The dinner party is finally over.
Another group of guards in brocade clothes came in at the door.
Lin Yi's eyes were involuntarily attracted to these people. She looked towards the gate and realized that the chariot parked outside was not the human-powered chariot just now. This chariot moved on wheels and had a carport above it.
Emperor Qin Ming stood up leisurely and left Jiao Rong Hall with the support of the eunuch guards.
Immediately, Zhen Qiang left the Jiao Rong Hall dragging her sweeping skirt.
Lin Yi sat on a low stool and watched them leave. She thought that as expected of a boss, she always had to create a scene, but it was so time-consuming. She couldn't help but yawn a few times.
Qin Shuihan raised his eyebrows. It turned out that Yiyi liked this kind of skirt.
Although a palace maid helped Zhen Qiang adjust the swing, Qin Shuihan still saw with sharp eyes the stains on the white marble on the skirt.
No, this style is too inconvenient, and it would be too dangerous if it hooks something. Yiyi doesn't know martial arts, so she definitely can't handle emergencies.
Qin Shuihan decisively gave up the idea of customizing this kind of dress.
After the emperor and empress left the table, the concubines and concubines also left in an orderly manner. The remaining people in the Jiao Rong Hall began to move around freely, and only the chirping sounds of children filled the hall.
"Mommy, Ling'er wants to watch the fireworks."
"Mommy, I want to go too."
Qin Shuihan thought for a moment and immediately put a fur coat on Lin Yi.
"Let's go to Jinling Pond. There will be fireworks there later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi, who was a little drowsy, immediately woke up.
"Okay, let's go, hurry up and grab a seat!"
"Stealing the position?"
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly but politely.
In modern fireworks displays, she and her best friends always go early to occupy the best viewing spot.
"Uh-huh…"
"Are you tired, Yiyi? I'll ask Xuanfeng to prepare a cushion. You can sit on the cushion and watch later."
"..."
"No, no, I'm a little sleepy. I was confused just now and I don't know what I said."
Lin Yi quickly pulled Qin Shuihan out of the hall. She took a few breaths of cold air and patted her little face excitedly.
"King Han, I'm awake, hurry up and go to the Jinling Pond where the fireworks are set off!"
"good."
Qin Shuihan pulled Lin Yi towards Jinling Pond.
Along the way, Lin Yi was very excited. She wanted to see the ancient fireworks technology. After all, gunpowder was one of the four great inventions of ancient China.
However, in this era, fireworks were a luxury item exclusively for the entertainment of the royal family, and people could only set off firecrackers.
At this time, many ordinary people gathered outside the palace, and they also wanted to see the gorgeous fireworks.
A lot of people have gathered at Jinling Pond.
Emperor Qin Ming and Zhen Qiang were sitting in a square chariot.
Lin Yi shrank his neck. They didn't wear cloaks. Isn't it cold?
In fact, there were several thermoses placed in the chariot, and Zhen Qiang was holding Tang Lao in her hands, so it was indeed not cold.
At this time, a guard came to guide the way. Qin Shuihan glanced at Qin Zhe not far away and thought that he really didn't want to watch the fireworks with that pervert.
Lin Yi also noticed the direction pointed by the guard. There was a row of princes, and she didn't want to see any of them except Qin Yi.
"King Han, can we go over there and watch?"
Lin Yi pointed in the direction away from the crowd, where there was a rockery.
"not afraid cold?"
"You hold my hand and you won't feel cold."
The two looked at each other and smiled, holding hands and walking towards the rockery.
A ship came to Jinling Pond, and the pyrotechnics on board were ready.
Suddenly there was music.
call out--
Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, and firecrackers sounded by the pool. The two complemented each other and decorated the cold night sky with excitement.
Not inferior to this world!
Lin Yi nestled tightly in Qin Shuihan's arms. Although it was very cold, she felt very romantic to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery with him.
"Qin Shuihan, I like you."
Qin Shuihan was slightly startled. This was the first time Lin Yi had confessed to him like this, and his eyes shone with inexplicable excitement.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you."
Did you really not hear it?
Lin Yi looked up at him and was just about to raise her voice to repeat it when she suddenly felt that how could she, a strong woman like herself, say such words as "I like you"!
It must be that the sympathetic nerves were excited just now and the brain was out of control, all caused by the atmosphere.
She raised her eyebrows, changed her sentence, and said domineeringly: "Qin Shuihan, you are mine!"
