They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Chapter 171: Aunt Sun's Medical Skills

Xiuchun closed her eyes, and various thoughts emerged in her mind one by one.

After a while, she opened her eyes and saw a palace maid carrying out a basin of blood, who then waved at her.

"What's the situation inside? Is Concubine Rong okay?"

The palace maid was young and it was her first time seeing a childbirth scene. She was a little frightened and nodded and shook her head randomly.

"My queen, she's bleeding a lot..."

After saying that, she calmed herself down and continued.

"But the doctors said that the situation is not bad, and the bleeding has almost stopped. The Empress drank the labor-inducing medicine, and they said it will take effect soon. As long as we can hold on for an hour, the baby will be born safely."

Xiuchun's expression moved slightly, and an exceptionally friendly smile appeared on her face.

"In that case, I can rest assured. I'll accompany you to the water room! And by the way, let's see if those people are boiling enough water."

The young palace maid did not doubt it, nodded, and took Xiuchun to the water room.

The queen's back garden is very large, and there are many palaces and pavilions. It would be too troublesome to get water from the inner kitchen, so each palace has a water room.

Water is usually obtained from the nearest river or well.

There are four lakes in the entire harem, namely the east, west, south and north lakes. The waterway flows in from the north, winding its way through almost every corner of the harem.

Xiuchun came to the water room and saw several old palace maids carrying and pouring water, with smoke coming out all the time. She went in and took a look, and saw a young palace maid who had changed the basin to a new one with hot water, and suddenly called her.

"Wait a moment."

She walked over calmly and put her hand into the water to try it out.

"It's not too hot, add some hot water!"

Another palace maid who was scooping water nearby hurriedly added a ladle of boiling water.

Xiuchun nodded and let her go out.

She herself followed slowly behind.

The two of them returned to the main hall one after the other. Just as they walked up two steps, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Xiuchun, I finally found you."

It’s Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun walked over quickly.

"Her Majesty said that Concubine Rong had started a fight, and asked me to come over and keep an eye on it. The imperial doctors are all men, so it's not convenient for them to go in if anything happens... What's wrong with you? Why do you look so strange?"

Aunt Sun suddenly looked at Xiuchun suspiciously.

Xiuchun tried hard to maintain her expression.

"Ah... nothing, I'm just a little tired. Godmother, the two imperial doctors have just checked and said that Concubine Rong is fine. You have just taken over the Imperial Food Bureau and you must be tired after being busy for so many days. You should go back and rest first!"

Aunt Sun frowned, grabbed Xiuchun's wrist and pulled her to a corner.

"Tell me the truth, what's going on inside? Don't try to hide it from me! Although you hold a higher official position than me, I'm still your godmother!"

Xiuchun can remain calm in front of outsiders, but she feels guilty when she meets her godmother.

She didn't say anything. Aunt Sun frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly her face changed and she asked in a low voice.

"Did you do something?!"

"I do not……"

"Still want to deceive me? Tell the truth!"

Xiuchun pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

Aunt Sun gritted her teeth, her eyes flickering, and asked again.

"Was it your own idea, or was it the Queen's order?"

As soon as she asked the question, without waiting for Xiuchun to answer, she shook her head to deny her guess.

"No, if it was the Queen's order, she wouldn't have called me over again. Was it your own idea?"

Seeing that Xiuchun did not refute, Aunt Sun knew that her guess was correct.

She was so angry that she slapped Xiuchun on the back.

"What did I teach you? A doctor has a kind heart. I agreed to teach you medicine so that you can protect yourself, not so that you can harm others! If a doctor loses his original heart and wants to use medical skills to harm others, you are no longer a doctor!"

Xiuchun staggered after being slapped by her.

"I do all this for my queen!"

Aunt Sun slapped her again, this time hitting her on the head.

"You are confused! Is this for the good of the queen? If the queen really wanted to do this, would she ask me to come over? You and the queen grew up together, don't you know her? Is she the kind of person who would attack a pregnant woman with a child?"

Admittedly, Aunt Sun's understanding of Jiang Wanyue was only superficial, but she could also tell from Jiang Wanyue's behavior that she would disdain to do such a thing.

In the past two years, whether in the palace or in the Eastern Palace, just looking at Jiang Wanyue's behavior, you can tell what kind of person she is.

Moreover, her position is stable now and the emperor favors her, so why should she be afraid of Concubine Rong?

