Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 23 Cannon Fodder Concubine (23)
Concubine Zheng had a miscarriage.
Everyone knew that Concubine Zheng would have a miscarriage, but everyone was hoping that they could use this opportunity to recruit more people into the harem.
Among them, Shen Yao had a different idea from others. She hoped that Concubine Zheng could have the miscarriage later, or even better, it could be delayed. For her, who was pregnant with multiple babies, the longer the time, the better it would be.
We cannot ignore the fact that some people may become desperate and launch a large-scale attack. Shen Yao is a human, not a god, and it is impossible for him to avoid it successfully every time.
To give the simplest example, if someone stabbed her in the stomach with a knife, or pushed her to the ground face to face, even if the system had various pills in hand, she would still have the same symptoms as an ordinary pregnant woman.
After all, the pill’s efficacy is miraculous, but it’s just a pill, not an elixir, and it’s impossible for it to have miraculous effects beyond human cognition.
Of course, most serious things can be dealt with, but Shen Yao prefers to consider things in a more extreme way.
There was no way. It was already incredible that she could get this opportunity. Shen Yao was also afraid deep down.
The longer people live, the more they fear death.
Shen Yao could accept dying peacefully before, but now it is different. Her state of mind has changed. She wants to do everything she can to survive, even if her human nature has changed beyond recognition.
"Princess Zheng had a miscarriage. Can you retrieve the relevant information about Changqiu Palace?"
When Shen Yao received the news, he was still lying in the Hehuan Palace.
On a small round table not far from him, there were several plates of exquisite fruit cakes, and next to it there was a piece of fragrant flower tea and a half-opened storybook.
Obviously, Shen Yao was leisurely eating snacks and reading a storybook.
But because the incident with Concubine Zheng happened suddenly, Shen Yao's peaceful plan was directly interrupted.
She had arranged for Qiuyue to go over and find out the news, while she herself stayed in the couch waiting for notification.
The system's mechanical voice was the same as always, "Host, if you want to see it, you can spend energy points."
Shen Yao pondered over it, and in the end curiosity took over.
"Okay, call it out."
With a wave of her hand, a small screen of several inches appeared in front of Shen Yao, which only she could see.
Although the screen is not big, the people inside can be seen clearly.
After watching for about a quarter of an hour, Shen Yao heard footsteps coming from outside the door. She waved her hand and the projected screen disappeared instantly.
"master"
Qiuyue hurried in, her steps were messy and her voice was slightly panting.
Shen Yao leaned sideways on the soft pillow behind her, motioning Qiuyue to calm down first.
Qiuyue took two sharp breaths, then patted her chest which was rising and falling violently, and finally bowed slightly to Shen Yao, "Concubine Zheng of Changqiu Palace just miscarried a fully formed male fetus.
The emperor was furious, and he tortured all the palace servants in Changqiu Palace and sent them to the torture chamber for failing to take good care of them and prevent them from taking strict precautions.
As a permanent member of the harem, everyone knows what will happen to those who enter the torture chamber.
Qiuyue shuddered, not out of fear, but simply terror.
Concubine Zheng's miscarriage caused unrest in the entire Changqiu Palace.
"Master, does the emperor intend to punish severely?"
Qiuyue asked Shen Yao cautiously. She felt that with such a big commotion, there must be follow-up arrangements.
Shen Yao nodded, tapping her fingers lightly on the smooth surface of the Eight Immortals table. "That's what he meant. Or maybe the emperor wants to take this opportunity to solve the troubles in the harem."
Every time a concubine in the harem becomes pregnant, a group of people with bad intentions will jump out.
In the previous few times, Xiao Yanchen did not cause any serious damage due to various concerns. He just arrested a few unimportant people to give them a warning and warn them not to cross the line.
But at the moment, perhaps the time is ripe, or perhaps there are obvious changes in the court, Xiao Yanchen needs to use some thundering means to intimidate these sneaky people.
Concubine Zheng can only be said to be a good excuse for the attack. After all, this person's pregnancy was lost by her own fault, and Xiao Yanchen did not have any expectations of Concubine Zheng, so he would naturally not show mercy when taking advantage of her.
Shen Yao lowered her head and touched her bulging belly, feeling that Xiao Yanchen was really their biological father and that she was pregnant with triplets at a good time.
Once Xiao Yanchen finishes dealing with this wave, he will be able to save a lot of effort in future production.
"Qiuyue, keep a close eye on the Hehuan Palace these days. If anyone makes any unusual moves, don't hold back, just kick them out."
Shen Yao's eyes became sharp, and a hint of coldness was reflected in her gaze.
Qiuyue immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, I understand."
……
The matter of Concubine Zheng was handled vigorously for more than half a month before it came to an end.
As the emperor, Xiao Yanchen even approved nearly one-third of the palace maids in the harem to leave the palace early.
Not only were the palace servants replaced, but several concubines who often appeared in public were missing.
Zhao Yunyue, who was the second-rank Ning Fei, was ordered by the emperor to stay in the palace for half a year to reflect on her mistakes.
At this point, the turbulent harem finally calmed down.
However, these have nothing to do with Shen Yao, because Shen Yao is still in the Hehuan Palace to take care of her pregnancy. Although there are a group of palace servants arranged by the emperor around her, these people do not affect Shen Yao's daily life, and Shen Yao still lives a happy life.