Qin Shuihan couldn't help but laugh. This was a declaration of sovereignty.
"Call me Shuihan, don't call me King Han, and don't call me by my full name."
"oh…"
Lin Yi patted his forehead, yes, why do you still call him King Han? They are the closest people to each other, and they seem so different.
Her eyes bloomed with a soft light, and she kept shouting with a grin: "Shuihan, Shuihan!"
Suddenly bursts of sparks appeared on the ground, which were "ground mice". It was a bit abrupt, but the little sparks scattered on the ground, which was very interesting.
Pyrotechnics makers naturally know how to please the emperor.
Sure enough, there were many ground rats scurrying around the chariot.
The sound of crackling sparks, coupled with the joyful shouts of women, is full of the flavor of the New Year.
"ah--"
A scream rose from the crowd.
Then there was a commotion.
A row of guards swished out in front of Emperor Qin Ming's chariot.
"Blood!"
"Blood!"
"Pass on the royal doctor!"
Qin Shuihan helped Lin Yi stand on the rockery. When they heard the commotion, the two looked at each other. Lin Yi frowned and let go of Qin Shuihan's hand.
"Shui Han, I'll go take a look."
Lin Yi gave him a firm smile, jumped off the rockery, and squeezed through the crowd.
She has a sense of responsibility as a doctor, and it is her duty to save lives and heal the wounded when encountering such a situation. However, she did not expect that the woman who fell on the ground turned out to be Guo Yun.
At this moment, Guo Yun was holding her stomach and kept shouting "stomach pain". The clothes on her lower body were slightly moist.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
Lin Yi immediately stepped forward to look through it. Fortunately, he might have been frightened and there was not much bleeding.
At this time, He Xu also rushed over. He was rummaging through the medicine box in a hurry, and he was already scared to death.
Guo Yun saw that the person next to her was Lin Yi and held her hand tightly.
"Princess Han...save the baby in my belly, save me..."
"Concubine Guo, don't be nervous!"
Lin Yi held her hand tightly and immediately looked around. The freezing cold weather outside was not the place to rescue someone.
She glanced at He Xu, who was still rummaging through the medicine box, and couldn't help frowning. This imperial doctor seemed unreliable.
"Doctor He, please quickly ask someone to carry Concubine Guo to the nearest house."
He Xu slapped his forehead helplessly, still like a fly spinning around without a head.
Lin Yi sighed, He Xu wasn't calling anyone, he was clearly talking in his sleep!
"Yes...here comes someone..."
Lin Yi sighed and talked louder than him in his sleep!
Although it was inconvenient for Qin Shuihan to approach Guo Yun, he still heard Lin Yi's instructions and immediately waved to the eunuch holding a lantern beside him.
"You go and help Princess Han."
When the eunuch saw that it was King Han who was speaking, he immediately put down his lantern and ran over.
At this time, Emperor Qin Ming and Zhen Qiang also came over.
Seeing Guo Yun being supported by the eunuch, Emperor Qin Ming's face darkened. He glanced at Lin Yi and He Xu again, and said coldly: "I order you to keep the dragon heir in Concubine Guo's belly no matter what."
He Xu was so frightened that he knelt down.
"Wei Chen takes orders."
At this time, Lin Yi was still holding Guo Yun's hand, neither kneeling nor not kneeling.
Emperor Qin Ming did not embarrass Lin Yi.
"There is no need to salute, Princess Han. You must ensure that my dragon heir is safe."
"Yes, my wife should do her best."
Lin Yi lowered his head, very dissatisfied with Emperor Qin Ming's words.
If the child is important, can we not care about the life or death of the mother?
Emperor Qin Ming looked at the dark gunpowder marks at his feet and said directly to the guards on the side: "Today's pyrotechnics makers will all be dragged down and beheaded."
The hair on Lin Yi's back stood up. She didn't dare to look back, so she could only follow the eunuchs to a small house not far away.
Although Emperor Qin Ming was not a tyrant, he was not a kind person either.
In ancient times, heirs were always hard to come by. It was said that of the three thousand beauties in the harem, only a few could give birth to dragon sons. This Guo Yun had just been promoted to concubine.
Emperor Qin Ming was overjoyed to have a son at this old age, and he loved her very much. Who would have thought that something like this would happen just by watching fireworks.
You must see some fireworks!
Zhen Qiang stared coldly in the direction Lin Yi was heading, and pursed her lips calmly.
