Chapter 566: Storm
Zhen Chongyi glanced at the queen and lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the inner room, Xu Baolin was already out of strength.
The Queen said outside: "Pass on my decree. If Baolin and her daughter are safe this time, I will make the decision to promote Baolin to the rank of Beauty."
In the inner room, Xu Baolin showed no joy when he heard this, he just shed tears.
"You guys can do whatever you want, don't worry about me. If this continues, the child will suffocate to death."
The delivery nanny's eyes turned red: "Baolin, you have to bear with it."
With that said, he had no choice but to use the scissors. When the baby was about to be born, he realized that it was too big, and there was nothing he could do.
This is not something that can be solved by just a pair of scissors, it also requires skill to push it down.
Xu Baolin really couldn't help it and screamed miserably.
People out there who have never had children were scared.
After half an hour of struggling, I finally heard the baby crying.
At the same time, the emperor's oral order also came, trying to keep the mother and child safe. If that is not possible, save the adults.
This time, it seemed that the queen was ruthless.
But now is not the time to pursue the matter. The child has been born, but the adult's condition is not good.
As expected, the bleeding was heavy and could not be stopped.
Xu Baolin only had time to take a look at the child, who turned out to be a prince, and then he was completely exhausted.
She just told her maid: "After I die, please ask the emperor to take care of my mother."
After saying just these words, she lost consciousness and passed away within a quarter of an hour.
The twelfth prince was fine, nothing happened to him, and he was strong.
It’s a pity that this strength was gained at the cost of his mother’s life.
Qi Yixiu arrived and posthumously conferred a title of beauty on her, but it was useless since she was already dead.
The queen sighed inwardly and knelt down: "I am guilty."
"Queen, please get up. The Queen is right." Qi Yixiu helped her up.
"Right now, Concubine Xu's funeral is the most important matter. We can talk about other things later." said the emperor.
The queen said yes, knowing full well that her decision would bring endless trouble.
But if it happens again, she can't say Bao Da.
She is the queen, not the emperor.
If she had said she would save the prince, but the prince was not saved, her career as queen would have been over.
No matter when, the royal heir is more important than the concubines.
Therefore, apart from the emperor himself, the empress dowager might be the only one who could make the decision to protect the emperor.
The Queen can't.
Concubine Xu was sent out of the palace after being tidied up. The twelfth prince was first taken to Ruiqing Palace and given the name Qi Yin.
As a result, everyone temporarily put aside Concubine Lin, who gave birth to a princess.
I was busy with this matter for two consecutive days.
On the third day, which was the third day of the twelfth lunar month, the empress dowager held the empress accountable.
This is inevitable, it is bound to happen.
As the mother-in-law, the Queen Mother naturally could not ignore it.
But it was just a formality, and at this time, another incident broke out.
Concubine Xu might not have suffered a difficult birth.
The Queen naturally gave everyone supplements during their pregnancy, and Concubine Xu also ate a lot of them.
At this time, Lady Xu's maid Tingyu suddenly came out and said that the supplements her master was taking were not right.
I shouldn't have eaten like that. It was the nanny Liu who did it on purpose after I got older.
He also said that the birth should not have been difficult, but it was not because the baby was too big, but because the fetal position was abnormal.
And it is man-made.
And this Nanny Liu had served the Queen in the past.
Although the Queen was unwilling to employ outsiders, she brought her own people to serve throughout the process, but after all, there were not enough people, so she had to ask a few outsiders for help.
This Madam Liu is one of them.
After the second princess was born, this group of people returned to their original place.
The rewards were all very generous, but Tingyu said at this time that Madam Liu had received a large sum of money that year.
This statement seems very intriguing.
This means that all this was the Queen's work.
The most chilling thing is that Matron Liu committed suicide.
Jumped into the well.
The body was fished out and rushed out of the palace, where a coroner was called in to perform an autopsy.
At this time, some people in the court had already raised doubts. After all, the queen came from the Chao Kingdom and had no children for many years. Was she not doing this for herself?
The queen cannot give birth, but she can raise children from others.
As long as he is raised by your parents and registered under your name, he is your legitimate son.
It is the same in this dynasty. If there is a legitimate son, he will be enthroned. If there is no talented person, the most worthy one will be enthroned.
This makes it seem that the queen wants a legitimate son.
The entire harem exploded in an instant.
There are those who are thoughtful, such as Concubine Qianshu and Concubine Zhenchongyi.
Naturally, it can't compare to the queen coming down.
Kill the panda and I will be a national treasure.
Although they may not be able to replace the queen, who still has dreams? Soon, the court developed a situation where the queen murdered concubines just for the sake of having an heir. The queen was not virtuous and should be deposed. A virtuous person should be chosen as the queen.
It's a pity that the queen has not done anything bad over the years. In the final analysis, it's nothing more than that she is not of our race, or the queen has been childless for many years.
But having no children does not mean having no offspring. In traditional Chinese culture, if a wife is divorced on the grounds of having no offspring, it does not mean that daughters are not counted.
This is really untenable, and we still need evidence to prove whether the queen did it or not.
This made the sound outside seem somewhat deliberate.
In Yufu Palace, Shen Chuliu listened to Yuanxiao talking about what was happening outside.
"You go and tell the Shen family that the queen is the legitimate wife and cannot be slandered unless there is sufficient evidence. Even if the legitimate wife from the common people makes a mistake, you can only marry another one after divorcing her. A concubine will always be a concubine." Shen Chuliu said lightly.
Yuan Xiao was stunned and glanced at his master: "Yes."
"Also, tell the people in Yufu Palace to tighten their belts and stay here quietly. Anyone who dares to mess around at this time will be sent directly to the Internal Criminal Department."
"Yes, master, don't worry." Yuanxiao quickly suppressed his slightly active mind and went out to do his job.
To be on the safe side, he went to the Shen family to meet Lord Jing'an in person.
After hearing Yuan Xiao's words, Jing'an Gong couldn't tell what he felt, but just said: "Since the queen thinks so, the Shen family will naturally think the same. Besides, the Shen family is a minister and can't interfere in the affairs of the emperor's backyard. Even if the queen is the mother of the country, it is also the emperor's family affairs. It's not time for the whole court to watch."
Yuan Xiao smiled and replied, "Then I will go back and report. The master also asked about the family."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine at home." Lord Jing'an smiled and asked someone to send out the Yuanxiao.
He went to Qu's courtyard again and told them all these things.
Qu sighed, "This is an opportunity."
"It's an opportunity, but it also has risks. Your Majesty is someone who can sit still." Shen Changjing sat down and sighed, "Since Your Majesty has something to say, we have no choice but to cooperate."
"Hey, you say, why can't I understand her when she left the mansion?" asked Qu.
"This child is half like the second brother, and half like Pei Jiancheng. When the Pei family left the imperial city, could you have imagined that Pei Jiancheng would now be in the cabinet, a close minister to the emperor, and one of the most trusted by the emperor?"
