Chapter 28: Shu Fei's Miscarriage 2
"What's going on?"
Concubine Yao pushed through the crowd and went forward to check the situation.
Song Zhao watched from afar. Shu Fei's face was frighteningly pale, and the light blue bedding was stained with blood.
Li Changzai also saw this scene. She covered her mouth and whispered in Song Zhao's ear,
"With so much blood, I'm afraid the child can't be saved, right?"
Of course, this child cannot be saved.
If there was still a glimmer of hope, the people in the Imperial Hospital would not dare to give Shu Fei the abortion medicine.
After Shu Fei made a fuss for a while, the Queen, Yun Fei and Ying Fei also arrived one after another.
When Concubine Shu saw the Queen, she cried and cried, "Queen, they want to harm me! They want me to have a miscarriage!"
The Queen held Shu Fei's hand and felt a damp heat.
He lowered his eyebrows to take a look and saw that Shu Fei's palms were already stained with blood.
The queen took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid. With me here, no one can harm you."
Shu Fei's stomach hurt so much that she was shaking all over.
The Queen asked Concubine Yun and Concubine Ying to stay with Concubine Shu, and then called the imperial physician who was responsible for protecting Concubine Shu's pregnancy aside and asked in a low voice:
"What's going on? Why did you bleed out of nowhere?"
The imperial physician was also terrified and could barely speak clearly. "Reply, reply, Your Majesty, when I heard the news and rushed here, Your Majesty's pulse was already weak and slippery, and she had already seen spotting... The movements of the prince in her belly were very weak, I'm afraid... she can't be saved."
"Nonsense!" The queen, who was always dignified and calm, became angry at this moment. "How many lives do you have to joke about the matter of the royal heir? Even if there is still a glimmer of hope, you have to find a way to treat it!"
The imperial physician was speechless upon hearing this, and was almost about to kneel on the ground and kowtow twice to the queen.
He had been very tactful in his words just now. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye would know that with Shu Fei bleeding so heavily, there was no way she could have saved the child.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Song Zhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xiao Jingheng and Chen Fei rushing over one after the other.
All the concubines came to pay their respects, but Xiao Jingheng ignored everyone and walked straight to Shu Fei's bed to check on her condition.
The Concubine Chen walked slowly into the palace, yawned as she passed by Song Zhao, and asked lazily:
"What is she doing?"
Before Song Zhao could say anything, Li Changzai spoke to Concubine Chen before she could, "Concubine Chen, I'm afraid Concubine Shu's baby may not be able to be kept."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, then she stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of Concubine Shu.
After seeing the bloodstains on the bed, her feet went weak and she staggered backwards. Fortunately, Yingxiang followed closely and helped her to stabilize herself.
"How, how could this happen?"
Concubine Chen clutched the collar of her clothes tightly with her right hand and looked anxiously at Concubine Shu who was going crazy.
"Your Majesty! They want to harm me! They want to harm you and my child!"
Shu Fei snuggled in Xiao Jingheng's arms, crying her heart out.
Xiao Jingheng put his arm around her shoulders, looked at the bloodstains on the bed, and frowned into a ravine.
He came with the judge of the Imperial Hospital. After the judge felt Shu Fei's pulse, he knelt in front of Xiao Jingheng in fear and said sadly:
"Your Majesty... Please accept my condolences! The heir in Concubine Shu's belly has died. If the dead fetus is not aborted as soon as possible and left in Concubine Shu's belly, it may endanger her life!"
"No!!! My child!" Shu Fei cried until her voice became hoarse, and the words she shouted sounded as if blood was seeping from her throat.
She tightly grasped Xiao Jingheng's arm and said emotionally, "It's impossible, Your Majesty. Our prince is fine, fine! You came to see him yesterday, and he was still kicking you in my belly. How could... How could they tell me that my child is gone!"
This scene before our eyes would move even the most hard-hearted person.
Even the usually arrogant and domineering Concubine Chen turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
In the past, she was six months pregnant but had a miscarriage. At that time, she was just like Shu Fei today, desperate and helpless, and she felt as if the sky above her head had collapsed.
Song Zhao secretly looked at Xiao Jingheng and saw that his right hand was clenched tightly, his fist was red, the veins on his neck were exposed, and the expression on his face was quite complicated.
Anger, sadness, and a bit of pity for Shu Fei.
But he is the emperor, the ruler of the world. No matter how big the matter is, he must remain calm and not show any fragile emotions.
Seeing that he just closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, Song Zhao quickly calmed down, gently stroked Shu Fei's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:
"The most important thing right now is to take good care of yourself. You are still young, and we will have children."
"No! I want this child! Your Majesty, please save our child!"
Shu Fei went crazy. She grabbed Xiao Jingheng's hand with her ten fingers so tightly that her nails were about to dig into the flesh.
Xiao Jingheng moved her hand away stiffly and ordered the doctor in a cold voice:
"Go prepare abortion medicine for Concubine Shu."
Finally, Xiao Jingheng personally fed Shu Fei the medicine for sending the child away.
The effect of the medicine took effect quickly, and Shu Fei was in great pain, her cries were shocking.
The imperial physicians gathered around the bed to help her induce labor, while Xiao Jingheng and the concubines retreated to the main hall to wait for news.
After such a major incident, the palace maids in Zhongcui Palace knelt all over the hall. They were so frightened that they lost their souls and dared not even raise their heads.
Xiao Jingheng glanced at everyone with a stern look in his eyes, stroking the ring on his thumb.
"How do you serve your master?"
Qingyue, who was kneeling in the front, kowtowed twice and cried, "Since the queen became pregnant, we have been serving her wholeheartedly and the queen has always been in good health. But after dinner today, the queen suddenly felt uncomfortable. I helped the queen back to bed to take a short rest, and immediately sent someone to summon the imperial physician... But before the imperial physician arrived, the queen had already seen blood!"
"What did you give Shufei to eat in the evening?" asked the Queen.
Qingyue said: "The daily diet of the queen is arranged according to the menus prepared by the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen. In order to avoid any mistakes, three months ago, the Imperial Kitchen stopped delivering meals and cooked them in the small kitchen in the palace.
Today's dinner is steamed pork ribs with millet, fried shrimp with lettuce, green leaf root with golden garlic paste, steamed sea bass and black chicken and ginseng soup. These are the dishes that the queen likes to eat on weekdays, and they are all made by the maids, so there should be no problem..."
"Should?" Xiao Jingheng slammed the table in anger and said solemnly, "Your master and the heir's safety are protected just by your words "should"? Come! Go and call the eunuchs who taste the meals in front of the emperor to come to me, and let them check the samples of Shu Fei's dinner today one by one!"
