Chapter 216 Production Night
Zhang Yuyan nodded, reached out and held Li Shiwen's hand, giving her strength.
"Sister, this time, it's up to you. I'll go out and report to His Majesty later. Sister, please speak as loudly as possible so that the Emperor can hear clearly and know how difficult it is for you to give birth. Imperial Doctor Wu will be by your side. If there is any accident, you and the baby in your belly will be given priority, and the plan will be put on hold."
Li Shiwen nodded and said, "Go ahead, sister. I understand what you mean."
外间
Zhang Yuyan came out with Wu Renlang.
Just now, the midwife's body had been dragged out and the scene had been cleaned up.
Xie Yu and the concubines looked at the two people who came out.
Xie Yu asked, "How is the baby in Lady Lan's belly?"
Zhang Yuyan bowed, her face tired and her eyes slightly red.
She said, "Your Majesty, Sister Li is having trouble giving birth. Just now, I discovered that although the midwife was timely, she was still a step too late. Sister Li was stained with some of the abortion drug. Sister Li was scared and I'm afraid she will have a difficult delivery and won't be able to give birth for a while. Sister Li has a miserable life. At this time, she was framed by that vicious person who bribed the midwife. Your Majesty, please make the decision for sister."
The voice just fell
Li Shiwen's screams came from the inner room, getting louder and louder.
The concubines looked at each other, but most of them were happy when they heard this.
For example, Sun Manrou, Qin Shushu and others all prayed that Li Shiwen would not be able to give birth to this baby.
Xie Yu's face darkened. What does a difficult birth mean? He moved his eyes, and his eyes were dark.
He nodded. "I will naturally make the decision for Lan Guiji. However, the midwife committed suicide out of fear of punishment. She had already hidden the poison in her teeth. She is dead now. Now is not the time to investigate this matter, Wu Renlang."
Wu Renlang, whose name was called, knelt down and said, "I am your servant."
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Now, how is Concubine Lan? If she has a difficult birth, can she save the baby? I think Concubine Lan is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the child."
As soon as this word comes out
There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhang Yuyan's eyes. The emperor was indeed heartless.
At this time, he actually asked Mrs. Wu to take the small one and go to the big one.
Your Majesty, he is truly a role model for the most heartless men in the world.
When the concubines heard Xie Yu's words, they were all stunned, and they couldn't help feeling that the rabbit was dead and the dog was abandoned.
The emperor is so cruel that he wants to abandon Lan Guiji.
They did not sympathize with Lan Guiji, but thought of themselves.
If there is such a day, the emperor will also be like this
Everyone felt desolate, even Sun Manrou, who always liked to make sarcastic remarks, fell silent.
Chen Mi lowered his head. In the emperor's heart, he would give up a concubine to save the dragon fetus. Of course, the emperor would choose the dragon fetus without hesitation.
The royal family has few offspring, and this dragon fetus can stop the discussions of ministers of the previous dynasty and people all over the world.
The emperor's heart has always been so cold and indifferent. Even though he has doted on Concubine Xi for many years, he is tired of her now and just abandons her.
Wu Renlang said, "Your Majesty, although Lan Guiji's condition is critical now, it has not reached the final stage yet. If Lan Guiji can fight with all her strength, perhaps mother and child can be safe. But now Lan Guiji's will is scattered and she can't use her strength. This is the most important point. If we can arouse Lan Guiji's will, there will be a chance of survival."
Xie Yu's eyes sank slightly. "The will is scattered? But, how can we arouse Lan Guiji's will?"
Wu Renlang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it would be best if someone could give Lan Guiji strength and courage, and awaken Lan Guiji's determination."
Everyone was silent, Xie Yu said, "Then go to Xuanlan Guiji's mother to enter the palace."
Zhang Yuyan stepped forward and suddenly knelt on the ground with a heavy expression.
Everyone looked over, wondering what she meant and why she knelt at this time?
Only a hint of deep thought flashed across Chen Mi's eyes, as if he had thought of something?
Xie Yu said, "Zhaoyi Yan, what are you doing?"
Zhang Yuyan said, "Your Majesty, in fact, the person Sister Li was calling out for just now was not her parents or relatives, but the Empress. When Sister Li was pregnant, the Empress took good care of her and often counseled her. Therefore, at this time, if the Empress could return to the palace and stay by Sister Li's side, perhaps it would help keep Sister Li and her child safe. I, your majesty, would show mercy and rush to the palace to invite the Empress back."
Xie Yu looked at Zhang Yuyan, who was kneeling on the ground, with an inquiring gaze.
Jun'er returns to the palace? It's not impossible to help Lan Guiji give birth. Jun'er has been away from the palace for four months.
Zhang Yuyan's words succeeded in changing the expressions of the concubines present.
The Queen is back in the palace? Doesn't that mean their favor is over?
During the time when the Queen had not left the palace, the Emperor was almost the only one who favored her.
They finally had this chance after leaving the palace with great difficulty. What if the queen just returned to the palace like this?
Now someone is in a hurry
Sun Manrou was the first to speak up and said, "Your Majesty, Master Qingxin of the Huguo Temple said that Concubine Xi's pregnancy is in conflict with the Empress's. If the Empress comes back now, what will happen to Concubine Xi's pregnancy? You can't just think about Concubine Lan, you have to think about Concubine Xi too."
Qin Shushu also hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what the Concubine Chen said is true. Concubine Xi's pregnancy is the fate of the country. The Empress has been in the palace for four months. If she gives up halfway, and when she comes back, Concubine Xi's pregnancy is really in trouble, what should we do?"
Zheng Jin was standing aside. He raised his head and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, didn't Imperial Doctor Wu say that Sister Lan Guiji's pregnancy has not yet reached the final stage? Otherwise, we should wait a little longer. Even if the Empress returns, it may not really be of any use."
Zhang Yuyan and Wu Renlang looked at each other and found that, as expected, all the concubines were trying to stop the Queen from returning to the palace.
Everyone was talking at once, and Xie Yu did think of Master Qingxin's words and felt a little hesitant.
At this time, Chen Mi suddenly stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think what Concubine Yan said makes sense. Concubine Lan is having a difficult birth and can't delay any longer. Only if the Empress returns to the palace will there be a chance to save Concubine Lan and her child. Please send someone to the palace to invite the Empress. Besides, Concubine Xi's pregnancy is stable now, so let's stick with Concubine Lan."
As soon as Chen Mi opened her mouth, the concubines fell silent. She had been in the palace for many years and had her own intimidation.
Seeing Chen Mi speak, Xie Yu's eyes moved slightly, and Zhang Yuyan immediately took this opportunity to speak
"Your Majesty, I beg you to make a decision soon. If you delay any longer, it will be too late."
Next second
Li Shiwen's voice was heard again from the inner room: "Go, go and call the Queen, Queen!"
Everyone outside could hear clearly, Sun Shunyi whispered, "Your Majesty, Lan Guiji is indeed calling you Empress."
Everyone was waiting for Xie Yu to make a decision: should he invite the Queen back to the palace?
Wu Renlang said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Concubine Lan is pregnant with a boy."
Xie Yu's face lit up with joy. "Is it really a boy?"
Wu Renlang's words made Xie Yu determined
If it was a princess, it wouldn't matter, but if it was a prince, it would be different.
Wu Renlang nodded and said, "I am sure it is a boy."
Xie Yu said loudly, "Okay, Gao Cheng, go, have someone hurry up and go to the temporary palace immediately to invite the queen back to the palace."
