Chapter 141 Suffering during pregnancy
As time goes by, the candle wax falls more and more, as if silently telling the thoughts of the long night.
Quan Minghe had never slept well to begin with. He had something on his mind and could not fall asleep peacefully.
Suddenly, I felt the person in my arms curl up somehow.
He looked down.
I saw that she was frowning and moaning softly, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.
Quan Minghe woke up instantly: "Mingming, what's wrong?"
Shen Yuning covered her stomach with her hands, her face was a little pale, as if she was in great pain, but she couldn't speak and just shook her head.
Lan Ying, who was guarding outside, heard the noise coming from the bedroom and walked in quickly.
Quan Minghe opened the bed curtain and told Lan Ying, "Go call the imperial physician."
Ever since Zhou Qi diagnosed Concubine Shen as pregnant, he was ordered not to leave the palace, so he now sleeps in the Imperial Hospital.
Always be on standby, just in case something happens.
Hearing the summons, he did not dare to delay for even a second and hurried over.
As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw His Majesty comforting Concubine Shen in a gentle voice. Anyone who saw it could see that His Majesty cared about Concubine Shen.
Zhou Qi sighed inwardly.
Concubine Shen’s acting skills are really good. With this behavior, I’m afraid she has firmly grasped His Majesty’s heart in her hands.
However, he did not dare to show it, and hurried forward: "Your Majesty, this is the pregnancy-preserving pill that I prepared for Your Majesty. Your Majesty may feel much better after taking it."
"Bring it here quickly."
Quan Minghe reached out his hand from behind the bed curtain and Zhou Qi handed him the pill.
After catching it, he fed it into Shen Yuning's mouth, and Lan Ying beside him also handed over some water.
Quan Minghe's eyes never left her face. After she took the pill, her complexion gradually improved and her brows slowly relaxed.
Quan Minghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yuning seemed to be unaware of everything around her. She soon frowned and fell asleep again as if she was extremely tired.
Zhou Qi stood aside and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the queen's condition will occur frequently in the future."
"This pregnancy-preserving pill was carefully prepared by this humble servant based on your physical condition, but it can only provide relief and cannot cure the problem from the root."
Quan Minghe frowned and said "hmm" in a deep voice.
He knew in his heart that the only way to cure it was to have an abortion, but he found it difficult to make a decision on this matter.
On the second day, at lunch time, the sun shone through the cracks in the palace wall, casting a few mottled shadows.
Quan Minghe stepped into the dining hall of Yaohua Palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Lan Ying gently patting Shen Yuning's back.
The palace maid stood there holding a spittoon.
Is she vomiting? !
Quan Minghe hurried over.
After Shen Yuning finished vomiting, the palace maid beside her handed her mouthwash. She took it, drank it hurriedly, and after washing the unpleasant smell in her mouth, she spit the mouthwash into the spittoon.
When she looked up, she saw Quan Minghe walking in, and she was about to stand up and salute.
"You are pregnant and not feeling well. You don't have to perform formalities when you see me in the future."
Quan Minghe walked over to Shen Yuning and sat down, then gently and naturally held her on his lap.
The heartache in his eyes was almost undisguised, and he totally ignored the presence of others.
The palace maids standing by all lowered their heads, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, not daring to make the slightest unnecessary movement, let alone raise their heads to peek at this rare scene.
Although His Majesty doted on the Empress in the past, whenever the two of them had any intimate behavior, he would always send everyone away and not allow them to be around.
But today, His Majesty actually held the Queen in his arms in front of them and comforted her in a soft voice.
This made the palace maids secretly sigh in their hearts that their queen was truly loved.
Seeing that the queen's complexion had recovered a little, Lan Ying spoke softly and told everyone else to leave.
Everyone filed out, and soon, only Quan Minghe and Shen Yuning were left in the dining hall.
Quan Minghe lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Zhou Qi had previously told him that her pregnancy would be extremely difficult.
Last night, Quan Minghe saw that she slept restlessly, and today he saw that she couldn't eat well. When he thought that there might be more serious situations in the future, he felt like his heart was being pulled.
Shen Yuning forced a smile, "It's always like this when you're pregnant. It's okay."
