"If you have anything to say, just tell me now!!"
The emperor was extremely panicked by the midwife's hesitancy and kicked her to the ground in anger.
The poor midwife was so old that she fell down after being kicked so hard. However, she didn't care about the pain at all. She got up again and kowtowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"The Imperial Concubine... The Imperial Concubine..."
"She gave birth to a deformed baby!!"
It was like a loud thunderbolt striking the emperor.
Everyone was stunned by this result. The Queen Mother almost lost her breath and almost fell backwards. Fortunately, the Queen supported her.
"The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother!"
When the air in her lungs gradually settled down, the Queen Mother pointed tremblingly at the distant
"Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
She exhaled deeply
"Send the Third Princess Gu Miao over here!!"
During the time that Gu Miao was here, they all went to see the child.
This was the first time a deformed child appeared in the palace in all these years, and his appearance was quite creepy.
It was hard to describe how he felt. The emperor even felt extremely sad and ashamed that his child was in this state.
Because it was a deformed baby, everyone automatically ignored the fact that it was a boy.
Qianshi fell to the ground with a dazed look on her face. Seeing the emperor's cold expression, her heart began to beat fast.
She kept kneeling down and begging for mercy, but the emperor never even looked at her.
There was blood on her forehead and Qianshi felt dizzy and dazed. When she looked up, she saw the group of kneeling midwives in front of her.
They were also trembling, but Qianshi found something wrong.
"Where's Aunt Chun! Where's Aunt Chun!"
The midwives looked at each other and shook their heads, not knowing where Aunt Chun had gone.
He just assumed that Concubine Ning had given birth to a deformed baby and escaped punishment.
No one was willing to see the child, so Qianshi could only hold him tightly in her arms, listening to the child's weak voice, and kowtowing with tears in her eyes.
Gu Miao had not arrived yet, but Gu Qingsheng and Xu Qingyi arrived first.
When the two people came in, everyone was stunned for a moment. Seeing Xu Qingyi coming, the Queen Mother seemed to finally let go of her worries. She looked at the two people and was no longer so irritable. However, there was some questioning in her eyes.
"Changle, I heard about what happened a while ago from your father. It was outrageous. He was such a grown-up and still had a bad temper."
"The Queen Mother."
After paying his respects to the Empress Dowager, Gu Qingsheng looked around. It seemed that the others did not care much about Concubine Ning's matter.
Then he slowly said to the Queen Mother
"I was definitely at fault for what happened last time, so after saying goodbye to my father, I went to the National Temple. I thought I could calm down first. Burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day would help me calm down. That's why I haven't been back."
"Besides, Changle is in the National Temple, so the Queen Mother and father won't worry."
"Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
There was no reason to find fault with this, but the Queen Mother was not in the mood to care about that now, so she sighed.
"What's going on? There are more and more things happening lately."
When Gu Qingsheng arrived, Qianshi seemed to have found a life-saving straw. After she finished talking to the Queen Mother, she threw herself at her feet.
"Princess! Princess! Princess Changle!"
"Please save the prince! Please save the imperial concubine!"
She knelt at Gu Qingsheng's feet, and looking from Gu Qingsheng's direction, she could just see the child's speechless face.
I thought Princess Changle, who was used to seeing beautiful things, would react with disgust like the emperor and empress, but unexpectedly her eyes were full of pity, and she took the child from Qianshi's hands and held him very gently.
"Oh, how pitiful."
"What's so pitiful!"
The queen said in a sarcastic tone
"This dynasty hasn't had a child like this for so long, and now that he appears in this era, I'm afraid he's cursed!"
"His appearance will not bring disaster to us, right?"
Concubine Ning gave birth to a deformed child, and she was more proud and happy than anyone else.
The two people's families have the same background and power. Recently, Concubine Ning's family has a tendency to overshadow their family. If another son is born at this time, it will not be a good thing for the queen.
Now all he showed was worry.
However, after hearing her words, the emperor fell silent. He always believed these things. His eyes flashed and he looked at the child, then glanced at Xu Qingyi as if to know the truth of her words.
"What nonsense!"
The Queen Mother spoke first in a cold voice.
"The Emperor is a wise and virtuous ruler, and has been diligent and hardworking since ascending the throne. How could he be cursed? You are talking nonsense! Queen! You are becoming less and less rigorous!"
Hearing that the Queen Mother was angry, the Queen lowered her head anxiously.
"I was also anxious for a moment..."
"No."
Xu Qingyi interrupted at this moment, and his voice seemed to have some magic that made everyone present quiet down.
"There won't be any curse, it's just a child."
"However, as the Queen Mother said, the Emperor has been diligent and has done many good deeds during his reign. Logically, he should have a healthy son."
"I took the imperial concubine's pulse before, and it shouldn't be like this..."
"The Third Princess has arrived—"
Gu Miao's voice was a little impatient, and he walked quickly. After entering the door, he looked around and saluted the emperor and the empress dowager first. When he saw Gu Qingsheng, he showed a disdainful smile.
"Why, does Concubine Ning need so many people to accompany her during childbirth? Even Changle, who I haven't seen for a long time, is here?"
"Didn't the Queen Mother say that my sister was under house arrest? How did she escape?!"
She was wearing a red dress that showed off her fair complexion. When she smiled, she had a pair of crescent teeth, but the crescent was broken because of the scar on her face.
This Gu Miao was once a sensational beauty, but she brought disaster upon herself.
If Su Huai had not been tortured, how could he have ended up like this?
Gu Qingsheng didn't say anything, but just hugged the child tightly in his arms.
The child was just born and full of milk. He was held by Gu Qingsheng and his moans became much less. Instead, he was sleeping lightly, like a warm stove, if you didn't look at his body and face.
"It's not your turn to criticize her!"
The Queen Mother slammed the table. She was very dissatisfied with Gu Miao's arrogant arrival.
"Noble Concubine Ning gave birth to a deformed baby! Gu Miao! Explain yourself! Did you kill someone again recently?"
Gu Miao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the child in Gu Qingsheng's arms with a sharp gaze, his tone full of energy but very angry.
"The Empress Dowager is really slandering me!"
"Because of what the Imperial Master said last time, I broke off my marriage and stayed locked up in my room all day long! How could I kill someone!"
"I broke off the engagement for the sake of the royal heir!"
Gu Miao's teeth clenched as he touched his scar with his fingers.
"I've already sacrificed my own happiness! How can the Empress Dowager make such random guesses?"
