Chapter 1: The Wedge
"Hurry up, come with the medicine, my mother has a difficult birth......"
In one of the palaces in the palace, a bunch of palace people were in a mess, constantly going in and out, and a midwife spoke to the others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Mama, the medicine is here. A little palace maid hurriedly entered from the outer room, carrying a bowl of medicine and handing it to the midwife who had just spoken.
"Niangniang, if you hold on, it will be born soon, and it will be fine. Another grandmother next to her worriedly grabbed the woman's hand on the bed and said, constantly comforting the woman.
I saw that the woman's face was pale, and she clutched the thin quilt on the bed tightly, and her fingers were red. Sweat continued to break out on his forehead, and the pillow next to him was already wet, but he still gritted his teeth and held on, not allowing himself to make any sound.
"Niangniang, the medicine is here, you drink some medicine first, and it will be much better after drinking the medicine. The mother took the medicine from the midwife's hand and fed it to the woman one bite at a time.
"Ah......h It hurts, her stomach hurts! She felt something in her stomach slowly disappearing.
The thin quilt on the bed had been scratched, and the woman's face had been distorted.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Seeing the woman's painful appearance, the grandmother next to her instantly panicked, didn't the midwife say that the bowl of medicine could relieve the pain?
"You ......" The woman endured the pain on her body, stretched out her hand and pointed at the palace maid who was serving the medicine just now, her face showing a cold feeling like ice. There's something wrong with that bowl of medicine!
I don't know why, seeing the woman's eyes, the palace maid's heart was inexplicably afraid. She comforted herself, what was there to be afraid of, she was dying anyway.
"Who? Niangniang is talking about?" The grandmother next to her looked in the direction pointed by the woman, but she only saw a trace of her back, and the palace maid had already taken the opportunity to escape.
"Come on, grab her. The grandmother said, someone dared to do it when the mother gave birth! Unforgivable!? Several palace maids on the side chased after hearing it.
"Oh no, the mother's blood collapsed. The midwife cried out, and she fell to the ground in fright as she saw more and more blood coming out of the woman's body, staining her hands red.
She's never been in this situation before!
"Niangniang, Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" the grandmother also saw the woman's condition and panicked. I didn't care about the palace maid anymore, and then said to the midwife: "Hurry up and save the mother." ”
"Hurry up, wake up the mother, don't let the mother faint, or the child will not be saved." "The midwife has never seen any strong winds and waves, although she was frightened just now, but she has calmed down at this time.
She is not completely sure, the current situation is not guaranteed by adults, and she doesn't know if she can save the child.
"Mother, wake up. When the woman was about to faint, the grandmother shook her and cried out.
The palace people came in with basins and basins of water, and those basins were stained with blood, and the midwife was busy working.
"Old slave, old slave has done his best, child... The child and the adult will not be saved......" said the midwife, trembling, for the woman's blood would not stop.
"No, there is a way, aren't you the best midwife in the palace? Mother, mother, wake up. The grandmother was in a hurry.
When she heard the midwife say that the baby was no longer saved, the woman forced her eyelids open. No matter what method she uses, she must let the child stay, and the child is innocent.
Feeling the child in her belly getting farther and farther away from her, she used up her last strength to gather all her true qi around her belly.
Even if she dies, she will keep the child!
"Blood... The bleeding stopped. Mother, you work hard, child, the child is coming out. The midwife, who had already wanted to give up, saw that the woman's bleeding had stopped, and that the child's head had been exposed, so she hastened to speak.
The woman gritted her teeth and tried her best, and when she felt that she was being emptied, she heard the midwife say, "Child, the child has been born." Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang, she is a prince. ”
Looking at the child covered in blood, the midwife patted the child's back, and the child cried. Hearing the child's cry, the woman's heart relaxed.
The woman knew that she was exhausted, so she grabbed the hand of the grandmother tightly, and with the last of her strength, said, "Mama, child... Child... Only... I'll leave it to you... For... Take care of him for me. In any case, it's... All have to protect... Protect him. ”
"Niangniang, you'll be fine, the prince is still waiting for you to see him. When the woman heard this, she panicked and hurriedly comforted her.
"Already, come... It's too late, A... Promise me. This... This jade pendant, take... Take it to the child, it will... It will be useful. The woman said intermittently, and took out a jade pendant from her clothes, and gave it to the grandmother, her eyes full of pleading.
"Old slave, old slave promises you... , you'll be fine. Holding the woman's hand, tears flowed down the cheeks.
"Thank you, thank you," the woman relieved. Child, my mother can no longer be by your side, my mother is leaving, I hope you can live safely.
At the last moment, the woman's mind suddenly conjured up images of the past, and her face was full of mockery. Emperor Yan, I have loved you for so many years, but in the end it ended up like this. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't fall in love with you again... Never, never!
Concubine Liu, at the last moment, you still don't want to let me go. I curse, curse that your illness will never be cured!
The last smile on the corner of the woman's lips was relieved!
"Niangniang, Niangniang..." The grandmother saw that the woman was no longer breathing, and cried bitterly.
"The Emperor, the Emperor... Big things are not good. A little eunuch hurried in from the outer chamber.
"Bold minion, why are you so alarmed? If you scare Concubine Liu, what should you be guilty of. Emperor Yan's side Fu Gonggong scolded. When did the servants in the palace become so ignorant of the rules? Didn't you see that Concubine Liu was sick?
"How is Concubine Liu's body?" Emperor Yan ignored the little eunuch and asked the woman lying on the bed.
"The Emperor... Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The concubine is fine. The woman picked up the handkerchief and coughed. Her face was pale and bloodless.
"I've been here for a long time, and since Concubine Liu is fine, I'll leave first. Emperor Yan said.
"The Emperor... The emperor spares his life, and the slave has something important to report. The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The woman on the bed coughed a few more times, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, maybe that little eunuch really has something important to report, why doesn't the emperor listen to it before leaving?"
"Why are you so alarmed?" Emperor Yan said coldly.
"The Emperor... Your Majesty, Su... Concubine Su Niangniang was on the verge of a blood collapse just now, and she has... It's gone. Although the little eunuch was afraid, he replied.
"What did you say?" Emperor Yan suddenly stood up and said in disbelief.
"Concubine Su went. The little eunuch knelt on the ground and continued.
Hearing this, Emperor Yan waved his hand and ran out of the hall, disappearing in an instant. Everything in the hall was destroyed, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were knocked to the ground by Emperor Yan's palm.
After everyone left, the woman who was still lying on the bed just now suddenly sat up, threw away her handkerchief, and did not look sick at all, with a coldness on her face.
According to folk rumors, on the night of the eighth day of the first month of the first month of Nanfeng Kingdom, lightning flashed and thundered, and a torrential rain fell, and the torrential rain fell for three days and three nights.
The sky above the palace of Nanfeng Kingdom was shrouded in darkness for three days and three nights, and Concubine Su in the palace died of a blood collapse, leaving behind a prince. Everyone said that the rain was because Concubine Su had done a lot of good things for the people of Nanfeng Kingdom during her lifetime, and this was a punishment that God did not want her to die.
I don't know where a rumor came out, that is, Emperor Yan held Concubine Su's body for three days and three nights after knowing about her death and never let go.
