The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 71

In late August, all the sweet potatoes in the fields were harvested. +++Cartino novel website The sweet potato harvested from one acre of land is two or three stone more than the old farmers estimated. After leaving enough sweet potatoes to be planted next year, the remaining sweet potatoes are distributed to the lower counties. Local officials send people to promote the benefits of sweet potatoes to the people and encourage them to plant more after the beginning of spring next year.

The promotion in Yanzhou City was earlier and smoother than the next counties. Many people have seen the sweet potato field outside the city, but they have never known what is planted in the field. Now that officials have come forward to publicize and explain, they know that it is a newly discovered crop. Although they still don’t know the new crops, the people in Yanzhou City have blind trust in the generals and the princesses. I heard that the generals and princesses ordered the promotion of planting. The people who still had surplus food in their homes took food or money in exchange for sweet potatoes. .

A lot of sweet potatoes are harvested, but they are far from enough if they are to be extended to the entire Yanzhou and planted widely. While An Changqing was worrying about this issue, Zhou Helan, who had gone to the south, arrived at Yanzhou with a caravan and stopped at the gate of the General’s Mansion.

Earlier, Zhou Helan took people to explore the business roads of rough jadeite in Yongzhou, Gyeongju, and other places in the south. An Changqing did not (insert cha) hands on the jadeite mine. Therefore, this period of time was the correspondence between Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan. Seeing Zhou Helan returning with the caravan, it was rare to lose his attitude, and her voice rose a lot: “Helan?”

Zhou Helan was darker and taller than before he left, and the outline of his facial features became deeper and deeper. Two or three months of experience in the south has given him a faint aura that An Changqing had seen in his previous life.

He bent over and arched his hands and saluted: “Wang Hao, He Lan is fortunate to not humiliate his life.”

An Changqing smiled and asked someone to open the front door of the General’s Mansion to welcome the caravan in. After entering, Zhou Helan first counted the goods, and An Changqing discovered that the caravan was transporting all sweet potatoes.

Seeing An Changqing’s face (exposure) surprised, Zhou Helan explained: “In a letter with the prince, the letter mentioned that Yuze sweet potatoes should be widely grown, but Yanzhou’s potato varieties are insufficient, so I asked someone to find a way to get it from Yuze. Quite a lot.”

Sweet potato is not a valuable thing in Yuze. Because of its resistance to barrenness and high yield, the price has not been able to sell. The people of Yuze have planted them, but they are only used to feed their stomachs or feed livestock. Therefore, Zhou Helan easily obtained a dozen carts of sweet potatoes and transported them back to Yanzhou.

An Changqing looked at the carts of sweet potatoes with a bigger smile on her face unconsciously: “I’m worried about not having enough potatoes.”

The next person was asked to park the carriage carrying sweet potatoes in the garden. An Changqing and Zhou Helan were drinking tea in the front hall. Someone had gone to the barracks to report to Xiao Zhige, but for a moment, Xiao Zhige hurried back.

Xiao Zhige stepped forward and saw Zhou Helan’s first sentence: “But there is news?”

Zhou Helan nodded, and then withdrew from the caravan’s guard, leaving a middle-aged woman alone, and said, “Yes. It’s not convenient to go into details here.”,

The four of them went to the study together, but An Changqing didn’t know, so her eyes rolled between Xiao Zhige and Zhou Helan.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhige took the initiative to explain: “I sent Zhou Helan a letter earlier, telling him to find a way to go to Yuze to find out about the Shaman tribe.”

The southern border county of Daye is adjacent to Yuze. Zhou Helan went to the south to do business and had the opportunity to meet Yuze. In addition, he was loyal to An Changqing, and his only relative was recuperating in the palace. Xiao Zhige was able to understand ( He reveals the news that An Changqing is pregnant, and tells him to find a way to investigate the news about the Shark race in Yuze.

Zhou Helan was ordered to investigate the news, but there has been no progress. However, the business of rough jadeite is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting better every day. When Zhou Helan came back in person this time, Xiao Zhige knew when he heard that it must be a clue to what he explained, otherwise he would not leave the stall in the south and return to Yanzhou.

Zhou Helan did find some things. He thought about it and said: “I tried to pretend to go to Yuze territory, from the border to the capital city Fuliang, pretending to be a businessman all the way to inquire, but I have never heard of anything related to the Yao people. Just a few words…”

Yuze is near the sea, and there are countless sea legends of all kinds, but Zhou Helan inquired all the way, but never heard the rumors about the shark tribe. Later, he took a different approach and began to pay attention to the news of a man giving birth or a person with red stripes, but he didn’t want to behave crookedly, so he really asked him to find a woman who knew the truth.

