First Concubine

Chapter 270 Separation of flesh and blood (2)

Yao Cheng felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in his chest and he was about to be out of breath. Seeing his appearance, Zhuge Xi sighed secretly and said with relief, "Don't worry too much. Linglong's medical skills are amazing. You have to have confidence."

Yao Cheng held back the pain and nodded. Zhuge Xi asked as he walked: "It's about the palace..."

Yao Cheng's eyes sharpened, and his tone was rare cold and decisive, "Huh! So what if he puts on the dragon robe? Our Yao family will never recognize his throne! Although he controls many officials, there are still many The elders of the three dynasties did not go to the banquet, and they all followed the Yao family. If the Yao family doesn't nod, I want to see how long he can last as emperor! "

Zhuge Xi thought of the last time he saw Shangguan Qian, and felt a slight pain in his heart. It was all the fault of the Supreme Emperor and Shangguan Yan, who caused her mother and sister to be like that! To be fair, she would rather all the Yun family be displaced, and she would also like the Supreme Emperor to experience the pain of losing a loved one! If Xun Feng came to the Yao family to persuade him to surrender, she thought she would be the first to vote in favor!

 A couple entered the inner house with different thoughts. When they went to Mohe Courtyard to get nothing, they turned back to Qingyou Courtyard.

"What? Princess Zhenbei is having a difficult delivery?" In the Hualong Palace, Xun Feng had put on a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the main seat, indicating the whereabouts of the Yun family one by one. Bingbing, the little prince, and the little princess were sent to the palace. "Recuperate", in this way, even if the Supreme Emperor captures Mobei one day, he will still have hostages to negotiate terms with him. As soon as he finished annotating the last document, Jin Shanggong came over in a hurry and reported the news in Zhenbei Palace. He has lived in the palace for two years. Not to mention planting spies, it is not difficult to find out what is going on inside. Especially when people from the palace invited Mother Luo to go before dawn. What does this mean?

A hint of smile appeared in Jin Shanggong's eyes, "Yes, the princess suffered from massive bleeding and shock before she was born. I don't know if it was the amniotic fluid embolism that the emperor mentioned."

"Haha..." Xun Feng looked up to the sky and laughed, "God finally helped me! After fighting Shui Linglong for so long, this is the only time God has been on my side, but once is enough! Sometimes, the outcome is determined by the outcome. Isn’t this the most critical time? Jin Shang Palace!”

Jin Shang Gongfu lowered his body and said, "Your Majesty!"

With a stroke of his pen, Xun Feng said, "Bring medical equipment and medicines and go to Zhenbei Palace as quickly as possible!"

Snapped! The ink-stained brush fell onto the smooth and new floor, leaving countless mottled ink stains. The little palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and did not dare to express her anger. Xing'er picked up the brush and put it back to its original place, and then told the maids: "Please step back, it's enough for me to serve you." After she let Dong Jialin run away, Mrs. Zhen was furious and immediately had her removed from the chai. The house was fished out, sold for ten pieces to a brothel. Fortunately, she was clever and coaxed the guest to take her outside to have fun, and knocked the guest out halfway to escape. After wandering for a while, she finally waited for the news that Dong Jialin was canonized as the concubine of the eldest son of Pingnanhou Mansion, so she rushed to Pingnanhou Mansion, and Dong Jialin did not forget the promise he made to her that day. Now, Prince Xun has become the emperor, and her master has become the empress. As for her, it is natural for her to become a highly respected female official beside the empress.

Dong Jialin glanced at the little palace maids who were filing out, as if she saw herself who was once humble and begging for mercy, and she felt more and more disgusted in her heart. Withdrawing her gaze coldly, she picked up the honey grapefruit tea on the small table and said, "Why did the emperor go to the palace? Didn't he go to court early?"

Xing'er frowned and said, "I don't know. She seems to be beaming with joy. Is there any happy event in the palace that makes Long live the Lord so happy?"

 Happy event? The palace? Dong Jialin kept reciting these two words in her heart, and Myolie added: "I heard the maids mentioned Mama Luo, and it seems that Mama Luo went to the palace in the middle of the night."

Isn’t Mama Luo a midwife who specializes in delivering babies? What was she doing at the palace? In the blink of an eye, Dong Jialin guessed Xun Feng's plan, "The princess must be unable to give birth and wants to ask the emperor to save her! Stop the emperor quickly! We can't let the emperor carry Shui Linglong into the palace!"

