Chapter 117 An Lingrong 58
On the other side, Lingrong ate dinner normally and took a walk for half an hour in her Chengqian Palace. After making sure that the emperor had rested in Huafei's palace, she walked into the delivery room leisurely.
"Is the Queen about to give birth?" He Ronglu immediately became nervous. Ziyuan and Biqing behind her turned around and were about to call the midwife.
"Don't worry, it's just labor pains. First tell the Queen that I'm going to give birth. Also, tell her casually that you went to Jingren Palace as soon as possible. Then ask the Queen not to alarm the Emperor." Ling Rong instructed the youngest Ziyuan, and she could hardly hide the panic on her face.
Lingrong had used this kind of medicine before, and estimated that her period from regular contractions to delivery would not exceed five hours. She had just walked here and felt that her cervix was about one finger dilated.
Naturally, there wouldn't be any accidents with the system's medicine. Ling Rong's experience with giving birth to three children also made her much calmer. She looked at Ziyuan, who seemed even more nervous than she was, and smiled gently, "Go, come back soon. I can't leave you here."
After Ziyuan trotted away, she lay down on the bed and slowly gave instructions: "Biqing, have Xiao Jinzi go get the imperial physician, and Xiao Youzi go get the midwife. Tell Feng Sanman to secure the yard tightly and not let any evil spirits in. Then go to the kitchen and bring a bowl of the brown sugar millet porridge that we've prepared."
Although Rong Lu, the oldest, had never given birth, she had experienced many. Seeing her master so organized and calm in the face of danger, she felt relieved.
When they were the only two left in the room, she hurriedly helped to undress Lingrong. Seeing that her underwear was already stained with blood, she quickly covered Lingrong's belly with the bright red bed sheet, still feeling a little scared.
"The midwife is here!"
Xiao Youzi arrived very quickly, and eight midwives surrounded him. The entire Chengqian Palace immediately began to move at high speed with Lingrong as the center.
Not far away in Jingren Palace, the Empress wore a headband and couldn't stop smiling. "Great! This is truly God's help to me. Jianqiu, are you sure it was Jiang Fuhai who went to call the imperial physician first?"
"Yes, Jiang Fuhai ran there as soon as the queen gave the order. When he called the imperial physician out, he happened to run into Xiao Jinzi." Jianqiu replied with a smile, obviously gloating.
The queen glanced at herself, who was pale and sweating all over, and nodded with satisfaction: "Take the imperial physician and let's go."
"Yes, my lady."
When the concubines from various palaces arrived after hearing the news, they saw the queen in the corridor with a pale face, half lying on a chair. Jianqiu beside her looked anxious, but didn't know what to do.
In the delivery room, only the midwives' encouraging voices could be heard, and not a single cry from Lingrong could be heard.
This made Zhen Huan and the others who came over think that Ling Rong had some kind of accident during her pregnancy. Zhen Huan completely collapsed on Jin Xi and walked to the Queen, almost whispering, "What happened?"
"Greetings to... the Queen. How is Rong-Rong'er..."
Jianqiu hurried over and said, "Princess Yi has just started giving birth. I'm afraid there's still a lot of waiting to do."
Realizing that Lingrong was fine, Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief. The Queen, half lying on the chair, frowned tightly. When she heard the voice, she reluctantly opened her eyes: "It's... Wanpin."
"Yes, why does your Majesty look so haggard?"
"The Empress had a headache and wanted to call the imperial physician, but Jiang Fuhai only brought back Imperial Physician Li, and he also said that he ran into Xiao Jinzi from Chengqian Palace who was also looking for an imperial physician. The Empress knew that Concubine Yi was about to give birth, so she sent the imperial physician directly, but she didn't treat her herself."
As Jianqiu spoke, her eyes were red, and she was obviously worried about her master.
"This... why don't you ask the imperial physician to see it first? The Empress's health is of paramount importance." Xin Changzai asked in surprise from behind.
"This is an old problem of mine, but since this is Concubine Yi's first birth, there can be no mistakes. If I ask Imperial Doctor Li to treat her, it will take an inordinate amount of time. How can the heir to the throne wait that long?"
The queen held her head, and her makeup was a little smudged due to the pain.
"Well, doesn't the Imperial Medical Service have eight doctors on duty?" Concubine Jing understood the meaning of the Queen's words and was even more surprised.
"This afternoon, General Nian said his wife had a sudden illness, so he sent for all the doctors on duty at the Imperial Hospital. Only the two doctors who were attending to the Empress Dowager were still there, and they were absolutely not allowed to be moved. Furthermore, only Doctor Li, who was in charge of Concubine Yi's pregnancy, had escaped and was not taken away."
How could Jianqiu look like the queen's maid at this moment? She was clearly a pathetic punching bag.
But this show of weakness was indeed effective. At least everyone present felt that it was outrageous and outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.
"The Queen Mother of a nation fell ill and had no imperial physician to treat her. This is simply...absurd!"
Zhen Huan also frowned. "They actually let the Empress and Concubine Yi share the same imperial physician. The Nian Mansion is truly so powerful."
"Send someone to call back the imperial physician from the Nian Mansion."
Now that the Queen is unable to manage affairs, Concubine Jing, who is the chess piece supported by the Emperor to check and balance Concubine Hua, naturally cannot remain immune, so she simply lets Jianqiu go find someone.
"We've already sent someone there, but the Nian family said the lady is seriously ill and that if she can't be cured, they won't let the imperial physician return."
"Well, there must be other imperial physicians. Right now, there's only Imperial Physician Li in the palace. If it's Concubine Yi or the Empress... what will they do?"
"The palace gates are now locked. If we send someone to invite him again, I'm afraid it will alarm the emperor."
At this moment, Rong Lu, who walked out of the delivery room, was immediately surrounded by people.
"How is Rong'er?" Zhen Huan glanced inside anxiously, wishing she could rush in and be with her.
"Everything is going well for our queen now, please rest assured, Concubine Wan." He Ronglu bowed to the queen and said, "Our master said that the queen is not feeling well. Please return to the palace first, otherwise she will be worried."
The queen waved her hand and was about to refuse, but suddenly she shook all over and fell on Jianqiu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, hurry up and send someone to invite other imperial physicians from outside the palace immediately!" Concubine Jing made a prompt decision and ordered someone to carry the queen back to Jingren Palace.
"No... no, you can't disturb the Emperor and affect his handling of government affairs."
He Ronglu, who was standing next to her, also said, "Our queen has also said that we must not disturb the holy carriage."
Just like that, after about two hours, Ling Rong's slight cry of pain was finally heard from inside.
Concubine Xin and Chun'er, who had long been unable to bear it, were sent back by the Queen. Just as she was about to continue persuading the pregnant Zhen Huan to go back and rest, suddenly a baby's cry pierced the sky.
"It's born, it's born!" The midwife held the baby happily. "Weighing 6.2 jin (100 grams), it's a healthy boy!"
