"Don't be stupid, I'm in Yongxiang now, and the child in my belly is destined to have problems, who will pay attention to you."

Ping'er was a little sad: "But after all, this is the emperor's child, and the slave maid will always be tolerant when he goes to beg the emperor." ”

Calamus said lightly: "Forget it, don't ask anyone to ask the emperor." ”

She has seen through the use and betrayal of the court, and she has never relied on Sun Wen.

"But my stomach hasn't moved......"

Calamus lowered her head and stroked her bulging belly: "Actually, it's okay, I don't know what he looks like, so I don't have to worry so much." Ping'er, the matter has come to this, let's let it be. ”

"In the past few months of coming to Yongxiang, the emperor has not been here, and you don't want to see the emperor?" Ping'er almost cried, "Niangniang, why are you and the emperor so stubborn?" ”

"It's not me who is stubborn, it's that he made up his mind not to run to me anymore."

Since that time when he saw Sun Wen and Wen Jieyu together at the gate of Yongxiang, Calamus knew that Sun Wen deliberately let her see them, and he wanted her to know that in addition to Tang Calamus and Wen Jieyu in this world, there are thousands of women waiting for him.

He completely lost patience with her.

"What about Lord Qi?" Ping'er couldn't help but complain, "Didn't he keep saying that he loved his mother?" Why don't you show up? If it weren't for him that time, the emperor and his mother would not have changed to this point......"

"He ......" Calamus moved, and before she could finish her sentence, she felt her stomach fluctuate, and she stroked it with her hand, and the pain followed.

Seeing that she was motionless, Ping'er asked, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" ”

"Ping'er, my stomach has a reaction."

"Huh? That and that...... So what to do? Ping'er suddenly lost her mind, "Niangniang, what can I do then?" ”

Calamus leaned on the bed and lay down: "Don't panic, I heard before that stomach pains will not be born immediately." She frowned, trying her best to stay calm, "You go to Fu Rongbao and ask her to find a midwife to deliver the baby......"

"Yes, yes...... The slave went to find her uncle...... "Ping'er stumbled and ran out of the door."

"Come back."

She came back: "What else does the mother command?" ”

Calamus grabbed her hand and admonished: "If Fu Rongbao says that he can't be the master, present the things in his hand to the emperor and tell him that I can die, but the good in my stomach is a life." ”

Ping'er was so frightened that she cried: "Niangniang, you'll be fine, right?" ”

"It's going to be fine for now." Calamus said with a smile, "It's just that the child has been delayed for more than half a month before there is any movement, and it won't go well." ”

Ping'er grabbed her hand tightly: "Niangniang, you wait, the slave will go." ”

Sun Wenzheng and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shangshu of the Military Department were discussing political affairs in the imperial study, and Fu Rongbao was waiting outside as a parent.

"Uncle! Uncle! Ping'er ran into the Chengqian Palace like a gallop, and was immediately stopped and shouted, "Bold! What a crime to dare to break in recklessly! ”

Ping'er was anxious and afraid, and when she saw Fu Rongbao's figure, she fluttered wildly, "Uncle! Over here! ”

When Fu Rongbao saw that it was Ping'er, he immediately looked around and walked up to her: "You girl, you stay in Yongxiang well, what are you doing here?" ”

Ping'er grabbed Fu Rongbao's sleeve: "Uncle, please save Niangniang, she is about to give birth." ”

"Going to give birth?" Fu Rongbao was really surprised, "Didn't you say that you haven't given birth yet?" ”

"Niangniang's day of childbirth has been postponed for more than half a month, and now she is in pain, not that I said, Niangniang has not even had a midwife by her side for such a long time in Yongxiang." The more Ping'er spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, "My mother and I don't care if we suffer some grievances, the key is the child in my mother's womb, even if it is not good, it is the emperor's flesh and blood." ”

Fu Rongbao hurriedly interrupted her: "No, how can the emperor not cherish his own flesh and blood?" He had already instructed the Internal Affairs Office to send a midwife to Yongxiang to serve Niangniang to give birth, and even the imperial doctor was invited, but he just ordered that Niangniang should not know that it was the emperor's intention. ”

Ping'er was also stunned: "For so long in Yongxiang, except for the slave maid and the mother, I haven't seen the midwife and the imperial doctor at all." ”

Both of them were stunned for a while.

