Chapter 148 Miscarriage
"Jianqiu, quickly bring over the pregnancy-maintaining medicine prescribed by the imperial physician."
As soon as the queen opened her eyes, she hurriedly gave orders.
"My lady, I will bring the medicine over right away."
Jianqiu responded quickly with red eyes.
The Empress Dowager was a thoughtful person and might have figured out something from the pulse diagnosis of several imperial physicians.
Not only did she not ask anything, she also lay quietly and rested.
Now as soon as she wakes up, she asks for pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and Jianqiu dares not neglect it in the slightest.
The imperial physician said that nourishing herbs were added to the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, which would reduce the harm of miscarriage to the empress.
Jianqiu carefully fed the black medicine juice into her master's mouth, spoonful by spoonful.
At the end, he handed a candied date to the person.
"My Lady, please have some candied dates to sweeten your mouth."
The queen opened her mouth obediently.
Honghui is most afraid of drinking bitter medicine, so she has to use candied dates to remove the bitterness.
When Jianqiu opened her eyes in the middle of the night, she saw the Queen sitting beside the bed.
She was so scared that she quickly got up from the recliner and walked over quietly.
"My lady, why are you still awake?"
"I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep."
The Queen got out of bed and put on her soft flat shoes.
"Jianqiu, please talk to me."
"Okay, my lady, I'll light another candle."
Jianqiu agreed repeatedly. Since she had served the empress in the night, the empress had hardly ever said a word to her.
She gently helped her mistress to the table, "My Lady, please have a cup of ginseng tea to warm yourself up."
"Jianqiu, I'm lucky to have you by my side these years."
"This life of your majesty has been given to me, and I am willing to follow you my whole life."
Ever since Jianqiu could remember, being beaten was a common occurrence for her. It was the young empress who rescued her from the sea of suffering.
When my mother was alive, she once said that one should be grateful and repay kindness.
She has been doing this for years.
Even the emperor could not change her desire to follow the empress.
"My lady, I will protect you with my life."
"I knew you wouldn't disappoint me."
The queen pushed her onto the stool.
"How is Doctor Yang?"
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Yang slipped and fell into a ditch, breaking his leg. I heard he has submitted a petition to retire and return home."
Jianqiu was very dissatisfied with Doctor Yang for retreating at the critical moment, and had ordered people to keep an eye on his every move.
"Okay, if the emperor agrees to his memorial, I will send his family back home."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the queen's dark eyes.
"Did the people we sent out that night complete their mission?"
"Reporting to the Queen, the Shufei, who was in hiding during the daylight hours, was startled and her fetus was disturbed. The imperial physician has advised her to rest."
"The Concubine Hua of Qingliang Palace injured her foot and I heard she can't even walk."
"There were people guarding the shore of Fuhai, and our people were unable to board the small wooden boat to Penglai Island."
Jianqiu knelt on the ground and reported in detail.
"Okay, I understand."
Hua Fei had skilled fighters sent by the Nian family, so it was understandable that she failed to succeed.
Zhen Huan is the emperor's favorite.
What about Concubine Shu?
It seems that she underestimated An Lingrong, who had only been in the palace for two years.
The queen stroked her belly over and over again.
"Honghui, you must be well. Mother is waiting for you to come out."
"Your father's Imperial Hospital has gathered together the world's most famous doctors, and they will definitely take good care of your mother."
......
She chatted with the baby in her belly for half an hour before lying back on the bed at Jianqiu's urging.
Jianqiu, who was a few steps away from the bed, covered her mouth tightly and cried silently.
The queen always believed that the child in her belly was the eldest prince.
If another accident happens, how will she survive?
Jianqiu tiptoed out of the hall, kowtowed three times, and recited silently in his heart.
"God, all this has nothing to do with you, my lady. If you want to punish me, then punish me."
"The queen just wants a child. Please be kind and give her a normal child in the future..."
The dim light from the lantern under the eaves shone from afar on the person who was kneeling and kowtowing, flickering and looking very unreal.
Ten days later, the imperial physicians of Taohuawu were coming in and out, and soon the news came that the empress had suffered a miscarriage due to fright.
Then the emperor issued another decree, saying that the queen should rest quietly and no one should disturb her.
Qingliang Hall
When Concubine Hua learned that the Queen had a miscarriage, she ran into the inner room crying and laughing.
"Songzhi, do you think this is retribution?"
"The Queen has killed so many people's children. She lost two pregnancies in recent years."
She also silently added in her heart that this was also the emperor's retribution.
"My Lady, the wicked will be punished sooner or later. You must take good care of yourself and witness their end with your own eyes."
The incident of Huan Yixiang has become a scar in the hearts of both the master and the servant.
Whenever Songzhi thought of what the emperor had done to the empress, she felt a chill down her spine.
She had thought silently many times how great it would have been if the late emperor had not given her to the emperor as a concubine.
No one knew better than her how much her mother loved children.
But all this was ruined by the emperor whom she held in her heart.
Seeing the queen crying, Songzhi made a cautious suggestion.
"My queen, how about we go up to the sky to see Sixth Prince? It's been a while since we last met, and he must be missing you."
"An Lingrong is busy taking care of herself, I can't go and cause trouble for her."
When Concubine Hua thought of Hongzhan calling her "mother" in a baby voice, her heart softened.
"Songzhi, please fetch some soft fabrics so I can sew some clothes for Concubine Shu and her children."
"Your Majesty, since you like Concubine Shu's child so much, why don't you bring one over to me when the time comes?"
Concubine Hua waved her hand and said, "Songzhi, I don't want to hear such words again."
No matter what, the Nian family is a family of military generals. Even if my brother goes, a lean camel will still be bigger than a horse.
The emperor will not allow her to have children.
It's enough for Concubine Shu to be able to give birth. Her future wealth and glory may depend on those children.
An Lingrong, whom she was thinking about, also received news from Taohuawu at this time.
She touched her growing belly and stared blankly at the calm water of the Houhu Lake.
After the queen finishes her confinement, she will certainly treat the pregnant women in the harem even more harshly.
At that time, the Yonghe Palace would probably be in turmoil again.
An Lingrong thought about it, picked up her pen and wrote a letter home to explain to her mother, Lin, the matter of concubines in the palace accompanying childbirth.
After all, she still hoped that her mother could be by her side.
