Chapter 42: The Emperor Without Heirs VS the Stunning Concubine



The mess on the bed had not been cleaned up yet, and the glaring blood-red color deeply stung the emperor's eyes. The strong smell of blood at the tip of his nose awakened memories of his youth.

When he was young, he often followed the generals to the battlefield to kill the enemy. The smell of blood after killing an enemy was far less than the soiled mattress in front of him.

His heart suddenly felt painful and numb. It turned out that giving birth was so difficult.

"I don't know either. These poisonous insects have different habits. Logically, it is impossible for them to appear here at the same time." Imperial Physician Jiang didn't understand. He took out the medicine powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it on the side of Gu Wanying's bed.

As soon as the poisonous insects touched the powder, they scattered as if they had encountered something extraordinary.

Yue Tao held the dagger and killed the poisonous insects one by one. This dagger was given to her by Xiao Cheng when he went out just now, for fear that there would be more insect armies.

After experiencing the scene on the boat, Yue Tao's psychological quality has been greatly improved. She can at least chop those slow-crawling centipedes into two sections without changing her expression.

Jade is responsible for collecting and throwing away these dead insects.

"Don't throw them away, they are very useful medicinal herbs!" Although Imperial Physician Jiang was frightened, these poisonous insects were precious medicinal herbs, so he had to keep them properly.

These things are not difficult to find under normal circumstances, but it is strange that so many of them come at once. Now he just has to collect these insects together so that he can take them back to the Imperial Hospital later.

Gu Wanying couldn't take care of this for the time being. She secretly took a body restoration pill. After giving birth, her figure could be quickly restored to 100% of its original state, even more graceful and even that part was in perfect condition.

She felt it silently, and sure enough, the fat on her stomach disappeared, and the arm fat also became smaller. She felt extremely light.

Gu Qingqing stood at the door. The strong smell of blood made her frown in disgust, but when she saw Gu Chen was there, she calmed down a little.

"Mom, why don't you go and rest? My sister just gave birth and needs to rest too." Gu Qingqing held Gu Chen's hand, "I think you and dad must be worried about my sister."

Who says it’s not?

Raising a child for a hundred years often leads to worries for ninety-nine years, let alone when Gu Wanying was giving birth.

"Mother is not tired." Gu Chenshi didn't even look at Gu Qingqing. "That child is so handsome. His eyes look just like yours."

At this point, the emperor belatedly realized and held the child in front of Gu Wanying. "Just now, I was so happy that I held him and didn't let you see him. Look, my Yingying is the most powerful woman in the world, and my prince is also the most handsome child in the world."

The emperor was quite arrogant when he praised others, which made Gu Wanying couldn't help but laugh.

"I just gave birth to a child for Your Majesty. How can I be the most amazing person in the world?" Gu Wanying glanced at the wrinkled and tiny baby in the cradle. She was disgusted with the child. "Your Majesty, why is he so ugly?"

"You child, don't all newborn babies look like this?" Gu Chen couldn't help but scold in a low voice. She was afraid that Gu Wanying would make the emperor angry.

"This child isn't ugly." The emperor was still grinning from ear to ear. "I've also thought of a name for him. It's Jingyan, Zhao Jingyan. How do you like it?"

Gu Wanying nodded tiredly. She was extremely exhausted after giving birth, and there were so many people in the room.

Seeing that Gu Wanying was tired, Gu Chen asked everyone to leave. The emperor wanted to stay, but the smell of blood in the room was unbearable, so he asked Yuetao and Feicui to act quickly, deal with the poisonous insects and replace the bed with clean ones.

Imperial Physician Jiang remained where he was. He looked at the poisonous insects on the ground, which bypassed the powder he had sprinkled and gathered around Gu Wanying's embroidered shoes.

Is there something wrong with these shoes?

Imperial Physician Jiang picked up the shoes and looked at them. The careful Yue Tao saw this and came over to take a look. She couldn't understand, but she had a mouth.

"Master Jiang, is there anything strange about the Queen's shoes?"

It was just a pair of ordinary embroidered shoes, adorned with a round and full oriental pearl of just the right size.

"Well, there's something strange." He took a look and then moved closer to smell it.

Yue Tao's face froze. If the other party wasn't an experienced imperial physician, she would have been unable to resist hitting him!

What is this old man asking?

"There's a strange smell on these embroidered shoes." Imperial Physician Jiang's eyes flashed.

Yue Tao thought, don’t everyone’s shoes have the same smell?

Their queen even uses incense to fumigate her shoes every day before wearing them, so how could there be a smell?

"It smells like some kind of powder."

Yue Tao's heart trembled, "Master Jiang is saying that there is something wrong with these shoes."

Imperial Physician Jiang stopped talking and walked out with his shoes.

Yue Tao knew that Imperial Physician Jiang had found a clue, so she followed him, leaving Feicui to watch over the sleeping Gu Wanying.

Today, Concubine Wan gave birth to a child. The entire royal villa was bustling with activity. The servants were smiling and working very diligently. This scene startled Concubine Xian, who had not yet gone to bed.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" Her heatstroke was completely gone after taking the medicine, and her eyes were shining brightly.

It is true that he suffered from heat stroke, and it is also true that he invited Imperial Physician Jiang to treat him.

Imperial Physician Jiang has been gone for so long, so the news that something happened to Concubine Wan should have come by now, right?

But she might not be able to appear too calm later, otherwise it would be easy to make mistakes.

She called the palace maids to bathe and change her clothes, and then put on the most beautiful clothes she brought to meet the emperor.

The emperor must need someone to comfort him at this time. After all, that was the woman he once held at the top of his heart.

At that time, it would be enough for her to show some concern and appropriately show some sympathy for Concubine Wan's experience.

She is such a considerate woman.

When she arrived at Gu Wanying's yard wearing the most simple and elegant clothes, she found that things were not as she had imagined.

Everyone here is in high spirits, and they are full of energy as they come in and out. You have to know that it is already late at night, why are they working so hard without sleeping?

The virtuous concubine was puzzled, her face full of doubts. The palace maid stopped a young eunuch and asked what was going on.

"In reply to Empress Xianfei, Empress Wan gave birth to a son a quarter of an hour ago. The Emperor is very happy now and plans to reward Empress Wan and the little prince early tomorrow morning!" The young eunuch said this and went to work.

Concubine Xian's face was stiff and ugly. She had never expected that Concubine Wan would give birth today!

Isn’t it said that women who give birth prematurely are most likely to die?

Is it true that Concubine Wan is so lucky that both mother and child are safe even after giving birth prematurely?

And she actually gave birth to a little prince?

The virtuous concubine was stunned, she felt like the sky was falling!

What on earth is going on!

Gu Qingqing, who was feeling depressed, saw Concubine Xian at a glance, and she angrily told her the whole story.

"I have planned everything. She can only blame herself for being so lucky!" This matter has nothing to do with her, Gu Qingqing.