Guo Yun asked for this!
She was worried that she couldn't find a way to deal with Guo Yun. After all, there was a new wave of doctors now, and there was no chance of prescribing any medicine. Since she relied on her favor to watch the fireworks, she let the little pyrotechnics maker kill her. !
But Zhen Qiang looked at Lin Yi's back and frowned.
Just kill her then. It’s impossible for this little girl to save anyone...
At this time, there was a burst of ghost crying and wolf howling not far away.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
"Spare my life..."
"The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die..."
ah--
The pyrotechnician's pleas for mercy died down instantly.
With a bang in his head, Lin Yi knew that it was an execution on the spot.
How cruel!
She shook her head and tried not to think about these things. The top priority was the patient in front of her.
A young eunuch pointed at the small room in front of him and asked with trembling fear: "Princess Han, is this imperial tea room okay?"
Lin Yi took a step and walked in. There was a low cave inside, surrounded by a lot of tea and snacks, as well as a large pot that kept boiling water.
She realized that this small room was equivalent to a modern tea room.
"Okay! Please be gentle and lift Concubine Guo to the squat!"
Several eunuchs carefully carried Guo Yun in.
Guo Yun's face turned pale and she stared directly at the beam, not sure whether it was due to blood loss or fright.
Lin Yi wiped her sweat, then leaned over to listen to the sounds of her organs, especially her stomach for a long time.
"Concubine Guo, please relax first. I just listened to the heartbeat of the fetus in your belly. The fetal heartbeat is stable. There is no problem with you and the baby. Now you just need to continue to observe it for one night."
He Xu on the side looked confused, how to determine the fetal heart rate?
Of course, they could only feel the pulse, and they couldn't put their ears to the belly of the emperor's concubines to listen for sounds.
That behavior does not implicate the Nine Clans...
Guo Yun quietly turned her head to Lin Yi and saw her firm expression, as if she finally realized that she was still alive.
"Princess Han, you didn't lie to me. I...touched...the blood on my dress..."
She slowly raised her arm, and the blood on her hand had turned brown.
"Empress, don't think so wildly! If Princess Han says you're fine, you must be fine!"
"The queen has her own destiny, everything will be fine!"
Lan Hui and Chun Ying chose to ignore He Xu, who was frightened on the side, but believed in Lin Yi unconditionally.
As long as someone tells them that the queen is fine.
Lan Hui quickly stood up and filled a basin of water. She wetted the handkerchief and gently wiped the blood on Guo Yun's hand.
At this time, Lin Yi was in urgent need of help.
"Doctor He, come here and help me."
He Xu looked at Lin Yi with a pale face.
"Princess Han, Empress Guo will give birth in one month..."
"Yes, I know. Please come over and help me open my skirt."
"..."
He Xu took a few steps and saw that Lin Yi's lifted skirt was covered in blood, and he collapsed to the ground with a plop.
Lin Yi quickly turned to look at him.
This time he fell to the ground with a thud, didn't his knees hurt?
"Doctor He, what's wrong with you?"
He Xu finally couldn't help crying in a low voice.
"Princess Han, you don't know something... Such things often happened in the palace back then, but Imperial Doctor Li was there at that time. He had excellent medical skills and dared to treat. But since he left, no one dared to treat the concubine. ...Once something happens...Long Yan will be furious, and we imperial doctors will have no choice but to be buried with him."
He Xu burst into tears and said that he was like a dead person.
I don’t know how many imperial doctors in the palace were executed because they failed to save the dragon heir.
Lin Yi frowned. She finally understood why he was so scared. Recalling that Emperor Qin Ming had just ordered the beheading of the pyrotechnics maker, Lin Yi also sighed.
That Emperor Qin Ming was indeed unreasonable. Even modern medicine could not guarantee that a woman could give birth safely, let alone in ancient times.
All we can do is do our best and obey fate!
Hearing what He Xu said was so scary, Guo Yun's mind went blank. She struggled to get up and look at her belly.
"Princess Han...I...my belly..."
Lin Yi realized her restless legs and quickly comforted her softly.
"Concubine Guo, you have to believe me!"
Lin Yi held down her legs and said to He Xu: "Yi Wang, today's Concubine Guo, the Emperor has given me the responsibility, so don't worry. Just stay here with me for one night."
Seeing the young He Xu bearing this pressure, Lin Yi couldn't bear it.
"Your name is Lan Hui, come and help me."
