Chapter 123 An Lingrong 64
"It's really one crisis after another." Concubine Jing felt exhausted. This was the first time that so many people lived in her palace.
After she finished her duties and arrived at the side hall, she immediately felt something was amiss. The bloody odor in this room was even heavier than that in Cunju Hall. Ling Rong, who was guarding the outer room, was even more frightened.
"Sister Concubine Yi, your face..."
It's no wonder Concubine Jing was surprised. Lingrong looked like she was seriously ill and dying. But a beauty is a beauty. Even with such a pale face, she had a unique charm.
Ling Rong glanced at her own buff aura of sickness like Xizi, which only had three days left, and coughed twice, holding her chest. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired today."
"Alas, it's hard for you to be troubled by the Imperial Concubine in the open sun just after you came out of confinement today, and you also have to be busy protecting the pregnancies of Concubine Hui and Concubine Wan."
"What have I done? I'm powerless."
Ling Rong seemed to be unable to hold on and swayed for a moment. Concubine Jing quickly supported her and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. The Emperor has already sent someone there. I'm afraid they should be back by now."
"So fast?" Ling Rong glanced at the map and found that it was as fast as in her previous life.
"On the way, we met Prince Guo who was about to leave the palace. He is a man of justice and was willing to go on our behalf when he heard about this matter. It would be more convenient for him to go than for us to send someone."
Concubine Jing obviously did not doubt Prince Guo's character and even felt that she was lucky.
Lingrong also felt that she was lucky. She didn't expect that this civet cat was so capable and came up to her on its own.
Inside the room, Zhen Huan had already fallen into a coma. The imperial physicians, led by Zhang Mi, were pale, and it was clear that her condition was no better than that of Concubine Hui, who had already given birth, and might even be worse.
"Empress Yi, I'm afraid that Concubine Wan's pregnancy will be..." Zhang Mi knelt on the ground, and his words seemed to imply that she should make the decision.
What a joke! This thankless task should of course be left to the father of the person involved.
Lingrong's expression froze, and she clutched Jingfei's hand tightly, as if she were shocked by Zhang Mi's news. She pointed her white index finger at the inner room, tears welling up in her eyes: "No, no..." Her head tilted and she fainted.
The small dot representing the emperor in front of the screen has arrived in Xianfu Palace.
Concubine Jing naturally didn't want to take over this hot potato. She hurriedly supported the fallen Ling Rong and shouted loudly: "Concubine Yi, Concubine Yi! Quick, why don't you come and see what happened to Concubine Yi!"
As soon as the emperor and empress stepped into the house, they were shocked by the tragic scene before them.
The room was a chaotic mess, filled with a cacophony of cries and shouts, and the strong smell of blood made one nauseous. Concubine Jing frantically supported the pale, unconscious Concubine Yi, while seven or eight imperial physicians knelt helplessly not far away.
He almost suspected that he had been fighting for four years instead of just four days outside the palace. Otherwise, how could he have seen such a nightmarish scene?
This is a scene that only exists in dreams!
The Queen tried her best to hide the corners of her mouth that curled up. She had never expected Concubine Hua to be so capable. If she had known she was so useful, why not have she been awarded the title of Concubine earlier?
It feels so refreshing!
"Why don't you help Concubine Yi up quickly and send someone to treat her!" The Queen gave an order, and everyone started to move as if they had just woken up from a dream.
The emperor also walked in and watched Doctor Li carry Concubine Yi away in a sedan chair. He watched the originally noisy room gradually become quiet, but he did not dare to walk into the inner room that had been silent from the beginning, as if it were dead.
"Your Majesty, the heir in Concubine Wan's womb is dead. To save her life, the fetus must be aborted as soon as possible."
Zhang Mi's words seemed to be heard through a curtain. Yinzhen listened with great effort for a long time before he seemed to understand the meaning of his words.
"...When I left, I entrusted Concubine Wan's fetus to you. This is how you take care of the dragon fetus!"
The emperor suddenly woke up, and the eighteen pieces he had been playing with in his hand for many years broke into pieces and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The entire room was hushed by the Emperor's fury. Only Concubine Jing hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Your Majesty is wise. Imperial Physician Zhang has been diligently tending to Concubine Wan's pregnancy. It is truly a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, beyond the power of an Imperial Physician to reverse."
"Yes, the most important thing now is Concubine Wan's health. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible." The Queen also frowned and looked towards the inner room from time to time. She seemed to be very worried about Zhen Huan inside and wanted to go in to visit her.
"...You must protect Concubine Wan's body." After the emperor said this, he slowly walked in.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhen Huan felt as if she had had a very long nightmare. When she woke up, the person she saw was her beloved.
"Hanhuan, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
The emperor's unprecedented gentle attitude immediately relaxed the frightened Zhen Huan. She hurriedly grabbed the emperor's hand and said, "Sister Mei has given birth to a princess for Your Majesty. Has Your Majesty gone to see her?"
"I haven't had time yet." Yinzhen's throat was a little dry. He hurried back after learning from the Seventeenth Prince that Concubine Hua had caused Concubine Hui to give birth prematurely and Concubine Wan to have a miscarriage. Now he had no time to visit Meizhuang and his daughter.
"If it weren't for Concubine Jing and Lingrong today, I'm afraid Sister Mei... Where is Lingrong? She just came out of confinement and her face doesn't look good."
"Rong'er is not feeling well. I let her go back and rest first." As she spoke, the emperor also thought of Lingrong's gray appearance when she was carried away, without a trace of life.
Zhen Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and only then realized that there were too many people here.
Except for Concubine Hua and Cao Qinmo, all the remaining concubines in the harem gathered here.
As smart as she was, she realized something almost immediately.
Zhen Huan hugged her belly fiercely: "My child, my child, is it okay?"
The emperor paused for a long time, then held her hands tightly and said, "We are still young and we can have children."
"...Haaa, haaa...child——!" Zhen Huan collapsed onto Jin Xi behind her, unable to breathe for a moment. She gasped for breath several times, and when she spoke again, her voice was extremely shrill: "My child, our child is gone——!"
The sorrowful and tragic look made even the queen, who was originally happy, feel a chill in her heart.
She thought of her Honghui. On that rainy day, she was also so desperate to see her son's end.
"I know, I know, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you." At this moment, Yinzhen felt the same sense of powerlessness as before. Back then, he was a prince, but he couldn't keep Wanwan and the child. Now, he is the emperor, but he still can't keep her child.
Is this God's punishment for me?
"Your Majesty...the Imperial Concubine is kneeling outside now."
Su Peisheng's words reminded him. Yes, it was not God or me who killed the child, but the vicious woman outside!
