Chapter 053 Chapter 53
[Chapter 53]
Yan Shiyu's kiss was about to land on Ruan Yun's lips, but was suddenly interrupted. Ruan Yun was not feeling well, so she put her hands on the emperor's shoulders to avoid him, tears in her eyes and shameful emotions were clearly revealed, "Your Majesty should go see Lady Du."
Her rather magnanimous appearance was particularly irritating to Yan Shiyu. Outside, the palace maid of Yin Lanxuan could not help but urge her again, "Eunuch, our young lady is in great pain."
The words naturally fell into the ears of the two people in the inner hall. Ruan Yun moved and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Her face, which had been rosy just now, turned pale in an instant. How could she have forgotten about this?
Yan Shiyu felt the person in his arms stiffen, and thought that she was not very happy, but he did not expect to see her weak face for a moment.
Ruan Jun didn't dare to move, because the emperor was going to Yinlanxuan. If she accidentally got it on him again, the saliva of the people in the palace would drown her.
She could only push Yan Shiyu with her hands, and said with shame and anger, "Your Majesty, please go quickly."
My lower abdomen was aching and my forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
Yan Shiyu held her hand and forcefully opened her palm, not letting her fingertips dig into his palm for fear that she would hurt herself. "Call the imperial physician."
The palace maid of Yinlanxuan wanted to take a step forward, but Wei Maoyuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "The emperor will go there soon."
The palace maid wanted to say something, but Wei Maoyuan felt a little disgusted when he saw her. This Concubine Du had always been a hot-tempered person, and she was even more arrogant since she became pregnant. Although she was still under house arrest, the emperor allowed Concubine Du to walk for an hour in the Yu Garden every day because she was carrying the royal heir, so she didn't have to stay in Yinlanxuan all day. But how come Concubine Du not only didn't appreciate the emperor's grace, but also competed for favor with Concubine Ying.
Ruan Jun felt so much pain that it was even worse than before. She was half asleep and felt a big warm hand on her abdomen. The hand gently pushed aside the sweaty hair on her forehead and wiped away the cold sweat.
Seeing that the people in front of Yu were unwilling to help pass the message, the palace maid of Yinlanxuan could only muster up the courage to say, "Your Majesty, the young lady is still waiting for you to come over."
Ruan Yun's tears rolled down the back of Yan Shiyu's hand. Her almond-shaped eyes were wet and she was a little dazed. She couldn't see Yan Shiyu's appearance clearly. Bei Chi bit her lower lip tightly, and her hand that was holding the bright yellow dragon robe loosened. She pushed Yan Shiyu's knee weakly and said, "It's time for the emperor to go."
Yan Shiyu had a cold expression, his eyes were filled with anger, but his hands were still gentle, "No hurry."
Ruan Yun said in a stammering voice, "Du Cairen is pregnant... I am fine... Your Majesty... Your Majesty should go and see her."
Yan Shiyu wiped away the tears from her eyes. Imperial Physician Sun also hurried over from the Imperial Physician's Office. Ruan Yun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."
Yan Shiyu stood up, wanting to tell her not to go, but since Du Cairen had made such a big fuss today, the empress would probably go too. Holding the ring, Yan Shiyu thought for a moment and said, "Wait until your mistress is better before helping her go."
Yingning and Tingxu did not dare to make any mistakes and stood aside waiting for Doctor Sun's instructions.
Ruan Yun saw Yan Shiyu gradually walking away. After the acupuncture, she gradually regained consciousness. Doctor Sun asked Ying Ning, "Did the young lady take the medicine on time?"
Ying Ning nodded, "According to the imperial physician's instructions, I eat on time every day and dare not delay for even a moment."
Doctor Sun wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. Just now, Eunuch Wei came to look for him in a hurry. He thought something terrible had happened, but he never thought it was the beautiful lady from Ruiyu Pavilion.
