Resourceful beauty

Chapter 241 Ominous
"She just wants to step on your skirt, take advantage of the timing of her fall to pull you down, and then plant her premature birth on you, that's all?"

When hearing it from Fang Ruxuan, Chu Yuan felt a little unbelievable.

That night in the Wanfu Palace, when King Yong asked Concubine Fang about her plan, her mysterious appearance seemed to have drawn up such a meticulous plan, which made Chu Yuan worry for a long time. When discussing matters with King Yao, he was quite absent-minded, for fear that a servant would come in after a while and say that the princess is not well.

The servant did come, and he said that it would be bad for Concubine Fang.

For a while, Chu Yuan became worried again, whether Fang Ruxuan really fell for Concubine Fang's tricks and was tricked by her, but he hurried back to Xuanyi Hall, saw Fang Ruxuan's good manners, and heard her say that she had come from Fengxian Hall Chu Yuan only felt that the whole process of coming out was like a fight between children, and it was so childish that it made people laugh.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head with a smile, "Go and pull me, and then I fell down by myself in the air when I shook my hand. I'm afraid it was the concubine Fang's sudden intention. Concubine Han Shu said that when we were talking, someone was hidden in the nursery, and I was standing in Fang Concubine Fang's left side, therefore, Concubine Fang's original plan should be to let the person in the nursery grab my skirt while I was lifting my foot, causing me to fall, and implicating her who was a step ahead of me."

Concubine Han Shu's appearance was originally planned by Chu Yuan and Fang Ruxuan. After all, they had been ventilated beforehand, so it was expected that the person in the nursery would be restrained and unable to do anything.

Chu Yuan smiled and said: "Stealing chickens is not enough to lose rice. This time, Concubine Fang is asking for trouble."

At the same time, Lanyue Pavilion was brightly lit.

In the side hall that had already been set up as a delivery room, Concubine Fang lay pale on the delivery bed, moaning and crying from time to time, which made her heart tremble, and the two nuns standing beside the bed made her heart tremble even more. No bottom.

In the main hall, Concubine Han Shu had already told the whole story to King Yao and Queen Zhou who came after them.

Concealing the subtle details of people trying to commit misdeeds in the nursery, Concubine Han Shu only said that Concubine Fang invited the Crown Princess to take a walk together, and she followed her from a distance from the beginning to the end. Fang Ruxuan was almost implicated by tripping at the corner, but did not mention anything else.

After all, the more people talk about it, the more unfavorable it will be for Donggong. Concubine Han Shu chose the simplest and most convincing statement.

"Your Majesty, Madam Queen, Concubine Fang is probably going to give birth prematurely..."

In the main hall, while King Yao and the others were talking, the midwife nurse ran over to spread the message with a panicked expression.

"Is there any danger?"

King Yao asked anxiously.

"The fetus has been in the mother's womb for nine months. Now that it is born, it will be a disadvantage to the adult, but the child is probably fine."

The midwife lowered her head and replied.

Reassuring, King Yao looked back at Queen Zhou, and Queen Zhou ordered: "In that case, you should get ready as soon as possible, so that Concubine Fang will suffer less."

After all, Queen Zhou glanced over Concubine Han Shu, "Why is it so unfortunate?"

On the other hand, he breathed softly, "Fortunately, on the other side of the House of Internal Affairs, the midwives were all prepared early in the morning and arranged to come to Lanyue Pavilion. Otherwise, today would be in danger."

She wanted to say that the Crown Princess had something wrong in her heart, but Concubine Han Shu herself said that she followed her from a distance from the beginning to the end, and that she tripped her when she saw Concubine Fang with her own eyes.

Besides, no matter Concubine Han Shu or Crown Princess, her status is much higher than that of Concubine Fang, and she would not be able to frame Concubine Fang and pour sewage on her body. No one would believe such suspicions.

After going back and forth in her heart several times, Queen Zhou decided that she should hold it down and not mention it. This matter should be discussed in the long run.

The main hall was quiet, but the side hall was bustling with activity.

The palace maids were coming in and out, preparing hot water, cloth strips and blankets, and the two midwives were standing by the bed, one on the left and one on the right, picking up the sheets at the end of the bed from time to time to have a look. The pain came in bursts, so that she didn't even have the strength to shout.

Even so, Concubine Fang still kept her spirits up and stared intently at the movements of the two midwives.

After a while, she lifted the quilt to take a look again, and the midwife took a look at the other person, then turned around and drove out all the maids who were waiting at the side, "You all go and wait outside the door, I will tell you if I have something to do."

The palace people privately said that the delivery room is a dark place, so, except for the maidservant who served the master personally, the other maidservants who were temporarily called to help hurriedly retreated, but Liu Shang was also chased away by the midwife. After going out, the feeling of panic in Concubine Fang's heart reappeared.

Wanting to make a sound to hold on to the glass, when Concubine Fang opened her mouth, there were fragmented cries of pain. With both hands, she could only hold the bed board tightly to support herself.

Pain came from below, but the two midwives had no intention of delivering the baby. Concubine Fang became more and more uncertain.

Waiting until there was a slight sound from the rear window, one of the nuns exhaled, turned her head to the window, and came in again with a look of joy on her face.

