Chapter 186 Premature Birth
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of Laba.
Today, not only in the palace but also in the capital city, the aroma of porridge wafted everywhere since morning.
The Queen was not well yet, so she didn't need to pay respects in the morning, but Yun Qin still got up early.
Because starting from the morning, rewards and gifts began to be delivered from various palaces, and Yanning Palace also had to send several groups of people to deliver things to various palaces.
She was trying to keep herself together and send a group of people away.
Then Hawking Chi walked in.
Yun Qin quickly stood up and was about to ask why no one came to deliver the message, when she remembered that most of the people in the palace had been sent out to deliver gifts, and only Tingchun remained in the palace to serve.
"Why didn't you say anything when the Emperor came?"
Huo Jinchi held her hand and said, "Isn't it because you are busy?"
Although Yun Qin did not sleep with her in the past few days, Huo Jinchi came every day, either in the morning or at noon, to have meals with her.
"Your Majesty, can you have breakfast?" Yun Qin said with a smile, "Nothing else, but this Laba porridge will definitely be enough."
Huo Jinchi looked at her moist and cunning eyes, smiled softly, and tapped her nose with his finger, "Your mouth is getting better and better."
"Of course I can't compare to the emperor."
She dodged backwards after she finished speaking, but she forgot that her hand was still held by Huo Jinchi. He exerted force and Yun Qin was pulled back and held in his arms.
Huo Jinchi held her waist, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "You are getting more and more tricks like this."
Yun Qin blushed immediately and looked up at him with a glare, "You are the emperor, but you want to put the blame on me."
"I don't understand what you are saying." Huo Jinchi smiled and bent down to kiss her.
As for the people in the temple, they had already left at some point.
When others came in with breakfast, apart from the blush on Yunqin's face that had not yet faded, outsiders had no way of guessing what had just happened in the hall.
As for breakfast, it is naturally Laba Congee.
Two people were eating quietly in the hall when Xu An suddenly walked in quickly with a solemn look on his face.
"Your Majesty, someone from Yukang Palace said that Concubine Liu had given birth prematurely!"
Upon hearing this, Hawking Chi stood up immediately.
Yun Qin hesitated for a moment, then stood up. Seeing the emperor looking at her, she immediately said:
"Your Majesty, please go ahead. I will be there soon."
Huo Jinchi's face was tense. He shook her hand and left quickly with Xu An.
Yun Qin lowered her eyes to look at her hand that was hurt by being clenched, and her gaze fell on the bowl of porridge on the table that she had not yet finished.
Lady Liu wouldn't be so stupid as to drink the porridge sent by the palaces, right?
Then she came to her senses and immediately asked Tingchun to help her dress.
When she packed up and was about to go out, she met Rong Xin at the palace gate.
She also had a nervous look on her face. She followed Yun Qin's sedan chair and said quickly, "When I heard the news, I was in Fengyi Palace. The Empress had already gone there, so I hurried back."
"Don't worry, sister." Yun Qin said in a steady voice: "Tingchun will follow me. There are many things to do in the palace, so you can stay and take care of them."
Rong Xin understood what she meant as soon as she heard it.
The situation in Yukang Palace is still unclear. Who knows whether it was an accident or a man-made disaster?
If she leaves too, what if someone takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in?
Rong Xin nodded solemnly to her, then slowed down his pace and said to Tingchun, "Take good care of the master."
"Don't worry, Sister Rong Xin." Tingchun nodded.
Rong Xin watched the sedan chair disappear from his sight before he led his people back to Yanning Palace. Once inside, he had people close the palace gates, allowing only entry but not exit!
the other side.
Yun Qin's sedan also stopped in front of the gate of Yukang Palace. As soon as she got off the sedan, she saw Shen Danying's sedan parked not far away.
She paused slightly, exchanged a glance with Shen Danying who had opened the curtain, and then led Tingchun into Yukang Palace.
Before I got close, I could hear Miss Liu's faint scream.
It was in the greenhouse in the side hall, which should be the delivery room.
As I got closer, I could almost smell the smell of blood.
Somehow, Yun Qin suddenly remembered the scene of Su Yiyan's accident that day, and the basins of blood that were brought out.
The scene in my memory seems to overlap with this moment.
Just then, a palace maid came running towards her carrying blood. She was in a trance and could not tell whether it was an illusion or reality, so she forgot to avoid it.
Just when they were about to collide, a slender and strong hand suddenly reached out and pulled her towards him.
Yun Qin raised her eyes suddenly and met Huo Jinchi's deep eyes.
"emperor!"
The maid was terrified and kept apologizing. Hawking waved his hand and asked her to leave.
Yun Qin wanted to salute, but was stopped by Huo Jinchi. However, he did not ask her what she was thinking just now. He just moved his hand down from holding her arm to holding her hand.
Warm and powerful, it seemed to give her strength.
At this moment, Yun Qin suddenly realized that he understood her trance, and she also understood the heaviness in his heart.
Huo Jinchi still didn't say anything, but just pulled her into the main hall.
In the hall, the Empress and Consort De were already sitting there.
There were a group of palace maids kneeling on the ground, and Yun Qin was the first one to recognize Qinghe, who was standing next to Lady Liu.
When she saw people coming in, Concubine De's face was as gentle as ever, while the Empress leaned on Lanying with a pale face, closed her eyes, and coughed from time to time.
She is so seriously ill.
Yun Qin thought about it and wanted to bow, but Huo Jinchi held her back again.
"Greetings to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Defei." She did not break away from Huo Jinchi's hand, but bowed awkwardly.
"No need to be so polite." Concubine De nodded at him with a smile.
Hawking pulled her and made her sit next to him.
From this angle, one could just see everything in front of the main hall. No wonder Huo Jinchi noticed that something was wrong with her.
Shen Danying, who was a step behind, also walked in. She was not treated the same as Yun Qin. After bowing, she sat on a chair beside her.
Yun Qin's eyes swept over her and then fell back on the palace maid kneeling in the hall. When she saw a somewhat familiar face, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This person was none other than a little maid in her palace named Su Yue.
She should have been following Danxue and delivering gifts to various palaces. Why was she here, standing with the people from Yukang Palace?
Yunqin's hand unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
Huo Jinchi also felt the force of her fingers and turned back to look at her. Following her line of sight, he also looked at Su Yue.
He had an almost photographic memory, so he could tell at a glance that this was a palace maid from the Yanning Palace. He couldn't help but look at Yun Qin again.
Yun Qin frowned and looked at him, with even more confusion in her eyes than his.
"emperor."
The voice of Concubine De brought the two back to their senses.
"Why did Miss Liu suddenly go into premature labor? I haven't found out the truth yet."
No one noticed that when she asked this question, the queen's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Huo Jinchi's face was even gloomier than before. He looked at Qinghe who was crying on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
Long before Yun Qin arrived, the palace had actually been in a huge commotion. Qing He and Su Yue were quarreling with each other, and it took a lot of effort to pull the two apart. Huo Jin Chi was furious, so Qing He was so quiet at this time.
Upon hearing this, Qing He immediately straightened her upper body, pointed at Qiu Su who was kneeling behind her, and said angrily: "It's all her fault. It was her words that provoked my master to get angry and cause her to have a premature birth!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Qin again, her eyes full of hatred, and she shouted angrily: "What is Xi Danying's intention? After all these years in the palace, this is the first time I heard that something sent here has to be returned. I think you deliberately let this bastard do this to deliberately anger our master!"
