When Yun Fenghuang arrived at Huzhu Palace, the place was already in chaos.
She asked Qingdu to grab a passing palace maid: "Where is Yuan Zhu? Isn't she the steward in front of Yue Xiuyuan? Why doesn't she come out to take charge of the overall situation now?!"
Because Yun Fenghuang was "pushed into the water" when she first entered the palace, Empress Ji seized the opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation of Huzhu Palace and almost wiped out all the attendants that Yuan Fu Niang had used for many years. Since the emperor came into power and the Ji family declined, Chunjia and Queen Mother Yuan had too many things to do, and they did not pay attention to Yuan Niang's mother.
So much so that in the past few months, the most useful person in Ningbi Hall has been Yuan Zhu.
Now that Yuan Zhu is nowhere to be seen, it's no wonder that the whole Ningbi Palace is in chaos. Such a big thing happened, and no one went to report to Queen Mother Yuan for a long time in the morning.
"Aunt Zhu has entered the delivery room to accompany the mother-in-law." The palace maid was already in a panic, but when she saw Yun Fenghuang behind her clearly, she didn't know whether it was fear or something else, tears fell down and she wiped them away. Choking with sobs, he said, "I went in at dawn and never came out!"
Yun Fenghuang's heart sank: "Where is the imperial doctor? Can I invite the imperial doctor?"
The palace maid cried and nodded: "The imperial physician is also inside."
This situation seemed to be really not good. Yun Fenghuang signaled Qingdu to let her go and was about to walk in when he heard movement from behind. When he looked back, it was Empress Dowager Yuan's phoenix chariot that was brought in. , just fell on the edge of the steps, the Queen Mother stepped out without anyone to help her, almost falling because her footing was unstable.
Seeing this, Yun Fenghuang and the nearby waiters rushed over to help him.
"Don't worry, the Queen Mother. Sister Yue and Jiren have their own destiny. Everything will be fine." Yun Fenghuang said something that he didn't even believe. He stretched out his hand to help the Queen Mother walk up. The Queen Mother looked pale and said nothing. , only nodded slightly.
We arrived outside the delivery room together. The place was not as chaotic as the outside. Because everyone was tiptoeing and did not dare to make any noise, the delivery room was also quiet.
But when she saw this situation, Queen Mother Yuan's expression changed and she asked Zhan Liu: "Ask me what's going on inside?!"
Zhan Liu took a few steps forward and asked in a loud voice, and then he heard Yuan Zhu's voice choked with sobs: "The Queen Mother, please forgive me for not coming out to see the ceremony. Empress Xiuyuan... Empress Xiuyuan... Empress, she has no strength now. She is holding the maid in her hand." My hand refused to let go. Your servant..."
He seemed to be choked on his next words and couldn't continue.
Empress Dowager Yuan was shaken immediately. Fortunately, Yun Fenghuang had quick eyes and quick hands to catch her and kept her from falling. After she regained her balance, she immediately pushed Yunfeng Huang away and said in a hoarse voice: "The Ai family wants to go in and see me." mother."
"Mother, I will accompany you in." Yun Fenghuang was going crazy in her heart. Although she had been hoping that Yuan Mei and her mother would not be well for a long, long, long time, and wished that this person would die if she encountered a dystocia, she absolutely did not want to. Something happened to her now - after all, looking at the current state of Queen Mother Yuan, if Yuan Yuniang goes like this this time, can you not resent the incident yesterday that stimulated the Queen Mother to watch Yue Xiuyuan grow up
Even if Queen Mother Yuan knew that what happened at yesterday's festival banquet was mainly Chunjia's handiwork.
But will the Queen Mother be willing to blame the son she regards as her own
impossible.
She will only vent her anger on Yun Fenghuang, a person with vested interests.
Yun Fenghuang didn't want to take such a scapegoat. She secretly cursed Yue Xiuyuan in her heart. She was so damned. It happened to be the day after the banquet, and it happened to be the days when the queen claimed she was ill... at all. Just deliberately looking for trouble for yourself!
Therefore, Yun Fenghuang racked his brains to show off, so as not to become the target of Empress Dowager Yuan's anger later.
