Chapter 30: Poisoning and Childbirth
The ministers and their families withdrew, and the queen immediately ordered someone to carry Xia Yuke to the side hall and ask her for a doctor. After arriving at the side hall, seeing Imperial Physician Zhao, the queen knew what clues Xia Yuke found when she found out, so she ordered someone to call the imperial doctor to wait in the side hall.
The queen saw that Imperial Physician Zhao was quite skilled in medicine and was honest, so she was relieved that he would go to diagnose and treat Xia Yuke, and then ordered: "Imperial Physician Zhao, go and have a look!" ”
Zhao Peng flew a salute and walked over to Xia Yuke, took out the handkerchief he had carefully prepared, paused for a long time before getting up and replying, and said: "Hui Niangniang, the master of this side concubine is suffering from cold poison, and now I am afraid that she will be born prematurely!" ”
"Cold poison?" Feng Sui, who was standing on the side, said in surprise, and couldn't suppress his anger and ordered Ah Wu beside him: "Go, order people, surround this whole hall, and everyone gather together to take care of it." The secret guards of the East Palace with Lone's sign were all transferred out, and as the ministers and their families went back, they were strictly guarded, and Lone wanted to see who dared to do something to Lone's concubine and children at the state banquet. ”
Ah Wuleng paused for a moment and said, "But, Your Highness ......"
Feng Sui knew in his heart that it was not enough to have a secret guard on the surface, and he had to dispatch the Zhengbian Jun who had been raised outside the city before, but in this way, he would inevitably bring himself the hat of a private Tunfu soldier, that is, he would hand over his handle directly. But right now, he can't care about so much...... Then he said: "Lone understands, but now Lone can't care so much, go quickly, and everyone will be far away after a while." ”
Seeing Feng Sui like this, the queen was just worried about her son, and she didn't stop it, because in her heart, she was also thinking that no matter what, she would thoroughly investigate this matter to the end. Now seeing that the two of them are harmonious and have a deep relationship, they feel much more relieved and relieved. Her son is very indifferent, needless to say about feelings, it can be said that he doesn't know anything, but now he is very affectionate with this Xia Yuke, even if the child is gone, there will still be another one in the future.
Thinking of this, the queen asked the imperial doctor: "Now this time, what is the imperial doctor's plan?" ”
Zhao Pengfei trembled and knelt down and said to the queen: "Now that the side concubine is persecuted by cold poison, premature birth is the time when life hangs by a thread, what is the situation, or ask a stable woman to take a look, to see if the side concubine will have a difficult birth, if it is a smooth birth, it is a happy heart, but if it is a difficult birth, the light is to protect one of the two, and the heavy is a corpse and two lives, and both mother and child are damaged!" ”
Feng Sui was really anxious when he heard this, and the so-called concern was chaotic, so he immediately stepped forward and gave Zhao Pengfei a kick, a little childlike childishness: "Confused things, what kind of bastard words are you talking about here, if there is anything wrong with the side concubine this time, I will let your whole family bury my beloved wife!" ”
Yes, the big guy heard it right, Feng Sui did call his beloved wife in front of everyone, and after saying it this time, his heart was not as surprised as usual. At this moment, in the face of such a woman who is pregnant with flesh and blood for herself, she was victimized for his reasons, and now her life is even more likely to be lost. And she never complained to herself, and for her ambitions, she raised her noble hand to the people who had framed her many times and wanted to return her life, and she didn't pursue it like a nobody. Such a woman, in other words, is too hypocritical to say that she is not tempted by her!
Zhao Pengfei steadied himself and immediately said: "Guilty of despicable duties, please let Your Highness calm your anger." Speaking of which, His Royal Highness and the master of the side concubine are still the benefactors of the humble position, and the humble position must do their best to protect the master and the little prince. ”
Hearing this, Feng Sui put down a hanging heart, walked to the side of the chair and sat down.
The queen immediately sent someone to invite Wen Po, and Zhao Pengfei was not idle, so she hurriedly wrote down a qi tonic soup that strengthened the foundation and nourished the yuan, and ordered the painting screen to go down and boil the soup. After a while, Ling'er walked in with three or two stable women, only to see these mothers-in-law salute the queen, bow a bow, and then walk towards Xia Yuke.
