Perhaps, the imperial concubine really heard Fu Qianyu's words of encouragement, and the person who had been unconscious for a long time finally slowly opened his eyes.
Fu Qianyu burst into tears of joy and hurriedly ordered the imperial physician to bring over the labor-inducing medicine. She fed it spoonful by spoonful to the imperial concubine's mouth, crying and saying, "Gao Yingxue, the child is already at the head. You must not fall asleep. Not for others, but for yourself. I beg you to live for yourself, okay!"
Maybe the medicine worked, or maybe it was for the child.
The unconscious imperial concubine gradually developed a strong desire to survive.
She clutched the quilt tightly, a sharp pain spreading from her lower body to her entire body, as if a raging fire was raging inside her, threatening to burn her to ashes...
"Wow……"
After an unknown amount of time, a faint cry broke the silence of the night.
The midwives shouted with joy: "It's born! The queen has given birth, and it's a princess!"
But amidst the joy, the midwife exclaimed, "Ah, Princess! Princess's hand!"
Fu Qianyu hurried forward to check. The child's face looked normal, but the palm of his right hand was stuck together, and his left hand was a fist without any fingers.
Fu Qianyu knew early on that the child might be born different from ordinary children, but she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.
After calming himself down, he sternly scolded the nanny, "Shut up."
As she spoke, she called over Nanny Xia, who had been serving her that day, and said, "Nanny, please take the child away first. Remember, the princess is in good health and nothing is wrong!"
The nanny nodded and hurriedly carried the child to the ear room.
When Fu Qianyu settled the child and turned to look at the Imperial Concubine, the person in front of her was like a rose that had lost its moisture, withering away little by little.
"Gao Yingxue! Gao Yingxue!"
No matter how Fu Qianyu slapped the imperial concubine's face, she never opened her eyes.
Two imperial doctors came over and tried to insert acupuncture and push the uterus to let the blood flow, but to no avail.
After the consultation, they looked at each other with regretful expressions on their faces.
Doctor Xun bowed to Fu Qianyu and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine doesn't have much time left. I'm afraid she has something to say to the Emperor. Why don't you invite the Emperor in?"
The palace maids were busy cleaning the delivery bed, but Fu Qianyu felt a buzzing in her ears and could not hear anything.
This is the first time she has faced death so seriously after being in this world for so long.
It's not fear, it's just regret!
Such a vibrant life.
She obviously cares so much about the child.
She was clearly hoping that her child would call her mother...
Fu Qianyu couldn't help sobbing, and tears fell like a dam breaking.
Lingyun sobbed and came up to persuade, "Your Majesty, please ask the Emperor to come in and see the Imperial Concubine for the last time."
"Go and invite the Emperor in."
"yes."
When Zhao Yuancheng came in, the bloodstains on the bed had been cleaned up, and the imperial concubine had been changed into her favorite clothes.
Shuqing knelt beside the bed like a puppet.
Zhao Yuancheng sat down beside the bed and looked at the person on the bed. He felt his breath tighten. He held the Royal Concubine's skinny hand in his palm and said gently, "Xue'er, it's me."
The imperial concubine's life had come to an end, but Fu Qianyu saw that the hand held by the emperor trembled slightly, and tears overflowed from her tightly closed eyes.
Zhao Yuancheng could feel the imperial concubine's hand moving slowly in his palm, and he spoke with difficulty: "Master, Master..."
He understood her regret and her inability to let go. He leaned over and whispered softly into the Imperial Concubine's ear, "Don't worry, our child, I and the Imperial Concubine will take good care of her."
Tears rolled down her face, the imperial concubine opened her mouth and took her last breath.
Doctor Xun hurried forward to take the Imperial Concubine's pulse, then he fell to the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has passed away!"
April is a good time for spring flowers to bloom.
However, due to the death of the Imperial Noble Consort, spring had been delayed in entering the palace. Zhao Yuancheng was deeply saddened by the Imperial Noble Consort's untimely death, so he stopped attending court for five days, issued an edict to give the Imperial Noble Consort the posthumous title of Anxian, and personally moved the coffin into the imperial mausoleum.
Due to the Imperial Noble Consort's last wish, the Fourth Princess was sent to Huayang Palace the day after she was born, but because the child was born prematurely, she was too weak.
On the seventh day after the imperial concubine passed away, the princess died and followed her mother.
Watching her child die, Fu Qianyu could not bear the heavy blow and fell ill, staying bedridden for several months.
By the time I recovered, it was already summer.
On this day, the Empress Dowager issued an edict inviting all the concubines to Ci'an Palace to listen to opera in order to ease the sad atmosphere in the palace.
Since Fu Qianyu has recovered, she has to go.
As Peirong helped him dress, she couldn't help but sigh, "The Duke's Mansion heard that Imperial Noble Consort Anxian passed away young, and the Duke's wife cried so hard that she almost went blind."
"It is the greatest pain in the world for an old man to see his child die young. How could an old man not be heartbroken with just this one beloved daughter?"
Lingyun sighed, "If the princess could stay, it would be a relief for the Duke and his wife in their grief over the loss of their daughter, but unfortunately..."
At the end of her speech, Lingyun couldn't help but choke up.
Fu Qianyu said, "The Empress Dowager invited all the concubines to Ci'an Palace to listen to an opera today in order to appease the sad atmosphere in the palace. If you go with red eyes, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will be unhappy later."
"Yes, I understand."
By the time she arrived at Ci'an Palace, most of the concubines had arrived. When they saw her enter, they all stood up and saluted. Only Concubine Mi sat quietly on a chair, slowly drinking tea, and said lazily, "Your Highness, I am not feeling well and cannot get up. I hope Your Highness does not mind?"
Fu Qianyu smiled slightly, not taking it to heart, and just said: "Of course I don't mind, just don't be rude in front of the Queen Mother later."
Mi Fei snorted and turned away. Soon, the empress dowager came out, supported by Nanny Song.
After everyone had saluted, she smiled and said, "The weather is hot, it's rare that it's cool these few days, so we can sit together and talk."
Concubine Mi was sweet-mouthed. After glancing at Fu Qianyu, she coaxed the old lady and said, "It should be you, the concubines, who are coaxing you into playing, but since the death of Imperial Noble Concubine Anxian, the Imperial Noble Concubine has been unhappy. The concubines dare not make the Imperial Noble Concubine sad again at this critical moment."
What she meant was that Fu Qianyu only cared about her own sadness and did not care about the empress dowager's reputation.
Fu Qianyu was about to stand up to explain, but she heard the Queen Mother say kindly, "The Imperial Noble Consort died young. Not to mention the Imperial Noble Consort, even I am sad."
"The Imperial Concubine has to handle all the affairs of the palace and take care of the Duke's Mansion all by herself. It's really hard. She has been very tense during this period. I just want her to relax a little."
Fu Qianyu stood up and thanked her, "Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Please sit down. I know you are sad, but you should also take care of your body."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
On the stage, the noisy sound of gongs and drums had already begun to sound. Everyone was watching the play with peace of mind. Not long after, a palace maid came in to report, joyfully saying, "Empress Dowager, someone from Prince Gong's residence just came with the good news. They said Concubine Fu gave birth to a son safely half an hour ago."
