It took her only one and a half hours from labor to delivery. When she heard the baby's loud cry, she thought she had given birth to a little prince as she wished.
"Quickly bring the little prince over here for me to see."
She could only see the newborn baby and did not notice that the midwife's face was a little stiff.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring the little prince over to me for my wife to see."
The eldest wife was very unhappy. She felt that the midwife was not very smart. Why didn't she bring the child to her to see at this time? Was she planning to let her get out of bed and see it herself?
"Fujin...I, your servant, congratulate you, Fujin, it's...it's a little princess."
The eldest wife, who was overjoyed thinking she had given birth to a prince, was dumbfounded. What little princess? Wasn’t the person she just gave birth to a prince?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She felt that the midwife was lying to her, so she got out of bed and ran to the midwife, regardless of her body not yet fully recovered from giving birth.
When she saw the little princess in the midwife's arms, murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"How dare you, a lowly servant, steal and replace my concubine's little princess? What is your crime?"
"Please spare me, Madam. I dare not do this! This is your newly born little princess. How dare I, your servants, steal her away?"
The midwife was really wronged. Before coming here, I heard that the eldest wife was not a easy person to get along with. Now it seems to be true.
The delivery room was so small, and the eldest wife was awake throughout the delivery. Even if they really wanted to switch the baby, they would have no chance.
Just when the eldest wife wanted to snatch the little princess away and throw her to the ground, she started bleeding profusely.
"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician, the eldest concubine is having a hemorrhage!"
As soon as Yinzhi entered the Yanx Palace, he heard panicked sounds coming from the delivery room.
He had feelings for the first wife, and when he heard that she was bleeding heavily, he almost couldn't stand.
"Why did Fu Jin suffer from hemorrhage? Wasn't it said that this pregnancy looked good? Why did this happen?"
"I don't know, Master. Don't worry. I've already sent for the imperial physician. Madam Fu is blessed with good fortune, and she will be fine."
Concubine Hui was feeling very unlucky at the moment. She was not very satisfied with her daughter-in-law to begin with. If her son had not requested her, she would not have let her live in the Yanx Palace.
Not only did she give birth to a princess, but she also suffered a hemorrhage in the Yanx Palace. If she really died in the Yanx Palace, wouldn't that bring bad luck to herself?
"Hurry up and call the imperial physician. Don't let the eldest concubine die in this palace's Yanxi Palace. It's unlucky."
"Mother, how can you say that? Even though she did some things wrong, she is still my son's wife. She even gave birth to two princesses for him. So, is this time a prince or a princess?"
Yinzhi hoped to have a prince. The prince already had a legitimate son. If he didn't have a legitimate son, he would be ridiculed by him.
"Replying to the eldest prince, the eldest wife gave birth to the third princess."
"It's reasonable for me to say I don't like her. What wife can give birth to three legitimate sons?
It's you who dotes on her just to get the eldest son to dote on her, but she can't even give birth to a little prince, and now you want to pollute my Yanxi Palace."
"Forget it, mother. We will always have a legitimate son. Saving the wife is the most important thing now. Please help me take care of the third princess. If the wife really dies, my son..."
Yinzhi didn't know what to do. His wife was harmed by him and his mother.
When Fu Jin first got married, she was such a gentle and kind person, but she became like this because she and her mother wanted her to give birth to the eldest grandson.
"Someone come, the eldest wife is dying!"
When Yinzhi heard the news from the delivery room that the eldest wife was dying, he felt as if all his strength had been drained away and he could not move.
"Master, Fu Jin wants to see you."
"knew."
When Yinzhi stepped into the delivery room, what he saw was the eldest wife whose face was as pale as a piece of paper.
"Fujin."
"My Lord is here. Do you find me frightening you?"
"No, she is still as beautiful as when we were first married."
"My Lord loves to joke around. I know I was wrong. If I hadn't been jealous of the Crown Princess for not being oppressed by her mother-in-law, and for giving birth to the Emperor's eldest grandson, and being favored by the Crown Prince and the Emperor, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
It’s just a pity for my three princesses. As their mother, I can’t take care of them until they grow up. Master, I beg you to treat them well.
They will definitely marry in the future, but I really can't bear to let them go. You probably think I want to give birth to a little prince to consolidate my position, right?"
Yinzhi's eyes flickered slightly. He really thought so. His wife wanted to give birth to a prince so much that he couldn't help but think about it.
"The reason I want to give birth to a prince is simply because I'm afraid my own daughters will be married off to Mongolia.
They are all my flesh and blood, how could I not feel sorry for them?"
"Fujin..."
"I don't have much time left, Master. Please take good care of yourself in the future."
The eldest wife smiled at Yinzhi and closed her eyes, while Yinzhi closed his eyes in pain.
In fact, he knew that Fu Jin would die today. He knew it since she used witchcraft to frame the twins in the palace.
The reason why she was sent to the Yanxi Palace to be taken care of by her mother was to give her a way out.
Unfortunately, she still resented the Crown Princess and the twins every day, and even cursed them to die a miserable death.
In this situation, he really couldn't protect her. If it weren't for her pregnancy, the emperor would have ordered her to be executed long ago.
"Master, Fu Jin is gone."
"Master knows. Bring Fu Jin back to the prince's residence and bury her with honor."
After hearing what the first wife said, Concubine Hui curled her lips in disdain. Based on her woman's intuition, she knew that what her daughter-in-law said could not be trusted.
"Alright, take him away quickly. I'm feeling really bad."
"Mother, Fu Jin has already left. Why do you still despise her so much? Can't you just let her go happily?"
Yinzhi was somewhat dissatisfied. No matter how bad his wife was, she had accompanied him for four years and even gave birth to three daughters.
Mother, for the sake of me and my granddaughter, should say a few words to comfort me, right?
"Oh."
This kind of person who only has height but no brains deserves to be defeated by the prince! After all, he is his own son. If he is afraid of being offended by complaining too much, he might as well explain it to him.
"Mother asks you, has your wife ever complained about the Crown Princess in front of you before?"
It's more than just complaining, it's like he wants to eat her flesh and drink her blood.
Forget it. He knew what his mother was going to say. It was nothing more than talking about all the bad things that Concubine Fu did during her lifetime. He should not make things difficult for himself.
"Son, I understand. Mother, please help take care of the Third Princess. I have to go back to take care of the funeral arrangements for the Concubine, so I'm afraid I won't have time to look after her."
