Chapter 237: The Queen's Sword
Time back to a few days ago, the northeast of Silla in the city of Jincheng, Jincheng is the capital of Silla, but also the birthplace of Silla civilization, after successive generations of Silla kings continue to repair and expand, the city residents have nearly 100,000, although such a scale is nothing in the Tang Dynasty, but for Silla, it is already the largest city in the country.\\
Under the influence of the Tang Dynasty, the internal structure of Jincheng is very similar to that of Chang'an, the whole city sits north and faces south, and in the northernmost part of the central axis of the city is the location of the royal palace, where the Queen of Silla lived. It's just that compared with the past, today's Silla palace is extremely solemn, and even in this heavy atmosphere, there is a bit of sadness.
In the palace of Queen Silla, there are constantly palace maids coming in and out, all with anxious looks on their faces, and in the hands of the palace maids who come out, many people are holding copper basins, but the basins are filled with dazzling blood.
"Bah~, if you can't save the queen today, then there is no value in existence, all of them are waiting for your cousin's funeral!" In the living room outside the dormitory, a palace girl knocked over the vase on the table to the ground, pointed at the seven or eight medical officers kneeling in front of her, and shouted angrily.
"The princess forgives her sins, it's really not that I'm incompetent, it's just that the queen gave birth ahead of schedule due to fetal gas, coupled with the improper fetal position, and a blood collapse occurred during childbirth, unless this situation is a god alive, even if the best doctor in Datang is invited, it is helpless!" Although the medical officer below was not lightly frightened, the medical officer at the head still defended himself and the others.
If Li Su was here, he would definitely recognize that the angry palace girl was Kim Seung-man, who bit him, that is, the cousin of Queen Silla. She had an excellent relationship with Queen Silla, her affection was closer than that of her own sisters, and she was also extremely talented, so during the period when Queen Silla was pregnant, many of the decrees in Silla came from her.
Today was not supposed to be the day when Queen Silla gave birth, but she accidentally moved the fetal gas, which caused the child to be born early. What's even more unfortunate is that the child was finally born, but there was a blood collapse again. That is, hemorrhage, and now the bleeding does not stop, and the already exhausted Queen Silla has fallen into a coma several times. He could die of blood loss at any time, but the medical officers in the palace were all helpless, which made Jin Shengman lose such a big temper.
"Incompetence! Rubbish! The palace spends so much money to support you every year, but you don't need it at a critical moment, and you even have the face to find a reason for yourself, all of them get out of here! Although Jin Shengman said just now that he would let the medical officer accompany the funeral, it was just a momentary angry talk, after all, as a woman, although she was a little scheming, she was not vicious.
A few poor medical officers heard that the princess had let them out. Immediately, as if he had been pardoned, he stood up and turned around to walk out of the palace quickly. But at this moment, a palace maid suddenly ran out of the queen's delivery room next to her, and shouted to Jin Shengman with a happy face: "Your Highness, the queen is awake again." And this time the spirit is very good, and the queen has ordered you to go in, as if she has something to say to you! ”
Because of the excessive blood loss, the queen of Silla woke up and fainted, and even when she woke up, her spirit was extremely weak. I couldn't even speak, and this time I was so sober, which naturally made the palace maid think it was a good omen, so she was so excited.
It's just that when Jin Shengman heard the news, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and the medical officers all stopped, glanced at each other one by one, and then all lowered their heads. If their guess is correct, the queen's soberness this time should be the legendary return to the light.
Jin Shengman only felt sad from it, and wanted to squat down and hug her legs and cry, but now the entire palace is supported by her, and she must not show her cowardly side in front of outsiders, so after listening to the palace maid's report, she still showed a resolute look, and hurriedly entered her cousin's delivery room.
As soon as she entered the delivery room, she saw her cousin leaning on the head of the bed with a pale face, and several palace maids at the end of the bed were busy changing the bloody mattress, and a female official who usually helped her draft the edict was crying and cleaning up. As for the newly-born baby, she was sleeping soundly next to her cousin with a peaceful face, and when she saw Jin Shengman, the female officer saluted her in awe, and then hurried out.
"Cousin, why are you sitting up, hurry up and lie down and rest!" Jin Shengman looked at his cousin's face as white as paper, and his heart tingled at the moment, and he hurriedly ran over to help her lie down.
However, Queen Silla waved her hand to stop Kim Seungman's movements, and then pulled her to sit beside her, and at the same time waved the palace maid at the end of the bed away, and then said a little weakly: "Seungman, I can't do it, but the country can't be left without an owner for a day, my Silla country is small and the people are weak, and there are strong enemies such as Baekje and Wa Kingdom, and I must rely on the Tang Dynasty to survive, so the throne must be taken over by a wise person, looking at the entire royal family, my cousin thinks that only you are the most suitable!" ”
Queen Silla's voice was like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished at any time, but when she heard Kim Seungman's ears, it was like a thunderbolt, which stunned her, and after a while, she reacted, and hurriedly excused herself: "Cousin, don't be joking, the children have been born, and your body will definitely get better, I don't want to be a queen, and I can't afford to take this responsibility......"
