Concubine Xin continued, "I have never smelled this kind of incense before. I heard that Your Majesty can't stand the pungent incense these days.
The Emperor then had new incense made for the Empress to fumigate her clothes. Is this the one she used on her clothes? The Emperor truly values the Empress."
There are countless words like this around the queen at this moment.
Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian, who were at the end, glanced at each other secretly. The Queen was really good at winning people's hearts.
Except for a few people who didn't come forward, Concubine Jing was one of them. She has always been like this and there is nothing strange about it.
Li Changzai is so low-key that she seems like an invisible person. Even if she wants to get close to them, those people probably won't accept her, so she doesn't want to make things awkward for herself.
There are also Ning Yuxi and Concubine Xian, and... Concubine Xiao who is watching all this silently in the corner.
After a while, Ning Yuxi saw Snowball in the flowers not far away. It was hard not to see that (fat) body.
At this time, most people were surrounding the queen, so Ning Yuxi pulled Concubine Xian forward to greet Snowball. Snowball didn't know whether he still remembered her or was just being familiar with her, but when he heard her greeting, he ran to Ning Yuxi and meowed.
Concubine Xian was not interested in cats, so she watched her interact with Snowball with a helpless smile.
Ning Yuxi petted the cat for a while. Snowball was really good at acting coquettishly. Ning Yuxi couldn't help but pick it up. It took her quite a bit of effort.
As soon as she held Snowball in her arms, Ning Yuxi's nose was hit by a faint fragrance. Fortunately, Ning Yuxi had a sensitive sense of smell, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to smell it.
Ning Yuxi frowned slightly. This fragrance was unusual.
It’s a bit like... Ning Yuxi thought about it carefully, and it’s a bit like the scent of a flower called Qi Mi.
She knew about this flower when she was making skin care lotions and perfumes. She wanted to develop new perfumes, so she looked through books everywhere to find flowers with good smells that were unique to this place.
At that time, she saw a flower called Qi Mi in the book. She thought the name was very strange, and the book recorded that the scent of this flower was light and distant, smelling like the natural fragrance of plants in the world.
Ning Yuxi was very curious about the smell of this flower, and wanted to ask someone to find it. However, after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find the flower.
Later, it was said that this kind of flower was only found in the westernmost part of Dajin, so Ning Yuxi gave up, after all, it was too far away.
When Ning Yuxi smelled the faint scent on Snowball at this moment, she realized that there really was something that smelled like nature.
She was sure that the smell was not picked up by Snowball from running around in the flowers and grass, because although the smell was very similar to the fragrance of plants and trees in nature, there was still a difference, and it could be smelled if you smelled carefully.
She was eighty percent sure that the scent on Snowball came from the mysterious flower.
The remaining 20% is reserved, because she wants to keep a low profile.
However... she seemed to remember what was recorded in the books, that the characteristics of Qi Mi were not very good. As for how it was recorded, she could not remember it very well, after all, it had been some time.
As she was trying hard to recall, Snowball suddenly jumped out and disappeared into the depths of the flowers in the blink of an eye.
Ning Yuxi was wondering why Snowball suddenly ran away. When she turned around, she saw Concubine Xin's maid calling Snowball everywhere not far away.
It turns out that you saw someone coming to catch you and took you back. No wonder you suddenly ran away.
Ning Yuxi smiled and shook her head, but when she thought of the inexplicable mysterious fragrance that appeared on Snowball, Ning Yuxi frowned slightly again.
She thought that she would find the book when she returned to the palace and look up the characteristics of the Qimi flower. She really couldn't remember it, but it shouldn't be that bad.
Because if its properties were good, she would have asked her brother to send people to the west to look for it and make perfume. One of the reasons why she didn't send people to the west to look for it was that its properties were not very good and it was not suitable for making perfume to be applied on the body.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the circle of concubines in front.
Then there was the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by a woman's scream of pain. A palace maid shouted urgently, "The Empress... The Empress has fallen down! Help! The Empress has fallen down!"
The crowd instantly became chaotic, everyone looked at the queen who had fallen to the ground in panic. After a brief silence, someone shouted, "Imperial Physician... Go call the Imperial Physician!"
The crowd started moving again, and everyone hurriedly helped the queen up. The queen's face was covered in cold sweat and she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
After everyone helped her up, they saw a pool of bright red blood on the ground, and the clothes behind the queen were also stained red.
There was another round of panic: "Ah! The Queen... The Queen is bleeding!"
Perhaps due to excessive pain, the Queen suddenly fainted. Her maid Rong Xin turned pale with fear. She forced herself to calm down and said anxiously:
"Quick, quickly help the Empress into the bedroom. Run'er, go get the imperial physician. Min'er, go get the midwife. Suxin, go get the Emperor. Quick, quick."
The queen is only eight months old now, and it is obvious that she is going to give birth prematurely. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell, and premature birth is even more dangerous.
Rong Xin forced herself to calm down, and although anxious, she still ordered the palace servants to call people in an orderly manner.
After everyone carried the unconscious queen into the bedroom, the concubines surrounded her one by one, each of them feeling uneasy, after all, they were the closest to her just now.
It is obvious that the Queen is going to give birth prematurely this time. It would be fine if both the adult and the child are saved, but if one of them is not saved or if neither of them is born... then none of them will be able to escape.
Rong Xin frowned tightly as she looked at the concubines who were gathered here anxiously. They were really a nuisance and could not help here, only causing chaos.
The Queen was in such a state that Rong Xin could no longer care about them. She said in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait outside the palace. Gathering here might disturb the Queen!"
Hearing this, the concubines looked at each other and had to go out as they were told. After all, the Queen's condition was really not good at the moment, and everything now came first for the Queen.
Not long after the concubines left the hall, a large group of imperial doctors came in hurriedly. It was estimated that most of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau had arrived, and the four midwives who had been prepared early had also arrived. After all, the Empress had given birth prematurely, and they would all be in trouble if anything unexpected happened.
