Chapter 309: Rumors
When Kang Yan entered Beijing, the queen in the palace happened to be activated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Calculating the time, the queen's birth date is in the middle of the lunar month.
But after the delivery period, the queen still showed no signs of activation, and the imperial doctors in the palace took turns to check the queen's pulse, saying that everything was normal, but the queen's stomach did not have an attack for a long time.
The queen mother and the emperor, even the queen herself, are also worried.
The emperor has no children under his knees until now, and the emperor used rain and dew all over the harem concubines, but only Xin Guiren and the queen were pregnant with dragon heirs, and the stomachs of the other concubines did not move at all.
Xin Guiren had a seizure two months ago and gave birth to a stillborn baby.
The queen in the belly has become the only object that the queen mother and the emperor are looking forward to.
I found a lot of imperial doctors to check the queen's pulse, and they all said that he was a prince.
It's the prince, and it's the son-in-law, and the emperor's heart is finally half down.
The other half waited for the queen to give birth to a healthy eldest son before he could completely let go.
Now it's not easy, the queen finally has a seizure, and the emperor is waiting excitedly in the queen's Anqing Palace, waiting to hear the good news as soon as possible.
I really can't blame him for not being able to hold his breath, but he is almost in the year of his establishment, and he has been on the throne for more than six years, but there is no prince who has stood until now.
What it means to not have a prince, he knows it very well in his heart.
It means that the throne is unstable, and it is even possible that the emperor will fall.
Now it is estimated that many ministers are secretly thinking about it.
So in the past six months, he has been working hard to "cultivate", although the results of his cultivation are not ideal.
Now he really needs a prince to stabilize the situation.
"Why hasn't it been so long?" The more anxious he was, the more he felt that time was passing slowly, and the emperor couldn't help but guess in his heart.
"How long will it take to see what the hell?" waved his hand and instructed the palace maid who was waiting next to him.
The palace maid was serving in the queen's palace, and when she heard the order, she retreated, and did not dare to remind the emperor, the emperor had just asked people to ask half an hour ago.
Where can a woman give birth to a child so quickly, not to mention that the queen is the first child.
………………
The cry of the queen in the inner sanctum had been going on for about four hours, at first it was a high-pitched cry of pain, and then slowly the sound became smaller and smaller.
The emperor was more and more anxious, and couldn't help but rush to the door of the delivery room in the inner hall.
"What the hell is going on? Why hasn't the queen moved? ”
Outside the door of the delivery room, the queen's mother, Mrs. Pingzhanghou, was guarded outside the door with no one in front of her.
According to the usual practice, when the queen in the palace and the concubines of high grade give birth, they can take their mothers into the palace to accompany them in order to be renewable.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou entered the palace half a month ago.
She has been guarding the door, and when she hears the heart-rending shouts of her daughter inside the door, her heart is like a knife.
But women have to pass the birth level, and she also came over like this, as long as her daughter can give birth to the prince safely, no one will be able to shake her daughter's status in the future.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou clasped her hands together and desperately prayed for the Bodhisattva's blessing.
But the cry of the queen in the door was getting lower and lower, and her face was getting whiter and whiter.
She has given birth to four children and knows what it means to scream lower and lower.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the emperor's voice, and Mrs. Pingzhanghou's lips trembled, but her throat seemed to be pinched, and she couldn't make a sound.
The door of the delivery room opened with a squeak, and the doctor who ran out of it turned pale and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Your Majesty, the first to come out is the arm.........
The first to come out was the arm!
Mrs. Pingzhanghou's eyes were dark, and she almost couldn't stand.
It's Yokosheng! Hengsheng!
The emperor frowned, and some did not react.
"Your Majesty, the mother is a cross-birther, and the child comes out first with the arm, so that the child will be stuck and can't come out."
"What then?" Hearing that the prince he was thinking about might not be able to come out, the emperor's face changed.
The queen turned out to have a difficult birth!
The doctor quickly explained: "Niangniang has been giving birth for four hours, and now she is exhausted, please make a decision as soon as possible, whether to protect the adult or the child." ”
"If you are a baby, you can only stuff the child's arm back, and turn the child around with a strong massage, which will generally hurt the child in the process, or if the time is too long, the child will suffocate in the stomach, if you protect the child,"
When the doctor said this, she looked pale and pleaded, and couldn't help but hesitate.
The queen mother has already fainted, hanging with ginseng, and the mother was too delicate when she was pregnant, and she had no strength to give birth to a child.
"What about protecting the child?" Seeing that the doctor hesitated, the emperor urged.
