Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Chapter 176: Sinner’s Edict

Shi Bin, come and deliver the baby to the Queen. "Du Jiyan gave the order.

Shi Jing was stunned.

"Your Majesty, my concubine...can't."

Shi Jing blinked his aggrieved eyes.

Sisters, this is a delivery, and human lives are at stake. This is no joke.

Although she was favored by the Queen and did not want the Queen to be in any danger of harm, she had never done the job of delivering a baby. How could she deliver a baby if she had no knowledge at all?

Even if I accept this matter of driving a duck to Liangshan, I don’t know where to start.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to, I really don't know how to do it." Shi Jing whispered.

"I'll teach you, just cooperate with me like you do when cooking."

"But……"

"If you hesitate any longer, the queen's life will be in danger."

"I'll do it."

They are indeed good sisters.

Du Jiyan retreated outside the curtain, while Shi Jing stayed inside.

"Put your hands on the queen's belly. Spread your hands flat and circle to the left twice first."

Shi Jing did as he was told.

"One more turn to the left, one more turn to the right."

Shi Jing did as he was told.

"Push down twice, two at a time."

After pushing for a few times, Shi Jing suddenly shouted from inside the curtain: "The queen's belly is moving. The queen's stomach is moving badly."

"The Queen's stomach is not moving again."

The queen was so painful that she was sweating. Maybe it was because she had just taken the medicine from the mall. She had gained a little strength, but she was still bleeding. She felt like her stomach was churning, almost out of her control. She was giving birth to a baby for the first time. , inexperienced, scared in his heart, his body was empty, and his voice was weak: "Your Majesty——"

"I'm here."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't survive..."

"Don't say that." Du Jiyan thought to himself that nothing will happen to the Empress, and secretly prayed that the system mall could update more medical equipment. If the Empress was in danger, it would be better to buy some for rescue. Equipment for rescue, such as ventilators and so on.

"Your Majesty, if anything happens to me, please save the child first... My life is not worth anything, but the child... is your bloodline, Your Majesty."

"You and the child are both very important to me, and I don't allow you to say that."

"The emperor loves me because I am the daughter of the Wei family. Even if I die, the Wei family will still have Zhao Ning, but I will only have this one child..."

"I love you only because you are Wei Zhaonan, not because you are Wei's daughter. I can save you today. I want to save you. Even if I can't save you, I still want to save you. Zhaonan, I want you to live."

Shi Jing pressed the queen's belly and silently wiped her tears.

These dog sisters act so realistically.

If the Dog Emperor was so affectionate, she, Shi Jing, would be tempted.

As expected, women love women the most.

Du Jiyan knew the queen's heartache, and now he was trying to comfort her, which was beneficial to the queen.

The concubines also had red eyes.

The emperor is really affectionate.

So affectionate towards every concubine.

Even Zhao, who was ashes, agreed to play with Bao Guiren for a night of playing landlords with the emperor, and the emperor rewarded them with two carts full of goodies.

Shi Jing went to stay with her for the night and was directly promoted to the rank of concubine.

There is also Du Jiyan of Wanru Palace. The emperor even allowed her to open a restaurant in the palace and compete for the royal dining room business.

I used to say that the emperor didn't want to see the empress, but now it's obvious. The emperor cares about the empress. Originally, I came here to see the Queen give birth to a child, but before the Queen's child was born, she ate a mouthful of dog food. Witnessed the deep love between the emperor and the queen.

Under Du Jiyan's guidance, the queen gritted her teeth. Shi Jing also cheered for the queen: "The queen is auspicious and will be safe and sound."

"The Queen has given birth, given birth." It was Shi Jing's voice, and then Shi Jing became silent.

The midwife's rolling pin fell right on Shi Jing's head. With just that one blow, quickly and hard, Shi Jing stopped moving.

There was a commotion inside the curtain.

"Your Majesty, I am about to give birth. My stomach hurts so much -" it was Concubine Wei's voice.

"Concubine Wei has given birth. Concubine Wei has given birth. Congratulations to Your Majesty. The Queen and Concubine Wei have given birth." The midwife's voice was full of joy.

It became quiet again inside the curtain.

It seemed that the pain was over. The queen and the concubines were exhausted after having sex all night.

Then came the cry of a child.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has given birth to a prince, and Concubine Wei has given birth to a princess." The midwife wrapped the two children and carried them out.

Du Jiyan was worried about the queen's safety, so he walked to the bed again and felt a little sad when he saw the bloodless queen lying there quietly with tears in her eyes.

Being a woman is not easy.

Even if you are an emperor's woman, you have to bear some hardships yourself.

The queen's lips moved, but finally she said nothing.

