Chapter 160 Dystocia
When An Lingrong turned around to express her gratitude, she happened to see Concubine Cao's anxious look. When she thought of Hongzhan who was waiting in Yonghe Palace, her heart softened.
He turned around and bowed, pleading softly.
"Your Majesty, I have heard that Concubine Cao has taken good care of Princess Wen Yi. I would like to ask her for advice on raising a child. I beg for your permission."
Concubine Cao was a smart person. When she heard Concubine Shu say this, she knew that she was helping her, and she immediately looked up eagerly.
The emperor took a casual glance at Concubine Cao and knew that Concubine Shu was moved with sympathy.
"Then Lady Cao will go with Concubine Shu."
Princess Wen Yi, the daughter of Concubine Cao, was indeed well-cared for, but her frail appearance did not please the emperor.
He still thinks the chubby Hongzhan is the cutest.
Cao Qinmo received the favor from Concubine Shu and personally stepped forward to help her out of the Yanx Palace.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Lady Cao, you're too polite. We both have children, and I can't bear to see Princess Wen Yi without seeing her mother before dark."
"It's just that I just took you away under the pretext of Hongzhan. Please, Concubine Cao, have a cup of tea in Yonghe Palace before you leave."
Cao Qinmo had too many things on her mind, so An Lingrong had to explain in detail.
She had no other intentions, she simply felt sorry for Princess Wen Yi.
"I understand. Your Majesty is the most thoughtful one."
Cao Qinmo replied with a smile.
In all these years, Concubine Shu was the first one who considered Princess Wen Yi without any purpose.
An Lingrong asked her to have a cup of tea, and she actually served her a cup of warm tea.
Not long after, he ordered Baoque to send the man away politely.
"Your Majesty, we are not familiar with Concubine Cao. Why do you want to help her?"
Bao Ge, who was serving An Lingrong fruits, asked in confusion.
"I heard that when Concubine Cao failed to return to Taiji Palace in time, Princess Wen Yi cried so much that she developed a high fever and it took a long time to recover."
"Hongzhan has to look at me before he goes to sleep. I feel sorry for that child."
Although Princess Wen Yi was born under the protection of Concubine Hua, Concubine Cao was also poisoned when she was pregnant.
Even though Concubine Cao took good care of him, he still couldn't avoid getting sick from time to time.
After Concubine Cao passed away in her previous life, Princess Wen Yi was raised by Concubine Duan.
An Lingrong still remembered that Concubine Duan had ordered people to hunt down her entire family.
As long as Cao Qinmo had not taken her own life, Concubine Duan would not have had the opportunity to adopt Princess Wen Yi.
If she wanted to adopt other royal heirs, it would depend on whether she and Concubine Hua agreed.
An Lingrong thought about it and decided to find a time to talk to Concubine Hua.
Qi Yuebin is not a person who is content with what he has.
When An Lingrong heard Baoque say that the lights in the Yanx Palace were on last night, she knew she had to go there again today.
"Bao Ge, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Wei Lin to come over."
Checking for a safe pulse can take up half an hour, so the master doesn't have to go to the Yanx Palace early to endure the torture.
Bao Ge, who knew what he meant, walked slowly towards the Imperial Hospital.
As soon as she walked to the door of the Imperial Hospital, she heard teasing sounds from inside.
"Doctor Wen, Doctor Wei, you two are the most sought-after talents in our Imperial Hospital. I heard from colleagues that many palace maids are secretly inquiring about you."
"May I ask if the two elders in the family have made any arrangements?"
"I, Wen, am fascinated by the various medical books in the library and have no plans to get married at the moment. I would like to ask Doctor Lin to help me decline any offers in the future."
As soon as Wen Shichu finished speaking, Wei Lin also expressed his interest in medicine.
This made Doctor Lin, who wanted to match the two of them up, curse them in his heart for being so tactless.
If it weren't for the fact that the two were the exclusive imperial physicians of Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan, he would not have wanted to entrust his family's younger generation to such a poor family with limited wealth.
Doctor Lin was just about to teach the two of them a lesson by relying on his senior status when a crisp voice came from the door.
"Doctor Wei, my master is unwell. I'd like you to go to Yonghe Palace."
Wei Lin apologized to the two of them and hurried out.
"Miss Baoge, may I ask what's wrong with the Queen?"
"Doctor Wei, I can't explain it. You'll know if you go over and take a look."
Wei Lin is one of their own, and Bao Ge doesn't want to make up lies to lie to him.
Looking at Baoge walking leisurely, Wei Lin immediately understood Concubine Shu's intention.
He only quickened his pace when he stepped onto the long street.
When An Lingrong arrived at the Yanx Palace, only Zhen Huan's seat was empty.
She winked at Concubine Hua, who silently raised her finger upwards, indicating that Concubine Wan should accompany the emperor in the Yangxin Palace.
At this time, Concubine Ke, whose lips turned pale from the pain in the delivery room, asked weakly.
"Shuang'er, where is the emperor?"
"My lady, the Emperor is waiting in the main hall. Once you give birth to a prince, you can..."
The pale-faced Concubine Ke raised her right hand with great effort.
"Don't say anymore, I know."
While she was half asleep, someone whispered in her ear that the emperor stayed at Suiyuxuan last night and returned to the Yangxin Palace this morning with Concubine Wan.
Concubine Ke closed her tearful eyes, clenched her teeth, and swore in her heart that she must give birth to this blood-related child.
Mother was right. The prince in her belly was her only hope for the rest of her life.
Shuang'er looked at the young lady whose hair was soaked with sweat, and walked forward with red eyes to ask.
"My lady, what else would you like to eat? I will have someone prepare it."
Lady Ke, clutching the quilt tightly, thought for a while and said with a smile.
"Before I entered the palace, my mother personally cooked a pot of chrysanthemum chicken soup. The taste was so delicious that it lingered on my lips and teeth. I still remember it to this day."
"My lady, I will go right away. Please rest assured and give birth."
"Shuang'er, go quickly. This young lady is waiting for you."
Lady Ke tilted her head and watched Shuang'er lift the curtain and go out.
"Aunt Zhuxi, is this time..."
Sun Zhuxi felt that her words were unlucky and quickly took over the conversation.
"My dear, the maids who delivered your baby are all experienced. Please don't let your imagination run wild. Just follow their instructions."
She had solemnly promised the Empress Dowager that she would ensure Concubine Ke's safe delivery.
Sun Zhuxi's firm and steady eyes made Ke Guiren feel a little relieved.
With the Empress Dowager's people watching over her, she will definitely give birth to a prince safely.
After half an hour, the two maids who were gently pressing on Concubine Ke's abdomen glanced at each other.
One of them spoke in a deep voice.
"My dear, your cervix is open. Please follow my instructions and push harder."
Lady Ke felt numb and painful down there, but her hands were still tightly gripping the quilt, as if she was gathering all her strength to push the child out.
A quarter of an hour later, the maids looked at the big head stuck in the uterus, looked at Sun Zhuxi tacitly, and spoke with difficulty.
"Aunt Zhuxi, Consort Ke's dragon fetus is too large. Please go out and ask for instructions."
The noble lady's baby was large and difficult to deliver, and the decision of whether to save the adult or the child was made by the emperor outside.
