Chapter 101: The Birth of the Prince
Soon, Yun Yao followed the woman towards the inner hall. And before entering the inner hall, Yun Yao heard the words of the Queen Mother - save the child at all costs!
In other words, the child is the most important thing, even if it sacrifices Mrs. Han's life, it doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, Yun Yao only felt a desolation in her heart. In the hearts of the royal family, women are always just tools for giving birth to children, not worthy of any respect, between children and mothers, they always choose children.
Yun Yao entered the inner hall, but saw several mothers-in-law standing beside the bed, beating Mrs. Han's legs hard, and Mrs. Han's face was pale, and she was covered with sweat, because the pain was unbearable, so she had already screamed hoarsely.
But even so, the child was not born.
It seems that this woman didn't tell any lies, probably they really couldn't figure it out, so they asked for a doctor.
Just thinking about it, the mother-in-law who went out to ask her to open her mouth and whispered: "Miss Yun Yao, come here, Mrs. Han is dying!"
When Yun Yao heard this, she hurriedly ran over, took out her silver needle, slowly untied Mrs. Han's coat, and then began to cross the acupoint with the silver needle. In many cases, acupuncture helps to build up the qi so that Mrs. Han can continue to hold on.
"Do you have a ginseng piece? Give Mrs. Han a tablet, ginseng has the effect of strengthening the yuan and lifting qi, and it is most needed at this time. Yun Yao calmly commanded.
Honglian, who was waiting on the side, immediately took a piece of ginseng and stuffed it into Mrs. Han's mouth, letting Mrs. Han bite it hard. Coupled with Yun Yao's acupuncture technique, Mrs. Han's whole person was much more comfortable, and she seemed to rest for a while, and then she gave birth to the child with all her strength.
Immediately afterwards, a baby's cry resounded throughout the entire inner hall, as if it was about to break through the sky, which made the Empress Dowager Jiang outside excited.
The next moment, a midwife came out of it and said to the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager Qi, Mrs. Han gave birth, she is a little prince!"
"Gave birth...... Finally gave birth to ......" Empress Dowager Jiang heard the sound of the baby crying, and heard that it was a little prince, so she said excitedly, quickly got up, and seemed to be going to the inner hall to see what the situation was.
But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Wushuang. After all, the inner hall is still full of blood, which is very unlucky, and I am afraid that it will collide with the noble body of the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother will hold back her eagerness and continue to wait.
In the inner hall, Mrs. Han felt the child leave her body and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but before this breath was finished, she heard Honglian exclaim: "Madam, there is a lot of blood-"
The mothers-in-law hurriedly looked towards the bed, but saw that Mrs. Han's lower body really shed a lot of blood, and it was surging, and there was no momentum to stop at all.
"Postpartum hemorrhage is a taboo for pregnant women. Yun Yao said in horror, "Take someone to tell the Queen Mother quickly, and then send someone to the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, and I will use a silver needle to renew her life first!"
With Yun Yao's orders, everyone quickly got busy.
Yun Yao had never experienced such a scene, it was the first time to help someone deliver a baby, and she was also very nervous, but she tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, because she knew that giving birth to a child was very dangerous, and the slightest mistake would kill her.
The Queen Mother outside was also very nervous when she learned that Mrs. Han was bleeding, but the child had been born, and she was not as anxious as before. However, she still instructed the Imperial Doctor to act quickly and boil medicine for Mrs. Han.
The imperial doctor had already considered all the possibilities before Mrs. Han gave birth, so he had already prepared the relevant medicinal materials, put them in a jar, and slowly boiled them over a simmer.
Now that the Queen Mother gave an order, Imperial Physician Ye immediately sped up and boiled medicinal materials to stop blood and replenish blood, so that Mrs. Han could recover a little.
After a while, the medicine came, and when she was about to bring it to the inner hall for Mrs. Han to take, the Queen Mother suddenly stopped her, and then asked, "Imperial Doctor Ye, there is nothing wrong with this medicine, right?"
Everyone listened to the Queen Mother's words, and at the same time was stunned, looking at the medicine bowl in Imperial Doctor Ye's hand, with a look of surprise in their eyes.
"The Empress Dowager Qi, this medicine was prescribed by several imperial doctors at the same time, and the boiling medicine was also stared at by several imperial doctors of the Imperial Physician Department, if the Queen Mother has any worries, you can ask other imperial doctors to come and see. Imperial Physician Ye arched his hand and said.
In fact, Imperial Physician Ye knew in his heart that it was not that the Queen Mother was suspicious of him, but that the methods in this palace were nothing more than that. Now that Mrs. Han has given birth smoothly, there must be more opportunities for mothers and children to be expensive from now on, and it is normal for some people to not want Mrs. Han to continue to live, so it is very likely to do something in these medicines.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly, thinking that if Imperial Physician Ye brought the medicine bowl in front of so many people, there would definitely be no problem, otherwise the first one would not be able to get out of it, so she let him in.
However, Imperial Physician Ye did not enter the inner hall completely, but just handed the medicine bowl in at the door, and a mother-in-law in the inner hall saw this, so she took the medicine bowl and handed it to Yun Yao, who was looking at her. The action time of this one after another was very short, Yun Yao took the medicine bowl, and asked several other midwives to support Mrs. Han, and then personally fed Mrs. Han with medicine.
