When the three of them arrived at Concubine Ying's palace, Concubine Ying was lying on the bed dying, and had already passed out from the pain. The emperor and the empress sat on the side, while Jun Chengrong stood by the bed with a worried look on his face. After all, she is her mother and concubine, so there is no reason not to worry.
The imperial doctors waited on one side, bowed their heads and remained silent. The servant girl in the palace knelt on the ground, sobbing and crying softly, as if she felt that Concubine Ying was dying. Although this posture is not as good as when Concubine Rong gave birth, it is still very dignified.
"Your Majesty, Prince Lin has arrived." The guard at the door came to preach.
"Please come in." Emperor Yanxi said, the word "please" was obviously for Gu Yao.
Jun Lixuan and Ling Qi bowed to the central bank, but Gu Yao still stood aside, without any expression, and Emperor Yanxi didn't care, he just said: "Go and see Concubine Ying, the imperial doctor can't do anything, so I have to call you here."
Even if he has no feelings for Concubine Ying, he still has to try his best to save her. After all, the harem is inseparable from the previous dynasty. If the old officials know that the emperor doesn't care, it will be chilling.
"Yes." Ling Qiyang agreed and walked to the bed.
Jun Chengrong was sitting on the side bed, the scissors were still stuck in Concubine Ying's abdomen, Jun Chengrong was pressing the edge of the wound with a white scarf, but obviously it didn't have any effect of stopping the bleeding, the white scarf had been stained with blood, look It looked very dangerous.
The smell of blood made the pregnant Ling Qiyang quite uncomfortable, so Gu Yao followed and said to him, "Go outside and wait."
Ling Qiyang didn't force himself, nodded and retreated.
After Gu Yao checked Concubine Ying's pulse, she looked at the wound and said, "The wound is deep, it's best to suture it. She has lost a lot of blood, so there is no need to delay, otherwise her life will be lost."
When it came to suturing, all the imperial physicians were taken aback. It's not that no one uses this method, it's just that it's rarely used. Sometimes the timing of removing the stitches is wrong, either because the wound has not healed or the stitches are not easy to pull out. What's more, this time it is not only an external injury, but also the inside needs to be stitched, which is even more difficult.
Seeing that Gu Yao had a solution, Jun Chengrong immediately said: "Please, senior, save my mother and concubine."
Gu Yao turned his head to look at Emperor Yanxi, and said, "We don't need so many people here, just leave two more courageous ones."
Emperor Yanxi nodded, left an imperial doctor and an attendant behind, and led the crowd to the main hall to wait for news.
Gu Yao asked Ling Qiyang to write the prescription of Mabosan for oral administration, and asked the servant to fry it into a bowl. He cut off Concubine Ying's clothes, applied Mafeisan ointment for external use on Concubine Ying's wounds, and then sealed Concubine Ying's several large acupoints with silver needles to slow down her bleeding. After the Mabosan that was taken internally was decocted, Gu Yao asked his attendant to feed Concubine Ying to take it, and after the effect of the medicine took effect, he wiped off the ointment and disinfected it with spirits. Only then did he pull out the scissors, and with the assistance of the imperial physician, he cut open the wound on the abdomen again. After the internal situation was clear enough, he started to sew up from the inside with a special gut.
In the main hall, the emperor and the empress sat on the main seats, Jun Chengrong, Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang sat on both sides, and in the middle were people from Yingfei Palace kneeling.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Emperor Yanxi said coldly.
The servants were shaking like chaff, unable to answer a single word.
"The emperor calm down." The queen said softly beside him, then looked at the people kneeling on the ground, and asked: "Which of you followed Concubine Ying to Concubine Rong's place?"
"It's a slave."
"It's small."
Concubine Ying's dowry maid and valet knelt and took a step forward and said.
"Why did Concubine Ying suddenly go to Concubine Rong? What did you say to Concubine Rong? You tell the truth." The Queen asked, although her tone was calm, she still had the aura of being a palace lord.
The two knelt there cowardly and said nothing.
"You guys are talking!" Impatient with the two people's submissive attitudes, Jun Chengrong said loudly: "If you don't tell the truth again, I will have someone torture you to see if you say something or not!"
