Harem Seizure

Chapter 76

When the Empress Dowager Chu saw the appearance of Imperial Concubine Yue, she immediately thought that she might have eaten something bad.Immediately ordered the eunuch to bring the sedan chair, and then helped the imperial concubine Yue to sit on the sedan chair and ran all the way to Luanyang Palace.As a queen, Empress Yao just wanted to go, and immediately ordered her servants to bring the phoenix chariot to Luanyang Palace.

The concubines glanced at each other, and those who had enough grades also followed.Those who were not of high grade were brought back to their bedroom by their respective servants.

Of course, among the people who went to visit, Shao Yunyan was indispensable, not to mention that the Queen Mother didn't ask them to disperse separately.Even because Emperor Yue was ill, they couldn't leave. If someone put eye drops on Li Huang's place, the loss outweighed the gain.

After sending Imperial Concubine Yue into Luanyang Palace, an imperial physician immediately stepped forward to diagnose and treat Concubine Yue, and the result was that Imperial Concubine Yue ate something she shouldn't have eaten.But the month is already deep, and there will be no tire slippage, but the dragon will come out early.However, since Imperial Concubine Yue has taken the medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which has already promoted blood flow, there may be dystocia and postpartum hemorrhage, which is also a hard hurdle to overcome.

The Empress Dowager Chu's eyes flickered when she heard what should not be eaten, what exactly is this should not be eaten.All kinds of dishes have been seen by herself, so there should be no problems, Queen Mother Chu thought quietly.Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Did Imperial Concubine Yue eat something that shouldn't be eaten?"

"If you go back to the empress dowager, it should be... something that drains the blood." The imperial physician spoke out her judgment after considering it.The pulse condition of Emperor Yue's noble concubine was smooth, and her qi and blood were surging.

The queen mother narrowed her eyes and immediately ordered sharply: "Come here, bring all the imperial food that you brought, and hand it over to the imperial physician for examination."

Soon some servants brought up all the meals from the banquet just now, including the pastry that was served last.The imperial doctor stepped forward to examine them one by one, and when he inspected the plate of pastries, his face changed drastically.Suddenly, my whole body felt cold, this is... this is clearly a peach blossom...

The Empress Dowager Chu looked at the imperial physician's appearance, and suddenly frowned and said, "What's the matter with the imperial physician? What's wrong with this cake?"

"Your Majesty...in this cake, there are... peach blossoms..." Doctor Wang closed his eyes and said boldly.We all know that peach blossom can beautify the skin, and many concubines use it to maintain the color of qi and blood. This is a problem, what should be done?

Empress Dowager Chu suddenly frowned when she heard this, she smiled and looked at Imperial Physician Wang with a frown and said, "Is what you said true?"

"But there is no doubt..." Imperial Physician Wang lowered his head, took a breath and said boldly.

Empress Dowager Chu's complexion suddenly sank, and her complexion became unusually gloomy.At this time, Imperial Concubine Yue had already screamed miserably, and the midwife had already entered the delivery room.Hearing the miserable cry of Imperial Concubine Yue, her expression became more and more gloomy.Frowning in a low voice, he asked: "This imperial concubine's body is more than seven or seven months old, can this child survive?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. It's a common saying in the folks that seven-month-old children can still live in good health." The imperial doctor thought about his words, rolled his eyes and continued: "And your mother's pregnancy is too big. , and can't give birth at full term. It's just... I'm afraid it will be dystocia."

The Empress Dowager Chu narrowed her eyes, and said gloomyly: "The Ai family told you, the prince and the imperial concubine will be saved... If there is a problem with one of them, you should apologize."

Doctor Wang broke out in a cold sweat after hearing what the Empress Dowager Chu said.He could only tremble all over and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Shao Yunyan listened to the miserable voice of the Royal Concubine Yue, and felt chills in her heart.There was a problem with that pastry, so I didn't eat too much.If something went wrong with Empress Yao and Imperial Concubine Yue, then I would not be able to explain it clearly.The three pregnant women were the only ones at the banquet... No, Shao Yunyan suddenly thought of something, looked at Empress Yao who was sitting upright, her face changed suddenly.Empress Yao also ate that pastry... But why is she fine?Could it be that... Shao Yunyan narrowed her eyes slightly and sneered completely.Unexpectedly, you would have such a move, Empress Yao...

After hearing what happened next, Li Huang immediately broke up the banquet, and ordered his servants to send the envoys back to the station.So he quickly rushed to Luanyang Palace on a dragon chariot.As soon as he entered the door, he frowned when he saw the concubines, and a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face.After walking in front of the Empress Dowager and holding her fists slightly, she hurriedly asked: "Empress Dowager, what happened? Why did Yue Er suddenly give birth prematurely? What happened?"

