Although Hua Liangren was presumptuous, his words were reasonable, and the concubines on the side listened to it and echoed it. Concubine Jing forcibly suppressed her anger and said coldly: "Since the lover respects the queen, then according to your wishes, you will go to the side hall to ask for the Buddha!" ”

In fact, Concubine Jing really didn't bother to pay attention to this group of women. At that time, the emperor's holy car and the imperial doctors arrived together, and the concubines were going to the small Buddha hall one after another, and the emperor ignored them when he saw them, and went straight into the inner room to ask Concubine Jing: "How is the queen?" ”

Concubine Jing looked at the emperor's face that was so heavy that it could drip water, and her body couldn't help but tremble, and her legs fell to her knees: "Your Majesty, the concubine has just gotten the news...... The medicine girl and the grandmothers are already serving in the delivery room, and the queen has just taken the Yimu decoction, and her condition is not very bad......"

"I see." Tuoba Hong's voice was calm and indifferent, and Concubine Jing felt the increasingly heavy coercion, and knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say more. The emperor turned around and looked at the other two women in the hall, Zhao Zhaoyi and Lin Yuan. They are the people in charge of the palace, and they can't follow others to the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings without incident.

"Do you know why the queen was born prematurely?"

Lin Yuan knew how terrible Tuoba Hong was at this time. She learned from Concubine Jing and knelt down, and replied in a proper manner: "I listened to the palace people of Changxin Palace, and the Queen Mother couldn't eat when she got up this morning, and then she retched for a long time, and she didn't get better after taking the pills she used to take." As soon as he was about to pass on to the imperial doctor, he saw red under him, and he was already in labor. ”

Hearing this, Takubahiro sat down in silence. Lin Yuan's side of a palace maid from Changxin Palace kowtowed and said, "What Zhaoyuan Niangniang said is good. ”

This is the queen's henchman, and it is impossible for Tuoba Hong to doubt her words.

It's not an accident or a frame-up that Queen Xiao is seriously ill day by day and can't hold on.

It's not the first day she can't eat. Since the Spring Festival of the 11th year of the Qianwu fight, her health has deteriorated. In February, the Mongolian king presented a fierce beast fight, and on the first night of the holy car's departure to the Mulan paddock, Xiao Yueyi also took the emperor's hand and said that he hadn't been out of the house for a long time, and he was so bored that he really wanted to see the wonderful performance.

She also said that she used to like to ride horses, and ten years ago, she often rode and shot in Mulan with Tuoba Hong.

It's a pity that these fun things can't be done now.

How dare Tuoba Hong agree to her, don't say that the bloodiness of the gladiatorial fight will frighten her, such a crowded noisy scene will buzz her ears, and it will be unbearable for a seriously ill pregnant woman.

It seems that he has long expected in his heart that with Xiao Yueyi's body, it will be difficult to survive until full-term production.

I just couldn't think of it so soon.

Several imperial doctors didn't need to be instructed, and they all hurriedly trotted in.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much, the imperial doctors in the palace are all national players, although the queen mother was born prematurely, if it is handled properly, the mother and child will be safe after all." Zhao Zhaoyi's words were very sincere. She has no interest entanglement with Queen Xiao, and she has never had any grievances. However, she didn't want anything to happen to Empress Xiao.

If the queen really has three long and two short, who is the most proud?

In addition to Concubine Jing, the head of all the concubines with noble birth and qualifications, who else could there be?

If Concubine Jing really picks up the back seat at that time, Zhao Zhaoyi and her two daughters will end their lives.

Tuoba Hong listened to it with a wry smile on his face. Zhao Zhaoyi still didn't understand what Empress Xiao was facing.

He raised his hand and said, "Get up, all of you." I went in to see the queen, you are outside with the palace people, you need nothing to be neglected. ”

Several people even claimed to be.

The delivery room of Choshin Palace is located in the warm pavilion on the south side. Concubine Jing straightened up and looked at the emperor's back, wanting to remind her that the blood room was unlucky, but she was very scared in her heart, so she didn't say it. Lin Yuan and Zhao Zhaoyi were still afraid of the emperor's cold face, and they didn't dare to speak when they watched the emperor go in.

It's eerily calm.

Ordinary women will cry in pain when they give birth, and there is no sound in the delivery room.

Tuoba Hong went all the way, and An Gui and several imperial attendants were shocked, and they fell down in front of him and stopped, and they were all kicked away. He lifted the heavy silver ratskin curtain in front of the warm pavilion door, and a wave of damp heat came to his face, mixed with the smell of sour blood. When the fifth prince, the sixth prince and even Emperor Shujia were born, he went in to visit the concubines after giving birth, and he also greeted him with such a fishy hot breath. At this time, he will always be happy, holding the baby's soft body, and talking to the child's mother.

