Wen Shichu and Zhou Nan led a group of imperial doctors to arrive in a hurry, and before they had time to wipe the sweat beads on their foreheads, the two of them were busy with their own labor.

After a short time, the spices that induced labor were ignited and burned, and the decoction of induced labor was also fried according to the recipe.

The heavy air in the dormitory was mixed with the smell of mint, rushing straight to the brain, and Wen Shichu's voice came in at this moment: "Niangniang, the emperor has got the news, and he will come over soon, there is a sentence that Weichen has to ask Niangniang." If something happens, is the mother protecting herself or the fetus? ”

Zhen Huan couldn't seem to hear, she was lost in the huge waves of pain, and her eyes closed inch by inch.

"Sister, don't sleep!" An Lingrong shouted sharply, trying to pull her out of the vague and chaotic illusion, "Sister has paid so much for this child, is it to make him stillborn today?!" ”

An Lingrong's voice was too sharp, mixed with a high singing of "The emperor has arrived", Zhen Huan suddenly woke up, she rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and reached out to hold An Lingrong's hand hard: "You go and tell the emperor, if anything happens, please don't care about the love for many years, don't hesitate to break off, you must give up your mother and protect your children." She didn't know the strength that came from all of a sudden, and she propped up half of her body and shouted out of the screen, "Wen Shichu, with our decades of affection, I want you to promise me that no matter what happens, you can't hurt my child, don't you hear!" ”

Outside the screen, Wen Shichu's face turned white in a flash, he regarded Zhen Huan as his own sister, and he was sad to learn that she chose like this: "I knew that Niangniang would answer me like this, but I didn't give up, I wanted to ask you." ”

Zhen Huan raised her head, her strength and consciousness were returning little by little: "You remember, it's best to keep our mother and son, if you can't keep it, you have to give up your mother and protect your son, remember?" Otherwise, even if you let me stay, I will definitely do something a hundred times more tragic than suicide, I can do it if I say it, do you hear it! She was sweating profusely, gasping for breath, every breath was particularly difficult, and she looked at An Lingrong again, "Rong'er, if something really happens to me, you have to raise this child for me, don't ask for ...... I don't want him to be talented, just be safe and healthy. ”

"When is it, my sister still said that it is not light or heavy." An Lingrong couldn't help but reddened her eyes, "Sister think about Haoyue, how happy she has been since she returned to her sister, Sister Mei hurts her again, after all, it is a little worse, how can my sister bear to leave this child and go alone?" ”

An Lingrong covered Zhen Huan's hands with both hands, but she couldn't warm her cold fingertips, and tears suddenly fell: "Sister, don't leave me ......" She choked up and whispered, "Think about the child's father, is he willing to see you abandon yourself like this?" ”

Zhen Huan was so painful that she almost fainted, the fetus was a little big, and it was a twin, she gave birth to a particularly difficult one, and her hand holding the cloud silk quilt was so hard that her joints turned white, but when she heard An Lingrong's words, she suddenly regained a trace of clarity.

Yunli, Yunli......

She seemed to have returned to Lingyunfeng's meditation room, that day he came to her with a wedding sticker, and wrote with her "lifelong appointment, forever married", signed by Zhen Huan, love is as deep as the sea, condensed on a small red note, she cried happily, and was overwhelmed by great happiness.

But in the blink of an eye, the red note was replaced by the red wall, the dream was just waking up, the repetition and twists and turns of fate pierced the heart, Zhen Huan took a deep breath as if drowning, and suddenly woke up, and in the hazy eyes of tears, she saw An Lingrong and Shen Meizhuang standing in front of the bed arguing.

"Sister Mei, you are a person with a body, how can there be no taboo in the bloody delivery room?"

"Huan'er has a difficult birth, I have to accompany her, the emperor can't persuade me, Rong'er, you can save some effort."

