Chapter 1006: One person is missing from each family
Shi Anrou's tears were like beads that had broken off the string. She cried and laughed at the same time, as if she wanted to blend all the grievances of her first half of life and her current perfection into this one catharsis.
Queen Mother Huizheng promised personally that she would protect her and ensure a smooth life for her.
She doesn't need to pray, beg, or offer fruits anymore, because Queen Dowager Huizheng will protect her.
She cried with tears all over her face, and curled up in Shi Anxia's arms, wiping her snot and tears on her brocade jacket.
Shi Anxia was not annoyed at all. Instead, she gently combed her messy hair with her fingertips as if she was coaxing a frightened puppy.
Shi Anxia stroked her head gently, "I didn't really ignore you these years. How do you think you escaped from Ganzhou overnight? How did you get so many rides on your way back to the capital? How did your wallet, which you thought was stolen, suddenly appear at your feet?"
Shi Anrou sat up in surprise, staring at her blankly, stammering, "You! You have been helping me?"
The ending tone has a crying tone again.
It's the kind of flattering feeling that the last bit of light in the world suddenly shines into your heart!
Some warmth comes too suddenly and too wantonly.
It caught her off guard.
Shi Anxia lowered her eyelashes. "After all, I am just an ordinary person. I can only be good to those who are good to me."
She once asked Xiao Yunde to confirm her guess, and when she knew that An Rou was the carrier of Zi Gu in her previous life, she sent someone to help her secretly.
Not until Shi Anrou was completely settled in Tongan Medical Clinic did she feel at ease to withdraw all the people she was protecting.
But at that time, she was ultimately unable to accept it as readily as she is now, and to say to her with joy, "I will protect you throughout your life."
She was still afraid. She was afraid that the girl would have wild thoughts and act up again; she was afraid that the girl would be like her foolish father and would do whatever she wanted and drag the whole family into the quagmire without knowing it.
At this moment, Shi Anrou was also filled with regret.
In her reborn life, if she had not been indecisive and fickle, if she had not been led astray by her aunt, if Empress Dowager Jiqing had not given her something that did not belong to her... her life should not have been so miserable.
When lamps are close to each other, fires will reflect each other. She had clearly leaned towards the bright lamp many times, and she herself had ruined all the opportunities to get close to Queen Dowager Huizheng.
She simply had no ability to bear the blessing of rebirth, which was why her life became so miserable.
The two stood up and were talking when Dong Xi came in and said, "Madam, Madam Anguo is here to check your pulse."
Shi Anxia responded with "OK".
It was true that she caught a cold and had a high fever that night, and it was also true that she took advantage of the cold to create some noise to disturb people.
"Go ahead, don't worry about me." Shi Anrou stepped aside tactfully.
Shi Anxia grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go together. It's a good opportunity for Madam Anguo to take a look at you too."
Shi Anrou lowered her head, twisting her belt with her fingertips, "I'm fine now, there's nothing wrong with me."
"It won't hurt to take some time to recuperate." Shi Anxia did not hide it from Liang Yanbing and introduced Shi Anrou to her, "This is my sister. She used to live in Ganzhou."
Liang Yanbing paused her fingertips for a few more breaths on Shi Anrou's wrist. When she used three fingers to feel the pulse, she keenly caught the subtle stagnation in the pulse, like an undercurrent under a dry well in late autumn, which was clearly a sign of damage to the uterus.
"Miss, is your period regular?" Liang Yanbing's voice was very soft, but his fingertips were still on her pulse.
Shi Anrou found it difficult to speak.
Shi Anxia glanced at her and said, "Sister Liang is the person I trust the most. You should relax with her taking care of you. There's no one else here, so don't be embarrassed."
Shi Anrou responded with a soft "yes", and then described in detail the signs of damage to her body after the miscarriage.
Seeing that Liang Yanbing showed no trace of contempt, she told him about some women's illnesses that were usually difficult to talk about.
Liang Yanbing listened without saying much, took the patient's pulse again, and then wrote down two prescriptions. One was a common Qi-boosting soup, and the other added a few herbs to warm the uterus.
At that time, Anrou held the prescription carefully and went out. She was afraid to see a doctor because of her illness. Even though she had worked in Tongan Medical Clinic for such a long time, she did not dare to check her own body.
Now that someone is making decisions for her, she is still very willing to make some adjustments.
She stood at the door and heard An Xia ask, "Sister Liang, do you think she still has a chance to be a mother?"
Shi Anrou's heart skipped a beat and she listened even more nervously.
In the room, Liang Yanbing was silent for a moment. "It's hard to say. Her body must have suffered some serious damage after the miscarriage. The damage to her uterus is more serious than that of an ordinary miscarriage."
"It's hard to say, so there's still a chance?" Shi Anxia's eyes brightened a little, "But are there any scarce medicinal herbs?"
Liang Yanbing nodded, "I'll try my best. Wait until I've examined him a few times and then I'll see how he performs."
Shi Anxia smiled gently, "With your words, I feel half relieved."
She thought that Shi Anrou had saved her mother's life, which was equivalent to saving her life. If she could cure Shi Anrou, it would be considered a repayment of the favor.
Shi Anrou was outside the door holding the prescription, and her eyes turned red again as she listened to the conversation between the two people inside.
In fact, she no longer expected to be a mother, and she didn't even expect any man to be interested in her.
Dong Xi stretched out his hand towards her, "Miss An Rou, can you give me the prescription? I will go to Tong'an Clinic to get the medicine for you."
"I can go by myself." Shi Anrou said softly, "I'm familiar with the place."
Dong Xi smiled, "Madam has instructed that you don't have to do these errands yourself in the future. You should take a good rest and take good care of yourself, which is better than anything else."
Shi Anrou stared blankly as Dong Xi took the prescription and left Xia Shiyuan. The flowers blooming all over the wall were particularly beautiful.
She felt that she had also been nurtured by the soil and water of Xia Shiyuan, and the wind here was gentler than outside.
Deep in the house, the heads of the four great families gathered together for a secret meeting again, and some of them could no longer sit still.
"Why haven't you announced Tang's death yet? Are you really going to use someone else's body as a substitute?"
"The Emperor has been ill and has not attended court for three days. This is not a solution."
"I think the emperor is being controlled by the emperor emeritus."
"The emperor is probably angry with us, thinking that we took the initiative and killed Tang."
One person was being shameless, "Just tell the emperor that we didn't know that the Six Gods Temple had fallen into disrepair. Anyway, the people are dead now, and we are all in the same boat. What can he do to us?"
"Yes, the emperor still has to rely on our four great families to fight against the emperor."
"I think we should let Third Master Guo go to the palace first to check out the situation."
At this point, Guo Jindong had to reveal the truth, "My son has been missing for several days."
Everyone was shocked.
Gui Sifang spoke quickly, "Is your family missing too?"
What a great word “也”!
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was only then that they realized something terrible: one person was missing from every family!
Such a coincidence?
A piece of news came out that four people were crushed to death in the collapsed Six Gods Temple.
