Chapter 325 This Child
The days seemed to have calmed down.
An Tai went to deliver meals every day, and at first the people of Chu hated him.
Later, they would gather around An Tai and talk to him, asking him about what was happening outside and also finding out what the emperor thought.
After all, they don't want to die.
I came to Daxia for peace talks, who could have thought it would end like this.
They are now very annoyed with the Fifth Prince, but they cannot say anything because he is the Fifth Prince.
When An Tai is in a good mood, he will talk to them, but when he is in a bad mood, he will ignore them.
These people just treat people differently based on their status. When they were in Chu State, they often said bad things about him behind his back. Even now, don’t they know what An Tai is thinking of them?
But it doesn't matter.
Who cares what the Chu people think.
An Tai glanced at the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Princess had not spoken to An Tai since their last farewell.
An Tai knew why.
The Sixth Princess also saw through the emperor's intention.
She doesn't want to have any weaknesses.
I don't want to be caught by the emperor.
Maybe there is some other reason.
I don’t know about An Tai.
The temporary residence now is actually Prince Duan’s Mansion.
Prince Duan was a talkative man and always talked to him about things outside.
Since An Tai lived in someone else's home, he naturally became much more enthusiastic towards the host.
At this time, someone brought tea.
It’s Princess Duan.
This is a very quiet woman. She always keeps her head down and blushes when she speaks.
But Prince Duan obviously didn't like it and didn't even bother to talk to her.
Also a scumbag.
An Tai's impression of him was greatly reduced.
I thought to myself, as expected of the son of a spy from the State of Chu, he is cold-blooded and heartless.
He also told An Jiu about this.
An Jiu thought of Concubine De.
It seems like she's about to give birth, and she's managed to survive in a place like the cold palace.
The imperial physician said that Concubine De's pregnancy was not stable and she might be born prematurely.
The emperor told him to do his best.
It doesn't say whether to protect the big or the small.
He told An Jiu that although he didn't understand, he had seen Concubine Yu give birth to the eighth prince when he was a child.
It was really a near-death experience, it was extremely dangerous.
He felt that no matter how much Defei deserved to die, it was very uncomfortable to decide her life by saving the elder or the younger.
He could kill Concubine De openly, but he didn't want her to die in this way.
On this day, the Queen Mother was basking in the sun.
She couldn't leave the Cining Palace, but it didn't matter, as she didn't like going out before.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a scream from next door.
The Queen Mother is used to seeing it.
She felt that the emperor's new way of torturing her was to let Concubine De live next door to her.
This woman either cries or screams every day.
It's so noisy.
Her old heart was almost frightened to death.
However, the voice of Concubine De was particularly different today.
Then she heard that Concubine De was about to give birth.
These days are long and seem to have no end. It is also nice to have a child running around and having fun. Therefore, the Empress Dowager still hopes that Concubine De can give birth to the child smoothly. They are all women, and when it comes to giving birth, women can more easily empathize with each other.
The Queen Mother reached the door and saw someone coming out from next door.
Not long after, Doctor Li arrived.
Not long after, the emperor arrived.
The Queen Mother was very surprised, but the Emperor saw her and said with a smile: "It is a nice day today, I came to see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother wanted to roll her eyes.
But she held back.
"Then please come in and sit down, Emperor."
There are no real secrets in this palace.
The Empress Dowager has long known that Concubine De's child is a bastard.
What puzzled her was that the emperor did not sentence this bitch to death, but allowed her to give birth to the child.
The Empress Dowager couldn't figure it out, but when she saw the Emperor today, she seemed to suddenly understand.
It is true that this emperor is annoying, but he can be considered kind.
The late emperor made him emperor not only because he was smart, but also because he was kind-hearted.
It is said that a soft-hearted person cannot become an emperor.
But the late emperor had so many sons.
There are few fuel-efficient lamps.
If someone cold-blooded and ruthless came up...
I'm afraid that the remaining princes have died and nothing is left.
Although the late emperor looked dull, he was very wise.
The Queen Mother only understood it today.
The reason why Prince Ruyang and she were able to survive was because of the emperor's kindness.
The Queen Mother said to the maid beside her: "Go and make a pot of tea for the Emperor."
Mammy left.
The emperor remained silent.
There was no movement next door.
An Jiu wanted to go and take a look.
She glanced at the emperor and whispered something, and the emperor asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Back then, Concubine Yu had a very dangerous time giving birth, and the Eighth Prince was also born prematurely, like a kitten. The late emperor was afraid that he would not live long like the Fifth Prince, so he specially asked a monk to give him a name.
So everyone else had a two-character name, only he had three characters. The monk even accepted him as his lay disciple. Later, the Eighth Prince was in good health, and Concubine Yu became even more devout in Buddhism.
The emperor had heard from the previous emperor and was deeply impressed.
An Jiu shook her head. She felt it was a little funny. It wasn't her fault, so why should she be afraid?
But the emperor looked at her.
No words.
An Jiu left the Cining Palace and quickly went to the Defei Palace.
It’s not that Concubine De didn’t make any noise, it’s that Imperial Doctor Li didn’t allow her to shout.
Giving birth requires strength. If you scream and shout now, you won’t have the strength to give birth in a while.
An Jiu stood aside and watched everyone busying around. Several midwives came out from time to time to talk to Doctor Li.
An Jiu was also frightened when he heard this.
This was ancient times, unlike modern times where if there was a problem, people could have a caesarean section, and there was advanced medical care.
They were all women, An Jiu couldn't help but frowned.
I don’t know how long it took, but the baby still hadn’t been born, so the midwife came out and said it was a difficult birth.
Doctor Li was not panicked and asked his apprentice to bring in the bowl of medicine.
In the room, Concubine De looked lifeless and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She felt like she was dying.
But what she was concerned about was the emperor.
Where is your majesty?
"Has His Majesty arrived?"
Before I die, I always want to see that person again.
The midwife was speechless.
"My lady, you should first take care of the baby in your belly."
Concubine De shed tears silently.
Yes, the baby in the womb is not the emperor’s, so why would he care?
I am such a fool.
Maybe even if she died today, the emperor wouldn't be moved at all.
"My lady, try harder,"
As time passed, the sound of a baby crying finally came.
The emperor and the empress dowager next door both breathed a sigh of relief.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh: "It was the same when I gave birth to Prince Ruyang..."
She was also excited for a moment, but she didn't expect the emperor to listen so seriously.
The Queen Mother was a little surprised.
“Was it hard being pregnant?”
The Queen Mother shook her head: "That's not the case."
After a pause, she said, "Heng'er doesn't like to move around, he's very obedient, and I'm a concubine, I have people to serve me, I don't know how comfortable my life is."
The greatest suffering the Queen Mother endured in her life was giving birth to a child. After all, no one could replace her in this matter.
Apart from that, nothing else.
After the child is born, someone takes care of him and the wet nurse feeds him. She just has to stretch out her hands for clothes and open her mouth for food, and she doesn't feel the hardship at all.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know whether Concubine De's baby is a boy or a girl."
I wish I were a princess.
The child can be raised in the palace until he reaches adulthood.
There are so many people, everyone is bored, it's so fun to have a child with you,
But this was just the Queen Mother's idea. She felt that the Emperor would not acknowledge the child.
