Chapter 188 Premature birth
Chapter 188 Premature birth
Spring goes and summer comes, autumn goes and winter comes, the four seasons change, and it is almost the end of the year again.
First, Shen Meizhuang gave birth to a little prince named Hongcheng, and Shen Meizhuang also became Huipin from Shenpin.
Next came Concubine Jing and Concubine Li, who each gave birth to a little princess, one named Yong'an and the other Yongning.
Xia Dongchun and An Lingrong also became pregnant one after another. Except for Noble Lady Qi and Noble Lady Fucha who made some noise, everyone else in the harem was relatively harmonious.
This winter is particularly cold, and Su He takes her three children to sleep in the space every day.
Su He had just finished telling a story to the two little ones and went back to his room to lie down and prepare for sleep when he was awakened by the alarm sound in the space.
Su He flashed out of the space, "Cui Guo, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth."
"Don't worry, it will be fine once the person arrives. It doesn't matter if it's early or late. Go tell Lingrong and Xiao Siji to have a good rest in the palace. Protecting the fetus is the most important thing."
When Su He arrived, everyone except Nian Shilan was there.
"Xiao He, why are you here in such a cold night? Is the child settled?"
"The Queen's childbirth is a big deal, how could I not be here?"
"Stay with me for a while."
"Greetings to Concubine Hua~"
"Shilan, you are here too?"
There was a gleam of light in Fat Orange's eyes.
"I heard that the Queen had a premature birth, so I hurried to see her."
"I don't know either. When I came, the Queen's place was in chaos."
"Your Majesty, this woman has to wait for the birth. The weather is so cold, Your Majesty should go back and rest early. It won't be too late for Your Majesty to come back when you have news~"
Su He yawned with his sleeves and said, "What Concubine Hua said is right. It is not suitable to keep so many people here. Not only can they not help, but it is also easy for people to take advantage of loopholes. Too many people in this closed space will easily breed bacteria, which is not good for the mother. It is enough to have the imperial physician and the people around the queen."
"Is Wei Lin here?"
"Your Majesty, Jiang Fuhai has already gone to the Thirteenth Master's residence to invite him."
"Then I will wait until Wei Lin arrives before leaving."
[I can't tell. When did Fatty Orange develop such deep feelings for the Queen? ]
[Is it because I don’t want to accompany the birth that I deliberately made up a lie about bacteria breeding to lie to him? ! ! ]
[What are you looking at, you big fat orange? I just don't want to accompany her during childbirth. What's wrong with that? I'm not her husband, and the child is not mine. In her previous life, she killed Concubine Qi, and I didn't kill her. Her ancestors are in great trouble.]
"I hope the queen can give birth to this baby safely, so that not only I will have one more child, but you will also have one more child."
Yinzhen looked at the concubines in the bedroom and said earnestly.
[It's so funny, so funny. Why was she so angry when she found out that Zhen Huan's child was not hers? She even tried to use blood test to identify her kinship again and again. She is such a hypocrite! ]
Yinzhen:...
"I pay my respects to His Majesty and all the ladies."
"How is my thirteenth brother?"
"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Master is in good health. This year's condition is better than last year."
"Well, you've worked hard. Shake off the snow and go see the queen."
"Yes."
"How is the Queen?"
"It may be because the weather is getting colder. The queen is an elderly mother and her body functions are relatively weak. Her body couldn't bear it for a while, which led to the premature birth of the fetus."
"How long will it take for this baby to be born?"
"I can't say for sure. The midwife said we may have to wait a long time."
"Do you need to perform the same surgery on the Queen as the one that Noble Lady Fucha had last time?"
"It can be done, but it depends on the Queen's physical condition and her own decision. At present, although the Queen is in premature labor, she has a chance to give birth to the child herself, but I dare not guarantee it."
"Well, it's up to you. The queen and the child must be alive."
"I will do my best."
"I'm going back first, you guys can go away too."
Changchun Palace
"Xiao Yingzi, why are you waiting for me outside?"
"Greetings to the two ladies. Lady An and Lady Xia are waiting inside."
"Sister, are you back?"
"Why don't you two go back to sleep? Why are you staying up so late at night?"
"We can't sleep~"
Xia Dongchun has become more and more fond of acting like a spoiled child since she became pregnant.
"My two sisters, how is the queen? Why did you come back so soon? Is she giving birth?"
"Not yet? According to Wei Lin, it should be early."
"The queen stays in her palace every day, never leaving the main gate or the secondary gate. How could she have a premature birth?"
"Wei Lin said that it was because the Queen was in poor health and she was an elderly mother, so she couldn't adapt to the cold weather all of a sudden."
"I don't believe that. Maybe it's because I did too many bad things in the past and this is retribution."
"Only Sister Nian would dare to say that." Xia Dongchun covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"What is this? I dare to say this even in front of that old woman, the Queen."
"But it's still a bit strange." Su He frowned.
"What's weird?"
"When the Emperor asked Wei Lin to save the lives of the Queen and the child, it didn't seem like a face-saving move, but rather came from the heart."
"Hmph, I'm afraid you're getting too into the role. No matter if it's a child or a woman, to our emperor, they're just passers-by, pawns. How can there be any deep affection for them?" Nian Shilan's face was full of disgust.
Lingrong, who had been silent the whole time, had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Lingrong, do you have any ideas?"
"I guess the reason why the emperor wants to protect the queen is to ensure the stability of the harem. If the queen dies, I'm afraid the former dynasty and the harem will not be at peace."
Su He couldn't help but admire, "Ling Rong's guess is very reasonable."
"That's what I said. This is more like our emperor. Okay, don't mention that annoying thing. Sister, did you tell the emperor about the Women's Federation thing you mentioned last time?"
"Not yet. Everyone has been busy recently and I don't have time to prepare it. When it is done, all the regulations will be reviewed by us sisters first."
The four of them chatted for a while before Lingrong and Xiao Siji left.
Nian Shilan also followed Su He into the space.
"Sister, everyone sent me messages."
"How to say?"
"All of them said that the queen had a premature birth because she drank the Nine Cold Soup."
"Nine Cold Soup? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Su He scratched his head, unable to remember it.
"How could it not sound familiar? Didn't Concubine Qi put Nine Cold Soup in the red date soup that she gave to Ye Lanyi? It was also the fuse of your death."
After Nian Shilan's reminder, Su He also remembered.
"You're following the drama so fast that you've already seen Concubine Qi die?"
“Not only that, I’ve watched it all and am watching it for the second time now.”