Only this time there won't be that kind of joy.

Empress Xiao propped herself up from under the heavy curtains and looked up at him. The medical women kneeling in front of the couch were lifting the quilt and encouraging her to exert herself, her face was sweating, biting her lip, and watching her husband slowly approach.

"Your Majesty, my father has entered the palace......" she tried to make it clear.

Tuoba Hong reached into the quilt and touched her hand, which was also covered with cold sweat. At this time, he found that he didn't know what to say.

What to say......

All the things that should be said and done have been discussed between him and Prime Minister Zuo. How should a deceased queen and a former father-in-law settle down, he has already prepared in this pregnancy that has long known the ending. It's just that he's not ready for how to face a dying wife.

"Your Majesty, my father ......" Empress Xiao was already in pain. But she knew she couldn't shout, she didn't have the strength to waste.

"Yueyi, Prime Minister Zuo is rushing to the palace, I will accompany you now." He looked at Xiao Yueyi's eyes: "You don't need to worry about these things, the prime minister was on the fold a long time ago, and I also agreed...... Your father, I crowned him as a concubine, and gave him a house on the outskirts of Beijing. Your brother, I have promoted him to the rank of servant. Your two uncles were sent to Luoyang and Shandong as governors...... If you give birth to a prince, you will enter the Jianzhang Palace and be raised by me. ”

"Emperor Xie, my father is old, and he should have returned to his hometown a long time ago." Xiao Yueyi gasped. She didn't have the energy to keep looking into the emperor's eyes, and she had to close her eyes and grit her teeth for a while.

Takubahiro was a little surprised, she would say this. Empress Xiao, she has been obsessed with power all her life, how could she want to give up the status of the Xiao family? This time, she was pregnant with a child, and Tuoba Hong and Xiao Chengxiang had already started negotiations. Prime Minister Xiao wanted to continue the glory of the Xiao family, and he used a grandson emperor as a bargaining chip to persuade Prime Minister Xiao to give up his official position and become a prince who only left a false title. Although he lost his power in the future, he had a grandson who became an emperor. Isn't the Xiao family still extremely honorable?

The final result was a compromise between Prime Minister Xiao Cheng. The emperor's promise to "bring the prince into the Jianzhang Palace to raise him personally" made him willing to give up the position of prime minister. The rest of the Xiao family can continue to be officials, but they are not as good as officials.

When he talked to Xiao Cheng at the beginning, he was hindered a lot, and the old fox was willing to take off his official uniform and return to his hometown until he died of illness. Now talking about this with Empress Xiao, he thought it would take a lot of talk.

As a result, this woman, who has always given him a headache, didn't embarrass him this time.

"Yueyi, you're tired, don't think about it anymore." He felt that she must be too tired.

"No, Your Majesty, listen to me." She grabbed the emperor's hand: "I'm not pregnant with the prince, but the emperor's ......" and then reluctantly showed a wry smile: "Actually, what's wrong with the emperor, I desperately wanted a boy at first...... However, I have not had a child of my own in my life, and now I have, even if it is the emperor, it is also my child and yours. She has no way to inherit Daqin's society, and she doesn't have the strength to help her maternal grandfather's family, but no matter what, she is the child of me and Gorou......"

"Yueyi?" Takoba Hong's eyes widened.

"It's a deity." Empress Xiao repeated: "I don't have any energy in my lower body. It was the doctor who put her hand in and helped me give birth...... I also figured out that it was a girl. ”

Takubahiro's face turned pale for a moment. The healer put her hands in...... What a pain it was.

"Is the Emperor...... he muttered.

Many thoughts came to my mind. Before that, he didn't even expect that it would be the emperor's, Xiao Yueyi didn't even want her life for this child, in addition to taking the evil recipe for leaving the child to go to the mother, she also used the medicine that helps give birth to a male fetus. If it's the biggest price to pay, why not do it perfectly?

However, in the end, he only got an emperor?

Tuoba Hong turned to Imperial Doctor Liang suspiciously.

Before he could ask, Liang Shouchang said: "Your Majesty, the body of the queen's mother is incomparable with the original Chang and the concubine. ”

Takubahiro understood in an instant. The key is still in the mother's physique, the concubine can give birth to twin princes with medicine, but the queen can't do it.

She couldn't even give birth to term.

It's a blessing to be able to leave an emperor.

Takubahiro also smiled bitterly. He had long been ready to welcome a prince, and he and Prime Minister Zuo were fighting for this prince, but in the end they were just an emperor.

"Gorou, aren't you happy?" Xiao Yueyi laughed: "We have children." ”

"Well, yes!" Takoba Hong's mind was almost a little unrecoiled. He looked at Empress Xiao nervously: "Don't talk anymore, okay?" I will always be with you. ”
