Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Shen Wantang said calmly, "Mother won't blame me. On the contrary, she should be very happy."

"Is this...impossible?"

"Maybe. Because my sister tore off a piece of Aunt Chu's scalp."

Because of Chu Yanluo, her mother-in-law's relationship with her son plummeted. If she had to say who she hated the most, it would definitely be Chu Yanluo.

As long as Chu Yanluo suffers a loss, her mother-in-law will definitely feel relieved and will be happy.

Unfortunately, Shen Wantang guessed Princess Ning's psychology and her reaction, but he didn't expect Xiao Qingxi to be so unreliable.

But a moment later, Nanny Quan came over with a serious look on her face: "Princess, the princess asks you to go to her immediately!"

Shen Wantang saw that her face was not right, and her heart sank: "Mammy, what happened?"

"The princess just fell down and is bleeding!"

Shen Wantang's eyes went dark, and she said, Xiao Qingxi went out in the snow, something must have happened!

"Dujuan, take my silver needle and let's go!"

Braving the wind and snow, Shen Wantang hurried to Shaoguangyuan.

As soon as she entered, she heard Xiao Qingxi screaming like a ghost: "It's all that damn Shen Wantang's fault. She scared me and made me fall! It's over, my child, my child is going to die!"

When Shen Wantang heard her powerful voice, her heart settled back down in her stomach.

She entered the inner room and said to Princess Ning, "Mother, I'm here."

Princess Ning was overjoyed: "Quick, Tang'er, come and check on Xi'er, she has spotting and keeps complaining about stomachache."

Xiao Qingxi yelled, "I won't let her see! Hurry up and get me a doctor! Mother doesn't know, she tortured even her own sister to death, what good will it be for a sister-in-law like me to fall into her hands? She will definitely take the opportunity to kill the baby in my belly!"

But Princess Ning held her arm and lifted her sleeve: "Tang'er, don't listen to her nonsense, let her see it."

Shen Wantang stepped forward and took Xiao Qingxi's pulse for a while amid her angry cursing. Then, under her murderous gaze, he gave her a few injections.

After doing all this, she said to Princess Ning, "Mother, the princess is fine now, and the baby is stable, but she needs to rest for a few days. If she is willing, I can also prescribe a medicine to preserve the pregnancy for her."

Xiao Qingxi gnashed his teeth and said, "Who wants to drink your pregnancy-preserving medicine? You are so cruel. It's a pregnancy-preserving medicine, but it must be an abortion medicine! You are a sinister and despicable villain. You almost caused me to have a miscarriage, and you pretend to be a good person in front of my mother!"

Princess Ning glared at her and said, "You still have the energy to curse? I told you not to go out on a snowy day, but you didn't listen. You were careless when you walked and fell, and you still have the nerve to blame your sister-in-law?"

"I--"

"Shut up! If you don't want to lose the baby, just lie down quietly! Otherwise, you are so emotional as a mother that even gods can't save the baby! Tang'er gave you acupuncture, and your complexion has improved visibly. If she wanted you to have a miscarriage, would she need abortion pills?"

Xiao Qingxi actually felt that her stomach pain had gone away. She vaguely felt that this might be due to Shen Wantang, but of course she would not admit it.

She naturally cared about the baby in her belly, and was also afraid that being too emotional might lead to miscarriage, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

Princess Ning heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter finally behaved herself. "Tang'er, give her some medicine to preserve the pregnancy! With her personality, it's a miracle that she's still pregnant today. I'm afraid without the medicine, she might kill the baby someday."

Shen Wantang didn't say much. After all, Xiao Qingxi was her mother-in-law's biological daughter, and it was not her turn as a daughter-in-law to criticize her.

She sat down at the desk, picked up a pen and wrote down a few medicinal herbs, then handed them to Nanny Quan.

Nanny Quan showed it to Princess Ning, but Princess Ning waved her hand and said directly: "Hurry up and send someone to get the medicine. After it is boiled, bring it to the princess to take."

Her trust in Shen Wantang shocked Xiao Qingxi. She suspected that even if Shen Wantang prescribed her a bowl of poison, her mother would ask her to drink it without hesitation.

Seeing that Xiao Qingxi was fine, Shen Wantang told her mother-in-law a few things to pay attention to and then left.

As soon as she left, Xiao Qingxi ordered her nanny: "Madame Kang, hurry up and get me a doctor!"

Nanny Kang agreed with red eyes.

Princess Ning did not stop her daughter this time, because she knew that if her daughter was not completely reassured, she would not drink the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by Shen Wantang.

Because of the snow, the imperial physician arrived half an hour later than usual.

When he came, Xiao Qingxi's spotting had completely stopped, and she was as calm as ever, scolding Shen Wantang again with great energy.

The imperial physician carefully examined Shen Wantang's pulse and said the same thing as Shen Wantang: "The princess is fine now, please rest assured, Princess. I think the measures to preserve the fetus were taken in time, and the fetal position has stabilized now."

In fact, Princess Ning knew that her daughter was fine without the imperial physician telling her. After all, her face was rosy and she was in such good spirits that she could almost climb up the roof and tear off the tiles. She no longer complained about stomachaches, and her spotting had stopped long ago.

In fact, Xiao Qingxi herself knew best whether Shen Wantang was in good health or not. She called the imperial physician mainly to slap Shen Wantang in the face.

She asked Madam Kang to hand Shen Wantang's prescription and the brewed medicine to the imperial physician and asked, "Imperial Physician Zhou, please take a look. This is a prescription that a quack doctor wrote for me before you came. It contains all kinds of poisons. Is she trying to make me miscarry?"

Imperial Physician Zhou specialized in gynecology and when he was young he treated ordinary concubines and helped them preserve their pregnancies. After he became the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, he only treated the Empress Dowager and the Queen.

He had a very high status in the palace, so Xiao Qingxi was very polite to him.

Doctor Zhou glanced at the prescription, sniffed the cooled medicine carefully, and said, "Princess, the medicines on this prescription are all mild pregnancy-preserving medicines. They are also the most common pregnancy-preserving prescriptions. The ones used for the ladies in the palace are also similar prescriptions."

Xiao Qingxi's expression froze slightly: "Is this really a recipe for preserving pregnancy?"

"Yes."

"Humph, that's right. How could she, who is so sinister and cunning, leave such obvious evidence on a recipe like this?"

Doctor Zhou was an experienced man. Although he was puzzled as to who had prescribed the medicine for Xiao Qingxi, he did not ask anything. He just reminded her, "The princess had a slight spotting today. She should rest more and not get too happy or sad, let alone angry."

"The prescription is fine, and the medicine is fine, but don't drink it if it's completely cold. Ask someone to boil another bowl and take it. Then take a nap and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Princess Ning nodded, thanked Doctor Zhou, asked Nanny Quan to hand him a big red envelope, and sent someone to see him off.

Turning back, she looked at her daughter unhappily: "Are you still blaming your sister-in-law? Do you still think she wants to harm you? Even Doctor Zhou couldn't find any fault, but you can. Be careful when you walk next time. No, you are not allowed to leave the yard when it snows next time!"
