It is impossible to count on it. With Tian Concubine's ability, it is impossible to successfully win the child, isn't it the emperor's instructions!

If the concubine can disappear from this palace......

The ownership of the five princes is not yet known!

Empress Xiao summoned the palace maids in, passed a few plates of pastries to eat, and changed into a bright yellow embroidered hibiscus shirt, cheered up her spirits and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair to leave the palace.

Ye Guiji was busy all morning and found nothing. Empress Xiao understood that Ye Guiji was not hiding something, but that she really didn't know anything. The murderer's methods were too clever and obscure, and Ye Guiji was knocked on the fence by a group of palace people and fainted, and she didn't see anything clearly.

The Zhao family, who stayed with the Ye family at that time, is worth checking out. It's just that Queen Xiao thought of Chu Huasheng's personality, so she decided not to move the Zhao family first, so as not to startle the snake.

Empress Xiao thought about it and finally decided to start with the dead Ren.

She ordered a large number of guards to go to the gate of Huayang Palace to collect evidence, and personally went to the palace where Ren lived before his death, and interrogated the palace people around Ren.

Ren's personal palace maid was a loyal one, pulling Queen Xiao's skirt and crying, telling in great detail what she saw and heard that night like pouring beans on a bamboo tube. Unfortunately, there is no valuable information in it.

Ren Guiren had fallen and injured himself in the flower garden, and the emperor gave the sedan chair sympatheticly, but in the middle of the way, the lower abdomen pain did not stop, and there were faint signs of redness. The palace people around her wanted to send her back to the palace as soon as possible, but they unexpectedly fell again when they walked to the gate of Huayang Palace...... They also met Hui Concubine halfway through.

There is no doubt that the puddle of water on the ground of Huayang Palace is rushing towards this concubine. However, neither Ren nor Hui Concubine found any sneaky figures on the road.

Empress Xiao's brows furrowed even tighter. She had no choice but to ask these palace people more carefully.

At this time, there was a palace person outside and said: "Concubine Hui is about to give birth." ”

Empress Xiao was shocked: "Isn't there still half a month left in the delivery period!" ”

***

Here, Empress Xiao put aside the matter at hand and hurried to Huayang Palace, and the scarlet building over there was also very panicked.

Lin Yuan really didn't expect that she would be born prematurely, in fact, she couldn't say that she was born prematurely, she was more than nine months old. It is normal for a woman to give birth early or within 20 days of delay.

It's ashamed, because she doesn't need to say hello to the queen, she was bored after getting up, and she was annoyed, so she called a few palace maids in Chuxue and made up a circle of mahjong.

In this era, mahjong is still called dominoes, which is not popular in the north, but Lin Yuan likes it. When a certain game was wrong, she stretched out her arms and laughed very happily, but she became angry.

Then there is abdominal pain.

Although the delivery room has already been prepared in the scarlet building, and there are also midwives and doctors, Lin Yuan came suddenly, and the palace people panicked. The two palace maids carried Lin Yuan, who had no production experience and kept moaning, a few grandmothers rushed to the delivery room to prepare hot water towels or something, Xiao Chengzi and a few internal supervisors rushed out to invite the emperor, the queen and the imperial doctors. Lin Yuan herself was shocked and frightened, and her stomach hurt like colic.

Fortunately, Aunt Han is a person who came over, and she only entered the palace as a rough palace maid when she gave birth to a child, she drank a few medical women, and said calmly: "Niangniang, this is the appearance of labor pain, what to do at this time, don't you know as a medical girl!" Niangniang didn't fall again, and it wasn't a premature birth, don't make such a fuss! ”

Several medical girls were young and not stable enough, and they quieted down after listening to Aunt Han's words. One person stepped forward and said: "Niangniang is the firstborn, this time I should help Niangniang to walk around the house twice, which is conducive to opening the palace." Wait until the amniotic water breaks and move to the delivery room. ”

Lin Yuan looked bitter: "The concubine is in pain like this, and she has to walk two laps?" ”

"You're not at the most painful yet, mother, and bear with it." Aunt Han came up to persuade: "If you don't listen to the words of the doctor, you will only be offended later." Chu Tao, a few of you come over and help Niangniang go. ”

Lin Yuan had seen several births of Guifei and Ye Xiuxin before, so she naturally knew how painful and difficult it was to give birth to a child in ancient times when there was no caesarean section. But when it comes to oneself, one can truly feel this personal suffering.

She gasped in pain, and she had to endure walking. Over there, another palace maid came up with a bowl of poached eggs and said, "Niangniang wants to eat, and she will have strength when she gives birth." ”

The poached egg is boiled in brown sugar water, without salt or oil, which is the first recipe for pregnant women in the palace. Lin Yuan took a bite and almost vomited, and the palace people next to her tried their best to persuade her to finish eating.

Lin Yuan was about to cry, this is not a human sin!

After walking for half an hour, there was an urge for warmth under him. The doctors knew that the amniotic water had broken, and they busily carried her to the delivery room.

It is said that it is a delivery room, but in fact it is just a small warm pavilion with an extremely hot earth dragon, the bed is covered with a thick cotton silk quilt, and two lines of silk hang from the beams. The palace people carried a large bucket of hot water and put it in the house, and as soon as Lin Yuanfu entered, the hot and humid stuffiness came to his face.