Xing'er was stunned, "How... how to stop it? Your Majesty is not like Prince An. No one... can stop what he wants to do!"

Dong Jialin pressed her forehead, cold sweat streaming down her cheeks. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, and she had an idea!

 In the bright hall of Qingyouyuan, Leng Chengkun and Zhuge Xi were at war with each other.

"My sister has already sacrificed once for your Zhuge family. Do you have to ask her to sacrifice again? It's not enough for you to kill Yan'er. You are going to kill my sister and her second child again! Your Zhuge family, don't Do you think this is too inhumane?" Leng Chengkun slapped the table and shouted, his body shaking heavily with every sentence he spoke, showing that he was extremely angry.

Zhuge Xi punched the table with his fist, causing the cup to rattle, "Then we have to sacrifice Linglong's happiness? Why should we ask Linglong to trade for herself? The entanglement back then had nothing to do with Linglong! How innocent is she? How innocent are my brother and sister? How innocent is my brother?”

Leng Chengkun frowned coldly, "Since you marry into the Zhuge family, you are a member of the Zhuge family! As the so-called father's debt is paid by the son, the sins committed by the previous generation should be paid by this generation! Besides, what Xun Feng wants It’s just Shui Linglong’s person, it’s not her life!”

Zhuge Xi was furious, "Leng Chengkun! You were the one who slept with Shangguan Yan! You were also the one who lost the antidote! It was you who really harmed Yan'er! Why do you want to blame this debt on the Zhuge family? Come on, count it on Linglong?”

Mrs. Leng remained silent. Yao Cheng pulled Zhuge Xi's sleeve and said, "Let's calm down. It's pointless for us to argue so much. The key lies in Linglong's decision."

Zhuge Xi threw his hand away and said coldly: "If you put pressure on a pregnant woman and a fetus with the life of a pregnant woman, what other choice can she make besides compromising?" After a pause, he looked at Zhuge Liu again. Yun, "Father! We can use other conditions to negotiate with the new emperor, but we must not lose Linglong! Doesn't he want to consolidate the imperial power? The Zhuge family, the Leng family, and the Yao family will all be loyal to him! I don't believe it. Women can’t compare to half of him!”

Yao Cheng looked embarrassed, "The Yao family cannot betray my aunt and cousin..."

“The imperial edict has arrived—” When everyone was in a stalemate, Eunuch Deng said in a high-pitched voice as he stepped into the hall.

"Prince Concubine! That...that one is here..." the little maid reported out of breath.

Shui Linglong frowned, "Who is here and you are so flustered?"

The little maid swallowed her saliva and replied: "Madam."

Shui Lingqing's whole face was white when she walked in. She smelled the smell of blood in the room, but she couldn't see the situation inside the bed through the curtain. She only knew that Luo's mother was working hard to implement rescue measures, and Dr. Hu was far away. Cook medicine in the dining room. She held Shui Linglong's hand and said, "Sister, when I just passed by the flower hall, I heard a loud noise inside. The Leng family leader had to force you to enter the palace."

Shui Linglong said expressionlessly: "You and Ah Jue are newly married. It's hard to stay in the house. Why are you here messing around? Go back quickly."

"Of course I have something to ask you for. I..." Before Shui Lingqing could get to the point, another maid opened the curtain and came in, "His Royal Concubine, the imperial edict has arrived. Your Majesty invites you to come to the flower hall to receive it."

Shui Linglong and Shui Lingqing froze at the same time, especially the latter, who dropped the handkerchief. Shui Linglong thought she was simply worried about her, so she said calmly: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Sister, I..." Shui Lingqing wanted to say something else, but Shui Linglong had already straightened her clothes and walked out of the room. Shui Lingqing was sitting in the outer room, listening to Cen'er's whimpering cries, and the helpless sighs of Mother Luo and Doctor Hu, and she couldn't help but clenched the medicine bottle in her wide sleeves. half an hour ago…

 “I’m here to see Empress Zhaoyi!” She was dressed in the imperial robes of a married woman and entered the palace at Hui Zhaoyi’s invitation before dawn. Hui Zhaoyi received her warmly. This was the first time she met Hui Zhaoyi alone. Hui Zhaoyi was beautiful, even more beautiful than she imagined.

