A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

After hearing the news, the queen also rushed to Chengping Palace in a hurry.

After arriving at Chengping Palace, she saw people up and down the hall, all busy in an orderly manner. When Ling Xiangxiang saw the Queen, she quickly saluted her.

"Your Majesty, the Queen." Ling Xiangxiang said

"Get up, what's going on inside? Has the emperor come?" asked the queen.

"Replying to the Queen, the Emperor has arrived, and the imperial physician and the midwife are in the room!" Ling Xiangxiang replied.

"Yes." The queen responded and pushed open the door and walked in.

As soon as the door was opened, I saw the emperor sitting in the main hall, and the palace servants in the inner hall were constantly coming in and out.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I am late. I wonder if Zuo Changzai is in any trouble?" the Queen said.

Xiao Rui frowned and said, "I'm not the imperial physician. If you want to know, just go inside and ask the imperial physician."

The queen suddenly felt frustrated and her face turned very ugly. She didn't know how she had offended the emperor to make him so impatient with her.

"Yes..." said the Queen

Before the Queen could enter, the Imperial Physician suddenly came out and said, "Oh no, Your Majesty! Concubine Zuo is having a difficult labor!"

Xiao Rui stood up in an instant. "How could it be a difficult birth? Isn't the heir to the throne not yet full-term? How could this happen!"

The Queen also echoed, "Yes, how could this happen..."

"That's right. Concubine Zuo...she ate too much food on a daily basis, and the fetus was too large, which led to a difficult birth. Your Majesty, please decide whether to save the older one or the younger one!" said the imperial physician

The queen thought of Zuo Wenyi's current figure. Indeed, ever since she became pregnant, she had never restrained her appetite...

Xiao Rui also suddenly remembered that when he came to Chengping Palace to see her that day, he heard the conversation between Zuo Wenyi and her maid at the door. Perhaps from that moment on, the little good impression Xiao Rui had left for her was gone!

"Your Majesty... please make a decision as soon as possible!" said the imperial physician, looking at Xiao Rui's pensive face.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses and said, "I have lost too many children. I cannot lose any more."

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, the imperial physician had already understood the emperor's implication.

"Yes, yes! I'll take my leave!" After the imperial physician said this, he went back in.

The queen secretly glanced at the emperor. It was true that the emperor did not have even a single bit of extra affection for Zuo Changzai!

Hall

The imperial physician said, "My dear midwives, I have ordered someone to prepare some medicine. I will give it to Zuo Changzai later. You all need to do your best to help the dragon fetus in Zuo Changzai's belly be born!"

A midwife who was not very smart turned around and said, "Doctor, should we save the elder or the younger one? Has the emperor given us a definite answer? If the emperor doesn't say anything, we old servants really dare not act rashly!"

Another midwife nudged her with her elbow and whispered, "Didn't you hear what the imperial physician said just now, asking us to do our best to bring Zuo Changzai's dragon fetus into the world? Don't you understand?"

The midwife suddenly realized what was going on, nodded, and whispered, "So that's how it is! Then we know what to do! We will do our best to protect the heir to the throne!"

Their little action was discovered by Manxu, who shouted, "What do you mean? Do you only care about the dragon fetus and not the life of my young master?"

The midwife was not someone to be trifled with. She retorted, "Where did you come from, you little stinky girl? Why are you making such a fuss? Your master has fainted from the pain, and you still have the energy to scream!"

"Hurry, hurry, kick her out! She is disturbing us while Zuo Changzai is giving birth!"

The young palace maids didn't dare to move, after all, Manxu was still the head maid here.

The midwife urged, "Hurry up! If you delay Zuo Changzai and the dragon fetus, can you afford to pay with your heads?"

After hearing this, several young palace maids stepped forward and pulled Manxu out, but Manxu continued to struggle.

"I won't leave! I won't go out! You only care about the royal heir, not my young lady's life!" Manxu shouted.

Manxu was taken to the outer hall. Xiao Rui felt her noisy voice sounded familiar. Wasn't this the palace maid who criticized Song Qingwan together with Zuo Wenyi last time?

When Manxu saw that the emperor and the queen were also there, she had no choice but to bow her head and say, "Your servant greets the emperor and the queen."

"What are you making such a fuss about! How disgraceful!" the queen began to lecture him.

Ling Xiangxiang heard the noise and hurried in, pointing at Manxu angrily and saying, "Empress, this palace maid is confused! Today, I sent someone to invite the imperial physician, the emperor, and you, but she obstructed me in every way!"

The Queen was shocked and said, "There is such a thing! Zuo Changzai really made a mistake in choosing you to be her personal maid!"

Manxu quickly shook her head and explained, "No... No, Queen, Concubine Ling has always been at odds with our young master... I was afraid... I was afraid that she would harm our young master, so I took extra precautions!"

After hearing this, Ling Xiangxiang was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "What do you mean by this? When have I ever harmed your young mistress? Don't spit blood on me! If I hadn't been here today, Zuo Wenyi would be in so much danger right now!"

Manxu also raised her head and said without showing any weakness, "It's you. You have always been at odds with our young master. Today, you suddenly cry for mercy. Who knows if you are a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken, with ulterior motives!"

The queen shouted, "Shut up! How dare you, a maid, speak to Changzai like that?"

Manxu looked at the Queen, and then remembered that the Emperor and the Queen were still there, and she really should restrain herself...

"Yes, I know I was wrong..." Manxu said with her head down.

"Take him away and sentence him to death immediately."

At the sound of the order to commit suicide, everyone raised their heads at the same time and looked at Xiao Rui's unfathomable face.

"Ah?" Manxu opened her mouth in surprise.

The queen did not expect that the emperor would punish her so severely, and suddenly said, "I will execute her immediately!" How bad is the emperor's mood today...

"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty. I will never dare to do it again! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Manxu was crying and shouting when she was dragged away.

Although Ling Xiangxiang had just reported Manxu, she had never thought of taking her life! Seeing Manxu being dragged away, Ling Xiangxiang was so scared that she quickly knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I...I didn't mean that. Although Manxu tried to stop me in every way, her original intention was for Zuo Changzai...I don't deserve to die..."

Ling Xiangxiang thought that the emperor wanted to sentence Manxu to death because of what she had just said.

Xiao Rui followed her words and said, "As Zuo Changzai's personal maid, she failed to make sense at the critical moment and almost harmed Zuo Changzai and the heir in her belly!"

"Zuo Changzai was giving birth in there, and she was screaming and shouting, and was kicked out. People like her deserve to die a hundred times!"

After hearing this, the Queen and Ling Xiangxiang both lowered their heads and dared not say anything more...

However, what Xiao Rui really thought in his heart was that a palace maid cursed Concubine Yu behind her back! Moreover, he had just announced the issue of protecting the elder and the younger. If Zuo Wenyi was lucky enough to survive, this Manxu would also be a problem!
