Finally, after Sheng Xiyan shouted "Ah!"
The midwife reported back, "Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth!"
"That's great, Yanyan."
Two midwives announced the good news one after another.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little prince!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little princess!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little prince!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little princess!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little prince!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to a little princess!"
Xuan Ling was shocked. "How many children did the Queen have?"
"Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth to six children!"
The general came out and said, "Father, there are seven of them, and there is also your son."
Before Xuan Ling could rejoice for a moment, she suddenly heard the midwife shout in fear:
"Oh no! The Queen is bleeding!"
"What? Yanyan!"
Blood oozed out from under Sheng Xiyan's body, more and more, and the area became larger and larger.
She reached out and touched Xuan Ling's face, saying weakly:
"Your Majesty, I can no longer accompany you... I hope you can raise our child well... I will bless you from Heaven."
Sheng Xiyan slowly closed her eyes, and Xuan Ling's trembling hands touched her until she was no longer breathing.
She cried and wailed, "No, Yanyan, don't go. I want to see you every day. Don't go!
The emperor knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have let Yanyan give birth to a child. Oh, God! Please return Yanyan to me!"
"Yanyan, wake up quickly... wuwuwu..."
********
The wick of the only butter lamp burning in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was swaying.
The emperor on the dragon bed, tears seeping from under his long eyelashes, his handsome face twisted in pain.
"No, don't leave, Yanyan!"
Mou Ran opened his moist eyes, still motionless and immersed in his dream.
The palace door opened, and Eunuch Fu ran in upon hearing the shouts.
Xuan Ling came back to his senses, and turned over to his feet, looking around with his deep black eyes.
The scene just now was so real, but now I know it was a dream, it was fake.
Tears were still welling up in his eyes, but they were soon replaced by a smile of relief.
I burst into laughter through my tears, luckily it was just a dream, it was fake.
Eunuch Fu saw that his eyes were shiny and quickly took the handkerchief.
Presenting it respectfully, "Your Majesty, you must have gotten too hot from sleeping. Please wipe your face."
He didn't dare to ask, "Your Majesty, why are there tears in your eyes?"
Witnessing the emperor crying is extremely disrespectful.
Xuan Ling did not take the handkerchief, but stroked the imperial green ring on his right hand.
After a long time, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
Outside the palace gate, only seven stars shone in the darkness of the night, which were the Big Dipper.
Having more offspring is the duty and mission that he, as an emperor, should shoulder, but it should not be imposed on Sheng Xiyan.
After experiencing the pain of loss in the dream, I instantly understood Sheng Xiyan's fear of having children.
Yanyan, rather than losing you and never seeing you again, I would rather bury my wish deep down.
Half a month later, in Guanju Palace.
Several concubines' maids came, all asking for recipes for beauty, breast enlargement, black hair, and body slimming.
Sheng Xiyan wrote it carefully and gave many instructions.
"All medicines are poisonous. I'm telling you, young lady, don't overdose just for the sake of the effect. Every ten days, stop taking the medicine for five days."
"Yes, Empress Zhaoyi."
After the palace maids left with the prescription, Hua Xia counted the silver bills.
"My Lady, in just half a month, you have already earned three thousand taels of silver."
Sheng Xiyan stood up and walked to the ice jar, took out the ice cubes and played with them in her hands.
For half a month, Xuan Ling was busy with state affairs and did not enter the harem.
I wonder how he is doing lately?
"Inform all palaces that after noon, I will be seeing patients in the South Garden. All palace maids and eunuchs are welcome to come and see me. The consultation is free of charge."
"Ah, Madam, you want to treat the palace maids for free on such a hot day?"
"I've earned money, and I should give it back to the palace."
Hua Xia nodded and put the silver away.
After noon, South Garden.
Sheng Xiyan wore a gauze hat and sat at the table, waiting to see the palace maid.
At first, the palace people asked tentatively, "Empress Zhaoyi, is the consultation really free?"
Hua Xia said, "Everyone, rest assured. Empress Zhaoyi is as good as her word. Anyone who needs treatment can queue up for treatment."
As soon as these words were spoken, the palace maids and eunuchs in need quickly lined up.
"sit."
"I can just stand. How dare I sit with the Concubine Zhaoyi?"
"Please sit down, or I won't be able to show you properly."
The young eunuch sat down as he was told. Sheng Xiyan placed the handkerchief on his wrist and examined him carefully.
"Do you experience frequent wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or coughing?"
"Yes, what's wrong with you, slave?"
Sheng Xiyan looked at his facial features and said, "Open your mouth, open it wider."
The eunuch did as he was told embarrassedly.
"Your condition isn't just a minor one; it's asthma. You must take good precautions, or your life could be in danger."
"Ah, what should I do? I still have to work hard to earn the monthly salary to support my mother in her old age!"
"Don't be nervous, relax. Try to stay in places with fresh air. I've prescribed you a medicine called Wu Shi San. Also, avoid contact with pollen to prevent allergies."
"Thank you, Empress Zhaoyi."
The line grew longer and longer, and the consultation lasted until dark. Hua Xia shouted, "Everyone, it's getting late. Please go back."
"We haven't seen it yet!"
Sheng Xiyan said: "Tomorrow, let's continue tomorrow."
Meixiang was fanning herself vigorously beside him. Sitting in the garden in midsummer, not only was she fed by mosquitoes, but she was also sweating all over.
"My dear, go back and take a bath."
Sheng Xiyan felt very fulfilled and not tired at all.
