Chapter 1294 Only one can be saved
"Fang Jun! If you dare to harm my child, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
A shrill scream sounded in the room, but Wu Meiniang heard Fang Jun's words and suddenly became excited, gritting her teeth and angrily scolding Fang Jun!
The muscles on Fang Jun's face twitched and he whispered to the old imperial doctor: "Do as I say!"
"Here!"
The old imperial doctor did not dare to disobey and hurriedly prepared the medicine to induce birth.
Fang Jun turned around and returned to the bed. Wu Meiniang's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. She stared at Fang Jun and hissed: "Keep the child! I want the child! That is our child, you can't hurt him...I Please...please...save the child, okay? I will die if I die, so I can save the child..."
She kept begging, her pale face showed despair, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes...
In order for the child to have a smooth birth, she would rather take an overdose of tocolytic drugs to postpone the delivery date; in order for the child to be born smoothly, she would rather die herself...
This is her and her husband's child. Even if she dies, she will give birth to the child!
She will fight anyone who dares to harm her child!
Not even Fang Jun!
Fang Jun looked at Wu Meiniang's desperate eyes and felt in a trance...
In the original history, the empress had no affection for her children. Not counting the eternal unsolved case in which she strangled her daughter to death and then framed the blame on the Queen and the Queen, her biological sons were all Didn't end well.
She and Li Zhi's eldest son Li Hong was established as the crown prince. He was praised both at home and abroad for his benevolence and filial piety. However, he was frail and sick. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, Li Hong traveled to Luoyang with the emperor and his wife, and died suddenly in the Qiyun Hall of Hebi Palace. He was only 2 years old. At the age of twenty-three, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi was very sad and made an exception to add the crown prince Li Hong as the emperor. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that a father posthumously crowned his son the emperor. This shows that Emperor Gaozong felt deep sorrow and regret for the premature death of the prince.
However, there are many theories about the cause of Li Hong's death...
This son, Li Xian, was handsome in appearance, dignified in manners, and quick in intellect. Prince Li Hong died suddenly, and Li Xian succeeded him. While he was the prince, he monitored the country many times and was praised both by the government and the public. In the second year of Tiaolu, Li Xian was deposed as a commoner for treason and was exiled to Bazhou. In the first year of civilization, Wu Zetian deposed the emperor and sent Qiu Shenji, a cruel official, to Bazhou to inspect Li Xian's residence.
Qiu Shenji went to Bazhou to detain Li Xian and forced him to commit suicide at the age of twenty-nine.
Li Xian, the "Prince Zhanghuai", has a reputation as a virtuous man. He once wrote "Cucumber Terrace Ci": Plant melons under the yellow platform, and when the melons are ripe, they will leave.
Picking once makes the melon good, picking again makes the melon thin. You can still pick three times, but you can pick all the vines and return them...
This poem complements Cao Zhi's "Seven Steps Poetry".
However, Cao Zhi's "Poetry in Seven Steps" is full of indignation, while Li Xian's "Cucumber Table Ci" is more of a desperate pathos...
After Li Hong and Li Xian died and the other was deposed, the third son Li Xian was established as the crown prince. Li Zhi died of illness in the first year of Hongdao, and Li Xian succeeded to the throne in the same month.
Li Hong reused Empress Wei's relatives in an attempt to form his own group. Pei Yan wanted to use Wei Xuanzhen, the father of Empress Wei, as his attendant, but Pei Yan immediately said he couldn't. Li Xian was furious and said, "I have given the world to Wei Xuanzhen, and I have nothing to do with it. How can I still begrudge one of my servants?" After hearing this, Pei Yan reported it to Wu Zetian, who was very angry at Zhongzong's actions. In February, Li Xian, who had only been emperor for thirty-six days, was deposed as King of Luling by Wu Zetian and demoted from Chang'an...
Li Xian was placed under house arrest in Junzhou and Fangzhou for fourteen years. He was only accompanied by his concubine Wei Shi. The two depended on each other and experienced all the hardships in the world. Whenever he heard that Wu Zetian sent envoys to live in uneasiness in Fangling, he was extremely frightened and wanted to commit suicide. Webster comforted him and said: "It is unreasonable to rely on misfortune and fortune. How can a person live without death? Why go now?”
After Wu Zetian became emperor, she had been troubled by who would inherit the throne. She was hesitant about whether to appoint a son or a nephew.
So she asked her confidant Di Renjie.
Di Renjie’s words can be said to have created an era...
"Emperor Taizong weathered the wind and rain, risked his swords, guns and arrows to pacify the world; Emperor Gaozong entrusted his two sons to your majesty, but your majesty now wants to give way to another clan, which is contrary to God's will. And who is related to the aunt and nephew, the mother and the son? If your majesty gives birth to a son, then for thousands of years, If you serve the ancestral temple, your inheritance will be endless; if you establish a nephew, you will never hear that your nephew is the emperor and offers sacrifices to your aunt’s ancestral temple.”
Wu Zetian then recalled Li Xian and made him the crown prince.
