Chapter 570: Facts Speak Louder Than Words
Fortunately, winter clothes are thick.
Song Yuntang was at least held back by Xia Ning.
"Ah!" There was only a scream, and the person whose foot Xia Ning stepped on cried out in pain, "Bitch! You stepped on me!"
Xia Ning ignored her, helped Song Yuntang to stand firmly, and looked at her with concern.
"Is my lady all right?"
Song Yuntang was obviously frightened, her face turned pale, and she covered her chest and shook her head.
"I'm fine."
In the desperate situation just now, she even planned to protect the baby in her belly even if it meant breaking her arm again.
Fortunately, Xia Ning pulled her back.
Xia Ning nodded and looked coldly at Zhuang Zihan, who was still screaming after being stepped on by her.
She used all her strength when she took the step just now.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will at least be a fracture.
Anyone who dares to hurt the Madam, even if she is a concubine in the palace, even if she cannot be touched for the time being, at least she must pay the price.
"The situation was urgent just now, and Concubine Zhuang stretched her legs too far, so she accidentally stepped on it. I hope Concubine Zhuang will not blame me."
Then he seemed to realize something and pretended to be surprised.
"But when my wife passed by here just now, why did Concubine Zhuang stretch her legs so long? Did she want to harm the baby in my wife's belly, or did she not want my wife to deliver the baby for Concubine Rong?"
After these words were spoken, the people in the room had different expressions, and they all understood what had just happened.
The main thing about Le'an County is that she was really tripped. Whether the fetus in her belly can be saved is another matter, but it is certain that Concubine Rong will not be able to give birth today.
Zhuang Zihan and Concubine Rong are distant cousins. On weekdays, she calls her cousin very intimately, but I didn't expect that she would be jealous of her in private.
It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Many people directly distanced themselves from Zhuang Zihan to avoid being implicated by her.
Things are different now.
Prince Heng has been executed, and the court is investigating the officials who were close to him.
Although the concubines in the harem were not allowed to interfere in state affairs, they had heard that there were some subtle connections between Prime Minister Zhuang and Prince Heng.
The status of a concubine in the harem, in addition to the emperor's favor, is also closely related to her natal family.
Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is in danger, Zhuang Zihan has naturally lost her value in being flattered in their eyes.
Zhuang Zihan avoided looking.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do that!" She asked confidently, "But you stepped on my foot and tried to blame me. Did your master ask you to do that?"
Seeing that Xia Ning wanted to say something, Song Yuntang looked at her.
"Xia Ning, facts speak louder than words, but now is not the time to argue. Concubine Rong and her unborn child are more important. Grab the medicine box and follow me!"
Hearing this, the concubines in the room couldn't help but admire Song Yuntang's broad-mindedness.
If Miss Xia Ning had not taken action in time, her child might have been lost. Although it was clearly related to her own interests, she was able to put aside her grudges for the time being and take care of Concubine Rong and the child in her belly.
The title of County Princess is well deserved.
However, Song Yuntang did not bother with Zhuang Zihan for the time being, but Zhuang Zihan refused to accept it.
She leaned on the palace maid beside her, her whole body trembling slightly from the pain, and she couldn't even lift the foot that was stepped on.
"You guys just stepped on me and left like that?"
Upon seeing this, Nanny Su stood up with a cold expression.
"The Queen has always been kind to Concubine Zhuang. What is the intention of Concubine Zhuang's behavior today? Are you jealous of our Queen?"
When human lives were at stake, she didn't care about the overall situation at all and wasted time here.
If Miss Xia Ning had not stepped on her outstretched foot just now, she would not have known that this cousin was such a double-faced and vicious person.
Zhuang Zihan was shocked and shook her head while enduring the severe pain in her instep.
"Madam Su, I don't have any."
"Whether it happened or not, all the ladies are watching. After the imperial concubine gives birth, I will tell you in detail what happened. I think you will have your own judgment in your heart!"
After Nanny Su finished speaking, she turned around and followed Song Yuntang towards the bedroom.
Zhuang Zihan was still unwilling to give in, and was about to wink at the palace maid beside her, but she saw the Queen slam the table.
"Lady Zhuang, Concubine Rong is in critical condition due to childbirth, you can't mess around here!"
She and Concubine Rong don't get along on weekdays.
But at this critical moment, he never thought of taking her life.
The years in the palace are long.
It would always be boring if there were no people to accompany you in fighting. As long as no lives were lost, it would not be a big deal.
She did not expect the emperor's true love.
But as the queen, it is her responsibility to manage the harem and give birth to offspring for the royal family.
What Zhuang Zihan is doing right now has obviously touched her bottom line as the queen.
Seeing that the usually gentle queen got angry, Zhuang Zihan felt a little afraid in her heart. She sat back in her seat, and the pain from the instep of her feet made it impossible for her to maintain her usual dignity.
"Hurry up and find the imperial physician!"
The palace maids were busy bowing.
"I will go right away."
…
In the bedroom, the imperial concubine who used to be extremely beautiful and gorgeous was lying weakly on the delivery bed. Perhaps because of the long delivery period, her face was now pale, her hair was wet and messy, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
Song Yuntang rolled up his sleeves and walked to the bed.
"Which side of the fetus is facing downwards now?"
The midwife standing by was so anxious that she was sweating.
"To reply to the county lady, my buttocks are currently facing downwards and I cannot get into the basin."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Empress Rong was born eight months premature, the baby should not be too big, and there is still a chance that the fetal position will be normal."
She tied up her sleeves, lifted up Concubine Rong's eyelids and took her pulse to make sure her vital signs were normal. Then she reached out to her abdomen.
Following Song Yuntang's actions, Concubine Rong woke up in pain.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Su hurried forward to comfort her.
"My Lady, the Princess of Le'an is here. She said that there is a chance that your fetal position will be corrected. Just bear with it and it will be fine soon."
Concubine Rong cried.
"Mammy, I don't want to have children anymore."
Nanny Su was so distressed that she wiped her tears and said, "No more children. Whether it's a little prince or a little princess, this one is enough for us."
"ah!"
Concubine Rong cried out in pain and looked at Song Yuntang beside her with tears in her eyes.
"Princess Le'an, you are really cruel."
While correcting her fetal position, Song Yuntang said, "If you don't do it ruthlessly, the baby's position cannot be corrected. I know this process will be painful, but you have to endure it, otherwise the only option left is cesarean section to deliver the baby."
Although cesarean section is easier, it also has high risks. The conditions are not met at the moment, so it is better not to try it unless necessary.
Upon hearing about the caesarean section, both Nanny Su and Concubine Rong were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
Fortunately, the baby was not big and the position change went smoothly.
Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief.
"alright!"
Maybe it was because I had exerted too much force just now, but now I felt a little tension in my abdomen.
