31. Chapter XXXI

Queen Fucha Ningxiu received a message from the palace people, saying that Jia Concubine Jin Jia Wanhua was suddenly in labor, and when the fetal position was not correct and there were signs of dystocia, she was copying Buddhist scriptures in Changchun Palace. Ning Xiu's expression did not change when she heard this, and the movement of copying in her hand did not stop at all, but she asked in a calm tone: "Did you go to Yonghe Palace to report this matter to Concubine Xian?" โ€

The palace people hurriedly replied: "There are already palace people who have gone to Yonghe Palace to report to Concubine Xian, and the palace people who are responsible for delivering the message should have arrived at Yonghe Palace at this time." โ€

Ning Xiu's eyes flashed, and she briefly asked a few words about the situation of the midwife and the palace maids who were responsible for serving the concubines, and then asked, "Can this matter be reported to the emperor?" โ€

The palace people hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The emperor is resting in the Chuxiu Palace and Hall tonight." Now that the night is deep, the emperor and Xiao Guiren should have fallen asleep. The minions did not dare to disturb the holy car until they received the decree of the queen and the concubine. โ€

Fucha Ningxiu nodded, "It's right not to disturb the Holy Driver. The emperor worked hard all day for national affairs, and it was very hard. Now, it's just a little concubine, where is it worth letting the emperor go to Zhongcui Palace in the middle of the night to guard her? It is enough to have this palace and Xian Guifei to see her. โ€

Fucha Ningxiu first sent the palace people who reported the news to go back to Zhong Cui Palace first, saying that after she changed her clothes and makeup, she would go to Zhong Cui Palace to visit Jia Concubine.

Zi Yan took a set of red moire flag outfits according to Fucha Ningxiu's order, and waited for Fucha Ningxiu to change her clothes and makeup, and asked suspiciously: "Does the queen really want to go to Zhongcui Palace in person to guard the birth of Jia Concubine?" However, although the emperor did not explicitly confine Niangniang in the Changchun Palace, he also ordered Niangniang to copy Buddhist scriptures to reflect on herself, and at the same time, he ordered Xian Guifei, who had just been promoted to a concubine, to take six palace affairs. Now, Concubine Jia gave birth, and the fetal position was not correct, and she suffered a difficult birth, and the people in the palace have reported the matter to Concubine Xian, so it is better to push it to Concubine Xian and let her handle it! In this way, even if there is any mistake between Jia Concubine and the dragon fetus in her womb in the future, even if the emperor is angry with thunder, he can't blame Niangniang's head. โ€

The queen sneered and glared at Zi Yan, "Although you are a very smart girl, but after all, you lack a little experience, there are some major events in this harem, you just saw some fur, and you still can't figure it out." The reason why the emperor was dissatisfied with the palace before was nothing more than complaining that the palace was too harsh on the pregnant Xiao Guiren. โ€

Ning Xiu shook her head helplessly, and sighed softly, "The palace is also a little anxious, seeing that the emperor is becoming more and more fond of the Xiao family day by day, the palace wants to take advantage of the time when the Gao family has a miscarriage, add another handful of firewood, and put all the charges on the Xiao family, but it provokes the emperor to blame the palace, saying that the palace cannot accommodate pregnant concubines." Because of this, when Jia Concubine gave birth this time, the palace must be present in person, handle everything properly and in an orderly manner, and can also show her face in front of the emperor with this matter and take the opportunity to win back a game. โ€

Ning Xiu paused for a moment, and then ordered Zi Yan to put a purple-red velvet hairpin on her hair bun as a decoration, and personally selected two fine gold phoenix hairpins and two golden steps and handed them to Zi Yan, ordering Zi Yan to wear them on her head for her, and then said slowly: "Besides, if Concubine Jia has a difficult birth this time, she will also need to ask the emperor for instructions as a last resort." According to the rules of the palace, the emperor will definitely decide to go to the mother and keep the child. If the palace closes the door when Jia Concubine gives birth, and Jia Concubine gives birth to a little brother for the emperor again, what position does the palace have to fight for the right to raise the little brother? If the sky has no eyes, let Xian Guifei pick up a cheap one in vain and become the mother concubine of the little brother, then the palace will really be vomited to death! โ€

Zi Yan nodded again and again, and complimented: "It's still the queen's mother who has a plan, can see clearly, and think long-term." โ€

At the same time, Yonghe Palace's Xian concubine Wulanala Jingxian also received a reply from the palace people and learned that Jia Concubine had gone into labor, but suffered a difficult birth due to a false fetal position.

