Silent fetal arrest is not uncommon, especially for first-time babies. Most unhealthy fetuses cannot be kept.
As Siniang was talking, she remembered the scene that night, which happened without any warning. That night, Liu Yuniang was still in trouble, but she suddenly became red and felt nothing else except some abdominal pain.
When she was called by someone and rushed to Liu Yuniang's bedroom, she was also shocked by the large blood stains on Liu Yuniang's skirt. Si Niang panicked and hurriedly stepped forward, "Xianfei..."
Liu Yuniang opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but her tears couldn't stop flowing out. She was so choked that it was difficult to even cry. A stream of blood poured out of her lower body. Liu Yuniang was so frightened that her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Siniang was still a girl who had not yet left the court. She had never seen such a posture before. She was so frightened that her hands and feet became weak, and she shouted in a panic: "Where is the imperial minister? Where is the imperial minister? Cuiwan, go and announce the imperial minister!"
Cui Wan was also frightened. She broke into a cold sweat and said, "We have already sent someone."
Siniang changed her words and said: "No, go to the Zhengyi Palace and ask the queen to call the imperial doctor!"
Cui Wan responded repeatedly, feeling that only the imperial doctor would be useful at this time.
Siniang suddenly thought of Li Jin, "Quick, go and ask the saint to come." She thought that Liu Yuniang would feel at ease only if Li Jin came at this time.
It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to arrive, followed closely by the queen. The entire Xianning Palace was filled with the smell of medicine. I boiled more than a dozen anti-fetal medicines, but they all had no effect. The situation did not improve. Everyone in Xianning Palace was in a hurry... Finally
Liu Yuniang still had a miscarriage and the baby could not be saved.
When the saint came, he only heard such news.
Even on this bright day in March, Si Niang could not help but shudder. That night, her whole brain was filled with large patches of blood. She did not dare to fall asleep easily, and stayed awake all night.
Liu Yuniang and Cuiwan also persuaded her to rest, but she refused.
Qingrong's face was solemn. She didn't expect it to be so dangerous. She patted Siniang's hand comfortingly, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid. It's lucky that Concubine Xian has woken up now and is fine."
Si Niang sighed and said: "It's just that this time I still hurt my foundation. Concubine Xian lost too much blood that night. She has been thirsty a lot in the past few days and nights. Her hands and feet are sore and weak. It's very difficult to even get up.
My hands and feet are also cold during the day."
"It's so serious!" Qingrong was also shocked and became more and more worried.
Siniang said: "Her Royal Highness the Queen has always been very considerate. She visited the Concubine several times and rewarded her with a lot of tonics. It was really thanks to Her Royal Highness the Queen who summoned the imperial doctor in time that night." It should be noted that this imperial doctor was only here for her.
Queens and saints see doctors, and ordinary concubines can only use imperial doctors with the approval of saints and queens.
Qingrong paused after hearing the words. She felt unspeakable in her heart, and she understood more and more what the queen just meant. It seemed that if the four mothers and others were to be safe in the palace, it was best for her not to disobey the queen's wishes.
The two of them walked to Liu Yuniang's house, and Si Niang went in first to report to Qingrong, and then Qingrong entered the house.
But Liu Yuniang told Qingrong to stop in front of the gauze curtain and not to come forward. Liu Yuniang's voice sounded very weak, "No, just stand outside. You have just been married, so don't get into my bad luck."
Qingrong felt even more distressed when she heard this and said: "What did Concubine Xian say? It is already difficult for a woman to give birth to a child. From being pregnant for ten months to giving birth, isn't that step a shocking step? Unexpected and artificial, a little bit
If something goes wrong, it’s called bad luck. Isn’t it ridiculous?”
After saying that, Qingrong walked forward and raised the gauze curtain. When she walked to the bed, she found that Liu Yuniang's eyes were very red and swollen, and her face was extremely pale and lifeless... I guess she had been crying all day these days.
, heartbroken.
She glanced at Si Niang who was standing aside, and Si Niang shook her head, feeling helpless.
