Chapter 1: The Wrong Born
"My lady, is the little princess kicking you?"
"Yes, he kicked me several times, and it made my stomach hurt. Mammy, please send someone to ask Dr. Cheng to come."
"Alas, I will go now.
Chunxi, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for Doctor Cheng. Chunyue will inform Chief Steward Deng and ask him to ask the wife of the Duke of Fuguo to come to the palace."
Chu Qinshu had been successfully reincarnated and was adapting to the new environment, her little arms and legs kicking in the darkness.
She was stunned when she heard the conversation.
Chunxi? Chunyue? Lady of the Fuguogong…
Why do these people look so much like the characters in a book she read in her previous life, "Two Plus One Traveled to Another World to Become Empress".
Didn't we say that you would be reincarnated? How did you end up in a book?
Chu Qinshu was anxious. If she really threw the book into the belly of the Crown Princess, she would be doomed.
The prince and his family in the book are all stepping stones for the heroine's success.
She was the most miserable. She lost her mother when she was born and lived for only one hour before she was regarded as an evil star and burned to death.
This thing has definitely turned to ashes, and there's not even a box left.
In her previous life, she was a special talent enjoying state subsidies.
The benefit of reincarnating with her memories was also given to her by Hades as compensation because she died young at the age of 24 despite her great merits.
If Meng Po had not stuffed a medicine gourd into her hand when she was crossing the Naihe Bridge, how could she have been reborn into the wrong body?
She remembered that when she was choosing the family to be reborn into, as soon as she saw that her father was the Crown Prince and her mother was the Crown Princess, the medicine gourd flashed with golden light and pulled her into the reincarnation well.
By the time she reacted, the baby was already in the Crown Princess's belly.
If she had died before she was born, I wonder if she could enjoy this benefit again?
"Mammy, let's wait for Imperial Physician Cheng to examine her before inviting my mother to the palace. It's getting late, and what if something goes wrong on the way?"
Crown Princess Yu Jinyi leaned against the couch, stroking her belly which was as swollen as a winnowing basket with her hands, with a look of worry between her brows.
She entered the Eastern Palace for eight years and gave birth to the eldest and second legitimate sons for the crown prince, but both babies were born prematurely before they could reach full term.
After she became pregnant, she asked Dr. Cheng to examine the baby, and he confirmed that it was a girl.
After the news spread in the palace, the pregnancy was much smoother than the previous two pregnancies, and the pregnancy reached full term.
But the closer she got to the due date, the more anxious she became, always worrying that something might go wrong.
"Oh, my Crown Princess, the doctor said that the period will start anytime after the full term. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the capital, so I will not feel at ease if I don't invite Madam to come and take care of the situation."
Nanny Yao is forty-six years old this year, slightly plump and kind-looking. She is Yu Jinyi's dowry nanny and has been serving her for more than twenty years.
He is an absolutely loyal servant.
"Forget it, just listen to Mammy."
Suddenly, there was no movement in her stomach. Yu Jinyi felt a little flustered and didn't want to think about it anymore.
After listening to their conversation, Chu Qinshu was sure that she was reincarnated into the world in the book.
I have already started thinking about how I can get myself to invest again.
I heard that... inhaling amniotic fluid into the lungs can cause suffocation, and wrapping the umbilicus around the neck too many times can also cause strangulation.
It’s just that there is meconium in the amniotic fluid. If it is inhaled into the lungs…even though you can suffocate yourself to death, but just thinking about it makes me feel nauseous.
As for the umbilical cord, she tried to grab it with her hands, but her hands were not flexible, so she might have to try a few more times.
"Your Majesty, Doctor Cheng and his female doctor are here."
Chunxi replied outside the palace.
"Please come in."
Yu Jinyi said hurriedly.
"This old minister pays his respects to the Crown Princess."
"This servant pays respects to the Crown Princess."
"Doctor Cheng, there is no need to be so polite. Come and see if there is anything wrong with the baby in my belly."
As soon as Doctor Cheng finished his ceremony, Yu Jinyi stretched out her arm, and Nanny Yao immediately cooperated tacitly by covering her wrist with a silk scarf.
"Doctor Liang, please go check the pregnancy for the Crown Princess."
All the imperial physicians in the palace were men, and each palace would be assigned a fixed female physician to treat the pregnant concubines.
The imperial physician was responsible for taking the pulse, and the female physician was responsible for palpation.
When Chu Qinshu heard that it was Doctor Liang, she was so scared that she dared not move.
The book says that this female doctor Liang was the empress's person and was the culprit who caused Jinyi to die of hemorrhage during childbirth.
[Mother, you must stay away from this Liang doctor. She was sent by the queen to harm you.]
