Chapter 98: Birth
If he was more alert at this moment, his mother might be safer.
Through the crack in the door, she saw her son standing there, his little face tense. The imperial concubine would probably never forget this scene for the rest of her life.
It is a great blessing to have such a son.
Therefore, even for the sake of the two children, the imperial concubine must never let anything happen to herself.
The next moment, severe pain came like a tide. Afraid that Ye Shuo would worry if he heard it, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her temples. The imperial concubine endured it and tried not to cry out.
The palace maids around him came and went, but Ye Shuo remained awake the whole time.
The more critical the moment, the more clear-headed Ye Shuo becomes.
Soon, a palace maid who looked very ordinary came over from the opposite side holding a copper basin of warm water.When she met the Ninth Prince’s eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered for some reason.
But then she thought that even though the Ninth Prince had a noble status, he was just a child, and she quickly calmed down.
Just when she couldn’t help but want to step inside, she heard the Ninth Prince suddenly say, “Wait a minute.”
The maid was startled, and then she heard him say, “What’s that thing on your waist? Bring it over to me and let me see it.”
“It’s just a sachet that I sewed myself.” The maid said while trying to remain calm.
“Your Highness, please forgive me. I am afraid I have to go first. The queen is still waiting for my hot water.”
The maid thought that the Ninth Prince would let her go after she said that, but she didn’t expect that he didn’t even think about it and winked at the eunuchs next to him. The eunuchs stepped forward and held her down without hesitation.
With a loud bang, the copper basin in the palace maid’s hand fell to the ground, and the hot water inside spilled all over the floor.
“Ninth Prince, what are you going to do, Ninth Prince——”
Afraid that the palace maid’s noise would alarm her mother inside, Ye Shuo directly asked the eunuch to cover her mouth.
“It’s none of your business, just do what you should do.” After being glanced at by the Ninth Prince, the remaining people who were still a little stunned suddenly started and quickly restored order.
When Concubine Rong first started the pain, Ye Shuo had people tie up the cuffs and trouser legs of the palace servants tightly, where they could hide things.
This was inspired by a small red pill that fell from the midwife’s sleeve when he was just born.
The rope wasn’t tied tightly, but it was tight enough to prevent the things inside from falling out.
In this case, if you want to smuggle contraband in, you can only do it out in the open.
Ye Shuo took off the sachet from the palace maid, put it to his nose and smelled it, carefully recalling the smells of various Chinese herbal medicines that he had smelled in the Imperial Hospital. After comparing them, his face changed slightly.
Until this moment, the palace maid was still fantasising that she could get through the danger.
She never expected that when the Ninth Prince studied medicine, it was really no joke, and he actually made some achievements in it.
Ye Shuo quickly handed the sachet to the imperial physician. After the physician smelled it, he was basically certain that there was something inside.
Even if this is the case, it doesn’t matter. After being discovered, as long as I say what I planned, I can still achieve my goal.
The palace maid was just about to speak, but the Ninth Prince didn’t even look at her and just had her taken away.
The Ninth Prince actually didn’t even bother to ask.
The palace maid was completely panicked upon seeing this.
But in fact, there is really no need to ask too much, because there are only a few people who are capable of reaching their hands into this.
“You stay here and I’ll go to the kitchen to take a look.”
After receiving the Ninth Prince’s instructions, Xiao Luzi straightened his back and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”
With the example of the palace maid, the people who followed became much more obedient.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Shuo came to the small kitchen.
The medicinal soup had just been boiled in the small kitchen and was about to be served to the imperial concubine. Ye Shuo took a look at the oil paper bag next to it and saw that the residue of the medicine was still there. He compared it carefully, and then compared it with the prescription written by the imperial physician before. After confirming that it was correct, Ye Shuo personally poured the medicine juice in the medicine bowl into the bowl.
“Are you sure no one was near you when you were boiling the medicine just now?”
The eunuch couldn’t help swallowing and said, “Yes, yes, Your Highness.”
That’s fine. If anything goes wrong, just come to him directly.
Ye Shuo did not ask anyone else to help him during the whole process of bringing the medicine. He walked all the way to the door of the delivery room and handed the bowl of medicine directly to Su Yue.
The whole process is seamless, and it is difficult for others to tamper with it.
Ye Shuo couldn’t help with childbirth, but apart from that, Ye Shuo would make sure his mother was safe no matter what.
the other side.
Over the past month, the queen has been worrying about her newborn prince.
The prince was already weak and could not withstand the slightest disturbance. The queen was afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation, so she could only drag her broken body to take care of him personally.
The queen knew what those people were doing and didn’t dare let the prince out of her sight.
Even if a wet nurse was feeding the baby, it had to be done under her nose.
As for babies, their sleep time is short and fragmented, and they cry from time to time. The queen has been exhausted since giving birth, and staying up all this time is even more harmful to her health.
However, despite this, the queen still did not dare to let go.
She now had no other way out and could only protect her son.
Fortunately, this baby was indeed a prince, which gave the queen some hope.
After the emperor learned that she had given birth, he didn’t even send anyone to ask about her. But the imperial concubine was fine, but the emperor sent people to express his condolences again and again, and occasionally asked people to bring some good things over, either the fresh fruits that were tributed this year, or some precious medicinal herbs.
