Chapter 153 Feng Piao Xue Lan Ning has difficulty in giving birth
Just after noon, it became cloudy again.
Youzhu came out of the back hall of Furong Palace holding a large feather satin cloak, and said with a smile: "I left this one behind when I was washing those big sweater clothes a few days ago!
I saw that the snow would not be very heavy today, so I took advantage of the situation and washed this one too.
Although the empress doesn’t wear it often, she has to wash it clean and leave it alone.”
Fur clothes cannot be soaked in water. The best way is to wash them with snow.
Therefore, every year when it snows, the palace people will hang out the master's woolen sweater clothes, and after getting wet with snow, they will rub them repeatedly with the snow.
This not only removes stains and dust, but also has a certain insect-proof effect.
Xue Hengzhao was standing on the steps holding a piece of chestnut cake, breaking it into pieces and throwing it on the ground to feed the foraging birds.
Hearing Youzhu say this, she went over and took the bamboo pole to support her clothes.
"I can do it myself, it's just this one thing anyway." You Zhu didn't let Xue Hengzhao help, "You can go on your own."
Xue Hengzhao didn't force herself, and no one in the palace ever bothered her to work.
Even Concubine Fu doesn’t ask her for ordinary things.
As soon as Youzhu put on his clothes, a little palace maid hurried over and said to Xue Hengzhao: "Sister Hengzhao, the empress asked you to come over quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Xue Hengzhao asked.
"It should be about the fifth prince's concubine," the little palace maid said, "I heard that she was going to give birth before dawn, but she hasn't given birth yet."
Before Xue Hengzhao could say anything, Youzhu pulled her and hurried forward.
Concubine Fu looked anxious, and Wei Zhong and others were all there, obviously discussing what to do.
"I can't get out of the palace, so I can only send someone over," Concubine Fu said, "Nanny Qi, go! You are Lao Wu's nanny, and you were there to take care of me when I gave birth to him.
Let’s go to a young girl, Heng Zhao, you can read and write, and you won’t panic when things happen.”
Aunt Qi and Xue Hengzhao both agreed below.
Concubine Fu said: "Wei Zhong, you go talk to Concubine Ying and Concubine Xian, and hurry up. Now that the Queen is ill, the affairs of the palace are under the control of these two people. They must have asked for instructions, and don't let others find fault." Wei Zhong also quickly agreed to go.
At this time, Danyue said: "Your Majesty, I remember that the Queen's place has Zijin Baoning Pills, which are specially used to deal with difficult labor. I will ask for them now."
"Yes, yes, thank you for remembering that this medicine is only available from the Empress." Concubine Fu said, "Go ahead! But remember, don't panic. The Empress is currently unwell.
, don’t disturb me.”
Danyue left in a hurry.
About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Zhong came back after asking for instructions and said: "Both empresses agreed, and they also said that they would send an imperial doctor to the Fifth Prince's Mansion."
"Okay," said Concubine Fu, "Aunt Qi, Heng Zhao, you two have finished cleaning up, right? When Dan Yue asks for it, you can leave the palace as soon as possible."
After a while, Danyue ran back panting, wrapping a pill in a handkerchief: "Du Juan... Sister Du Juan said that this medicine... you can only take one pill of this medicine.
Use warm water for diarrhea and use three slices of ginseng as medicine."
Xue Hengzhao took the medicine from her hand.
Concubine Fu warned again: "Be careful when you get there. If both adults and children are safe, that would be the best.
If not, try to save Lan Ning's life.
You don’t have to wait for the doctor, go ahead! So that you can give this medicine to Lan Ning.”
So Xue Hengzhao and Grandma He Qi left the palace, and the carriage from the Fifth Prince's Mansion was waiting outside the palace gate.
At this time, snow was already falling from the sky. The snow was coming so fiercely that in a short time, the ground was completely white.
The carriage rushed all the way back to the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Xue Hengzhao helped Nanny Qi go in. Someone had already come out from the second door to greet her.
At this time, the snow was so dense that people could hardly open their eyes, and the wind was so strong that it turned the world into chaos.
After finally entering the house, the servants brought the brazier and asked the two of them to warm themselves up.
Aunt Qi didn't care and said hurriedly: "We brought Zijin Baoning Pills from the palace, give them to the fifth prince and concubine quickly!"
With that said, he asked Xue Hengzhao to take out the medicine quickly.
Xue Hengzhao touched his body again and again and said: "Oh no, I don't know where the medicine fell."
"How... how could this be missing?!" Grandma Qi stamped her feet anxiously, "Look for it quickly! Find it quickly!"
"Don't fall into the snow when you came in just now," the servant in the mansion said, "I'll have someone look for you right now."
"Let's look for it on the carriage too!" Xue Hengzhao said, "We were in such a hurry along the way, maybe we fell into the carriage."
Not mentioning the call for people to find medicine over there, Nanny Qi asked the person accompanying her: "How is the fifth prince's concubine doing now?"
"Oh! I no longer have the energy to give birth, and the baby hasn't even revealed its head yet!" Accompanying them were two women in the house.
"We're almost warm now, let's go over and have a look!" Aunt Qi said, "Just go through it from here, right?"
"You two come with us." The two women led Xue Hengzhao and Nanny Qi to the backyard where the fifth princess gave birth.
Before he could enter the door, he saw the maid coming out with a basin of blood and pouring it backwards.
Afraid of Lan Ning's coldness, several carbon basins were placed in the room. The hot air mixed with the smell of blood made people feel uncomfortable.
But how can the people here care about this? They are all so busy.
When they arrived at the inner room, Xue Hengzhao and Nanny Qi came forward to say hello. They saw Lan Ning's face was pale, her hair was wet and stuck to her cheeks, and she looked indescribably embarrassed and weak.
The old lady and grandma of the Lan family are here, feeding Lan Ning soup and porridge.
"Having a baby takes a lot of energy, so it's right to eat something." Nanny Qi said, "Bring another pillow to raise the fifth princess's head. It's too tiring to hold on like this all the time.
Get some more plant ash and spread it more. This is a good thing and can prevent mothers from getting puerperal diseases."
"Hey, go quickly." The old lady of the Lan family breathed a sigh of relief because someone came to the palace, and sent the people around her to do as Grandma Qi said.
"The palace will send an imperial doctor over soon," said Nanny Qi. "This is the princess's first child, so she will naturally be slower.
I think when our mother-in-law gave birth to the fifth prince, she gave birth to her for a day and a night!"
"Aunt Qi, now that you're here, I'm not so worried." Old Mrs. Lan's family said, "We went to Dr. Sun's house to invite her before, knowing that he won't be on duty today.
But their family members said that Dr. Sun accidentally fell and dislocated his arm last night and was unable to see a doctor.
So I sent people to tell the empress, knowing that she would definitely find a solution in the palace."
As for the palace, they sent Dr. Zhou to the fifth prince’s residence.
Because the snow was falling heavily, Dr. Zhou asked a young eunuch who knew the way to lead the horse. He lay on the horse's back and held the medicine box.
After leaving the palace, I walked down a street and was stopped by someone.
"Excuse me, who is the imperial physician? Are you going to the fifth prince's house?"
The young eunuch and Doctor Zhou both thought they were people sent by the Fifth Prince's Mansion to take care of him, so they hurriedly agreed.
But the man said: "Our master is in front, please take a step to speak."
