The First Empress - Chapter 214
Chapter 214 To Give Birth to a Child Like Nezha
“According to His Majesty, I can’t tell you about this, after all, Empress, for the sake of this lowly official and the others, please leave a little gold in front of the Emperor. “Don’t let the emperor know. Otherwise, this lowly official will die without a burial ground. The emperor has already said it before, lest the empress find out that it will make it harder for the child to give birth if she becomes restless in the future. This is because everyone has known for a long time that you are the only one who doesn’t know.” Pei Minghai gushed endlessly. Linglong could only say, “Get up. This palace is not a Hedong Lion. This palace knows that there are only advantages and no disadvantages. This palace should prepare beforehand to avoid cramming up at the last minute.”
Only then did Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan stand up. Linglong asked another two questions. Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan did not dare to neglect to answer them one by one. Linglong had Qin’er and Ah Shen seal the reward and let the two of them leave.
Qin’er and Ah Wen walked in with her heart untuned. Linglong’s heart was filled with sorrow, and her face was filled with sorrow. She looked at Qin’er and Ah Wen in disbelief and said, “It seems like you all know?”
Ah Wen nodded, and Qin’er also nodded, “This servant knows.”
Linglong sneered, “How dare you? Since you all know why you didn’t tell me earlier, you are still servants of this palace. Losing money, this palace has always treated you like sisters. Do you actually serve this palace like this?” Linglong’s sleeves swept across the table in a cold arc.
“It’s not that this servant has to hide it from Your Highness. However, Your Highness should not have known earlier. The outside world is already eyeing the prince covetously. If Your Highness still has internal worries, wouldn’t it be even harder for her to protect the fetus?” After Qin’er finished speaking, she knelt down and said, “This servant does not intend to hide anything from Your Highness. However, the time has not come. When the time comes, this servant will naturally inform Your Highness.”
Linglong regretted her mistake. What kind of person was Qin’er? She had served her for so many years. How could she not tell herself such an important matter? Thinking of this, Linglong felt guilty and shy. However, Qin’er said with utter disapproval, “Your Highness is naturally in a bad mood when she is pregnant. This servant is also confused, so please don’t blame her.”
“This palace has wrongly blamed you. I feel guilty in my heart.” As Linglong spoke, she helped Qin’er and Ah Sheng up. Ah Sheng did not like to talk, so it was fine for Qin’er to explain. After Qin’er said a few words, Linglong nodded and thought, “Imperial Physician Pei said that if the fetal position is not right, it requires more exercise. When the time comes, the delivery will be smoother. You guys accompany me to the back porch.”
It was already dark outside. Actually, Linglong didn’t really want to move. However, she just wanted to think about why Lan Shuyu and Concubine De didn’t find someone to assassinate her when she was walking. This was strange once and for all.
The wind blew the trees and the moon into the hangings. Under the cold shade, the grass and insects cried out in sorrow. Linglong was supported by Qin’er and Ah Guo to the corridor in front of her. She was already a newborn Gui Spirit. The sky was clear and bright. Linglong was in a much better mood. She asked, “Look, why didn’t Lan Sou Yu and Concubine Mude come?”
Qin’er thought for a while and said, “It’s just that she wants us to relax our vigilance. First, the Emperor’s harsh laws are there, so they might be afraid. Second, they naturally want to take advantage of this opportunity to enter.”
Linglong thought the same way, and could not help but nod and say, “Take advantage of the void and enter?”
Qin’er said, “Wouldn’t it be easier to take action when no one is paying attention to these things?” Linglong nodded and said, “It’s been almost eight months. You must be careful, okay?” Seeing Linglong’s pleading expression, Qin’er naturally nodded her head repeatedly. Ah Wen said, “Your Highness, don’t worry. With Ah Wen here, outsiders can’t think of doing anything wrong in Yunluan Palace.” Linglong was naturally overjoyed to see such a good pair of maids beside her. The three of them walked around the corridor for a while before returning.
Thus, according to Pei Minghai, Linglong would come out two or three times a day, hoping that it would be easier to produce at that time. It had already been two months, and now it was already autumn. However, the weather was still hot, so it wasn’t very cool.
Autumn winds blew and leaves fell. Linglong carefully walked outside with the help of Qin’er and A’er. She didn’t have any destination, but she just walked horizontally and vertically. Even Chen Chongyi said that it would be much easier to move when she gave birth to a child. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even need a bit of strength at that time.
These days, even Huiqi often came over. Linglong knew that Huiqi was worried and her face was full of radiance. She said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. Your concubines are naturally safe and sound.” Only then did Huiqi leave peacefully. Seeing Linglong walking around the palace every day, she understood what Linglong meant. She had the Imperial Cuisine Room bring Linglong all sorts of things that no one had ever seen before. Linglong bowed and received them one by one.
Recently, Linglong’s appetite had also increased, and she had eaten more and more.