"Sister Yu..." Qingrong couldn't bear it and called her. After these days, she was actually getting better, but hearing this sound, Liu Yuniang's tears still rolled in her eyes. Qingrong felt bitter for a moment.
She didn't know how to speak. After a while, she could only advise, "Concubine Xian, you should take care of yourself and don't be too sad..."
Liu Yuniang just shook her head, "I am useless and have no fate with this child...so I can't keep him."
Qingrong's heart was also heavy. She said: "Concubine Xian, don't be discouraged. You are still so young. You will still have opportunities in the future."
Liu Yuniang was looking forward to the arrival of this child. Others may not know it, but Siniang knew it, but she didn't expect such a result. Siniang also advised: "Yes, what's more, the saint also loves the virtuous concubine very much. I want to come
He was just as unhappy in his heart."
Liu Yuniang suddenly sneered and laughed at herself, "I am no longer the little lady outside the palace. I understand how sad the saint is."
Qingrong and Siniang were both silent for a while after hearing this.
"But I also know that the only thing I can rely on in this palace is the saint's little pity..." Liu Yuniang's voice was full of sadness, which made people feel chilled.
Qingrong didn't know what was going on, but he roughly guessed what Liu Yuniang meant. It was probably that the saint didn't care much about Liu Yuniang's miscarriage.
"Since Concubine Xian understands, how can she be so sad and discouraged?" Qingrong thought about it and said unhurriedly: "Concubine Xian is the concubine of a saint. Don't say anything else. It's just that with the compassion of the saint, Xian Concubine
Why should I worry about having no future and no support?"
Her words were clear and hit Liu Yuniang's heart word by word. Liu Yuniang seemed to be awakened by someone's words. She looked at Qingrong intently. Qingrong stepped forward to tuck her quilt and looked into Liu Yuniang's eyes.
She lowered her voice and said sincerely: "It is true that Concubine Xian is sad to lose her flesh and blood, but the grief should not be too sad, otherwise it will be of no use to others or yourself. You also know my uncle's temperament. He will probably not be able to help outside the palace.
Concubine Xian and so on, in this palace, Concubine Xian, you are my greatest support."
Si Niang also had a look of relief on her face, looking at her sister. Liu Yuniang looked at Qingrong's clear and calm eyes that seemed to see everything, her heart trembled, her hands clenched tightly unconsciously, but she was speechless for a long time.
Qingrong and Siniang said many words together to persuade Liu Yuniang to put her own body first. At the end, Qingrong also gave Siniang the peace charm he had prayed for at Lingbao Temple. "This is where I go.
Lingbao Temple specially requested it for you two. I heard people say that this is very effective. It contains your birth dates. It is best to carry it with you or put it under your pillow to avoid bad luck."
Si Niang smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you very much, sister."
Liu Yuniang finally relieved some of the frustration in her heart. She also smiled and said, "It's hard for you to have such a bad intention."
Qingrong shook her head, "As long as people are well, everything else is trivial."
Qingrong was afraid that talking too long would disturb Liu Yuniang's rest, so she didn't stay long. Si Niang sent Qingrong out of the palace. Along the way, she was very reluctant to separate from Qingrong. When Qingrong saw her tearful eyes, she felt distressed and funny at the same time.
She stepped forward and held Siniang's hand and said: "Just send it here. If there is a chance next month, I will come to see you again. I know you are worried about Concubine Xian, but you should take more care of yourself.
"
Siniang felt something in her heart and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I know."
Qingrong leaned over and whispered in Si Niang's ear, reminding her, "Also, be careful of Her Highness the Queen. She may be willing to help the virtuous concubine, but you still need to be wary of her, and you can't believe everything she says."
She stepped back and looked into Siniang's eyes, "Do you understand?"
Although Siniang felt it was strange, she had always believed in Qingrong, and she nodded with deep understanding.
Qingrong smiled heartily, "Then, sister will leave."
Si Niang hummed and endured the slight sourness in her heart until Qingrong's figure blurred into a small dot in the long palace wall and could no longer be seen... Si Niang couldn't help but rub her sore eyes.