Doctor Sun said with a sigh of relief: "It's just that the cold poison in your body has not been cleared. If you use a medicinal pillow for hot compresses every day, you won't feel so uncomfortable later."
Ruan Yun nodded and listened to Xu sending Doctor Sun out. Ying Ning looked at the young lady's appearance and felt a little distressed. "Mr. Du is really too much."
Ruan Yun curled her lips and said, "I want her to be like this."
As Imperial Physician Sun said, in fact, she had taken medicine every day and nothing serious had happened. She felt pain at the beginning of today but it got much better later. She didn't expect that Lady Du would help her so much. Since ancient times, the mercy of emperors has been rare.
Yan Shiyu stepped down from the imperial procession, and with his cold eyes he glanced at the palace maid who had just spoken outside the Ruiyu Pavilion. The palace maid was so frightened by the emperor's majesty that her body went limp and she knelt down uncontrollably. However, Yan Shiyu did not look at her any further and walked straight in. Wei Maoyuan waved his hand, and the guards covered the palace maid's mouth and took her away, thus killing one person silently.
Wei Maoyuan followed the emperor into the inner hall in a panic, but was dumbfounded when he saw Du Cairen's appearance. The palace maid had just spoken so anxiously, and the emperor had left Concubine Ying and went to Yinlanxuan, but Du Cairen did not look sick at all. Instead, her complexion was better than Concubine Ying's.
As expected, Wei Maoyuan saw a flash of coldness on the emperor's calm face. He pointed his finger at the table and asked, "What happened to your young master?"
This question was addressed to Qing Ling. Du Cairen saw that the emperor was not right and did not say anything. Qing Ling answered without leaking a single word: "The young lady had a stomachache just now. The servants thought that the young lady had an attack in advance, so they sent someone to invite the emperor."
Yan Shiyu cast his gaze indifferently towards the imperial physician, who said, "My lady, there is nothing serious. It's just that the dragon child is getting bigger and there will be fetal movements. Occasionally, there will be some pain, so my lady is confused."
Du Cairen looked at Yan Shiyu with a sad look and said, "I am lucky that the emperor is considerate of me and I can go to Yu Garden to relax every day, but I haven't seen the emperor for a long time and I really miss him. Maybe the baby in my belly knows my feelings and that's why I feel this way."
Wei Maoyuan couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he listened. Du Cairen's words were really too strong. The dragon offspring hadn't been born yet and was still in the womb so how could she know? Du Cairen's ability to tell lies with his eyes open was really getting better and better.
Du Cairen wanted to say something, but the eunuch outside came in to announce that the empress had arrived. Du Cairen had no choice but to suppress what she was about to say, looking quite dissatisfied.
When the Queen came in, she saw Du Cairen with her brows furrowed and her face reddened unnaturally. She couldn't help but ask the doctor, "What happened to Du Cairen?"
The doctor then told the empress what he had just said to the emperor. The empress still looked a little distant and said, "It's good that nothing happened. You are already in your advanced period, so you must not be careless at all."
Lady Du looked at the emperor shyly, but before she could say anything, a palace maid outside accidentally knocked over some water, startling her.
A strong smell spread in the bedroom. Qing Ling quickly ordered someone to open the window and then scolded: "How did you do it? How can you bear the consequences of disturbing the master?"
The maid knelt down and cried, "I didn't mean it."
Du Cairen looked at the palace maid fiercely and said coldly, "Drag her away."
When the Queen heard this, her brows furrowed and she quickly looked at the Emperor. Seeing that the Emperor was also unhappy about what she said, she did not say a word and just sat there in silence.
At this time, all the palace maids had arrived. Just as the maid was about to be pulled down, Du Cairen suddenly fell on top of the maid. When Yan Shiyu just looked over, Zhou Xianshi exclaimed, "Du Cairen...she has seen blood."
The moment Ruan Jun stepped into the palace, she was also enveloped by the unpleasant smell, and naturally heard Concubine Zhou's shouting.