"You are open-minded. Aren't you worried that others will do something to you and your child?"
Xiao Yanchen held Shen Yao in his arms, and the two of them lay on the couch, entangled.
Shen Yao's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and her cherry lips opened slightly, "Don't worry, the emperor is here."
Xiao Yanchen laughed out loud, "You trust me, aren't you afraid that I won't care about you?"
Shen Yao moved closer to Xiao Yanchen, raised her head and kissed his overly handsome face, "Your Majesty is reluctant to let me go."
She was behaving so well and was pregnant with several healthy babies. Xiao Yanchen would ignore her unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey.
Given Xiao Yanchen's enthusiasm for Shen Yao, will there be a day when he will be kicked by a donkey and leave her alone? It's difficult. Anyway, there is no hope at the moment.
"Don't worry, Yao'er and the baby in your belly are both my treasures."
Shen Yao: ...Brother, it’s a bit greasy.
Although Shen Yao was feeling confused by Xiao Yanchen's cheesy love words, she looked very touched. She blushed and leaned into Xiao Yanchen's arms, thinking that this guy was really something, so it would be better for her to stop talking.
Xiao Yanchen thought Shen Yao was too happy, so he couldn't help but feel even happier.
After all, Xiao Yanchen had taken care of other pregnant concubines before, but most of those people were hypocritical and did not trust the protection Xiao Yanchen arranged. In the end, Xiao Yanchen angrily withdrew the palace servants and stopped caring about them.
Now that Shen Yao enjoyed this treatment, she accepted it completely with an attitude of absolute trust, which made Xiao Yanchen very happy.
call
Among all the people in the harem, Yao'er is still his favorite. It turns out that he should pamper Yao'er more, otherwise he would be heartbroken when Yao'er suffers.
The two people's thinking processes are not on the same level, but the amazing thing is that they can get along well.
Even in the next few months, Xiao Yanchen went to Hehuan Palace more and more frequently.
Hey, isn't Concubine Xi pregnant? The Emperor would rather sleep with a woman who can't serve him than stay in the palace of these people. Is Concubine Xi so strange?
This caused some sour remarks in the harem. The queen could still sit still, but Concubine Zhou could not. She used one child-bearing recipe after another, and directly turned the Chaoyang Palace, which was full of birdsong and flowers, into a medicine hall filled with the aroma of medicine. The situation seemed to be getting worse and worse.
However, due to Xiao Yanchen's special precautions and arrangements, Shen Yao could not receive any of this information.
As time went by, Shen Yao's belly grew bigger and bigger.
Shen Yao, who could originally walk easily, now needed the support of palace servants.
Shen Yao gave up her daily walk outside the door due to her heavy body.
Fortunately, the pills were effective and Shen Yao was in good health. The imperial doctors took her pulse every day and made sufficient preparations. Now, Shen Yao only needed to wait for the birth peacefully and didn't need to worry about anything else.
Normally, a person gives birth after ten months of pregnancy.
But most people don’t carry their pregnancy to a full ten months. Instead, they give birth at more than nine months. Some even give birth to a child that has been well nurtured in the womb at nine months.
Of course, the situation in the palace was more serious, because premature births or difficult births often occurred. After six months, the concubines would have midwives to deliver the babies and wet nurses to breastfeed.
Shen Yao was pregnant with twins, and her due date was just over eight and a half months, but in fact she was pregnant with triplets, which was earlier than the due date.
In fact, because Shen Yao took various pills, the children developed so well in Shen Yao's belly that there were signs of birth when they were just eight months old.
However, these are all considered normal in the eyes of imperial doctors and midwives.
As long as the princes and princesses born are not seriously ill, even if they are weak, they can be raised with medicinal herbs relying on the amazing wealth of the palace.
This is a common occurrence for imperial doctors.
One day in early May, Shen Yao, who was unable to get up from the bed, finished her breakfast with Qiuyue's service. Before she could say a few more words, she felt a stream of warm water flowing from under her body.
Water gushed out with a whoosh, and Shen Yao, who already had various childbirth experiences, realized that she was about to give birth.
"Qiuyue, go call the midwife and the imperial physician, and send someone to notify the Emperor in Taiji Palace and the Empress in Fengyi Palace, and tell them that the outbreak has already begun."
After saying this, Shen Yao swallowed two pills for normal delivery while she still had the strength. Then she closed her eyes and waited for the midwife and the imperial physician to come in.
Qiuyue has been keeping her spirits up every day since May.
Now, after hearing her master's words, she breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and called for help.
The instructions were arranged in an orderly manner, and Qiuyue spoke out the words that she had simulated countless times in her mind.
When everyone started moving and Qiuyue finally had a chance to take a breath, she found that she had a layer of cold sweat on her chest and back without knowing when.
The forehead area is like a waterfall of sweat.
You wipe a lot of it at a time, and it can’t be wiped away or dried up.
Her legs were weak, and if it weren't for the door beside her supporting her body, she would have fallen to the ground.
Turning her head, Qiuyue looked at the palace maids busying around the delivery bed behind her, and suddenly felt a sense of heroism rising in her heart. Since her master was giving birth, she could not fall down.
Qiuyue forced herself to cheer up and ran to the kitchen to prepare the labor-inducing drug in advance, hoping that her master would not need it.
