Chapter 133 Doctor Pei Visits Again
Prime Minister Shen knelt on the ground and repeatedly thanked the emperor for his grace. After seeing the emperor leave, he followed the eunuch out of the imperial study. It had started snowing again in the sky, and a layer of snow had already fallen on the red palace lanterns.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, just wait for a moment at the palace gate. I will ask Imperial Physician Pei to meet you at the palace gate." Eunuch Li beside him smiled kindly, staring at the Prime Minister and spoke softly.
Prime Minister Shen hurriedly thanked Eunuch Li and then strode away. Eunuch Li looked at his departing figure with a deep look on his face, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then he turned around and walked towards the direction of the Imperial Hospital.
The snow was getting heavier. Huaying, who was waiting for her father in her mother's room, came to the door, looked at the snow, and said to Shen Nanxing, who was sitting by the door: "Second brother, it's so late and the snow is so heavy, why hasn't father come yet?"
Shen Nanxing, who was lying on the chair, took a bite of chestnuts and comforted him, "Don't worry, father may have been delayed by court affairs. Sometimes when court affairs are busy, it is common for father to stay in the palace."
After hearing this, Hua Ying nodded. She sat back down, looking out the door from time to time. Seeing this, her mother smiled and said to her, "Ying'er, if you feel sleepy, go back and rest. You don't have to force yourself." Then, she turned around and said to Bai Wei, "You are pregnant and your body is heavy. Go and rest quickly. Don't stay up late and hurt your body."
Hearing this, Bai Wei looked at Shen's mother with tender eyes: "Mother, it's okay for me to be your daughter-in-law. Today is New Year's Eve, and we should stay up together."
Mother Shen looked at her eldest son and instructed, "Bai Wei is a sensible girl, but mother is worried about her health. Take Bai Wei back to the courtyard." She looked at Bai Wei and urged her to go back. Huaying also left and returned to Molan Pavilion at her mother's urging.
It was late at night, but the old lady had no desire to sleep, so she asked the maid beside her to light the candle. The bright candlelight fell on her slender body, making her shadow longer and looking a little lonely.
It was not until midnight that the lady suddenly heard the familiar voice of the master coming from outside. She hurriedly stood up, straightened her coat, and went forward to greet him.
When he saw the master and Doctor Pei walk in together, his heart, which had been hanging in the balance all night, tightened again.
"Master, what happened?" the lady asked anxiously.
Prime Minister Shen hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, it's nothing serious. Where is Huaying, let her come over." After that, he patted his wife's hand gently, then turned around and warmly entertained Doctor Pei.
At the same time, Huaying on the other side had not yet fallen asleep, and she heard Qinghe coming to report: "Miss, Nanny Wang is here. Please change your clothes and go to Chunhuayuan." Huaying responded with doubt.
When she arrived at Chunhua Courtyard, she saw her father sitting in the main seat and Doctor Pei sitting on the side. She couldn't help but feel worried. She looked at her father and asked with concern, "Father, are you feeling well?"
Father Shen looked at his lost and found daughter, his heart was filled with emotion, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head, "I am not feeling unwell. I happened to meet Doctor Pei today, so I invited him to see you."
Huaying looked at her mother in surprise, and her mother said, "It's getting late. Doctor Pei can go back and rest after taking your pulse."
Doctor Pei began to feel Huaying's pulse. After a while, he released Huaying's wrist and said with a smile, "Miss Shen is fine, just a little weak." Madam heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"But..." Doctor Pei changed the subject, "Does Miss Shen often feel tired, and occasionally have symptoms of palpitations and stomach cramps?"
Huaying nodded in surprise. She did have this symptom, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Doctor Pei pondered for a moment and said, "It may be because of the previous amnesia that caused mental damage. Let me write a few prescriptions and you will need to recuperate for a period of time." After that, he picked up the pen and wrote down the prescription and handed it to the maid beside him.
Then he packed his suitcase and prepared to leave. Prime Minister Shen saw Doctor Pei out. On the way, he said to Doctor Pei, "Thank you Doctor Pei for presenting it to the emperor as we said when we came."
Doctor Pei said solemnly, "Uncle Shen, you are too kind. My father was saved by you before, so I can still help with this matter. But Miss Shen has another symptom. I wonder if Uncle Shen knows about it?"
Prime Minister Shen's heart tightened and he asked, "What are the symptoms?"
Doctor Pei stopped and said seriously, "Just now in the hall, I couldn't say it out loud, but Miss Shen had the same symptoms as we described."
Prime Minister Shen's eyes flashed with shock, "You mean... Ying'er will have no offspring in this life?"
Doctor Pei hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Young lady must have taken an unknown drug before. The toxins produced by the drug entered the uterus and affected the normal function of the uterus, resulting in infertility."
Prime Minister Shen felt dizzy and nearly fell down. Doctor Pei, who was standing beside him, supported him and comforted him, "Don't worry, Uncle Shen. I will do my best to take care of her body and hopefully relieve her symptoms."
Prime Minister Shen steadied himself, grasped his arm gratefully and said, "If a woman goes to her husband's house without an heir, how will she survive? No matter how much money it costs, my dear nephew, you must save her."
Doctor Pei nodded with a heavy face. The poison had already entered the uterus for a long time, and it would be difficult to cure it. At present, he didn't even know what medicine the woman had taken, so how could he detoxify her?
