Xie's mother had just entered Yi'anju when she saw all the doctors in the mansion sitting in the hall, chatting idly.
She frowned for a moment, then nodded to the doctors as if nothing had happened and walked inside. Just before reaching the bedroom, a palace maid came out and trembled slightly at the sight of Nurse Shao.
Naturally, such a reaction fell into the eyes of the aunt, and she looked deeply into the bedroom.
Gong E saw her like this and quickly gathered up the anxiety in her heart, stepping forward to chat with her.
"This is the nanny..."
"Old slave is by the side of Old Lady. The Old Lady heard that Your Highness's body is unwell, and specially ordered us to come and pay our respects. Oh, the Old Lady originally wanted to come in person, but... my mistress just happens to be giving birth today, and the Old Lady cannot divide herself. I hope Your Highness will excuse her."
The palace maid in front of her looked a bit young, with a tender face, probably just a personal attendant or doing odd jobs. As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, another palace maid walked out of the bedroom. This one looked more experienced, and when their eyes met, she didn't panic, but instead smiled calmly.
"This must be Auntie Xie."
The old woman smiled and said: "Exactly. How is the princess now? How's her body? Can you diagnose anything?"
Jiǎo's face suddenly fell, as if she had encountered something annoying or infuriating, her whole face filled with worry.
"I don't know what happened, I went out today and when I came back I started vomiting and having diarrhea. As you know, the princess is always very delicate, it seems that something she ate outside was not clean."
"Oh, I see. So that's how it is." Nurse Xiao turned her head to glance at the doctors still sitting outside with nothing to do and spoke with a hint of meaning: "I wonder if the doctors have all figured something out, can they take their medicine now, and what about the princess's current condition?"
Gong Yao said: "Fangzi Kai has opened his eyes, the princess has taken the medicine and is a bit better, but at the moment she is still dizzy and weak."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she opened her mouth and said to Nurse Shao with a smile: "I heard that the lady has gone into labor?"
"Yes, it just started a few days ago, so the situation is not very good at the moment. The old lady immediately asked the doctor to go, and now I know that the princess is ill. But I don't know if it's possible for me to bring a few doctors back with me, in case there's something needed by the madam, it would be convenient to have them nearby. What do you think?"
This palace maid saw the old lady respectfully address herself as "you", and immediately became very embarrassed, hurriedly pulling her to sit down. Then there was tea, then pastries, not a bit of the airs that palace people usually put on.
From the way she was dressed and spoke, Shao's nanny determined that this person was probably one of Princess Yi'an's personal palace maids. There were so many palace servants around the princess, and just a few days ago, she hadn't paid much attention to them, but now she remembered the woman's appearance clearly.
The palace maid was so caught up in her own words that she completely forgot about the matter she had just brought up. The old lady wasn't someone who could be fooled by a few sweet words, and with one glance, she saw right through the palace maid's intention of not wanting to let the doctors leave.
If it were another guest, Xie would not have to think so hard and go around in circles with Gong'e. She could just ask for someone directly. But the one who was ill was the princess, and she couldn't very well snatch someone away from under the princess's nose.
She suddenly had an idea and said to Gong'e, "This lady, the old lady is worried about the princess's illness and is waiting for me to reply. Since the princess has rested, I won't disturb her."
Gong E saw that she was about to leave after just a few words, and of course, she was overjoyed. She immediately sent her off warmly at the door. However, when they reached the outer hall, Xie Mama stopped in her tracks and told one of the doctors sitting in the hall to follow her. Also, she asked the remaining doctors to stay and take good care of the princess.
"What's the meaning of this?" Palace maid Xie saw that Thankful was naturally trying to take people away from under her nose, and in a moment of urgency, she hurried forward to dissuade her. If even such trivial matters couldn't be handled properly, who knows what would happen to herself when the princess on the bed woke up later.
The old lady looked at her anxiously without being arrogant or condescending, and instead spoke in a warm tone: "This auntie, this doctor is most skilled in gynecology, so I'll take him to see the madam. The ones who stayed behind are more skilled in other illnesses, such as gastrointestinal problems. The madam is hovering between life and death, if something were to happen, it would be a disaster for both of them. Didn't the princess say the other day that our lord has no children yet? The princess is kind-hearted, I'm sure that if the master wakes up, he will definitely agree with my actions. What do you think?"
You're the one who said that. There's no strong taking or snatching in this, and even the princess is praising it. Moreover, what they took away was a gynecological expert, which didn't affect the princess at all. The other doctors were left behind, weren't they?
Gong Yao also became impatient and unwillingly shouted: "The princess has not woken up yet, no one knows if there will be other symptoms later. If...if there are gynecological problems, it's not impossible! You took the doctor away, what if the princess really has something happen, can the Hou Mansion afford it?!"
It was also in a hurry, Gong E obviously didn't have the calmness of just now. Xie Mama couldn't help but curl up a smile at the corner of her mouth. Not to mention that there is no ghost in this, this princess, regardless of the difficulty of childbirth, forcibly detained people and refused to let go, no matter what the reason was, the overbearing and selfish behavior could not be escaped.
It's hard on the old lady, previously said that this princess is dignified and elegant, understanding and reasonable. It's just a show!
I've followed the First Rank Military Marquis's wife for decades, and I've seen all sorts of monsters and ghosts. Just thinking about leaving before, the lady's mournful cries in the delivery room made my heart ache. If she weren't a princess, I'd really like to rip off this old face and have a good argument with her.
At present, however, she could only endure and tolerate. Shaker laughed at the palace maid: "You also said it's possible. But as for the lady's place, it's absolutely certain. If something big happens because of the lack of a doctor's treatment, you can imagine how much self-blame the princess will have when she wakes up and finds out that her own illness was deliberately concealed by the servants who detained the doctor. Let's put it in a more unpleasant way, if this matter is revealed to the emperor and empress by the duke, I'm afraid the prince won't be able to explain himself either. After all, he is the son of the duke... What do you think?
You're speaking again! This old lady is really something, soft and fluffy on the outside but determined to take someone away.
Just as the palace maid was about to argue, another palace maid walked out of the bedroom and whispered a few words in her ear before leaving. The old nun didn't go to see what they were saying, but calmly waited there, waiting for the palace maid to refute herself.
At this moment, the doctor from outside should also be invited. Whether to bring this doctor or not is actually no big deal. But for some reason, Old Madame was accumulating a bellyful of resentment in her heart. Maybe it was because she heard the wife's cry and felt heartache, or maybe this princess was just too...too spoiled, Old Madame just didn't feel comfortable in her heart.
Fortunately, Gong E heard the words of the newcomer and changed her previous urgency. She smiled and apologized to Lao Taijun: "Lao Taijun is right. Just now I was worried about the prince's illness and lost my composure. Please forgive me. In that case, please trouble Lao Taijun to also convey greetings to the old lady on behalf of the prince, we will take care of things here, and ask the old lady to focus on her pregnancy."
Look, the people in this palace are coming out, turning their faces faster than they can turn out, and acting more strongly than actors. The old saying is really not wrong. Just a moment ago, they were still using various methods to frame people, but now they have turned into virtuous women.
Xie's aunt slightly pursed her lips and took the doctor back to Bei Yuan.
As soon as he arrived at Beiyuan, he heard a loud wailing sound, his heart tightened with confusion, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