"Presumptuous! I'm still here, it's your turn to show off!" Emperor Yanxi said angrily. Jun Chengrong's tone seemed to be his decision in the palace, which displeased Emperor Yanxi very much.
Seeing that Emperor Yanxi was angry, Jun Chengrong knelt down and said, "My son is reckless, please forgive me." I should also pay more attention to it, but I have no idea, the emperor's attitude towards him is still the same...
"Chengrong is also worried about Concubine Ying, the emperor should not be angry with him." The empress persuaded her kindly.
Emperor Yanxi looked at Jun Chengrong, who was bowing his head, and said "get up", and didn't look at him again.
"Thank you, father." Jun Chengrong got up and sat back.
Emperor Yanxi looked at the two people who were serving Concubine Ying, and said: "Although Concubine Rong is arrogant, she dare not hurt others for no reason. She stabbed Concubine Ying today, there must be a reason for her. If you don't tell me, I can do it." Go ask Concubine Rong. It's just that you two don't need to stay."
"The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life!" The servant girl cried out immediately, "It's really none of the servant's business, the servant has already persuaded the concubine Ying, but the servant is humble, how can the concubine Ying listen to the servant?"
"What's going on?" Emperor Yanxi asked.
The maid looked at the servant on the side. The little attendant said: "Return to the emperor's words. Concubine Ying suddenly said today that she wanted to visit Concubine Rong. The younger one and Lian'er both persuaded the empress, but the empress insisted on going, so the younger one and Lian'er had no choice but to follow. At Concubine Rong's place, the empress asked us to wait outside. The younger one heard that the empress told Concubine Rong about the Rong family and the fifth prince, and laughed at Concubine Rong, saying that the emperor valued the power of the Rong family at the beginning. Dote on Concubine Rong, now that the Rong family has collapsed, and the fifth prince has also been expelled from the imperial family, the emperor naturally does not want to see her. Concubine Rong is no longer the imperial concubine she used to be. In the past, Concubine Ying relied on Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the empress, so she will just wait to die in the palace..." The waiter paused for a moment, then continued: "Concubine Rong was probably out of breath, so she stabbed the empress. When the empress called for help , the little one and Lian'er rushed in, and saw that Concubine Rong wanted to pull out the scissors and stab Yingfei Empress again, but was knocked away by the little one with all her strength, so she didn't succeed..."
After hearing this, the emperor immediately threw the teacup in his hand, and it shattered with a "snap".
At that time, when the emperor made the decree, considering that the imperial concubine had a miscarriage and was not fully recovered, he couldn't bear to provoke him, so he ordered the person serving Concubine Hou Rong to keep her mouth shut and only told her the emperor's will for her and the Rong family. There is no need to let her know about Jun Chengxi. So Concubine Rong always thought that the fifth prince was just grounded.
Originally, everything was well hidden, but Concubine Ying unexpectedly told her about it.
The queen sighed, and said: "When the concubines in the palace came to pay their respects, the concubine specially told her not to let the concubine Rong know about the fifth prince, and not to let the servants in her palace talk nonsense. I didn't expect that ..." The queen bowed, "I also ask the emperor to forgive me."
"Father, the mother concubine must have been confused for a while, please forgive me." After hearing the servant's words, Jun Chengrong also knew that the situation was not good for Concubine Ying, and immediately begged for mercy.
Emperor Yanxi looked at Jun Lixuan who had been silent for a long time, and asked, "What do you think?"
He shouldn't have said much about the harem, especially about women, but since the emperor asked, Jun Lixuan stood up and said, "In my opinion, Concubine Ying feels that Concubine Rong has been neglected by her father." , even if they know, they are still under confinement, and there is no one to confide in if they don't see the father. That's why they are so bold and defy the father's will. It's just that I didn't expect that Concubine Rong would stab her."
Emperor Yanxi nodded, agreeing with Jun Lixuan's words.
The queen's eyes wandered between Jun Lixuan and Jun Chengrong for a moment, and she smoothed things over and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ying's life is the most important thing now, and the rest will be discussed after Concubine Ying is safe."
Emperor Yanxi clenched his fists, suppressed the phrase "she deserves it", and sat down on the chair again.
"Okay, let's all get up. Go outside and wait outside, and report immediately if you have any news." The queen said. She knew that the emperor was upset, so the fewer people in front of her the better, even Jun Chengrong was sent out to wait at the gate of Concubine Ying's bedroom.
