Sure enough, not long after dinner, the emperor was heard saying to Eunuch Shun: "Xiao Shunzi, I am not leaving tonight, I will stay with the queen."
The empress sitting next to her is indeed a biological sister to the concubine Yuan Gui just now. Their eyebrows are somewhat similar. From the facial features alone, the two sisters should be very similar. However, if you compare them carefully, you will find that the difference between the two is
Where is it? Concubine Yuan Gui's appearance is charming and enchanting, like a fairy, but this empress is exactly like the beauty written in the painting book that does not eat the fireworks of the world, and is like a fairy.
And the queen is very considerate and gentle as water. How could the emperor not love such a queen?
The Empress said helplessly: "Your Majesty, my concubine is very heavy and may have to wake up at night, so you will suffer the consequences. We have to go to court early tomorrow, so you should rest early."
"Jin'er, I still don't know what you are thinking." The emperor looked at the queen dotingly and said.
The queen was about to say something, when a palace maid anxiously said something to Eunuch Shun at the door. So, the queen asked: "Eunuch Shun, what can I do?"
"Back to the empress, it's Huan'er, the eldest maid of Xianfu Palace. She said that Concubine Yuan Gui was not feeling well, so..." Halfway through, Eunuch Shun looked at the emperor.
"Oh? Tell her, if Concubine Yuan Gui feels uncomfortable, she should go to the imperial doctor. What are you doing here?" the emperor said somewhat unhappily.
"Your Majesty, my sister is not feeling well. Please go and have a look. Zuo Jin'er's body is also heavy. I beg you. I am just such a sister," the queen begged.
Doesn't the Queen know that her kind act cost her life?
The emperor looked a little distressed when he saw the queen, and did not want her to work too hard, so he said distressedly: "You, you, then I will go over and have a look. However, I will be back in a while. You are not allowed to refuse. I can go and see her."
For your sake."
"Yes." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she smiled. Of course, the Queen Mother must not know that tonight is the last time she sees the Emperor.
The emperor was finally invited to Xianfu Palace. However, it was easy to enter Xianfu Palace, but difficult to get out.
The emperor didn't know that a conspiracy was waiting for him, so he hurriedly asked Xiao Shunzi to lead the way to Xianfu Palace.
When the emperor went to Xianfu Palace, he found that the palace was very quiet, so he walked in. At this time, Huan'er did not go in. After seeing the emperor entering, he closed the door.
The emperor saw that Concubine Yuan Gui was not in the main hall. Could it be that she was really sick? The emperor was a little disgusted with Concubine Yuan Gui, firstly because of the pressure from Prime Minister Zuo, and secondly because of Concubine Yuan Gui's little tricks. I don't know if she was pretending to be sick again this time.
When he went in and saw that Concubine Yuan Gui was really lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, her appearance was no longer as charming as before, and she looked pitiful. The emperor's heart softened a little, and he asked: "Are you really sick?
"
Concubine Yuan Gui heard the emperor's voice, opened her eyes, tears welled up, and then said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, how dare I lie to you, I miss you so much." That voice was like a heartache.
It looked like it was scratched.
The emperor was a little panicked. Concubine Yuan Gui tonight seemed not so enchanting, more like a sick beauty. The more she looked, the more she looked like a queen. The emperor shook his head, but the more he looked, the more she looked like her. Then he felt some heat on his body, and he suddenly felt a rush.
Arrived at the bed
above...
Concubine Yuan Gui looked at the candle with evil intentions, a hint of cunning flashed past her.
And the Queen Empress activated it just a quarter of an hour after the Emperor walked out of Fengluan Palace. Fortunately, the midwives in the palace were all ready, so when the Queen Empress suddenly activated it tonight, no one was in a hurry.
However, for some reason, there suddenly started to be a thunderstorm at night. There were bursts of thunder and lightning, which made people feel very scared.
Originally, Yu'er, the eldest maid in the Queen's Palace, wanted to inform the Emperor, but the Queen Mother did not agree. She also told the Emperor not to tell the Emperor that Concubine Yuan Gui was sick. The Emperor finally went over and was not to be disturbed. Later, the nun who delivered the baby told him
The eldest palace maid Yu'er, the empress may have a difficult delivery. The eldest palace maid Yu'er was so frightened that she ignored the queen's instructions and ran to the door of Xianfu Palace in the heavy rain without an umbrella. She saw Huan'er guarding the door. She was anxious.
He asked: "Huan'er, is the Emperor inside? The Queen is about to give birth. Hurry, inform the Emperor quickly."
Unexpectedly, Huan'er rolled his eyes and said calmly: "Didn't you see that all the candles inside were extinguished? My mother-in-law is resting with the emperor now. You call the emperor out at this time? You don't want to die.
Now, do I still want to live?"
Yu'er is the eldest maid who serves the queen. She usually sees how much the emperor loves the queen, but now she is a little confused. The queen is about to give birth, and the emperor actually has other thoughts... No, the imperial concubine is not
Are they all sick? How is that possible? So, when she saw that Huan'er didn't go in to report, she had no choice but to shout outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Empress is about to give birth."
