Chapter 603: Big or Small
When the old emperor arrived at Luhua Palace, there were already many people in the palace.

Empress Song arrived earlier than the old emperor, and was anxiously sitting in the outer hall waiting.Next to her were two girls, Song Ziying and Zhou Yuyan.

When everyone saw the emperor, they immediately stood up and saluted.

Seeing these many people in the hall, the old emperor frowned slightly, and couldn't help reprimanding him: "The noble concubine's fetal gas is moving, and she just needs to be quiet. What are you all doing here?"

Empress Song got up and quickly explained to Song Ziying and the two: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not their fault. When Sister Yun's accident happened, they were in my palace to pay their respects. When they got the news, they were also very worried about Sister Yun. Come with them."

The old emperor looked at Empress Song with dissatisfaction, and looked at the silence of the two favorite concubines. He didn't say anything, and asked instead: "How is the situation at Yun'er?"

Empress Song sighed, and replied, "Both Chen Yizheng and Mrs. Wen are inside. Chen Yizheng said that the child is almost full term, and there is no problem in giving birth now, but because it is twins, it is somewhat difficult to give birth."

As soon as Empress Song finished speaking, Concubine Yun's shrill scream came from the delivery room.

Everyone outside was startled.

Zhou Yuyan and Song Ziying, who had never given birth, turned pale with fright.

Empress Song looked in the direction of the delivery room worriedly, then turned her head to look at the emperor in front of her. Seeing his worried expression, she immediately persuaded softly: "Your Majesty, this is how a woman gives birth, let alone sister Yun's birth. It's twins, you sit and wait for a while, I'll go in and see the situation myself."

"The empress should wait outside with me, just let Xu Fu in." The old emperor said perfunctorily, instead of letting Empress Song in, he sent Eunuch Xu in to inquire about the situation.

Empress Song naturally had no objection, she nodded docilely, but a shadow flashed in her eyes very quickly.

Eunuch Xu went in for about a stick of incense, and then came out. With him, there was also the doctor of the Imperial Hospital, Dr. Chen.

Seeing Chen Yizheng, the old emperor immediately asked without waiting for him to salute: "How is your concubine doing now?"

Chen Taiyi was sweating profusely, with a bitter face, and cautiously replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's fetal position is somewhat abnormal, and her body is relatively weak. The fetus has not been born in the womb for a long time, and there may be a danger of dystocia and massive hemorrhage."

The old emperor's face darkened when he heard this, and he said in a cold voice, "I order you to ensure the safety of the noble concubine and the prince's mother and child, otherwise you will not be an imperial doctor!"

"I obey! I obey!" Imperial Physician Chen knelt down in fear and replied tremblingly, his face was as white as gold paper.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Imperial Physician Chen is already the most skilled doctor in the Imperial Hospital. He will definitely keep Sister Yun and the two little princes safe." Empress Song frowned slightly, persuading the emperor at the right time.

The old emperor snorted heavily and did not speak again.

At this time, Concubine Yun Gui screamed again in the delivery room, and Imperial Physician Chen hurried back to continue the treatment.

In this way, the time went from morning to noon.

Empress Song had been fiddling with the Buddhist beads all the time, but seeing that it was getting late, she said softly to the emperor beside her, "Your Majesty, it's already noon, why don't you want to go back to rest, there are concubines here Look, if Sister Yun gives birth to the emperor's son, I will send someone to notify you immediately."

Just as Empress Song finished speaking, a faint cry of a baby suddenly came from the delivery room.

"It's born!" Zhou Yuyan, who was sitting behind Empress Song, couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The smile on Empress Song's face froze for a moment, just as she was about to show a happy look, the emperor beside her stood up excitedly.

Eunuch Xu, who had been guarding in the delivery room over there, also moved very quickly. He trotted out and told the old emperor panting, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine gave birth to a little princess!"

The old emperor was a little disappointed when he heard that the baby was a princess, but he still smiled and asked quickly, "Didn't you say it was twins? Why did I only hear the cry of one child?"

Eunuch Xu immediately replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this servant just gave birth to a little princess when she came out, and this servant asked Xiao Shunzi to help keep an eye on her. If the other one is born, come out and report immediately."

The old emperor nodded, then sat back on the chair and waited.

When Empress Song heard that Concubine Yun Gui gave birth to a princess, she couldn't hide the smile on her face. She stood up and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, since the little princess has already been born, why don't you let the concubine go in and carry it out for the emperor to have a look at?" .”

The old emperor just waved his hands indifferently, "The child has just been born, so don't worry about it. After a while, Yun'er is all right, and I will go and see it myself."

Empress Song reluctantly agreed with a smile, cursing bitterly in her heart: This bitch, it's better to be like what the imperial doctor said, she died of dystocia and hemorrhage, so she also has one less confidant to worry about.

I don't know if Empress Song's curse had some effect. Concubine Yun Gui's second child was not born for a long time. Seeing that another hour passed, everyone including the old emperor felt bad. premonition.

Sure enough, not long after, Imperial Physician Chen and a Wen woman with blood on her hands came out in a hurry.

Doctor Chen was sweating more on his face at this time, and the official robe on his body was soaked with sweat, as if he had just come out of the water. He gasped heavily, knelt down in front of the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the official is incompetent!" , The imperial concubine is exhausted, and the second fetus has been unable to give birth, if the delay continues, the empress and the prince will be in danger."

The old emperor frowned, squinted at Imperial Physician Chen, and asked dangerously, "What do you mean by that?"

Doctor Chen buried his head even lower, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, we can only keep one of you and your child!"

"Bold! Imperial Physician Chen, how dare you say this in front of His Majesty, no matter whether it is an adult or a child, you must not make any mistakes!" Before the old emperor could speak, Empress Song had already sternly said something, but her heart was already She was overjoyed, as expected her bodhisattva did not worship in vain, that bitch was finally going to die.

The old emperor ignored what Empress Song said, just stared at the doctor Chen, and asked word by word: "Is the baby in the belly of the imperial concubine a boy or a girl?"

Chen Taiji hesitated for a moment before slowly replying: "According to the pulse of the imperial concubine, it should be a female fetus."

The old emperor closed his eyes, heaved a long sigh, and after a long silence, he finally said, "Then let's protect you."