Before Kim Seung-man finished speaking, he saw Queen Silla frowning, and interrupted her sharply: "Seung-man, as a royal woman, since you were born, you have been burdened with the responsibility of the country, and you are also obliged to take on this responsibility, and now Baekje is ready to fight at any time, and the matter of the throne does not allow you to make a prevarication!" ”
"Cousin! I ......" It was the first time for Jin Shengman to see his cousin so strict, and his eyes were wide open in fright for a while, and two tears were rolling in his eyes, which would flow down at any time.
Looking at her favorite cousin, Queen Silla also sighed, and said again: "Shengman, I have just given an edict to General Jin and Yuchuan, these important civil and military ministers, you can't push off the throne, this is my cousin I'm sorry for you, after all, although the queen's position is noble, according to the original agreement, the queen can't get married, let alone have children, but I broke my original oath first!" ”
Queen Silla said this, the corners of her mouth also showed a bitter smile, she is the queen on the surface looks extremely beautiful, but in order to get the support of the Chinese martial arts and clan of the dynasty, she made an agreement with everyone, she will never marry in this life, let alone have her own children, this is mainly to ensure that the royal family of the clan can take over her throne. After all, if she had a child of her own, she would probably pass on the throne to her son, and from the perspective of blood, although this child also had half royal blood, in the eyes of the patrilineal society, he was still a person with a foreign surname.
"Cousin!" Seeing his cousin holding up and wanting to apologize to himself, Jin Shengman felt even more sad. In the past, she used to use her cousin as an example everywhere, but now when there is an opportunity for her to be the second queen of Silla, Kim Seungman was a little hesitant, but seeing that her cousin had made arrangements, she had to nod with tears in her eyes.
Seeing that her cousin finally agreed, Jin Shengman was relieved, the strength of her whole body seemed to be drained all of a sudden, she snuggled up to the head of the bed like a gossamer, and her eyes dimmed all of a sudden, and it seemed that her life was about to come to an end.
"Sheng~ Shengman, pick up ~ the child and let me see!" After accumulating strength for a while, the Queen of Silla spoke again.
Seeing his cousin like a broken candle, Jin Shengman couldn't stop crying, and picked up the child while crying, and then put it in front of his cousin. This little princess, because of the newbirth, the little girl's skin is red and wrinkled, and she doesn't look beautiful, but the Queen of Silla looks at her daughter, and a sweet smile wells up on the corner of her mouth. Jin Shengman looked at his current cousin, and suddenly remembered his biological mother, isn't this what she looks like when she looks at herself?
"Cousin, do you really like His Majesty the Tang Emperor?" Although he was sad in his heart, seeing that his cousin loved this child so much, Jin Shengman couldn't help but ask curiously.
When the Queen of Silla heard her cousin ask about this, a trace of blush welled up on her pale face, and she said weakly: "It doesn't matter if you like it or not, I only know that he is my first man, and he is also the husband in my heart, and the father of my daughter!" ”
When she said this, Queen Silla seemed to think of something again, struggled to open her eyes wide, stared at Kim Seung-man and said, "Seung-man, don't ...... My cousin begs you one last thing, you must send this child to her father, and you must not let her grow up in Silla! ”
When Jin Shengman heard this, he immediately nodded heavily, she understood her cousin's intentions, the queen should not have a child, but now the news of her cousin's pregnancy is estimated to have spread all over the government and the opposition, if the child is left in Silla, there will definitely be people looking for trouble with this child, and even the possibility of losing her life, only by sending it to Datang, she can grow up safely, and being a princess of Datang is far more noble than Princess Silla.
After arranging the way back for her daughter, Queen Silla had no worries in her heart, and the fire of her life was finally exhausted, and the eyes that had just opened were slowly closing, but she was still muttering in her mouth: "Your Majesty the Tang Emperor, since last year's farewell, Deman has missed her very much, but it's a pity that we are on different sides of the world, and we have no chance to talk to you with candles, and today our daughter was born, so we named her Sitang, so as to entrust the pain of lovesickness in the concubine body......"
Queen Silla's voice grew lower and lower, and finally became silent. The little baby girl who was sleeping in Jin Shengman's arms seemed to feel something, and suddenly cried "wow~". And Jin Shengman looked at his cousin as if he was asleep, but he couldn't cry anymore!
On February 18, the 12th year of Jeongguan, Queen Seondeok of Silla, and at the same time, Baekje raised troops to attack Silla, and the enthroned Kim Seungman in order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the country, kept the queen Seondeok secret, and mobilized a large army to block the Baekje army!