Jing Xian wrinkled her eyebrows, "Bengong knows." Can this matter be explained to the queen? โ€

The palace people hurriedly replied: "There are already palace people who have gone to Changchun Palace to report to the queen." It's just that the minions really can't handle it well, and I don't know if this matter should be reported to the emperor, and I asked the concubine to show it. โ€

Jing Xian frowned and groaned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Jia Concubine is in labor, and the queen will definitely not sit idly by. As for whether this matter needs to be explained to the emperor, and when it is most appropriate, it is still up to the queen to decide. โ€

Although Jing Xian was worried about the situation in the Zhongcui Palace, she still ordered the close maids Xianghe and Xianglan to dress and change clothes for her slowly, and the time was just right, and only after the queen Fucha Ningxiu arrived at the Zhongcui Palace for half an hour, did she enter the gate of the Zhongcui Palace.

Jing Xian saw that Fucha Ningxiu was directing the palace people in Zhong Cui's palace to serve Jia Concubine's birth, and hurriedly stepped forward with a light smile, and saluted respectfully, "The concubine is the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is blessed with Jin'an." โ€

Ning Xiu also smiled and helped Jing Xian, waved her hand and said, "When is this coming, they are all their own sisters, what do you care about these false gifts?" Recently, even the emperor praised Concubine Xian for her fairness and ability, and if Concubine Xian came to Zhongcui Palace to help, Concubine Jia would definitely be able to give birth safely. โ€

Jing Xian hurriedly humbly said: "Where does the concubine know how to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, she just follows the old routine of the queen mother." The queen mother praised it falsely. โ€

Ning Xiu smiled slightly, and exchanged a few polite words with Jing Xian, and then concentrated on dealing with various matters related to the production of Jia Concubine in Zhong Cui Palace, not only assigned the palace people to their respective tasks, so that although Zhong Cui Palace was a little busy, there was no panic at all, and everything was in order, and at the same time, he also sent the little eunuch to the Tai Hospital to invite He Mingshan, the imperial doctor on duty, to come to Zhong Cui Palace to wait, in case of emergency.

Jing Xian saw that Ning Xiu was present, so she didn't say anything more, just sat quietly and waited patiently.

At this time, Jia Concubine Jin Jia Wanhua's situation is indeed a little bad. Wanhua not only gave birth more than half a month prematurely, and the fetal position was not correct, and the birth canal opened very slowly, but it happened that Wanhua kept asking the emperor when he would come to Zhongcui Palace to visit her, and because of pain and fear, she couldn't stop crying, therefore, before the birth canal opened to ten fingers, Wanhua almost used her strength early.

The midwife was busy in the house for three hours, and when the birth canal finally opened to ten fingers, Wanhua continued to exert herself according to the instructions of the midwife, but she did not expect that when the child was about to be born, the midwives all changed their faces. It turned out that although Jia Concubine pushed the child out hard, it was a pity that it was not the fetus's head that was exposed first, but the fetus's feet.

Seeing this situation, the midwives did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly reported the matter to the queen Fucha and the concubine Wulanala who were waiting in the front hall, and asked tremblingly: "Now the situation of Jia Concubine Niangniang is already very dangerous, if the time drags on for a long time, whether it is Jia Concubine Niangniang or the dragon fetus in the womb will be in danger." Therefore, the slaves and maids did not dare to make decisions, and dared to ask the queen to decide, if it was a last resort, should they keep the concubine or the dragon fetus in the womb of the concubine? โ€

Hearing this, Empress Fucha Ningxiu frowned, and Concubine Wulanala Jingxian sighed in a low voice, a flash of sympathy flashed in her eyes.

Ning Xiu and Jing Xian knew in their hearts that Jia Concubine was not very popular with Qianlong, and now that Qianlong has won the new favorite of Xiao Guiren, how could they give up the dragon fetus in Jia Concubine's womb, which is very likely to be the little brother, and instead save Jia Concubine's life?

