Chapter 439: Concubine Ling has a difficult birth
Since that day, the relationship between Yuehua and the Queen Mother has become harmonious, and they move around often, and Rui'er and Hui'er have also become fragrant and sweet in the Qingqiu Palace and Ruian Palace.
The Queen Mother lost the battle for the ownership of her son, and put all her energy and love on her two children.
The next generation is not imaginary, it is real, even spoiled. What's more, the Queen Mother has been looking forward to it for so many years.
For all the affairs of the harem, the Queen Mother had no time to take care of it at all, and completely became the shopkeeper, all of which were pushed to Yuehua. I am like a busy spinning top, circling around the two children, and I am full of energy.
At night, the Queen Mother couldn't give up Rui'er and Hui'er, and left them in front of her and didn't let go, or she and Yuehua were one by one, and they all had a companion to relieve boredom.
The two children slept soundly at night, and no longer spent the night making noise and not sleeping as often as before. It's that Yuehua will feel empty and extremely unaccustomed.
Although the Queen Mother is as cautious as her, unwilling to fake her hands and guard the two children inseparably, Yuehua is lost, especially when Rui'er is getting closer and closer to the Queen Mother and no longer relying on her so much, she feels as if she has lost the most important thing, and her heart is empty.
Perhaps, this is a potential reason why the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult to get along with since ancient times.
Yuehua jokingly expressed her jealousy, and the Queen Mother teased her with her eyebrows: "Give Hui'er and Rui'er to the mourning family, you and the emperor will hurry up and have two more, so that the palace will be more lively." ”
Yuehua suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
To be honest, now there are fewer rights and wrongs in the palace, there is no intrigue, and there is some quietness.
She and Mo Guhan have investigated the palace people in the palace again, but everyone who has anything to do with Gonggong Lin will be strictly investigated, and the palace is very noisy, and it has been tense for a while.
Now that there are fewer masters on the left and right, many servants are idle, and the entire palace looks bloated. Coupled with the fact that the remnants of the Blood Hall are still there, danger has been lurking all the time. Mo Guhan and Yuehua discussed and decided to cut some palace people, leaving only those who are innocent and diligent, and those who have a way out or rely on others will be sent back with some silver taels, and those who have no way out will be sent to the royal farm to work.
When the personnel are simpler, there will be fewer miscellaneous things. Even Wynne looked like he was about to disappear.
Concubine Ling took all the sins herself, and Yuehua felt a little guilty about misunderstanding Huaien. Thinking about finding a time in the day, talking about the previous things, whether it was right or wrong, solving the doubts, and the two of them can get along calmly.
Huai En also seemed to be sensitively aware of Yuehua's suspicion of her, so she had been staying at home in the Guan Gu Palace, and rarely took the initiative to come to the Qingqiu Palace again. When the two met, although they still talked and laughed, they invariably had a trace of embarrassment and estrangement, which was not as seamless as before.
Originally, even if there was silence, the air surging between the two was alive. Now, the inadvertent pause of words is a momentary blankness, and everything is frozen.
Many of Yuehua's unspoken words also came to an abrupt end and could not be spoken.
What broke the silence in the palace again was the news of Concubine Ling's birth. A little earlier than budgeted.
Although Concubine Ling was beaten into the four institutes of Qianxi, the queen mother did not treat her badly on weekdays, and she was particularly gracious. She also has an elderly mother-in-law by her side to serve her, and it is not so difficult.
Although the scenery was infinite at the beginning, but after all, she was just an outdated master, plus she has always been used to being arrogant, and she has never been humble to the people below, this woman gradually has an opinion, and she is sure of her neglect.
Her labor pains began in the afternoon, intermittently, and not very badly, so the mother-in-law did not report it.
But until the middle of the night, I began to feel unbearable pain, screaming and screaming, and screaming a little miserable. The mother-in-law began to panic, but after weighing it, she didn't dare to alarm the master in the middle of the night.
Although she didn't know that this concubine was pregnant with a bad seed, she understood that this child was not to be treated by the emperor and the queen mother. Because for such a long time, the emperor has never asked.
She is also experienced in giving birth to children, and she stayed in front of Concubine Ling, and said angrily: "If you have a big life, you will give birth to the child in peace." Otherwise, I can only go back to the Queen Mother at dawn tomorrow. ”
Concubine Ling was in pain, struggling to come back to life.
The mother-in-law was full of impatience: "If you give birth to a child, your mother-in-law has seen a lot, who gives birth to a child is not a ghost who closes the door and walks around, and it hurts half to death." Not to mention that it is not easy to be a mother. But no one is as squeamish as you. ”
She babbled and said, she still didn't pay attention to it, she just regarded it as Concubine Ling's delicate flesh, and she couldn't help the pain.
When the sky was dark, Concubine Ling had already died and fainted twice, and everyone was dying, but the child still did not move.
The mother-in-law yawned, opened the list, and was shocked.
There was a lot of blood on the bed, and it was shocking.
At this time, she realized that the situation was serious, and she hurriedly ran to knock on the door and shouted: "Concubine Ling has a difficult birth, I'm afraid it won't work, hurry up and report to the Queen Mother!" ”
The mother-in-law is sluggish, and the person who guards the cold palace will not take Concubine Ling in his eyes, and he is quite impatient when he is quarreled.
