The so-called change of place, in fact, is still in this Dali Palace, but moved to a small courtyard near the Ciqing Palace where the Empress Dowager Sun lives.

In addition to Mama Ma, the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting for her were all replaced by the palace people of the Empress Dowager Sun, and even the guards outside the courtyard increased from the previous ten to fifty at once, surrounding her small courtyard, seeing that the posture was not even going to put a fly in it, of course, the people inside did not want to come out.

Cai Wei didn't feel more uneasy about this, she knew that Empress Dowager Sun had confined her so tightly, and she was more afraid that she would be taken away by Cui Zuoxiang like King Yingchuan, so she wouldn't have a single card in her hand.

As long as Mama Ma is still by her side, she can send the map of the palace for her, and it is nothing to move the house, but just redraw another map.

After redrawing the map and passing it to the outside of the palace, the only thing she needed to do was to wait, although her beloved was not around, and she could only see the sky at the four corners every day, but she was not lonely, because in her belly, there was a small life that was accompanying her all the time. Every small fetal movement can give her endless hope and strength.

The weather is getting hot and humid day by day, but whether it is inside the palace or outside the court, it is becoming more and more calm.

Cai Wei stayed in her small yard every day to quietly raise the baby, make small clothes for the child for a while, and then get up and walk around the yard. Except for the occasional sound or two of crying for Emperor Lin De in the distance, I couldn't hear any other sounds coming from this palace.

But one night in early June, she was awakened by a woman's shrill scream, although only so abruptly, and then there was no more sound, but she went sleepy, lay on her side on the bed, gently stroked her belly, and soothed the baby who seemed to be a little frightened in her belly. I don't know how long it took before I closed my eyes and fell asleep again.

The next day, she heard the news from Mama Ma, and sure enough, the scream last night was shouted by Zhao Yifei.

"Originally, it wasn't a month, but who would have thought that it would suddenly start yesterday, thinking that it was because it was a twin, so it was born prematurely. But it was precisely because of the two in my belly, from morning to night, tossing for more than a dozen hours, but I didn't give birth, saying that it was a difficult birth. ”

"Sun Youxiang is very concerned about her fetus, and begged the Queen Mother to call all the doctors and midwives in the hospital, but it turned out that Aunt Zhao has been raising too well in the past few months, the fetus is too big, and there are two, and her skeleton is small, so she can't get out there."

Later, several doctors discussed for a long time, saying that it would definitely not be possible to give birth from below, even if they didn't care about the adults, they couldn't give birth even if they only protected the child. And if it drags on like this, I'm afraid that the two children will suffocate to death in their stomachs, and if you want to keep the two little sons safe, there is only one way, that is-"

When Mama Ma said this, she seemed to feel that the method was a little cruel, and she paused for a moment before continuing: "That is, it is to use a knife to cut open Aunt Zhao's belly, so as to take the two little sons out of their stomachs." ”

Laparotomy? Just listening to it makes people feel a little chilled and shivering, a knife on the mother's belly, although it can save the child in the belly, but what about the woman who was cut open by a knife? With today's medical skills, can she still live?

Cai Wei didn't ask, because Mama Ma had already told her the answer.

"I heard from the people waiting in Aunt Zhao's courtyard that Aunt Zhao had worked hard and desperately wanted to give birth to the child, but when she heard that the imperial doctor said that she would cut open her stomach and take out her son, she immediately refused to do it, crying and shouting that she would definitely be able to give birth to her son, begging not to cut her stomach like that, she didn't want to die......"

Cai Wei knew that Yifei naturally didn't want to die, because whether she was pregnant with this pair of twins, she desperately wanted to give birth to them before, not because she wanted to be a mother or experience the joy of motherhood, but because she regarded the two sons in her belly as a place to live, so that she could enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of her life.

She regards her own flesh and blood as a tool for her own benefit, but she forgets that in the eyes of her grandfather, she is just a tool to give birth to a son for him. Compared with the life of her precious son who can pass on the family and inherit the incense to him, it is simply clear which is more important.

Just as Yifei wanted to save her own life first, Sun Chengqing definitely didn't mind slashing her stomach to save her son's life first. Women, that's not much, but sons are not easy to give birth!

I heard Mama Ma say: "But what is the use of her not wanting to?" Sun Youxiang can spoil her like this, and send her to the palace to give birth, what is it for? Isn't it because she is pregnant with two sons in her belly, expecting her to give birth to a big fat boy? It doesn't matter if she can keep it or not, what matters is that the two little sons must be saved, so no matter whether she agrees or not, she directly ordered the imperial doctor to quickly use a knife on her stomach. It was at that time that the loudest voice of last night was shouted. ”

But who knew that when the imperial doctor drew a cross on her stomach, she took out the child and took it out to see that the imperial doctor was indeed extremely accurate in the previous week, saying that she was pregnant with two twin sons, and it was really two with handles, but unfortunately they were two bruised and angry little boys. I think it's a pity that I held it in my mother's belly for too long, but I still didn't hold it up! ”

Mama Ma was still patting her thigh as she spoke, Cai Wei could see that she really felt pity, but she was sorry for the two baby boys who didn't survive, but not the mother of the two baby boys.

But even Cai Wei herself, she didn't think Yi Fei was so pitiful.

She remembered that when she was still living in Anyuanbo's mansion, when the sisters were not married, Yizhi had just been married, and when the sisters went to say hello to her, Yifei wished her an early birth to a noble son, so as not to be unable to give birth to a son and end up like the fourth wife.

Although Yi Fei said this extremely rudely, the other sisters couldn't say anything except look at each other, after all, although Yi Fei's words were ugly, they still agreed with the meaning of those words in their hearts. In such a patriarchal and patriarchal world, if a woman can't give birth to a son, then there is really no hope in this life.

Only Cai Wei stood up to argue with her, is it true that the only mission and value of a woman living in this world is to marry a man to give him a son?

She remembered very well that Yi Fei hesitated at the time, but she still raised her chin and said confidently: "What if you don't do this?" Whoever makes men in this world is better than women, and men have the final say in everything! If a woman wants to survive in this world and live well, she must follow the will of men. A man likes a son, and a woman has to give birth to a son if she wants to please a man, and this is the way of the world, and there is no second way. ”

Cai Wei naturally disagrees with this point of view, because she has always felt that in addition to being submissive, women obviously have a second way to go, that is, to change this unreasonable world, so that the world is no longer male superiority and female inferiority, but women can be equal to men.

If one day, a woman can obtain the same status, rights, and identity as a man, and can inherit incense and establish a household, then is there a difference between having a son and giving birth to a daughter?

At that time, if a woman can make a career and make money to support her family with her own ability, then she doesn't even need to rely on giving birth to a man to get a living capital, because she can do it by herself, and she doesn't have to rely on men at all.

Of course, she didn't say these big and unorthodox thoughts. However, even if she said it at the time, it is estimated that no one will agree with her, because those girls in Anyuanbo's Mansion, like most women in Yan Qin, have been exposed to the teachings of three obedience and four virtues since childhood, and the poison of "female virtue", "respecting men and degrading women", and "giving birth to sons" is too deep......

Like Zhao Yifei, it is simply incorrigible. If she hadn't sharpened her head after falling out of favor that day, tried all kinds of ways to get pregnant, wanted her mother to rely on her son, and turned over with her son, then she might still be alive now, as long as she is alive, there will always be endless hope.

But now, she was disemboweled to death in order to give birth to the son of a man's dream, I don't know if at the moment before she died, did she feel that this deal of giving birth to a son in exchange for glory was really a little too cost-effective?