Zhen Huan whispered and called: "Sister Mei, Rong'er ......" She stretched out her hand, and two hands pulled her together, like a life-saving straw thrown in the dull night, she relaxed the tight strings in her heart, "I hurt." ”

Shen Meizhuang was so distressed that he cried and comforted: "It's soon, it'll be fine soon." ”

A bowl of thick oxytocic medicine was brought close by Cui Jinxi, and An Lingrong took it over and personally gave it to Zhen Huan: "Sister, we are all here." ”

Zhen Huan's sweaty face floated into a shallow smile: "When I was born in Haoyue, you were also with me, it's so good." ”

The effect of the medicine gradually rose, she suddenly gave birth to a force, holding An Lingrong's hand tightly, as if she could give birth to a little more strength, and in the sound of Wen Po's "come out", the first cry of the baby came.

It's just that before Shen Meizhuang could breathe a sigh of relief, one of the stable women exclaimed, "There is another one!" ”

Several stable women looked at each other, and an experienced one hurriedly took a piece of old ginseng and let Zhen Huan bite it in her mouth, she knew that after giving birth to a child, she was basically in a state of detachment, this breath was already loose, and it would be difficult to stretch it again, because the death rate of twins was very high, she couldn't help but tighten her scalp, and mentioned the spirit of 120,000 points: "Niangniang work hard, the first one comes out, the second one is simple, Niangniang mentions the spirit, don't fall asleep." ”

The emperor and the queen sat under the porch together, and they didn't even have time to go back to the palace to change the gorgeous clothes they wore at the banquet.

"And another?" The queen repeated Wen Po's words in disbelief, almost not holding back the expression on her face, "You mean, Concubine Xi's baby is a twin?" ”

"Yes." Wen Po lowered her hand and replied respectfully, "Imperial Doctor Zhou has prescribed a new pair of medicines, although the medicine is more fierce, but the strength of the mother has recovered a lot after taking it, and now she is giving birth to a second one, and Mr. is a little princess, very healthy." ”

"Okay." The emperor nodded emphatically, "You must keep Concubine Xi's mother and son safe." ”

Wen Po answered yes, and then walked back to the dormitory.

The queen had a gloomy face, the roots of her teeth were about to be broken, and she couldn't stop cursing in her heart, cursing Zhen Huan for dying in childbirth, and both mother and child were damaged. But her wish was destined to be frustrated, and when the second cry resounded through the Eternal Longevity Palace, she closed her eyes in disappointment and weakness.

"Concubine Xi is really a blessing, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses can be regarded as ensuring the glory and wealth of her life." The queen breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, and she was depressed and unhappy for the past few days.

"What kind of ability is born to be born, and it is only when you raise it to be big." Qi Guiren sat aside and said nonchalantly.

Concubine Jin's eyebrows jumped, she glanced at the queen whose face suddenly darkened, and hurriedly diverted the topic: "Queen Mother, the concubine heard that Concubine Xi is going to be promoted again?" ”

"Yes, the emperor insisted on making her a concubine, and he also gave her the right to assist in the six palaces, and the queen mother also agreed, and the palace couldn't even say half a sentence. One Rong Guifei, one Xi Guifei, if you two don't work hard, I'm afraid you won't even have a foothold in this palace in the future. Speaking of this, the queen was so angry that she had a headache, and now the two she has to use are empty and beautiful vases, "Noble Qi, you haven't been favored by the emperor since you lifted the grounding, Concubine Jin, you went against the instructions of the palace and acted without authorization, resulting in a failure." One or two can't coax the emperor, what use does the palace want you? ”

Concubine Jin and Guiren Qi lowered their heads in disdain, not daring to say a word.

The queen softened her tone: "Noble Qi, everyone in the palace knows that you and Concubine Xi are not in harmony, and now she is in full swing, so you can avoid it for the time being." Turning to look at Concubine Jin, "You go back and practice your voice well, you can practice to three points last time, and you can practice to seven or eight points in a few months, and when the year comes, the palace will find a way to hold you up." This time, don't take matters into your own hands. ”

This is to make it clear that we must put Concubine Jin first.

