"If you can give birth smoothly, the mother has given birth twice, as long as the fetal position is correct, I don't think there will be too much danger. At present, the most feared thing is that the fetus is stillborn, and the fetus's weakness will all be reflected on the mother's body, and the minister is terrified...... "The imperial doctor curts, "Please forgive the queen mother and the emperor, the worst case, if the fetus is stillborn, the life of Concubine De will also be threatened." ”

The Empress Dowager regretted again and again: "I should have listened to you and let her fall for this child, it was too extravagant for me." ”

"Grandmother Huang, don't blame yourself, if Lan Qi knows, she will be even more sad." Xuan Ye's face was also gloomy, and he coldly instructed the imperial doctor, "Take care of Concubine De, this matter should not be publicized to the public." ”

The imperial doctor kowtowed and said yes, and heard the empress dowager ask: "Is there any way to protect Concubine De?" ”

"The Empress Dowager, if you induce labor in advance, let the mother give birth to the child as soon as possible, it is the best thing for the mother herself, but the child will be harmed, and there is a possibility of premature death at term, not to mention less than a month." The imperial physician said cautiously, "And inducing labor is a royal taboo, lest there be concubines who will do anything in the blood of the imperial heir, except for natural premature birth, labor must not be induced." ”

The Empress Dowager hated: "When did you come to tell me about the royal taboo?" ”

Xuan Ye asked Lan Qi when it should be to give birth at term, and the imperial doctor should be in late June, saying that if you don't care about the child now, inducing labor is the best time to save Concubine De herself, but the fetus is almost equivalent to giving up.

"Arrange labor induction for Concubine De at the right time, don't tell her that she is giving up the child, just say that it is for the safety of the mother and child." The Empress Dowager immediately made a decision, and said to Xuan Ye, "If the child dies young, she will be sad, you can comfort her more, Concubine Rong and they all came over like this, not that the woman who is the emperor must have this bearing, in ordinary people's families, it is also common for children to die young, this is the value of children and grandchildren." ”

Xuan Ye had no objections, and thought about how to appease Lan Qi in the future, but after all, he felt pain in his skin, Lan Qi worked hard for so long, but in the end she couldn't keep the child for her, muttering to herself: "If you can't see it, it's okay, it's even more sad to die after birth." ”

For all this, Lan Qi didn't know, she could feel the increasing heaviness of her body, not as if she had the spirit to talk and laugh with the nobles in the past few months, she was lazy and moved all day long, and her appetite was getting worse day by day, this day she touched her stomach and said to Huanchun: "Why do I think, this child is not moving much, is she asleep again?" ”

Although Huanchun himself has no experience in childbirth, he has served Lan Qi twice, and he has listened to a lot of the words of the imperial doctor, and he can probably guess that the master's fetus is not very good, but he does not dare to say the unlucky words, and tries his best to take care of her, and suddenly listens to what the master says, and he doesn't know how to respond.

Lan Qi saw that Huanchun was nervous, and she smiled instead: "So I said that she is a girl, how lively Yinzhen Yinzuo is when she is in her stomach, this child has always been very quiet, and she must be a well-behaved and sensible little princess in the future, you see how naughty Duanjing is, when she is in the belly of the noble person, she is very able to toss." ”

Huanchun felt sad for no reason, in fact, the master was so optimistic, she should be happy, but she always felt unsteady, without the excitement and joy of the birth of the fourth elder brother and the sixth elder brother before.

"Huanchun." Lan Qi called her suddenly.

Huanchun was stunned, leaned up and asked, "What does Niangniang want?" ”

Lan Qi held her hand and said: "There are some things that the doctor doesn't say, I also know it in my heart, my body knows best, if there is anything wrong with this child, even if I am sad, I have to think about the Queen Mother and the Emperor, so I won't cry in front of people, don't worry about me being suffocated, when there is no one, you just let me lean on." ”

Huanchun was already teary-eyed when she heard it, and tried to smile and said, "How can Niang Niang say such a thing, the little princess will definitely be safe." ”

Lan Qi also laughed, but tears fell as soon as she smiled, and she gently protected her bulging belly with one hand, and blamed Huanchun: "Don't coax me, it's enough for the emperor and the empress dowager to coax me, you all coax me, make me feel that I'm okay, and then I will be even more sad, now think about the rest clearly, I won't be afraid." ”

Huan Chun wiped her tears with a handkerchief, Lan Qi wiped it off when she raised her hand, took a deep breath and encouraged herself and said, "I have given birth to two sons, what are you afraid of?" ”

However, even if the emperor told the hospital not to leak the news, there has never been any secrets in the Forbidden City, and it is difficult to ensure that the news is not revealed when there are many people who handle it, and Concubine Yi heard a few words a few days ago, and everyone has looked at it coldly in the past few days, Concubine De is getting weaker and weaker, and they are all women who have given birth, and it is not difficult to guess the result.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of June, the royal garden was already covered with green lotus water, the hibiscus was covered with red and fresh light, and the slim lotus flowers were in full bloom, as if they were ready to welcome the arrival of a princess.

For the Qing court, the existence of the Zheng dynasty is equivalent to the remnants of the former Ming Dynasty, and the remnants have not been eliminated.

Last year, Zheng Jing died violently, and the ministers Feng Xifan and others made a rebellion, using the rumor that "the prison country is not the true blood of the vassal lord", and conspired with Zheng Jing's brother Zheng Cong and others to take back the seal of Zheng Kezang and kill him, and supported Zheng Kexuan, who was only 12 years old, to inherit the throne of Yanping. The young master Chong Ling, assisted by Zheng Cong, but Zheng Cong was greedy and cowardly, everything was decided by Feng Xifan and others, and the politics of Taiwan fell into unprecedented chaos.

