Chapter 500 He's in a coma.
Xie Shang took the child and held him in his arms. Looking at the fair and adorable baby in the swaddling clothes, he saw that the baby was not crying or making a fuss, just like Xie Hongyou when he was a child.
Xie Shang carried the child to Jiang Fenghua's bedside. "Ruan Ruan, open your eyes and look at him."
Jiang Fenghua lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed, unable to hear anything he said.
Xie Shang's eyes seemed to be filled with tears. He was filled with self-blame and regret. He shouldn't have left Shengjing and shouldn't have investigated her.
However, no matter what he said to her, Jiang Fenghua showed no sign of waking up.
Standing by the door, Granny Wang saw everyone in the room crying. Without hesitation, she left the bedchamber and headed towards the side hall. Finding the eldest prince and princess, she said to them, "Come with me quickly and go see your mother. She has given birth to a little brother, but she is asleep now. Go and wake her up." Granny Wang was also afraid of frightening the children.
Didn't Physician Mei just say that Her Majesty the Empress is not in mortal danger? That is to say, Her Majesty is just unconscious. Her Majesty loves her child the most, and perhaps the child can wake her up.
"Mother has given birth to a little brother!" Xie Hongyou said happily. "I have a little brother now."
"Mother said she would give Yan'er a little sister," Xie Ziyan said. "Mother is biased and only gave Xiao Youyou a little brother."
Granny Wang's eyes immediately reddened. "Her Majesty will definitely give the princess a little sister in the future. Princess, why don't you go and wake up your mother first?"
"Okay." Xie Ziyan's eyes were full of joy. "If Mother wants to stay in bed, I'll go and wake her up to study."
Xie Ziyan and Xie Hongyou were led into the bedchamber. They walked up to Xie Shang and said, "Father."
Xie Shang came to his senses, "Yan'er, You'er."
Xie Ziyan opened her beautiful eyes wide. "Why is Father crying?" She looked at the baby in his arms, her eyes full of questions. "Why didn't Mother give birth to a little brother? I want a little sister like Huanhuan to play with me."
Xie Hongyou climbed to the bedside, saw that his mother was asleep, and made a "shh" gesture to everyone, "Don't disturb Mother's sleep, Mother is very tired."
Xie Ziyan said, "Granny Wang said she's going to wake Mother up, Xiao Youyou, hurry up and wake Mother up!"
"The Empress Dowager said she was very tired and wanted to sleep."
"Mother, don't sleep. You need to read to Yan'er."
"Mother is tired, let your brother read to you."
"No, I want my mother..."
The two siblings started arguing in front of the bed.
Xie Shang placed the child next to Jiang Fenghua. She loved her child the most, and perhaps she would wake up when she heard the child's voice.
The fourth prince burst into tears, and Xie Ziyan and Xie Hongyou went to comfort him, holding his little hands, "Yuan'er, don't cry, sister will play with you."
The fourth prince was indeed obedient and immediately stopped crying.
Xie Shang asked, "Who is Yuan'er?"
Xie Hongyou said, "My little brother, Mother said that if she gives birth to a brother, he will be named Yuan'er, and a sister will be named Yue'er. Granny Wang said that he is a little brother, and Xiao Yanyan calls him Yuan'er."
Xie Shang was stunned. "Did your mother tell you all this?"
Xie Hongyou blinked his big eyes, "Mother told Xiaoyan and Xiaoyouyou, didn't Mother tell Father? Father hasn't come to play with us for a long time, we all miss Father."
Xie Shang had indeed not been to Chenxi Palace for a long time. He used being busy as an excuse. She had never talked to him about these things, not even discussing them. Did she not want to talk to him, or did he not want to listen to her?
When Lin Yu saw the unconscious Jiang Fenghua, a surge of hatred rose in her heart. Thinking that the Empress Dowager was still looking for women for him outside the palace, she felt sorry for Jiang Fenghua. Why should she have to have his child and risk her life to have his child? Was it worth it?
Jiang Fenghua, wake up! Is it worth it?
Tears streamed down her face. When had Jiang Fenghua ever looked so pale and powerless? She must not like this feeling of being at the mercy of others, being bullied and having no resistance. She wanted to wake up and protect her child and her family.
She stared at the group of concubines in the harem, each one a wolf in sheep's clothing, each wanting her life, the emperor's favor, and to climb to the highest position.
Jiang Fenghua, wake up!
Lin Yu's eyes were filled with coldness as she suddenly asked, "Does Your Majesty regret it?"
Xie Shang hadn't even bothered Lin Yu yet, but his eyes were deep and his anger was blazing. "What do you mean? What have I done that I need to regret, that you need to blame me on her behalf?"
Seeing that her sister was about to anger the Emperor, Aoxue quickly spoke up to stop her, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Ayu didn't mean anything by it; she's just too worried about the Empress."
"Get out of here, all of you!" Xie Shang's eyes were bloodshot, filled with boundless rage.
In an instant, the entire palace fell silent. No one dared to utter a sound. The emperor was furious, and no one dared to approach. They all left.
Knowing that the Empress was out of danger, Imperial Physician Mei took his medicine chest and took his leave.
Xie Ziyan and Xie Hongyou were so frightened by the emperor's roar that they burst into tears, and even the fourth prince on the bed started crying.
Granny Wang quickly ordered someone to take the little princess and the little prince away, and Granny Wang picked up the fourth prince and also left the palace.
She knew there must be a reason why the Emperor hadn't come to Chenxi Palace for so long. Although the Empress never said anything and always acted indifferently, how could she, as the Empress's closest attendant, not understand?
The late emperor had feelings for the empress dowager but was completely indifferent to her, and the empress dowager didn't have much affection for the late emperor either. The two lived a very ordinary life together, but the emperor did have feelings for the empress!
Once the children were taken away together, the bedroom fell silent instantly.
When Jiang Fenghua gave birth to the fourth prince, the servants helped her clean up, changed her into clean and comfortable clothes, and brought her to bed. She just didn't wake up.
The concubines outside the main hall didn't dare to go in to see either. Granny Wang didn't say anything, focusing solely on taking care of the newborn prince. She believed the Empress would pull through; she was willing to sacrifice anyone but her child.
Granny Wang personally escorted all the concubines who were watching the play away, and only returned to the side hall after Chenxi Palace had quieted down.
She thought: The Empress fainted while giving birth to the Fourth Prince, so the Emperor should feel sorry for her this time!
Hongxiu and Lianye, undeterred by the danger, stayed by her side. The child was born safely, but why was the Empress still not awake?
Inside the bedchamber, Xie Shang stared coldly at Hongxiu and Lianye, "You both think I have wronged your master, right!"
Hongxiu and Lianye immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a single word. Even if the Emperor was angry and wanted to kill them, they would not leave. They could not bear the consequences of losing their young lady if she did not wake up.
Seeing their loyalty, Xie Shang could not suppress his anger. "You are guarding your young lady because you think I will harm her."
The two maids almost crawled on their knees. They had never been so scared. The thought of Zhang Yumo lying on the bed like a living dead person, still not awake, made them afraid that their young mistress would not wake up either.
Xie Shang glared coldly at Ao Xue, "You think so too?"
"This humble servant dares not." Ao Xue also knelt to the side.