“This is Mrs. Guo, who has practiced medicine for generations in the family. Her grandfather once delivered a man’s baby.”

Hearing Zhou Helan mentioned herself, Mr. Guo stepped forward and bowed a little cautiously. She was not born tall, had a plump body and a simple face. I didn’t say much. I saw that the other three people were all looking at her, and then he said nervously: “Yes, I followed my grandfather to practice medicine when I was young, and I saw my grandfather deliver a baby to a man. The man’s neck has a red (color) pattern like fish scales. .”

Xiao Zhige’s expression moved, but he suppressed his excitement: “Does the madam know how to deliver a baby? How is this male giving birth different from a woman?”

Who knew Mrs. Guo shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I was still young at the time, and my grandfather didn’t let me in.”

Without waiting for Xiao Zhige’s face (color) to change, she went on to say: “However, although I didn’t witness the process with my own eyes back then, when I packed my grandfather’s relics, I found a handbook, which details the pulse diagnosis during pregnancy and the subsequent delivery. Process.” After speaking, he took out a handwritten note from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Zhige with a worried expression.

After thinking for a while, I added: “Although the notes in the handwriting may seem weird, they are definitely not fabricated. My grandfather was famous at the time and was a well-known doctor in Fuliang. It’s just that my medical skills are not good and I couldn’t get the true biography of my grandfather. ”

Xiao Zhige took the handbook and flipped through a few pages at random, and saw that it read: On June 1st, the patient was in labor and the fetus was in the abdomen, but the man had no reproductive tools.

Also remember: On June 5th, yesterday, the patient agreed to have a baby by caesarean section. At 3 o’clock in the morning, the patient was treated with Mafeisan, and I used a sharp blade to perform a caesarean section to take out a female child. The fetus is different from an ordinary baby in that there is a layer of afterbirth on the skin. The afterbirth naturally falls off after two hours, and the fetus looks more delicate than an ordinary baby, and its body weight is slightly lighter…

Xiao Zhige’s gaze was firmly fixed on the four words of laparotomy, and it took a long time to close the handwriting, and said, “The handwriting is very useful to me. What are the requirements of my wife? Anything I can do can be used with Madam exchange.”

Mrs. Guo looked back at Zhou Helan and said, “Mr. Zhou promised me two thousand taels of silver.”

Originally thought she would speak loudly, but unexpectedly she only needed two thousand taels of silver. Xiao Zhige subconsciously looked at Zhou Helan for confirmation. Zhou Helan nodded: “It is true. Mrs. Guo’s youngest daughter is seriously ill and needs a lot of precious medicinal materials. I promised her two thousand taels before she was willing to come with me this time.”

It turned out to be so. Xiao Zhige was relieved and said, “I will ask the next person to withdraw the money to the lady, but I will find someone to verify the authenticity of the manuscript. The lady needs to stay in the house for a few more days. I will send it after confirming the authenticity. Someone sent his wife back.”,

Mrs. Guo hesitated for a moment and nodded in response.

Asked the next person to take Mrs. Guo down to the settlement. There were only three people left in the study, and Xiao Zhige asked someone to invite Hu Shifei to come. After that, he sat down and handed the handwritten note to An Changqing.

This manuscript, from the first time Dr. Guo came into contact with a pregnant man, until he left after giving birth to his next daughter, was recorded clearly and in detail.

It’s just that the more clearly written, the more shocking the process of pregnancy and childbirth. Perhaps it was an agreement with the patient that even Dr. Guo did not mention the patient’s name and other information in the manuscript. It can be seen only from the account of the two people meeting for the first time that the patient was alone and his physical condition was not good.

When the patient found Dr. Guo, he had been pregnant in April and had not yet become pregnant. However, morning sickness was more serious than that of ordinary women. In the worst case, he could not eat food and could only drink porridge every day. Severe edema of the calf and strenuous walking. He couldn’t bear the slightest heat, and stayed in a dark side room all day long.

An Changqing frowned and looked at him. Although he did not have morning sickness and edema, he was really not too heat-resistant, especially this year, which was particularly harsh. From this point of view, this manuscript does not seem to be made up indiscriminately.

The atmosphere in the study was a bit calm due to the things recorded in the manuscript. When Hu Shifei hurriedly arrived, all three of them were frowning and their faces were solemn.

He clicked in his heart and hurriedly saluted him, and Xiao Zhi Gesai came over with a handwritten note in his hand: “Look first, is it true or not?”

