Changchun Palace.
Shunpin lay on the bed, crying out in pain.
Ning Wanyin, Zhao Yuanpan, Sun Nuyi and others rushed over after hearing the news...
After feeling the patient's pulse, Zhao Yuanpan's face turned grim:
"I'm afraid Concubine Shun is going to give birth prematurely. Go and get a midwife..."
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone in Changchun Palace was busy.
"I'm scared... I'm scared... My stomach hurts so much..." Shunpin, who was lying behind the bed curtain, had a panicked look on her face.
Chunque was also panicking. She held her hand and comforted her, "Hold on, my lady. Save your strength. The midwife will be here soon..."
Ning Wanyin remained calm and said, "The more critical the moment, the more we need to be careful. Xiao Xiazi, you stay outside the door and don't let anyone get close. Except for the imperial physician and the midwife, leave eight palace maids behind, and everyone else go out!"
Which palace maids would stay and serve Shunpin during her delivery had been arranged in advance.
There are four palace maids in Changchun Palace, including Chunque. They were all confidants that Shunpin brought from her home when she moved to the prince's palace. They followed her from the prince's palace to the palace over the years.
There are four more who were sent by the Emperor.
Ning Wanyin brought Lianrui and Xiao Xiazi with her.
"You two are responsible for boiling water, boil water at the palace gate. The five of you listen to the orders of the imperial physician and the midwife... Chunque, you just accompany Shunpin and encourage her." Ning Wanyin instructed one by one:
"Hurry up and go to the warehouse and get the necessary medicines, scissors, ginseng slices, and other items..."
Everyone was busy.
Soon, everything was ready...
Two midwives also arrived.
"Please lift up the quilt quickly, I will come and take a look..." the midwife said anxiously.
Ning Wanyin glanced at everyone and said, "No rush."
"Ah? Premature birth is very dangerous and cannot be delayed..." the midwife said hurriedly.
Ning Wanyin called, "Xiao Xiazi!"
Xiao Xia Zi, who was waiting outside the door, immediately rushed in with a group of eunuchs and surrounded everyone.
"What's going on?" Doctor Sun looked shocked.
Only Judge Zhao looked calm.
Shunpin stopped screaming, sat up from the bed, and stared at the scene with wide eyes.
"I am following the order of Your Majesty to investigate the palace maids. If anyone disobeys, they will be punished for disobeying the order." Ning Wanyin said calmly.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and gradually reacted.
It is obvious that Shunpin did not give birth prematurely.
Ning Wanyin used this as a pretext to investigate suspicious people.
Everyone checked one by one.
There was nothing wrong with everyone else, except for a palace maid, on whom a medicine bottle was found.
"This is soul-calling powder! It's highly poisonous. A little bit of powder is enough to kill someone on the spot." Judge Zhao said after checking.
Shunpin stared at the maid in disbelief, "Chunying, you followed me into the palace, how could you..."
These four trusted palace maids were her personal servants when she was waiting to be married.
She didn't even trust the people sent by the emperor, but only trusted her own people.
Unexpectedly...
Chunying kowtowed to Shunpin and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty..."
"Who instructed you to do this!" Shunpin was anxious and angry.
I didn't expect that my personal maid was actually bribed!
Chunying was sent to do such a thing, so he was determined to die. He said nothing and refused to make excuses or confess.
Ning Wanyin ordered someone to send her to the Criminal Court.
The others bowed and left.
"I didn't expect... How could this happen? I treated her well... Why would she betray me?" Shunpin's face was pale and she muttered to herself.
If Ning Wanyin hadn't caught him red-handed.
She couldn't believe that Chunying would hurt her...
"The reason is not important. The most important thing for Your Majesty right now is to rest and take care of your pregnancy." Ning Wanyin looked at her and said.
Shunpin looked at Ning Wanyin with an excited expression, "If it weren't for you this time... when I really gave birth, I would have been killed by her... Ning Jieyu, I will never forget your kindness to me!"
"I am ordered to take care of you. It is my duty." Ning Wanyin responded neither arrogantly nor humbly, and bowed:
"I will take my leave now."
…
Is Shunpin about to give birth?
No, it’s fake.
When the news spread, all the six palaces were shocked.
Concubine Shu's face turned blue with anger, "Ning Wanyin, you ruined my plan!"
Chunying was a thorn in her side, but she had spent a lot of effort to buy her off, but...
Just pull it out like that.
Concubine Shu picked up the gavel and knocked on the wooden fish for half an hour before she calmed down:
"Forget it. She thought that if she pulled out my nail, Shunpin would be able to give birth peacefully. But who told her that I only have one nail in Changchun Palace?"
If Shunpin said she couldn't keep the baby, then she definitely couldn't keep it.
…
Coming out of Changchun Palace.
There was heavy snow.
Lian Rui said happily, "Master, you are really wise. Now that we have found the nail, we can rest assured..."
"Shufei has been running the business for many years, and there is only one nail?" Ning Wanyin seemed to be thinking about something.
Lian Rui was surprised, "Master, you mean..."
"Go on--" Ning Wanyin said.
Half a month later.
Shunpin woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night and had a miscarriage, which seemed to indicate she was going to have a premature birth!
Changchun Palace was in a state of bustle.
Ning Wanyin, the imperial physician, and the midwife all rushed there overnight.
The news reached Jingxi Palace.
Concubine Shu felt a little hesitant. Another premature birth? Could it be fake this time?
But she didn't dare to gamble.
What if it’s true?
"Zhenzhu, let someone take action." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes.
Even if she had to sacrifice another life, she couldn't let Shunpin give birth to this child...
When everyone was busy preparing everything again...
