Chapter 129 Birth
"what happened?"
"A young eunuch was found in the kitchen, secretly adding something to the Empress's medicine, but it has not yet been determined whether it is poison."
An Lingrong gritted her teeth. "It's come to this, and there are still people who are not afraid of death!" If I don't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys today, I'm afraid my sister will suffer even more. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.
Having made up her mind, An Lingrong steeled her heart, "Xiao Luzi, go ask that eunuch which hand touched my medicine, and chop off that arm. If he touched both hands, chop off both hands!"
"Yes!"
After a while, the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling were heard outside the hall. A moment later, Xiao Luzi entered the hall holding a blood-stained knife.
"Anyone else wants to try?" An Lingrong asked coldly.
Everyone was frightened by her terrifying aura.
After a while, an elderly nanny came over to the delivery bed with a cup of tea.
An Lingrong keenly smelled the tea and asked, "What is this?"
The maid replied calmly, "My lady, this is wolfberry water. It nourishes the yin and strengthens the kidneys. It's just right for Your Majesty."
An Lingrong looked into her eyes and said sinisterly, "That's not right. This water tastes sweet and slightly bitter. To me, it smells more like safflower, don't you think?"
The nanny didn't look panicked at all. "My lady, you must have smelled it wrong. This is wolfberry water. If you don't believe me, I will drink it for you to see." After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank up all the tea in the cup.
Looking at her actions, An Lingrong snorted coldly, but she actually admired her calmness and composure. She slowly stood up, dragged the knife to the front of the nanny, snatched the cup from her hand and threw it to the ground, and the cup instantly shattered into pieces.
"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you destroyed the evidence? Xiao Luzi, drag her to the Ministry of Punishment, perform a laparotomy, and take out the tea!"
The deep voice seemed to come from the abyss, carrying an irresistible majesty.
The maids and servants in the palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled uncontrollably. The person before them seemed weak and unable to take care of himself, yet he was capable of such a cruel thing.
"Yes!" Xiao Luzi stepped forward and called two young eunuchs to pull her away.
The nanny finally showed a look of fear on her face, and she crawled tremblingly to An Lingrong's feet, "My lady, please spare me! My lady, please spare me!"
An Lingrong sneered, a cold glint in her eyes. "Spare my life? Did you ever think this would be the outcome before you did this? You might have thought I would spare your life just to get you to reveal who was behind this, right? But I know who's behind this better than you do. I'm going to take your life!"
Hearing this, the nanny's face turned pale as paper, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and her body trembled uncontrollably. However, she knew she had no way out. Her eyes immediately turned fierce, and she stopped begging for mercy. She climbed up and shouted, "You are so cruel, this child must..."
Xiao Luzi already knew what she was going to say next. Without waiting for An Lingrong's instructions, he clenched his fist and smashed it hard on her chin. In an instant, the jawbone was shattered and hung on her face in a strange and weird shape.
"Ah—" A shrill scream rang out, and the nanny covered her broken jaw, blood gushing from between her fingers, staining her clothes red. She fell to the ground in pain, her body curled up tightly.
"Drag her away!" An Lingrong ordered coldly.
Two eunuchs immediately stepped forward and dragged the nanny out of the room, but the air was filled with a terrifying atmosphere.
The hall fell silent instantly.
"Who else?" An Lingrong's eyes flashed with brilliance as she asked the people in the hall in a deep voice!
Sure enough, those people with dishonest looks withdrew their gazes and began to concentrate on their own work.
As soon as An Lingrong relaxed, the pain in her back surged over her like a tidal wave. "Cai Xing, go get me some clothes."
Caixing hurried to get it, but An Lingrong didn't have time to change and just wore it outside!
"Xiao Luzi, are you ready for the wet nurse thing?"
"Don't worry, my lady. I asked Doctor Wen for that medicine a while ago. It works very quickly!"
"Okay, as soon as the baby is born, do it immediately."
"Yes!"
After drinking the ginseng soup, Shen Meizhuang regained some strength.
Half an hour after taking the labor-inducing drug, Su Ye's excited voice was heard from the palace, "It's all right, it's all right, the cervix is open, Your Majesty can give birth now!"
The palace maids acted quickly, and the midwife in charge of the delivery immediately taught Shen Meizhuang how to exert force.
Fortunately, Su Ye controlled Shen Meizhuang's diet and took her for a walk in Yonghe Palace after dinner every day. The baby in her belly was not too fat and the fetal position was also normal.
A quarter of an hour later, a loud cry resounded through the Forbidden City like thunder. At the same time, the long-awaited rain began to fall, moistening the dry earth.
Yongzheng, the empress and Madam Shen rode in a sedan chair through the East Five Buildings and headed straight for Yonghe Palace.
Suddenly, a baby cried, and it began to rain in the Forbidden City. Eunuchs' voices echoed from all over the palace, "The Sixth Prince is born! The Sixth Prince is born!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. It rained from heaven as soon as the Sixth Prince was born. This is an auspicious sign. May God bless our Qing Dynasty!" Su Peisheng's face was full of smiles.
"Good, good, good!" Yongzheng was overjoyed and urged the people carrying the sedan chair to move faster.
Su Ye wrapped Liudan in a quilt and walked to An Lingrong to show her, but An Lingrong didn't bother to look at him and dragged her heavy steps to Shen Meizhuang's bed.
Shen Meizhuang's face was pale and her eyes were tightly closed.
An Lingrong felt her vision go dark and she was about to faint. In order to stay awake, she bit her tongue again, and her mouth was instantly filled with the taste of blood.
"Wei Lin, take the pulse!"
"Yes!"
After taking the pulse, Wei Lin replied, "Your Majesty is fine. She just fainted from exhaustion and will wake up soon."
"Re-examination!"
Wei Lin looked at her somewhat ferocious expression and didn't dare to say anything more. He took her pulse carefully again.
"My lady, Concubine Hui is safe and sound. She will wake up in an hour!"
"Wei Lin, tell me honestly, will my sister have a hemorrhage?"
Today's situation is similar to the plot in the drama. Shen Meizhuang was frightened and had a difficult delivery. So much work was done to prevent this from happening.
Wei Lin didn't understand why Lady Wen was suddenly worried about this. In his opinion, the delivery had gone smoothly, so this shouldn't happen. But seeing Lady Wen's serious expression, he didn't dare to take it lightly. "Hemorrhage often occurs after childbirth. I will take good care of her!"
"Su Ye!"
"The servant is here."
"Take good care of your sister and don't leave her for a moment."
After finishing all these things, An Lingrong sat down on the couch to rest.
Only then did she feel a sense of numbness, as if her body and soul had been separated. Although the wound on her back was still bleeding, she felt no pain. Her senses seemed to have dulled, and she could only vaguely perceive the surrounding environment and people. Even so, she still dared not let her guard down, waiting for the Emperor and Madam Shen to enter the palace!
Wei Lin stepped forward cautiously, "My lord, you look unwell. May I take your pulse?"
"No need, just take good care of your sister!" An Lingrong struggled to raise her head which seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
"Empress Hui will be looked after by Miss Su Ye, and my lady should also take care of herself. Let me examine her!" Her complexion became worse and worse, with blood foam oozing from the corners of her mouth. Wei Lin was a little worried.