Aunt Sun slapped her twice, but she was still very angry, so she pulled Xiuchun's arm and walked out.

"Go back to Fenglai Palace and talk to the queen yourself."

She pushed Xiuchun out, lifted her skirt and quickly walked up the stairs.

Xiuchun felt a little regretful that she couldn't help but tell her godmother.

Seeing her godmother walking briskly, Xiuchun asked hurriedly, "Godmother, where are you going?"

"I'll clean up your mess! I'm so mad at you!"

Aunt Sun ran into the hall angrily, pushed away the two imperial doctors outside the screen, and rushed into the inner room.

The two midwives were shocked.

"who are you?"

Aunt Sun straightened her clothes and cleared her throat.

"I am the chief pharmacist of the Imperial Food Bureau. I am here on the orders of the Queen to help Concubine Rong give birth."

The two midwives were familiar with each other and naturally did not want to be interfered with by an outsider. The one with the long face immediately looked displeased.

"We are enough here. You are a pharmacist who doesn't know how to deliver a baby. Why are you meddling in this?!"

Aunt Sun snorted.

"I haven't delivered as many babies as you, but all the women and babies I've delivered have survived safely. If I didn't have this ability, why would the Queen have asked me to come here?"

The round-faced midwife smiled and said, "Master Siyao is a skilled doctor, and the two of us are naturally no match for him. But now, Concubine Rong is giving birth smoothly, so there is no need for Master Siyao to intervene. The two of us are enough."

Aunt Sun raised her eyebrows.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

The round-faced nanny said firmly, "Sure."

But just as he finished speaking, the palace maid who was helping to carry the quilt suddenly screamed.

"My queen is bleeding again!"

The two maids' faces turned pale and they looked down hurriedly, only to see that the bleeding that had stopped had started to flow again.

This time it was more ferocious than before, and in an instant, the mattress was soaked with blood.

"What's going on? How could this happen?"

"Imperial Physician? Imperial Physician!"

Aunt Sun sighed, pushed them away and came behind the bed.

She pulled out a silver needle from the bag she carried with her, ordered the palace maid to lift Concubine Rong's clothes to her chest, then held her breath and concentrated, and inserted a few needles.

After pricking a few important acupoints, the bleeding slowed down, and after a few more needles, the bleeding stopped.

The two maids and the palace maids were stunned.

This move is even more powerful than the one used by the imperial physician just now!

"Why don't you come over quickly and help?"

Aunt Sun wiped the sweat from her forehead and called out to the two midwives.

The two of them suddenly woke up and hurried over.

Aunt Sun made way for him, and seeing that the situation had stabilized, she turned around and went to the outer room to drink tea and rest.

The two of them really worked together in perfect harmony, one comforted the woman in labor and taught her how to push, while the other delivered the baby from behind.

In fact, this was not Wei Fuxue's first birth, and she knew what to do. She was just a little panicked at first. Now that the bleeding has stopped, she has calmed down.

Not long after, accompanied by her scream, the baby was finally born.

The two maids acted quickly and quickly cleaned up the stains on the child, wrapped him in a swaddling cloth, and handed him to Wei Fuxue.

"She is a lovely princess! Congratulations, Madam Queen. Congratulations, Madam Queen."

Wei Fuxue had a look of joy when she saw the child, but when she heard these words, her expression froze for a moment.

"Is it a princess? Not a prince?"

"It's the princess. There's no way we two or four pairs of eyes would be mistaken."

The two maids spoke in a very decisive manner.

Wei Fuxue's face was full of disappointment as he murmured.

"The imperial physician clearly said it was a boy..."

The two maids looked at each other, one led the other palace maids to make the beds, and the other held the child carefully.

"The Emperor must be waiting for good news! I will take the little princess to pay her respects to the Emperor."

Wei Fuxue seemed not to hear her words.

She was so tired and devastated by the news that she fell asleep before she could say two words.

The nanny took good care of the baby, put a hooded cloak over the swaddling clothes, and left Liufang Palace and headed for Liangyi Palace.

It seemed that all the palace servants in Liangyi Palace knew her, and no one stepped forward to stop her or ask questions, and they just let her go.

The maid entered the hall unhindered.

However, she did not see the emperor, but only a thin eunuch with a pale face and no beard.

The eunuch had no expression on his face, but he spoke quite politely.

"Thanks for your hard work."
