EBE Chapter 358: Cowardly Thing
Chapter 358: Cowardly Thing
Concubine Hua understood the mother and daughter's style of doing things too well.
After all, they are a family.
The women in the harem are, after all, nothing more than the emperor's playthings and production tools.
Who cares about the life or death of a tool?
Concubine Hua agreed readily.
Sometimes there are many roads, and even if you don’t want to walk on them, there will be many people and many things that will build steps for you to walk on.
In fact, Concubine Hua didn't know that Shen Meiyu was in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace at the moment. Early in the morning, the servants of Chuxiu Palace saw the people from Concubine Hua's Yiku Palace busy in and out, so they became suspicious and went to report to their master.
After Shen Meizhuang knew everything, she decided to go to Shoukang Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager early in the morning.
The Empress Dowager was wondering why Concubine Hui came to Shoukang Palace before she went to pay her respects to the Empress.
While helping the empress dowager dress and wash, Shen Meizhuang brought up the fact that Fu Cha promised to have a difficult childbirth. As the champion of the previous palace fight, how could the empress dowager not hear the hidden meaning?
They are all women who have been to the gates of hell. Even though there is Zhen Huan between Concubine Hui and Fu Cha, Concubine Hui couldn't bear it, so she came to this old lady for help.
In fact, what happened at that time, hey, only the old woman knew everything, and there were so many tricks involved. The queen was too smart.
Fucha is also innocent.
The emperor wanted to vent his anger on Concubine Wan, so he could only take action against Fucha.
Well, Shen Meizhuang happened to come over, so the empress dowager took advantage of the situation and naturally sent Zhu Xi to go there.
The Queen Mother said that the emperor's heir was the most important thing, and that anyone who needed any precious herbs could go to the Imperial Hospital.
This is considered to be protecting his unborn grandson.
Time seems to stretch longer when a woman is giving birth.
Judging from the time, the emperor should have left the court.
Fu Cha agreed but fainted twice in the middle, and the baby still didn't come out.
Concubine Hua sent Zhou Ninghai to the Yangxin Palace to report the news that Fu Cha Ying was giving birth, and Zhou Ninghai only brought back three words: "I know."
Another half hour passed.
According to the time, the morning greeting ceremony at Jingren Palace on the Queen's side should have ended, but there was still no movement at the opposite door.
When Concubine Jing heard the news of the birth, she also rushed over and told Concubine Hua and the others that the servants of Jingren Palace had informed all the palaces in advance and that there was no need to pay respects today.
Listening to the movement in the room, the midwife must have seen the baby's head. There was a hint of joy in her voice that hope had come.
Concubine Qi sat in the outer room and couldn't help wiping her eyes. She remembered that when she gave birth to Hongshi in the palace, she was also heartbroken and in excruciating pain.
After going through the pain of childbirth, which woman would be willing to raise her child in the arms of another man?
No, I must practice dancing well and get Hongshi back.
An Lingrong listened to the intermittent sounds in the bedroom. Fu Cha's painful groans and the nanny's tired encouragement reminded her of her mother.
Although my mother lives in the capital now, will I have the chance to meet her again in this life?
Hua Fei's eye sockets were very deep, and she did not wipe away her tears like An Lingrong and Qi Fei.
She wondered if the pain of childbirth would be worse than the pain of miscarriage.
In this life, she is still not qualified to be a real mother.
She can be reborn in this life, so will she be surrounded by children and grandchildren in some time and space?
What Concubine Jing was thinking was roughly the same as Concubine Hua's. Although she had never given birth in her life, having Wen Yi really made up for the regrets in her life.
As for the emperor, haha, the emperor is really heartless.
There was a commotion inside the bedroom, but it was silent outside.
"Come out! Come out!"
"The Queen is here!"
Two voices, one cold and one hot, one sad and one happy, rang out simultaneously inside and outside the bedroom.
Hua Fei and others stood up at the same time.
They looked at each other and found that they didn't know whether to continue to raise or put down the half-smiles on each other's faces.
"Hello, Queen." The muscle memory formed by the body makes decisions faster than the brain.
"Everyone, get up." The Queen stood at the door and asked the concubines to stand up. "Has Fucha promised to give birth?"
The Queen asked.
An Lingrong and Fang Chunyi were of lower status, so naturally it was not their turn to speak. Concubine Jing was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and as for Concubine Hua, she didn't want to pay attention to her, so she ignored her.
It was Concubine Qi who stood up with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is blessed by the lucky star. As soon as you came, Fucha promised to give birth, and we haven't even gone in to see it yet."
"That's right, Your Majesty, let's go in and take a look together." Fang Chunyi added.
Concubine Hua: You two are cowards.
Concubine Qi and Fang Chunyi: When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
"Really?" The Queen couldn't hide the tiredness on her face. Even when she smiled, she looked reluctant.
Concubine Hua didn't think the Queen was pretending. It seemed that she really didn't get enough rest and rushed over.
The queen went ahead, and the concubines followed behind her.
The bloody smell in the bedroom has not yet dissipated.
The midwife had just cleaned a tiny baby, dressed him in clean clothes, and wrapped him in a small quilt.
When Wei Lin saw the queen come in, he lowered his body and knelt down.
Several maids also knelt down.
"Did Fucha promise to have a boy or a girl?" the Queen asked.
"Your Majesty, it's a little princess." said the midwife holding the child.
"Princess." The Queen's voice was particularly calm. "How is Fucha's health?"
"Replying to the Empress, Fucha promised that giving birth had exhausted her physical strength and her body was too exhausted. She was bleeding a little earlier, and now... she has fallen asleep."
Wei Lin thought, since I have my eyes closed anyway, it doesn’t matter whether I sleep or not.
"Well, she's worked hard." The Queen looked at Fu Cha, who was lying on the bed with a very pale face, with sympathy and agreed, "But if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."
The queen looked regretful.
"Empress, Fucha promised that he was weak. Now, regarding the oleander pollen matter, Cherry in the Ministry of Punishment refused to admit it no matter how much torture she endured."
"They say that within three days of entering the Ministry of Punishment, anyone will tell the truth. But it's been so long, and Yingtao hasn't admitted that Fucha poisoned Wanpin. I wonder if Fucha could agree to confine her to the Yanxi Palace until the truth is revealed?"
Concubine Jing spoke.
According to the emperor's decree, Fu Cha would be imprisoned in the cold palace right after giving birth. Fu Cha's body would definitely not be able to bear it, and she would probably die within a few days.
"I know very well that Fucha is in poor health now, but...ah...the emperor's words are golden, and I can't say anything." The queen looked embarrassed.
