"Your Majesty, the Queen hadn't eaten much at the time. She drank only half a bowl of soup and took two bites of bamboo shoots. After that, she kept talking to me. The mistake was most likely caused by these two things. Please investigate thoroughly."
After Yu Huier finished speaking, at the Queen Mother's signal, someone immediately brought the things up.
"What a coincidence, Your Majesty! The Empress had just started the movement. As soon as I heard what Miss Yu said, I immediately ordered a thorough investigation. However, the remaining food in the small kitchen had been completely disposed of. Not even a tiny bit was left."
"Even the ones on that table, if it weren't for this girl's cleverness, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to stay."
The emperor stared at the dishes in front of him with a gloomy expression.
This is not a coincidence, it is clearly aimed at the royal heir!
"Call Doctor Xu to check!"
Doctor Xu was not good at gynecology, and even less good at midwifery, but the Queen's sudden premature labor was abnormal both explicitly and implicitly. This was a major matter concerning the crown prince, so even though he was not good at it, he still followed suit.
I was waiting outside the hall anxiously, but I didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.
After just a few glances and a sniff, Doctor Xu's expression changed, "Your Majesty, this... this is mixed with Xihua!"
"What is Xihua?"
The emperor frowned. Even people who didn't know much about medicine had heard of some of the famous poisons, but Xihua had never heard of them.
Doctor Xu took a deep breath and said, "Xihua is not poisonous. No wonder the people around the Queen couldn't detect it. It grows on the edge of a cliff and is extremely rare. Moreover, it is not only harmless to ordinary people but also has the effect of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation."
"But if a pregnant woman eats one, I'm not exaggerating, it would be even more severe than swallowing musk and safflower. If the Queen wasn't about to give birth, I'm afraid..."
Doctor Xu did not say the rest of the words, but no one present understood them.
“Oh no!”
Before Doctor Xu could finish his words, the midwife from the inner room came running out in a panic, "The Empress is bleeding heavily, I'm afraid the child can't be saved!"
Upon hearing this, without the emperor's orders, the imperial doctors who were waiting outside rushed into the inner room. The empress dowager's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
"Huan'er, my Huan'er!"
At this time, the emperor didn't care about whether it was auspicious or not, or whether it was rules or not. He ignored anyone's obstruction and walked into the inner room. As soon as he entered, the smell of blood that filled the air made his blood flow backwards instantly.
He walked over to Lin Chunhuan in two steps, looked at that pale face, and felt his heart ache. "Huan'er, Huan'er, you must hold on, you must hold on!"
"You are the best, the best girl in the world. You will be safe. You will."
The emperor didn't even know what he was saying. He just grabbed Lin Chunhuan's unbearably cold hand, trying to warm it up bit by bit.
But it was of no use. The hand was getting colder and weaker.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that we can only save one of you, the adult or the child. Please make a decision quickly."
The sound in his ears was buzzing, and the emperor's eyes were red. "You must protect both adults and children. If even a hair is missing, you will all be buried with me!"
The midwife was so scared that her face turned green.
But the current situation did not allow for any delay, so he simply gritted his teeth and went to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was already shaken to the point of being on the verge of collapse, and now when she heard such news, she felt dizzy and almost fainted. Fortunately, Yu Huier was by her side and managed to hold her up.
"Empress Dowager, the Empress is in a critical moment of life and death. There is no time to lose. You..."
Yu Huier didn't finish her words. Selfishly speaking, she certainly didn't want Lin Chunhuan to make any mistakes. After all, if there was no queen, she, Yu Huier, would never be where she is today.
But Yu Hui'er also understood very well how important the royal heir was to the imperial court, the world, and the country. No matter what she thought in her heart, she could never say this.
The Queen Mother waved her hand at this moment, "Don't say more, I know what's going on."
After the excessive stimulation, the Queen Mother was no longer as panicked as she was at the beginning. She slowly calmed down and regained her calm and steady appearance.
He brushed away Yu Huier's hand and walked quickly into the inner room.
Apart from Lin Chunhuan's weak groaning, there was no other sound inside. The midwife who came to ask about the safety of the baby was anxiously waiting for the answer.
"emperor."
He called out softly a few times, but there was no response. It seemed as if the emperor's soul was no longer in his body. Only a shell remained, staring blindly and lifelessly at the beautiful face on the bed.
"emperor!"
The Queen Mother cried out in a loud voice, but before she could say anything, the Emperor had already come back to his senses, "Your Majesty, there is no need to say anything."
"Bao Da."
The emperor took a deep breath, his eyes gradually firming, "Protect the emperor!"
After getting the OK, everyone got busy.
Lin Chunhuan, lying on the bed, was too weak to hear anything, but the calls of "Bao Da" were clear to his ears.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect the emperor of this world to be so affectionate."
Who is speaking?
Lin Chunhuan forced herself to breathe. She knew very well that if she stopped, she would probably stop for the rest of her life.
However, in her daze, she seemed to hear voices. The voice was clearly familiar, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not remember where she had heard it.
I just subconsciously feel at ease.
Lin Chunhuan didn't know that just after the emperor said the word "protect the emperor", a golden light flashed from outside the door into the inner room and accurately landed in her stomach and disappeared.
At the same time, the midwife exclaimed in surprise, "The bleeding has stopped, and the baby's head has come out!"
"Quick, get some old ginseng and put it under your tongue. If you work harder, maybe both the adults and the children can survive!"
The midwife's words were like a shot of adrenaline for everyone.
"ah……"
Amidst a heart-wrenching cry, the loud crying shattered the sky!
The midwife tidied the child up neatly and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, it's a little prince, and he even has a birthmark on his body!"
However, the emperor half-knelt beside the bed with his whole body stiff, not even looking at the child, but only tightly holding Lin Chunhuan's hand which had not yet warmed up.
Until the Queen Mother came forward in surprise, holding the child, "Emperor, please take a quick look, this... this child..."
"It's just a birthmark. I'll trouble you to take care of the child first. I want to wait for Huan'er to wake up."
The emperor's tone was very calm.
It’s not that he doesn’t like children, but at this moment, seeing his beloved woman so weak, and even almost losing her life giving birth to this child.
He unconsciously developed a slight resistance to the so-called child.
The Queen Mother heard it, but she still insisted, "Emperor, this is a serious matter. You must see it, you must see it!"
Taking a deep breath, the emperor turned his head impatiently to take a look, but after just this one look, he couldn't move his eyes away no matter what.
There was a golden dragon wrapped around the child's entire left arm!
