As the sun gradually set in the west, Zhang Lin hurriedly approached and reported, "Your Majesty, that Baozhu confessed, but - she said that the imperial concubine ordered it, and also said that the imperial concubine was dissatisfied with Guiren Ning, so she wanted to teach her a lesson."
Shu Jin: Oh, as expected.
Yinzhen's face darkened: "Continue the trial! Ask the Shenxing Division to be more attentive to me!"
"嗻!"
Shu Jin hurriedly offered a cup of tea to Yongzheng, "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to relieve your anger."
Yinzhen glanced at Geng, "You're not angry?"
Shu Jin smiled slightly and said: "As expected, this orb... is somewhat loyal." But she didn't know whether her loyal master was Ning Guiren or someone else.
Yinzhen's face suddenly darkened, and he glanced in the direction of the side hall.
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "It may not be Ning Guiren." - It's just that since Ning Guiren entered Dan Ning Palace, she has been keeping people's eyes on her, but she has never found that this orb has come into contact with anyone outside... Could it be, really?
Ning Guiren himself was confused?
Is it because Concubine Dun spread those rumors a while ago that disturbed Ning Guiren's mind? She has obviously explained and guaranteed it again and again.
"It's about the emperor's heir, Ning Guiren shouldn't be so confused." Shu Jin frowned.
Yinzhen snorted, "I originally wanted to make her a concubine..."
Shu Jin secretly thought that before Baozhu's mouth could be pried open, Yongzheng had already suspected Ning Guiren - it was clear that Concubine Dun had intended to seize the son, but Yongzheng was not suspicious.
Investigating the root cause, isn't it because Ning Guiren is her eccentric position? And Concubine Dun has never been very smart, so how did she get the ability to reach into Danning Palace? More importantly, this incident happened in Danning Palace.
Without evidence, Shu Jin did not dare to touch Concubine Dun.
Sighing, Concubine Atsushi's attack on the heart this time was really powerful.
"I will go back to approve the papers first, and Ning Guiren will leave it to you. Remember, you must protect the emperor's heir for me." Yinzhen emphasized again.
"Yes, I obey the decree." Ning Guiren was so favored in the past, but now in Yongzheng's eyes, he is a person who can be given up casually.
It would be a loss to give birth to a child to such a man!
After sending the emperor off respectfully, Shu Jin listened to the screams of pain from the side hall, which was gradually getting depressed, and ordered: "Go to the palace's warehouse to get an old ginseng, cut it into slices, and put it in her mouth!"
After all, it is a human life.
Of course, Shu Jin did this mainly because he didn't want to give others advantages in vain.
He also ordered someone to send a message to Hong Xiaozhou, telling her not to come over to say hello this evening, but to go directly back to Changchun Fairy Hall to rest.
Then he told the imperial doctor that the midwife would do her best to deliver the baby, and then she passed on the meal as usual and rested as usual.
That night, Ning Guiren struggled until dawn in the delivery room of the side hall, and Shu Jin didn't sleep well either.
"You haven't given birth yet?" Shu Jin yawned in the mirror, it had been all day and night.
Aunt Lan Ruo was helping her comb her hair, "Oh, the grandma who delivered the baby said that the baby is too big, and it is Ning Guiren's first time to give birth... If it weren't for the centuries-old ginseng, the empress would never have had the strength to survive until now!"
The eldest palace maid Lu Xue hummed: "Why do you have to repay evil with kindness?"
Shu Jin looked at the smooth and neat bun in the mirror and said lightly: "I'm not doing it for her."
"By the way, is there any progress at the Shenxing Department?" Shu Jin asked again.
Lan Ruo just took out a emerald phoenix hairpin and decorated it on Shu Jin's temple. She whispered: "Not yet, that bitch slave has a tough mouth. He fainted twice and still refuses to confess."
Shu Jin narrowed his eyes, "What a loyal servant!"
Lu Xue couldn't help but spat, "The emperor ordered the Shenxing Department to interrogate carefully, but I don't believe it. She can kill you without killing you!"
Lan Ruo said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the Division of Punishment, but the one in the side hall... I have taken two bowls of inducing labor medicine, but I still haven't given birth. I'm afraid I'm going to have a dystocia."
Shu Jin chose a pair of Nanzhu earrings from the box and put them on, "Anyway, I have tried my best. If there is an emergency, the emperor has already given instructions. The imperial doctor and the midwife will know what to do."
Shu Jin sighed again, "Go and get some money, reward the imperial doctor and the nanny, and ask them to show their ability to look after the house. The emperor wants to be safe, and Ning Guiren must do his best to protect it."
"Yes, I'll go right away!" Lan Ruo felt relieved and quickly retreated.
Lu Xue whispered: "This Ning Gui is really smoking from his ancestral grave!"
Shu Jin just didn't want to take advantage of Concubine Dun.
That's right, it would be fine if Ning Guiren's child was a princess, but if it were an elder brother, he would most likely not be able to keep her. In order to avoid suspicion, Shu Jin had already declined with the emperor in advance, so... who would get the advantage in the end?
?
Eighty percent of it is Concubine Atsushi!
If Ning Guiren dies, then the rice cake will be too cheap!
Another day and night, Ning Guiren held her breath and fought for her life in the delivery room. At this moment, she regretted eating too many good nourishing foods, regretting eating the child in her belly so big...
In the early morning of the third day, Shu Jin was awakened from his sleep.
The exhausted midwife came to the main hall with a blood-stained baby in her arms and reported, "Mother, she's given birth! She's finally given birth!"
Shu Jin gradually woke up from the trance, "How is Ning Guiren?"
The midwife said: "Your Majesty passed out from exhaustion."
It's better not to die.
Shu Jin nodded, and then took a look at the crying child. Not only was he covered in blood, but his face was also faintly purple, she couldn't help but frown: "This child..."
The midwife said quickly: "Don't worry, my little brother has just been held in the mother's womb for too long, but it's nothing serious."
Shu Jin waved his hand: "That's good! Reward!"
It was not easy for the midwife and the imperial doctors. They struggled for three days, but they probably didn't even get a wink of sleep. They deserved an extra reward.
Shu Jin fell back to sleep again, and this time his sleep was particularly peaceful, with no dreams until dawn.
After waking up, her whole body felt much better. Although Ning Guiren's pregnancy took a long time, mother and child were considered safe.
That kid...oh, he seems to be an elder brother.
"How much does Eighth Prince weigh?" Shu Jin asked.
Lan Ruo said: "It's eight and a half kilograms!"
Good guy.
Generally speaking, a newborn baby weighing five to six pounds will be easier to give birth to. But if it weighs one more pound, the birth will be much more difficult, let alone a baby weighing eight and a half pounds! Ning Gui's frame is not big, so how many people can she give birth to such a big child?
Share luck.
"By the way, I remember that child was covered in blood..." Shu Jin frowned, Ning Guiren's health was probably not in good shape.
Lan Ruo whispered: "The birth canal was badly torn, and I'm still unconscious."
Shu Jin then said: "Let Dr. Zhou take care of her."
"Yes." Lan Ruo responded, and then said: "When the Eighth Prince fell to the ground, he didn't even cry. The midwife slapped him on the buttocks several times before he howled out. Ning Guiren's pregnancy was really difficult.
If it were any later, the prince might not be able to keep it!"
Shu Jin secretly took a breath, it was really thrilling.
Fortunately, she took out the old ginseng early and called Dr. Zhou to come over and help.
Lan Ruo added: "The Imperial Physician Zhou said that Ning Gui's vitality has been greatly damaged and she should not get pregnant again within three years."