However, the cutscenes that should be taken and the superficial work that should be done, Fucha Ningxiu will still do enough.

Fucha Ningxiu saw that Yin's time had passed, so he guessed that Qianlong should have gotten up, so he ordered Ziyan, the palace maid beside him, to go to Chuxiu Palace immediately and report Concubine Jia's situation at this time to Qianlong to know.

Due to Xiao Yan's morning sickness in recent days, even after taking the antiemetic decoction prescribed by Imperial Doctor Wu, there was still no improvement. The system saw that its master was very thin, so it automatically turned on the protection mode and blocked the distress signals of the concubines and concubines in the harem, for fear that the inexplicable distress signals of these ladies would disturb Xiao Yan's sleep.

The system is very puzzled by the distress signals of these concubines and concubines, such as wanting to get the emperor's favor and hoping to give birth to a little brother for the emperor. However, these ladies seem to have nothing else to think about in their minds except for hoping to be favored by the emperor and have a son, which really makes the system feel very annoyed.

These boring concubines and maidens, can't they have some higher pursuits besides competing for favor and giving birth to sons!?

Now under the influence of Xiao Yan, the system has seen a lot, and originally did not expect to receive any important and valuable distress signals, but I didn't expect that since the middle of the night last year, it has really received Jia Concubine's distress signal intermittently, and with the passage of time, Jia Concubine's distress signal has not only not weakened, but has been continuously increasing. Moreover, Jia Concubine sent a life-saving signal for help.

Originally, the system didn't intend to pay attention to Jia Concubine, a stingy white-eyed wolf, however, after being disturbed by Jia Concubine's gradually increasing distress signal for a night, the system also began to feel that mosquito meat is also meat, although it is a little smaller, but it is slightly stronger than nothing.

Therefore, the system decided to wait for the owner to wake up, and then relay Jia Concubine's distress message to the owner. As for whether this favor will help or not, whether this person will save or not, it is all up to the master. After all, the master is not feeling well now, and if the master's body is injured because of saving Jia Concubine, it will really outweigh the losses!

So, after Xiao Yan got up early in the morning, she received a request for help from Jia Concubine relayed by the system. Xiao Yan thought of Jia Concubine's pregnancy at this time, and immediately guessed that Jia Concubine must have been born prematurely, but she was afraid that the situation was not very good.

Qianlong personally put on a robe for Xiao Yan, and then summoned Wu Shu to enter the palace to serve him to wash and change clothes.

Xiao Yan guessed in her heart about Concubine Jia's situation at this time, and frowned unconsciously. This is the first time that when the patient's life is at stake, Xiao Yan is so at a loss in her heart, hesitating between saving or not saving.

Xiao Yan grew up in a happy and warm family, and grew up in the care and care of relatives and friends, so she developed a positive and optimistic personality that refused to admit defeat. After studying medicine and joining the army, although Xiao Yan also encountered many helpless life and death in the world, Xiao Yan has always adhered to the Hippocratic oath recited when she swore to become a doctor, no matter whether she is poor or poor, she treats patients equally, and never neglects the life of any patient.

I will keep my oath and be faithful. I will do my best to take medical measures that I believe will be beneficial to the patient and will not cause pain and danger to the patient. I don't give โ–กโ–ก to anyone, and I never instruct anyone else to use it. I want to practice medicine and live my life with a clean ......

Recalling the oath she once adhered to and the scene of practicing medicine with her colleagues and comrades-in-arms to save people, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel excited and enthusiastic, however, thinking of her current tragic situation, Xiao Yan felt very depressed, and could only keep reminding herself that she was not a soldier or a doctor now, she was just an unlucky person who was bound to an unknown pit dad system and fell into the harem of the Qing Dynasty.

What's more, Qianlong had already had doubts about her before, doubted her identity, and tried her many times, if she dared to save people at this time, it would definitely attract Qianlong's suspicion and cause endless trouble and hidden dangers to herself. She was pregnant again at this time, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it is not yet known. Does she still have to risk hitching a ride with herself and her unborn children to save a "rival in love" who is full of suspicion and hostility towards her?

