Chapter 180 The terrifying snake fetus 1
Xiao Jingheng was almost as busy today as the day he ascended the throne.
Just when they felt at ease in Kunning Palace, they had to rush to Yonghe Palace to guard it.
The queen needed to recuperate and it was not convenient to keep anyone around her, so Song Zhao followed Xiao Jingheng to Yonghe Palace.
Come to think of it, ever since Concubine Chen banned people from entering Yonghe Palace, Song Zhao hasn't set foot in this place for almost two months.
As soon as she entered today, she felt that Yonghe Palace was very cool.
Walking around the courtyard, I saw several large jars filled with ice.
Kang Yubin even shouted to the palace servants, "Didn't you see that the ice in the jar has melted a little? Go pick up some new ice and serve it to us!"
I heard from Xiao Fuzi earlier that Concubine Chen moved one-third of the ice in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to her palace.
In the whole palace, except for the Queen and Song Zhao who had no shortage of ice in this sultry summer, the ice in the palaces of other concubines was far from enough.
They had many complaints, but had the Concubine ever cared about them?
What she cares about most right now is that Concubine Xiao can safely give birth to an imperial heir.
He opened the door curtain and entered the outer bedroom, where he saw Concubine Chen talking to Xiao Jingheng.
Song Zhao bowed to Concubine Chen from afar, but Concubine Chen only gave her a look and ignored her, continuing to talk to Xiao Jingheng:
"Your Majesty, rest assured. Imperial Physician Qi said that Concubine Xiao's delivery went very smoothly and she will definitely give birth to a little prince for Your Majesty safely."
Xiao Jingheng heard the noise coming from Concubine Xiao's inner chamber, which was much quieter than that of the Queen, so he felt a little relieved and said:
"The Queen was in great pain during childbirth just now. Compared to the noise here, it's nothing."
The concubine's eyes froze for a moment, then she smiled and said:
"Congratulations to the Emperor. I guess the Empress has safely given birth to a little prince for the Emperor, right?"
Xiao Jingheng rubbed his hands and smiled: "She is a princess, but she is also very good."
Hearing this, Concubine Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of pride appeared in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows again.
——“Wow~Wow~”
Suddenly, several loud cries of babies were heard from the inner hall, interrupting their conversation.
The concubine's eyes lit up with joy, "Your Majesty, listen! The cry is so loud, it must be a little prince!"
The slightly nervous look on Xiao Jingheng's face disappeared instantly, and a look of joy instantly appeared on his brows.
He strode to the door of the inner chamber and asked Doctor Qi who came out:
"But is he a prince?"
However, what was strange was that Doctor Qi's expression looked much uglier than Doctor Zhou's just now.
It was like a layer of iron blue covering the human skin, without any blood color at all.
After hearing Xiao Jingheng's question, he was so frightened that his knees became weak and he knelt on the ground. He didn't even dare to raise his head, and he trembled without saying a word.
The joy on Xiao Jingheng's face froze immediately, "Is it a princess?"
Doctor Qi still didn't say anything, but he trembled even more violently.
He was specifically responsible for serving the Concubine Chen. Seeing him like this, the Concubine Chen felt embarrassed and scolded him.
"What's the matter? Say something! Are you mute?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Concubine Xiao...she..."
He stammered and couldn't utter a single word.
The Concubine Chen was annoyed and simply walked past him and went straight into the inner chamber.
She saw two maids standing in front of Lady Xiao's bed, holding a child and whispering something.
Concubine Xiao, who had just given birth, was also very weak.
She seemed to have not seen the child yet, and asked repeatedly in a weak voice:
"How is it? Is it a prince? Or a princess?"
The maids didn't say anything, so Concubine Chen angrily said to them:
"What's wrong with you guys? I'm asking you a question!"
After being yelled at by her, the nanny trembled and said, "Replying to the Empress Chen, Concubine Xiao gave birth to a little prince..."
After hearing this, the concubine finally put her worries at ease.
She let out a long breath and said with a bright smile:
"What a great joyous event! You all look so happy that you are crazy?"
She turned around and looked at Xiao Jingheng, who was also smiling, standing behind her. She knelt down and bowed.
"I congratulate His Majesty on the birth of his precious son!"
"well!"
It was different from when I just learned that the queen had given birth to a princess.
At this moment, Jamel Xiao was obviously much more excited, and even his tone was raised a few notches.
"Hold it here, let me take a look."
"yes!"
The Concubine Chen responded loudly and took the baby from the nanny's arms.
"This child is really...ah!"
However, when Concubine Chen only took a look into the swaddling clothes, she was frightened as if she had seen a ghost. She screamed in fear and even accidentally dropped the swaddling clothes in her arms.
Fortunately, the maids were not far away and they quickly caught you in their swaddling clothes.
"Empress Chen! How can you be so clumsy?"
Xiao Jingheng scolded Concubine Chen, but Concubine Chen just stood there with her eyes wide open.
She seemed to be frightened and didn't say a word.
Sensing something strange, Xiao Jingheng strode forward and lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes.
Unexpectedly, everything he saw made Xiao Jingheng shudder, and he staggered backwards unconsciously...
At this time, Song Zhao also saw clearly the appearance of this much-anticipated "royal son"...
The child's skin is abnormally dry.
The skin is chapped and half-fallen off, forming scaly patches, densely covering almost the entire body!
Even the upper eyelids are too dry, which makes the skin tight.
As a result, he couldn't even close his eyes, his eyes were wide open and glowing scarlet red!
This horrible appearance is just like a human fetus covered with snake skin!