After a while, the painting screen walked up with a bowl of thick soup and medicine, and fed it to Xia Yuke one bite at a time, only to hear the mother-in-law shouting over and over again: "Work hard...... ...... hard"
"Oh no, oh no, how did this fetus come out with its feet first, how is this good?" A mother-in-law hurriedly came out to report: "Back to Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Prince, this side of the concubine Niangniang was already poisoned by the cold, which led to premature birth, and now this fetal position is reversed, and the child's feet come out first, it is really difficult to preserve, and please ask His Royal Highness and Niangniang to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”
Although Feng Sui understood what Wen Po meant, it was still difficult to accept, after all, this was his first child, so he said: "What is difficult to preserve, what decision do you want to let Lone?" ”
Seeing that Feng Sui was furious, Wen Po really didn't dare to continue, so she immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, now that Niangniang has been poisoned and prematurely born, and there are signs of dystocia, I have decided to keep the big or the small!" ”
Feng Sui was angry and kicked Wen Po again, this kick is to kick this Wen Po out alive is a good distance, the queen saw that Feng Sui was also concerned about chaos, and couldn't accept it for a while, so she stepped forward to comfort her, and said: "Sui'er, the queen mother knows that you can't accept it for a while, but you must make a decision, otherwise if it drags on, both mother and child will be damaged, and even Ke'er may not be able to keep it!" ”
When Xia Yuke heard these many words, he cried out weakly: "Queen Mother, Your Highness, keep the child, you must keep the child, this is Your Highness's first child and the only child, and now everyone is waiting outside for this child to come out." ”
Hearing this, Feng Sui was anxious, hurriedly walked up to Xia Yuke, grabbed her hand, which was affectionate that he had never had, and said to her: "What nonsense? If you really have to protect one, then you must live. As he spoke, Feng Sui actually had the urge to cry, so he stood up and instructed the imperial doctor and Wen Po to instruct: "We must keep the side concubine safe, if there is anything bad about the side concubine, I will let you all bury her!" ”
Feng Sui's meaning couldn't be clearer, that is, when necessary, it is necessary to protect the adult, which in the eyes of outsiders is the deep love between the prince and the side concubine, and it is another good story to spread it. But the crown princess Song Yao on the side looked so dazzling, and now this scene made her, the crown princess, look like an outsider, and she hated Xia Yuke in her heart, and she wished that she would die directly, or directly settle two fates.
Thinking of this, Song Yao felt that she should do something, so she glanced at her maid, thinking that after this thing was done, she Song Yao would be the only one in the East Palace. I saw Song Yao slowly walk up to the queen and the crown prince, and said in a vague manner: "Queen Mother, Your Highness, why don't we move to the main hall and wait, this sister is already nervous about giving birth, so naturally she can't stand us being so noisy." ”
Although the queen and Feng Sui felt uneasy, they also felt that what Song Yao said made some sense, so they returned to the main hall together to wait for the news.
"The master and the mother have all ordered to keep the children, can't you hear?" At this time, Ling'er took advantage of the painting screen to go out to boil the second bowl of medicine, and explained to Wen Po.
Xia Yuke was speechless in shock, this Ling'er came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she told the Tai Doctor Wen that she would give up the big and protect the small when necessary, she would definitely want to keep her child, she Ling'er has always been heartfelt, why is she suddenly unable to look forward to her difficult birth to protect the child? After thinking about it again, this girl must have been instigated by someone, but because of this, she hated it in her heart, and the knife stabbed by someone close to her was the most painful.
Zhao Pengfei was discussing with a few stable women, and suddenly heard a scream, followed by a burst of baby crying, just when they hesitated for this big bag of small problems, Xia Yuke gave birth to the child by himself, and several stable women hurriedly ran over to do the follow-up work for Xia Yuke and the child. Cut the umbilical cord... Cleanse blood stains...... Then he took the baby and brought it to Xia Yuke, and said, "Master, take a look at Xiao Shizi, cute and ruthless!" ”
Xia Yuke looked at the child who was as soft as glutinous rice dumplings with a tired face, but he couldn't stop his joy, and tears flowed out in an instant. She hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Go quickly, hug it to His Highness!" ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!" The picture screen immediately took the child from Wen Po and took it out to show the queen, emperor and prince.
Seeing that Feng Sui was very excited, he ran to the side hall, thinking that he was in a hurry to see the child's mother, that is, Xia Yuke, the emperor and queen didn't say much, but they couldn't close their mouths with a smile.
Feng Sui walked to the side hall, he came to Xia Yuke's couch, grabbed Xia Yuke's hand, and said: "I have worked hard for the side concubine, and I gave birth to a little son for Gu."
Xia Yuke smiled and said, "The concubine is not hard, His Highness likes it, what happened to the child?"
Feng Sui said: "Concubine Fang can rest assured, Gu has already asked the maid to take care of our children, and sent someone to invite a nurse."
Xia Yuke said weakly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you say this child should be named?"
Feng Sui thought for a while and said, "You can rest assured, the child's name is Feng Teng, what do you think?"
Xia Yuke also felt that this name was good, Teng Teng, the homonym of Feng Teng is not Fei Teng, Fei Huang Tengda, this meaning is very good, so he said: "The name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very good, and the meaning is good, yes, then it will be called Feng Teng!"
Feng Sui smiled: "Okay, okay, you can rest quickly, this time I am also very tired, I will go to the outer hall to send my father and mother back to the palace, and then I will come to pick you up after explaining the matter, and we will go home together." ”
After speaking, he smiled at Xia Yuke and walked towards the main hall.