However, Empress Dowager Yuan glanced at her and said: "No need, the real concubine is young and has never experienced anything. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it if she goes in. Just bring Zhan Liu in with the Ai family."
But Queen Mother, you are old but have never given birth to a child...
Yun Fenghuang subconsciously thought this in his heart, but did not dare to say it. He could only forcefully smile and nod: "The Queen Mother is blessed with profound blessings. If she comes in person, she will definitely be able to protect Yue Xiuyuan, and she will be safe and smooth."
There was no mention of the emperor's heir.
After all, given the current situation, it would be good for Yuan Yuniang to survive.
Her child, counting the days, it was just over six months and a few days shy of seven months, which happened to miss the old saying of seven days of life and eight months of death. Moreover, there was no movement in the delivery room at this moment. Yuan Zhu's mother Yuan Zhu had said it herself. Although Yun Fenghuang was not a stranger, but because he took care of Yi Xingen, he heard Jiang Lai tell Xie Hengyu that it would be very dangerous for the birth mother to lose her strength before the child was born.
Because of such a delay, a child who was originally good may lose his life or become dementia because he stayed in the mother's womb for too long.
Alas, regarding this matter, will I be assigned the task of assisting the queen later
Yun Fenghuang thought sadly, this is really an unforeseen disaster. She has been so busy recently, she definitely did not expect or plan to target Yuan Yuniang!
As a result, Empress Dowager Yuan took two steps out and suddenly said: "That's all, since you feel so inclined, just go in with the Ai family. Just don't get too close to the bed, so as not to scare you."
Yun Fenghuang: "???"
Although I don’t know why the Queen Mother suddenly changed her mind, if she had hated to be wary of her, she would definitely not have let her enter the delivery room at this time. As for not being too close to the bed to scare her, this was just a nice thing to say, and the Queen Mother definitely meant it. Don't let Yuan Yuniang know her existence, so that she will be stimulated again.
At this time, neither the Queen Mother nor Yun Fenghuang would be able to care about the so-called misfortune in the delivery room.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a smell, the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine, which was ominous.
Empress Dowager Yuan kept walking around the screen to enter, but Yun Fenghuang deliberately stopped behind the screen to avoid being discovered by Yuan Niang.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother turned her head and glanced slightly, without any intention of calling her. She went to the bed and asked the dying Yuan Yuniang in a gentle voice: "Mother? Mother?"
"...Why did Auntie come in?" The Queen Mother called out several times before Yuan Yuniang opened her eyes and said weakly, "It's not clean here. You'd better go out. You're not recovered yet."
The tone of her words was not very respectful, but the Queen Mother's tone became softer and softer, and she said with pity: "Your child... wasn't he fine before? How did he end up like this?"
At the end of the sentence, her tone was choked with sobs. Yuan Niang didn't answer immediately, so the Queen Mother asked the doctor next to her: "How is it?"
From the carved gap of the screen, Yun Fenghuang saw the imperial doctor lowering his head and did not dare to express his anger: "When I reply to the Queen Mother, Empress Xiuyuan is depressed in her heart. Last night... her mood fluctuated greatly... now... now... My son... can only induce labor. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Xiuyuan's life will be in danger."
The implication is that the emperor's heir will definitely not be able to do it. If the labor is not induced, the mother's body will not be saved.
"What about the oxytocin?" Queen Mother Yuan was startled, subconsciously clenched her sleeves, and immediately asked, "Is it because the oxytocin hasn't come yet, or is it?"
The imperial doctor lowered his head and said, "Empress Xiuyuan is not allowed to use oxytocin."
At this time, Yuan Yuniang, who was lying on the couch, whispered: "Auntie, the imperial doctor said that if the child is born at this time, the child may be..."
Empress Dowager Yuan burst into tears immediately: "How long has it been and you are still thinking about this?! What were you doing earlier - now you know you care about your child?!"
Outside, Yun Fenghuang's mood was a bit complicated. She had just heard someone report that Yuan Yuan's mother was going to give birth prematurely, and she heard Yuan Zhu say that Yuan's mother had no strength. She thought she had lost strength before giving birth... What happened? ?