It's summer in August! Lin Yuan wanted to howl.

There was only a small window around, not that it was not breathable, but it was too hot. Chu Xue led people to settle Lin Yuan, and the two old grandmothers came in and lifted the quilt at the end of the bed, and knelt on the ground to help Lin Yuan deliver the baby.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no preparation in the palace, and when the emperor and queen heard the news and rushed over, Lin Yuan was already suffering in the delivery room. Chu Xue came in from outside with a bowl of motherwort soup, and said in Lin Yuan's ear: "Niangniang's delivery date is early, and the emperor is angry." ”

Imperial Doctor Wu, who was kneeling behind the screen, said: "Niangniang is a smooth birth, don't worry." The early delivery date is also a personal physical problem, Weichen has already diagnosed the pulse, and Niangniang is not in any danger. ”

At that time, Lin Yuan was already sweating profusely, painful and hot, could she not sweat. She barely suppressed the pain and whispered to Chu Xue: "Go out and tell the emperor that I was frightened by what happened the day before yesterday, so I was born prematurely." ”

Chu Xue didn't understand anything, and smiled slightly: "The slave knows." And he withdrew and took his leave.

The emperor and the empress were waiting in the outer hall, and after listening to what Chu Xue said, Tuoba Hong was furious on the spot, and saw that the queen's face was a little bad: "Who was pretending to be a ghost in the flower garden that day, why haven't you found out until now!" I must find out the murderer, and I can only solve the hatred in my heart! ”

Empress Xiao was so panicked that she hurriedly confessed, saying that she was not able to verify it herself. I was very depressed in my heart, it has been two days since the incident, and Hui Concubine has nothing to do for two days, she was born prematurely today, so let's talk about this.

If he didn't want to drag Concubine Tian into the water, where would he bother to help her investigate this matter!

Tuoba Hong looked irritably at the delivery room with its heavy curtains, the screams of the women in it and the voices of the two grandmothers. Lin Yuan, the little woman, was very squeamish for fear of pain and pain, and the doctors and grandmothers told her not to shout so loudly and waste her strength, but she didn't listen, saying that the pain was so unbearable.

The grandmothers can't do anything, but fortunately, one of them, Mama Chen, who is in her sixties, has been a midwife all her life, and her skills are superb, and she is very popular in the palace. Don't look at her old age, her spirit is not lost, she shouted to Lin Yuan at the top of her voice: "Inhale - hard!" Inhale – hard! ……”

She shouted loudly and loudly, and her voice was as loud as that of the screaming Lin Yuan, and the emperor and empress sitting outside were speechless. It's a pity that Lin Yuan didn't cooperate well, and Mama asked her to inhale, but she was often discouraged. Mama made her harder, and she just wanted to inhale.

Mama Chen couldn't help but shout: "Inhale...... Empress! It's time to inhale and follow the rhythm of the old slave! Don't mess with yourself! ”

"Is the child coming out, I'm really in pain...... Lin Yuan asked, leaning on.

The grandmothers next to him comforted: "Don't worry! It's only a few times, and it takes three or four hours for the average first child to be born naturally. Your palace mouth hasn't been fully opened......"

Lin Yuan wanted to faint when she heard this. The grandmother said again: "Mother! Don't be afraid, the emperor is waiting outside. With the emperor's blessing, you will be safe. ”

Lin Yuan: "Hehe. ”

In unbearable pain, Lin Yuan gasped and asked the people next to him: "Except for the emperor, who is outside?" Are the queen and Concubine Jing both there? ”

"The queen mother and Concubine Jing came the earliest, and the emperor just arrived." Chu Xue replied casually, her eyes staring at Lin Yuan drinking the bitter motherwort juice: "Concubine Jing Niangniang is the lord of Huayang Palace, and the queen is the lord of the Six Palaces, these two naturally act with all their hearts, and they dare not slack off." In addition, An Lingji and you are good friends, and Qi Ronghua from the same palace has also arrived, as well as Zhao Shuyuan, Wang Shurong, Tian Concubine, etc. ”

Lin Yuan finally drank a few sips of medicine, but she was so bitter that she couldn't drink it anymore. She said tiredly: "They are not tired, they run over and wait for me to give birth." I can't strangle me in my heart, but I want to make a harem harmony and sisterhood! ”

"It has always been like this in the harem, but when the Ye family gave birth, Concubine Jing made an exception to prevent the concubine from coming over in order to ask for credit." Chu Xue paused and said: "What's more, the emperor is here, I can't see the emperor for many days when I don't like it, how can I not rush over when I have this opportunity." ”

"Well, don't mention them, you tell the attendants outside to take strict precautions." Lin Yuan was in a lot of pain, but her heart was even more tormented, sure enough, the production would not be a smooth thing, there were many people outside, and I didn't know what chaos would happen.

Remembering something again, he asked, "Why did the emperor come so late?" ”

With Tuobahong's attention to her, as soon as he heard that she was going to give birth, he should jump and run over!

"I heard that it was He Lianji who entangled the emperor!" Chu Xue's voice was full of disgust: "In order to get justice for the dead Ren family, she went to Jianzhang Palace to ask for the emperor to come back from the queen's mother's palace, and she kept pestering until Xiao Chengzi went to play the news of the mother." ”
