Chapter 130 Concubine Yan is pregnant
Imperial Physician Li hurried over and was about to salute everyone, but Xiao Heng couldn't wait to ask him to take Concubine Yan's pulse directly.
Yan Jieyu's heart sank, and she stretched out her hand nervously but expectantly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Concubine Yan.
There was silence in the hall, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Bai Jieyu stroked her lower abdomen and stared at Yan Jieyu's hand.
After a moment, Imperial Physician Li untied the silk handkerchief and said to Xiao Heng, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Concubine Yan is one month pregnant."
Note: [The date of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, not the day of conception.]
Xiao Heng was immediately overjoyed: "Very good!"
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone in Jinyuan Palace will be rewarded generously."
"Li Yanxiu, I order you to personally take care of Concubine Yan's baby and ensure the safe birth of the royal heir."
The concubines' faces turned pale as they stared blankly at Xiao Heng, who looked so happy.
This is the first time in history that the emperor has attached so much importance to an unborn child.
She is just a concubine who has just entered the palace for a month, but the emperor dotes on her to this extent.
If she gives birth to a prince in the future, will there still be a place for them in the harem?
Yu Fei clenched her hands tightly, as if something was blocking her throat, causing an indescribable sourness that gradually spread to the tip of her tongue.
She cleared her throat and looked at Concubine Yan.
Concubine Yan bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Seeing her kneeling, Xiao Heng stopped her and said, "You are not feeling well, so you don't need to bow from now on."
Bai Jieyu's eyes suddenly tightened and she looked at Xiao Heng in surprise.
She always thought she was somewhat favored.
But Xiao Heng's words hit her heart hard.
Her belly was bulging and she was about to give birth, but she had never been given the honor of not being saluted.
As for Concubine Yan, she felt unwell as soon as she became pregnant.
Then what am I?
Could it be that she is pregnant with a lump of gold and I am pregnant with a lump of silver?
A fire of jealousy seemed to be burning in her belly, making her want to punch Concubine Yan hard in the stomach.
She suddenly stood up and wanted to leave, but unexpectedly a hot stream flowed out from under her body.
Accompanied by a burst of severe pain, Bai Jieyu's face turned pale instantly and her legs trembled.
"ah……"
Hearing the cry of pain, Xiao Heng was suddenly startled and quickly came back to his senses from his joy.
"Imperial Physician!"
Imperial Physician Li rushed forward to check. The moment he felt the pulse, his face changed: "Your Majesty, Concubine Bai is about to give birth."
"Is the delivery room ready?" Xiao Heng asked hurriedly.
The maid supporting Bai Jieyu quickly replied, "It was prepared a long time ago."
Xiao Heng hurriedly ordered the palace servants to carry Concubine Bai back to the palace, and asked Imperial Physician Li and the imperial physician who took care of Concubine Bai's first pregnancy to go to Mingsexuan to wait.
The Queen was afraid that the birthing scene would scare the pregnant Su Nanqing, Rong Jieyu, Yan Jieyu and others, so she asked them to go back to the palace to rest.
When Liu Yuetang arrived at Mingsexuan, the emperor, empress and high-ranking concubines were already standing in the hall.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, a palace maid rushed up to her in a panic, holding blood.
Fortunately, Liu Yuetang was quick-witted and dodged quickly.
Some of the blood, like a red river, spilled from the basin onto the ground, and the smell of blood was pungent and disgusting.
Liu Yuetang quickly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
No wonder the queen didn't allow pregnant concubines to come. Such a scene would make her feel uncomfortable, not to mention them, even she would feel uncomfortable seeing it.
She walked into the hall, where Xiao Heng and the queen were both sitting with serious expressions.
There was no movement in the delivery room, not even the woman's moans.
As time went by, Xiao Heng's brows furrowed more and more, and he seemed uneasy. He ordered Doctor Xiao behind the screen to come.
After Doctor Xiao came over, Xiao Heng hurriedly asked, "How is Concubine Bai?"
Doctor Xiao bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although Miss Bai gave birth half a month earlier than expected, the fetus is already full-term, so I think there will be no serious problems."