"Emperor... This was a good banquet, but someone didn't want it to continue. Someone put peach blossoms in the meal." The Empress Dowager Chu glanced at Li Huang, and her face became displeased .Why is it that Emperor Li seems to be provoking a teacher to ask a crime?She didn't do anything!

Seeing Empress Dowager Chu's displeased expression, Li Huang also frowned, turned to look at Empress Dowager and asked angrily, "What's going on? Why did Yue'er eat something that shouldn't be eaten? Did you check carefully? Or did someone take the opportunity to poison it?"

"Don't be angry, the emperor. That thing was put in the pastry, how could anyone notice this? Basically everyone eats this flower cake, so how could they know that something like this happened?" The Empress Dowager Chu said with a frown.

Li Huang suddenly opened his eyes, and couldn't help but gasped.dessert?Li Huang suddenly thought of something, glanced at Imperial Physician Wang and immediately ordered: "Go and check the pulse of Concubine Xian, she likes snacks the most, if she eats too much, don't know if she gets hurt."

Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Li Huang, nodded immediately, walked to Shao Yunyan's side, and took Shao Yunyan's pulse.Shao Yunyan didn't understand what Li Huang meant, whether she really cared about her or doubted her, she didn't know at all now.

After examining the pulse, Imperial Physician Wang turned to Li Huang and said, "My lady's pulse is also bleeding faster, and I think she also ate the cake with peach blossoms. It's just that my lady didn't eat much, so she didn't respond to abdominal pain."

"Then is there something wrong with her body?" Li Huang frowned, looking at Shao Yunyan with complicated eyes.

"It's not a serious problem. It's just that the moon is still young, so you should pay attention to your diet." Doctor Wang took a few breaths, looking at Li Huang with trembling eyes.Fortunately, the pulse of Concubine Xian is fine, if something happens, then his life is really unsafe.

Li Huang nodded, laughed, looked at Shao Yunyan's worried face, frowned and said: "Come here, send the Xianfei Empress back in a sedan chair. She is still pregnant with a child, so it is inevitable to collide with her." gone."

The Empress Dowager Chu remembered at this moment that this pregnant woman cannot see blood.Immediately, he made a decree to send Empress Yao and Concubine Xian back to their respective palaces, and boiled some soothing soup for them to drink, so as not to shock the imperial concubine Yue during childbirth.

After returning to Yuxiu Palace, Shao Yunyan pushed away all the servants, just sitting beside the bed quietly thinking about Yue'er's eyes today.If she guessed correctly, then what happened to Yue'er before must have something to do with that person.Unexpectedly, really unexpected, this incident was actually born by Concubine Qi.Concubine Qi relied on Empress Yao in her previous life, and after Empress Yao died, she relied on Empress Yue. No matter what she did, she never acted alone.That Yue'er's eyes clearly showed resentment, she resented Concubine Qi.

Could it be that Yue'er knew something?Shao Yunyan's eyes widened suddenly.If Yue'er really knew something, then this conspiracy... Shao Yunyan's eyes flickered, and she couldn't help clenching her fists tightly.Yue'er, she... She is only a five-year-old child.Why do you plan on her like this... Your scheming is really vicious, Shao Yunyan has to admire it.Concubine Qi, it doesn't matter whether you are acting according to the order or planning alone... I, Shao Yunyan, will definitely let you taste the bitter fruit.

Concubine Qi...Yang Laifeng.

Shao Yunyan calmed down and suddenly realized that her back was covered with cold sweat, which wet her clothes.After calling someone to come in and change her clothes, she fell down on the bed exhaustedly, staring at the bed curtain with a faint sadness in her eyes.He closed his eyes lightly, and when he opened them again, the sadness in them was no longer there.His eyes were clear, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile.

In fact, she didn't want to make a move so early... You forced her...

As for Sister Yue, I'm afraid you will have a hard time tonight... If you have an emergency, how would your emperor make a choice?
At this time, Empress Yao, who was sent back to Fengyang Palace, also had a frosty face.

It was really dangerous just now!Empress Yao sat down and drank a cup of tea. After calming down, she thought quietly.

She never knew that there were peach blossoms in that beautiful rose-red pastry that pregnant women should never eat.This peach blossom is generally used or eaten by women, and it is the best for making rouge or fillings for pastries.But who would have thought that this peach blossom is as powerful as a safflower?
Seeing her mother's sad look, Fei Cui quickly pushed all the servants away, and knelt down at Empress Yao's feet, kneading Empress Yao's legs little by little.Boldly asked tentatively: "Your Majesty? Are you worried about the follow-up issue of that pastry?"

Empress Yao glanced at Fei Cui and nodded silently, she stroked her lower abdomen with her slender hands, the softness of the tentacles made Empress Yao very heartbroken.Looking outside lightly, he said faintly: "Indeed..."