Doctor Zhang took the queen's pulse and said that the queen's bleeding had stopped, but she was weak and needed to rest.

And poor Shi Jing lay motionless under the bed.

"Just now, my sister finally gave birth to a child after all the hard work. Shi Bin was very happy. She accidentally fell down and fainted after falling down."

Doctor Zhang took Shi Jing's pulse and looked at the injury on his head. He said that Shi Jing had hurt his head and needed to drink two doses of medicine to treat it.

The midwife picked up the baby, and the concubines rushed to see it first.

"When the Queen Mother gives birth to a prince, he is the Emperor's eldest son. He is also the eldest son and the legitimate son. The Queen Mother is so lucky. This son is very precious."

"Yes, this prince has handsome features and fair skin. He doesn't cry or make trouble. He looks like a good boy at first glance."

No crying or fussing.

Du Jiyan's heart lifted.

It seemed that the child was neither crying nor fussing, only the princess was crying loudly.

In such a noisy environment, the prince seemed to be asleep and motionless.

This is not the case for newborns.

Could it be suffocation?

its not right.

During the B-ultrasound, the B-ultrasound showed that the queen was pregnant with a daughter. Why did the midwife say that the queen gave birth to a prince, but it was Concubine Wei who gave birth to a daughter?

Seeing Du Jianyan's doubtful expression, the midwife came forward with the child in her arms and said, "Your Majesty, the number of children delivered by slaves is eighty if not one hundred. The gender of a child cannot be determined until the woman is born." Yes, in some families, even if you look for a half-immortal to see, the birth is different. The emperor used that thing to detect that the queen is pregnant with a daughter. Thinking about it, there are some discrepancies." "Yes, your emperor, that thing is across the belly, How can you see clearly?"

These two thugs.

Du Jiyan just wanted to confirm the child first. This so-called prince never opened his eyes from the beginning to the end.

Du Jiyan patted the soles of the child's feet, but the child still didn't respond. When he touched it again, he found that the child was cold and not warm at all.

Cool?

He is a newborn, how come he has such a temperature?

Shouldn't.

Du Jiyan put his hand under the baby's nose and probed, but there was no breathing. Then he put his hand on the artery in the baby's neck and tried it, but there was no response.

Du Jiyan asked Dr. Zhang to come forward and take the child's pulse.

Doctor Zhang gently felt the child's pulse, and his hands began to tremble.

The child has no pulse.

It's a stillbirth.

Instead, it was a newborn princess with a rosy complexion and warm and soft little hands. Even if she was wrapped in swaddling clothes, she could not stop. Her hands kept grabbing in the air, as if she had just come to this world and was still alive. Very uncomfortable.

But something was wrong with this baby boy.

The concubines understood and knelt down one after another.

The midwife spoke quickly: "Back to the emperor, the prince... the child delivered by the slave has never been in such a situation. It is probably because the child has been in the Queen's belly for too long, and the Queen has never been able to give birth to the child, so... …Children are just….”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Queen gave birth to a child after a whole night of labor. Moreover, Shi Bin pressed on the Queen's belly for a long time just now. Who knows if Shi Bin's technique was too heavy and crushed the Queen's child to death? ."

He is indeed a slave.

An allusion is given to the stillbirth that was the result of the queen’s incompetence.

An allusion is that Shi Jing pressed the child to death and blamed the child's death on Shi Jing.

If this child was the first prince of the Chen Kingdom, with great significance and great dignity, then his death would naturally require an explanation.

According to the midwife, whether the Queen takes the blame or Shi Jing takes the blame, it will probably be difficult to turn around in the future.

The strange thing is that these two midwives have been living in Jingren Palace since they entered the palace and cannot move around freely, but they can easily recognize Shi Jing and know that she is Shi Bin, which is unusual.

After listening to the midwife's words, the queen behind the curtain tried to get up but was pushed back by Gui Yuan: "Queen, you are weak and must not be excited."

"Your Majesty, that child..." The Queen's voice was filled with helplessness and sadness: "That child is none of Concubine Shi's business. It was a stillbirth born to me... It was my fault... It was my concubine's fault... It took too long. .”

The queen's weakness is that she is too kind.

Being too kind will allow others to take advantage of you.

Wei Concubine took the queen's hand and comforted her: "Sister, don't be too sad. Since ancient times, a woman has entered the gate of hell when she gave birth to a child. We are lucky to have saved our lives. Even if my sister gave birth to a stillborn child, the emperor will not It’s my fault, the princess I gave birth to will be like my sister’s daughter from now on.”

The queen leaned blankly on the soft pillow, which was soaked with her sweat, tears and blood from her body.

