Chapter 396 Yixiu 14
"Lord Beile, how is my sister?"
Yixiu took three or two steps forward, her eyes full of worry. She saluted breathlessly, staggered two steps and almost fell. Fortunately, Jianqiu behind her reacted quickly.
Seeing this, Yinzhen suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "The imperial physician has already gone in. The details are still unclear..."
"I'll go in and accompany my sister first."
Yixiu didn't want to stay here and see Yinzhen's unhappy face, and there would probably be more trouble soon, so it would be better for her to go inside.
After she finished speaking, seeing that Yinzhen had no objection, she quickly supported Jianqiu and walked in.
As soon as I entered the delivery room, the bloody smell in the room became more obvious.
Yixiu walked in following the sound of Rouze's screams and saw two imperial doctors kneeling on the ground with serious expressions. It was obvious that Rouze's condition was not optimistic.
Seeing her enter, the maidservant who was standing by came forward with some vigilance: "This servant pays respects to the concubine. The delivery room is filthy. How did the concubine come in when she is not feeling well?"
"I'll stay with my sister, you can go on your own."
Of course Yixiu saw the vigilance on her face, but she felt at ease. She turned around and sat on the chair next to her, not moving closer. She just watched silently.
She stayed with him for a whole day and night. Due to premature birth and abnormal fetal position, Rouze was about to collapse. She slowly walked over, sat beside the bed, and held Rouze's hand.
"Now I'm afraid...Fu Jin and my brother can only choose one..."
The voice of the imperial physician outside was faint, but Yinzhen's roar was clear.
At this moment, in Yinzhen's heart, there are only the bits and pieces of love he and Rouze had in the past. If Rouze died today, she would become the eternal cinnabar mole in Yinzhen's heart, just like in her previous life.
In fact, this is good for myself.
With the legacy left by her sister Bai Yueguang, all she had to do in this life was to wait for Yinzhen to die by guarding Honghui. Because of Rouze's affection and the fact that Honghui was her legitimate son, she, as the queen, was almost invincible.
but……
Money can't buy my happiness.
Yixiu wiped Rouze's sweat and fed the drop of diluted medicine into her mouth.
It’s not much, just enough to keep her alive and let her get through this time.
If you calculate carefully, it would take nearly twenty years for Yinzhen to become emperor. Before that, being a concubine was a completely thankless task for her.
After all, the mission requires her to be the queen. No matter how well she does as a concubine in charge, the mission level will not be raised. So why doesn't she just be a concubine with a leisurely life?
Shiyue's surprised cry rang in her ears, and Yixiu stood at the head of the bed, watching Rouze regain her strength. Under the guidance of the midwife, she finally struggled for her life and gave birth to a boy covered in bruises.
“This…this…”
The midwife hurriedly carried the baby to the imperial physician, and the two of them took his pulse and felt his heart. After an unknown amount of time, the little prince finally made a sound like a cat crying. Although he was alive, he was visibly weak.
"Once everything is cleaned up, please invite Lord Beile to come in and see the child."
At this moment, the people in Ninghua Hall really felt the benefit of having someone in charge in the room. Yixiu stood there and gave orders casually, but the servants seemed to have a backbone. They all worked in an orderly manner and soon cleaned up the delivery room.
Rouze, who had just given birth, lay on the bed, listening to the prince's voice through the screen and his concern for her. The uneasiness in her heart finally settled down.
Yixiu walked over at the right time with the child in her arms. Yinzhen looked at the child. At least he had a premonition in his heart, so his expression was not ugly. He even reached out and gently touched his son's little face.
"Look, Lord Beile, the child is smiling."
Yixiu saw the corner of the child's mouth twitching, and guessed that Yinzhen's hands were too rough and he was uncomfortable, so she held the child and shook him slightly twice without leaving any trace, and rescued the child from his hands.
Yinzhen felt relieved after hearing her words, but he said, "He's just been born, he's unconscious and doesn't know how to laugh. You're so weird."
Yixiu handed the child to the wet nurse and was about to return it, but she saw the child started crying softly as soon as she let go. Then she remembered that she still had a halo around her, but she was too lazy to hold it, so she just said:
"Hey, Second Prince is hungry, come and take him away."
Yinzhen was watching from the side. Seeing the child being held by the wet nurse with his hands reaching out to her, he smiled and said, "It seems to me that this child is very fond of you and likes you."
"Really? That's not surprising. After all, I'm his aunt."
Yixiu turned the topic to blood ties. Yinzhen looked up and thought about it and felt that it made sense. "Yes, after all, you are sisters. It's normal for the child to be closer to you."
Rouze listened to her husband and sister talking about their children outside through the screen. They were so harmonious and happy, just like a family. She couldn't control the grievances that were surging in her heart. Her eyes became sore again, and she couldn't help but feel angry at herself for being useless. Hundreds of emotions piled up in her heart at once, and the seeds of disaster had been sown for her mental illness.
However, at this moment, the few servants who had followed her since childhood and could persuade her a little were sent back, and Mrs. Juelu, who was supposed to come to the house to accompany her this month, could not come now.
With such a scandal happening in the mansion, how could a man like Yinzhen allow outsiders to come in, even if that person was the mother of the concubine?
So during Rouze's confinement period, she was still served by Aunt Lanyu and her two maids, Shiyue and Lianxing. She had developed various illnesses due to excessive worrying, but let's not talk about them for now. On the second day after giving birth, Rouze finally remembered the evil man who had harmed her. She immediately called Shiyue and asked sternly:
"How did Lord Beile deal with that evil woman, Gan?"
Shiyue knelt on the footstool and paused. She carefully glanced at Fu Jin's gloomy face and replied softly, "The prince had her tied up on the day Fu Jin gave birth. The prince personally sent people to investigate these days. We don't know the details, but we only know that Su Peisheng went to Gan and Miao... Yesterday, they suddenly fell ill and died..."
Rouze's originally hateful expression froze, and all the emotions swirling in her eyes instantly fell back into her heart, making her feel so uncomfortable that she couldn't express it in words.
Gan had harmed her to this point. Even if Rouze had been a kind-hearted woman in the past, she couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart. Coupled with the various stimulations during her pregnancy, she really thought for a moment about severely punishing that vicious woman. However, when she suddenly heard that the evil person who had harmed her to such a situation had died so easily, she did not feel happy in her heart.
Probably because she is not that innocent.
Thinking of the woman's shrill cry of "Give me back my child" when she pounced on her, Rouze silently pulled up the quilt, tucked herself into the warm bed, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Shiyue hurriedly tucked the corner of the quilt for Fu Jin, then quietly retreated and ran into Lianxing who was holding medicine.
"Fujin has finally fallen asleep. Let's bring the medicine in later."
Shi Yue looked at the bowl of black, bitter medicine, her eyebrows furrowed in thought, "Will this medicine really work?"
"...That's better than not drinking, right? Fu Jin suffered a great loss during this childbirth. She was already weak to begin with, and now she's giving birth prematurely. Didn't the imperial physician also say that even if she takes good care of herself, it will probably affect her lifespan, not to mention any signs of pregnancy."
Lian Xing's round face was wrinkled into a bun with wrinkles. Thinking of the sickly Second Prince and the concubine's Prince Honghui, she dared not speak out her thoughts.
"Don't say these words again. Lord Beile has repeatedly ordered us to keep it a secret from Fu Jin. If you really say it out loud, think carefully about what will happen to Madam Yun."
"Of course I know that, but instead of reminding me, you should be more careful. You're always in the front, be careful not to say the wrong thing one day."
