Chapter 391 Another One Fell
The lights in Shoukang Palace were on all night.
The child had been unconscious from morning till night, and had not opened her eyes in the meantime. The Queen Mother was extremely anxious.
"This is not normal..."
The imperial doctors gathered together and looked at each other in bewilderment.
They had never encountered such a situation before. The child's pulse looked like a heart attack from rage, but it seemed not to be entirely true.
Logically, the little girl should have woken up long ago, but there was no movement at all.
"Queen Mother, Doctor Yan said that you can try acupuncture." Li Shunfu relayed Doctor Yan's words to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother frowned. She had not been able to sleep all night. If Niuniu was fine, the Queen Mother would not want others to give Niuniu two needles.
But seeing that the little girl had been unconscious for so long and still did not seem to wake up, the Queen Mother could only look at her lying there, closing her eyes and looking pale, and she felt extremely distressed.
Seeing that the master seemed unable to make a decision, Li Shunfu whispered: "Empress Dowager, this child has not eaten anything at noon and at night. What should we do if a child this young does not eat?"
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said: "Forget it, let Doctor Yan try it first, and give him two needles to see what the reaction is."
Dr. Yan and Niu Niu are old acquaintances. Today, the palace suddenly sent someone to Baiyun Town to invite him into the palace.
He thought he would treat the emperor and concubines in the palace, but he did not expect to see Niu Niu lying unconscious on the bed. He had been with Gu Zhao for several months, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart that fortunately his apprentice didn't know that his sister was sick.
If Gu Zhao knew, he would be so anxious.
Dr. Yan thought of the various problems that the Gu family had encountered during this period, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart that it was a troubled time.
Acupuncture to wake up was also a helpless method.
It was just that Doctor Yan used acupuncture as usual to wake up other unconscious patients, but Niu Niu did not respond at all.
"It shouldn't be like this, this is really strange."
A group of old doctors did not sleep well all night, and they felt that Niu Niu's state was very strange.
"If even acupuncture can't wake someone up, I really don't know what to do." An imperial physician sighed.
A group of almost the best doctors in this dynasty gathered together, but they couldn't do anything about Niu Niu now.
Concubine Shun stayed up until late last night, and finally the emperor and the empress dowager were afraid that she had some problems, so they urged her to go back to the palace to rest. She ran over again early this morning.
Seeing that Niuniu still had her eyes closed, she was extremely anxious. She said to the Queen Mother helplessly, "Queen Mother, why don't you let the Gu family enter the palace, or let Niuniu leave the palace? After not eating for a day, I feel that the flesh on her cheeks has been reduced by half."
The Queen Mother followed Shun Fei's gaze and saw that Niuniu's originally chubby face had become pointed after a day and a night of tossing and turning. The Queen Mother's heart ached as well.
Although she was not her own child, she had raised her by her side and had long felt that she was no different from her own granddaughter.
But the Queen Mother turned her head and her eyes fell on Shun Fei's belly, and she felt very embarrassed again.
Doctor Yan listened to the conversation between the two and asked, "Empress Dowager, did Niu Niu have any worries before she fell into a coma?"
The Queen Mother had no choice but to tell Niu Niu's request, and she also told her own difficulties: "In folk customs, people will at least wait until their own children are born before they are willing to let people go home. I am in a dilemma now. I feel sorry for Niu Niu, but I am also afraid that Concubine Shun will have a bad pregnancy."
Doctor Yan stroked his beard and asked, "Since according to you, Concubine Shun's child was brought by Niu Niu, did Niu Niu deny that Concubine Shun had a child? Madam, be my foster mother? "
The Queen Mother shook her head, and Concubine Shun said on the side: "Niuniu has never recognized me as her foster mother, she has always called me sister."
Old Doctor Yan continued: "The reason why people pray for children is that some parents may not have children in their fate, but many children have brothers and sisters in their fate, so they can help bring children to couples who have not been pregnant for a long time. "
Concubine Shun has always been a woman with a simple mind. She was born beautiful, and her family wanted her to enter the palace to seek wealth. Even if she was unwilling, she would accept it after a few words of coaxing from her family.
After entering the palace, she was calculated by others for a while. She relied on Niuniu to have a good life now, and even because of Niuniu, she was able to be crowned as a concubine by pregnancy. She was grateful to Niuniu and liked Niuniu very much.
In her opinion, the way to be good to a person is naturally to let that person get what he wants. Now she has tried her best to let Niuniu realize her demands, even if this demand may hurt herself.
"Empress Dowager, since Niu Niu has not called me mother, the child in my belly should not be affected by Niu Niu's departure from the palace." Concubine Shun tried to persuade the Empress Dowager.
But the Empress Dowager just thought she was too young, frowned and said: "Concubine Shun, don't be willful."
Concubine Shun faced the stern eyes of the Empress Dowager. Although she was afraid, she still plucked up the courage and continued:
"Empress Dowager, Niu Niu is now unconscious, it must be because she is worried about her family. Maybe she will wake up once she is told that she can go home to accompany her family. I have this child because of her blessing. If Niu Niu is still unconscious, will she still be blessed?"
Concubine Shun's meaning is very clear. A comatose Fuwa can't even protect herself, how can it be called Fuwa?
But the Empress Dowa was still unwilling to take such a big risk. After all, the child in Concubine Shun's belly might be the future master of the country.
Old Doctor Yan sighed and said, "Empress Dowager, we have boiled medicine and given acupuncture, but the child still hasn't woken up. It must be because of the unresolved knot in her heart."
Old Doctor Yan could only hint and didn't dare to speak out like Concubine Shun.
Just at this moment, Concubine Shun suddenly frowned and covered her stomach with a look of pain.
"My concubine... my concubine's stomach hurts..."
The words of Concubine Shun made the Empress Dowager's face change drastically.
"Quick! Check her pulse! My grandson can't have any mistakes!" The Empress Dowager urged anxiously.
There were already many imperial doctors waiting in Shoukang Palace. After hearing this, they gathered together in the shortest time to take turns to see Concubine Shun.
The unconsciousness of Niuniu had already made the imperial doctors feel helpless. Now another Concubine Shun had an inexplicable stomachache, and they were all overwhelmed.
Concubine Shun was pregnant with a dragon fetus, and it was the only real pregnancy in the emperor's harem in so many years. Its importance was self-evident.
"Madam Shunfei, please tell me in detail what the pain in the abdomen feels like?" Doctor Yan asked.
The other imperial doctors also stared at Shunfei with serious faces.
"It feels like someone is pricking my stomach with a needle!" Shunfei said while holding her stomach.
