Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Ruyi was still relatively calm. She ordered people to invite the imperial physician and also called the midwives to be on standby.

There was a panic in Chengqian Palace, and only Concubine Cheng seemed particularly abrupt and at a loss among the busy crowd.

How could this be?

Concubine Cheng originally wanted to retreat in order to advance, so she deliberately tolerated everything in front of Ruyi and Wei Yanwan and showed a very humble attitude.

In this way, no matter how dissatisfied the two of them were, they could not make things difficult for themselves because of Concubine Cheng's humble apology and the Empress Dowager's face.

The plan is good, but changes are faster.

Behind the emerald bead curtain embroidered with trumpet creeper branches and leaves are busy figures and the painful screams of a woman due to her impending childbirth.

On the other side, Concubine Cheng's eyes were fixed closely on the bead curtain.

Wei Yanwan just got her hand scalded by the tea and got a little frightened, how could she have a miscarriage and be going to have a premature birth?

Before Concubine Cheng could sort out her thoughts, the bead curtain was lifted up, revealing Ruyi's tense and serious face.

"Empress Cheng, the delivery room is bloody, and it is better for those who are not involved to stay away. Please come out with me."

With a nervous mood, Concubine Cheng clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand and followed Ruyi to the main hall to wait.

Because Wei Yanwan is still a noble lady, she cannot live in the main hall, and she is currently giving birth in a side hall.

Fortunately, the palace servants in Chengqian Palace were quite efficient. Although the main hall was not occupied, it was kept clean and tidy.

Ruyi sat at the head of the table, drinking tea calmly and waiting patiently. But Concubine Cheng was not so calm.

She looked towards the side hall with some worry, and asked the palace servants about the situation from time to time, as if she and Wei Yanwan were sisters with deep affection and loyalty.

Ruyi was annoyed by her various little actions, and the teacup in her hand knocked against the table crisply, which scared Concubine Cheng so much that she shrank unconsciously.

"Empress Cheng, your lady was originally still a long way from full term. If I hadn't argued with you today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have miscarried so suddenly."

The first thing Ruyi said was to put a big accusation on Concubine Cheng.

Concubine Cheng was not a fool who only cared about saying good things. At the moment, there were only her and Ruyi. No matter how dissatisfied she was, she forced herself to say yes again and again, showing the utmost submissiveness.

"Your Majesty's teaching is correct. After your lady gives birth, I will apologize to her sincerely, serve her tea and water, and do anything I can, just to ask for her forgiveness.

Your Majesty, please believe me. I sincerely hope that your pregnancy will be safe." At this point, Concubine Cheng even shed a hypocritical tear from the corner of her eye, she was really putting on a good show.

Ruyi felt a little bored when faced with Concubine Cheng's submissive attitude.

However, when it comes to who is better at pretending to be a good person, Ruyi has never lost.

"What you want to do is your business. You don't have to pick out nice things to say to me. But since you are so well-behaved, I will not deliberately embarrass you.

Although Yancao has committed a crime and the evidence is overwhelming, I will not sentence her to death for the sake of you and the Queen Mother. I will only detain her in the Ministry of Punishment.

If your noble lady's pregnancy is safe, then you can handle it. But if your noble lady's pregnancy is not good, Yan Cao's fate will be in jeopardy.

So, you'd better pray sincerely that nothing will happen to you, okay?"

Knowing that Yan Cao would not be executed immediately by Ruyi and that there was still room for improvement, Concubine Cheng felt a little comforted.

It seems that Ruyi is still afraid of the Queen Mother. She chose to rely on the Queen Mother, which is a wise move.

Concubine Cheng's mind was filled with confusion, and the smile on her lips became more and more sincere. "Of course, your majesty is blessed with great fortune and the protection of the ancestors. The little prince will be fine."

The baby in the belly is fine, but the situation about the child's mother is hard to say.

Concubine Cheng narrowed her eyes slightly.

Considering Wei Yanwan's feelings towards Concubine Feng and her hostility towards herself, if Yancao was handed over to Wei Yanwan, she would be tortured to death even if she was not executed immediately.

Since only one of Wei Yanwan and Yancao is destined to survive, that one must be Yancao.

Chengqian Palace was in turmoil for a long time.

When the emperor had finally finished dealing with government affairs and was supported by Jinzhong to get off the royal carriage, as he entered the palace, he heard a woman's sharp scream, followed by the loud cry of a baby.

"Oh, your daughter is born. Your Majesty, your daughter is born!" Jinzhong was overjoyed and congratulated the emperor repeatedly.

Before the emperor could even feel happy, the crying sound gradually became quieter.

"Is this my illusion? Why is the child's crying getting weaker and weaker?"

The emperor's face changed slightly, and Ruyi was also wondering, when she saw the midwife staggering out, kneeling on the ground, looking embarrassed.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, on the birth of a little princess.

It’s just that the little princess is a little weak… seems to be… having some difficulty breathing… the imperial physician is thinking of a solution inside…”

"Difficulty breathing? How could that happen?" Ruyi asked nervously.

The midwife's face turned even paler, she rubbed her hands nervously and replied tremblingly, "Your majesty's baby was born prematurely.

Plus, it’s more difficult for women to have their first child, so the birth process took a while..."

Ruyi glanced coldly into the palace.

Layers of curtains blocked the view and she couldn't really see what was going on inside, but Ruyi could already guess that someone must have tampered with it.

But at the moment, there was no time to figure out what had happened, as Doctor Lu ran out in a panic.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent and caused your lady to have a red spot after giving birth. I am afraid... I am afraid it is not good."

"What?" The emperor was already worried when he heard that the princess was weak. Now even Wei Yanwan herself was not well, so he could no longer care about anything else and walked quickly into the palace.

Doctor Lu followed behind and advised, "The delivery room is bloody, the emperor cannot go in."

Jinzhong stopped him with a venomous look in his eyes, "How brave are you to stop the emperor?"

Doctor Lu had never seen Jinzhong, who always had a smile on his face, behave in such a terrifying manner, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.

Then he heard Jin Zhong whispering in his ear with a fierce tone, "If anything happens to your Excellency, you will lose your official hat and your life."

The Emperor and Ruyi had already entered the palace one after the other. After Jinzhong had spoken harshly, he glared at Imperial Physician Lu and trotted after them.

Although it was a hot summer day, Doctor Lu felt like he was in an ice cellar.

Jinzhong actually sided with Wei Yanwan like this. So what did Jinzhong mean, or was it the emperor's intention?

Doctor Lu didn't dare to think too much about it. He swallowed and took a step back, as if he wanted to escape but couldn't.

"I am not afraid of your noble lady giving birth prematurely, so what are you afraid of?" Concubine Cheng's lazy voice floated from the side, but it unconsciously made Doctor Lu even more afraid.
