Chapter 24: Giving birth
“Okay, I won’t delay your rest.”
“I still have memorials to approve, so I’ll go back first.”
Your Majesty After listening to Cui Xiu's heartfelt words, she felt particularly comfortable and inexplicably confident. She no longer meant to embarrass Cui Xiu and left Chuxiu Palace in a cheerful manner.
"I respectfully send you to the Emperor."
After Cui Xiu sent this ancestor away, she walked to her bed without any hesitation. She only had one idea now, and that was to go to bed early.
Cui Xiu did not expect that the emperor would come to her Chu Xiu Palace at night to gain confidence. I have to say that their majesty is really childish sometimes.
Of course, sometimes, most of the time it is really annoying.
A venomous mouth, a dark face, and a lover of speculation.
Arrogant, suspicious, and cranky.
If anyone really likes the emperor, he will really suffer. After all, no one can truly enter the heart of an emperor. Even if someone can, it cannot compare to the position of power in his heart.
Thinking like this, Cui Xiu fell into sleep. He opened the window next to the bed and looked out the window. He saw the faint moonlight, the passing clouds covering some of the moonlight, and the gentle breeze. Floating, everything is silent.
-
The next day, the palace became lively early. The celebration banquet had been prepared for more than a month, and it was time for the display. The army returned in triumph, with everyone’s faces All overflowing with joy.
Although Cui Xiu went to bed a little late last night, fortunately he slept well and woke up a little early. However, before he had done much exercise, his stomach started to move.
Cui Xiu was so hurt that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly and made a sound from the pain.
Qiu Feng came in and saw Cui Xiu leaning on the round table. She ran to Cui Xiu anxiously and said, "Empress? Empress?"
"Empress, what's wrong with you? ?"
Cui Xiu heard Qiu Feng's voice, and she said slowly: "Quick, quick"
"Go find Sister Yun"
"And the girl Ming Ruo next to her."
When Qiu Feng heard Cui Xiu's words, her eyebrows twisted, she nodded in response, and then said: "Your Majesty, Qiu Feng will help you go to bed and lie down first. "
Cui Xiu did not refuse Qiu Feng, and allowed Qiu Feng to hold her up and help her to the bed. After Qiu Feng settled her down, he called Chun Feng and went to Concubine Yun without delay.
At Concubine Yun, Qiu Feng walked in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a tall and burly figure wearing court clothes and a black gauze hat. His sweet and steady voice reached Qiu Feng's ears.
“We are all supporting actors in this banquet, so naturally we can’t steal the limelight too much.”
Qiu Feng didn't care about so much anymore. When he saw Concubine Yun Gui, he immediately knelt down and said, "Concubine Yun, my master invites you to come."
Concubine Yun Gui saw Qiu Feng and she had just been talking to someone. Her smile faded, her face showed nervousness, and she asked, "Is Sister Jia Fei about to give birth?"
Qiu Feng listened to Concubine Yun's question, her tone was slightly anxious, and she immediately replied : "Empress Jia Fei is in severe pain. I want you and Miss Ming Ruo to go together."
"I guess she is about to give birth."
"Please come with me as soon as possible, Sit down for our mother-in-law.”
Although Qiu Feng was anxious, she expressed what Cui Xiu had told her in detail. When the man standing by heard Qiu Feng's words, he looked at Concubine Yun and said, "Elder sister, since Concubine Jia has something urgent to do." You, my brother, will not stay here for long."
Li Qun is wearing a purple official robe, his posture is as tall as a pine, and his aura is as strong as the sun. Under his sword eyebrows, there are a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars, and his words are revealed. When it comes to time, it comes with aloofness and sense of proportion. After listening to Qiu Feng's words, Concubine Yun subconsciously tightened her handkerchief, looked at Li Qun and said, "No, Qiyun, you go with me."
Concubine Yun knew , Cui Xiu must have had some unavoidable reason for not calling the imperial physician directly, and he could not let the imperial physician or the emperor know about it.
Since this matter is not a trivial matter, she is afraid that she cannot handle it alone, and the celebration banquet is coming. If something happens at this time, it will also be a big trouble.
Concubine Yun Gui thought to herself that since her He'er believed in her so much, she must not let down her trust and get her affairs settled and settled.
When Li Qun heard what the eldest sister said, his cold eyes froze for a moment, and then he raised his eyes and saw Concubine Yun Gui’s worried eyes. He said, "Eldest sister, my brother, please go to Jia. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for the concubine.”
Under such anxious circumstances, it is really touching that Li Qun was able to consider Cui Xiu and the power of rumors in the harem.
When Concubine Yun Gui heard what Li Qun said, she forcibly stabilized her mood, and then said to the little eunuch beside her: "Go and take the Duke to change his clothes."
Li Qun followed the young eunuch to change clothes. Concubine Yun quickly sent someone to call Ming Ruo. After all preparations were completed, Concubine Yun and her group went to Cui Xiu's palace.
After arriving at Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Yun took Li Qun and Ming Ruo in. The autumn wind swept away and closed the door.
The spring breeze was guarding Cui Xiu's bedside. The veins on Cui Xiu's temples bulged out. She heard some noises and said, "Is it Sister Yun?"
Concubine Yun Guifei Hearing Cui Xiu's weak cry, she hurried forward, held Cui Xiu's hand, and said comfortingly: "He'er, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Cui Xiu endured the pain and slowly She opened her eyes and looked at Concubine Yun Gui. She said: "Child, child."
"The baby seems to be born soon."
"But now, now, is not the time."
Cui Xiu can no longer think about which link is the problem. Her stomach hurts so much now that she feels like she is about to explode. , she will die if she doesn’t give birth.
While Cui Xiu was saying these words, Mingruo hurriedly came forward and took Cui Xiu's pulse before considering the following matters.
Although Cui Xiu said that he could not give birth yet, the matter of giving birth was not up to Cui Xiu. If he delayed it any longer, he might be killed.
None of them can bear this responsibility.
"He'er, don't be anxious. Let Mingruo take your pulse first."
Cui Xiu said softly, her scalp was numb and her spinal cord was numb due to the stomachache. , she raised her head subconsciously, opened her eyes slightly, and a familiar face fell into her eyes.
She seemed to have seen Li Qun.
Is she going to die? How could she see Li Qun in her palace? He is still the same as before, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and extraordinary appearance.
But he was different from before. He frowned, like a little old man who was busy with national affairs every day.
Many pictures flashed through Cui Xiu's mind, pictures that were far away from her. She thought she would never see Li Qun again.
"Empress, we can't delay it any longer. We have to prepare the things for the birth quickly."
"Empress Jia Fei is about to give birth." Ming Ruo felt her pulse and spoke urgently. The imperial concubine explained.
