PDLP Chapter 130 Serious Injury
Chapter 130 Serious Injury
Just as An Lingrong was about to stretch out her hand, she heard voices outside the palace shouting: The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived.
Everyone in the room knelt down and saluted.
"Where is the Sixth Prince?" Yongzheng strode into the hall and asked impatiently.
Caiyue carried the Sixth Prince forward and said, "Sixth Prince, pay your respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
Yongzheng took it and looked at it carefully. The Sixth Prince had thick hair, a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows on his chubby face, a pair of eyes as clear and bright as black gemstones, and delicate and smooth skin. When he saw the emperor looking at him, he actually smiled.
This child is quite pleasing, and his birth brought blessings, making him a child of good fortune. "Su Peisheng, pass on the decree that Concubine Hui be promoted to Consort Hui, and the prince will be enthroned and celebrated together on his full moon day."
Mrs. Shen only glanced at the Sixth Prince and came to Shen Meiyu's bedside. Upon hearing the words, she quickly stood up and expressed her gratitude.
"The imperial physicians, nannies, and palace maids who delivered the baby today will all be rewarded. Everyone in Yonghe Palace will be rewarded with half a year's monthly allowance as a reward for your dedication in serving the master." Looking at his newborn son, Yongzheng felt ten years younger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Queen said at the side: "Huipin is so lucky. The Sixth Prince has a full forehead. He is so cute!"
Looking at the pink and tender baby in front of her, the queen couldn't help but think of how the eldest prince looked when he was just born.
"Where is the wet nurse?" Yongzheng asked.
No one answered.
A moment later, Xiao Shi entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, the two wet nurses sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs both have diarrhea. Please instruct Your Majesty on how to deal with this."
Yongzheng frowned and asked, "Why do you have diarrhea?"
"They thought the queen wouldn't give birth today, so they stole the ice from the ice basin because it was too hot."
"Move them out to avoid polluting the Yonghe Palace grounds. Instruct the Imperial Household Department to select new wet nurses!"
The Queen said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we're running out of time!"
Madam Shen hurried over and said, "Your Majesty and Empress, in order to prepare for any emergency, I have prepared two wet nurses at home. They are now outside the Xuanwu Gate."
Yongzheng was very happy, "Okay! Go and bring them in to feed the Sixth Prince!"
Only then did he remember to ask the imperial physician about Shen Meizhuang's health.
At this time, all the concubines in the palace had learned the news and gathered in Yonghe Palace. Even the empress dowager came in person.
Seeing the Sixth Prince being so cute, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but think of her son who died young. When that child was born, he also had a pair of willow-shaped eyebrows like her. She liked the Sixth Prince even more!
Seeing the empress dowager's loving face, An Lingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned against the antique display case beside the couch and stared at the sleeping Shen Meizhuang.
Su Ye stayed beside Shen Meizhuang and did not dare to leave for a moment. When he saw the young lady looking at him, he secretly made an "OK" gesture.
An Lingrong was completely relieved. It had been nearly half an hour since she gave birth, so there shouldn't be any hemorrhage!
Oh, I’m so tired!
On the way back, Yongzheng had already roughly understood what happened in Yikun Palace. "How is Wanpin?"
Zhang Mi stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan is weak and has had a miscarriage. She needs to rest in bed."
When Nian Shilan learned that Concubine Hui had given birth prematurely, she was terrified. Now that she saw that Concubine Hui and the child were safe and sound, and Concubine Wan was also fine, although she was jealous of the emperor's love for the child, she was relieved, at least she would not be punished.
So she squeezed in front of the emperor and said coquettishly, "Wanpin and Wenchang disobeyed the palace rules and were disrespectful to me, so I punished them. Unexpectedly, it frightened Huifei. Fortunately, Huifei gave birth to a prince safely, otherwise I would not be at peace!"
Yongzheng remained silent, staring at Nian Shilan for a long while. But now that the three victims were gone, he naturally let Nian Shilan say whatever she wanted.
After a while, Yongzheng said, "Let's talk about this matter after Concubine Hui wakes up!"
The Queen suddenly asked, "Where is Concubine Wen?"
Only then did everyone remember An Lingrong.
Jingpin knew that she was seriously injured, so she walked to her side and gently pushed her, "Sister, the Queen wants to talk to you."
With this push, An Lingrong lost her balance and fell straight to the side. Jingpin was quick to act and quickly stretched out her hands to hug An Lingrong tightly.
The people in the hall were shocked, and the emperor and empress also came over to see An Lingrong.
Her eyes were closed, her face was pale and her lips were blue.
Jingpin carefully placed An Lingrong on her lap and gently wrapped her arm around her waist.
Suddenly, she felt a warm, damp sensation coming from her hand. Startled, she quickly changed her arm to hold An Lingrong, and at the same time pulled her other arm out to check the situation. She saw that her hand was covered in blood, and even her sleeve was soaked in blood, a dazzling crimson.
Jingpin slowly turned her over and found that An Lingrong's light pink clothes had been stained dark red with blood, covering her entire back!
"Ah..." Some timid concubines screamed.
Jingpin used her trembling fingers to feel her breath. Fortunately, she was still breathing. "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician."
Zhang Mi stepped forward with trembling hands to feel the pulse, "The young master has lost too much blood and is unconscious!"
Yongzheng asked in a deep voice, "Excessive blood loss, what's going on?"
Xiao Luzi knelt on the ground with red eyes, "Reporting to the Emperor, Concubine Hua beat my young master with eighty sticks and ordered that the imperial physicians were not allowed to treat her. In order to protect Concubine Hui and the Sixth Prince, my young master has been dragging her feet until now."
Seeing Yongzheng's unfriendly expression, Nian Shilan quickly defended herself, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wen was falsely conveying the imperial edict and teasing me, so I ordered the torture. She didn't even give me eighty strokes of the cane. Your Majesty..."
"Let's send Concubine Wen back to the Yanx Palace to treat her injuries first!" The Queen interrupted Nian Shilan!
Yongzheng nodded, "Okay! Zhang Mi, you go take care of it!"
Su Ye was so anxious that he didn't know what to do when he saw An Lingrong faint. He wanted to follow her, but he was worried about Concubine Hui.
Madam Shen saw her dilemma and said, "Okay Su Ye, go take care of Miss Wen. I'll be here!"
Su Ye bowed and quickly followed!
Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle, Cao Qinmo quickly came to Concubine Hua and said, "Your Majesty, now that Concubine Hui is asleep, Concubine Wan is bedridden, and Concubine Wen is unconscious, this is a good opportunity. Your Majesty must quickly go to the Emperor and plead your case. Insist that you are punishing Concubine Wan and Concubine Wen because they violated palace rules. The Emperor will have a preconceived notion, and even if he punishes you, it won't be too severe. If the three of them unite to attack you, I'm afraid this matter will not end well!"
Concubine Hua said disdainfully: "I have done nothing wrong in this matter, why should I be afraid of them!"
Cao Qinmo was speechless. You are not afraid of anything, but when things become irreversible, you still force me to take risks and find a solution!
"Your Majesty, Concubine Hui has made great contributions in giving birth to the prince, and the Emperor loves the Sixth Prince. It is also true that Concubine Wan had a miscarriage, and it is not certain whether Concubine Wen can survive! If we seriously consider it, Your Majesty is ultimately in the wrong!"
Concubine Hua thought about it and nodded helplessly.