There was a moment of trance, as if this scene was not unfamiliar.
Si Niang stood there for a while, cleared her thoughts, and turned back to Xianning Palace. She knew that no matter how scared and terrified she was, she could only face everything here now...
Qingrong went to the queen's place and left the palace with Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei is also easy to get along with, so Qingrong is also willing to deal with her. Wei Xunyan looked at Qingrong and said with a smile, "I really want to congratulate you."
Qingrong was puzzled and asked: "Where did Madam say this?"
"I heard from Your Highness that the saint intends to promote General Xue Lang. I estimate that the edict will be sent to you in a few days."
Qingrong pretended to be surprised, "Can you take what Madam said seriously?"
Mrs. Wei said: "Of course it is true."
Qingrong smiled and said, "I just don't know why?"
Mrs. Wei said: "I heard that Li Fuxing, the lieutenant general in the Ministry of War, was demoted because he was unfilial to his parents and ignored his filial piety. Now someone has to take this position. Mother Ying reminded me that the saint would think of Xue Shao first."
Qingrong was confused, could such a private matter be involved? It was hard for her to believe that there was no scheming. Mrs. Wei's words, both inside and outside, revealed the concord between the emperor and the empress.
Qingrong nodded and said with gratitude: "Thank you madam for informing me, but I really don't know much about this court matter. I guess every move of the saint has his intention."
Mrs. Wei looked at her and said with a smile: "What you said is similar to what Ying Niang said, but like you, I don't know anything about the affairs in the court. I only heard what Ying Niang and my mother said a lot."
Mrs. Wei followed Yingniang's wishes and told Qingrong what she just said. Mrs. Wei clicked her tongue and said: "There have been a lot of things going on in the court recently. I just heard from Yingniang that the imperial censor Liu Qingsi filed a lawsuit against this official.
The matter is related to the provincial minister Lu Liangzhi. This minister is usually upright and upright, but he did not expect to let his subordinates rape the women of the people and engage in corruption and bribery."
Qingrong was not familiar with the names of these people, and it was not a lie when she said she did not understand government affairs. She listened with a vague understanding, and Mrs. Wei continued, "If you ask me, this can be regarded as God's retribution.
, this Lu Liangzhi had previously impeached Cui Ningqian because of jealousy over trivial matters. After Yingniang’s child was crowned acting king, he couldn’t wait and kept urging him. The matter of conferring the imperial concubine’s son Li Wei as king is really troublesome.”
After thinking for a while, Qingrong quickly roughly divided the factions from the names mentioned by Mrs. Wei. This Cui Ningqian may be a relative of Mrs. Cui, while this Lu Liangzhi is on the side of the noble concubine, that is, King Yong.
He was impeached at this time, and someone must have used this matter to beat Prince Yong and the noble concubine.
Qingrong now also knows that the queen has a son, but he is not her biological son, but the son of a beautiful woman who died in childbirth, but Li Wei is Xie's biological son. What's more, Xie has such a son in the court
With a strong background, the harems of each dynasty are all based on the mother and the son. The position in the middle palace and the position of the prince are both a huge piece of fat. With the queen's temperament, she must not tolerate the existence of such a threat.
Qingrong said: "Then this matter has been found to be true?"
Mrs. Wei sighed, "It's still unknown. The sage has ordered Dali Temple to investigate the case strictly, but you also know that this kind of thing will not come out of nowhere? If you can stand on your own, who will impeach you? If it needs to be investigated
Ming, I want to see what this old man has to say."
If it is to be found out, Lu Liangzhi has committed a serious crime, which can range from being demoted to being expelled from the court. Mrs. Wei is the Queen's natal family, so she is naturally dissatisfied with what Lu Liangzhi has done. Based on Qing Rong's speculation, this
I am afraid that a saint would not want this, but I don’t know who gave the instructions behind Liu Qingsi.
But no matter who it is, this incident may have shown that the Yongwang faction may have become the target of public criticism. If they are tied to them, it may be difficult to survive. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that she cannot remain neutral, and her position has already been