Just when Yun Yao was feeding the medicine, the mother-in-law had already cleaned the blood stains on the little prince's body and wrapped it in swaddling clothes that had been prepared a long time ago. The swaddling clothes are made of high-quality pregnant silk brocade, which is soft and comfortable, and is most suitable for the baby's skin.
Then, the midwife walked out with the child in her arms, stood in front of the Queen Mother and Shen Che, and bowed slightly: "Queen Mother, Your Highness, the little prince is here." ”
Shen Che didn't say a word during the whole process, and he looked a little uneasy from beginning to end, but when he saw the little baby in the midwife's arms, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He involuntarily got up and walked towards the midwife, but his eyes were fixed on the child in her arms.
Walking in front of the midwife, Shen Che stretched out his hand and slowly held the child in his arms, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile is different from his tenderness towards Lu Yingquan in the past, it is completely a father's joy to see his child.
Maybe when Mrs. Han was pregnant, or even before giving birth, Shen Che didn't have such a feeling, but when he saw the child, a nature that blood was thicker than water made his heart suddenly become very soft, and he felt curious about life, with an indescribable feeling for this long-brewing but sudden child.
Lu Yingquan looked at Shen Che's expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that her body hadn't been well recuperated, she would have been fond of Shen Che's love for her, but I was afraid that she should also have children.
Now looking at Shen Che's love for this child, she really understands what is the flesh and blood affection.
The joy of the outer sanctuary did not last long, and was soon interrupted by a panicked exclamation from the inner sanctum: "Madame, what's wrong with you—"
When the Queen Mother heard this voice, she quickly turned around and instructed Wushuang: "Wushuang, go and see, what happened?"
Wushuang took the order and walked to the inner hall in a hurry, but the moment he entered, he saw a large amount of blood spit out of Han's mouth, and the blood was black, and at first glance, he knew that he had been poisoned.
Honglian was holding Mrs. Han by her side, her eyes still with tears in her eyes, and she looked panicked, as if she didn't know what was going on.
"What the hell is going on?" Wushuang asked, walking over to the bed.
"Auntie, Madame was only bleeding heavily from her lower body at first, but after taking the medicine sent by Imperial Doctor Ye, she began to spit out this black blood, and I don't know what happened!" Honglian cried and said, "Aunt Wushuang, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Wushuang turned his head to look at Yun Yao, but saw that Yun Yao was taking Mrs. Han's pulse, her face was solemn, and her brows were furrowed.
After waiting for a while, Yun Yao spoke, but what she said was shocking: "Mrs. Han is poisoned!
"How could it be?" "Madame, how could she be poisoned?" Honglian couldn't believe it at all, "Madame has suffered so much in order to give birth to a little prince, who still wants to do this to her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out of Mrs. Han's mouth again, and then she rolled her eyes, and she completely lost her breath, not even half a last word.
Wushuang witnessed Mrs. Han's death with his own eyes, and turned his head to look at the busy midwives around him, there were only Honglian and Yun Yao beside the bedside, and he couldn't tell how this poison came from.
"You let Mrs. Han lie down, and go out with me to pay homage to the Empress Dowager. Wushuang commanded, and then led everyone out, including which midwives.
Walking out of the inner hall, Wushuang took a deep breath and walked to the side of the Queen Mother to explain the matter, and the people led by Yun Yao and Honglian knelt in the hall, waiting for the Queen Mother's orders.
"Queen Mother, Mrs. Han is gone, according to Yun Yao's diagnosis, she was poisoned by Heding Red. Wushuang's voice was not loud or small, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
Lu Yingquan was stunned, and subconsciously felt that all this might have been done by Jiang Yi in order to design Yun Yao.
The child, who had just been born not long ago, seemed to understand Wushuang's words, and knew that his mother had died in the inner temple separated by a wall, so he restrained his smile and cried out.
The loud cry disturbed everyone, and even scared Shen Che who was holding him. The Queen Mother hurriedly instructed the nurse to take the child down, then sat upright, turned her head and asked:
"What's going on?"
"The slave went in late, and I don't know what happened, so let's let Yun Yao talk about it. Wushuang replied, then looked at Yun Yao and asked her to tell her what had happened.
Yun Yao still hasn't figured out how Mrs. Han was poisoned, and she doesn't even know the true intentions of this poisoner-could it be that she can blame her while killing Mrs. Han?
But no matter what, the most important thing is not to mess around now. She didn't expect that Mrs. Han's belly had been safe for nine months, but after giving birth to a child, her soul returned to the Western Realm.
Yun Yao told the matter from beginning to end, because there was a red lotus in the inner hall at that time, and there were several other mothers-in-law, so Yun Yao's words could be proved by many people, and they were not afraid that she would lie.
The Queen Mother listened to the whole story, and then asked, "You mean, there is something wrong with the bowl of medicine sent by Imperial Doctor Ye?"
"The slave is not sure, everything needs to be checked before making a conclusion. In line with the principle of seeking truth from facts, Yun Yao did not arbitrarily deduct the charges from others, but only said so.
