Nanny Lin's face was lit up with excitement and joy, and her smile seemed to be overflowing.
"Good, good, good! The birth of our eldest son coincides with the rising sun. This is a sign of good fortune bestowed by heaven. My son will surely have a bright future, his wisdom as brilliant as the sun, his kindness as warm as the sun."
Jun Zechen's voice was loud and heroic, full of the joy and pride of being a new father.
The concubines behind him heard His Majesty praising his eldest son. Even if they were jealous, they dared not show it. Instead, they all congratulated him in unison: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, and congratulations to the Empress on the birth of her eldest son."
Afterwards, all the palace in Kunning Palace knelt and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen, on the birth of your eldest son."
The voices were loud and clear, echoing in the hall.
Jun Zechen no longer suppressed his expression. With a broad smile on his face, he was about to go into the delivery room to see his queen.
Childbirth was so painful, she has always been delicate, and she must be in great pain now.
"Oh no! Oh no!"
Suddenly, Miaoyun stumbled out of the delivery room in panic, her face as pale as paper and her voice filled with extreme fear.
Nanny Lin frowned, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, and she said sternly: "Today is a happy day, why not say something!"
Miaoyun's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, the master has been poisoned!"
When Jun Zechen heard this, his heart skipped a beat, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
He pushed everyone aside and walked in hurriedly like the wind.
Su Jingyao lying on the bed had a pale face and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
At this time, Doctor Jin was taking her pulse with a serious expression and a frown on his face.
"what happened!"
Jun Zechen's voice trembled, filled with uncontrollable anger and fear.
Imperial Physician Jin lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, a maid in Kunning Palace poisoned the Empress's tea after she gave birth. The poison was extremely potent and instantly caused palpitations."
"I don't know what the poison is for a short time, so I can only give Her Majesty an antidote pill to suppress her heart palpitations, but the poison continues to spread throughout her body. Her Majesty..."
"Anshun, go call Doctor Hu!"
Jun Zechen roared, veins popping out on his forehead.
Doctor Hu is an expert in using and detoxifying poisons, so we can only hope that he can save the queen's life.
Su Jingyao now only has a faint trace of consciousness. She opened her eyes with difficulty, but her eyes have lost their former luster and are dull and lifeless.
Her hand trembled as she reached out to Jun Zechen.
Jun Zechen walked quickly towards her, holding her soft and weak hand tightly, his voice filled with endless panic.
"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid. I won't let you die. You won't die!"
Su Jingyao shook her head weakly, and every movement seemed so difficult.
"Your Majesty, you promised me that you would love Xingxing and protect him."
Her voice was as thin as a thread, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
"I won't agree! Jiaojiao is his mother. You will definitely survive. You can protect him and raise him up."
Su Jingyao suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes and sliding down her cheeks: "Please, promise me, please, protect him and love him."
Her eyes were full of pleading.
Jun Zechen couldn't bear to see her continue to be so sad, his lips trembling, and he struggled to squeeze out the word "OK" from between his teeth.
"Your Majesty, I don't understand the struggles of the court. I just hope Your Majesty can consider my and Xingxing's face and not kill the Su family."
Su Jingyao took a breath every time she spoke a word.
"Xingxing needs someone to take care of him. I will rest assured if my four personal maids and Nanny Lin take care of him."
Her gaze remained on Jun Zechen's face, and the earnestness in her eyes was heartbreaking.
Jun Zechen didn't want to listen to her words which sounded like her last words, but her voice was so gentle and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of deep pleading.
Jun Zechen could only nod mechanically and agree with her when she spoke.
"Your Majesty, if I die, please do not implicate innocent people. When a star is born, I only want to pray for its blessing, not to commit murder."
Su Jingyao's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and the hand holding Jun Zechen began to slowly loosen.
After a while, Su Jingyao slowly closed her eyes and her hands fell down weakly.
Jun Zechen hurriedly held her hand again, his voice trembling with despair.
Unbelievable.
"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao, don't scare me."
"Where's the imperial physician!" Jun Zechen's roar was almost hoarse.
Doctor Hu, who happened to be at the door, heard His Majesty's roar and his body shook violently in an instant.
He walked in tremblingly, "Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty."
"Come and see the Queen."
Jun Zechen didn't dare to test Su Jingyao's breath at this time. His heart refused to accept the cruel reality and would not allow such a thing to happen.
But when Doctor Hu walked up to the queen and felt her already cold pulse, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He fell down all of a sudden and then knelt on the ground in an instant.
"Your Majesty, the Queen has passed away."
Doctor Hu's voice was also trembling, and his head was buried deeply in the ground.
The pulse has stopped, and even if he has a strong detoxification skill, he can't save the patient.
Jun Zechen was furious and kicked Doctor Hu hard on the shoulder, causing him to fall to the ground.
"Quack! If the Queen dies, everyone in the delivery room today will be buried with her!"
Jun Zechen's voice was angry and sad.
Everyone in the delivery room was like a frightened bird, "Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Cries for mercy came one after another.
Miaoyun and the other three, as well as Nanny Lin, looked at their master's motionless body, their expressions dazed and their minds blank.
how so?
They had arranged everything so carefully, what could have gone wrong?