"Your Majesty, why worry, you just need to take some blood-invigorating medicine to make your blood boil. Besides, the emperor is busy now, so he probably wouldn't think of your Majesty here. Even if there is an imperial doctor coming to check your pulse, who would dare to label you?" Fei Cui Gently helping Empress Yao up, the master and servant walked slowly into the huge dormitory, and took off the cumbersome phoenix robe for Empress Yao little by little.After the phoenix robe was taken off, what was exposed was a round belly.

Empress Yao looked at her stomach and sighed softly.He stretched out his hand to untie the belt of the coat, and a big silk pillow was tied around his waist and abdomen.After untiing it, he casually remained on the bed, sat on the bed and sighed softly.

Fei Cui glanced at the silk pillow that Queen Yao randomly threw on the bedside, and couldn't help but look at Queen Yao with a slightly reproachful expression.Immediately walked a few quick steps, put away the cotton pillow, and put it in the closet.Only then quietly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to Empress Yao, and sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you are too careless. This can be clearly shown. Although I have pushed the servants, it is hard to protect our palace There are no other nails in it. Let's all be careful."

"Hmph, what's the use of this? The emperor won't care. What's the use of me suffering from this?" Empress Yao suddenly said sadly, her eyes gradually became dull.

Seeing Empress Yao like this, Fei Cui felt distressed suddenly, and became more courageous. She gently held Empress Yao's hand and said, "Mother, don't be decadent, don't be disappointed. You are the empress, and the child you gave birth to is the empress." The first son. We follow the rules of the Li Dynasty, and the first son is not the first son. As long as you give birth to the first son, you will be able to preserve your position."

Empress Yao looked at the eyes of the emerald appraiser, and nodded, and suddenly thought of something, her face became a little hideous. "After the emperor asked the imperial concubine if she was okay, she was the first thing that came to mind...Why? She has only been in the palace for more than half a year."

"Your Majesty, you mean... Concubine Xian?" Fei Cui rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.

"It's definitely her."

After listening to Empress Yao's words, Fei Cui suddenly laughed lightly, blinked at Empress Yao and said, "Ma'am, who was pregnant when she was pregnant, she was injured. The punishment of kneeling a few days ago must have hurt her foundation. This woman gave birth to a child with a layer of veil separated from Lord Yan, if the empress thinks...isn't it just a matter of a word?" Fei Cui's tone was sinister, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes.

Empress Yao nodded after listening to Fei Cui's words, the panic and out of focus in her eyes had already faded away.Putting on the gentleness of the past, she smiled again and said: "Jade... This concubine gave birth to a child, and I am pregnant, so I am not allowed to visit. You can help me to have a look."

Fei Cui nodded, lowered her head and quickly disappeared outside Fengyang Palace.

At this moment in Luanyang Palace, there was a sense of tension up and down.Li Huang heard the constant groans and screams from the Royal Concubine Yue in the room, and his heart twitched all the time.It's not that Yue'er has never given birth to a child, she has given birth for the third time, why is she so miserable this time.Li Huang knew that it was because she was frightened a few days ago and nearly gave birth prematurely, and now she was stimulated by the peach blossoms that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and premature delivery was inevitable.But listening to her screams from time to time, Li Huang was still heartbroken.

The Empress Dowager Chu was not worried, but she couldn't let Emperor Li stay in Luanyang Palace by herself, so she stayed with her for a while, holding the Buddha bead bracelet in her hand non-stop.He was also chanting Buddhist words over and over again, not asking for the safety of the imperial concubine, but just asking for her peace of mind.

Concubine Yue's experience in the delivery room was not pleasant, she felt that she was in excruciating pain.And her body was getting cold gradually. She didn't know that this kind of thing would happen after she ate those pastries.Originally, she still wanted to take this opportunity to cause Li Huang's heartache and regret, but now she has nothing else to think about, she just wants to give birth to her child, Li Huang's third prince.

It's just that things are not as simple as the imperial concubine thought.She just felt that her body was gradually losing strength, but the throbbing pain in her stomach had to make her scream.

The midwife who delivered the concubine Yuehuang glanced at each other, and quickly sent a midwife to report.In other words, it was time for Emperor Li to make a decision.

Li Huang was startled when he saw the blood coming out of the basins.This is equivalent to losing the life of his beloved woman...

The midwife walked to Li Huang's side with a face full of pain, and kowtowed lightly to Li Huang.With a trembling body, she said, "Your Majesty... the imperial concubine, she... she had a difficult labor... yes, Madam Bao... or Baolongzi." After the midwife finished speaking, she lowered her head with a face of death.At this moment, the midwife knew that there was no way for her to leave the palace, and she might not be able to pass tonight...

Li Huang's eyes widened suddenly, is it time to make a decision...