The fourth son, Li Dan, ascended the throne twice in his life and surrendered the world three times. The first time he ascended the throne was in the second year after Gaozong Li Zhi's death, he ascended the throne to replace his brother Li Xian who was deposed by Wu Zetian. The second time was twenty-seven years later, when Li Xian died.
Li Dan made three concessions to the world in his life, first to his mother, second to his brother, and third to his son, which can be called legendary...
However, such a cold-blooded politician would rather die than save the life of the fetus in his belly!
Fang Jun could see that Wu Meiniang was sincere and would rather die to save her child. However, whether this was because Wu Meiniang was deeply in love with him and valued their two children more than their lives, or because their fates in the past and present were different. Wu Meiniang, whose mind has not been polluted by the dirty things in the palace, shows her true nature and is eager to protect her son?
Fang Jun doesn’t know the answer either...
In particular, Fang Jun was deeply moved when Wu Meiniang took an overdose of anti-fetal drugs in order to delay her delivery.
Gently holding Wu Meiniang's hand, Fang Jun had tears in his eyes, but with a smile on his face, he comforted softly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Our family must live well and live happily. A certain If you don’t have a few sons to waste your wealth on a country that is so rich, how can you spend it all? You too, our family’s wealth of gold and silver is waiting for you to spend it. You are free and miserable, and now you are proud of it. How can you say such dejected words when you are so proud? Cheer up and give birth to a child. If the child can learn literature, he will be a brilliant literary giant in the future; if he can learn martial arts, he will also be a great writer in the future. The invincible commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty! Even if she is a girl, we want her to marry in glory, with a dowry spread all over the streets and making the whole family of daughters of the Tang Dynasty envious!"
Wu Meiniang's eyes glowed, she held Fang Jun's hand tightly, and said with difficulty: "Really...really can such a day happen? I...I can really give birth to a child?"
"Of course you can! Although you, Wu Meiniang, are a girl, you are far better at making decisions than a man. You dare to scratch the face of the Minister of Rites, so why don't you dare to fight against fate?"
A firm look appeared on Wu Meiniang's pretty face, she stared at Fang Jun's face, gritted her silver teeth, and her face was a little distorted: "Mr. Lang is right, I, Wu Meiniang, hate to be born as a man, how can I bow to fate? Even if it is the Prince of Hell. Come and fight for my life and my child’s life! I can’t leave my husband behind..."
Human willpower is the most mysterious and powerful force. It cannot be seen, touched or measured, but no one can deny its power.
Wu Meiniang is not willing to let her child die before birth, not to be willing to have such a heroic husband but let her go, not to be willing to go through a miserable childhood and finally have a happy life but not be able to enjoy it...
< br>
She gritted her teeth and held Fang Jun's palm tightly with her slender hands. The veins on the back of her slender hand popped out due to the exertion. Under Wen Po's encouragement and urging, she used her last strength to scream.
Use force! Use force!
She wants to fight for it with her life!
Fang Jun looked at Wu Meiniang, who had bitten her lip and had bulging veins on her slender neck, and her face was already ferocious, but tears were streaming down her face, and her heart felt like a knife.
This is a woman who is far better than a man!
Her anger, her unwillingness, her tenacity... were all in vain.
Watching the imperial doctor give Wu Meiniang the birth-inducing medicine, Fang Jun couldn't bear to look at the intense brilliance in Wu Meiniang's eyes.
If the child doesn't die, it won't be born, and in the end two people will die.
If you want your child to be born alive, you can only have a caesarean section. In this era of extremely low medical standards, such a caesarean section is no different from murder, and there is no way for adults to survive.
Either save the adults or the children...
Fang Jun bit his lip tightly, and a trace of sweet and fishy blood fell into his mouth. His eyes were red, but he could only suppress the pain in his heart and comfort Wu Meiniang softly.
"Push hard! Mei Niang, come on, come on, the baby's head has come out... Just use another force, and our child will be born..."
Wu Meiniang could no longer hear what Fang Jun said or what Wen Po said beside her. The unbearable pain caused her nerves to almost break, and there was only one thought in her mind!
I have to give birth to the baby!
Even if I die, I have to give birth to the child!
The strong will burst out with unimaginable power. She used the last strength of her body, suddenly arched her body, and opened her mouth.
"Ah——"
This was the last strength, which exhausted the last strength in Wu Meiniang's body. This roar shook the house, and could be clearly heard even in the whole house.
Then, Wu Meiniang's body collapsed softly like a deflated rubber ball, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was dying...
"Wow——"
Just when Fang Jun was heartbroken, a loud baby cry filled his eardrums.
It was like the gospel of the gods, filling Fang Jun's ears, making his mind go blank and his eyes confused.
Fang Jun's first reaction was not to look at the crying baby, but instead turned to look at the old imperial doctor.
What the hell, didn’t you give Wu Meiniang a birth-inducing drug?
What's going on with this crying?
What caught his eye was the old imperial doctor's dumbfounded and disbelieving expression...
There are a lot of historical materials in this chapter. I originally wanted to mention them all in one go, but I thought they were quite interesting, so I wrote them all. Well, it’s a little watery...
