Chapter 646: Cruel Palace Maid x Sinister Eunuch (16)
Recently, the concubines in the harem discovered something extremely strange: Concubine Shu, who had always been at loggerheads with the Empress and jealous of her, had become unusually quiet and no longer acted like a troublemaker.
When greeting each other every day, she just sat there quietly and no longer made sarcastic remarks from time to time like she used to.
Originally, the concubines had speculated that Concubine Shu might have restrained herself because of her pregnancy, but as time went by, until the Empress was about to give birth, there was still no news of Concubine Shu's pregnancy.
Not only that, Concubine Shu also came to pay respects to the Empress every day as usual, and even went for a walk in the Imperial Garden. From this point of view, she obviously did not look like she was pregnant.
The concubines became more and more confused and started talking about it. After all, she had always been someone who was dedicated to causing trouble for the Empress, and it was really puzzling that she suddenly became so quiet.
If Concubine Shu had not been as arrogant and domineering as before, not giving anyone any face at all, they would have really suspected that Concubine Shu was possessed by a ghost.
Late at night, the palace was silent and quiet, until suddenly a scream broke the silence - the Queen had taken action!
The news spread throughout the harem like wildfire. The concubines woke up from their sleep and hurried to Fengyi Palace.
However, surprisingly, Concubine Shu was the first to arrive.
There was a tense atmosphere in the delivery room. The queen's forehead was bulging with veins from the pain, and she was almost tearing the sheets beneath her.
Waves of severe pain came over her, and the queen could no longer hold back and cried out in pain, "Yan Yan... Yan Yan... It hurts so much... It hurts so much..."
Her voice was filled with pain and fear, which made people feel pity. Tears rolled down her cheeks and soaked the pillow.
Yu Yan looked at the queen distressedly. She squatted beside the bed, gently wiped the sweat on the queen's forehead with a soft handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, my queen, I'm here with you!"
Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if they could give the queen strength.
After saying this, Yu Yan turned around and told Shuanglu beside her: "Go and see if the ginseng soup is ready? Bring a bowl to the Queen."
Shuanglu nodded immediately, turned around and ran out of the room.
When she walked out of the delivery room, Concubine Shu came up to her immediately and asked anxiously, "Why did you come out? Is there something wrong with the Queen?"
"No, I just went to serve the ginseng soup."
Shuanglu quickly shook her head, and then trotted off to serve the ginseng soup.
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but listening to the screams coming from the delivery room, she became very nervous and couldn't help pacing back and forth.
Concubines: “???”
No. Is she crazy?
The queen is giving birth, why is she so anxious?
It was as if the baby in the queen's belly was hers.
She has already made all the expressions here, what should she do when the emperor comes?
Some of the overthinking concubines couldn't help but wonder if Concubine Shu was planning to take action against the Empress, and after the Empress died, she would take the child and raise him?
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this possibility was very high. They were secretly frightened that Concubine Shu was being too arrogant.
As time passed, the queen's contractions became more frequent, her face turned pale as paper, and her body trembled slightly.
Yu Yan held her hand tightly and kept encouraging her to hold on.
Finally, Shuanglu brought the steaming ginseng soup. While no one was paying attention, Yu Yan threw a black pill into the bowl.
This pill was specially made by her for the queen.
After eating it, the pain of childbirth can be reduced by 70% to 80%.
Even if the queen noticed it, she would not doubt it. She would only think that it was because of the pain just now that she had become numb and that was why she didn't feel that much pain anymore.
Yu Yan carefully helped the queen up and asked her to drink ginseng soup to replenish her strength.
After the queen drank a few sips, she seemed to regain her strength instantly, and the excruciating pain of childbirth didn't seem so painful anymore.
But her brows were still furrowed, because the midwives were always paying attention to the opening of the uterus and instructing the queen on how to give birth to the child smoothly.
At this time, the emperor finally arrived, and Li Jinhua came with him.
The emperor was resting in her bedroom tonight. When he heard that the queen was about to give birth, they both got up from bed.
As soon as the emperor arrived, he asked Concubine Shu about the situation inside.
Concubine Shu smelled the strong scent of powder on him, and she suppressed her nausea and told him what happened inside.
After hearing this, the emperor nodded, ordered someone to bring a chair and sit down, and stood guard outside the delivery room.
The scene suddenly became quiet, no one spoke anymore, and Concubine Shu also returned to her cold expression, no longer as anxious as before.
In the delivery room, everyone worked together, hoping to help the queen give birth to a prince or princess smoothly.
As time passed, the queen's labor pains became more intense. Finally, a clear baby cry was heard, and the entire delivery room was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of joy.
"It's born! It's born! It's a little prince!"
The midwife announced excitedly, and the queen laughed tiredly, then fell asleep due to exhaustion.
Outside the delivery room, the emperor heard the midwife announce the good news. A trace of gloom flashed across his eyes, but he quickly recovered and laughed out loud.
"Okay, okay, Queen, you have worked hard. Reward, reward generously. All palace servants will receive an extra month's salary."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The palace servants were overjoyed and knelt down to express their gratitude.
The emperor's face was full of joy. After seeing the child, he ordered someone to take good care of the child and then returned to his own palace.
It’s getting late and he has to attend the morning court tomorrow!
After the emperor left, all the concubines also dispersed, but their faces did not look very good.
Of course, this does not include Concubine Shu, who was so happy that she even ran in with her skirt lifted to see the child!
