Chapter 88
In Yutangzhai, Qu Cairen's cervix still refused to open after taking the medicine to induce labor.
After Wen Po discussed with the imperial doctor, she had two bowls of inducing labor medicine boiled and given to Qu Cairen.
Fortunately, after the medicine was given this time, Qu Cairen's cervix finally opened slowly.
Po Wen wiped her sweat and felt a little relieved. It would be good if her cervix was opened. If the cervix was not opened, there would only be one dead body and two lives.
Luo Chengjing waited in Yutangzhai for most of the day. Until dinner time, the fetus in Qu Cai's belly was still not born.
The queen looked at the sky outside, then asked the palace maid about the situation in the delivery room, and then said to Luo Chengjing: "Why don't the emperor go back to have a meal first? I can just keep guard here."
Luo Chengjing glanced at the queen, but did not respond to her words. Instead, he said to Lian Yongwang: "Pass the meal, I will eat here."
Soon, Luo Chengjing's meal was delivered to Yutangzhai and placed in front of him.
Luo Chengjing didn't say a word to the queen during the whole process, let alone asked the queen to dine with her.
The queen couldn't sit still, so she had to get up, walk to the table, took the silver chopsticks from Lian Yongwang's hand, and said with a smile: "I, my concubine, will serve the emperor."
Luo Chengjing said two words coldly, "No need."
When the queen heard this, she pinched the handkerchief in her hand and stood aside awkwardly.
Luo Chengjing had no appetite, and he didn't eat more than a few chopsticks of food, so he had the food taken away.
Qu Cairen did not give birth to a son until late that night, but the child could not even cry after birth. Although he could breathe, it was very weak.
Luo Chengjing stared at the purple baby in the swaddle for a while, closed his eyes, told the palace attendants to take good care of him, and then turned around and left.
The queen was already hungry and tired, so she followed suit after Luo Chengjing left.
As soon as she returned to Fengyi Palace, the queen ordered Liuli to quickly get her some food from the kitchen.
Liuli told the matter, and then took off the queen's hairpin and hairdresser herself. While massaging the queen's shoulders and neck, she asked: "Your Majesty, did Qu Cai's delivery go smoothly?"
Today, the queen is carrying jade with her, and Liuli doesn't know the specific situation of Yutangzhai.
When the queen heard Liuli's question, she couldn't help but smile on her face and said, "If everything goes well, how could I come back now?"
"Qu Cairen gave birth to a baby boy with great difficulty. However, the baby boy's breathing was very weak, and it was uncertain whether he would survive. Qu Cairen also injured his body, and it will be difficult for him to conceive again in the future."
The queen felt even better when she thought about Hui Bin who caused all this. If this child was born well, no one could guarantee that he would not become a threat to the prince. But now this child is not a threat to the prince.
Even if I survive, I'm afraid I'll just be a potion in the future.
Hui Bin solved this problem for her.
"Then Qu Cai will have to hate concubine Hui to death in the future, right?" Liuli said.
The Queen smiled and nodded, "It goes without saying."
The prince who had finally been conceived was now like this. If she were to be Qu Cairen, she would probably eat Hui's heart alive.
She was now hoping that Qu Cairen would retaliate against Hui Bin, and it would be best if the fetus in Hui Bin's belly would not come out to hinder her.
The prince who Qu Cairen spent half his life to give birth to was unable to survive even one night, and he completely lost his breath in a short time.
Luo Chengjing was silent for a while when he heard the news, and said calmly: "I know, let's give the child a good burial."
He died just after he was born. He didn't even have a jade certificate, and he didn't even have his teeth in order. This child would definitely not leave any trace in this world.
Giving him a proper burial was the only thing he could do for this child.
Such a big thing happened in the imperial garden yesterday, and it is impossible for the other concubines in the harem to not know about it.
Not long after Lu Wanning returned to Linglong Pavilion from the Imperial Garden, she heard that Qu Cairen had a conflict with the second princess. Hui concubine taught Qu Cairen a lesson for the second princess, causing Qu Cairen to have fetal motility. She saw Hong and was carried back to the Yutang.
Things about fasting.
Qingzhi also happily said to Lu Wanning: "Fortunately, the master left early, otherwise the master might also be implicated in this matter."
If Lu Wanning had been there at that time, regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with Lu Wanning, he would have been hated by both Hui Bin and Qu Cairen.
Because of this, Qingzhi paid special attention to the follow-up of this matter.
Therefore, she knew the news that the little prince born by Qu Cai had died in infancy.
However, Lu Wanning had not yet woken up when she knew the news, and when Lu Wanning woke up, she immediately told Lu Wanning about the matter, and also told the emperor that the emperor had been waiting in Yutangzhai last night until the little prince was born before leaving.
Said it too.
Yesterday, many people in the palace waited to know the final results of Qu Cairen's delivery before going to bed. Only Lu Wanning went to bed early after feeling sleepy.
After hearing what Qingzhi said, Lu Wanning said nothing except a slight sigh.
When Lu Wanning went to pay her respects to the Queen, she met Zhou Cairen.
Zhou Cairen was wearing a very plain dress, with only a silver hairpin in her head. Because she had not applied makeup on her face, her eyes were black and blue, and she looked very haggard.
Zhou Cairen and Qu Cairen lived together in Yutangzhai. Yesterday, the emperor and the empress were waiting in Yutangzhai, and she could only stay with them.
He was tired and hungry for a long time, and finally came to the end. After the emperor and the queen left, Zhou Cairen lay in bed and did not fall asleep all night. For a while, he could hear Qu Cairen's painful moans in his mind.
After a while, the child was covered in bruises.
When it got dark, Zhou Cairen finally squinted his eyes, but was woken up by Qu Cairen's crazy cursing and crying.
"Lu Meiren." When Zhou Cairen saw Lu Wanning, a smile appeared on his tired face and he said hello to Lu Wanning.
Ever since Lu Wanning mentioned Zhou Cairen once when it snowed last year, although Lu Wanning's attitude towards Zhou Cairen remained the same, Zhou Cairen became very close to Lu Wanning.
Lu Wanning didn't know whether Zhou Cairen's closeness to her was because she was still favored now and hoped to use her help to avenge her sister in the future, or whether he really wanted to get close to her.
Lu Wanning also smiled at Zhou Cairen and said, "Did you not get a good rest last night? Your face looks ugly."
Zhou Cairen nodded, sighed, and said: "I think Lu Meiren has heard about what happened yesterday. I couldn't sleep last night. I originally wanted to use some makeup to cover up the tiredness on my face when I went out.
But listening to Qu Cairen’s cry of pain, it’s really hard for me to put makeup on my face.”
