood at the door to welcome Mei Xue.

Mei Xue saluted Li Jinyu, and after sitting down, Mei Xue didn't drink tea and said directly to Li Jinyu:
"Your Highness, the situation of the Crown Princess is not good. I must explain the situation to you in advance."

Li Jinyu's face immediately darkened. Because of the shadow of Li Mingze's birth, he did not dare to take it lightly since Xie Danqin's pregnancy. Several famous imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital have been waiting in the Eastern Palace almost [-]/[-].

All the imperial physicians said that Xie Danqin's baby was in very good condition, and there was nothing wrong with it, and Xie Danqin herself never said there was any discomfort.

But Li Jinyu was aware of Mei Xue's ability, and although his heart was heavy, he still politely asked Mei Xue for the reason.

Mei Xue was silent, and then tried to calmly explain the situation of Xie Danqin and the two children.

Xie Danqin is in good health, but one child has an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.

Usually this can be done by rubbing the pregnant woman's belly to help the fetus move back so that the umbilical cord can be looped away from the neck.

But Xie Danqin was pregnant with twins, and the narrow space in the uterine cavity made this method useless at all.

Mei Xue's suggestion was to take advantage of the fact that the child's umbilical cord was not seriously wrapped around the neck, and to use oxytocin to let the child who was just in the lower position without being wrapped around the neck be born first, and then she would try her best to help the second child to be born safely.

Xie Danqin has already reached her due date, that is, in the past few days, her two children have also developed well, so the risk of induced labor at this time is compared with the risk of losing a child during natural childbirth, and the difference is clear at a glance.

Mei Xue said it was a bit difficult. After she finished, she looked at Li Jinyu and said:

"Your Highness, I know that this matter is difficult to make a decision, but fortunately the umbilical cord is not very serious now, and there is still time to observe.

In addition, because of this special situation, the princess will definitely suffer more, whether the root cause of the disease will fall in the later stage, I cannot give a conclusion in advance.

Therefore, I hope His Highness will discuss it with your empress in advance before making a decision.

Because postpartum is the most vulnerable psychological stage for pregnant women, if you inform the mother in advance, let the empress have a psychological preparation, so that her psychological damage can be minimized. "

As soon as Mei Xue finished speaking, Li Jinyu waved her hands and said in a low voice:

"Mei Xue, Mingze was delivered by you, and you and Jinzhi raised it with your own hands, and you know best what happened to that child.

Therefore, you don't need to think about anything, and you don't need to observe any more. You can make arrangements now, and it is best to induce labor for Mrs. Xie today and tomorrow.

You remember, no matter what, nothing happens to the child.

As for Mrs. Xie, I will make an agreement with her in advance. "

Such a decision, coupled with the fact that Li Jinyu actually called Xie Danqin "Xie Shi" one by one.After Mei Xue listened, she already knew Li Jinyu's attitude clearly.

Smiling coldly in her heart, Mei Xue nodded in response and left the study.

After all, he doesn't love, so he only cares about the safety of the two children in his heart.

A child born to a woman he doesn't love is at best a bargaining chip to help him secure his position.