Yan Shiyu said coldly: "Imperial Physician!"
The imperial physician was afraid of making a mistake and ordered someone to help Du Cairen into the inner hall. The empress saw this and said, "The blood is heavy in the bedroom. Your Majesty should go to the outer hall and wait first."
Yan Shiyu nodded and turned to leave. When he reached the outer hall, he saw Ruan Jun standing there with a pale face. Wei Maoyuan hurriedly ordered someone to bring a stool for Lady Ying to sit down.
Du Cairen had fainted just now. After checking his pulse, the imperial physician asked, "Is there any water left in the basin?"
Qing Ling said with tears in her eyes: "It seems that there are still some."
Ask someone to bring it quickly. The imperial physician checked and knew that it was not good. He said to the empress, "The copper basin contains musk soaked in water. The dosage is too large, which caused Du Cairen to bleed. The only solution now is to use labor-inducing drugs to make Du Cairen give birth now. Otherwise, it will be dangerous."
The old lady had already prepared in advance, and the imperial physician gave Du Cairen acupuncture to make her wake up. After drinking a bowl of labor-inducing medicine, she instantly felt unbearable pain in her abdomen.
Seeing this, Qing Ling ran to the outer hall and knelt in front of the emperor and the empress. The palace maid who splashed water was also held down in the hall. Qing Ling cried and said, "Someone must have deliberately framed the young lady and came up with such a vicious trick to frame the young lady."
Yan Shiyu's laziness disappeared a lot, and he tapped his finger bones on the table, "Who ordered you to do that?"
The maid kowtowed desperately, begging, "I don't have it, I really don't have it. Sister Zhuo Ran gave it to me, saying that the young lady liked the single-petal daffodils sent by the flower room and asked me to take good care of them."
Yan Shiyu said coldly: "Bring her in."
Zhuoran was quickly pushed into the palace. Du Cairen's shouting stopped for a while, and the palace became eerily quiet.
The queen asked sternly, "Did you soak the musk in water and then let someone in to tend to the single-petal daffodil?"
Zhuoran hurriedly shook her head and said, "I... am not your servant. Your Majesty, please understand. I would never dare to do that."
Qing Ling said: "Musk has a very strong smell. If you get contaminated with musk, it will not go away in one or two days."
Wei Maoyuan immediately pried open the palace maid's hands which were hidden in her sleeves. The smell was so strong that there was no need to call the imperial physician to check. All the concubines outside the palace covered their noses with handkerchiefs for fear of being contaminated by this unlucky thing.
The queen slammed the table, "What else do you want to say?"
Zhuo Ran suddenly broke free from the guards and grabbed Ruan Yun's clothes. Ting Xu protected the young lady and prevented Zhuo Ran from succeeding. Yan Shiyu shouted, "Hold her down!"
Ruan Jun's already pale face looked even uglier from the shock. Maybe it was because she smelled the musk, but she felt unable to move as she leaned on Tingxu's body.
Zhuo Ran shouted, "Lady Ying, I did this because of your orders. You clearly said you would protect me, but you suddenly turned against me. How could you do this?"
Ting Xu was so angry that she said, "How could the young lady be related to Yin Lanxuan? Don't talk nonsense."
Someone whispered at this time, "Isn't Lady Ying a maid from the Flower Room? She is most familiar with these flowers. She was able to think of soaking musk in water and growing flowers here. I'm afraid no one else in the palace can come up with such a trick."
Ruan Yun looked at Chen Baolin with clear eyes. If she remembered correctly, Chen Baolin was the concubine who was promoted to the throne with her this time. She loved to talk nonsense whenever something happened.
As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines all became suspicious. Yes, if one were to ask who among the concubines knew best about tending to flowers and plants, it would be Concubine Ying. Concubine Ying's good days had probably come to an end, as she actually dared to murder the royal heir.
She is just a little favored by the emperor. How could the emperor favor Lady Ying for the sake of the dragon descendant?