Concubine Jin was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to thank her, and Qi Guiren sat gloomily in her position, her face full of unwillingness.

"Okay, the palace is going to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye, you two should go back first." The queen got up with Jian Qiu's hand and walked in a hurry, not noticing the viciousness that flashed in the eyes of the Qi nobles.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother is teasing the eighth elder brother and the fifth princess.

"Hold it away, don't get sick with the mourning family." It was rare for the Queen Mother to be so happy, every wrinkle on her face was full of smiles, she looked at the emperor, "Have you chosen your name?" ”

"The eighth elder brother is called Hongzhao, which means bright and auspicious." The emperor was also full of smiles, "The princess hasn't decided on the title yet, let Concubine Xi think about it herself." ”

The Queen Mother was praising the eighth elder brother for being white and tender, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, you set the name of the elder brother, and she sets the name of the princess, just wait for Concubine Hui's child to be born, and the name will be taken by the mourning family." ”

The queen reminded the nurse intentionally or unintentionally: "Concubine Xi's dragon and phoenix fetus was born prematurely, you must take care of it well, and you must not miss a little." After a pause, she smiled at the emperor and the queen mother again, "It's a shame that Concubine Xi is hiding it so tightly, and there are rumors in the palace before...... Even the concubines were blinded, if they had known that Concubine Xi was a twin, there would have been no such misunderstandings. ”

"Concubine Xi Guifei's return to the palace was controversial, and the situation at that time was that she said that she was pregnant with twins, who would believe it? It's better to hide it, and when the child is born now, all rumors will be self-defeating. The Queen Mother lowered her face coldly, and she didn't save face for the queen at all, "Queen, I have also heard the rumors and rumors in the past, and some of the words are really unbearable, as the queen, you have been too derelict in this matter." ”

"Yes, it's all concubines." The queen simply accepted her mistake and admitted her mistake, "The concubine specially picked two pieces of fine green and white Hetian jade from the library, called the craftsman to make it overnight, and made two peace pendants for the two children, and also selected a piece of fine jade and made a bracelet, which was sent to Concubine Xi later." ”

Seeing that the queen's posture was so low, the queen mother's face eased, and even the emperor was a lot gentler towards her: "It's good that the queen can be so compassionate." ”

The queen smiled wisely and gracefully, swallowing her unwillingness.

In the Yongshou Palace, An Lingrong took the jade bracelet that Jian Qiu had just sent over and looked at it again and again, and exclaimed: "The queen mother has a lot of good things in her hands, sister, you see, how good the water of this bracelet is, it is oily and smooth, there are no impurities at all, and my sister brought it, and the lining of the hands is whiter." ”

"If you like it, take it, I don't get any good things she gives." Zhen Huan glanced at her hands and sighed lightly, "In the past two years in Ganlu Temple, I have done all kinds of rough work, and my hands are no longer suitable for carrying such valuable jewelry. ”

An Lingrong glanced at Zhen Huan's mottled hands because of the old year's frostbite, raised her eyebrows to hide her distress, and then smiled and took out her gift: "So the gift I gave must be my sister's favorite." She opened the small box in her hand, "This is jade skin cream, I specially prepared it for my sister, my sister rubbed a thick layer on her hands every day, and then wrapped it in slightly damp gauze, and washed it off after a stick of incense, with three or four boxes, her hands will definitely be able to return to the same as before." This ointment can't be kept for too long, so I'll use this box first, and when it's gone, I'll make it for my sister. ”

"It smells so good." Zhen Huan picked a little and wiped it on the back of her hand and sniffed it, full of praise, "Rong'er, you really can do anything, how can I be good without you." ”

An Lingrong squinted and laughed.

At this time, Cui Jinxi walked in slowly and said, "Two mothers, Concubine Jing is here." ”