Ping'er handed the things in her hand to Fu Rongbao: "Uncle, Ping'er begs you to give this to the emperor, the mother said that even if the emperor hates her again, these have nothing to do with the child in the belly, and it is a life." ”

Fu Rongbao didn't even have time to see what Ping'er handed over to him, so he walked into the main hall with his things.

"Regarding the actions of several princes in the palace, we must be unguarded against and cannot tolerate mistakes."

Fu Rongbao hurriedly walked in: "Your Majesty, the slave has something to do......"

Sun Wen was angry: "I'm busy, you go out first." ”

Fu Rongbao glanced at him: "Your Majesty, the slave is brave." ”

At this time, everyone stopped to look at him, Fu Rongbao looked nervous and leaned over to Sun Wen's side and whispered in his ear for a while, after speaking, he handed him the things in his hand, and immediately bowed his head: "Your Majesty, what should I do now?" ”

Sun Wen spread out his hand and saw that it was a big red belly pocket, on which was embroidered with an extremely delicate needle and thread for a cute boy.

He remembered that the time he had pulled out from under the iris pillow was this belly pocket.

She was telling him what he had said: she wanted to keep the child.

In front of the ministers, Calamus was very calm: "Fu Rongbao, go and send Aunt Gulan over, if you need anything, you can go down." ”

Fu Rongbao was busy: "Yes, the slave will go." ”

"Also," Sun Wenzhi secretly clenched the belly pocket in his hand, "don't be fine." ”

Fu Rongbao walked out with a huff.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department asked: "Your Majesty, has something happened?" ”

Sun Wen smiled slightly: "It's nothing, where did I just go?" Go on. ”

"Yes. Emperor. ”

In Yongxiang, the sound of calamus echoed faintly, she was lying on the kang alone, her breath was short, her labor pain was cracking, she felt that she was wet under her, and when she touched it with her hand, she guessed that the amniotic water was broken.

She had never been so worried and afraid, thinking of the child in her belly, she held back her tears and said, "Mother hopes that you are a strong child, you must be well." ”

Speaking of the back, she choked on the quilt, sad and painful.

"! Empress! Gulan Ping'er rushed in from the outside and saw that Calamus had messy hair and was covered with tears and sweat.

Gulan approached Calamus, held her hand, and burst into tears, "Niangniang, you have suffered. ”

Calamus breathed weakly: "Why are you here?" ”

Gu Lan also held back his tears and did not let the tears fall: "It was the emperor who asked the slave to give birth for the mother." She suddenly smiled, "Back then, the emperor was born in Yongxiang and was delivered by a slave. ”

"Gouran," Calamus pleaded with her eyes, "I've never thought of anything in my life, this child is my only luxury, and I can't let it happen anyway." ”

Gu Lan nodded: "The slave and maid should do their best to protect the mother and the child in her belly." ”

Calamus added: "I'm fine, the child is the most important." ”

She has realized that the current situation is not optimistic, and first explained her wishes to Gulan: when she is helpless, the child comes first, and she comes second.

Gu Lan refused to agree to her, and took a breath: "Niangniang, you relax first and follow what the slave says." He also commanded, "Ping'er, you go and boil water, and tell Father-in-law Fu that men are not allowed to come in." ”

"Oh, oh, go now."

When Gonggong Fu saw Ping'er coming out, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Is it raw? ”

Ping'er gave him a blank look, and he didn't pay a blind eye.

Fu Rongbao was angry: "You girl dare to do this to me? ”

Ping'er gritted her teeth: "Hmph! It's because you didn't do it well that made Niangniang suffer so many grievances, if Niangniang and the child in her belly have a good time, what should you do if you look at the emperor? ”

"Crow's beak! If something happens to the mother and the child, the emperor must not die of sadness? ”

"Sad? I'd like to see how sad he can be. Ping'er snorted, "Niangniang always says that men are unkind, and I didn't understand it at first." Now I kind of get it. ”

Fu Rongbao was guarding outside, and there was a cry of calamus from inside, and his whole person trembled: "God bless, the mother and the child must be healthy and safe." ”

Gu Lan said inside: "Niangniang, you shout out, shout loudly!" One, two, three, force! ”

The more Fu Rongbao listened, the more panicked he became, and when he saw Ping'er going back and forth, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, so he had to pace back and forth.

