The old lady was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder almost jumped out of her chest!
Oh my god, how can you move just like that?
Still in that position...
Will it ever get better from this?
Seeing that he was in trouble, Jiang Ying slapped Wen Po in the face, "Wake up!"
It's not that she can't do it herself, but her experience in this area is not as good as that of the old woman, and she doesn't know how much force to use.
After an unknown amount of time, the midwives came to their senses. One of them was pulling in front, while the other two were pushing on Concubine Chen's bulging belly. Then, Concubine Chen screamed in pain, and her belly visibly sank.
"It's born! Oh, it's finally born!" The old lady cried out excitedly.
It wasn’t easy, this first child was finally born after much difficulty!
"My queen, it's a boy." Jiang Ying announced the good news with a smile, "He's quite chubby, I guess there's no little prince in your belly to take away nutrients."
Her daughter's loud crying made Concubine Chen burst into tears instantly. She also heard Jiang Ying's words and was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
It was hard to tell the tears and sweat on my face as they gathered together and flowed down.
Just when everyone in the room was smiling, there was a loud knock on the door. Jiang Ying was annoyed, "There's one more, why are you in such a hurry?"
But Concubine Chen teased, "Look, the father must be impatient, but we won't show it to him. Wait until the other baby comes out, and then take them all out."
Then, the old woman turned around and stopped.
Jiang Ying waved her hand and asked someone to bring the ginseng soup again. In front of everyone, she blatantly poured a yellow medicinal powder into it. Everyone was surprised, but said nothing.
Even Concubine Chen did not hesitate and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Ying then explained, "This is an abortion-inducing drug, and it also has a certain effect of restoring vitality. Previously, I wanted you to let nature take its course and be good for the child. Now I know that you don't have much strength left, so let's make a quick decision."
Concubine Chen was overjoyed. "Okay, I don't ask for anything now. I still want to live to see my children grow up..."
These words made everyone present feel sad.
The midwives wiped their eyes and immediately started the second round of delivery, sighing in their hearts, how difficult it is, it is so difficult for women, even for a queen, it is the same.
With the help of Jiang Ying's magic medicine, the second child was born quickly.
The whole process took less than an hour.
It was not until the little prince's loud cries echoed throughout the house that the nannies, Jiang Ying, and Concubine Chen all breathed a sigh of relief.
The big guy was very happy and smiled.
The sound of people banging on the door outside was more like they were going to tear down the house.
Jiang Ying was annoyed, "Knock, knock, knock, if you knock again I'll chop off the handle! The old ladies are washing the babies, wait!"
She was so tired at the moment, so frantic after being frightened, that she didn't care who was outside, the emperor or anyone else.
…
Outside the door.
About two hours ago——
The sun was the hottest in the afternoon, making people drowsy, but the cries of pain coming from the delivery room from time to time kept people on edge.
The emperor became more and more worried as he waited, fearing that Concubine Chen would not be able to give birth to this baby.
This is the child he has been looking forward to for a long time. The more effort he puts into this child, the more he cannot accept any mistakes.
Therefore, he could not suppress his dissatisfaction, remorse, and anger, and shouted "Huang Mingquan"!
Eunuch Huang stepped forward and asked, "What does the emperor want?"
"Go, bring the eldest and second princes to the courtyard of Yuntai Palace, and have them kneel down to pray for the child in the arms of the noble concubine!"
If it weren't for those two rebellious sons, how could the noble concubine have given birth prematurely?
The key point is that the emperor not only hated the two children, he even hated himself. When the incident happened, he was clearly beside the imperial concubine, but he did not protect her at the first time, which made the imperial concubine react faster and push him away.
The gravel hit the concubine's shoulder, causing her to fall, which triggered her miscarriage and led to premature birth.
Previously, considering that the two children were ignorant and busy rescuing them at the first time, the emperor did not punish the two rebellious sons. But now the emperor really could not bear it anymore and had to punish them lightly and admonish them severely to relieve his hatred.
The sun was high in the sky at that moment. When they heard that the two princes were going to be brought in to be forced to kneel, not only Huang Mingquan, but everyone else looked at the emperor in shock.
Yan Zhuo saw some clues, but he did not approve of the emperor's way of handling the matter, and advised: "Brother, there are already enough people and horses in chaos here. If you continue like this, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
The emperor was very determined and ignored the words. "Huang Mingquan, I can't order you to do anything, right?"
Eunuch Huang felt bitter, thinking that no matter how serious the mistakes made by the eldest and second princes were, bringing them to Yuntai Palace at this critical moment and making two 15-year-old children kneel and be punished, how could that be good for the imperial concubine?
Instead, let more people in the harem curse her to death!
After all, the noble concubine was already favored before, and now that she had given birth to a child, she was even more favored. I don't know how many people hoped that she would not be successful. Wouldn't this offend the queen, who had always been neutral, and the concubine Ruan, who had always been noncompetitive?
The emperor must be so angry that he is confused!
While hesitating, Eunuch Huang took a glance and saw Yan Zhuo put his hands behind his back and waved them at him, and his eyes lit up.
He turned around, stopped worrying, and left decisively.
The emperor sat down on the chair in a daze upon seeing this. His eyes were filled with spider-web-like red bloodshot due to lack of sleep, which was heartbreaking to see.
Yan Zhuo was both relieved and regretful at this time. He was relieved that Jiang Ying did not have such a hard time giving birth, but he regretted that he had let a woman down by not being by her side during the most difficult time, leaving her to face it alone.
"Brother, I understand your mood now, but try to think positively. After all, even if you are extremely anxious, it will not help you in any way in terms of having a baby."
Hearing this, the emperor glared at him and said, "It's not that you are a woman, I know, you just talk without any pain in your waist!"
Yan Zhuo, "..."
Isn't he trying to enlighten him? It's really useless to be anxious to death. It's useless to let the two princes kneel down and apologize!
But Yan Zhuo changed his mind and thought that if it was Jiang Ying crying in there now, he would probably be as uneasy as the emperor. However, he would not sit and wait, but chose to go in and work together with Jiang Ying.
