Empress Zhu asked Jiang Xinyue a few questions, but Jiang Chuan blocked her back. What did everyone think? Are you regretting that he can't harm his mother-in-law this time? Jiang Chuan can't control this.
What he has to do is to prevent anyone outside Hexi Palace from coming into contact with his mother-in-law.
Of course, except the emperor.
"I have met the emperor."
Queen Zhu led everyone to salute and then stood up hurriedly: "Your Majesty, how is Concubine Shu?"
Emperor Xuanwu had a straight face and was about to speak when Grandma Li ran out with her hands covered in blood: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Concubine Shu is having a difficult delivery. The baby is too big and is stuck and can't come out. And... and it's in vain. The doctor said that Concubine Shu's baby is only six months old, and it is estimated that all the organs are not mature yet, so even if she is born, she will not survive."
Doctor Bai is the apprentice of Imperial Physician Yan. Before entering, she was told by Jiang Xinyue: "No matter who asks, you must tell me that the child in Concubine Shu's belly will not survive. Otherwise, the Emperor will settle the matter afterwards. Your and Imperial Physician Yan's heads will be ruined." I can’t even save this palace.”
Doctor Bai can't understand the emperor's thoughts, but that doesn't matter. There is Concubine Zhen who can understand the emperor's thoughts, so she can just obey and do as she is told.
Originally, not many children who were seven or eight months old could survive after birth, not to mention that Concubine Shu had only been pregnant for six months.
I wasn't well cared for during my pregnancy, and after only six months, I became as fat as someone else's full-term fetus. Thinking about it, I know it's unhealthy.
It's just that Concubine Zhen's meaning seems to be implying that the emperor does not want this child to survive.
But it's none of her business. It's already a miracle that Concubine Shu can survive. Let's see if the emperor protects her elder or younger, right?
Emperor Xuanwu gritted his molar teeth and said: "Since it is destined to not survive even after birth, why bother? Hurry and save Concubine Shu."
Only then did Grandma Li take reassurance, and hurriedly turned around and rushed to her "battlefield" again.
This time, there is no need to worry about the life and death of the baby in Empress Shu’s belly. If she can’t give birth, it’s only right to force her to let Empress Shu survive.
Those who didn't know it thought that the emperor liked Concubine Shu so much that he didn't even want to have his own children.
Only Empress Zhu felt cold in her heart, the emperor... he was too cruel.
Knowing that Empress Dowager Wu was waiting for this child to be born to help the Wu family regain its glory, the emperor did not want Concubine Shu's child to survive at all.
No wonder when Mrs. Pei said that she would give this child to Concubine Li to raise, the emperor agreed without even thinking about it.
"Save my child! No! Your Majesty...save my concubine's child..."
Concubine Shu's voice was shrill and shrill, which made those who heard it sad.
She was still thinking about it at the moment. If Concubine Zhen was outside, she would be frightened by her appearance. I wonder if she still has the courage to give birth to a child for the emperor?
After all, Zhenbi is just a little girl in her teens. She has never seen the dangers of a woman giving birth. This time, she must have experienced it!
I heard that if a pregnant woman is always in a state of fear, her baby will be easily miscarried.
"It's happening, it's happening!"
In the severe pain, Concubine Shu felt her tight lower body relax, and a stream of water leaked out from her stomach. Her whole body was like cotton floating in the air, feeling extremely comfortable.
"ah!"
A little palace maid screamed, and Concubine Shu immediately wanted to sit up: "My child...my child, let me see my child."
It was one thing not to want the child anymore, but when she actually gave birth to the child safely, the tenderness of a first-time mother made her reluctant to let go.
Grandma Li looked embarrassed: "Shu Fei... this nose... this child... he is a deformed child."
Moreover, her breathing was weak and she couldn't even cry. It was obvious that she had choked on the amniotic fluid when she was in the mother's womb, and it was no longer effective.
"presumptuous!"
Concubine Shu shouted angrily with all her strength: "Give me your child."
Grandma Li had no choice but to hand the little baby boy, who weighed eight or nine kilograms but had only one arm and one eye, to Concubine Shu.
"Ahh..."
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu just took one look and screamed and fainted. Doctor Bai was busy again, and Grandma Li hugged the dead baby boy and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, he is a little prince, but ...Not fully grown yet, already..."
Even if I don’t say anything else later, everyone will understand. I have lost another son. It would be a lie to say that I don’t feel anything in my heart.
Emperor Xuanwu lowered his eyes so that no one could see the redness in his eyes, and waved to Nanny Li: "Wang Dequan..."
His voice was so choked that he could no longer speak.
But Wang De fully understood what he meant and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will bury the little prince and send him to Sheng'an Temple, so that the eminent monks can liberate the little prince."
For a prince who dies before his teeth are born, the burial ceremony is the same as any other. It is relatively simple and there is no distinction between big and small. Some coffins will be parked in a temple in the capital, while others will be buried in the mausoleum where the father is buried. The mausoleum of the prince.
Considering Concubine Shu's identity, the Queen Mother's stubborn temperament, and the emperor's past affection for Concubine Shu, Wang Dequan arranged to go to Sheng'an Temple to be chanted and saved, and then buried in the prince's mausoleum.
Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and said to Imperial Physician Yan: "Can Concubine Shu move now?"
Seeing blood in Hexi Palace was taboo. Concubine Shu's dystocia frightened Concubine Zhen. He didn't want Concubine Shu to stay here to recuperate and let Concubine Zhen think of what happened today when she saw her.
Imperial Physician Yan bowed and said, "It's okay to carry it on a stretcher and not let Concubine Shu use her own strength."
Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand, and Tang Shiliang immediately stepped forward. The emperor ordered: "Go to the imperial hospital to find a stretcher and have Concubine Shu be carried back to Kunning Palace. Then find some imperial doctors to diagnose and treat Concubine Shu. When will she be better?" When will the imperial doctor return to the imperial hospital?"
In other words, there is no need to arrange for Concubine Shu to have a very skilled physician with a busy schedule, otherwise she will always be dominated by the Kunning Palace, and the masters of other palaces will not be able to find the most skilled physician.
"Pregnant women should not be exposed to the wind. Remember to dress Concubine Shu tightly."
Tang Shiliang responded one by one, feeling that the scene in front of him was very similar to the scene when Concubine Shu pulled out the hairpin and stabbed her neck in order to prove that she had not pushed the concubine into the water.
That day, the emperor also felt that Concubine Shu had seen blood and collided with Concubine Zhen, so he had people carry Concubine Shu back to Jingren Palace without stopping.
No wonder his godfather always told him to be more respectful to Hexigong.
It turned out that the godfather had noticed at that time that in the emperor's heart, the status of Concubine Zhen had surpassed that of Concubine Shu.
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for my mother-in-law."
Lian Xin knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Li who pushed Concubine Shu. Please forgive me for offending Concubine Shu! The little prince... The little prince was still angry just now. He could have survived, but Concubine Li killed him!"