According to Xiao Yan's principle of dealing with people and her personality with clear grievances, she is unwilling to wade into this troubled water, but if she wants to let Jia Concubine lose her life due to childbirth, Xiao Yan is a little unbearable.

It's not that Xiao Yan feels sorry for Jin Jia Wanhua, but Xiao Yan feels that the women in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, no matter how noble their positions are, are just playthings for the emperor to relieve boredom, especially these women are not worth much compared to the prince's brothers. Otherwise, the Hesheri clan of Kangxi's Yuan Yuan Dynasty would not have been abandoned by Kangxi in order to keep Yinren when he gave birth to the crown prince Yinren, and he lost his life at a young age. Now, she and Jin Jia Wanhua are the only two pregnant women in the palace, so if Wanhua encounters misfortune, Xiao Yan will also feel related, and it is inevitable to have a sense of sadness such as material injury.

After Qianlong finished dressing, he was about to ask Xiao Yan what he wanted to use for breakfast for a while, but he saw Xiao Yan sitting in front of the dressing mirror, frowning and stunned, and she didn't even hear Qiulan ask her which hosta she wanted to wear.

Qianlong had been anxious because Xiao Yan's morning sickness had not improved in recent days, but at this time, seeing Xiao Yan stunned again, her thin little face became more and more pitiful, and she couldn't help but move in her heart, stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yan's shoulder, and asked softly, "What is the little girl thinking?" Why do you want to be so distracted? โ€

Xiao Yan lowered her eyes and said softly, "There is nothing." It's just that the concubine had a nightmare last night, and what she saw and felt in the dream was too real, so the concubine still felt palpitations when she looked back after getting up early today. โ€

Qianlong hurriedly asked, "What kind of nightmare is it that scared my Yan'er like this?" Tell me what I dreamed about, and I can solve it for you. โ€

Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, and then replied under Qianlong's questioning: "The concubine dreamed of ...... The concubine dreamed of what was going on when she was in labor......"

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, she turned around and hugged Qianlong's arm, raised her pretty face, looked at Qianlong with bright eyes, bit her lip and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, it turns out that when a woman gives birth to a child, it really hurts!" โ€

Qianlong didn't doubt him, he just thought that Xiao Yan was still young, and now he was frightened by the discomfort of giving birth in a dream, so he was so scared, and he looked like he couldn't give up early in the morning.

Qianlong gently stroked Xiao Yan's delicate and beautiful little face next to his arm, and said softly: "What a stupid girl!" Which woman in the world did not come like this? It's just giving birth to a child, it's the process of the birth of a new life and the inheritance of blood, and there's nothing to be afraid of. Even if a woman will have some discomfort when she gives birth, as long as she grits her teeth, she will get through it. โ€

Xiao Yan was about to say something more, but saw Qiu Yue enter the palace and report: "Your Majesty, the palace maid Zi Yan next to the queen mother came to Chuxiu Palace to ask to see the emperor, saying that the concubine of Zhongcui Palace suddenly gave birth prematurely last night, and she failed to give birth safely after tossing all night, and now the situation is not very good." โ€

Qianlong frowned, and ordered Qiuyue to immediately send Zi Yan into the hall to reply.

Zi Yan was summoned by Qianlong, and hurriedly walked into the hall with small steps, knelt in front of Qianlong with a puff, and replied with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, Jia Concubine Niangniang was suddenly born prematurely last night, and after the queen mother got the news, she hurriedly rushed to Zhong Cui Palace to preside over the overall situation and take care of Jia Concubine Niangniang." The queen mother kept watch in the Zhongcui Palace all night, and ordered someone to go to the Tai Hospital to invite the doctor on duty to wait in the Zhongcui Palace, so that she could treat Jia Concubine Niangniang at any time. However, the mothers who delivered the baby just now replied to the queen, saying that the fetal position of the concubine was not correct, but now the child's feet were exposed when they gave birth, and the midwives were also panicked, and asked the queen mother which one to save first. The queen did not dare to make a decision, so she sent a slave to come to Chuxiu Palace immediately to explain the matter to the emperor and respectfully ask the emperor to make a holy decision. โ€
