CHAPTER XXIII

The next day, the news of Zhong Wanquan's inexplicable death in the prison reached the emperor's ears, and the emperor trembled with anger.

At this point, he lost an important clue.

If you want to find out the complex and corrupt relationship between the court and the court through Zhong Wanquan, and use this to bring down the queen mother, you can't do it after all.

But someone was in such a hurry to kill Zhong Wanquan, presumably Zhong Wanquan knew a lot about them.

At this time, the emperor's determination to rectify the dynasty was several times stronger than before.

Concubine Zhong learned that her father had died tragically in prison, and was supported by the palace maid to go to the imperial study to ask for a meeting, and asked the emperor to redress her grievances.

But the emperor sternly refused, and even exposed the evil things that Concubine Zhong had done in the palace over the years.

Concubine Zhong was ashamed for a while, and she vomited blood and died in the imperial study.

The emperor felt unlucky, and threw Concubine Zhong's body to a mass grave outside the city, removed Concubine Zhong's position, and removed her name from the palace.

In addition, Zhong Wanquan's matter has not yet been investigated, but since he is dead, all the innocent people in his house have been spared the disaster of life, and they have been sold by human teeth, and those who are slaves are slaves, and those who are maids are slaves.

……

At noon on the second day, news came out of the Baguio Palace, saying that Concubine Yun had seen red and was about to give birth.

The palace was busy because of this matter, and for a while they forgot that there was a person in the palace, Concubine Zhong.

This deep palace is indeed a place to eat people, and there are no bones or ashes.

The emperor and empress got the news and rushed to the Baguio Palace.

Since Concubine Yun's three fingers were not opened, the midwife and Pei Ling helped Concubine Yun to walk around, so as to prepare for the next smooth delivery.

In addition, Concubine Yun is a twin, and the production has become more cautious.

But Concubine Yun is a tolerant woman, even if her face is pale and cold sweat is flowing in pain, she doesn't say a word, and insists on gritting her teeth and walking around.

Seeing it in her eyes, she felt distressed in her heart, and whispered to her, "Why don't you take some medicine?" Look at you hurting too much. ”

Concubine Yun shook her head and refused: "This is just the beginning, it's not time yet." ”

The midwife instructed the small kitchen to make some soup that was easy to fill the stomach, so as to replenish the strength of Concubine Yun.

Although you can't eat too much before giving birth, you must have the strength to have a baby.

But Concubine Yun was so painful that she couldn't eat it at all.

……

Half an hour later, after several strong contractions, Concubine Yun finally entered the arranged delivery room.

The emperor was anxious, and he circled around the hall for dozens of times without stopping, chanting words in his mouth, asking for the blessing of the royal ancestors, and praying for the safety of the Jade Emperor, Guanyin and other concubines who protected the rhyme.

On the side, the queen sat on a comfortable pineapple chair, but she felt very sad and sad in her heart.

She had never seen the Lord of the peoples in front of her so anxious, even if there was a flood or a famine, she had never been so anxious on the hot pot.

Not to mention that when she gave birth back then, the so-called emperor in front of her only waited for the emperor to be born, so she went to Qifeng Palace to take a look, and then left again after a few words.

Since ancient times, it has been said that when the dusk is still known, the mandarin duck does not sleep alone. But when I saw the new man laughing, I heard the old man crying.

But she wasn't even a "newcomer" back then, and the peace talk was comparable to the "old person" of Concubine Yun?

There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it.

After all, people, fate is in a trance, and if you get one, you will lose one.

If she hadn't been so stubborn to be his queen back then, wouldn't the ending be different?

Thinking of this, the queen closed her eyes in pain, and two crystal tears flowed suddenly, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes were clear and indifferent.

……

As four hours passed, it was nightfall, but Concubine Yun had not yet given birth.

The imperial doctors in the palace were carried by the Imperial Forest Army one by one and sneaked to Baguio Palace, and then knelt on the ground one by one to find a way to let the two little princes be born smoothly.

Inside the delivery room.

"Mother, you work harder! I've seen the head of the little prince! The midwife shouted excitedly.

At the head of the bed, Concubine Yun's hair had already been wet with sweat, and the green tendons on her hands were so painful that her thin and slender fingers seemed to contain thousands of powers, wanting to penetrate everything in the world.

To be honest, when she was in the rivers and lakes in the past, she also suffered a lot of injuries, and even was on the verge of death, and she never had such pain as a broken bone.

When the pain reached its peak, Concubine Yun grabbed the little palace maid beside her with one hand, which was dressed by Congsi.

I saw that the hand that Congsi was grabbed was instantly fractured, and the "crackling" sound of joint dislocation sounded, which scared Pei Ling on the side half to death.

After a stick of incense, a clear baby cry resounded through the delivery room and spread outside the main hall.

Everyone was happy, only the midwife and Congsi were still worried.

