Chapter 348 Premature birth
In the Yongshou Palace.
Wei Lin took Zhen Huan's pulse and came before Yongzheng to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi is anxious and her fetus is moving violently. She is already showing signs of premature birth!"
The Queen's eyes rolled, and her seemingly concerned words concealed a hidden meaning: "But the dragon fetus is only seven months old, how can it be born soon?"
"Your Majesty is pregnant with twins, which puts her at risk of premature birth. Given the current situation, to protect both you and the heir, we have no choice but to force-feed!"
Twins!
The Queen's eyes widened instantly. No wonder the Emperor didn't care at all about the rumors spread by Concubine Qi. It turned out that he had known for a long time that Concubine Xi was pregnant with twins.
"This is a great joyous event. I, your concubine, congratulate the Emperor!"
Yongzheng stood with his hands behind his back, his voice stern and emotionless: "Wei Lin, do as you say. You must ensure the safety of Concubine Xi and her child. Otherwise, I will have the Imperial Hospital buried with them."
"Yes!"
Wei Lin bowed and hurried away.
"Your Majesty, with the imperial physician here, Concubine Xi will be safe and sound. You should take a rest!" The Queen walked to Yongzheng's side and comforted him softly, but her eyes kept glancing towards the delivery room.
Yongzheng then sat down on the soft couch, constantly fiddling with the jade beads in his hand. The beads collided with each other, making crisp sounds that were particularly clear in the silent palace.
When he heard the painful groans in the delivery room, he began to regret his actions today.
In the royal garden.
Yongzheng had been drinking, and the wind blew him into a drunken state, his eyes were a little blurry, and he was supported by Su Peisheng and walked around casually.
Suddenly, he saw a woman walking slowly not far away. In the moonlight, she looked like a fairy who was isolated from the world. As he got closer, he saw that she was the wife he had been thinking about day and night.
His heartbeat suddenly quickened, his breathing became rapid and heavy, his eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and surprise. He stood there, not daring to make a sound, fearing this was just a fragile dream that would dissipate with the slightest movement.
Seeing that the woman seemed to be turning around and leaving, he was extremely anxious and blurted out subconsciously: "Who is here?"
After hearing this cry, the Royal Guards immediately moved and quickly blocked the woman's way. He forced himself to calm down, slowly walked forward, and carefully looked at the woman in front of him.
After a few words of conversation, he was surprised to find that not only did this woman look 80% similar to Chun Yuan, but even her tone of voice, expression and temperament were very similar to the Chun Yuan in his memory.
When he came to his senses again, Zhen Huan and the concubines had surrounded him.
Then the current situation was created.
In the delivery room.
An Lingrong asked, "Su Ye, what do you think? Can the birth be normal?"
"Fortunately, although it is a premature birth, the fetus is in a normal position and there should be no dystocia. However, just in case, I will make some preparations."
After Su Ye finished speaking, he nodded to Cai Xing behind him.
Caixing understood and walked out quickly.
Zhen Huan lay in bed, her face pale as a sheet, beads of sweat covering her forehead, her hair matted to her cheeks. Her eyes were fixed on An Lingrong and Su Ye. After they whispered for a while, Cai Xing left, and alarm bells rang in her heart.
"Rong'er, Rong'er." Zhen Huan called out weakly, enduring the pain in her abdomen.
An Lingrong quickly walked to the delivery bed, leaned over and held her hand, forcing a smile on her face as she softly comforted her, "Sister Zhen, I'm with you, don't be afraid."
I'm only afraid when you're around!
"Where is Sister Mei?"
"She arranged for a wet nurse outside the palace."
"Call her!"
Seeing her anxious face, An Lingrong did not dare to delay and asked a little maid to call Shen Meizhuang.
A moment later, Shen Meizhuang hurried to the delivery bed and asked anxiously, "What happened?"
"I don't know, Sister Zhen is calling you!"
Shen Meizhuang came to the delivery bed and held her hand. Zhen Huan felt more at ease before she asked with trembling lips, "Rong'er, are you...are you going to have a cesarean section on me?"
An Lingrong explained, "No, Su Ye said your pregnancy is fine, so you don't need a cesarean section. Don't worry."
"Then where did Caixing go?"
"She... went to make the medicine to induce labor!"
"Stay away from me, I...I'm scared!"
……
"I have to stay here with you!"
"Let Sister Mei accompany me!"
"Sister Mei has something to do!"
"Sister Mei..."
"Okay, I'll stay here with you, Rong'er, go find Sister Jingfei, and leave the rest to her."
"Okay!" An Lingrong stood up helplessly.
Only then did Zhen Huan feel relieved, and the tense feeling in her heart relaxed a little.
"Sister Zhen, you must give birth well, otherwise..."
Before she could finish, Shen Meizhuang raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Get out!"
"okay!"
After An Lingrong responded, she quickened her pace and walked out of the delivery room.
Outside the palace, Yongzheng saw her coming out and asked hurriedly, "Why did you come out? How is Huanhuan?"
At this moment, An Lingrong really didn't want to see Yongzheng's hypocritical face and was planning to just respond casually. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Empress sitting to the side, her eyes revealing her usual shrewdness and calculation.
She immediately changed her mind, her face instantly filled with concern, and she said, "Your Majesty, Sister Zhen was already very hard-pressed carrying twins, and now something like this has happened. I'm sure Sister Zhen must be heartbroken and worried. Now that she's in premature labor, she's going to suffer greatly!"
After hearing this, Yongzheng's face flashed with guilt. He sighed softly and blamed himself: "I was reckless!"
The Empress interjected, "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven. How could an Emperor be wrong? It's Concubine Xi who is so ignorant! As a concubine in the harem, she should share the Emperor's worries. How could she get so angry over such a trivial matter that she even suffered a premature birth?"
An Lingrong looked at her with a half-smile: "The Empress is the mother of the country, and has long transcended the love affairs of ordinary women. Naturally, she cannot understand Concubine Xi's infatuation with the Emperor. She still needs to learn more from the Empress!"
After saying this, she ignored the queen's ugly expression, bowed, and walked out of the hall.
Yu Rao stood in the yard, nervously clutching her handkerchief with both hands, her eyes fixed on the palace door.
An Lingrong glanced at her and turned to go to the side hall.
After a while, Yu Rao followed, her voice choked with sobs and almost crying: "Sister Rong..."
An Lingrong walked forward, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Don't cry, Sister Zhen is fine. With Su Ye here, she will be safe."
After she calmed down a bit, An Lingrong asked, "What happened today? Why did you go to the Imperial Garden?"
