The imperial doctors were sweating profusely, and when they turned around and saw Chang Qing, they hurriedly came over to salute, Chang Qing only asked, "How is the concubine Niangniang now?" ”

"This—"

A few imperial doctors, you look at me, I look at you, they don't dare to speak lightly, originally they can only help diagnose this kind of thing outside the house, and if they really ask about the situation inside, they naturally don't know.

There was silence outside, but the screams inside were louder than one, but it seemed that he could feel the tearing pain when he heard it, although Chang Qing had been faint, he also frowned at this time, and seemed a little uneasy; And my palms are already full of cold sweat.

This kind of pain is something that only a woman can understand.

I've experienced it twice, the first time it hurt more than this one, it was given to me by the woman who was screaming inside, and now her pain seems to be like a reincarnation, re-enacting that bloody and cold night, every scene.

Feeling me tremble slightly, even Chang Qing couldn't help but glance back at me.

I just shook my head slightly at her gaze.

Chang Qing didn't say anything, but at this moment, there was a terrible scream from inside, accompanied by a panicked exclamation, and the sound of the utensils falling to the ground, it seemed that something was wrong, at this moment, the closed door was pushed open at once, and suddenly a strong smell of blood rushed towards him.

I saw a stable woman running out with a pale face, and when she saw Chang Qing, she hurriedly came over and knelt down: "Niangniang......

"What's wrong with the concubine?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine's fetus is a little unstable, I'm afraid it's-I'm afraid it is-"

"Make it clear!"

The Wen Po sweated like rain, and finally said: "I'm afraid that it is, it's not easy to protect." ”

"What do you mean by not being able to protect?"

"That's it...... It's ......" The Wen Po glanced at Chang Qing and said ruthlessly: "The concubine is bleeding profusely now, and the child is in the basin, but she can't give birth, and if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid something big will happen." The queen mother, slaves and maids deserve death, but they can only save one......"

Chang Qing's eyes widened slightly, looking up at the door, Shen Rou's scream of pain came from inside, she walked there, she just walked to the door and didn't enter the door, through a white veil in the center of the room, she saw Shen Rou struggling desperately on the bed.

She has always been soft and moving, even if she sneezes like a painting, but at this time, her temples are scattered, and the sweat soaks the whole person, as if she has just been fished out of the water, even if I am so far away, I can see a large area of blood red on the bed, and the other two stable women are still helping her deliver by the bedside, and several palace maids in Mingyue have already entered with hot water, and after a while, a few basins of blood water come out.

Chang Qing immediately turned around and walked down the steps, and said to Yugong fairly: "Go to the imperial study immediately, tell the emperor about the situation here, and let the emperor decide." ”

Father-in-law Yu glanced at her and agreed to retreat.

Chang Qing turned her head to the stable woman and said, "No matter what, the concubine can't make any mistakes, otherwise-"

The stable woman is also a clear person, and as soon as she heard the words, she immediately kowtowed and said, "The slave understands." After saying that, he turned his head again and hurriedly walked in.

Shen Rou's screams were louder and louder, I was standing outside, although I knew that this woman was just doing it to herself, but I was also a little panicked when I heard it, at this moment, Father-in-law Yu hurriedly ran back, saluted Chang Qing, and said: "The emperor said, it is important to keep the concubine!" ”

This time, it can be regarded as giving everyone a reassurance, and the faces of those stable women are a little lively, it seems that it is not easy to keep the child, but it is not difficult to keep the adult, and it is no wonder that they were all scared like that just now.

I have been standing behind Chang Qing, and I glanced at her at this time, without any expression, but I was relieved in my heart.

But at this moment, Shen Rou's voice suddenly came from inside: "No! No! I want a baby, I want my child! ”

There was a panic inside, and Wen Po seemed to say something, but Shen Rou immediately scolded angrily: "No! I want a baby! ”

This time Chang Qing and I were shocked, especially me, my heart sank a little, although I am not a doctor, but I also vaguely know her condition, it is difficult to give birth to this child, such a heavy hemorrhage, and then drag it on, I am afraid that it will really take two lives, but she still insists on having a child!

"I sue you!" Shen Rou's originally soft voice sounded indescribably cruel at this time, like the roar of an evil ghost: "If the children of this palace can't be born, you will all be buried together!" Even if Hongu dies, I will save my child! ”

My heart pounded.

Unexpectedly, she was so resolute, for the sake of her children, she could not even want her life!

The Wen Po inside didn't dare to speak anymore, it seemed that it had reached the most critical time, but she couldn't hear Shen Rou's screams, only a muffled snort that was heavier than the other, and the sound of her pulling the bed frame to a loud sound.

I stood in the doorway, and I felt my heart beating with her struggles.

Everyone's hearts rose to their throats, and even breathing stopped.

