I originally thought it would be difficult to do anything if the baby was crying, but now that he isn't crying it's a good opportunity. I'll take the opportunity to cover his mouth and nose and then say he was stillborn if he dies.
Thinking of this, she acted quickly, stretched out her wrinkled hands, and silently covered the little prince's face.
She used the skills she had accumulated over the years, gently covering the little prince's nostrils and mouth with her fingers to stop his breathing.
At the same time, the midwife anxiously called for the imperial physician, hoping that he could arrive in time to treat Shen Wangshu's heavy bleeding.
Lian Zhi happened to see this scene when she came in, "How dare you! What are you doing, you vicious woman!"
As he said this, he angrily threw the basin of hot water in his hand to the ground and quickly ran over to grab the child.
The Empress had warned her repeatedly before, telling her to pay attention to the maids and servants in the house, but when she went out to get some water...
Looking at the little prince with a dark face in front of him, Lian Zhi's anger was suddenly ignited, "What did you do to him?"
The old woman was not expecting to be caught. She was shocked and her face turned pale. "I didn't do anything. This is none of my business."
She felt like crying but had no tears. She had just put her hand on him and hadn't started yet when she was caught red-handed.
And the midwife saw this and quickly rushed from Shen Wangshu’s bed to Lian Zhi’s side, “Let me see!”
She took the child from Lianzhi's hands and knew what was going on at a glance.
So she quickly asked another old woman she trusted to hold the child, and then she picked up the little prince's feet and patted the soles of his feet hard, trying to make the little prince cry quickly so that he could breathe.
Seeing that the little prince didn't cry at all, Lianzhi's heart couldn't help but rise. The queen had fainted, and the little prince had been taken care of like this by her. She really deserved to die.
The midwife's hands patted the soles of the little prince's feet again and again, but the little prince still did not make a sound.
Her heart also began to feel heavy. Time waits for no one. If she didn't cry now, it would really be too late.
Therefore, the movements of his hands became more and more urgent.
A moment later, the cry of a baby broke the silence in the room.
The little prince finally burst into tears, making clear and loud cries, each one louder than the last.
Lianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on her face. She gently stroked the little prince's face, her eyes moistening.
It’s great that this little life was finally saved.
The midwife also breathed a sigh of relief, her forehead covered with sweat. She watched the little prince cry loudly, and a surge of joy and pride surged in her heart.
I am the best midwife in this palace and I can definitely snatch the child away from the gates of hell.
At this time, the imperial physician also rushed in and immediately started to treat Shen Wangshu after seeing that he was bleeding heavily.
With the help of the midwife and Lianzhi, Shen Wangshu's condition was gradually brought under control. Although he lost too much blood, fortunately, his life was not in danger.
Everything finally settled down and the atmosphere in the house gradually relaxed.
The little prince's crying gradually subsided, and his eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened. His restless little hands moved around, and he was obviously very curious about everything in the room.
"You stay here and look after the Empress. I'll clean up the little prince and take him out for the Emperor to see!"
As the midwife spoke, she bent down, carefully washed the little prince and changed him into a set of clean clothes.
Lianzhi nodded, and after watching the midwife leave, her eyes were always fixed on Shen Wangshu, fearing that anything might happen.
At this time, the old emperor in the outer hall had already become impatient and had no idea what was going on inside. He wanted to rush in to see what was going on several times, but was stopped by the eunuchs every time.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and the midwife came out holding the little prince.
"Your Majesty is so happy! The Queen has given birth to a little prince for His Majesty!" said the midwife happily.
A happy smile also appeared on the old emperor's face. He couldn't wait to reach out and take the little prince, holding him gently in his arms and looking him left and right.
The old emperor was delighted by the little prince's rosy face and adorable expression.
"Good boy, good boy."
The old emperor murmured, and couldn't help but touch the little prince's face with his hand, which gave him a sense of satisfaction that he had not felt in many years.
After looking at the child for a long time, the old emperor returned the child to the midwife with satisfaction.
"By the way, how is Concubine Shu?"
"The Imperial Concubine has suffered from excessive bleeding and is weak, but fortunately, thanks to the treatment of the old slave and the imperial physician, she is now out of danger. She only needs to rest well and take some nourishing care, and she will recover quickly after the confinement period."
Seeing that Shen Wangshu was fine, the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief, "Good! Reward! I will reward you generously!"
Seeing how happy the emperor was, everyone knelt down to express their gratitude.
After instructing the midwife to take the little prince down to feed him, the old emperor went into the house to see Shen Wangshu.
The Queen subconsciously frowned and exchanged a glance with Concubine Yue. Both of them had doubts in their eyes. What went wrong?
The Queen was a meticulous person and she felt something was wrong at first sight, but she did not point it out. Instead, she turned to look at Concubine Yue, signaling her to be patient and to find a chance to ask later.
Concubine Yue also noticed that something was a little strange, but she didn't dare to act rashly for fear of getting into trouble.
After entering, the queen first glanced at the old woman kneeling on the ground. Seeing her kneeling on the ground with her head buried, she knew something was wrong, so she loudly ordered: "Alright, everyone, please leave first. So many people gathered here and disturbed Concubine Shu's rest."
Everyone agreed to what was said and left the house one after another.