Lan Hui walked to Lin Yi quickly, but when she saw the blood under her skirt, she couldn't help but turn pale with fear.
Lin Yi saw that her hands were shaking so much, and thought that no one could use them at the critical moment!
"Lan Hui, go outside and look for my maid Biyue, and call her in quickly!"
Lan Hui put down her clothes and ran out as if she was receiving amnesty.
Lin Yi used her mouth to hang up the corner of Guo Yun's clothes and directly helped her to perform a simple hemostasis treatment.
The moment Bi Yue walked in, she was stunned by this scene.
The princess didn't look like a woman at all. The hem of her palace dress was lifted up and tied into a knot, revealing the narrow-leg velvet pants underneath, and the sleeves were rolled up on one side and low on the other.
"princess…"
"You're here. I wish I could have found you sooner."
Biyue was a little depressed. She kept guarding the door, but she didn't hear Lin Yi calling her.
Lan Hui lowered her head guiltily. She had recognized the wrong person just now and ran around chasing a maid who looked like Biyue. When she walked in, she realized that she was not the person she was looking for.
Fortunately, when I returned to the tea room, I saw Bi Yue standing at the door with a cold face.
Lin Yi felt that Biyue was definitely not afraid of blood.
"Come on, come and deal with these things with me."
She pointed to the low-sided basin.
Biyue hurried over.
The three basins were filled with blood, but each basin was lighter than the other.
The smell of blood in the whole house was not that strong, it seemed like it was just blood from cleaning.
Biyue glanced at He Xu, whose eyes were dull, like a puppet. She frowned. Isn't this the imperial doctor of the palace? What happened?
Is Concubine Guo at high risk for illness?
Won't! The princess did not look embarrassed.
Biyue didn't stop, picked up the basin and walked out.
After a while, Biyue brought three more clean washbasins.
Lin Yi nodded happily, Bi Yue was indeed reliable.
"Biyue, Concubine Guo is fine at the moment, but just in case, you stay with me and stay by her side."
Biyue nodded.
It was close to the ugly time, and Lin Yi couldn't resist the sleepiness, but she must not sleep now!
She decisively pulled out the silver needle and stabbed herself!
Although Concubine Guo's current condition is not abnormal, doctors are most afraid of being careless. A careless move may cause irreparable mistakes.
Everything was silent.
Lin Yi put down his rolled-up sleeves and stretched. It seemed that it was not so dark outside the house.
It's dawn now.
She looked at the people around her. Except for Biyue who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, everyone else was sleeping unsteadily. He Xu even had an arm full of drool.
Some... can't bear to look at it.
"It hurts... it hurts..."
Guo Yun's moans broke the silence at the moment.
Lin Yi was excited and walked over immediately. She felt her pulse and found that she felt bad and the adult's heartbeat was also unstable.
"Biyue!"
A sharp cry woke everyone up.
Biyue rolled her eyes and rushed over immediately. Although she was a little confused, she was always alert subconsciously.
He Xu was frightened awake by Lin Yi's screams and saw Guo Bin lying on the bed. There was a large amount of blood under Lin Yi's upturned quilt. He was like a frightened bird and stood beside the chair in fright.
"It's over, it's over...I'm destined to end today..."
He Xu's eyes were dim and he kept mumbling to himself.
So far, except for Li Yin, Emperor Qin Ming has not spared any of the imperial doctors when it comes to this kind of thing. What's more, this time, everyone knows that the Holy Emperor always has a son, and I'm afraid even killing the nine tribes will not be enough!
He Xu cursed Guo Yun thousands of times in his heart, harming others and himself, just watching the fireworks...
Seeing He Xu standing aside with despair, Lin Yi had no time to comfort him and immediately ordered Lan Hui and Chun Ying to call Po Wen.
After a while, two old ladies from the palace rushed over.
They didn't expect it to be a concubine who was not yet full term. They looked at each other and immediately waved their hands and said they couldn't deliver the baby.
Lin Yi knew that they didn't want to take responsibility, and she was filled with anger. They all shirk responsibility like this. These people should be dragged out and beheaded!
After all, Guo Yun is just a concubine. The Wen Po in the palace naturally knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Even if the emperor favors her again, she will not kill old people like them.
After all, they not only delivered babies, but also "processed" the offspring for the emperor and queen.
Just when Lin Yi was holding back her anger, there was another burst of mighty footsteps outside the door.
"The Emperor has arrived."