The doctor gritted her teeth, "The fetus is too big, the mother is weak, and there is no physical strength at all. ”
Disembowelment!
Mrs. Pingzhanghou was stunned on the spot like five thunderbolts.
The doctor gave her an apologetic look.
As a mother, when I hear such news, I must be heartbroken.
"Please make a decision as soon as possible, to protect the adults or the children?"
"Of course, it's ........."
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Pingzhanghou shouted bitterly, and knelt on the ground, tears raining down!
She walked to Emperor Gu on her knees, her lips trembled, and she wanted to speak, but she found that it was not palatable at all.
begging the emperor to give up the imperial heir and keep the queen, the Marquis of Pingzhang found in despair that it was impossible.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou told her more than once about the current situation how important the child in the queen's womb was to the emperor.
Even before she entered the palace, Pingzhanghou stroked her beard and said with a smile on her face that their daughter was a blessed person.
But in a blink of an eye, the blessed daughter in the husband's mouth did not know whether she was alive or dead.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou's eyes were bloody, and she couldn't wait to rush to the delivery room to hug her daughter and save her.
But she couldn't, she bit her lip tightly, kowtowed desperately, and after a while, she saw blood on her forehead, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save the Queen." ”
She can't ask the emperor to protect the lord, that means giving up the imperial heir, this is a big disrespectful crime, she can only ask the emperor to save the queen.
"Your Majesty, please, please."
The emperor's forehead was bruised, but the child who came to his mouth couldn't spit it out.
Just now, in a hurry, I almost blurted out to protect the child.
Seeing Mrs. Pingzhanghou, his reason returned a little.
Pingzhanghou Li Wen controlled 50,000 horses in the Jingdong battalion, and he also had a robe with other generals in the army.
The daughter of the Marquis of Pingzhang is the queen, and she also values the military power in the hands of the Marquis of Pingzhang.
If he only said to protect the child at this moment, it would inevitably chill the Li family's heart.
After a few quick turns, the emperor pretended to be annoyed and scolded the doctor, "What do you want to protect the adult, protect the child, I want you to keep the emperor's heir, and I also want you to keep the queen." ”
However, the queen only has one breath left, and the doctor's face has changed, touching the emperor's cold eyes, but she doesn't dare to refute.
"Remember, I want the emperor and the queen to be safe, otherwise, you all come to see you."
The doctor rushed into the delivery room with a panicked face.
Seeing the doctor quickly rush into the door again, Mrs. Pingzhanghou collapsed to the ground, a glimmer of hope rose on her face, and stared intently at the closed delivery room.
The emperor frowned.
"Come on, Fuping Zhanghou Lady gets up and goes to the outer hall to rest."
Two palace maids stepped forward to support Mrs. Pingzhanghou.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou's lips squirmed, and she wanted to say that she was waiting here, but she heard the emperor's gentle voice, "Madame will go to the outer hall to clean up first, and you can hear the movement here outside." ”
Thinking that her face was full of tears and blood, it was really inappropriate to stay here, not to mention that she was paralyzed at the moment, and she didn't have any strength.
Mrs. Pingzhanghou was supported by the palace maid and went to the outer hall.
"Imperial Physician Wang, you also go in to heal, and you are in a hurry to do your bidding, and you can't take care of those etiquette."
Seeing Mrs. Pingzhanghou leaving, the emperor glanced at a young imperial physician who had been guarding outside the delivery room, "Remember, the safety of the imperial heir is the most important. ”
Imperial Physician Wang is his confidant, and with one look, he understands what the emperor means.
After another half an hour, a weak baby's cry finally came from the delivery room in the inner sanctum.
"Born, born!"
Mrs. Pingzhanghou, who had been pricking up her ears in the outer hall, stood up in a gaffe and rushed to the door of the delivery room like a gust of wind.
The doctor was kneeling on the ground with the baby in her arms and pleading, "Your Majesty, the queen gave birth to a little princess, but the mother collapsed after giving birth, and the slave tried her best to save it, but it was still ......... ! ”
Mrs. Pingzhanghou stopped for a moment, and the smile on her lips froze.
Leak,!
"My sister-in-law........." Mrs. Pingzhanghou rolled her eyes and leaned back.
At this time, the emperor, who was already stunned, asked in disbelief, "What did you say?" The queen gave birth to a princess? Not a prince? ”
As for the news of the queen's death, he already knew it in his heart when the imperial physician entered.
He was surprised that the queen gave birth to a prince who was not a prince.
Not a prince!
No, he didn't believe it, the emperor almost lost his temper and opened the swaddling clothes, and sure enough, he didn't see the symbol of the prince, so he couldn't help but take two steps back.