Therefore, Xuan Ye issued an edict, saying that Zheng Jing was both subdued and punished, and the thieves would be obedient and disturbed, and it was advisable to take the opportunity to stipulate Penghu and Taiwan. On the other hand, Li Guangdi, a member of the Cabinet University, and Yao Qisheng, the governor of Fujian, strongly recommended Shi Lang, believing that he was a feud of the Zheng family, and that his heart could be guaranteed, and he was familiar with the situation at sea and had a strategy. Xuan Ye then used Shi Lang again last year as the commander-in-chief of the Fujian Navy Division, and added the prince Shaobao to Fujian as the commander of the attack.

After years of preparation, now is the best time to attack Tai, Xuan Ye is wholeheartedly concerned about this matter, if it is in previous years, he will inevitably enter the harem less, not close to women, but Lan Qi is about to give birth, it is always his worry.

On this day, the hospital reported urgently, saying that Concubine De Niangniang had respiratory disorders, if she did not induce labor immediately, she was afraid that both mother and child would die, but the emperor discussed with the ministers in the Qianqing Palace about attacking Taiwan.

Lan Qi felt uncomfortable when she got up in the morning, her chest was depressed and she needed to breathe heavily, the Internal Affairs Office sent a lot of ice cubes to cool down the dormitory, the pregnant woman was still hot and unbearable, she felt very bad, and sure enough, at this moment, the doctor Wen Po had all the manpower needed to give birth to the concubine, Lan Qi felt that her body had no intention of giving birth, and the doctor told her frankly: "In order to keep the mother and child safe, the minister wants to induce labor for Concubine De." ”

Lan Qi was very weak, and she was still worried: "Inducing labor is a taboo in the palace, and the imperial doctor cannot decide without authorization." ”

The imperial doctor smiled bitterly: "Niangniang is worried, the minister is naturally coming with the order, Niangniang should not be tempted again, it will be very hard later, please save your strength." ”

"Then there's Dr. Lao." This was the last sentence Lan Qi said when she was awake, and then under the stimulation of decoction and moxibustion, she was almost delirious due to strong contractions, but just like when she gave birth to two princes, she fought the pain with her weak body and did not say a word.

And the imperial doctor just said to Concubine De that the induced labor was to ensure the safety of the mother and child, and when he turned around, he instructed the midwife: "The Empress Dowager has a will, at a critical moment, there is no need to tolerate the safety of the fetus, and on the premise of not damaging the phoenix body of the mother, help the mother and the fetus to give birth as soon as possible, if the fetus dies, you and I will not be held accountable." ”

At this moment, the mother has been in pain and has no strength, and even once sullen and fainted, sure enough, as the doctor said, if the labor is induced to give birth half a day later, Concubine De is very likely to be pregnant with the child and go like that, fortunately under the skillful technique of the midwife, the re-awake Concubine De finally tried her best to give birth, the moment the child separated from the mother's body, her complexion eased, but her physical strength was exhausted, and she couldn't wait to hear a baby cry, and fainted.

Huanchun a few people guarded outside the door of the delivery room, praying to God and worshiping the Buddha, they had never seen the master in such a dangerous situation, all of them were like vegetables, and they were waiting for the impatient moment, they heard the faint baby crying inside, everyone looked at each other, they were all ready, the child was difficult to protect.

Someone came out in a panic, with a tangled expression on his face, he couldn't see joy or sorrow, but just panted and said: "Go and tell me, Concubine De Niangniang gave birth to a little princess, and Niangniang is safe." ”

Just the mother is safe? Huanchun was stunned in place, she liked to listen to the words "mother and child are safe", but the people who came out did not mention the child, obviously I heard the baby crying just now, why didn't she say that the mother and child were safe, Huanchun pounced on her and asked: "How is the little princess?" ”

The man just shook his head and urged, "Go and tell me, my mother is safe." ”

If so, such news spread throughout the Sixth Palace, and when the Empress Dowager heard in the Big Buddha Hall that Lan Qi was safe, she burst into tears, and choked up with Su Mala: "This time she is fine, don't let her serve me all day long, I have relied on her all these years, but I don't know how hard she has to support things here, let her take care of herself in the future, if she is not in good health, how can I deliver Xuan Ye to her." ”

In previous years, Su Mala's grandmother accompanied Lan Qi, this time because she knew that Concubine De was not good, and she was afraid that the Empress Dowager would hurt herself in a hurry, so Xuan Ye asked her to accompany her grandmother not to leave, at this moment she was full of comfort, but listening to the master's words, she couldn't help but be sad in the twilight, and she also burst into tears and said: "The master doesn't have to worry about this, Niangniang, she has always been the most measured, she loves you so much, you don't let her serve in front of you, it's the thing that makes her sad." You see that she has survived such a catastrophe of life and death, and she must be blessed by God, just like the master, when you were born as the first emperor, you died nine times a life, and the slave thought that you were going to go like that, but you not only survived, but also survived the Qing Dynasty. ”

The Empress Dowager nodded tearfully: "That's the truth." While saying that she was fine, she asked Mama Su Mala to hurry up and take a look at Lan Qi.

Mama hurried to Yonghe Palace, and the imperial doctor said when she saw it: "The princess is very weak, and the ministers can't be treated with medicine. ”

"In that case, don't say it to Concubine De for the time being." Mama was determined to be calm and steadily came to the temple.

A lot of ice was used in the dormitory, and Mama felt cold as soon as she entered the door, and the person on the bed seemed to be conscious, so she hurried to her side, but when she saw Lan Qi slowly opening her eyes, and seeing that Mama was in front of her, she smiled slightly, and asked weakly: "Mama, where is the child?" ”
