Chapter 436 Shooting Oneself in the Foot

Sima Han heard this and said, "If a woman has difficulty in having a child, it must be because of internal weakness, obstruction, and poor pulse. I have been practicing medicine for many years and I do have a prescription that can help pregnancy, but..."

The Princess of Shu's eyes lit up when she heard that there was hope.

"Mr. Divine Doctor, please tell me directly if there is any difficulty. I will do my best to solve it."

Sima Han sighed, "Recently, locusts have been rampant, eating crops and medicinal fields everywhere. There is a rare medicinal ingredient in the prescription, called 'Pu Liangzi', which looks like jade. Only when winter is approaching, it will bloom a tender white flower, which can be used as medicine. Usually, three hundred flowers can make two taels of Pu Liangzi."

"It's just that it's not winter recently, and I have no storage. I heard that the Pu Liangzi planted in the medicinal fields has been almost ravaged by locusts. If the princess really wants to try it, I will write down the prescription. As for this medicine... I'm sorry that I can't help."

The Princess of Shu looked embarrassed.

This medicine is so rare and precious that even the miracle doctor can't help. Can she find it?

Or should she wait another winter?

But she can't wait any longer. After this year, she will be 45.

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes, her heart as clear as a mirror.

The miracle doctor grandpa must not want to take care of this matter.

Otherwise, he didn't even feel the pulse and said he couldn't do it.

Shen Ningning had heard from her brother Xie Mingxu before that the miracle doctor Sima Han liked the life of a free and easy person and was unwilling to be the helper of any noble.

He was able to live in the Xie Mansion and become a doctor in the Xie Mansion because his mother Shen Siyi had done him a favor many years ago.

Therefore, Sima Han didn't want to interfere in the matter of the Shu Princess's request for a child, so he tactfully refused.

Shen Ningning saw the sad face of the Shu Princess and heard her say: "Can I really not give birth to a son or a daughter for the prince in this life?"

The little girl hesitated.

Mo Lingwei cares a lot about his uncle and aunt, and in Shen Ningning's eyes, the Princess of Shu is a poor person who is kept in the dark by the King of Shu.

The Princess of Shu was in a state of confusion, and the genius doctor and Shen Ningning did not stay any longer, so they wanted to get up and leave.

However, Shen Ningning's feet left with some hesitation, and she looked back at the Princess of Shu frequently, seeing her pressing her eyebrows, lowering her head and leaning on the stone table, looking extremely sad.

The little girl couldn't bear it.

Sima Han saw it and whispered: "Ningning, little girl, you'd better not care about this kind of trivial matter. The Princess of Shu can't have children, most of which is related to the people in the palace. It's really complicated to get involved. Why do you wade into this muddy water?"

Shen Ningning thought about it and decided to stay.

"Grandpa, the genius doctor, please go back first. Princess Shu is my brother's most caring relative. I have to help her."

She has the medicinal material Pu Liangzi in her fairyland, but it seems that there are not many of them, but it is enough for Princess Shu.

Sima Han sighed and shook his head, leaving helplessly.

Princess Shu was covering her eyebrows with her hands, crying silently.

At this moment, she saw a pair of pink butterfly-embroidered shoes stop in front of her, raised a pair of misty tearful eyes, and saw Shen Ningning coming back.

"Ningning, why didn't you go back?" Princess Shu quickly turned sideways to wipe away her tears.

Shen Ningning's voice was tender, standing in the spring breeze, her tender green clothes were like newly opened buds.

"Aunt Princess, don't be sad. I remembered that I may have saved some Pu Liangzi, but the quantity is not much. I have to go back and look for it. If there is any, I will have someone send it to you."

She couldn't take out a lot at once, and she couldn't let Princess Shu think it was easy for her to take it.

When Princess Shu heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she burst into laughter. She held Shen Ningning with both hands and praised her in every way.

"Ningning is really a little lucky star. With your words, Auntie is relieved."

After that, Princess Shu invited Shen Ningning to stay and accompany the little girl to visit the garden and enjoy the scenery.