Before Hu Shifei could sit down, he stood by the window holding the handwritten note and looked carefully. For a while, there was only a slight sound of turning the book in the study. After reading it after a long time, Hu Shifei sighed: “This Doctor Guo is a strange man.”

“Is the manuscript true or not?” Xiao Zhige asked.

“It should be true.” Hu Shifei said: “Many of the methods recorded in the manuscript can still be used. However, I read his account that the patient should have a bad physique, so the reaction during pregnancy will be different. The princess is very different. The princess (body shen) is in good health, so there is no need to worry about it.”

This is not what Xiao Zhige cared about. He closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a suffocating breath before asking: “If the princess is in labor, do I have to have a cesarean section?”

Hu Shifei hesitated for a moment, and then said the truth: “Yes. Men are different from women. Women are born with reproductive organs, but men do not.”

In fact, if it is true that the record of the scorpion race is true, regardless of male or female, those with red stripes can have children, then the body of the red stripes must be different from ordinary people, and they should have another set of reproductive organs. But he later checked Yu Gang and found that Yu Gang was no different from an ordinary boy.

Now combined with the description in this handbook, he has confirmed his thoughts even more. Either the records of the Shark tribe are wrong, or it is because of the intermarriage and fusion of the Shark tribe and foreigners in these few years, many of the characteristics of the Shark tribe have gradually degraded and disappeared.

After all, according to common sense, An Changqing’s biological mother, Yu, should also be related to the Yuren, but the Yu did not have red lines on her body, and she also gave birth to a son and a daughter, but she could hardly find anything related to the Yuren. There are related places. Even the youngest daughter An Xianyu is the same.

Hu Shifei guessed that this kind of abnormality may not be fixed, and the possibility of abnormality (sexual xing) in males (sexual xing) is greater.

Xiao Zhige’s face (color) sank after hearing what he said, and he was silent for a long time before speaking in a mute voice: “If… don’t you want this child? Can you get a baby?”

When the words were spoken, several people were shocked. An Changqing was the first to be unwilling, frowning to look at him: “Lord?”

Xiao Zhige did not follow him this time, and said with a calm face: “Cesarean section is too dangerous to take a child, if there is a case…I would rather not have this child!”

An Changqing was silent, not knowing how to answer the call for a while. He wanted to accompany Xiao Zhige to white-headed, but he was also reluctant to bear the child who had just arrived. He has accepted his arrival these days. If he digs away abruptly, how can he be willing?

“Maybe there are other ways…” An Changqing whispered: “I don’t want to abandon him.”

Xiao Zhige screamed at him for the first time, pressing his palms firmly on his shoulders, but his voice was incapable of holding his beak: “If you like children, we can adopt them or adopt them, and we will follow you, but You can’t take your (sexual xing) life to risk it.” He fixedly looked at An Changqing, his voice was astringent: “The child is fine, but I can’t live without you.”

I have already tasted the taste of embracing, if I lose him again, just think about this possibility (sexual xing), he will feel anxious and unbearable.

An Changqing was dumb, with her palm subconsciously (touching Mo) on her abdomen, with a hesitant expression.

Zhou Helan couldn’t bear it when she saw this, “The patient is worse than Wang Fei (body shen), and she has survived.”

Xiao Zhige surely shook his head: “I dare not take risks.”

An Changqing is more important than his life, how dare he let him take risks?

A few people were silent for a while, but in the end Hu Shifei spoke out to persuade him: “In fact, it is not a risk. The princess (body shen) is in good health, and the cesarean is just a crime, but I am at least 80% sure of it.”

“It’s an abortion…” Hu Shifei shook his head: “I’m really not sure. The woman’s abortion pill may not be used by the princess. If it is used indiscriminately, I am afraid that it will be counterproductive.”

An Changqing breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, pursed her lips and held Xiao Zhige’s hand. The man’s palm was cold, An Changqing’s eyes softened and said to Hu Shifei and Zhou Helan: “I have something to say to the prince, you guys. Go and rest first.”

Hu Shifei and Zhou Helan walked out after saluting, and thoughtfully closed the study door for them.

An Changqing was not going to stay in the study. He shook Xiao Zhige’s hand and smiled slightly and said, “I’m a little tired. Will the prince carry me back to the room?”

Xiao Zhige calmly said nothing, but under his gaze, he squatted down so that he could lie on his back.

An Changqing put his arms around his neck, his front (chest xiong) pressed against his back, and his chin rested lightly on his shoulders. Neither of them spoke, and the man steadily carried him on his back and walked steadily towards the main room.

The author has something to say: Counsel: Here again I want to coax me like a coquettish, I’m not so coaxed.

Here:? is it?
