The ancients had almost no solution for excessive blood loss, and Zhao Huan didn't know how to use the technology tree, so he couldn't give the queen a blood transfusion. He hated himself for not knowing anything. If he knew even a little bit of medical skills, maybe he could help the queen, and Chen'er might not die.
The Renming Hall was unusually quiet; even the newly born Zhao Xin had fallen asleep peacefully.
Sai Hua Tuo said that if the queen can survive tonight, her life should be safe. If she can't survive, it is God's will, and it is God punishing me, Zhao Huan.
"You all should leave first. I want to spend some time alone with the Queen." Zhao Huan said in a dejected tone.
Cao Dongsheng led everyone out of the hall. Everyone outside the hall lowered their heads and remained silent, except Cao Dongsheng, who stood outside the door ready to be ordered at any time.
Zhao Huan had always disbelieved in ghosts and gods, but he couldn't help but kneel down with a thud. "Ancestors, please bless my queen to survive this night. I have expanded the territory and defended the great country our ancestors built. Please have mercy on me."
After saying this, Zhao Huan kowtowed several times, crying as he did so. Men don't shed tears easily, but only when they're heartbroken.
Outside the door, Cao Dongsheng listened to Zhao Huan's words and wiped his tears with his sleeve. Although Cao Dongsheng had served Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan was the emperor he admired the most. Hearing Zhao Huan's desperate sobs inside the room, how could he not feel heartbroken? He wished he could die in the queen's place.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally Zhao Huan stood up. He walked to Zhu Lian and gently took her hand.
Zhu Lian's hands were pale and weak, and his skin was soft and had no elasticity at all. This was all due to excessive blood loss.
"Queen, let me talk to you for a while." Zhao Huan wiped his tears.
"Do you remember, when I first sat on this throne, I didn't even dare to look at you. I was so scared at that time. You are so beautiful, and so, so noble. You are the queen, how dare I?
Later, I went to see you again. You hugged my neck and chattered non-stop, like an ignorant little girl. You were so good back then, so innocent and naive.
At this point, Zhao Huan smiled slightly, then sighed: "I know that you are against me taking a concubine in your heart. To be honest, I regret it, I really regret it. If I regret it, I should not have taken a concubine. I really should have lived an ordinary married life with you.
I also know that you only have me in your eyes. You don’t care about the queen or the mother of the country. You don’t care about that at all. What you care about is that I can be with you every day. I am sorry for you, queen, you must wake up. If you are gone, how can I live? Wuwuwu..."
Zhao Huan started to cry again. This time he did not hold back and cried without any care. Everyone outside the hall could hear clearly that Zhao Huan was wailing inside.
No one laughed at the emperor's embarrassment. Instead, many people wiped their tears, and several palace maids even wept softly.
The sky was getting light, and the east was showing a pale white. The sun was rising and the dawn was rising, just like the little prince's name.
Suddenly a tear flowed from the corner of the queen's eye and her fingers moved slightly.
Zhao Huan thought it was his illusion, but then he found that the queen's fingers really moved.
Zhao Huan shouted in surprise: "Come here! Compare to Hua Tuo!"
With a loud 'boom!', everyone rushed into the house. Everyone shouted in surprise: "The Queen is moving, the Queen is moving."
Sai Hua Tuo took the silver needles and began to prick the empress. He then took her pulse again and finally found that her pulse had begun to improve. It was still weak, but it was finally stabilizing.
Sai Huatuo stood up and bowed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Empress' life has been saved."
Zhao Huan's eyes were full of stars. He was so surprised and happy that he sat down on the chair beside him, laughing happily.
Everyone cheered and applauded each other to celebrate, and the Renming Hall was finally filled with joy.
After daybreak, Li Sisi and Nangong Lian'er also came to Renming Hall to visit the empress. Tang Wan'er, heavily pregnant, was unable to come, so she sent her maid Caidie to greet her. Only Concubine Mu did not come.
Zhu Lian was still recovering and needed several months of rest. Zhao Huan was afraid that she would still be immersed in the grief of losing her son, so he placed Zhao Xin by her side and had the wet nurses take turns to feed her.
Funing Palace.
When there are too many women, jealousy is inevitable. So the concubines discussed that since the queen was still ill, someone had to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
Zhao Huan recommended Li Sisi as his successor to the Six Palaces; after all, he had bestowed upon her the title of Imperial Noble Consort. Unexpectedly, Li Sisi refused. Her reason was simple: she didn't want to worry about it. She wouldn't take on tasks that might offend others, but she also didn't want to be bullied; her maids were no pushovers.
Tang Wan'er was delicate and pregnant. Nangong Lian'er herself was still childish. Everyone recommended Concubine Mu to take charge of the six palaces, but Zhao Huan disagreed. Finally, the Empress's handwritten decree was passed from Renming Hall, appointing Concubine Mu to temporarily assume the responsibilities of the six palaces. Concubine Mu declined briefly before acquiescing.
"Queen, I'm here to see you. Oh, my little Xin, let me hold you." Zhao Huan picked up Zhao Xin and spun around happily.
Zhu Lian sat on the bed, looking ahead with empty eyes.
Zhao Huan put the child down and gently stroked the queen's hair: "Queen, look, Xin'er is looking at you."
Zhu Lian remained indifferent, still looking ahead with empty eyes.
Zhao Huan stood up helplessly and said, "You all, serve the Queen well. If you neglect me, I will kill you."
The palace maids were so frightened that they hurriedly saluted: "We dare not."
Just as Zhao Huan was about to leave, Zhu Lian's voice came from behind him: "Your Majesty is so majestic."
The tone was so cold that it made Zhao Huan tremble in his bones. When Zhao Huan looked back, Zhu Lian was still looking ahead with a blank gaze, as if the words just now were not hers.