"Bastard, bastard, didn't you say it was the prince? How can it be? The emperor was furious and kicked the doctor who was kneeling on the ground.
The doctor hugged the little princess in her arms tightly and took the kick hard.
"It's all a bunch of shit, bastards!" Suddenly, the hope he had been looking forward to was disappointed, and the emperor controlled his emotions a little.
"Your Majesty, what is this doing? Someone came, helped Mrs. Pingzhanghou down, and let the imperial doctor take a look. The Queen Mother strode into the inner hall, first stopped the emperor who was out of shape, and then instructed the imperial doctor to go to see Mrs. Pingzhanghou.
When the emperor saw the queen mother come in, his mood stabilized a little.
"Queen Mother, why are you here?"
The Queen Mother snorted, "Such a big thing, how can the mourning family not come and take a look?" ”
After that, he waved his hand and ordered the people in the palace to withdraw, "Go and clean up for the queen, although she is a princess, she is also a meritorious person who gave birth to the emperor's heir." ”
The attendants in the inner hall retreated one after another, leaving Sun Zhong to guard the door.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly sank, "The emperor is too calm." ”
The emperor's face was a little scornful, and at this time, he came back to his senses, and he also felt that his reaction just now was a little too radical.
"Since the queen has passed away, Pingzhang waits for the Li family, you should be rewarded, don't chill the hearts of the ministers." Seeing that the emperor was not in harmony, the Queen Mother slowed down her tone slightly.
The emperor nodded, his mood still unswerving, "...... The doctors said that they were a prince, a bunch of waste, and they couldn't even check the pulse, so what use did I want them to have! ”
The Queen Mother was noncommittal to the emperor's complaints, "It's already like this, it's useless to complain, it's better to think about how to deal with the things in front of you." ”
What's in front of you? The emperor was stunned.
Seeing that the emperor was a little stunned, the queen mother was also a little impatient, pursed her lips, and reminded: "One is the queen's funeral, and the other is the rumors outside the palace. ”
The emperor blinked, he understood the queen's funeral, the queen's death is not easy to announce to the public, and there are many people serving in the palace today, if there is any news to get out, not to mention the damage to the royal face, his reputation as the emperor will not be much better.
Therefore, the queen wants to be buried in a beautiful manner, and the Li family in Pingzhang wants to be appeased, but the people who are waiting in the Anqing Palace cannot stay.
The emperor quickly thought about it in his heart.
Just a rumor outside the palace thing? "What does the queen mother mean?"
The Queen Mother remembered that he had been waiting for the queen to give birth in the Anqing Palace all day today, but she didn't blame him for not knowing what was going on outside, and explained: "The mourning family only got the news today, Sun Zhong, come on." ”
Thinking of those rumors, she smashed a whole set of tea sets in the Antai Hall just now.
Sun Zhong bowed down and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the people are now quietly circulating, saying that the emperor's body has been damaged, and it is difficult to have an heir to the emperor......"
"How can this be true? What a bastard! The emperor only listened to the beginning, and his face turned pale.
Said that he had been injured, and it was difficult to have an heir? Does that mean he can't?
No man would be able to tolerate such speculation, let alone him, the emperor.
Sun Zhong turned a blind eye to the emperor's face, and then said, "I also said that the first emperor only had two princes, if the queen mother could not give birth to a prince, you are ready to canonize His Royal Highness King An as the emperor's younger brother, and King An will inherit the throne in the future." ”
"Bang, smack." The emperor couldn't help but sweep all the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground and smashed them.
The queen can't give birth to a prince, the emperor's brother?
"It's wolf ambition, wolf ambition!" The emperor scolded angrily.
"Investigate, investigate, I want to see who is spreading such a rebellious remark behind his back."
Sun Zhong bowed his head, "The ministers have already asked people to investigate, but now the people outside are convincing, and many ministers believe in this matter." ”
The Queen Mother patiently waited for him to have a seizure before she spoke, "Now the queen is really a princess, I'm afraid that in a few days, a minister will come to ask for the emperor's brother." ”
The queen gave birth to a princess, can't he have other children? He is in the prime of life, there are many concubines in the palace, and after the year, he will re-elect a new person to enter the palace, and there are many opportunities to have children.
Brother Huang, the emperor snorted heavily and slapped the table hard.
Qi Chenjing, the emperor's younger brother, is simply wishful thinking.
"Let them come, I want to see, those people will write to ask for the emperor's brother?" The emperor sneered.
The Queen Mother frowned, "The mourning family always feels that this rumor is strange, so let's let people check the source of the rumor again." (To be continued.) )