However, Quan Minghe knew that she was different from ordinary pregnant women.
She said tentatively, "I heard from the imperial physician that because you have a cold uterus, pregnancy will be very difficult, and you may be in great danger when you give birth."
However, Shen Yuning did not seem to understand the deeper meaning of his words and just thought that he was concerned about her.
She gave him a gentle smile and leaned against him intimately.
"Even if it is hard, I am happy and blessed to be able to bear an heir for Your Majesty."
When Quan Minghe heard her say this, he didn't know how to start, and felt even more distressed.
He placed his hand on her belly and said gently, "Mianmei is still young. When you recover, you won't have to suffer so much when you get pregnant again. I can rest assured when you give birth, right?"
Shen Yuning's body stiffened, and she slowly got up from him, her face turning pale instantly.
She asked in a trembling voice, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? You...you don't want the child in my belly?"
Quan Minghe was startled when he saw that she was a little agitated.
I quickly changed the topic: "I am just worried about your health. Compared to the child, I naturally care more about Xixi."
He said as he gently stroked her hand.
Shen Yuning bit her lip, her eyes reddened, and she said stubbornly: "I am already a mother now, and it doesn't matter if I suffer for my child. I am not afraid. Your Majesty, please don't say such things again. I am very scared when I hear them."
She stared straight at Kwon Myung-hyuk, but he didn't dare to look into her eyes.
The more you look at it, the more you feel sorry for it and the harder it is to be cruel.
"Okay, both Xixi and the heir will be safe."
.......
When night fell, the candles in Yaohua Palace were extinguished one by one, and the entire palace was shrouded in darkness.
Quan Minghe summoned Zhou Qi to Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Empress's uterine cold was originally treated by Imperial Doctor Hu. I have carefully read the medical records left by Imperial Doctor Hu after he treated the Empress. The Empress' uterine cold was so severe that the abdominal pain was unbearable, and even ordinary prescriptions were ineffective in treating it."
"Now that the queen is pregnant, abdominal pain and even vomiting are common during pregnancy. As the fetus grows, I'm afraid there will be a small amount of bleeding in the lower body in the future."
With every word Zhou Qi said, Quan Minghe's brows furrowed even more.
He almost gritted his teeth: "Is there really no way to save this baby and keep Concubine Shen safe?"
"If Your Majesty follows the prescription I have given you during your pregnancy and nothing goes wrong, it is not impossible for you to give birth to a royal heir safely."
"But during the pregnancy, Your Majesty will probably suffer a lot, and..."
Zhou Qi paused here, looking hesitant.
"And what?"
"And it is very likely that after giving birth to this baby, your body will be damaged, and you may not be able to get pregnant again in the future."
Quan Minghe pursed his lips, the lines were tense.
He was silent for a long time. The whole hall was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, so quiet that it made people feel a little breathless.
He knew clearly what Zhou Qi meant.
If she continues to keep this pregnancy, if there is an accident, both the adult and the child will be lost. But even if the pregnancy goes smoothly, she is afraid that she will not be able to get pregnant again after giving birth.
But no matter what the result is, he has no other choice.
Quan Minghe finally made up his mind and ordered in a deep voice: "Abort Concubine Shen's pregnancy."
Zhou Qi knew that His Majesty was trying hard to suppress his inner emotions at the moment, and he didn't want to offend His Majesty.
He hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Should I tell the Queen about this?"
“We must keep this a secret from Concubine Shen.”
Quan Minghe frowned, "We must not let her notice anything unusual."
At lunch, she would rather suffer than give birth to the child. If she knew that she wanted to abort the baby, with her stubborn personality, she would rather die than give birth to the child.
If he insisted on not having this child, wouldn't she hate him when the child was really gone?
So I had to keep it a secret.
“Yes.”
"I will control the dosage of the medicine so that Concubine Shen can have this pregnancy without any fuss."
Zhou Qi bowed slightly and stepped back.
Zhou Qi also breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Weiyang Palace. Fortunately, everything went as Concubine Shen expected.
Kwon Myung-hyuk stood in the darkness for a long time, like a lonely statue.
