The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters
Chapter 3: Concubine Jia is about to give birth
On the night of the Ghost Festival, it rained heavily. Concubine Jia suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and she thought it was because she was about to give birth.
Zhenshu immediately called the midwife who had been selected long ago and the imperial physician who had been serving Concubine Jia, but for some reason, the baby was not born after a long time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhenshu sent someone to Changchun Palace to ask for an audience with the Queen, hoping that the Queen would come and take a look.
However, the Queen's Seventh Prince has been very weak since he was born. Imperial Physician Qi asserted that the Seventh Prince was born prematurely and was weak, and that his life would be extremely dangerous before he turned ten years old, and that he would need meticulous care and careful nursing to keep him safe.
It suddenly rained heavily in the palace today, and the Seventh Prince seemed to be frightened and kept crying. When Qixiang Palace sent people to invite the Queen, the Queen Fucha was holding the Seventh Prince and ordered the palace people to ask for the Buddha statue to bless the Seventh Prince.
"Your Majesty, my mistress is having trouble giving birth. Could you please go and take a look?" The maid in Qixiang Palace pleaded.
The Seventh Prince kept crying. Empress Fucha thought that Concubine Jia had experience in childbirth and there were people to serve her, so she didn't need to go herself, so she said so.
"The imperial physician who has been taking care of Concubine Jia in Qixiang Palace and the midwife who has been waiting for a long time will surely be able to take care of Concubine Jia. I have to take care of the Seventh Prince and cannot be away."
Qixiang Palace was bustling with activity. Wei Yanwan hid behind a pillar outside the palace, listening to Concubine Jia's screams due to a difficult labor. Thinking of the five years of torture the original owner had endured in Qixiang Palace, and thinking of her own suffering during these days, she couldn't help but curse softly, "You violent woman, I wish you would die in pain!"
Zhenshu asked the young eunuch at the door why the emperor had not come yet. The young eunuch knew that the emperor and his ministers had been worried about flood control in recent days, and ordered that no one was allowed to disturb them.
Zhenshu was furious and anxious, and suddenly shouted in the palace: "Ying'er! Ying'er, where have you gone to hide this time?!"
Wei Yanwan had no choice but to lean forward and agree: "Hey! I'm here!"
Zhenshu ordered, "Ying'er, go to the Yangxin Palace and invite the emperor right now! If you can't invite him, I'll kill you!"
There was no other way, Wei Yanwan could only hold a bamboo hat and run to the Yangxin Palace in the heavy rain, stepping deep and shallow.
At this moment, the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was closed. Emperor Qianlong's chief eunuch Li Yu and his two apprentices Jinzhong and Jinbao were waiting outside the gate.
Wei Yanwan bowed to Li Yu and explained her purpose: "I am a maid in Qixiang Palace. Concubine Jia is having a difficult delivery. I wonder if Eunuch Li could help me pass on the message and ask the emperor to come to Qixiang Palace?"
Li Yu was in a dilemma when he heard this. He said, "Oh, what a coincidence! The emperor is discussing flood control with Lord Gao Bin and has ordered that no one should disturb him. How about this, I will inform the emperor as soon as he finishes discussing things! Who are you?"
Wei Yanwan hurriedly said, "I am Ying'er from Qixiang Palace."
Li Yu ordered: "It's raining so hard, you should go back first, Jinzhong, you can take Ying'er back."
When Jinzhong first saw the palace maid named Ying'er, he was deeply fascinated by her beauty. He agreed to Li Yu's words, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and sent Wei Yanwan back.
Wei Yanwan knew that she was following the plot. This person was the noble man who changed the original owner's fate and pulled the original owner out of the hell of Qixiang Palace!
Wei Yanwan was daydreaming when Jinzhong proposed to work with her to climb up the ladder. Wei Yanwan had no choice but to agree.
According to the plot of the book, although Jinzhong is an ambitious eunuch who often makes moves on the original owner, he is the original owner's biggest helper and is loyal to him.
If the original owner had not had a bad impression of Jinzhong and had not always had Ling Yunche, her childhood sweetheart, in her heart, how could she have killed Jinzhong?
Wei Yanwan felt that this was very unreasonable. It was not something that the rational and sentimental original owner would do at all. The author must have deliberately made the original owner confused and cut off her arm in order to let the heroine Ruyi win.
In fact, Wei Yanwan still admired Jinzhong in her heart. If the two of them really joined forces, it would be better for her to persuade Jinzhong not to be too harsh while ensuring her own safety. This could be considered as a good deed.
After a night of tossing and turning, Concubine Jia finally gave birth to the eighth prince. However, she was still upset that the emperor did not come to Qixiang Palace to see her.
Not only that, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were born one after another, but the rewards received by his own Eighth Prince were completely in accordance with the rules. Unlike Empress Fucha's Seventh Prince, who was favored by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, he was even named Yongxuan on the full moon day.
Concubine Jia was dissatisfied and said, "Don't think that I don't know what the word Xuan means. A beautiful stone is inferior to jade, or even not jade! They are both the emperor's sons, why are they so different!"
At this time, Wei Yanwan brought a basin of boiled ginger water to help Concubine Jia wash her hands, and Concubine Jia took out her anger on Wei Yanwan.
"Didn't I tell you to invite the emperor to Qixiang Palace? Why did you come back alone? If it wasn't for the day when the Eighth Prince was born, you couldn't invite the emperor. How could the emperor only reward the Eighth Prince with these things?"
"It's all because of you, this useless piece of trash! Nothing has ever gone well for me since I left you to serve me in Qixiang Palace! What are you still kneeling here for? Get out of here right now!"
As she spoke, Concubine Jia angrily knocked over the basin of ginger water that Wei Yanwan was holding. Even though Wei Yanwan had been prepared, she was still splashed with a lot of hot water.
Concubine Jia and Zhenshu left, and the other servants also left. Wei Yanwan was the only one kneeling in the hall.
Wei Yanwan did not cry, nor did she show any resentment or anger on her face. She just waited quietly for the opportunity to turn things around.
One day, Concubine Jia took the Eighth Prince and the palace servants to pay respects to Empress Fucha. In the imperial garden, they happened to meet Concubine Xian and Concubine Yu who were admiring the flowers.
After the two sides exchanged greetings, Ruyi said, "Eighth Prince is so handsome, it's obvious that the wet nurse took good care of him."
Concubine Jia thanked him and called out in front of Ruyi and Hailan, "Ying'er, it's too hot, why don't you fan me quickly?"
Wei Yanwan walked out with her head lowered and took out a fan to fan Concubine Jia.
Then he pinched Wei Yanwan's fair face and scolded, "Ying'er, you are such a stupid girl. You can't do anything right. You are too lazy to even fan yourself! You better watch your skin!"
Ruyi and Hailan both knew that Concubine Jia was using the name Ying'er to deliberately torture Wei Yanwan in front of them.
Ruyi looked a little embarrassed and said, "Jia Fei, if a palace maid can't do her job well, you can just send someone to teach her a lesson. Why get so angry?"
Concubine Jia smiled and said, "Oh, I am just teaching a lazy maid in my palace a lesson. Is there any need for Concubine Xian to feel sorry for me?"
Ruyi was choked by Concubine Jia's words and didn't know what to say for a moment. Just then she heard Jinzhong say, "The Emperor has arrived!"
