Chapter 170: Thoughts at 1 o'clock
Chang Xin retreated gratefully.
Xiuchun was busy reorganizing the palace maids in Fenglai Palace and was temporarily unavailable. Jiang Wanyue thought about it and called Xuzhi over.
"Go to Liangyi Palace to see Eunuch Wang. The weather is getting hot, so bring him a pot of tangerine peel and mung bean soup."
Wang Jun is from Lingnan, and this tangerine peel and mung bean soup is a common drink in Lingnan.
Xuzhi understood what he meant, bent her knees and went out.
Jiang Wanyue leaned in the armchair, looking out the door, her eyes shining.
She was not depressed because of what happened today, but felt better instead.
She had thought that life in the Eastern Palace was too dull before! Now, suddenly, she had something to do.
I feel a little excited when I think about it.
At the same time, in Liufang Palace, Wei Fuxue, lying on the bed, was trying his best to endure.
Waves of pain came from her lower abdomen, making her break out in cold sweats. She could only stop herself from screaming by biting her lips tightly.
This pregnancy was more difficult than her previous two, and was far more serious than her previous two births.
As early as two months ago, the imperial physician diagnosed that she was pregnant with a boy.
Her hope, and Ping'er, all rest on this child.
So, over the past few months, Wei Fuxue has been taking good care of her pregnancy without any other thoughts.
She also knew that Li Ce had given up his feelings for her a long time ago. Instead, it was Jiang Wanyue who had been asking people to take care of her and had even hired several imperial doctors to help her preserve her pregnancy.
If there was no other choice, she wouldn't want to give birth today.
But Ping'er couldn't hold on any longer in Tianfu Temple.
Wei Fuxue couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of the letter Ping'er sent him last night.
Ping'er was born into a wealthy family and had been pampered since childhood, but she was bullied by those old nuns in Tianfu Temple!
Wei Fuxue took a deep breath, held back her tears, and clutched the quilt tightly.
She had no choice but to give it a try!
Not long after, she heard the palace maids shouting outside.
"Gong Sun, you are here."
Wei Fuxue tried to cheer himself up and saw the person who walked in.
It wasn't Jiang Wanyue, but Xiuchun, the maid beside her.
She was a little disappointed.
If I could meet Jiang Wanyue, given her soft-hearted personality, maybe I could ask her for help in bringing Ping'er back.
Wei Fuxue knew very well that Li Ce would not come.
She didn't expect to meet Li Ce.
Therefore, at the very beginning, the palace maid was asked to report the letter to Jiang Wanyue.
But I didn't expect Jiang Wanyue didn't come either...
Just when she was getting anxious, she heard Xiuchun speak.
"Don't worry, Concubine Rong. The imperial physician is on the way. Although your baby is not yet full-term, if you take good care of it in the past few months, I believe you will be able to give birth smoothly."
Xiuchun smiled and spoke in a gentle tone. After she finished speaking, she directed the palace maids to clean up the room and make it look like a delivery room.
Concubine Rong gave a forced smile.
"Today is the Queen's big day, we shouldn't disturb her..."
She had just started to speak, but before she could say what she really wanted to say, she was interrupted by Xiuchun.
"It is still Empress Rong who is sensible and knows the importance of things. The Empress is very busy. She has to take care of all the ladies in the harem, discipline several princes and princesses, and receive ladies from other courts. She is very busy. Empress Rong has always been well-educated and well-mannered. I think she will not embarrass the Empress, right?"
These words forced Wei Fuxue to swallow back all the words in her heart.
At this time, the imperial physician and the midwife arrived one after another. Xiuchun said no more and turned around and went outside.
The people who came were the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau and the two imperial physicians who were most skilled in obstetrics and gynecology in the hospital. The two midwives were also the most famous in the capital, and Jiang Wanyue had someone arrange them early on.
Throughout the Liufang Palace, palace maids and eunuchs were guarding every gate and in charge of every place. With Xiuchun keeping things in place, there wouldn't be any mistakes.
After the three imperial doctors took the patient's pulse, they all looked a little strange.
But the three of them said nothing. One went to get a prescription for inducing labor, and the other apologized and gave Wei Fuxue an acupuncture to stop the bleeding.
While busy, the messenger quietly walked out of the palace.
When Xiuchun saw him coming out, she immediately went to greet him.
"Sir, what do you need?"
The court attendant frowned and politely bowed to Xiuchun: "We have two imperial doctors here, which is enough. I will go to Liangyi Hall to report to the emperor now."
After saying that, the hospital attendant directly called the apprentice who was carrying the medical box, and the two of them quickly walked down the stairs.
Xiuchun took a look inside. All the layers of gauze curtains had been lowered. She couldn't see what was going on inside clearly. She could only see a few blurry shadows reflected on the gauze curtains.
Soon, Wei Fuxue's cries of pain were heard from inside.
Xiuchun's eyes flickered slightly, and a thought popped up in her mind uncontrollably.
It is said that giving birth for a woman is like taking one foot into the gates of hell, and one could lose her life if she is not careful... Rong Fei, this annoying stone, has lived long enough.
Since the emperor doesn't like her and the young lady is tired of her, why not take this opportunity to get rid of her?
As soon as this thought came up, it instantly occupied Xiuchun's entire mind.
She had studied medicine for the past two years and knew several ways to kill people silently. As long as the operation was performed properly, no one would notice.