"I have to clean up the harem some other day." Emperor Yanxi took a sip of tea brought by his attendants, feeling relieved.
"The matter of Concubine Ying is just a special case. The other concubines in the palace will stick to their duties, and the concubines will definitely discipline them strictly in the future to prevent this kind of thing from happening again." The queen said.
Ling Qiyang sat on the side, gently stroking his stomach with his hands, as if to comfort the little guy inside.
Seeing that he seemed unwell, Jun Lixuan quickly asked, "What's wrong? Uncomfortable?"
Ling Qiyang smiled and said: "It's okay, he's moving. I'll make him quiet."
"Is the baby moving already?" the queen asked with joy.
"Yes." Ling Qiyang replied.
Although the queen wanted to come up and touch her, but since Ling Qiyang was a man after all, it was difficult to say so. Emperor Yanxi also stared at Ling Qiyang's belly, as if he also wanted to feel the liveliness of his grandson, but Ling Qiyang was Jun Lixuan's wife, so it was really inconvenient for him to touch it.
Jun Lixuan stroked Ling Qiyang's stomach, and these two little things didn't know which one was moving. But as a father, Jun Lixuan is still very happy. Seeing the empress staring eagerly, he smiled and said, "Does the empress want to come and touch her?"
"Can you?" The queen looked at Ling Qiyang.
Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded. Although the child was moving, it didn't hurt him, so he was happy for the child to move his hands and feet.
The queen came over, in order not to break the rules, first spread the handkerchief on Ling Qiyang's stomach, and then put her hand on the handkerchief. Perhaps feeling a pair of strange hands touching them, the child suddenly became quiet for a while, and then kicked the queen's hand as if tentatively.
The queen smiled pleasantly and said, "Your Majesty, the child is really moving, and it is very energetic. It must be a strong child."
Emperor Yanxi was also very happy to hear that, and said: "Qiyang is still too thin and needs to be supplemented. I will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs pick some high-quality supplements and deliver them to your house, and let Qiyang eat them all."
"Yes. Thank you, Father." Jun Lixuan stood up and thanked him. It doesn't matter whether it is useful or not, as long as the emperor's temper is calmed down now, it will be fine.
An hour later, an attendant ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ying's wound has been stitched up, and her life is safe."
"Where's Gu Yao?" Emperor Yanxi didn't care about Concubine Ying, but only asked Gu Yao.
"Master Medical Sage is washing his hands, he will be here in a while." The attendant said.
Not long after, Gu Yao walked in, with the same cold face, neither happy nor tired.
"Come here, serve tea." The emperor ordered.
Gu Yao sat next to Ling Qiyang, and said: "Concubine Ying's life is safe, but the wound is too low, and I'm afraid she won't have a child in the future. Even if she does, she won't have a miscarriage within four months." At the place where a child is conceived, even if you are pregnant, as the belly grows bigger, the wound cannot support the expansion and thinning of the inner wall.
"No problem." Emperor Yanxi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
Gu Yao drank his tea with his head down, and didn't say anything more.
Afterwards, Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang went to the Queen's Palace to rest, and went back after dinner. And Gu Yao was invited to Emperor Yanxi, as for what Emperor Yanxi wanted to talk to Gu Yao, no one knew...
Looking at the backs of Emperor Yanxi and Gu Yao leaving, Jun Lixuan suddenly felt that it might have something to do with Gu Yao that Daddy Ling could be named the first-rank emperor. Although Ling Qiyang has made meritorious deeds, it is reasonable for Ling's father to confer the imperial order. But it is reasonable to say that it is almost enough to be sealed to the third rank, and it is indeed a surprise to be promoted to the first rank. Originally, he thought that there was also an element of rewarding him and Ling Qiyang, but now thinking about it, it may be because the possibility of Senior Gu Yao is more likely, and The enthronement was also after Gu Yao came back with ginseng...
"What's wrong?" Ling Qiyang touched Jun Lixuan who was in a daze.
"It's nothing." Jun Lixuan supported Ling Qiyang and walked towards the Yakun Palace. The shadows of the two were dragged out by the sunlight, and they were very long and intimate...
