EBE Chapter 167: Delivery process, outside the delivery room
Chapter 167: Delivery process, outside the delivery room
"Come on, I'll go right away."
After saying that, Su Peisheng ordered the young eunuch to take the man away forcefully.
When An Lingrong heard the news that her sister was about to give birth, she ignored everything and hurried to Tianran Painting.
After paying her respects to the emperor, she kept looking into the delivery room.
Listening to my sister's muffled groans in the delivery room mixed with the midwife's screams, it was heartbreaking to hear.
If the Emperor hadn't been here, An Lingrong would have wanted to go straight into the delivery room to look after her sister.
The Queen and others here rushed over as soon as they received the news.
The Queen did not expect all this to happen so quickly. She had been focusing on Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu during this period, and had neglected the elusive Xiang Concubine.
Fortunately, she had already made preparations in advance and was waiting for Xiangpin to die like her sister.
Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth into a tiny arc, but she quickly covered it up with a worried look.
An Lingrong naturally noticed the change in the Queen's expression, and became more alert, fearing that the Queen had done something wrong.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
The queen bowed respectfully to the emperor.
But at this moment, the emperor was completely focused on the palace and had no energy to even look at the queen. He just casually waved his hand at the queen, signaling her to get up.
"Greetings to the Queen."
Even if An Lingrong dislikes the Queen, she still cannot forget the proper etiquette.
The Queen smiled and looked at An Lingrong and said, "Noble An and Concubine Xiang are indeed good sisters. They came earlier than me."
Seeing this, An Lingrong quickly said, "I do get along well with Xiangpin, so I hurried over when I heard the news that Xiangpin had given birth."
The emperor was already worried about Xiangpin in the delivery room, because Xiangpin didn't scream, so he had to listen carefully to hear her voice.
But the Queen and An Lingrong were talking here, so the Emperor couldn't hear Xiangpin's voice, which made the already upset Emperor even more irritated.
He glanced at the queen impatiently and said, "Queen, is it wrong for Concubine An to come early?"
The implication is, just ask, ask, what is there to ask.
The Queen felt a little uncomfortable when the Emperor glared at her, but seeing how the Emperor was doing with Xiangpin's baby, she felt even more fortunate that the move she had made before was the right one.
If Xiangpin gave birth to the baby in her belly, wouldn't it threaten her position as queen in the future?
The Queen's subsequent actions against Fu Cha Zhixi's pregnancy were partly because she hoped to get rid of the pregnancy as soon as possible, but partly to cover up the chronic poison she had previously given to Concubine Xiang.
In this way, Xiangpin would be attracted by what she was doing now and ignore her own physical problems.
The queen greeted the other concubines who came over with a smile, and acted magnanimous and compassionate, with obvious worry on her face, as if she was worried about the situation in the delivery room.
"Mrs. Shen, you are pregnant now, why did you come here? It would be bad if you were disturbed by the bloody smell."
When the Queen saw Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan also rushed over, she walked forward and spoke with some concern.
"Yes, you have a child now. It would be bad if he gets scared."
The emperor rarely pulled his attention away, turned his head and looked at Shen Meizhuang and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and Empress. We are all His Majesty's concubines. Now that Xiangpin is giving birth, I cannot help her, but I have to come."
Shen Meizhuang said with a shy smile.
Now she naturally knew that she was not pregnant with a child, but she could not act rashly for the time being. She had to wait for the right time to get rid of this so-called child.
Shen Meizhuang inadvertently caught a glimpse of the mocking expression on Concubine Hua's face when she was talking, and she hated her even more.
If it were discovered that she was faking her pregnancy, not only would she be severely punished, but the Shen family would also be implicated.
How could she not be angry when Concubine Hua used such a vicious scheme to frame her?
She now wished she could tear Concubine Hua apart alive, but she could not show any abnormality on her face.
As Zhen Huan listened to the noises coming from Concubine Xiang in the delivery room, she became more and more frightened.
She had never seen such a scene before. Even when her mother gave birth to her sister, her father was afraid that it would scare her and asked someone to watch her so that she wouldn't see this scene. So now she was really afraid of her own future pregnancy and childbirth.
Zhen Huan looked at the Emperor standing at the door of the delivery room, looking extremely worried. He kept pacing back and forth, obviously looking anxious and uneasy. She felt a little more envious.
If the person lying in there was me, would the emperor be so worried and anxious?
"Your Majesty, why don't you have some tea and take a break? I don't think Xiangpin will give birth soon."
Now that Concubine Hua had successfully regained the emperor's favor thanks to Lou Dongfu at the banquet, she naturally would not miss this good opportunity to show her courtesy and took the initiative to bring a cup of tea to the emperor.
"No, I don't feel like drinking tea."
The emperor glanced at Concubine Hua and waved his hand, but did not take the teacup from her hand.
At this moment, Xiangpin's screams in the delivery room became louder and louder. The sound of pain was so painful that it was hard to imagine that the person making such a sound was Xiangpin, who was out of touch with the world.
When the emperor heard the voice, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He watched basin after basin of blood being brought out. For an instant, he seemed to have returned to the scene when Chun Yuan gave birth, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
He was afraid that Xier would leave him like Chunyuan did back then.
"Your Majesty, it will probably take several hours for this woman to give birth, especially for Xiangpin, who is having her first child. It's getting late, so why don't you go and have a rest early, and leave this place to me."
The queen took the initiative to step forward and advise the emperor virtuously.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"It's still unknown how long Xiangpin will take to give birth. Your Majesty can't just wait here forever. If she doesn't come out, does Your Majesty have to wait forever?"
Concubine Hua waved the round fan in her hand and advised the emperor.
Zhen Huan couldn't help but frown. What Concubine Hua said was too harsh. Wasn't she cursing Concubine Xiang to have a difficult childbirth?
Shen Meizhuang already hated Concubine Hua, and now she felt that she was too cruel and heartless. She had no sympathy for Concubine Xiang, who was also a concubine.
An Lingrong stared at Concubine Hua with a sinister look, wondering how dare she curse her sister.
Concubine Hua, Concubine Hua!
After her sister gives birth safely, she will definitely make Concubine Hua suffer a serious setback.