"Master, the cervix has already been opened. If you exert strength according to the old slave's wishes, the mother and child will be safe. Don't worry."

The midwife said with a smile on her face, while lifting the quilt.

Pressing Fang Concubine's stomach with one hand, while making Fang Concubine inhale and exhale vigorously, the midwife nurse's gentle words made Fang Concubine feel a little relieved.

I don't know how long it took, but I just felt that I was about to pass out. Concubine Fang felt light from her body, as if something was pouring out, and the pain on her body was relieved a lot.

At the same moment, the baby's cry of "Wah-wah" came from my ear.

"Hurry up and bring the child and let me see..."

Seeing the midwife wipe the baby clean with a warm veil and then wrap it in swaddling clothes, Concubine Fang gasped and called out, it seemed just for a moment, and the tenderness of mother's love suddenly arose in her heart.

"You take a short rest, clean up, and let the master see naturally."

The midwife said perfunctorily, but picked up the swaddling baby and turned around to leave the cubicle.

"What are you doing, take my child back, take me back..."

Knowing that King Yao, Queen Zhou and others were sitting in the main hall, and there were maidservants waiting outside the door, Concubine Fang didn't dare to speak out, and just called in a low voice, but the midwife did not stop at all.

She came in again in a blink of an eye, the midwife was still holding a swaddle in her arms, but Concubine Fang could see clearly that the one she carried out just now was a sapphire blue swaddle, but now the one she handed over to her was a bright yellow swaddle.

The door has been opened, and one of the midwives has happily gone to the main hall to announce the good news.

The baby in swaddling was wrinkled and a little thin. Although it was still crying softly, the crying sound was not as loud and powerful as when it was just born. Fangpin knew that her child must have been swapped.

"Where's my child?"

Asking in a low voice, Concubine Fang stared fiercely at the midwife, clutching the mattress tightly in her hands, wishing that King Yong would stand in front of her and let her spit on him fiercely.

However, the child has been dropped, and at this moment, if she shows her feet, it will be her own size that will be harmed in the end. Concubine Fang grits her teeth with hatred in her heart, but she can't have any attacks, she just wished she could just faint.

"Ms. Concubine Fang is confused? The little prince is right in front of you, just take a look..."

An old face was full of joy, and the midwife whispered back, as if she had seen the money rewarded by King Yong.

Over there, the midwife who was going to announce the good news has come back to spread the word that the king wants to see the newborn fourteenth prince. The midwife standing by the bed glanced at Concubine Fang, turned and left.

"Master, are you okay?"

Liu Shang who rushed in from outside the door saw that Concubine Fang's eyes were dull and lifeless at the moment, and her face was a little paler than before she was about to give birth, so she couldn't help but feel worried.

Concubine Fang bit her lips tightly, feeling a chill all over her body, which made her feel unspeakable.

Shaking her head, Concubine Fang closed her eyes, and after a while, she let out a slight breathing sound, as if she had passed out.

When she woke up again, it was already dawn on the second day. Concubine Fang looked around and found that she was already in the inner hall of Lanyue Pavilion.

"Liu Shang..."

With a soft call, Liuzhang entered in response, and Concubine Fang forced herself to sit up, and Concubine Liu rushed over to put a soft pillow behind Concubine Fang.

"Master, the little prince just drank milk and fell asleep again, would you like to take a look?"

Liu Shang asked happily.

Concubine Fang shook her head, "Let the wet nurse take care of him."

Knowing in his heart that there must be a reason, but he didn't dare to ask at this moment, Liu Shang asked with concern: "Master hasn't eaten much since last night, servant girl, please order someone to set up a meal, you should eat a little at least."

Saying so, he was about to get up and order the maidservant to bring in water for Concubine Fang to freshen up.

Concubine Fang stopped Liushang, "Did your majesty give the child a name?"

Liu Shang paused, hesitated for a while, then turned around, and said with a smile: "Master, you are too impatient. It has always been a matter of giving names to princes within three days of birth, and today is only the first day." Well, the king is busy with government affairs, Xu hasn't thought about it yet, just wait patiently."

Concubine Fang sensitively saw something wrong on Liu Shang's face, "Yesterday, when did the King leave?"

But everyone in Lanyue Pavilion saw it for real. Liushang just wanted to deceive, and he would deceive anyone if he called anyone.

The voice of Liushang gradually faded, "I left at the second quarter of Haishi, and the queen and concubine Shu sat for another quarter of an hour before leaving."

I am a child born at the beginning of Haishi, so King Yao left after sitting for a quarter of an hour?
She became more and more suspicious in her heart, and when she looked at Liushang again, she felt that she was deliberately hiding something. Concubine Fang lost her face immediately, "What happened? Tell me..."

Liu Shang knelt down on the ground aggrieved, with tears streaming down his face, "The little prince was born on a bad day, and his ranking happened to be fourteenth. The queen said that she was afraid that the child would be too hostile, so the king would give a name, and the queen Let’s just say, it’s better to wait until 49 [-] days later, just in case, in case…”

What if the child's hostility is so strong that he can't survive for a long time?
Concubine Fang immediately thought of the half-sentence that Liushang hadn't said, and thinking that everyone in the palace must feel that their child is an ominous body, Concubine Fang's eyes darkened and she fainted.