Hui Zhaoyi wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and said melancholy: "I didn't want to disturb your rest, but the emperor just went to the palace because of the difficulty in giving birth to the princess. The princess has difficulty in giving birth, and only the emperor can save her. "You must have heard what happened at the banquet last night. If your eldest sister begs the emperor, you must sacrifice yourself. The princess and the fetus are in danger, and I am worried that the emperor will use this to blackmail your eldest sister and force her to enter the palace."

 She was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold, "The princess is having a difficult delivery...look for...the midwife and the royal doctor..."

Hui Zhaoyi sighed bitterly, "I have lived in the palace for two years and know some inside stories. The princess was originally sterilized. Although she was lucky enough to be pregnant with the child, the risk of childbirth is extremely high. In addition, she had a hemorrhage. This time... I’m afraid it’s going to be a disaster!”

She burst into tears, "My eldest sister is very smart. If she doesn't want to, no one can force her..."

Hui Zhaoyi wiped the tears on her cheeks with a handkerchief, as gentle as the mother in her memory, "They don't have to force you, eldest sister. They just need to use the palace's seal and a divorce note to expel your eldest sister from the palace." , your eldest sister will no longer be a minister's wife, and when the emperor issues a decree to appoint her as a concubine, even the officials will not be able to pick her out!"

She burst into tears. Hui Zhaoyi took out a bottle of elixir and said, "Although I have nothing to do with the palace, you are my sister-in-law. Even for your sake, I can't just sit back and ignore it. This is a Jianghu. The pregnancy-preserving medicine prepared by the miracle doctor last night turned red after I fell in the palace. Thanks to it, my fetus was safely preserved. You can take it and let the princess take it. As long as the princess is safe and healthy. Now, the palace and your eldest sister don’t need to beg the emperor.”

After experiencing so many things, she was no longer the little girl who was inexperienced in the world. The relationship between the palace and Hui Zhaoyi was delicate, and she was a little worried about Hui Zhaoyi's intentions. However, Hui Zhaoyi took a pill in front of her. She was still worried, so she tried one pill herself after leaving the palace. Regardless of whether this medicine is effective or not, at least it is harmless.

The little maid served a cup of tea and said softly: "Mrs. Dong Jia, please drink tea."

Shui Lingqing returned to consciousness, and a stronger smell of blood came from the back room. She frowned, put the tea on the table, opened the curtain and entered the room, "I have medicine that can stop bleeding. I have taken it, but there is nothing." question."

 Mama Luo and Cen'er both looked at her, their eyes flashing with hope...

"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the eldest daughter of the Shui River is exquisite, Suyong is beautiful, gentle and courteous, soft and bright, quiet and upright. She is now the concubine Chen. She is awarded the gold book and gold seal. I hereby express my gratitude!" Eunuch Deng finished reading the imperial edict. , looked at the people waiting below with a smile, "Long Live Lord is waiting in the carriage outside. When will this imperial edict take effect? ​​When will Long live Lord come in to treat the princess? Don't blame us for not reminding the prince. Long live Lord has plenty of time to spend with you." It’s expensive, Princess… but she may not be able to afford it.”

For this imperial edict to take effect, Shui Linglong must be divorced first. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, if the husband-in-law is not around, the head of the family can stamp his seal and expel him from the house. Zhuge Liuyun clenched his fists tightly, and the bloodshot eyes seemed to burst.

Leng Chengkun stood up immediately and handed the divorce letter to Zhuge Liuyun, "Hurry up and stamp it! What's the big deal about having a daughter-in-law? Just let Xiaoyu marry another one! The emperor really loves her, she is To enjoy happiness, not to suffer! Maybe she is secretly happy!"

boom! But it was Zhuge Xi who broke the cup in his hand, "Leng Chengkun! Your sister is a human being, isn't Linglong? How could you say such heart-wrenching words? Can Linglong survive without her husband and a pair of children? Are you having fun? Okay, let’s see if she’ll be happy by marrying your wife into the palace.”

 Mrs. Leng’s mouth twitched!

"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, don't get excited!" Yao Cheng hugged Zhuge Xi's waist, for fear that she would fight with Leng Chengkun. Originally, they came here to solve the Yao family's problems, but they met by accident. The princess was born prematurely... it was really... alas!

Leng Chengkun ignored Zhuge Xi and just sent the divorce letter forward again, "You owe this to my sister, you owe Yan'er! You owe it to my mother! My mother has died with no peace of mind, and you still want her to be here?" Can’t you rest under the Nine Springs?”

