The reason why Han Xianzong was so anxious was because Xie Ziyue was afraid of thunderstorms.
He had just been staying in the Qinzheng Hall to handle government affairs. Because the door was closed and the curtains were hung, he didn't hear the sound of rain outside.
But the moment he stepped out of the gate of Qinzheng Hall, his hearing seemed to be captured by the sound of thunder and rain.
The pouring rain coupled with the occasional flash of lightning, and bursts of thunder in the sky from time to time.
Emperor Xianzong of the Han Dynasty walked quickly. He couldn't wait for the blessing, couldn't wait for the sedan chair to be driven out, and hurried towards Weiyang Palace.
Laifu trotted behind to catch up. He only held an umbrella for Han Xianzong and was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
The rain was pouring, and even if he asked Han Xianzong, he couldn't hear him. And generally Han Xianzong was so anxious because of Xie Ziyue's matter.
And the direction we are walking now is indeed the way to Weiyang Palace.
The master and the servant hurried towards Weiyang Palace. Because the rain was too heavy, the effect of the oil-paper umbrella was really limited. After a while, both of them were wet.
At this moment, in the Weiyang Palace, the candle that was about to burn out was about to shed a drop of candle tears. Under the curtain that was put down, Xie Ziyue slept particularly uneasily.
There was a little sweat on her fair and plump forehead, as if she had had a nightmare. The round and full belly under the brocade quilt was not quiet either.
Gu Xuan originally fell asleep with her mother and concubine, but when she was sleeping soundly, she was suddenly awakened by a contraction.
The soft uterine cavity that had enveloped her for more than eight months seemed to be repelling her at this moment, contracting regularly from time to time, making her very uncomfortable.
She moved uncomfortably. The contraction was not strong, so she didn't pay much attention. But before she could fall asleep, the uncomfortable feeling soon appeared again.
The feeling of contraction and squeezing is what Gu Xuan can currently experience.
Could it be that he was about to be born?
Realizing this, Gu Xuan felt relieved and immediately eased her movements in the mother's belly.
She thought to herself that Xie Ziyue was not awake yet, so she should be calmer so that Xie Ziyue could rest more.
But God was not kind to her. As soon as she thought of this, she saw a flash of white light in the sky, and it was as bright as day in an instant.
"Boom——"
The next second, huge thunder resounded throughout the entire world, and the sound was so loud that it seemed as if the entire ground was shaking.
Gu Xuan shrank subconsciously from such a huge thunder.
"Ah——" Xie Ziyue was frightened and woke up.
She stood up from the bed almost instantly, shouting in a panic: "Taoxiang, come here, come here, Taoxiang..."
Tao Xiang was standing guard in the outer room. When she heard the sound in the inner hall, she rushed in in panic:
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
When she came in, she saw Xie Ziyue huddled in fear and covering herself tightly with the quilt.
Tao Xiang looked around and saw that the window in the outer room was open, and she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed at herself.
It seems that the empress was frightened by the thunder. If she could close the window, the thunder would not be so loud.
She quickly closed the window, then came to Xie Ziyue's bedside and comforted her softly:
"Mother, it's okay. I have already closed the window."
There was no more thunder, and Xie Ziyue's fear slowly calmed down.
When she was about to calm down, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her belly.
It was true that she had never had stomach pain in the past, but it was not this kind of pain... At this time, her stomach felt heavy and contracted from time to time. Could it be that the baby was about to come out?
Thinking of this, Xie Ziyue covered her abdomen in panic: "Taoxiang, go and call the imperial doctor quickly, my stomach hurts so much."
Taoxiang was frightened and rushed out of the room to call the other palace ladies and eunuch Dr. Xuan. As a result, he rushed to the door, and the door was opened from the outside. Han Xianzong and Laifu, who were soaked, stood at the door.
Seeing Taoxiang's face full of panic, Han Xianzong stepped into the room without even thinking about what to ask.
But Laifu knew that he could not help much. After hearing Taoxiang say that the imperial concubine had a stomachache, he turned around and asked the imperial doctor.
It happened to be that Dr. Kang was on duty tonight. When Laifu said that the imperial concubine had a stomachache, Dr. Kang guessed that the concubine was probably going to give birth. He did not dare to delay and packed up the necessary medicinal materials. We hurried to Weiyang Palace.
At this time, Xie Ziyue was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain and was lying on the bed tossing and turning. After some diagnosis and treatment, Imperial Physician Kang asked Taoxiang to invite Po Wen.
If there is a concubine in the palace who is pregnant, several experienced wives will be asked to prepare for it. After all, when the imperial concubine gave birth, the imperial physician was just watching over her, but Po Wen was the one who really played the role.
Hearing that his beloved concubine was about to give birth and seeing her in so much pain, Han Xianzong felt extremely distressed and wanted to stay by Xie Ziyue's side life and death.
Finally, several experienced Wenpo came and urged and invited Han Xianzong reluctantly to leave the main hall. But he was still worried, pacing anxiously at the door, sometimes putting his head on the door to listen to what was going on inside.
The screams that came from inside made him extremely worried, especially when he opened the door and brought out the basins of blood, Han Xianzong turned pale.
Lying on the delivery bed, Xie Ziyue felt as if her belly was not a child, but a hot iron. The pain made her face turn red, and she wished she could just die.
The encouragement from the stable ladies and Tao Xiang was like a world away in her ears. She couldn't hear anyone's voice at all, so she could only rely on instinct to breathe heavily and pull on the ribbon on the beam.
"The Imperial Concubine, please use your strength -" Po Wen kept looking around and saw that Xie Ziyue was in pain and had made no progress, so she became a little nervous.
Everyone in the palace said that the imperial concubine was the favorite of Han Xianzong, and the facts proved that it was true. Han Xianzong was soaked and still guarding the door. If anything happened to these two ancestors in their hands, they would Where is the life left?
Thinking of this, the stable women became more nervous, and their voices encouraging Xie Ziyue became louder and louder.
Gu Xuan only felt that the place that used to wrap her up softly was now eager to push her out, and she also tried her best to squeeze out.
After all, she knew how good her mother-in-law was and didn't want her mother-in-law to suffer.
But maybe it was because she had drunk too many miscarriage pills before, Xie Ziyue's strength was very weak, and after another effort, she slumped down on the bed.
A black hair was wrapped around her neck and pillow. She was covered in sweat and her lips were bitten in pain.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Doctor Kang immediately asked Xie Ziyue to take a piece of ginseng in her mouth. She finally regained some strength and continued to pull on the ribbon.
"The Imperial Concubine! You can see your head, use more force!"
I don’t know how much time passed, but it seemed that the rain outside had stopped. The stable women finally saw the progress, and they were almost no longer crying with joy, so they quickly continued to urge.
Taoxiang had long since cried in distress. At this time, she hurriedly leaned into Xie Ziyue's ear and asked her to exert her strength, and the emperor's heir came out immediately.
Xie Ziyue was in so much pain that she was about to faint. When she heard these words, she thought that she would see Huang'er soon, and she suddenly felt as if she had infinite strength in her body.
"Ah——" Han Xianzong, who was waiting anxiously at the door, heard Xie Ziyue's extremely high-pitched scream.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voices of the ladies weeping with joy: "She's given birth, my queen has given birth!"