Listening to Shen Ningning's explanation, Princess Shu's mood also improved a lot.

Mo Zhirou returned to the mansion and accidentally saw this happy scene of them, and felt very depressed.

She had just returned from the palace. Although she didn't go to the emperor to tell him that she wanted to be named a princess.

But the emperor also saw her thoughts and sent her away in a few words.

Mo Zhirou was just about to go back to the palace to cry to the Princess of Shu, because the Princess of Shu was the softest and easy to talk to. Unexpectedly, she saw that the Princess of Shu and Shen Ningning were so harmonious.

She pinched the handkerchief tightly, turned around and walked away gloomily.

Half a month later.

Shen Ningning really came with a bag of Pu Liangzi, which was enough for the Princess of Shu to recuperate for a month!

Not only that, for fear that the Princess of Shu would find out, Shen Ningning ground the Pu Liangzi into powder before coming.

When she saw the Princess of Shu later, she would tell her that the Pu Liangzi powder dried in advance was ready.

The housekeeper led Shen Ningning to the back garden. When they passed the jade belt arch bridge in the garden, Mo Zhirou suddenly went up the bridge from the opposite side.

She hurriedly walked, shouting: "Hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."

Shen Ningning saw that she was about to bump into her, and quickly moved aside to avoid her. Unexpectedly, Mo Zhirou seemed to be hurrying with her head down, but when she passed by the little girl, she raised her hand and pushed her.

The bag containing Pu Liangzi in Shen Ningning's hand suddenly fell into the water under the bridge!

"Not good!" The housekeeper was shocked. He naturally knew what Shen Ningning was holding, and hurriedly jumped into the water to retrieve the bag.

However, when it was retrieved, the bag was scattered and the powder inside had long been soaked!

"It's over, this is the medicine that the princess has been waiting for!" The housekeeper knelt on the ground, looking miserable.

Shen Ningning frowned from beginning to end, seeing these precious Pu Liangzi disappear into thin air.

She pursed her pink lips and questioned Mo Zhirou directly.

"Why did you push me just now?"

Mo Zhirou looked innocent: "Princess Funing, you misunderstood, how dare I push you, the Earth Mother Temple in the city provides 300 incense sticks today, you can pray for your mother, if you go too late, there will be no more, so I was in a hurry and didn't see you."

"Anyway, I didn't mean it. Princess said I pushed you, it's really unfair to Zhirou."

Shen Ningning saw that she was not going to admit it, and saw the pride flashing in Mo Zhirou's eyes.

The little girl was cold in her heart, her eyes were like ice.

Mo Zhirou didn't know how precious this Pu Liangzi was to the princess, right?

Just then, the surprised voice of the Princess of Shu came from a distance: "What's going on?!"

She picked up her dress and hurried over, her face was panic, and the King of Shu and his servants followed behind her.

When she arrived at the bridge, she saw the bundle with only a ball of white foam in the housekeeper's hand, and the Princess of Shu took a breath of cold air.

Mo Zhirou spoke first, her voice full of apology.

"Mother, Zhirou was careless on the way. She bumped into the princess while going to the Earth Mother Temple to pray for you to have a child, so this bag of medicine of unknown powder fell into the water..." She said, she was almost crying with grievance.

The King of Shu glanced at the white foam in the bundle and frowned immediately.

"Madam, what medicine are you going to take again? I told you before that most of the folk prescriptions in the streets and alleys are scams. Not only can they not cure diseases, but they will also affect your body!"

He glanced at Shen Ningning calmly, as if blaming her: "Fortunately, Zhirou bumped it off for you this time, otherwise you would have eaten something unknown, which would have made your husband anxious?"

Mo Zhirou could hardly suppress the corners of her lips that were proud.

She did the right thing. Shen Ningning could call on everyone to eat locusts. What good things could she give to the Princess of Shu?

Shen Ningning did not explain anything, but just said to Princess Shu: "Aunt Princess, these are all the Pu Liangzi I have. If you want more, you have to wait until next winter." (End of this chapter)