Zhuge Xi was imprisoned by Yao Cheng and could not move forward, so he had to kick his feet constantly, "Leng Chengkun, don't be too selfish! Father, don't stamp it! Think about how Xiao Yu came here all these years! In order to How did he keep his mother? He fell from the roof and broke all his bones... If Linglong was gone, he would go crazy... He would die! "

Shui Linglong quietly maintained her kneeling posture without saying a word, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Eunuch Deng looked at her quietly. Others were so noisy that he wanted to scold her, but she was so calm and didn't even frown. Are you really indifferent, or are you despairing? Shui Linglong is not indifferent, nor is she despondent. Her husband and her children are all living well in the world, so why should she be despondent? She is waiting.

"Mrs. Dong Jia, are you sure this medicine is effective? Do you want to wait until Dr. Hu comes to take a look?" Mother Luo opened Leng Youru's lips with her fingers and asked worriedly before putting the pills in.

Shui Lingqing said urgently: "Hurry up and save people! The princess is breathing out more and taking in less air! If she delays for a moment longer, the princess will be in more danger! Empress Zhaoyi in the medicine palace ate it in front of my interview, and I also Eat it, no problem!”

Mother Luo has seen countless people, and one look at Shui Lingqing's expression told her that she was not lying. The Empress Zhaoyi in the palace must be the former Aunt Dong Jia. Things are so unpredictable, a sparrow flies on a branch and turns into a phoenix. Zhaoyi was ranked first among the nine concubines, and was only one step away from becoming a concubine. If an emperor's heir was born, regardless of male or female, the person would have to advance to the next rank. In this way, the other party would not be able to make fun of the emperor's heir. Mother Luo put the pill into Leng Youru's mouth, paused, and smiled at Shui Lingqing: "Mrs. Dong Jia, don't blame me for being careless. In fact, even though there is only one word between hemostatic medicine and blood-activating medicine, the effect is world-wide. On the other hand, I am afraid that you will take some blood-activating medicine. You know, it is fine for ordinary girls to take some blood-activating medicine, but pregnant women must not take it! It’s a life-threatening situation! Empress Zhaoyi is pregnant, so she took this medicine, so she thought it was right!”

 Speaking, he put the dark red pill into Leng Youru's mouth.

Suddenly there was a loud thunder in the sky, which made the window lattice tremble...

In the flower hall, Leng Chengkun was aggressive, Zhuge Xi cursed angrily, and the two sides were in an uproar. After a while, Zhuge Liuyun stood up slowly, his eyes were scarlet, and he gently pushed the divorce letter in Leng Chengkun's hand, "I will accompany Youru and the children, no matter where they go." Although Xiaoyu and Linglong's life cannot be sacrificed. Happiness saves you, but I will definitely accompany you, heaven or hell.

“Father—” Zhuge Xi burst into tears, “Don’t—Father, don’t do stupid things—”

Shui Linglong smiled with tears in her eyes. She took the divorce letter from Leng Chengkun, took out the seal from her purse and stamped it. She found that she could not stop the reincarnation. It was not that Xun Feng would not let her go, but that God would not let her go. She held back the layers of sadness and said with a faint smile: "Master Leng is right. Why should I be unhappy about being able to enter the palace and become a queen?"

Eunuch Deng was so busy that he prostrated himself on the ground: "I'm here to say hello to you, Concubine Chen! I'm a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Zhuge Liuyun was shocked, "Linglong!"

Zhuge Xi turned away and leaned into Yao Cheng's arms, crying.

Lightning and thunder roared, the cold wind howled, and in a moment it rained heavily.

Xun Feng's lab staff wore strange costumes and carried boxes after boxes of equipment and medicines into the delivery room. Because Youru was afraid of the cold and had a difficult delivery, Shui Linglong specially built a small surgery room in the delivery room compartment. Room, shadowless lamp, operating table, scalpel, trolley, sterilizing drugs...everything is available. When Xun Feng and others rushed into the delivery room, Luo's mother had just fed the pills into Leng Youru's mouth. Xun Feng's eyes sharpened, "What did you give her?"

Mama Luo was frightened by the sudden tsunami-like momentum, "Hui...Hui Shizi...No, Hui Long live the Lord, it's the hemostatic medicine...given by the wife of the minister."
