The news that Chen suffered from dystocia and gave birth to a baby girl despite her desperate efforts reached the Beihai Palace.
Zhao Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
At that time, if there is another "prince" in the palace, the situation will become more complicated, which will be greatly disadvantageous to Xu Jing. Whether Chen's birth is a "princess", no matter how good she is.
Ms. Chen, who had been caesareaned, didn't know whether she could survive the ordeal.
Zhao Xiyan thought for a while and called Xu Ying over to discuss.
Xu Ying whispered: "Mr. Chen is the princess of Prince Yingchuan, and that baby girl will be born as the princess of Prince Yingchuan. My aunt will have to go to the palace in person to congratulate her in the third month of the year. Then I will see it with my own eyes."
One look at Mr. Chen and you will agree."
That’s how it has to be.
Zhao Xiyan nodded.
Unexpectedly, in the second month, the bad news came from the palace that Mrs. Chen had passed away.
Women's childbirth is inherently a gate of death. Once a child encounters dystocia, nine out of ten women will die in childbirth. Chen's death is disappointing, but it was also expected by everyone.
The Chen family was not allowed to be a concubine in the palace, and funerals could not be held in the palace. The body was sent back to the Prince of Yingchuan that same month. Also sent back to the palace was the Prince of Yingchuan, who was as silent and motionless as a wooden sculpture.
Xu Jing and others were shocked to hear the bad news and rushed back to the capital from the military camp. By the time they arrived at the Yingchuan Palace, another day had passed.
The Prince's Mansion of Yingchuan is completely plain.
There was a coffin in the mourning hall. Mrs. Chen changed into a clean and tidy dress and lay quietly in the coffin. When she looked closer, she could see that the stiff and green face was twisted and ferocious. It was obvious that there was something before her death.
How painful.
The Chen family's son and daughter stayed in Yingchuan County. The little princess was only three days old and could not see the light or the cold. She was carried into the Jiaofang Palace by Queen Su.
Because of this, the mourning hall of Mrs. Chen was deserted. Although she had given birth to three children, not even a single one was crying.
There were quite a few female relatives who came to express their condolences for Mrs. Chen. They came and left in a hurry, as if there were vicious dogs following behind them, and they neither dared nor wanted to stay for a moment longer in the Yingchuan Palace.
Xu Jing bowed his head at Chen's coffin and bowed three times. Then he walked up to Prince Yingchuan who looked dull and wooden, and sighed: "My cousin died in childbirth, and my fate was unlucky. My cousin is deeply saddened by this loss, and I feel sad in my heart."
, it is not unavoidable. But, my cousin also has to take care of himself. The little princess in the palace really needs my cousin to take care of her."
Little princess?
Prince Yingchuan's face suddenly twitched, and a strange and strange sound came out of his mouth. He seemed to be laughing or crying.
Xu Jing saw this and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Prince Yingchuan wanted to win a place in front of Emperor Yongming by sacrificing his wife and son.
In the end, the fight was in vain. Even Chen's life was lost.
Xu Jing stayed in the mourning hall for a while and was about to leave. Zhao Xiyan and Cao, the princess of Xihe Prince, came to express their condolences.
Zhao Xiyan was pregnant. According to Jin Dynasty customs, pregnant women were not allowed to enter the mourning hall. Zhao Xiyan said goodbye outside the mourning hall.
Xu Jing quickly stepped forward and held Zhao Xiyan's leg tightly.
Xu Jing's legs were trembling slightly.
Without Xu Jing opening his mouth, Zhao Xiyan knew what Xu Jing was nervous and worried about. She gave Xu Jing a comforting look and said softly: "My cousin is having a difficult labor, maybe because the baby in her belly is too big and she can't give birth. No, all women are like that."
, I don’t need to be afraid.”
How could he be afraid?
Seeing Chen's cold corpse lying in the coffin, he was extremely frightened. Even if it was one thousandth of a thousand cocoa, it also made him feel terrified.
"Yueya'er," Xu Jing couldn't say much in front of everyone, so he stretched out his legs to hold her legs firmly in his palms, and whispered: "My cousin is full of grief, and he can't listen to anything he says now. They
Go back first!"
Zhao Xiyan hummed and followed Xu Jing to bid farewell to Prince Yingchuan.
Prince Yingchuan seemed to have lost his mind and let out a loud and strange cry, causing everyone to turn a deaf ear.
Could it be that he personally sent Mrs. Chen to the dragon's bed, and whether Chen Shi Lai's marriage to Yan Sou's family farm was all due to his ambition and greed? What's the use of crying like that now?
Is it very likely that Mrs. Chen will survive?
Zhao Xiyan was disdainful and unwilling to take another look at Prince Yingchuan, and quickly left with Xu Jing.
…
The young couple returned to Beihai Palace in silence.
After entering the dormitory and closing the door, Xu Jing immediately stretched out his legs to take Zhao Xiyan into his arms. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go for a moment.
Zhao Xiyan knew the fear and anxiety in his heart, stretched out her legs to caress his handsome face, and comforted him softly: "Brother Chunsheng, don't be afraid, he is very well. The baby in his belly is also very well."
When Xiang Yue mentioned the child, Xu Jing's heart was full of tenderness. Ming Yue's mood was complicated and obscure, and she actually opened her mouth and said: "Whether it's a son or a daughter, just give birth to that one."
Zhao Xiyan thought it was funny at first, then looked at Xu Jing with a serious and almost solemn expression: "Sister Yue Yaer, he is not joking, he denies the truth."
"When a woman gives birth, she has to go to hell. Even if there is only one ten thousandth of cocoa, he is very afraid. In his heart, there is nothing more important than me."
Zhao Xiyan's heart was burning, and she snuggled into Xu Jing's arms: "Okay, he listens to me. After giving birth to the child in his belly, he will take Baizi Decoction."
Xu Jing's slightly trembling body slowly returned to normal.
The two hugged each other quietly. After a long time, Xu Jing whispered in a low voice: "My cousin has been raising the fetus in the palace, and the imperial doctor takes good care of it every month. The baby in her belly is too big. Isn't the queen already aware of it?"
"
The couple kept their mouths shut, they had nothing to say without any scruples.
Zhao Xiyan hummed and said softly: "The emperor only cares about the child in Chen's belly, and doesn't care about Chen's life or death at all. Although the empress's plan was a bit vicious, it did have a good idea of the emperor's thoughts.
"
Empress Su and Emperor Yongming have been husband and wife for many years, and they have always loved each other, so they naturally have their patience and legs.
Xu Jing was silent for a moment, then suddenly whispered: "Sister Yue Ya'er, I don't trust the imperial doctor he brought back from the palace too much."
"From now on, I will go back to the Zhao Mansion every half month. I will ask my eldest aunt to secretly ask a doctor to come and diagnose my pulse."
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
The prince treated him as if he were his own brother, so it was unclear what Empress Su had in mind.
Zhao Xiyan glanced at Xu Jing: "The fifth cousin and the seventh cousin often come to see him, and each time they bring a female doctor. The female doctor is in her thirties, and she dresses like a mother in charge. She will treat him when she comes.
Diagnose the pulse.”
Xu Jing: "..."
Xu Jing scratched his head and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, returning to the Zhao Mansion from time to time is too conspicuous. It would be safer to do that. I really don't, why have I never told him about such tight things?"
Zhao Xiyan smiled slightly: "I will go about my errands, and he will take care of himself and the children."