"Niangniang, it's a little prince!" , Pei Ling trotted to Concubine Yun's ear and said excitedly.

"Niangniang, work harder, another little prince is still inside!" , the midwife is not to be outdone.

So in the delivery room, the midwife, and the new prince wiped off the blood stains and fetal smegma did not dare to be careless.

For a while, the atmosphere of tense struggle in the delivery room returned to the right people.

After half a burnt incense, the second prince was finally born smoothly.

The midwife wiped the blood on her hands and lovingly wiped the body of the little prince.

On the other side, Cong Si pulled away his left hand, which had already hurt to the point of being unconscious, and the cuff of his right hand moved, and a small bottle appeared in his hand.

Although Concubine Yun took the pill to protect the fetus, she had already exhausted her physical strength due to the long production time.

A small pill in the mouth, the effect of the medicine is extremely fast.

Concubine Yun's pain has decreased a lot, and even her strength has recovered a little.

The two babies were carried to Concubine Yun's side and clinged to each other.

Mother and son were afraid of each other, and Concubine Yun shed tears.

This is her child, her child......

It's so small, the whole body is pink, although the face is dirty, and the corners of the lips are a little blue and purple, but they are all normal and healthy.

The delivery room was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the nurse wanted to take the little prince down and wash it with hot water.

Concubine Yun glanced at Congsi, Congsi understood, and then followed the nurse to leave.

Who knew that the nurse wanted to send her aside on the grounds that "the little palace maid is young and doesn't know how to care".

Seeing this, Concubine Yun's face was pale, but she was very stern: "Do what the palace says!" ”

The nurse was frightened and hurried to obey.

Looking at the back of Cong Si leaving, Concubine Yun finally closed her eyes and rested for a while.

Someone will take care of the rest of the work in the delivery room.

……

Congsi followed the nurse to the conservatory in the side hall, and the house had already prepared hot water for the little prince to bathe.

The nurse secretly looked at the silk while cleaning the fetal smeg from the baby's body.

At this time, she just wanted to take the palace maid in front of her away, so that she could wait for someone outside to take over.

From the cold hook of the corners of his mouth, while silent, the place where his left hand was fractured and displaced, was brought back to its original position again and again.

The crisp sound of the joints rubbing back into place sounded, and the nurse's eyes widened in shock, like a cow's eyes.

I didn't expect this little palace maid to look weak, but I didn't expect to be ruthless.

The nurse was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly cleaned the prince's body.

After she wrapped the two princes, a small wisp of light smoke drifted by, and the nurse was in a trance for an instant, and walked to the chair and sat down.

Confirming that the person was unconscious, he quickly opened the window from the silk.

Immediately, two figures quickly appeared in the house, and the people who came were Xun Di and a female killer of Dongyan Lou who pretended to be a palace maid.

The female subordinate put down the rather large basket in her hand and respectfully clenched her fists: "The subordinates have seen the chief master!" ”

Congsi responded: "No need to be polite, change the child first, be careful all the way, don't let people find out." ”

The female subordinate listened to the order: "Yes! Lord! ”

Ruthlessly pushing away Xun Di's big hand that was secretly teasing the little baby, the female subordinate swapped Concubine Yun's two children with the two children in the basket, and then closed the lid.

Congsi instructed: "Let the nursing mother not take care of these two children, don't attract the wind and suffer from the cold." ”

"If there is anything important, contact me immediately, and go to Kui Xing Pavilion to find Kui Lao."

The female subordinate clenched her fists: "The subordinates understand!" ”

With that, the man disappeared into the room.

Xun Di said dissatisfiedly: "Little witch, I don't care about your subordinates, I don't even care about me, the landlord's apprentice!" ”

took a sip from the silk: "What's wrong with you being the landlord's apprentice?" Am I not? ”

"Among all the brothers and sisters, you are a fart existence! You prodigal son! ”

"Get out of here, follow them later, and see what they're up to."

Xun Di's black face: "If you scold me, I dare to instruct me to do things, and you can figure it out!" ”

……

From the silk to the silk interpretation of the milk lady in the house in the ecstasy incense, I saw the milk girl wake up slowly, and the reaction was slow for a while.

Seeing Congsi staring at herself, she was shocked, and hurriedly packed up her things, and by the way, she saw if the two little princes on the bed were dressed properly.

It's just that she won't know that the two little princes on the bed have already been replaced.

Congsi made an excuse and said that she wanted to go back to serve Concubine Yun, so she asked the nurse to serve the little prince well, and she was not hungry.

The nurse was frightened and hurriedly agreed.

Seeing Congsi close the door, the nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After about half a burnt incense, the handover person came, and the nurse finally successfully replaced the child.

Outside the Baguio Palace, Xun Di, who was hiding, saw the strange person leaving with the child, and secretly followed in the night.

Everything seems to be getting more and more off the track, and it's getting more and more interesting.