Even though he is far away in the imperial palace, the emperor is still thinking about the imperial concubine in the temporary palace.
No matter how much Emperor Jingwen doted on the Imperial Concubine in the past, he had never done this before. In the past, Emperor Jingwen only rewarded the Imperial Concubine within the rules and gave the Empress the dignity she deserved.
But now Emperor Jingwen would not even consider these things, and he even took away the power to manage the six palaces from the Queen. His disgusted attitude could be seen by anyone.
However, the more this happened, the more the queen refused to turn back, because there was no way back. She had no other choice but to place all her hopes on the little prince alone.
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to all wrong.
Therefore, nothing can happen to the little prince under any circumstances.
In contrast, the Queen’s hatred for Concubine Rong reached its peak, to the point where she wanted to kill her even though she knew she was pregnant with a princess.
Why, why can she have a baby without paying any price?
The Ninth Prince may seem absurd on weekdays, but he has deep feelings for the Imperial Concubine and is willing to put danger in front of him when encountering danger.
How many princes can do this? So even if the Ninth Prince is unlearned, others still envy the Imperial Concubine.
When she heard that the sable jumped out of the garden and was stopped in time by the Ninth Prince so that it did not hurt the imperial concubine, the Queen felt a mixture of emotions.
A thought even suddenly popped up in her mind: it would be better if the imperial concubine could die.
Because there is no logic that a concubine of lower rank can be a concubine of higher rank in Buyeo, if the imperial concubine dies, her two children will definitely fall into her hands.
Considering how favored the Ninth Prince is, His Majesty may change his mind.
With this in mind, the queen took action.
result…
As expected, all her plans fell through.
The people she found didn’t even have the chance to bring those filthy things into the delivery room, and they were all stopped outside the door.
After hearing this, the queen hated the imperial concubine and was jealous of her.
“Son, son, when you grow up, you must be upright and avenge your mother…” What kind of people are those people! How dare a bunch of lowly things act wildly in front of the dignified Queen!
The Queen’s fingers gently slid across the prince’s little face. Although she had a smile on her face, there was some madness in her eyes.
the other side.
Three hours later, Ye Shuo felt relieved when he heard the baby crying in the delivery room.
Soon, Nanny Jing came out holding the little princess.
“Your Highness, look, she really is a princess. The little princess is healthy and everything is fine.”
However, Ye Shuo’s focus was not on this at all: “Where is my mother? How is my mother?”
Nanny Jing was startled for a moment, then after she came to her senses, she smiled and said, “Look at me, this old slave, I almost got confused.”
“Replying to the Ninth Prince, the Imperial Concubine is also doing well.”
Ye Shuo almost fainted after hearing this: “As long as you are safe, as long as you are safe.”
If Ye Shuo had that ability now, he would want to kill his adoptive father.
After a moment, Ye Shuo finally set his eyes on the little princess in the cradle, and then he was startled.
“Why is it so ugly???”
Ye Shuo finally understood why his mother disliked him so much back then.
“Why is this head flat?” It’s all over, it’s all over, my stepfather and mom are the first to be flat and then flat, what should I do?
Seeing that the Ninth Prince was so disgusted that he didn’t even want to touch the princess, he was exactly the same as the Empress did back then. Nanny Jing couldn’t help laughing and repeated what she said back then.
“The little princess’s head was accidentally pinched when she was born. Your Highness, don’t worry. She will gradually grow better. Judging from her facial features alone, the little princess will definitely look good in the future.”
The head is so pointy, can it really become round at the back?
Ye Shuo expressed his disbelief and continued to shake his head like a rattle.
“No, no, no, don’t let her get close to me. Wait until she looks good and then show her to me.”
The imperial concubine, who was feeling a little weak after giving birth, couldn’t help but laugh and cry when she heard the noise.
Although his sister was a little ugly, she was his mother’s biological daughter after all. Just based on the three words “biological sister”, Ye Shuo did not let down his guard in the next few days.
The imperial concubine gave birth to a child, but in the end, the ninth prince was exhausted.
By the time Ye Shuo began to relax, nearly half a month had passed.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something…
Slapping his head, Ye Shuo hurriedly called Xing Yucheng over.
On the other side, the imperial palace, the Qinzheng Hall.
The longer it had passed since Xiaojiu’s last letter, the longer Emperor Jingwen would be concerned about her.
There has been no news for such a long time, could something have happened?
It was fine when he was dealing with government affairs, but once he had free time, Emperor Jingwen would inevitably think so.
He waited and waited like this, and more than half a month had passed before Emperor Jingwen received the letter that Xiaojiu had asked someone to bring back.
When he saw the news that the imperial concubine and her daughter were safe, even Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, when he learned that it was not an accident but that Xiaojiu had forgotten him, Emperor Jingwen’s face suddenly turned dark again.
Only he can do such a thing!
Just when Emperor Jingwen was extremely angry, he accidentally turned to the last page and was caught off guard by the abstract painting drawn by his son.
In order to let his stepfather see the little princess’s appearance for the first time and make him feel more involved, Ye Shuo specially changed to charcoal pencil this time, and the pattern he drew was both realistic and clear.
However, even in the eyes of Emperor Jingwen, it was still very abstract.
After all, which child has a pointy head?
