Chapter 180 Congratulations to the Royal Concubine
[Will it not implicate you? ]
[The child is innocent. It doesn't matter if you blame me or push me out later, but. ]
She suddenly fell silent, and the queen became nervous.
[Oh no…]
The empress didn't care about the doctor behind the screen and blurted out, "What's wrong?"
"ah!"
Nian Shilan held the queen tightly, "I~I~~"
The huge loophole that the Queen just mentioned was that she was worried that Nian Shilan had no signs of giving birth. If it was delayed for two days, she would not be able to explain it later.
But now, the birth is really coming.
"Imperial Physician! Namah! Hot water!"
The hall became busy again.
The pain intensified, and Nian Shilan's forehead was sweating. She tried hard not to scream, and said in her heart:
[If I, if I die, you must take good care of my child. ]
The queen patted Nian Shilan's hand and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be afraid. Giving birth will hurt. I'm here. I'll be with you. You and the baby will be fine."
[You promised me not to let anyone hurt them.]
[Please accompany them to grow up, please...]
"At this time, you are still..."
[Promise me, promise me, promise me, promise me! ]
Nian Shilan was about to tear the queen's clothes into pieces, and the queen kept saying:
"Okay, okay, I promise."
[Women in the harem are used to snatching other people's children. My child, besides mine, can only be raised by you, the Queen. Don't give it to anyone else!]
"well!"
The old lady checked the birth canal and advised the emperor and concubine to save their energy as it was still early.
Nian Shilan talked about all sorts of things in her mind, starting from the first episode of Legend of Zhen Huan, and repeated to the Empress the scene of banging her head against the wall eighty-one times, which she had watched ninety-nine times too many.
In order to divert your attention.
[I am so stupid, how could I hit my head against the wall? ]
[I should have rather died than died. I lived, I pretended to be obedient, I stabbed him in the middle of the night, I also drugged him, I didn’t take him away before I died, why did I bang my head against the wall? ]
[How stupid! How stupid! ]
He also said that he had done many wrong things in his previous life, such as causing Concubine Wan to miscarry and drowning Concubine Chun.
[I have done so many bad things, will God not let me go? Will he punish me by letting me be reborn, letting me have children, or sending me away at this critical moment?]
"Queen, Queen..."
"No, no, don't let your imagination run wild."
[I am the biggest villain! The harm will last for a thousand years! I will not die! ]
Queen: “…”
"Yes, yes, it's good that you know."
In between the pains, Nian Shilan took a deep breath and tried her best to behave like the daughter of a general.
The time was almost up, and the old lady guided Nian Shilan, "My Royal Highness, please push harder, push harder..."
The maid asked the queen to go out.
"It's not like I haven't given birth to a child before, so why should I be afraid of a collision?"
[If anything happens to me, you must act decisively and save my child! You must save my child!]
Just now I said that the disaster would last for a thousand years, and it’s here again!
The queen could do nothing more to help, so she could only worry. She turned around and said to the people in the palace:
"You all should be alert. If anything happens to the Royal Concubine and her son, I will bury the entire Imperial Hospital with them!"
The group of buried companions shook themselves and became more sober.
The Queen sat beside the bed, holding Nian Shilan's hand, "Your brother and his family are in Yangxin Palace. The Nian Mansion has also known about it. Your mother and sister-in-law are also on their way. Don't worry about giving birth to the baby. You will be able to see them tomorrow morning."
Nian Shilan couldn't help but wail from time to time, and in her heart she said:
[I will never bully you again in my next life. ]
Queen: “…”
As Zhang Mi said, the first child took a long time to give birth, and the imperial concubine did not give birth to the child until the next day.
Early in the morning, Concubine Jing, Concubine Li and Concubine Xin came. Originally, they wanted Cao Qinmo and the other two who had been waiting outside all night to go back first. However, the three of them had been waiting outside for about a whole night and didn't mind any more time, so they didn't leave.
When the first baby's cry was heard, several people in the main hall seemed to be cast under a spell.
I subconsciously held my breath and didn't move.
When the second child's cry was heard, their expressions instantly relaxed, their mouth corners raised, and their eyes formed a bridge, sparkling.
Cao Qinmo was the first to speak, "It's born, it's born!"
Concubine Jing didn't know what to say, "Yes, yes."
Shen Meizhuang still remembered her difficult birth. She walked quickly to the door of the inner hall and asked, "How is the queen?"
An Lingrong was standing behind her.
Songzhi came out to announce the good news. She was so happy that tears came out. "To all the queens and ladies, mother and child are safe. Our queen gave birth to twins, a dragon and a phoenix!"
"As long as they are safe! As long as mother and child are safe!"
Although the voices of the several people were not in unison, their joy was the same.
Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong held each other's hands, shook them up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Nian Shilan was too tired, so she changed her bed and fell asleep.
Cao Qinmo and the other two who were on night watch left first, while Concubine Jing, Concubine Li and Concubine Xin watched outside.
Shen Meizhuang did not return to the Yanfu Palace, but went to the Suiyuxuan to tell Zhen Huan about the happy event.
"When the magpies woke up in the morning and sang the song of spring, I knew this would be the result. Your Majesty has finally gotten what she wanted."
"I thought you were going to pass by."
Fangruo was still sent out. Zhen Huan looked out the window and whispered, "I can't go in."
"Why?"
"Sister was so focused on the Imperial Concubine last night that she had no time for anything else."
"What do you mean?"
"You, me, Concubine Jing, Concubine Li, Sister Cao, Sister Xin, Sister An, and Yu Changzai all stand on the side of the Imperial Concubine."
"Of course." Shen Meizhuang was confident, "Who here hasn't received favor from the Royal Concubine?"
"So does the Queen."
Shen Meizhuang nodded, "I figured it out."
"So is Concubine Duan."
Shen Meizhuang opened her mouth, probably wanting to refute, saying that she just had a change of heart and was telling the truth, but she closed her mouth before the words came out.
Zhen Huan realized that Sister Mei understood what she meant.
"If the harem only has the Royal Consort's people..." Zhen Huan shook her head, "This is not a good thing."
"So you want to..." Shen Meizhuang pondered for a moment, "to go against the Imperial Concubine?"
“It may have to be so on the surface.”
Zhen Huan's face was a little serious. "Otherwise, Xipin is just the beginning. The emperor will pick new chess pieces to enter the palace for checks and balances and for his pitiful sense of security."
"That's true. He never cared about a woman's life or death. Wasn't that the case in our previous life?"
Zhen Huan nodded.
"But... Huan'er."
Shen Meizhuang held Zhen Huan's hand, "You and I are in love, and everyone in the harem knows it. I spoke impulsively yesterday, and I'm afraid the Queen Mother and the Emperor already know that I am on the side of the Royal Consort. You..."
She felt that this was difficult. "Your favor in this life is not good. The dog emperor is suspicious. If you are not careful, he may not remember our old friendship."
"Huan'er, I'm worried about the queen, and I'm also worried about you."
Zhen Huan shook her head, "Don't be afraid, the Emperor has already considered it for me."
"ah?"
Zhen Huan stretched her chin, and Shen Meizhuang followed her gaze and looked outside.
