Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Director Liu was embarrassed. "My ladies, it's not that I am unwilling to do anything. I am simply powerless. The Imperial Hospital has exhausted all its prescriptions, but has not yet found a good medicine that can help Concubine Zhao regain some strength."
He shook his head gently, "Although I have good intentions, my medical skills are limited and it is difficult to save the patient..."
The imperial doctors all sighed in unison, proving that what Liu Yuanzheng said was true.
Wu Qing stood up at this time: "Let me go in and see her."
The concubines looked over with different expressions, but most of them were worried.
Wu Qing bowed to the Queen and said, "Your Majesty, you know my medical skills. Why don't you let me in to take a look? Although the imperial doctors are highly skilled, they may have many inconveniences when treating patients due to their gender. Perhaps I can help you a little."
The Queen frowned, "But..."
Her concerns were the same as the imperial concubine's.
Normally, nothing would go wrong for Wu Qing. But this matter involved the prince, and if something went wrong, they couldn't be sure of the emperor's intentions.
...If the emperor is really furious, will he send Wu Qing back to heaven in a fit of rage?
Wu Qing pleaded again, "Your Majesty, I will just go in and take a look. It won't take more than half a minute."
Concubine Lin walked to the side of the Queen.
"Let her go." She said softly, "If anything really happens, we will take care of her, right?"
The Queen's heart was slightly moved. She looked at Concubine Lin, and their eyes met in the air.
The Queen hesitated: "Have you thought it through?"
Concubine Lin nodded, smiling: "The law does not punish everyone. If the emperor gets angry again, can he kill us all?"
Although her words were understated, the hidden crisis should not be underestimated.
The two of them talked in low voices for a few sentences and seemed to have reached some agreement.
The queen finally raised her head and said to Wu Qing: "Go ahead. Whether you succeed or not, just have a clear conscience."
Concubine Lin nodded and gave Wu Qing an encouraging look.
…
In the delivery room.
A huge screen separated Zhao Changzai from the others.
The windows were closed, the sunlight could not penetrate, and the air was filled with blood.
The two maids stood helplessly in front of the bed, repeating the same words and urging Zhao Changzai to keep trying.
The ** Zhao Chang had his eyes half closed and only exhaled half of his breath.
Seeing Wu Qing coming in, Concubine Shu was startled, then asked with both joy and worry: "Why did you come in? Does the Queen know?"
Wu Qing nodded, "The Queen agreed to let me go in and help her."
This was a risk. Concubine Shu understood.
Concubine Shu: "Okay, I'll help you."
Concubine Shu helped to disperse the servants beside the bed so that Wu Qing could be alone with Zhao Changzai.
The maids were eager for someone to take over the mess and did not stop Wu Qing at all.
Wu Qing walked slowly to Zhao Changzai's bedside.
The sound of her footsteps caught Zhao Changzai's attention, but not much.
Zhao Changzai looked at the ceiling and said in despair, "...I've reached the end, right?"
A revolving lantern flashed before her eyes.
The fear of death made her unable to breathe, but the presence of the child in her belly gave her some comfort.
Wu Qing asked her softly: "The question is, do you want to live?"
"As long as my child can survive, I... I don't care." Zhao Changzai murmured.
There were too many people coming and going in the delivery room. Zhao Changzai didn't recognize Wu Qing, nor did she care who Wu Qing was.
No matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, as long as she gave birth to it, it is enough...
Dad, Mom, your daughter has finally lived up to your expectations.
"But the child is definitely not going to survive. Why don't you let me try to save him?" Wu Qing said.
Zhao Changzai: ...?
She opened her eyes angrily.
Who is this person and why is he cursing her child?
Wu Qing coughed and said, "To make a long story short, I am not from the mortal world, but a fairy from heaven. I came to the mortal world this time to experience the calamity of the human world."
"Because you have accumulated a lot of merits, the Heavenly Court felt that you were not destined to die, so they sent me to save you."
"Don't look at me like a fool. Let me prove myself."
Wu Qing said quickly: "You know all the dirty things that Lu promised to do in private. Even so, you don't care. It's just because when you first entered the palace and were desperate and helpless, it was she who lent you a hand and saved you from jumping off the building to commit suicide."
"You ignored the nourishing medicine that the Imperial Hospital carefully prepared for you and didn't even drink a bowl of it."
"You appear to be respectful to Concubine Shu, but in reality you are most afraid of her. You can't sleep every night, fearing that someone will come in and strangle you to death."
Zhao Changzai was stunned when he heard this.
How does this person know everything?
Wu Qing coughed and said, "Do you believe my identity?"
Zhao Changzai had no choice but to believe it, and she nodded with difficulty.
Wu Qing smiled, "Since you believe it, then I will tell you a secret. The emperor is destined to have only three children in this life."
"The elixirs he took have damaged his kidneys, and his body is full of heavy metals. With such a high quality of sperm, the children he gives birth to will either die young or be mentally retarded."
Wu Qing said slowly: "Think about it, if you gave birth to a fool, whose fault would it be? If after you, all the children in the palace became deformed, whose fault would it be?"
Zhao Chang's mind was in a mess. It took a long time for her to react: "It's all... my fault?"
A look of despair appeared on her face.
Wu Qing confirmed her answer: "Yes, anyway, it is definitely not the emperor's problem. Then think about it again, what will happen?"
Zhao Changzai's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible. "I will lose everything I have gained..."
Wu Qing's voice suddenly turned cold.
She said, "That's right. The emperor can't be wrong. You are the one who is wrong."
"No more normal babies are born in the palace. After the diagnosis by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, they found that you are a disaster star that has taken away the dragon vein energy of the Chen Kingdom."
"The Zhao family was massacred because of this, your grave was dug up, and your body was nowhere to be found."
Wu Qing stared at her, "How is it? Do you still want to die?"
Zhao Chang felt a surge of blood.
She opened and closed her lips twice, and said hesitantly: "...I think I can try to save it again?"
Wu Qing was immediately delighted: "Okay! Then I'll go find someone who can save you! Just hold on!"
She walked out of the delivery room, asked Xiahou Cheng to find Miss Zhu from Jingyixuan, and then returned to the room.
