The Changchun Palace is now in a state of chaos. Queen Xu's due date is nearly ten days ahead of schedule as Po Wen said.
Although everything was ready, it still caught everyone off guard.
Especially since Empress Xu became pregnant, she had a severe pregnancy reaction and was weak. Now she gave birth prematurely. This birth was extremely difficult.
Cries of pain continued to come from the palace, and blood poured out from basin after basin.
The Holy Father was very nervous.
He had few heirs, the fifth prince was violent, and the sixth prince was weak, all of which made him unhappy.
And the Ninth Prince was too young to see anything.
Therefore, he unknowingly placed great hope on Queen Xu's pregnancy.
After a while, a stable woman ran out covered in blood and said: "The queen's fetus is not in the right position and it is difficult to give birth. Please call the imperial doctor quickly!"
The imperial doctor glanced at the Holy One, and after receiving His Majesty's approval, he no longer worried about the defense of men and women.
I hurried in to perform acupuncture and massage.
Sixue wiped the sweat from Queen Xu's forehead while looking at the imperial doctors nervously.
Queen Xu gave birth not nearly ten days early, but nearly a month early.
If it weren't for the abnormal position of Queen Xu's fetus, Sixue would not have let these experienced doctors come in.
Queen Xu was so painful that she became unconscious.
She grabbed Sixue's hand and said vaguely: "Save...me."
Sixue burst into tears. She understood what Queen Xu meant. Once she could only save one, she must save Queen Xu.
Sixue whispered in Empress Xu's ear: "Don't worry, my lady, I know this."
Although she knew it, it was not her decision to protect her parents and children, but the Holy One outside.
Everyone knows who the Holy Emperor will choose between the long-awaited heir and the emotionless Empress Xu.
At this moment, Queen Xu's voice gradually became weaker. Anyone who heard it would know that this was not a good sign.
The Holy Emperor was in a hurry, and the Eighteen Sons spun in his hand.
Nothing could be thought of except Empress Xu and the emperor's heir.
At this moment, a palace servant came in from outside carrying a tea bowl and tripped over the steps.
Just listen to a "pop" sound.
The solemn atmosphere was broken together, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The saint's nervousness was suddenly startled, and he actually broke out in a cold sweat. He frowned and looked at the source of the sound.
Fuhai took the whisk and rushed over angrily, scolding the palace servant: "You dog slave! Where have you learned all the rules? You can't even serve tea! Go and kneel outside! If you don't scream, you are not allowed to get up.
!”
The little palace servant cried and kowtowed to Fuhai and said: "I know my mistake! Please spare my life, Eunuch Fuhai! The palace gate will be opened soon. If you kneel like this all night, I will freeze to death! Eunuch Fuhai, please spare your life."
!”
Fuhai said fiercely: "How dare you make such a noise! Why don't you just shut your mouth and drag me out!"
Eunuch Fuhai dealt with this little incident very quickly.
Before the Holy One could get angry, it was already settled.
Just those words...
The saint's temples twitched as he thought of Gu Yulai. Just as he was about to say something, there was another commotion outside the Changchun Palace.
Concubine De hurried over holding the sixth prince in one hand and the eighth princess in the other.
The palace officials of Changchun Palace blocked the way outside, but Concubine De was the daughter of a general and had practiced martial arts since she was a child, so she didn't take these palace officials seriously.
After kicking and beating, he and his two children barged in.
The Holy Emperor found an outlet for his frustration due to Queen Xu's difficulty in giving birth. He slammed the table angrily, pointed at Concubine De and cursed: "What a shame!"
Concubine De, who had been extremely arrogant just now, suddenly knelt down and said in a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have always cared about the Queen, but these dog slaves actually blocked me from the door."
The Holy One said angrily: "Did I make a decree not to allow idle people to wait here? You turned a deaf ear to my words!"
Concubine De pushed the sixth prince and eighth princess in front of her and said: "When the two children heard that they were going to have a little brother, they asked me to bring them over. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
The Holy Emperor had just mistakenly thought of Gu Yu, who was still kneeling outside the Fengtian Hall because of the little palace servant who broke the tea cup. Now seeing these two children raised under the knees of Concubine Zhao, there is something he still doesn't understand.
At this time, Queen Xu suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry of pain in the delivery room.
An imperial doctor came out to announce the good news and said: "The fetus is in the correct position!"
That's good news.
Once the fetal position is correct, the next delivery will be easier.
Seeing Concubine De who was still kneeling on the ground and her two children, the Holy Master said: "Concubine De has acted recklessly, revoked her title, and demoted Li Yuan."
From being the first of the four concubines to being demoted to Liang Yuan without even having a title, this punishment is not unbearable.
However, there was no reaction on Li Liangyuan's face, and she waited patiently for what the Lord would say next.
The Holy Master said to Fu Hai, who had just dealt with the erring palace man, "Go and ask Gu Yu to leave the palace."
Eunuch Fuhai agreed.
Li Liangyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The sixth prince and the eighth princess stood beside her on the left and right, silently.
Watching Eunuch Fuhai leave Changchun Palace, Li Liangyuan shook the hand of the sixth prince.
Fortunately, the sixth prince was smart and knew to call her over.
Otherwise, the Sixth Prince might not be able to reach Changchun Palace alone, and would be stopped by Queen Xu's people.
The sixth prince lowered his head, and no one could see his expression clearly at this time.
Queen Xu's cries of pain for giving birth continued, and the emperor's eighteen sons began to rotate slightly more steadily.
----------------------------------------
Gu Yu could no longer feel the passage of time. Her consciousness was blurred and she wanted to lie down on the ground, but her body was like ice and she could not move.
She is too conceited.
I think I can control everything, I think I can be invincible if I can control people's hearts.
But accidents are everywhere, and she can't escape them every time.
She didn't have time to regret it. She chewed up the ginger slices and ginseng slices in her purse, and her body was covered with light and fluffy ice and snow. It was like a mountain weighing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe but unable to brush it away.
Gu Yu smiled bitterly in her heart. Junze once grabbed her hair and scolded her not to risk her life anymore, but she agreed at that time.
But now I still break my promise.
Maybe it's her retribution.
Playing with life is retribution and you will reap the consequences.
It's so frustrating, she still has so much to do.
But she was so tired that she really couldn't hold on anymore.
In the chaos, Gu Yu heard someone calling her, but she was like a butterfly stuck in the mud. Her consciousness was struggling desperately, but her body could not move.
The key to the palace gate was about to be released, and Eunuch Fuhai almost ran to Fengtian Hall with his people.
Arriving in front of Gu Yu, Fuhai was panting and called out hurriedly: "Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu, how are you?"
Gu Yu looked like an ice sculpture, with a layer of ice and snow on her hair and clothes.
No matter how I called, there was no response.
The cold wind blew by, and Fuhai couldn't help but shrink his neck.
In such a cold weather, Mr. Gu had to kneel for so long despite his injuries.
Fuhai secretly thought it was not good, and put his hand on Gu Yu's shoulder. Gu Yu fell to the ground like a stone man.