"Fu Rongbao."

I don't know when Sun Wen appeared, he came in a hurry, and he didn't even change the dragon robe on his body.

Fu Rongbao hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, why are you here?" ”

"How is she?"

"Gulan is still delivering the baby inside, and there is no news yet."

From time to time, there was a hoarse voice from the calamus, and Sun Wen looked stunned and walked up quickly.

"Your Majesty can't do it!" Fu Rongbao chased after him and stopped in front of him, "Gu Lan said that men in the delivery room are not allowed to enter. ”

"I am the emperor!"

"Just because the emperor is the Ninety-Five, he can't let the filth of that delivery room rush away."

Through a door, inside was the hysterical voice of Calamus, and outside was Sun Wen in a hurry.

After a moment of hesitation, he insisted on pushing the door open.

Fu Rongbao was bold: "Your Majesty! Never. ”

Gu Lan's forehead was already sweating, and he said to Calamus: "Niangniang, the emperor is waiting outside, don't be discouraged if you work hard." ”

Calamus was also soaking wet: "Gulan, I really don't have the strength, I'm so sleepy." ”

"Don't fall asleep, don't you think about your hard work in October just to wait for the child to be born?" Gu Lan was shocked and frightened, "Your temperament is exactly the same as the original Empress Dowager Mingchun." ”

"Quran, I ......"

"Mother, it's almost there!" Guran exclaimed, "The slave has seen the child's head. ”

Just this sentence made the calamus suddenly have strength, and she supported it with all her strength.

Gu Lan's face became more and more pale: "Niangniang...... Mother, you ......."

"Are you alive? Did the child come out? Calamus's face was bloodshot, "Gulan, have you given birth?" ”

"Niangniang......" Gu Lan looked at the unstoppable blood on her body, and tears fell down, "Niangniang has a lot of blood ......"

Calamus smiled weakly: "Really? What about children? Did the child come out? "She felt that her body was no longer her own, that there was no pain, no sensation.

"Mother's ......"

"No matter what, you must save your child's ......"

Gu Lan only grabbed the ankle of the calamus: "Mother, you can't give up on yourself. ”

"I don't want to give up on myself, but I can't, Guran, I'm tired......" Iris strained her last bit of strength, and she couldn't make a sound anymore.

Gulan grabbed the child in the pool of blood and screamed: "Mother! ”

Sun Wen immediately rushed in from outside: "Calamus! ”

Calamus was lying on the kang, and the lower half of her body was covered with blood.

"What's wrong? How so? ”

Gu Lan just hugged the child in her arms and cried: "The child in the mother's womb is born with a defect, and it moves slower than ordinary people when it comes out of the mother's womb, so it ......" She sobbed and could barely speak, "so it caused the mother to collapse ...... blood"

Sun Wen's face was incredulous: "Blood collapse? Blood collapse? Doctor! Go to Xuan Taiyi! ”

After a while, he muttered to himself, reached out to grab Calamus's hand, "You get up, tell me you're okay, you get up!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Empress...... , she ......"

"Gladiolus, you get up! Aren't you leaving? If you really hate me so much, I can let you go, really, I didn't lie to you. ”

"Your Majesty...... , she's ......."

"I ordered to send a midwife and a doctor, and I didn't ask about you again, because I was not good, and I was angry." Sun Wen touched Calamus's cheek with tears in his eyes, "I was wrong, I swear I will never do this again, Calamus, you open your eyes and look at me, you can beat or scold me." ”

After talking for a long time, the lying calamus still didn't move.

It wasn't until the imperial doctor came that he saw that the calamus was no longer breathing and had no pulse, and announced: "Your Majesty, Concubine An has gone." ”

At that moment, Sun Wen was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"No, I don't believe it." He was depressed and sad, "I don't believe she left like this, she still has children......"

