Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"But some things cannot be solved by death." Ruyi felt that her heart had never been so cold.

"Our emperor had anticipated everything and had already blocked the princess's escape route.

It is said that the emperor had just come out of the Cining Palace that day and sent someone to convey a secret order to the princess, asking her to put state affairs first and filial piety to the empress dowager first, and not to commit suicide or die in vain.

Even if the princess cares about her chastity and doesn't want to marry again, she can only suffer on her own after receiving the emperor's order."

Hailan snorted coldly and shook her head in disdain. The golden tassels on her temples reflected the sunlight, emitting a dazzling and blinding light.

"Princess Duanshu is away, and the Queen Mother is inside. The mother and daughter are restraining each other and are also worried about each other.

The emperor really understands people's hearts and human nature. No matter what, they will have to obey and accept their fate in the end. Such scheming and planning are really frightening to hear. "

The two chatted for a while, and then they heard Sanbao coming hurriedly to report that something had happened in Jingyang Palace.

"What happened in Jingyang Palace again? Last time, Concubine Ling had a miscarriage. What happened this time?" Hai Lan asked impatiently with a frown.

San Bao wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "The eunuch who is guarding Concubine Cheng came to report that Concubine Cheng ate a bowl of purple ginseng chicken soup in the afternoon, and then she had abdominal pain. I'm afraid she's going to give birth prematurely."

Hai Lan stood up suddenly, puzzled, "Where did she get the purple ginseng? There are only a few of them even in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't remember giving them to Concubine Cheng?"

Ruyi hummed a yin-yang sound and said, "There are a lot of purple ginseng in the Cining Palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't allocate any, so it must have been given by the Queen Mother.

However, Concubine Cheng is still under house arrest, so drinking some chicken soup shouldn’t cause miscarriage.”

"Sister, you are pregnant and it is not convenient for you, so just have a good rest. I will go to Jingyang Palace first." Ye Xin tied a cloak on Hai Lan, and the two were about to go out.

Before leaving, Ruyi added quietly, "Hai Lan, whether Concubine Cheng gave birth prematurely or had a miscarriage, you must figure it out carefully. Don't let her take advantage of the opportunity to plot against you."

The Jingyang Palace was in chaos at this time.

When Hai Lan arrived, she saw Ning Da Ying standing in the middle of the yard, looking at a loss.

"Ning agreed, you live in the same palace with Concubine Cheng, what happened to her? Why did she get pregnant out of nowhere?"

Ning Da Ying seemed extremely frightened and waved her hands repeatedly, "Empress Yu, please understand, I know nothing.

Concubine Cheng has always lived alone in the main palace, and no one else is allowed to enter except the eunuchs and palace maids who guard her on a daily basis.

So far, I have never even seen Concubine Cheng. I really don’t know why Concubine Cheng would be angry.”

Ning Da Ying looked innocent, with tears in her eyes, as if she was frightened. Hai Lan comforted her and told her to stay in her room and not to come out unless necessary.

In the main hall, basins of blood were brought out. When the beaded curtain was opened, Hai Lan saw an unfamiliar imperial physician.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Concubine Yu."

Seeing the confusion in Hai Lan's eyes, Ye Xin rushed to explain, "My dear, because the Queen Mother is unwell, Doctor Qi has been transferred to the Cining Palace.

Imperial Doctor Jiang is in charge of the Empress's pregnancy and cannot be ordered around easily.

So the Imperial Hospital assigned this imperial physician Bao to take care of Concubine Cheng’s pregnancy.”

Hailan vaguely remembered that Ruyi had mentioned the name of this imperial physician before. She didn't care much about it and just asked about the situation inside.

Although the weather was still cold, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Doctor Bao's forehead.

"Empress Yu, the situation inside is not good. Empress Cheng's fetus is not stable to begin with, and she cannot be guaranteed to be born at full term.

In addition, today, she seemed to have been stimulated by something and drank a very hot ginseng soup. After several blessings, the child in Concubine Cheng's belly might not be saved.

The best plan now is to hasten the birth of the baby in her womb, otherwise Concubine Cheng’s life may be in danger.”

Since this matter concerns the royal heir, Hai Lan cannot take the initiative.

She ordered the eunuch Wu Fu beside her to go to the Yangxin Palace to bring the news to the emperor and ask for his decision.

On the one hand, he asked Imperial Physician Bao to treat Concubine Cheng as conservatively as possible, making sure to keep Concubine Cheng and the royal heir in her womb alive.

Doctor Bao agreed in a naive manner, but when he turned around, his eyes rolled and he wrote a prescription to replenish the blood and qi.

Although this prescription can save Concubine Cheng's life and protect her from death temporarily, it is nothing more than a temporary method of draining a person's energy and essence.

Moreover, after using this prescription, although Concubine Cheng's fetus will be much more stable, she will have to endure pain that is ten times worse than it is now.

Sure enough, not long after, Concubine Cheng's shrill screams were heard from inside, "Help me to induce labor! Where is the midwife? Help me to induce labor, I can't bear the pain! Ahhhh!"

Hai Lan's heart ached at the sound of Concubine Cheng's voice. "Doctor Bao, how is Concubine Cheng doing? Why did she scream even louder to me?"

Doctor Bao's brows relaxed, and he just told Hai Lan not to worry, "Madam Cheng's voice was loud and full of energy, which is enough to prove that my prescription is effective.

However, now is not the best time to induce labor. If the dragon fetus is forced to be born, I am afraid that although Concubine Cheng will suffer less pain, the dragon fetus may not be able to survive. "

Hai Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Then forget about her. What's most important is to protect the dragon fetus. This is Concubine Cheng's first child. I'm afraid she has never experienced this before. Women always feel pain during childbirth.

If it doesn't interfere, Doctor Bao can give her some pain-relieving soup to relieve the pain a little."

Doctor Bao shook his head repeatedly, "No, the ingredients in the pain-relieving soup are harmful to the dragon fetus. Concubine Cheng's fetus is already weak and premature. I dare not take the risk."

With Doctor Bao's words, Hai Lan no longer insisted, but ordered a eunuch to convey all the matters and Doctor Bao's medical instructions to the Yangxin Palace again.

The one who got the news at this time was Jinzhong, who was guarding the door and was bored.

In the Yangxin Palace, Wei Yanwan was playing the Yueqin for the emperor. After listening to Jinzhong's exaggerated story, the emperor felt that his interest was disturbed.

Wei Yanwan saw through the emperor's perfunctory attitude and said delicately, "Your Majesty, although I don't like Concubine Cheng's viciousness and she caused my princess to give birth prematurely, the heir is innocent after all. Your Majesty should go and see Concubine Cheng.

If Concubine Cheng is pregnant with a precious little prince, and Concubine Cheng can't bear the pain and insists on forcing the little prince to give birth, that would be bad."

Wei Yanwan's words directly touched the emperor's heart.

Anger flashed in the emperor's eyes, and his mind also emerged with the empress dowager's ferocious face when she scolded him, her adopted son, for the sake of her own daughter.

What the emperor hates most now is the cold and indifferent relationship between mother and son.

He put down the teacup in his hand heavily and shouted angrily, "In order to reduce the pain for yourself, you actually ignored the safety of the dragon fetus in your belly that was already seven months old. I have never seen such a vicious mother.

Jinzhong, go and convey my order. No matter what happens, you must prioritize protecting the dragon fetus!"