Xiao Heng felt a little relieved and waved his hand to let him go.
Inside the palace, Concubine Bai's face was distorted with pain, and her hands were tightly clutching the quilt.
The pain in my abdomen was like a surging tide, one wave after another, each time more painful than the last, as if it was going to crush my internal organs.
While counseling Bai Jieyu, the midwife took up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Seeing her gritting her teeth and her face turning red and white, the midwife said softly, "My lady, if it hurts, please scream."
Bai Jieyu shook her head in unbearable pain. After the pain subsided, she said, "I can bear this little pain."
"I won't yell and make them laugh."
She often said that the concubines outside were delicate and weak, and even said in front of Liu Yuetang that she would not scream even when giving birth.
If I shout and scream now, won't those bitches look down on me?
She wanted to give birth to the child silently and shock those bitches.
Just as she was thinking about it, a sharp pain came again. Bai Jieyu wanted to reach out and grab the pillow on her head to exert force, but her whole body was soft and she had no strength, and her breathing became rapid.
Seeing that Bai Jieyu didn't exert any strength, the nanny under her hurriedly said, "Young Master, please use more strength. If it hurts, you must use more strength."
Bai Jieyu felt dizzy and said weakly, "I... I can't do anything."
She could feel a sharp pain in her abdomen, so painful that it almost tore her lower body apart, but she just couldn't exert any strength, and the scene in front of her eyes gradually became blurred.
"My lady, what's wrong with you?" Zi Pei saw that something was wrong with Bai Jieyu and quickly knelt down in front of her bed.
Bai Jieyu's body trembled in pain, and Zipei's voice seemed to come from far away, accompanied by tinnitus.
This feeling is like being drugged.
Yes, this feeling is exactly like being drugged.
Otherwise... she wouldn't have suddenly become weak and dizzy.
She gritted her teeth and stared at the midwife in front of her with her red eyes like cold knives.
"You...did you do anything?"
She propped herself up and tried to pull the midwife over, but her body went limp and she collapsed back on the couch.
The midwife was so frightened that her face turned pale. She waved her hands and said, "My lady, how dare I, my servant, I dare not..."
Bai Jieyu endured the piercing pain and pointed at the tea on the table: "Zipei, go... check if the tea is cold."
Zi Pei hurried forward, tremblingly poured some tea into his hands, looked up and said, "Yes, my lady."
"Splash it on my face!" Bai Jieyu used the stinging pain of her nails digging into her palms to keep herself awake.
Seeing Zipei trembling and not daring to splash, she said again: "Hurry!"
After saying that, Zipei picked up the tea and poured it all over Bai Jieyu's face.
Perhaps because the knockout drug had not yet reached her mouth and nose, Bai Jieyu quickly regained consciousness. While her abdomen was no longer hurting, she snatched the teapot from Zipei's hand and smashed it hard on the midwife's forehead.
At that moment, a cut was made on the midwife's forehead and blood slowly gushed out.
"Get out! All of you get out!"
The sharp and high-pitched voice startled Xiao Heng outside. He stood up suddenly and strode towards the delivery room.
"What's going on?"
The two maids stumbled out, sweating profusely, and knelt on their knees, saying, "Your Majesty, the young lady, the young lady has driven all the servants out, saying that she wants to give birth herself."
As soon as the voice fell, Zi Pei came out with red eyes, knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, I don't know what they did to our young lady. Just now... just now she almost fainted."
When the Queen heard this, she was horrified and said quickly, "Fu Liu, go in and take a look."
After giving Fu Liu the order, the Queen quickly asked Zhou Defu to invite Nanny Zhu from the palace.
Nanny Zhu was once Empress Wen Yi's personal maid. She had some knowledge of medicine and had also delivered babies for Empress Wen Yi.
In such a dangerous situation, we can only feel at ease if we send someone who knows the situation well.
Seeing that the royal heir was about to be born, but something went wrong at this critical moment, Xiao Heng's face was as gloomy as steel: "Everything in Concubine Bai's delivery room must be moved out intact and have the imperial physician examine it carefully."