At this time, I heard Gu Lan say: "The imperial doctor, come and see the little prince." He hadn't cried since he was born, he hadn't opened his eyes, and now he was cold. ”

The imperial doctor went over to look at the child's heartbeat and shook his head: "Little prince, he ...... Also already went. ”

Sun Wen grabbed the imperial doctor's collar and was furious: "Concubine An gave birth to a child with her life, and you actually said that you didn't save it?" ”

The imperial doctor knelt down: "The emperor forgives the sin, the little prince is congenitally defective, and the mother's blood collapse is too powerful, so he couldn't save it." If you had used the imperial doctor to carefully condition the mother's body on the side before, maybe ...... Maybe that won't happen......"

Before he could speak, Sun Wen had already kicked him away: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

"Your Majesty!"

"I ...... Talk to her. ”

Sun Wen knelt in front of the kang, still holding Calamus's hand tightly: "I don't care about you, I'm just jealous...... Jealous that Sun Qi is loved by you, you can do anything for him, I ...... How I wish I could be loved by you as much as he did. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes: "But I regret it now, I just want to see you live well." Just like in the past ten years, I met you on the streets of Gusu, and by chance you entered the palace, watched you struggle to survive in the palace, and witnessed you and Sun Qi falling in love...... As long as you can live well, it doesn't matter if you never love me, I depend on you for everything, okay? ”

"Calamus...... Calamus ......" called her name over and over again, but it was a heartache again and again, and she had never had such a heart-rending feeling, the heart that had been filled with deep love was suddenly taken away from her body, indescribable, difficult to breathe.

I don't know how long it took, someone came to Sun Wen's side silently and knelt beside him: "Your Majesty, please mourn, Concubine An...... She couldn't wake up again. ”

Sun Wen looked at Wen Jieyu with tears in her eyes: "Wen Hua, I don't believe she just went." ”

Wen Jieyu hugged his head and sobbed softly: "The concubine just heard the news, and she couldn't accept it no matter what, so she rushed over immediately after being sad, because the concubine knew that the most uncomfortable thing at this time was the emperor." ”

"Your Majesty...... The emperor ......" Su Ruyuan rushed in outside wearing a phoenix uniform, "The concubine heard that Concubine An and the newborn child were born, so she came over to take a look." ”

Sun Wen raised his head from Wen Jieyu's shoulder, then slowly stood up, and looked blankly at Su Ruyuan who walked in.

She walked over and burst into tears: "Even though the emperor is sad, but Concubine An's future affairs cannot be mistaken, the concubine has already thought about it, although she was punished in Yongxiang, but the future affairs are still handled according to the concubine's etiquette, does the emperor feel good?" ”

"Good! Very good! Sun Wen sneered, and then slapped Su Ruyuan hard, "You have even arranged her funeral, it seems that you really wish she would die early!" ”

Su Ruyuan was slapped so hard that the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she covered her face with her hands: "Your Majesty, you are wronged...... The concubine never thought of wanting Concubine An to die. ”

Wen Jieyu also said: "The emperor is angry, the queen may be thoughtful......"

"Shut up!" Sun Wenyin grimaced, interrupted Wen Jieyu's words, and gritted her teeth at this Su Ruyuan, "You haven't thought about it?" Then I ask you, what about the imperial doctors and midwives arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”

Hearing this, Su Ruyuan's expression changed: "The concubine doesn't know about this." ”

"As the queen, you are in charge of the harem, do you dare to say that you don't know this?" Sun Wen pointed at her head with his hand, "I can find the Internal Affairs Office and the Internal Service Bureau to find it clear." ”

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Su Ruyuan pulled his dragon robe, "There is a reason for the concubine to do this, Concubine An is a guilty person in Yongxiang, how can she have the imperial doctor and the midwife by her side?" ”

Sun Wen couldn't bear it anymore, and pushed her away: "As a queen, you are so femme fatale!" If you kill her, you will kill me! Su Ruyuan, I will make you pay for your blood debts! ”

Su Ruyuan's eyes widened in horror: "The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine didn't know that things would turn out like this, the concubine still has Yan'er, the emperor can't let Yan'er have no queen mother since she was a child." ”

When Sun heard the news that he was going to deal with Su Ruyuan, even the Queen Mother was shocked.

