"Of course, stab it to death. Before it dies, cut off its limbs, then cut open its belly and gouge out its eyes..."
The rabbit shrank back in its cage, its eyes filled with fear.
The maid trembled all over: "My lady, you are pregnant. Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Go get it!" Murong Wan slapped him across the face. "You, a mere maid, dare to tell me what to do?"
"This servant dares not."
I got the scissors.
She was so frightened by the sight of Murong Wan torturing the rabbit and the pervasive smell of blood that she almost fainted.
Murong Wan sneered, "Mi Shan, does it hurt? Why don't you die like this rabbit? I, carrying the emperor's child, should be the most honored woman in this harem, yet you've stolen my thunder..."
Afterwards, she instructed her maid to bury the rabbit, and if the emperor inquired, to say that it had run away.
The palace servants were deeply moved, all saying how she wasn't afraid of retribution.
Perhaps it really is a sign of divine intervention.
The rabbit that was tortured to death has come to claim its life.
That night, Murong Wan experienced severe abdominal cramps and rolled around in bed in agony.
The Empress rushed over upon hearing the news and summoned the imperial physician.
The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, this is a sign of miscarriage for Consort Murong. The child cannot be kept and must be removed from the mother's body as soon as possible, otherwise it could easily result in the death of both mother and child."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Murong Wan is shouting.
Empress Rouci said, "Don't alarm the Emperor about this matter. Go and seal the palace gates."
Then, she coldly said to the imperial physician:
"I guarantee that this fetus will have a heartbeat when it is delivered. Can you do that?"
"This..." The imperial physician was startled, then nodded with difficulty, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Then, the imperial physician gave Murong Wan a large dose of anesthetic, peeled open her abdomen, and took out the fetus. The moment he saw it, he was not surprised.
This is a deformed fetus, but it still has a heartbeat.
To ensure the fetus did not die, a cesarean section was necessary. However, thanks to the skilled surgical technique of the imperial physician, Murong Wan's life was saved after her abdomen was stitched up.
The empress showed her her child.
"No, this isn't my child! How can it have eight legs!"
“You are carrying a freak. You are not blessed. I will take care of this child for you.” She handed the child to Granny Shen.
Granny Shen quickly carried it back to the palace.
Tongji emerged from the darkness and put it into a bottle filled with warm liquid, as if the fetus had returned to the mother's womb.
Muqing Palace.
Murong Wan cried uncontrollably: "Why, why did this happen? My stomach hurts so much."
"Pain is normal. Because the fetus is oddly shaped, it cannot be removed in a normal way and can only be delivered via cesarean section. Your Highness, you just need to rest for a while. If the pain is too severe, you can apply anesthetic to the wound," the imperial physician said.
For the Queen, having obtained the child, she had no other needs.
He offered a perfunctory word of comfort, then turned and left.
That night.
Murong Wan was plagued by nightmares, dreaming of the dead rabbit and the monster that came out of her stomach, shouting at it over and over again.
One of them yelled at her to give up her life.
One of them cried out to her to save him.