I don't know how long this suffocation lasted, but just when my heart was about to burst out of my chest, suddenly, I heard a tearing scream from Shen Rou, and then a baby's cry sounded, breaking the deadlock silence.

The child is born!

I spit out this breath at once, but I don't know what it feels like in my heart, but when I look at Chang Qing, her expression is also a little solemn, and after a while, several stable women opened the door and walked out, with a reborn joy on their faces, and happily saluted her: "Congratulations to the queen mother, congratulations to the queen mother." ”

"How?"

"The concubine was born to a prince!"

“……”

Both I and her breath suffocated.

Shen Rou really gave birth to a prince!

actually gave birth to a prince!

Now, the situation is a little more complicated......

My eyebrows frowned slightly unconsciously, and the feeling of suffocating as if I was about to drown just now came up again, but Chang Qing smiled calmly and said, "That's good, you have worked hard, go and get the reward." ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Chang Qing turned around and said, "Father-in-law Yu, you should go and receive this reward, and you will go to the imperial study." ”

Father-in-law Yu hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave will go to report the good news to the emperor." After saying that, he turned around and hurried away.

Chang Qing didn't look at me, so he pushed open the door and walked in directly, as soon as he opened the door, there was a strong smell of blood, but it seemed that he could still hear a soft voice crying, I stood at the door and didn't go in, through the layer of tulle, listening to the child's cry, I only felt as if my heart was pierced by a needle.

It wasn't fatal, but the needle stayed in the heart.

I didn't expect that Shen Rou really gave birth to a son; What I didn't expect was that she actually gave birth to the child under this circumstance.

Like Xu Youling at the beginning, he may have reached the brink of life and death, but for the sake of this child, he stubbornly chose to live.

But - what about me?

Why didn't my child be born, why didn't I keep my own child?

If at that time, I can not care about Pei Yuanhao as I am now, I don't care who he shouts in his mouth, and who he thinks in his heart, then can I not be so desperate, can I keep my child?

It turns out that Shen Rou said that I am the useless person, and I am the one who can't keep the child, which is true.

The wrong person was actually me!

I smiled faintly, turned around and wanted to walk away, but as soon as I turned around, I saw Pei Yuanhao walking over.

He kept his head down all the way, and it was only then that he raised his head and met my eyes at once.

The faint smile on my face had not had time to fade, and when I suddenly looked at him, both of them were stunned, the expression on his face was a little complicated, and I stood on the steps and looked at him, forgetting to speak for a while, and unable to speak.

The two of them just looked at each other silently.

At this time, a somewhat angry voice sounded: "Presumptuous, when you see the emperor, you dare not bow down!" ”

I was suddenly awakened by that voice, and when I looked at it, it was Shen Gongyi, who also followed Pei Yuanhao!

According to the rules of the inner palace, male dependents are not allowed to enter, and now Pei Yuanhao actually made an exception to let him follow up, it seems that it is also because he knows that Shen Rou gave birth to a son, so let the child's grandfather also come to see it, I hurriedly walked down the steps and knelt down and bowed: "The people's daughter greets the emperor, congratulations to the emperor for his joy." ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced at me and left without saying anything.

However, Shen Gongyi still didn't dare to follow, just standing at the foot of the steps, I felt those slippery eyes slipping past me, and after a while, I heard him say, "You are that Yue Qingying?" ”

"The folk girl visits Lord Taifu."

"Hehe, the old man can't stand your courtesy."

I glanced up at him, his emaciated face glowed red, naturally because Shen Rou had given birth to a son, and the overall situation had been decided, and the way he looked at me was like a cat looking at a mouse under its paws, playful and meaningless.

I smiled faintly.

I don't think there's anything strange about his attitude towards me, but Pei Yuanhao's expression just now is a little weird.

The birth of a concubine is a good thing for him, even if he doesn't want the Shen family's child, it shouldn't be like this, as if there is something wrong that makes him feel puzzled.

I don't know how long it took to hear the footsteps behind me, Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing walked out of it, their faces were full of joy, Chang Qing smiled and said, "The little prince is really cute." ”

Pei Yuanhao smiled and didn't speak.

As soon as Shen Gongyi saw him come out, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Pei Yuanhao immediately helped him up with a smile and said, "Tongxi, Tongxi." ”

The two met and smiled, Chang Qing stood aside and smiled, this picture is like a most harmonious family, warm and affectionate, but who can see the turbulent dark tide below?

When Chang Qing saw me, he said, "Qingying, go back to the palace, there are some things to prepare for the little prince." ”

"Yes."

I stood up and was about to leave with Chang Qing, but as soon as I turned around, I heard Shen Gongzhi say to Pei Yuanhao respectfully: "Your Majesty, just now the old minister played the matter of increasing taxes in the Jiangnan region, and I hope that the emperor will show me." ”