The mother-in-law was afraid that she would be involved when it was too late, so she urged in a panic: "It's true, Concubine Ling will not be able to do it soon, hurry up and report it to the Queen Mother." ”
As soon as the guards summed up, this was a human life, so it was better to report it.
Immediately, someone rushed to the Ruian Palace, knocked on the door with a "knock", and returned the news to the palace people on night duty in the Ruian Palace.
When the Queen Mother was sleeping lightly, and the palace people were still thinking about whether to disturb the Queen Mother's sleep, the Queen Mother had lowered her voice unhappily and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
The palace people whispered back: "The Empress Dowager Qi, there was a word from the four institutes of Qianxi, saying that the concubine was having a difficult birth, and I am afraid that it is about to die." ”
The Queen Mother suddenly felt frightened, and she was startled: "What! ”
The palace man repeated the words again in a whisper.
"Isn't it a day yet?" The Queen Mother got up in a panic and dressed, and the palace people on duty at night turned on the lights and busily took their shoes to serve.
"Don't worry about the mourning family here, hurry up and call the mother-in-law who knows how to deliver babies in the palace to the four institutes in Qianxi."
The palace people went in a panic.
Today, Rui'er happened to be here with the Queen Mother, and she still slept soundly. The Queen Mother called in Rongfu again: "You personally go to Qingqiu Palace and hand over Rui'er to the queen." Remember, be lighter and don't scare your child coldly. ”
Her own legs trembled a little, and with the support of the palace people, she stumbled to the Qianxi Fourth Institute.
Rong Fu called the sleeping Rui'er all the way to Qingqiu Palace, and the palace people in Qingqiu Palace had already gotten up and started to sweep, waiting for Mo Guhan to go to the morning court.
Yuehua was shocked when she saw that Rongfu had sent Rui'er back so early, and after asking what had happened, she was a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty, will the concubine go to the four institutes of Qianxi to see Concubine Ling?" She asked for Mo Guhan's opinion.
Mo Guhan had already put on the dragon robe: "Is this necessary?" ”
"The queen mother is alone, what is the matter, and multiple people have one more idea, right?"
Mo Guhan nodded "um": "I went to the court, if there is something wrong, I will personally inform me." ”
Yuehua didn't dare to delay, she didn't care about freshening up, so she ordered Shui You and Yushu to take care of the two children, and took Tan Ruo straight to the cold palace.
The door of the cold palace was wide open, and the midwife had already rushed over, going in and out, nervous.
The Queen Mother was guarding the door, so nervous that she stomped her feet, and when she saw Yuehua, she grabbed her hand: "How is this good?" ”
"What's wrong with Concubine Ling?" Yuehua poked the probe inside and asked out loud.
The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said: "Ling'er, she has been in labor since yesterday, and this serving mother-in-law is neglectful, so she doesn't take it to heart at all." Last night, I had a night of pain, but the fetal position was not correct, dystocia and bleeding, and finally I was in a coma. The midwife asked me at the right time, at a critical juncture, is it to protect the adult or the child? ”
"Of course it's Bao-sama." Yuehua said without thinking.
The Queen Mother's hand trembled slightly, and she burst into tears: "I said the same thing, but, but, the mother-in-law said that it was a little difficult, she was bleeding too much, and she couldn't stop it at all!" ”
As the Queen Mother spoke, tears fell down again.
Yuehua understands the queen mother's feelings, Concubine Ling is her niece, and she treats her as her own daughter. Although Concubine Ling did make a lot of mistakes, but the child will always have a place in the hearts of adults, how can it not hurt?
She comforted softly: "Queen Mother, don't worry, Concubine Ling is a good person, and she will definitely be fine." The midwives in the palace are all good means, and I was not in danger at that time? ”
The Queen Mother covered her mouth tightly, holding back her strength not to cry.
A mother-in-law ran out in a panic, anxious, as if she had scalded her buttocks: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother, announce a doctor to come in, Concubine Ling, she passed out again, and she couldn't lift her energy after pouring a bowl of ginseng soup, so it would be terrible to go on like this, and the child would be suffocated and stillborn." ”
Although the door of the Forbidden City has been opened now, the imperial doctor has not yet entered the palace, and the young imperial doctor who has been on duty at night has long been summoned to prescribe medicine to stop bleeding, but it can't help much in terms of production.
The queen mother cares about chaos, the six gods have no owner, Yuehua has seen that the situation is not good, and ordered someone to go out of the palace to pass the imperial doctor, but the far water does not quench the thirst of the near, and for a while, I am afraid that I will not be able to arrive in time.
Yuehua turned to Tan Ruo and said, "You go and take a look and do your best." ”
Tan Ruo responded, trotted in, and after a long time, he heard Concubine Ling wake up slowly, painfully again*, intermittently, and obviously out of strength.
The Queen Mother held Yuehua's hand tightly, and she didn't even know that her nails were embedded in the back of Yuehua's hand.
Yuehua saw that her feet were weak and weak, and her body trembled nervously, so she hurriedly ordered someone to move Jindun, helped her sit down, and patiently comforted her.
