Just to comfort Princess Rou, he slowly crawled to her feet and whispered soothingly, "Rou'er, it's alright, Rou'er, don't worry, your husband is here. You and the child will be fine. Trust me."
"Rou'er, don't cry. Take a deep breath. The imperial physician will be here soon. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Princess Rou felt as if something was about to flow out of her stomach. Although she knew she shouldn't cry and should try to control her emotions, the physical pain and the bloodstains on the ground made her unable to control her fear, and she cried harder and harder.
He couldn't catch his breath and completely fainted.
When the imperial physician rushed over, he was stunned by the scene before him. The stool under Princess Rou was covered in blood, and the arrogant prince consort was lying on top of the blood, quietly comforting Princess Rou.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and examine the princess."
The imperial physicians then came to their senses and hurriedly began various examinations!
But it was too late.
The baby ultimately could not be saved.
The pregnancy was already unstable, and the princess went to see other women during her pregnancy, causing her to become depressed and spend her days in tears. She was also frightened and instead of resting, she was summoned to the palace by the Marquis of Zhenxi and scolded. She was both aggrieved and angry, and did not take the necessary medication to prevent miscarriage, which led to the current situation.
Looking at the fully formed male fetus, he felt a mix of emotions. If the princess could have held on for a few more days, the fetus might not have died.
If the princess had taken her medicine on time as instructed and listened to the imperial physician to rest properly, the fetus might not have died.
But there aren't that many "what ifs".
Once someone is dead, they are dead.
When Lin Dayong heard the news and saw the fully formed male fetus, he was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.
This is a boy, his child with the princess.
If nothing unexpected happens, this would have been the first grandchild of the Marquis of Zhenxi, but now it's all over.
He sat blankly on the ground, unable to understand what he had done wrong to suffer such blows one after another.
Why is everyone against him? Even an unborn child is against him!
He felt like his chest was about to explode, his blood was churning, and finally he couldn't hold back and vomited.
The imperial physician looked at the prince consort who had fainted after spitting blood, and then at the princess who was extremely weak on the bed. I looked at the stillborn child in my hand and was at a loss for what to do. Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from behind.
The Marquis of Zhenxi and his wife rushed over upon receiving the news.
When the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi saw the stillborn fetus in the imperial physician's hand, and then looked at her daughter, who was pale on the bed, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"My dear daughter, don't fall off your mother! Get up and see your mother!"
"Imperial Physician, what has become of my daughter?"
Why isn't she awake?
The imperial physician answered truthfully, "Your Highness was already depressed, and then you were frightened. The pregnancy was already unstable, so you should take your medicine and rest in bed. You shouldn't be wandering around."
"but……"
He glanced cautiously at the Marquis of Zhenxi beside him, "But Her Highness the Princess felt both wronged and angry."
"Being unable to control one's emotions led to this outcome."
Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi immediately turned her anger towards him, saying, "It's all your fault."
"Why do you insist on calling Rou'er over there?"
"It's just a luminous pearl, why be so stingy? If you like it occasionally, just give it to her. Why do you have to call her over and scold her?"
"Don't you know Rou'er is pregnant?"
"Her belly is so big, and you just let her walk back and forth like that."
"Besides, the princess's residence being burned down and the prince consort getting into trouble was already troublesome enough, and you're still meddling in this mess."
"You're not even the emperor yet, but you're already acting like one. If you become emperor, won't you kill us all to vent your anger?"
After she finished speaking, the entire room seemed to freeze. The imperial physicians and servants nearby wished they could find a place to crawl inside.
Although the Marquis of Zhenxi was also heartbroken about his daughter's miscarriage, he was even more furious at his wife's words.
He is no longer an ordinary military general.
He wasn't some greenhorn who had to defer to his in-laws.
He is a king now! He is the King of Heaven! He will also become the ruler of all under Heaven in the future.
But a woman pointed her finger at him and started yelling at him.
He strode forward and slapped his wife across the face.
In the end, Zhenxi Hou's wife regretted it. After all, the man in front of her was no longer the young boy who had risen to power by relying on her family. Now he was the King Yingtian, whose word was law.
But she still didn't expect that after so many years of marriage, she would be slapped in the face in front of so many people just because of a few words.
Her face was full of disbelief.
"You actually hit me."
"Gu Erdan! You actually hit me!"
Do you think I'm wrong?
"Or do you still feel that my saying these things in public is an insult to your dignity?"
"Let me tell you, don't forget who you relied on to get to where you are today."
The imperial physicians and guards nearby wished they could cover their ears immediately. They never expected that the usually dignified Marquis of Zhenxi's real name was actually Gu Erdan.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, they would have almost burst out laughing.
Marquis Zhenxi never expected that his real name, which he had kept hidden for so long, would be exposed today.
He had initially regretted hitting his wife in a moment of impulse, but now he only wished he had beaten the woman in front of him to death.
He never wanted to hear the name Gu Erdan again in his life, so he angrily flung his sleeves and left without even glancing at his daughter.
Chaos erupted inside the palace.
The post station was peaceful and serene.
The first rays of morning sunlight fell on Lin Ru's face. She rubbed her eyes, slowly sat up, and then lay back down.
Sure enough, getting out of bed is always a difficult thing, no matter when.
She rolled around on the bed!
Finally, seemingly having made a great decision, she got up and prepared to get dressed.
But as soon as I lifted the covers, I was scared away by the outside temperature.
"It's so cold."
"There isn't even a stove."
After she finished muttering, there was a knock on the door.