With the support of the palace people, she rushed to Yongxiang to advise Sun Wen: "The emperor must not be abolished." ”

Sun Wen was dressed in plain clothes, and the domineering and extravagance on his body faded, leaving only a physical and mental injury: "If my aunt comes to see Erchen, Erchen has received her mind, if it's okay, Auntie, please go back, Erchen wants to be alone for a while." ”

It was only an hour or two before and after, and it had already shocked the entire palace.

The Queen Mother looked at the sealed coffin, and felt sad for a while: "The mourning family knows that the emperor loves Tang Calamus, but he ......"

"Since my aunt knows, she shouldn't persuade her son to let Su Ruyuan go!"

"Has the emperor thought about it, if you move Su Ruyuan, will the relationship between you and the Su family still be harmonious?"

"In this matter, I will not bow my head."

"Don't be dizzy because you're sad, if you hurt your relationship with the Su family, will they still follow you?" Without waiting for Sun Wen to speak, the Queen Mother said, "No, this is just what some people want." ”

Sun Wen had no intention of paying attention to those struggles: "Auntie, I want to be quiet for a while. ”

The Queen Mother held his shoulders with a look of pity: "Your Majesty, you heard from the mourning family that this matter is not so simple. Even if the queen wants to harm gladiolus, she will not be so blatant, she is a smart person, of course, in front of some people, she is just a small carving insect. ”

When she said this, Sun Wencai raised her head: "Auntie means ......"

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows." The Queen Mother looked at the coffin, "Killing Tang Iris and the child, blaming Su Ruyuan, this is just the first step of the people behind the scenes." ”

Sun Wen said bitterly: "I don't want to think about it, I just feel very tired." ”

"In any case, you can't let your beloved woman and newborn child die in vain. Your Majesty, be strong, with your wisdom and ability, one day it will come to light. ”

Sun Wen nodded reluctantly: "Auntie, I will send you out." ”

The Queen Mother walked out with him: "You just let her be in Yongxiang?" ”

"I'll let her go back to the East Palace."

"Why does the emperor keep letting her live in the East Palace?"

"Because it's a place where I've lived for many years, and it's full of iris flowers......

The Queen Mother couldn't listen to it anymore: "Your Majesty ......"

"Auntie go slowly, I'm not far away."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud noise inside.

Sun Wen's expression was dazed, and he hurriedly rushed in: "What happened?" ”

There was no movement inside, only Gulan Heping was frightened and shrunk into a ball: "Coffin...... Coming from inside the coffin. ”

Sun Wen approached the coffin, looked east and west, and stretched out his hand to push it away.

"Your Majesty." The Queen Mother shouted behind her, "Siren has gone, let her go at ease." ”

He stopped his movements and turned his head: "I will let her go in peace." ”

When Calamus opened her eyes dimly from her slumber, she felt that the sunlight on her face was extremely dazzling, and she blinked quickly before she gradually became conscious.

It's like a dream, long and tired.

"Uh-huh......" she snapped, her voice startling the people on the side.

"She's awake!" The man turned and walked out.

Calamus looked in the direction of the sound, the door was open, and the sun was shining outside. She moved, suddenly felt that something was wrong, reached out and touched her stomach, and sat up in shock: "Child...... My kids ......"

"You're awake." A voice came from outside.

Calamus hurriedly looked up, stunned.

Sun Qi was dressed in light cyan clothes, with a handsome and elegant face. He walked in: "You're finally awake." ”

Calamus grabbed his arm, snorted hoarsely, and looked panicked: "What about the child?" What about my child? Where is this? I remember that Gulan delivered the baby for me, but what about her? What about Ping'er? ”

She was quite excited, and Sun Qi comforted: "Don't worry, drink some hot water first." ”

He poured a cup of hot water and blew it before handing it to the calamus.

She didn't take it at first.

"You drink it, I can tell you one thing at a time."

The calamus was so thirsty that he drank all the water in his cup.

Sun Qi smiled with satisfaction, and reached out to brush her hair: "You have lost weight and are much haggard." He looked at the calamus affectionately, "I finally took you out of the palace, and no one will come to disturb us in the future, okay?" ”