The three of them were walking, Suddenly, Linglong’s feet softened and she fell down. Fortunately, Ah Wen was quick-witted, She supported Linglong, Qin’er’s heart was burning with anxiety. The two carefully supported Linglong onto the cloud couch in the inner hall. He hurriedly asked Xiao Zhuozi to call for a doctor. The two doctors came one after the other. Even Huiqi was shocked. It wasn’t often that Huiqi was shocked. Huiqi had always been a cold and iceberg-like person, but today …
“Bastard, can’t you see why the Empress is unconscious?” Seeing Pei Minghai’s trembling horn, Huiqi was getting impatient after waiting for a while, Seeing that Linglong was already nine months pregnant and it was time to give birth, they didn’t seem to be able to see why Linglong was unconscious at all. Huiqi pushed the two of them away with his sleeves. He held Linglong’s hand and said, “Probably about to give birth. These two people are useless. They still need a stable woman to come over.”
Pei Minghai and Hu Zongnan were greatly shocked. Normally, they would help concubines give birth, but today, they were actually removed from their positions because of two sentences that they did not say well. They couldn’t help but feel even more afraid in their hearts. Huiqi coldly said, “Get up!” Later on, Wen Grandma will come over. You can help her from the side. If anything happens to Zhao Yi, then the festival will be your fault. You can rest well. “After Huiqi finished speaking, he said,” Prepare the oxytocin. Don’t cram your feet at the last minute. “The two of them went away trembling.
Far away, the night was cold, and the autumn wind blew with white dew.
Linglong woke up. When she saw Huiqi hugging her, her entire body was weak. Huiqi said, “You fainted, but don’t be afraid. The imperial physician has already said that it’s time to give birth. At that time, you should calm down and don’t think about anything. I will stand here without leaving a single step.”
Linglong was grateful and couldn’t help but shed tears. Huiqi stretched out his hand to wipe away the translucent tears and said, “Don’t cry. Just do as Wen Po said later. Do you understand?” Linglong gritted her teeth and said, “Understood.”
It was already nightfall, and Wen Grandma finally came. This Wen Grandma had delivered Princess Zhen Xi and Princess Baoluo before, so she naturally had some tricks. Huiqi saw Wen Grandma kowtow and said, “Get up. I will reward you well after the prince is born. You and them must be careful in these few hours.” Huiqi pointed at the girl beside him, Royal servant, and the two imperial physicians. It seemed that everyone was very serious.
Wen Po glanced at Ling Long. Ling Long only felt a little afraid. For some reason, it seemed like this Wen Po was carrying a kind of baleful aura. Wen Po said, “Empress, don’t be afraid. Let this servant look at her child.” She reached out and gently caressed Linglong’s waist and abdomen. There was already some concern in her heart. Then, she instructed Qin’er, “Go and boil a pot of boiling water. Put the two silver scissors inside and boil them properly. This servant will instruct you later.”
Qin’er wanted to let the little palace maid go, but she was worried and afraid of being tampered with. She could only go by herself. Linglong looked at Qin’er and said, “Help this palace well, good” Qin’er nodded her head repeatedly. A’er stood beside Linglong, lest anyone harm her at this time.
At this time, even Ji Zhu Hua came over with a worried expression. He held Ling Long’s hand and said, “Don’t get up. Carefully move your fetal qi. I heard that the Emperor is coming over from this palace. He is going to be a mother.” Ji Zhuhua looked at Linglong affectionately, then looked at the stable woman in front of him. He didn’t know what was going on, but he felt that this stable woman looked a little familiar.
Linglong smiled and said, “Your Majesty’s mother is the most respected woman in the world. It’s easy to return to the palace to rest. Your Majesty will not disappoint me. I will definitely give birth smoothly and smoothly. Your Majesty must not overwork.” Linglong said softly. Ji Zhuhua nodded and looked around. “This palace can’t help much. You just have to work hard yourself.”
Just as the carriage was talking, Linglong suddenly felt as if someone was squeezing her lower abdomen. The pain was so severe that she couldn’t help but exclaim, “It hurts-it hurts so much.”
The sturdy woman walked over expressionlessly and calmly, saying, “Your Highness is about to give birth. Your Highness, please excuse yourself for a moment and leave two palace maids to serve. Imperial Physician Pei and Imperial Physician Hu will also be invited out.” “Your Majesty, Your Majesty … Your Majesty … Your Majesty … Your Majesty … Your Majesty … Your Majesty …” Linglong held Huiqi’s hand tightly.
Huiqi stretched out her hand and pulled it out of Linglong’s hand. Linglong felt even more intense pain. She felt like she was a rope and was getting tighter and tighter …
“Your Majesty …” Linglong felt so painful that there was nothing she could do. Sweat flowed down her face. Her entire body was covered in sweat. The sweat had soaked her clothes and bed. Although Linglong had tried her best to hold back her shouts, the pain was still completely unbearable to Linglong. She tightly gripped the corner of the quilt, tightly …
“This servant, Mrs. Zhang, assists the Empress in giving birth. You can rest assured. This servant has already delivered two princesses.” Linglong’s mind was in pain, but she still heard this sentence. Her ghost-like hands flattened Linglong’s body. Linglong only felt that she no longer had any strength left in her body. “No, no …”
Linglong was just afraid. There must be something wrong with this steady woman. “She has already delivered two princesses” meant that she did not deliver a prince. Why? Why?
