292 Reckoning (1)
Si Yue took a deep breath, and then said, "Seal it up, continue to check everything......
Feng Jing hurriedly got up and continued to check all the things sent to the room, white cloth, scissors, food, ginseng soup and other things that would be used, and the rest of the things were sent into the room smoothly without any problems.
Faintly, some sounds could still be heard inside, Lin Su's small moans and groans, and the sound of Mama Wu and Mama Lin talking. Si Yue sat in his place, holding the teacup in his hand with an ugly expression and saying nothing.
Empress Dowager Lan secretly glanced at Zhou Shuxian, and the moment the eyes of the two people staggered, she shook her head slightly, but what was greeted was the suspicious and scrutinizing gaze of Empress Dowager Lan.
Zhou Shuxian was almost annoyed, but fortunately she could still realize that there were still Empress Dowager Zhao and Si Yue here, so she just turned her head and motioned to the palace maid on the side to refill her tea.
Feng Jing didn't speak, and no one dared to speak easily at this time. The entire outer room fell silent for a moment, and apart from the footsteps of the palace maids entering and exiting, only the movement of the inner room could be heard.
Chang Fugui's movements were still very fast, and it didn't take long for him to bring the three palace maids and the two eunuchs in with the guards.
Several people were pushed and knelt in the middle of the room, and when they looked up and saw the largest masters of the palace sitting on them, they quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, calling out that they were innocent.
Si Yue looked at the five people kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Shuxian, "What did the queen say?" ”
Zhou Shuxian stared at the palace maid in the middle with a fierce expression, and suddenly came back to her senses when she heard Si Yue so obedient, and said coldly, "Since they are all suspicious, and this matter is related to the emperor's heir, we will all pull it out and hit a hundred boards first, so that they don't blame each other and not tell the truth." ”
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Si Yue to speak, Empress Dowager Lan nodded and said, "This move is very good, the queen is strict in managing things, so that the minions below will not dare to act recklessly, and there will be evil slaves and bullying masters." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Chang Fugui and ordered, "But Concubine Xian is still in production, and you dragged these people out of the Fuliu Palace to fight, so as not to disturb Concubine Kexian and the child in her womb." ”
Chang Fugui never thought that Empress Dowager Lan would intervene at this time, if these people were dragged out to play a hundred boards, I was afraid that everything that had been painstakingly managed before would be in vain. Therefore, he didn't look at those who shouted wronged, but just looked up at Si Yue and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that seeing blood at this time will rush the joy of the virtuous concubine, and it will not be good for the mother and son......"
Si Yue showed a satisfied smile and said, "The second princess is full moon, and the virtuous concubine is giving birth again, today can be said to be a double happiness, and it is really not appropriate to use 'torture'." ”
He deliberately accentuated the tone of the word torture, and looked at Zhou Shuxian and Empress Dowager Lan's faces tightened, and then pursed his lips.
The matter seemed to have been settled, and the Empress Dowager Zhao spoke faintly, "This palace remembered some past events, and the matter of the Nine Princes seemed to be that they first killed the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting, and then blamed all the charges on Imperial Doctor Chen...... How similar it is today......"
Empress Dowager Lan, who originally wanted to say something for the queen, swallowed her words back, her face was ugly, just like Zhou Shuxian.
Si Yue waved his hand a little impatiently, "Let them kneel here first and think about it, if Concubine Xian successfully gives birth to the imperial heir, as long as they explain honestly, they will leave a life." ”
Seeing him speak, Chang Fugui immediately responded, commanded people to move the rattan with thought and put it under the legs of those people, then stepped aside, changed a cup of tea for Si Yue, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged." ”
Si Yue bowed his head quietly, and his eyes were in the direction of the delivery room.
"Ah——!h
At this moment, there was a sudden irrepressible cry of pain inside, which made the hearts of everyone present tighten.
"Don't scream, save your strength...... After a while, it's time to exert yourself. Mama Wu's voice came faintly, and then Lin Su's weak voice, "It hurts...... Mama, this is the second child......"
"Mother, just get through......"
In the room, Lin Su looked at Mama Lin with sweat, and felt the pain in her lower body coming for a while, and the whole person seemed to be torn apart. She clutched the sheets with both hands, and the joints were pale to bluish. After hesitating for a while, Lin Su finally opened his mouth and shouted......
"Your Majesty...... The emperor ......" her voice was crying, "The concubine hurts...... I really hurt ......."
Chunyan and Qiuyan, who were helping her wipe her forehead, whispered, "Niangniang......" and couldn't speak anymore.
And Si Yue, who was outside, suddenly stood up when he heard Lin Su's shout, and took two steps in the direction of the delivery room, before being stopped by Empress Dowager Zhao.
"Emperor, the delivery room has always been a dirty and filthy place, don't say that the emperor is a golden body, even if it is an ordinary man, he will not enter it." Empress Dowager Zhao walked to Si Yue's side as she spoke, "If the emperor is not at ease, it is better to go in the palace and have a look......" She said and glanced at the palace maid and eunuch who were still kneeling in the room, and then said: "It is better for the emperor to be the abbot here." ”
Si Yue took a deep breath, "There are Mama Wu and Mama Lin inside, along with the midwife, the queen mother is still sitting here." As he spoke, he turned around and helped Empress Dowager Zhao back to her position, looked in the direction of the delivery room again, and heard Lin Su's small moans and moans inside, her brows furrowed more and more, and finally the unkind gaze fell on the person kneeling in the room.
Zhou Shuxian's sleeve hand clenched with every sound in the delivery room, and when she heard the midwife inside surprise that the child could already see her head, she almost stood up.
But one guy actually stood up.
Si Yue stood up, he glanced back at Empress Dowager Zhao and Empress Dowager Lan, and then said, "I won't go in, don't worry about the queen mother." As he spoke, he walked over to Feng Jing and listened to the sound through the thick curtain.
"Su'er, hold on. I believe you will be able to give birth to our second child for me! Si Yue's voice was steady and powerful, and Lin Su, who had forgotten all the expected things in pain in the delivery room, regained his clarity in an instant. She took a deep breath before she said, "Your Majesty...... Emperor...... I will definitely give birth to a child for the emperor......"
Her intermittent answer seemed to really calm Si Yue's heart, Si Yue took a deep breath, and then returned to his seat and waited quietly.
The tea had already been changed many times, and Xia He came in with a new pot of Lu'an melon slices, and Xia Lian and Chunque behind him were holding snacks.
"Queen Mother, Emperor, Queen, it's already dark, let's eat something first." She smiled and changed cups and refreshments for everyone, and then stepped aside.
Si Yue drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and then looked at the delivery room. The voices inside became more and more noisy, and Mama Wu's voice didn't pass through the curtain for everyone to hear.
Await...... Si Yue reminded himself to be patient......
Finally......
"Wow......" A crisp cry rushed into the delivery room, and the figure of Mama Wu appeared in front of everyone, "Congratulations to all masters, Concubine Xian Niangniang gave birth to a prince, mother and son are safe!" ”