She let Wei Bin hold her hand tightly and felt the warmth between Wei Bin's fingers. However, her hand was so cold, and her heart was so cold, as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she could not bear the coldness. I couldn't stop shivering.

It seemed that everyone around her no longer existed, as if she had no soul, and the queen suddenly fell silent.

The Queen Mother could not sleep well all night. When the little eunuch who reported the news said that the master of Jingren Palace had given birth to a prince and a princess, the Queen Mother was so excited that she burst into tears. She immediately took out the Guanyin statue and wiped it again and again, saying that it was the blessing of her ancestors. The descendants of the Chen family will surely live on for generations to come.

Seeing the little eunuch's mouth moving and hesitating to speak, the queen mother felt that something was wrong. After careful questioning, she learned that the daughter born by Wei concubine was safe and sound, but the prince born by the queen was stillborn and died before he could see the world. The Queen Mother dropped her hand and the Guanyin statue fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.

If this long and legitimate prince can survive, he will definitely be established as a prince in the future, and the Wei family and the Min family will be able to coexist for a long time. When this child grows up, the Wei family will choose another one. If a woman is sent to the palace as a queen, the glory of the Wei family will be attached to the Min family for a long time.

There is no better shortcut than this.

There is no glory more stable than this.

It just so happened that this child was stillborn.

"Is it really a stillbirth? Didn't there be any movement after birth?"

The Queen Mother did not give up.

"Back to the Queen Mother, there was no movement when she was born, and the imperial doctor also checked her pulse..."

"This child is not blessed." The Queen Mother held back her tears. After thinking about it, she couldn't figure out why the Queen gave birth to a stillborn child. As a Queen Mother, she was a bit partial and treated the concubine Wei better than the Queen. Although she often Knocking on the queen, but since the queen was pregnant, she has given many suggestions, or sent delicious food or drinks. The queen's stay in Jingren Palace was considered smooth, so why did she give birth to a stillborn baby?

"Fortunately, Concubine Wei gave birth to a princess, who is also the emperor's first daughter."

The Queen Mother sat silently.

The agarwood in the incense burner has burned out, and the Queen Mother seems to have more gray hair than before. Under the shadow of the lamp, she seems a little powerless, and her words are muffled: "After all, the Queen is useless. What does the Emperor plan to do with that child? When? Buried? What posthumous name should I be given?"

"My servant just asked the eunuch who reported the child and said that the emperor took the child back to the Palace of Supreme Harmony and did not plan to bury it. Therefore, there is no posthumous title."

"Don't you plan to bury him?" The Queen Mother sighed: "This is the emperor's first son. The emperor must be very sad, so he doesn't want to bury him, right? He wants to hold him over and take a closer look, but after all... he cannot be kept. "

"But if the queen gave birth to a stillborn child, it is still the emperor's fault." Aunt Guan muttered.

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it was God's punishment on the emperor that caused the queen to give birth to a stillborn child. The mistakes the emperor made since he ascended the throne should not be blamed on the child. Speaking of which, the queen is not to blame for this."

It is a grave sin for Aunt Guan to talk about the Emperor behind his back.

Perhaps the Queen Mother was also confused by the dead child and asked Aunt Guan to call the Emperor.

When Du Jiyan rushed to Cining Palace, he saw that the Queen Mother's eyes were swollen like walnuts. He knew that she was sad for the child and advised her to refrain from mourning.

Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother's first words were: "You should be punished for your next crime."

The crime has been punished.

This Du is just familiar.

Throughout the dynasties, whether it was the Yellow River flooding, the Yangtze River bursting its banks, or encountering fireballs falling from the sky, thunder in the winter or snow falling in the summer, if there was anything unusual, the emperor would issue an edict, which means that it is auspicious if the sky does not rain down. And there are so many disasters that are all my fault. If God wants to punish me, then just punish me.

It roughly means writing a letter of repentance.

Du Jiyan wrote the book of repentance several times when he was in school.

It sounds quite skillful.

But this time, she didn't intend to write.

If she really wanted to write, there were countless templates in the system. She only had to copy one article without having to use her brain.

But now it was obvious that there was an inside story about Jingren Palace's childbirth, and she had no choice but to uncover the matter without checking the inside story. Besides, was the dead child really the emperor's child? We can't let the emperor be happy to be a father.

"Why, you can't write? Your Majesty, you must learn how to write this edict." The Queen Mother frowned.

"It's not that I can't write, it's that I don't want to write."

"Why don't you want to write?"

"I want to find out the truth."

"What truth?"

"The truth behind the child's death."

"Is the Emperor going to change his career to become a doctor?"
