What he said was true, but he just didn't say the whole story. Your Majesty was infected with many kinds of strange poisons, and there was no antidote for these poisons. They suppressed each other and eroded Your Majesty's body bit by bit.
Because of the poisoning, Your Majesty has difficulty in having children. Even if Your Majesty can make concubines pregnant, those children may not be born.
The previous case of Lady Jiang becoming pregnant and then having a miscarriage is a perfect example.
Although I have tried my best to suppress the toxins in your body, your Majesty does not have much time left.
He couldn't tell Hua Fushu about these inside stories, not because he didn't believe them, but because these were huge secrets. Once exposed in advance, it would cause unrest in the court and the country.
If the situation develops out of their control, it will be difficult to control the overall situation.
Hearing this, Hua Fushu was stunned, "What?"
The man continued, "Your Majesty has no children, and Prince Qinghe is pressing you. Your Majesty doesn't have time to choose a royal boy of appropriate age to adopt as the crown prince, so you plan to choose one of the princes to be the crown prince and inherit the throne. Your Majesty is considering the Prince of Zheng and the Prince of Qi—"
His tone was deliberately emphasized. "And your senior brother, the King of Qin, is also within the scope of your majesty's consideration."
He said, "Our real goal is to eliminate Prince Qinghe, eliminate his influence in the court, and ensure the smooth succession of the new emperor."
Ye Zelin said everything he needed to say. Their goal was to eliminate King Qinghe and his forces and cronies, control the Northern Border Army, and cut off King Qinghe's retreat. Their ultimate goal was to allow King Qin to ascend the throne without any worries.
"I know. I understand."
Hua Fushu said two things at once, and she knew them all, even though Ye Zelin said half and kept the other half, deliberately making his words vague, she understood them all.
Ye Zelin said that His Majesty did not have time to adopt a son of the royal family as the prince and train a crown prince, so he could only choose a crown prince from among the princes of the same father.
Your Majesty is in the prime of his life. After getting rid of King Qinghe, he has plenty of time to train a crown prince of his own choosing to take over the throne. However, he must choose a crown prince before getting rid of King Qinghe.
Unless Your Majesty is running out of time, you will not be in a hurry to choose a crown prince from among the princes.
Ye Zelin also said that the King of Qi, the King of Zheng, and the King of Qin were all candidates considered by His Majesty, but the King of Qi was a playboy in the royal family, indulging in wine, sex, and pleasure. Such a person would definitely not be a candidate for the crown prince.
So, in your majesty's mind, the right candidate is either King Zheng or her senior brother, King Qin.
No wonder Ye Zelin said that Prince Qinghe killed his senior brother as a test, because Prince Qinghe suspected that his senior brother was the crown prince candidate in His Majesty's mind.
Today's incident at Sifang Pavilion was a test from King Qinghe, and killing my senior brother would solve the problem once and for all.
On March 26th, spring is here.
Dugu Lanxi is about to give birth!
The delivery room had been prepared long ago. Dugu Lanxi's water broke and she felt pain in her abdomen. Midwife Sun directed Ye Yunlu and several maids to send the woman to the delivery room.
The delivery room was located in Fengquexuan, right next to Dugu Lanxi's bedroom.
"Hua'er! Yunlu, go find Hua'er!" Dugu Lanxi said while lying on the delivery bed, holding her husband's hand tightly.
Ye Yunlu held his wife's hand and gave her a very reassuring look.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm going to invite my sister-in-law with the pomegranate branches. She will be here soon."
Listening to Ye Yunlu's words, Dugu Lanxi's slightly nervous mood relaxed at this moment.
Hua Fushu did not go out today. She took Dugu Lanxi's pulse two days ago and speculated that Dugu Lanxi might give birth in the last few days of the month, so she stayed at home these days.
Hearing Liuzhi say that Dugu Lanxi was about to give birth, Hua Fushu took the medicine box and quickly followed Liuzhi to Fengquexuan.
As soon as Hua Fushu arrived at Fengquexuan, he heard Dugu Lanxi's screams coming from the delivery room.
"Sister-in-law, you're here." Ye Yunlu said.
Hua Fushu nodded and was about to go into the delivery room.
"Sister-in-law."
Ye Yunlu suddenly shouted.
Hua Fushu was about to step over the threshold when she heard Ye Yunlu calling her. She turned around and saw Ye Yunlu's lips opening and closing slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Ye Yunlu glanced into the delivery room and finally lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, if, if anything happens, you must protect Lan Xi, don't..."
He didn't finish his words, but Hua Fushu knew that he meant not to save the child.
Hua Fushu saw Ye Yunlu's hands shaking unconsciously when he said this. He must be worried.
Since ancient times, giving birth to a child for a woman is like walking through the gates of hell. Ye Yunlu must be afraid that something bad might happen to Dugu Lanxi during childbirth.
"Don't worry, big brother. I'm here to keep your sister-in-law and her child safe."
Ye Yunlu's heart tightened slightly, "I mean just in case."
Hua Fushu said: "I don't have any chance of that happening."
Hua Fushu entered the delivery room. The moment Dugu Lanxi saw Hua Fushu, he was completely relieved.
She doesn't trust other doctors, but she definitely trusts Hua Fushu.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here."
"I'm glad you're here. I can give birth to the baby with peace of mind." There were a few messy hairs on Dugu Lanxi's cheeks and a few beads of sweat on her forehead.
Hua Fushu knew that Dugu Lanxi was having her first childbirth and she would be a little scared and worried, so he started to comfort her.
"Yes, I'm here. I'll accompany you to give birth to the baby. Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I'm here. Cooperate with Aunt Sun, and let's give birth to the baby safely."
"Ouch." Midwife Sun looked at Dugu Lanxi's body and suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Hua Fushu asked.
"Madam Lanxi, please take care of yourself first! Talk to Madam Er after you give birth. Your cervix is already four or five fingers dilated, and the speed is so fast, it's a premature birth!" Midwife Sun said seriously.
Premature delivery is very risky!
Hua Fushu was surprised. She didn't expect Dugu Lanxi's cervix to open so quickly!
This was the first time she encountered such a situation!
When a woman gives birth for the first time, it takes a certain amount of time from the pain to the opening of the cervix.
However, Dugu Lanxi only felt pain for a short time before her cervix dilated to four or five fingers.
She was scared when she heard about this speed.
If the delivery is premature, it is very likely to cause a series of problems, such as fetal asphyxia, damage to the fetus, and even affect the mother, for example, heavy bleeding.
She couldn't be afraid. Once she was afraid, Dugu Lanxi would become nervous and scared, which would affect her delivery.
Hua Fushu suppressed his unnecessary thoughts and decided to help Dugu Lanxi give birth to the child as soon as possible.
Midwife Sun had seen cases of premature birth before. Fortunately, the mother and child were safe. Thinking of that successful case, she soon calmed down.
She was also thinking about buying candy for her grandson when she got the reward.
Although it was Dugu Lanxi's first time giving birth, she knew that premature birth was not a good thing. She just wanted to give birth to the child safely and did her best to cooperate with Midwife Sun's requirements.
She was cooperating with the requests of Midwife Sun and Hua Fushu and adjusting her breathing.
Hua Fushu cooperated with midwife Sun to press Dugu Lanxi's belly, allowing her to breathe in and out in rhythm.
Several maids came in and out, bringing hot water and clean towels. They did not dare to delay.
