Yuan Qingling came to Caiming Palace anyway, and the Supreme Emperor also acquiesced. He had no prejudice against Concubine Hu, and she was pregnant with a royal child after all.
Yuan Qingling came to Caiming Hall, and Emperor Ming Yuan was still guarding Concubine Hu. When he saw Yuan Qingling coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"See you, Father!"
Yuan Qingling stepped forward and saluted.
"No need to be polite, come and take a look!"
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at her with gentle eyes and stood up to make way for Yuan Qing Ling.
Yuan Qingling responded, walked over and stood beside the bed. Concubine Hu looked at her, tears welled up in her eyes again, but she held back her tears.
Yuan Qingling asked softly: "How do you feel, empress?"
Concubine Hu's voice had a heavy nasal sound and her voice trembled, "It may not be good. I'm mentally prepared. My stomach still hasn't moved for a long time."
Fetal movement is the greatest interaction between mother and child, allowing them to sense each other.
Yuan Qingling said softly: "Let me listen to the fetal heartbeat!"
When she came, she was actually mentally prepared. Her grandma told her that Concubine Hu's fetus was not going to work, so she didn't have much hope when she came this time.
The stethoscope moved in Concubine Hu's abdomen, from top to bottom, from left to right, and listened several times. There was no fetal movement or fetal heartbeat.
Grandma’s judgment was correct, the baby was indeed stillborn.
The oxytocin in the medicine box was probably used on Concubine Hu.
She didn't need to say anything. Emperor Ming Yuan and Concubine Hu had already seen the same result as the old lady from Yuan Qingling's face. Emperor Ming Yuan felt a pain in his heart and his whole body was cold. When the old lady said it, he still held out hope and thought
You can recover from moxa fever or taking birth control pills.
On the contrary, Concubine Hu did not cry, but placed her hands tremblingly on her abdomen, slowly closed her eyes, and sighed deeply.
Yuan Qingling felt quite uncomfortable in her heart. She was a mother and she was pregnant with a baby. Naturally, she knew how much Concubine Hu expected and had deep feelings for this child.
If a child dies in the womb, labor must be induced, otherwise the mother's body will be in danger. Yuan Qingling does not need to explain this truth, both Emperor Ming Yuan and Concubine Hu know it.
Oxytocin was injected, and grandma also prescribed a prescription, boiling the medicine into a potion for Concubine Hu to take.
The entire Caiming Hall was deathly silent, except for the occasional cry from the next door hall.
Concubine Hu never cried. She lay on the bed like a dead person. Only once or twice, she looked outside the palace, looked for a while, and then slowly looked back.
Emperor Ming Yuan asked her, "Do you want to see Xiao Lao Shi?"
I’ll ask someone to bring him over to see you.”
Concubine Hu slowly shook her head, "No."
After a long while, she said: "I want to see your empress!"
The empress she was talking about was the imperial concubine, and Emperor Ming Yuan knew it. However, he frowned slightly and said, "She is still getting angry. When I get back, I will send someone to pass the order to her and ask her to come and see you."
When Concubine Hu heard this, she said, "That's no need. I don't really want to see her either."
After the medicine took effect, Concubine Hu began to feel abdominal pain. The fetus was almost six months old. This was as difficult for her as giving birth.
After a period of hardships, a male fetus was delivered. Concubine Hu finally burst into tears, did not look at it, and asked someone to take her away in a hurry.
Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at his unfated son, as if he was trapped in a nightmare, his mind was almost blank, his lips trembled a few times, but he could not utter a single word.
Yuan Qingling felt extremely uncomfortable. She turned around and wiped her tears secretly, feeling a heavy sense of powerlessness in her heart.
Gradually, there were suppressed sobs in the palace, coming from the servants in the palace. Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at him displeasedly, and the servants hurriedly covered their mouths, not daring to feel uncomfortable.
Concubine Hu felt extremely uncomfortable. Seeing Emperor Ming Yuan's behavior, she felt very depressed. She stopped crying and said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to accompany me. I want to be clean by myself."
Concubine Hu has been talking these days, calling herself my concubine and calling you respectfully. Although there is nothing wrong with speaking like this in the harem, she rarely did this in front of Emperor Ming Yuan in the past. Emperor Ming Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing this, but he also
Can't bear to blame.
Maybe the atmosphere in this palace was really depressing, maybe because Yuan Qingling was here, he couldn't say anything to Concubine Hu, so he comforted her a few words, asked Yuan Qingling to accompany her, and then left.
As soon as Emperor Ming Yuan left, Concubine Hu took a deep breath.
Yuan Qingling sat next to her and said softly: "My dear, don't be too sad, your health is important."
Concubine Hu gave a bitter smile, tears welling up in her eyes again, "It's a lie not to be sad, but I can't help it. This child has no fate with me."
"You are still young and will have children of your own in the future."
Yuan Qingling's words of comfort were insincere, because she knew that these words would never be able to comfort a mother who had just lost her child.
Concubine Hu stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, looked at the luxurious tent ceiling, and murmured: "I've been wondering lately if I've done something wrong."
"Um?"
Yuan Qingling was puzzled.
Concubine Hu looked at her with sorrow in her eyes, "I feel like I'm always out of breath."
Yuan Qingling held her hand and said, "It will be fine!"
Concubine Hu said bitterly: "Okay, life has to go on. Crown Princess, help me go see the imperial concubine. The emperor slapped her, and she must feel uncomfortable."
When Yuan Qingling heard this, her expression suddenly changed, "Father, did you beat her?
Why?"
Concubine Hu said: "Because the imperial concubine did not allow the imperial doctor to ask you to treat me, she was afraid that if you could not save the child in my belly, the emperor would punish you. The emperor was furious and slapped her, which made her sad.
She then said that she would move into the Changmen Hall and never come out again. The emperor broke her heart this time."
Concubine Hu said that she could no longer bear the grief in her heart and cried loudly.
Yuan Qingling suddenly felt all kinds of feelings in his heart. What was more, was the anger that could not be ignored. The imperial concubine was pregnant with his child, and he was able to kill her. Is he crazy?
Could it be that only the people closest to his heart are human beings?
Are everyone else just stones, heartless and emotionless?
She was aware of the imperial concubine's thoughts towards the emperor, and said she was indifferent, but from the time she entered the palace to now as the imperial concubine, she had always kept his position, a position she planned to love for the rest of her life.
But when Concubine Hu came, he was crazy about her, so she had to give in, because if she didn't give in, there would be no place for her. It was so rare that she got pregnant with a child and fulfilled her lifelong dream, but with the dignity of an imperial concubine, she was treated as a royal concubine by the emperor.
Slap in the face, Yuan Qingling felt extremely distressed when she thought of this.
Moreover, the imperial concubine did it for her, so she felt both distressed and guilty.
"I'll go there!"
Yuan Qingling couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, ordered the palace servants to look after Concubine Hu, and then hurried out.
After the imperial concubine returned to the palace, she was so heartbroken that she immediately asked people to pack her things. All of Jin Gui's belongings were discarded. She only collected her clothes and daily necessities and moved them to Changmen Palace first.
Nagato-den is located next to the cold palace, in the northwest corner of the imperial palace. Although it is not deserted, it is deserted and rundown. After the imperial concubine moved in, the palace began to clean up.
Yuan Qingling went to her palace but couldn't find her, so she went straight to Changmen Hall.
