On hearing this, Lady Hua Guo immediately asked, "No medicine? Doesn't she need some medicine? "
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Diet cures more than medicine. Besides, pregnant women should be more careful to take medicine for every medicine has its side effect. Her Highness could have more nourishing food such as white wood ear mushroom, tofu, lily, yam, soft-shelled turtle, crab, duck and so on."
Yun Shang nodded and told Qian Liu to write them down.
Then Yun Shang asked the butler to award the eunuch and the imperial physician with some money and send them out.
Lady Guo was a little nervous. "Shang'er, keep in mind what the imperial physician has told you. Don't worry about the rest. Just leave Qingyan's matter to your grandfather. Lie in bed more often every day. If you are tired of lying, just take a walk in the yard."
Lady Hua Guo told her a lot of things that needed to be paid attention to during pregnancy, almost wanting to live in Prince Rui's mansion. She said more than half an hour before she got up and left.
Then Yun Shang lifted the quilt and went down from the bed. She walked to the table and picked up the note Qian Liu wrote. Sneering, she tore the paper apart and threw it into the brazier.
Qian Liu was surprised. She asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the ingredients?"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "The Empress did really think hard on it. The imperial physician seems to be quite professional, saying that medicine is not as effective as nourishing diet. But if I do as he told and eat them every day, I'm afraid that I'll lose my baby within three months."
"Why? Aren't these just ordinary food?" Qian Liu looked confused, and she Qian Zhuo looked at Yun Shang with great expectation.
Yun Shang then said, "The imperial physician has recommended seven kinds of food materials. They are indeed good for health, but not all of them are suitable for pregnant women. The Empress knows well about the situation in our mansion. She must know that most of my maids are young girls and that I know little about must-nots during pregnancy. Though I know some medical skills, but I don't know too much about pregnancy. She planned to take advantage of this to kill my baby."
Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo were furious. "The Empress is so vicious!"
Qian Liu quickly asked, "Your Highness, which food ingredients are not suitable?"
"Both crab and soft-shelled turtle are cold in nature. They are nourishing and have little side effect to most people, but they should be avoided by pregnant women, especially the crab claws and turtle shell which could easily lead to a miscarriage." Yun Shang said slowly and lied down again.
Qian Liu frowned and said, "It seems we have to find an experienced nanny. And I and Qian Liu have to read some relevant books carefully in case of being tricked by others." Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "You can just go and arrange it."
For the following two days, there was still no news about Xia Huanyu and Luo Qingyan. Yun Shang was lying in bed all day and night and only got up to get something to eat or go to the bathroom. Lord Hua Guo was a man of his word. The next day, he sent nearly a hundred servants to guard the gate of Prince Rui's mansion, and almost no one was allowed to enter. Duiring the first two days, the butler was asked by Yun Shang to guard at the gate and inform her If some important people came. No one came except Liu Yinfeng and Shen Yilan. Yun Shang sent for a physician and asked him to take her pulse every day. She asked someone to follow the physician and found that he was also stopped and inquired on his way back every day.
Yun Shang had a general idea of the current situation, so she asked Qian Liu and Qian Yin to prepare for the next move.
On the third day, Yun Shang got up before drawn. She asked a female secret guard disguise her appearance and lie in her bed. Then Yun Shang left with Qian Liu and Qian Qian Qian, disguising as servants from the Prince Rui's mansion.
A month ago, Yun Shang had ordered the servants in charge of purchasing to visit QianShui Pavilion every day to see if there were any new styles of jewelry. Yun Shang directly took Qian Liu and Qian Zhuo to the Qianshui Pavilion. There were several customers in the shop, so the attendant greeted them in a familiar way, "Hey, welcome. There are some new styles of jewelry that I haven't put out for sale today. Come with me upstairs and see if there's anything that Her Highness might like."
Yun Shang nodded with a smile and went upstairs. Qian Shui was already waiting there, with three women who had the identical appearances as the looks Yun Shang and her two maids disguised.
Yun Shang, Qin Liu and Qian Zhuo hurried to the inner room, took their clothes off and handed them to the three outside. Then the three maids took several jewelry boxes from Qian Shui and followed the attendant downstairs.
They hear the attendant's smiling voice from downstairs, "Please say something nice in front of Her Highness. If there is any jewelry she doesn't like, just take it back."