Co-authored by Yuan Yu, mother-in-law felt distressed for her own flesh and blood when the crisis came. She was afraid that she would not be able to survive the birth, so she insisted not to induce labor and wanted to continue to conceive.
but!
If the pregnancy can be continued, then the imperial doctor would suggest inducing labor for the emperor's heir who is less than seven months old if he doesn't want to live anymore
The thoughts of other people's green plums are too strange to understand.
"... I didn't feel anything before." Mother Yuan was crying inside, "But just now, I suddenly felt that... this child is related to me by blood... I am... the closest person in this world... probably this child... "
This is actually very inappropriate. After all, no matter what you think in your heart, the closest person to a concubine must be either the emperor or the queen mother.
But Yuan Niang's behavior has always been like this. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, Queen Mother Yuan and Chunjia are satisfied and don't ask for anything else.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Yuan, instead of being angry, instead cried and encouraged her: "Then you should listen to the imperial doctor first. No matter what, you have to survive first. Otherwise, even if the child falls to the ground and loses his mother, how pitiful do you think it is?" !?"
Yuan Niang struggled immediately after hearing these words: "I don't! Auntie, the child is only so old. Just now the imperial doctor and Aunt Zhu said..."
"Go and cook the medicine!" At this time, Empress Dowager Yuan was not used to her mischief. She immediately ordered the imperial doctor, "Quickly... The Ai family doesn't understand medicine. In short, it is best if the mother and child are safe. If..."
She didn't finish her words, but she just said that Yuan Yuniang should survive no matter what. The imperial doctor naturally understood and kowtowed hurriedly.
Inside, Yuan Yuniang was still shouting: "Auntie, you can't do this!!! My child..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and Queen Mother Yuan suddenly slapped her in the face: "How many times have you made trouble since you were pregnant, but you have never made the Ai family feel that you value this child! But you also know that things My heart aches at this time! Have you ever thought about it?! The Ai family has raised you all these years, watched you grow from a little bit to now, and now you are pregnant... Can the Ai family be willing to let you go?!"
Before Yuan Yuniang could react, the Queen Mother seemed to have lost all her strength. She took two steps back and fell down on the footrest. She sobbed without caring about her manners or the people around her!
Yun Fenghuang, who was on the side of the screen, hesitated for a moment, walked out, knelt down next to the Queen Mother, and whispered: "Empress Dowager, please stop crying. Yue Xiuyuan is still young. After this incident, she will understand... For this plan, the health of you and Yue Xiuyuan is the most important. As long as they are still there, there is still a chance for everything else."
Empress Dowager Yuan was in a state of despair at this moment. She didn't blame her for rashly coming out to let Yuan Niang see her. She just covered her mouth and shed big tears. After a long time, the imperial doctor tremblingly brought the medicine, and then she raised her head and stared at it. Mother Yuan was shocked and angry on the bed: "Are you drinking it yourself, or is the Ai family pouring it for you personally?!"
"Even now, Yue Xiuyuan still feels that the closest thing you have is your child, and not the Queen Mother who regards you as her own child?" Yun Fenghuang sighed in his heart, rolled his eyes, and felt that his life was really miserable. But he solemnly said, "And after receiving the news, His Majesty rushed over in a hurry regardless of discussing matters with important ministers, and is currently lingering at the door?!"
Well, although she didn't know if the emperor was coming now, she was helping the Queen Mother to coax Yuan Niang. Queen Mother Chunjia wouldn't care about such a little thing.
Seeing Yuan Yuniang glaring at her, she felt relieved. If she still has the strength and the thoughts, she still has hope. "Yue Xiuyuan refuses to accept induction of labor. It's just because she feels sorry for the emperor's heir, but I want to punish her." Words from the heart: If today the emperor's heir is born and Xiuyuan is not here, how will the Queen Mother who loves you and your childhood sweetheart feel when they see the emperor's heir that you have left behind?!"
It’s not like there are no children who are rejected because their biological mothers died in childbirth!
Yuan Niang understood what she meant, opened her mouth, and was still hesitating, but Queen Mother Yuan had already snatched the medicine bowl from the doctor's hand, asked Zhan Liu to join her, and forcefully drank it for her!
