Chapter 183 Infertility 1
The Queen Mother's life is hanging by a thread, and the whole palace must be alarmed.
That night, Kunning Palace was brightly lit.
Led by Yuanpan Chu, the Imperial Hospital put all its efforts into saving the Queen's life, using all its medical skills.
Xiao Jingheng and the Queen Mother stayed in the main hall for a whole night.
He also ordered the Concubine Chen to lead the six palaces of imperial concubines to the Baohua Hall to chant scriptures and burn incense to pray for the empress.
Among them, Concubine Xiao did not need to go because she had just given birth, and Song Zhao was pregnant and could not kneel for a long time, so Xiao Jingheng also deliberately told her to stay in the palace and have a good rest.
But after everyone gathered in Baohua Hall, Song Zhao still came.
The Concubine Chen glanced at her and said coldly, "You are pregnant, so don't join us in the show. Go back now."
Song Zhaoze said with a worried look on her face: "How can I sleep peacefully when the Queen is suffering? Please let me stay and pray for the Queen together, so that I can do my best to help the Queen stay healthy."
At this time, how many of the concubines truly hope that the queen is safe and sound?
But they all have their own ulterior motives and are just pretending to obey but actually disobeying the rules.
Only the Concubine Chen was the most frank, with her impatience written all over her face.
She even said to Song Zhao, "If you want to act, I won't stop you. Liuyue, go get a chair for Concubine Yi, don't let her act go wrong and hurt her own baby."
Later, when Concubine Chen led the concubines in reciting scriptures, her attitude was visibly perfunctory.
She never believed in gods or Buddhas, and could not read a few words.
I held the scripture in my hand and read the unfamiliar and difficult words on it. I could mispronounce two or three out of ten words.
But in fact, Liu Yue had already reminded him from the side.
Liu Yue almost whispered it in her ear first, and asked her to follow suit.
But she didn't want to pretend at all. She just read it the way she wanted, with the word perfunctory written on her face.
The other concubines did not dare to say anything to her.
I had to correct my pronunciation by myself and recite again without slacking off.
After chanting for half an hour, the Concubine Chen was already extremely sleepy.
There were too many people gathered in Baohua Hall and it was very hot and stuffy, so she simply picked up a Buddhist scripture and started fanning herself.
At this moment, she heard Concubine Yun and Concubine Ying, who were standing behind her, talking in a low voice.
"It's only the beginning of June, and the harem is already in turmoil. The Queen's premature birth was dangerous, and now she's hemorrhaging. The Queen herself also has a heart disease, I'm afraid..."
Concubine Ying also sighed, "I hope everything is going well for the Queen. Besides, Concubine Xiao gave birth to a child out of the blue...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, the concubine suddenly turned around and threw the Buddhist scriptures on her face.
"If you really have nothing to say, you can sew up the two pieces of flesh on your face! If I hear you dare to talk about this again, I will punish you according to the palace rules!"
Xiao Jingheng had instructed that this matter should not be discussed.
Concubine Chen had a legitimate reason to attack Concubine Ying.
But Ying Fei is a Hu person and will never swallow her anger.
She picked up the Buddhist scripture and presented it to the Concubine Chen again, then bowed to her and said:
"I have spoken out of turn. Not only should I not discuss this matter, I should have congratulated you. The emperor promised you to raise Concubine Xiao's child. Congratulations, sister, on having a son."
Concubine Ying's sarcastic tone was intended to make Concubine Chen feel upset.
Everyone knows that Jamel Xiao doesn't like that 'freak'.
If the child was raised in the palace of Concubine Chen, not only would she have to take care of the child's strange illness, but Xiao Jingheng also felt that the child was unlucky, and he was afraid that he would go to Yonghe Palace less and less in the future.
The Empress Chen would never do such a thankless task.
She said, "After giving birth, Concubine Xiao will move back to Zhaochun Palace. Hasn't Concubine Hui already moved there to live with Concubine Yi? Concubine Xiao lives alone in Zhaochun Palace, and the little prince needs careful care. No one knows how to take care of her child better than a biological mother. So I decided to go back to the emperor and let Concubine Xiao raise her child herself."
Concubine Ying said, "Noble Lady Xiao is of low status and is not a co-lord. How can she raise the child herself?"
"Oh?" Concubine Chen pushed the loose hair behind her ears, raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at Concubine Ying, then said lazily:
"Then why don't you raise her? How about giving her to you to raise?"
"......"
Ying Fei was speechless for a moment and dared not respond.
She was afraid that if she said one more word, the Concubine would really find a way to stuff the "freak" under her lap...
Seeing that she was depressed, the Concubine sneered at her.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Song Zhao, who was sitting on a chair and reciting scriptures, with sweat on his forehead, so he immediately ordered:
"Someone, bring the ice jar to Concubine Yi's side, don't let her get too hot."
Song Zhao was flattered and was about to stand up to express her gratitude when the Concubine Chen walked up to her, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to thank me. Now that the Queen and Concubine Xiao have given birth, your belly is the most precious thing in the harem. Of course, I have to make sure you are well."
Song Zhaoyi smiled and thanked him, but she knew clearly in her heart,
The Queen had a daughter, and Concubine Xiao's son was not included in the Jade Records.
In this case, Concubine Chen has to keep an eye on her belly every day.
But this is fine.
It is better for Concubine Chen to protect her than to plot against her.
Anyway, only after the child is born safely will Concubine Chen realize that she has been tricked by Song Zhao.
However, by that time, the matter was already done, and even if the Concubine Chen wanted to be ruthless, it would be of no avail.
Afterwards, the people recited the scriptures for a while.
It was not until after midnight that Kang Yubin stumbled into the Baohua Palace and replied breathlessly:
"Replying to Her Majesty, there is news from the Queen's palace."
At that time, the concubine was so sleepy that she almost fell asleep.
She yawned lazily and asked casually, "What?"
Kang Yubin said: "The Imperial Hospital mobilized all its resources and finally pulled the Empress back from the brink of death. Although her life was saved, the Empress suffered a severe hemorrhage, which damaged her foundation... I'm afraid she will completely lose the possibility of having children in the future."
Everyone who heard this sighed with regret.
Suddenly, an inappropriate laugh came out of Concubine Chen's mouth.
"Hahahaha? That's good!"
The concubine smiled and offered a stick of incense to the statue of the Bodhisattva in front of her. "Thank you so much for the Bodhisattva's blessing."
"Concubine Chen! What do you mean by that?" Concubine Ying shouted angrily, "The Queen has become like this, and you still dare to say that this is a good thing?"
The concubine looked back at her and said indifferently:
"Why are you so anxious? Isn't she alive? She gave birth to a princess prematurely, and just now she had a hemorrhage. After all these ordeals, she is still able to survive. How can this not be considered a manifestation of the Bodhisattva's power?"
[Two chapters would be too long, so I split it into three. So today there are three chapters.]