Yu Jinyi had just been helped into the inner room and was about to lie down for Doctor Liang to examine her when she was startled by the sudden voice.
"My Lady Crown Princess, just lie down flat on your back."
Doctor Liang saw Yu Jinyi sitting on the bed without moving and reminded her softly.
"My lady, are you feeling unwell again?"
Aunt Yao also became nervous.
[Mother, you must not drink the medicine that Doctor Liang brought you. You will die if you drink it.]
Chu Qinshu kept shouting in her heart, hoping that the mother and son would be connected and that Yu Jinyi would be responsive to her thoughts.
Although she didn't want to be born alive, she still hoped that her mother, who had gone through so much trouble to give birth to her, could survive this disaster.
Yu Jinyi looked around and saw that there were only her, Nanny Yao, two serving palace maids, and Doctor Liang in the bedroom.
There was no change in their facial expressions, and no one made a sound.
They didn't speak, nor did they hear the voice?
Could it be... the baby in her belly?
Yes, the voice was soft and sticky, and he called "mother" twice. Who else could it be if not her child?
Although she had never seen such a strange thing, as the mistress of the Eastern Palace from an aristocratic family, she had seen some of the world.
The fact that the mother's mood will affect the fetus was said not only by the imperial physician but also by her mother many times.
Could it be that she has been worrying too much recently and it has affected her unborn daughter?
Although she was shocked by her daughter's words, she did not doubt them.
The current queen is the successor to the throne and has two princes. It is understandable that she regards the Eastern Palace as a thorn in her side.
It was only a matter of time before she took action against the Eastern Palace.
"Doctor Liang, when do you think the baby in my belly will be born?"
Yu Jinyi had a plan in mind, so she lay down calmly and let the doctor examine her.
"Replying to the Crown Princess, the baby has entered the pelvis and is showing signs of pelvic insemination. It will definitely be delivered smoothly before noon tomorrow."
Doctor Liang was a woman in her late thirties who had been working as a doctor in the Imperial Hospital for more than ten years and was very experienced in gynecology.
"Well, I'll trouble you and Doctor Cheng then."
Yu Jinyi had given birth to one child before, and she knew that she should prepare for delivery when there were signs of pregnancy.
Since the child will be born tomorrow, Doctor Cheng and Doctor Liang will stay in the East Palace tonight.
"It is my duty to deliver the Crown Princess's baby. I don't deserve your trouble."
Doctor Liang respectfully left the inner room and reported the results of the examination to Doctor Cheng.
After hearing this, Imperial Doctor Cheng wrote her a prescription as usual and asked her to go back to the Imperial Hospital to get the medicine.
"Mammy, you are like this..."
Yu Jinyi motioned to Nanny Yao to come closer, and then whispered in her ear.
When Chu Qinshu heard the footsteps of Dr. Liang leaving, she started fighting with her umbilical cord again.
"My dear daughter, I will definitely protect you."
Yu Jinyi was supported by Nanny Yao and leaned against the head of the bed. She could see the rise and fall of her abdomen clearly.
Although the pain was unbearable, she still comforted him patiently, fearing that this overly spiritual child would be afraid of the dangers of the world and would not want to be born.
Chu Qinshu was so focused on thinking of ways to get herself killed that she paid no attention to what was happening outside.
But she is just one baby and her energy is limited.
After struggling for a while, I became confused. After waking up, I continued to struggle, and then became confused again...
I don't know how long I struggled, but I finally succeeded in getting the umbilical cord around my neck.
Just as she was about to make a second circle, her body suddenly sank and her head got stuck.
"Hmm~ah~"
Yu Jinyi couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Relax, madam. We have seen the end. Take a deep breath, gather your strength and make another effort. The little princess will be able to come out."
The old woman's voice was encouraging and joyful.
Chu Qinshu: "..."
No, let her go around two more times.
Unfortunately, my head could no longer move, and it became increasingly difficult to move my arms.
Most cases of cervical ligaments can result in a normal delivery after one week, which means that her plan to kill herself and be reborn has basically failed.
This is terrible. I only thought about dying and reincarnating, but never thought about being born again if I die.
According to the book, she was burned to death just one hour after she was born because of an ominous sign in the East Palace.
However, all of this was done by the Queen and the Imperial Master.
Since she had to be born, she could only find a way to change everything and survive.
"Yao Hulu, if you don't come out, we will both go to the sea of fire."
Chu Qinshu intuitively felt that the medicine gourd that Meng Po stuffed into her must be with her.
Since it can drag her into the reincarnation well, it will not care about her life or death.
"Master, I knew it was me who would have to take charge at the critical moment."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, a cartoon gourd with two gourd leaves on top appeared in her mind.