How could Concubine Yuan Gui on the bed not hear it, so she shouted: "Who is making noise outside and disturbing His Majesty? Is it a sin?"
"Your Majesty, my wife is having a difficult delivery. Please inform Your Majesty so that he can pass."
"My sister is having a difficult labor? I will let Your Majesty come over right now." So she smiled evilly, then pushed the Emperor on her body and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen is having a difficult labor, and His Majesty is being called outside to come over."
I don’t know what kind of medicine Concubine Yuan Gui gave to the emperor. The emperor roared: "Who bothered me? Get out of here!"
I only heard the charming voice of Concubine Yuan Gui coming from inside: "Ah, Your Majesty, please be gentle..." Another voice of laughter came from inside, and the angry Yu'er waved her hands and left Xianfu Palace.
As Yu'er walked, she felt something was wrong. In the past, when the emperor heard a little bit about the Queen, he couldn't wait to put down what he was doing and go to Fengluan Palace. How could it be so abnormal tonight?
The queen here had actually heard that she was pregnant with twins, but she didn't let the imperial doctor tell the emperor because she wanted to give the emperor a surprise. Only the eldest palace maid Yu beside her could do this.
Er knew. Therefore, she prepared a pair of jade pendants that the emperor had given her. The pattern of these pair of jade pendants was very unique, and together they formed a picture. There were also two swaddling clothes prepared, and Yu'er
The jade pendants were also placed into the baby's body one by one, which surprised the nun who delivered the baby, but she didn't say anything.
The midwife successfully delivered the first child. When she saw that it was a female baby, she didn't say anything. She just sent it aside, cleaned it, and put it in a swaddling bag. Then the nurse held it.
And the midwife
Grandma discovered that there was another child in the queen's belly, and she didn't have time to say anything. The child crawled out on its own, so she took the time to deliver the baby.
The empress gave birth to the baby quickly. After delivering the baby, the nanny found out that it was a boy, and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to the empress on the birth of the little prince." So, she was washed and handed over to another wet nurse to hold.
At this time, the nanny shouted loudly: "It's not good, the queen gave birth to the little prince in difficult labor and suffered from bleeding. Come on, please take the little prince out first."
The Queen Mother looked at her mother-in-law talking anxiously, and was a little puzzled. Although she was a little weak after giving birth to two children, she didn't feel any discomfort. Why did she suffer from hemorrhage?
As soon as the wet nurse walked out with the child in her arms, a man in black flashed past and snatched the child away. The action was very fast, and before the people under the eaves could react, they were killed by five or six men in black. This
Several people quickly collected the corpses, but the nanny who was holding the little prince saw all this through the crack in the door, and was so frightened that she hugged the little prince and did not go out.
When grandma saw that she hadn't gone out yet, she said angrily: "Why don't you go out yet?"
The wet nurse said smoothly: "It's raining outside. Your Highness will not be able to bear it."
"Humph." The nanny ignored the wet nurse and just stabbed the queen's lower body with a dagger. The queen screamed in pain: "You..."
"Empress, if you want to hate you, don't be so servile. What you should hate is Concubine Yuan Gui. It was she who asked me to do this." Mother whispered in the ear of the Empress. Then she took out the dagger and saw the wet nurse.
He didn't look here, but looked out the door from time to time, feeling relieved.
It's her sister, it turns out to be her. She didn't expect that the person who wanted her life was actually her sister. At this time, the Queen's eyes were a little distracted, and she was a little unwilling, but she had no ability to struggle, but what about her child?
Just like that, the Queen's blood collapsed, and for a while, Grandma was busy.
The man in black holding the baby snatched the baby and quickly flew out of the palace.
On a night like this, it would be difficult for someone to find a man in black with a baby. Unfortunately, there was a thunderstorm tonight. Just as the eldest lady was walking back, a flash made her see clearly that there was a man in black in his arms.
Still holding something, how could Yu'er catch up with the man in black, so she had to give up the idea and wanted to return to Fengluan Palace as soon as possible. She felt that tonight was not peaceful. The man in black heard the child's cry
After crying, he became a little anxious and quickly came to the moat. The river water was very fast tonight, and then he looked at the baby in his arms. At this time, he didn't know whether the child was asleep or dead. He was lying quietly in his arms.
, he couldn't bear it, so he took a wooden basin from a house by the river, threw the baby into the basin, and left her to fend for herself.
Unexpectedly, when Yu'er returned to Fengluan Hall, there was no one at the door. She only heard the nanny shouting inside that the Queen had suffered a collapse of blood and passed away due to dystocia. Yu'er was just about to rush in, but found that there was no one in the courtyard.
Something was not normal, so she found some blood mixed with the rainwater in the yard, but it was still clearly visible. So she shuddered, and did not enter the house. She just poked the window with her fingers outside and saw
The situation inside.
She saw that Mammy had no intention of harming His Highness, but why did the man in black only take away one child?
