Chapter 136 Inducing labor
Zhou Shiya didn't appreciate the Queen Mother's kindness at all.
But she maintained a gentle and virtuous look on her face and smiled gratefully at the Queen Mother.
Nanny Zhao helped the queen sit down slowly.
When she learned that she could not keep the child that Liu had promised, she couldn't help but tear up as she clutched her handkerchief.
"As a mother myself, I can empathize with you. Sister Liu must be in so much pain and despair right now. That child is almost three months old now, right? In another month or so, it will probably be fully formed..."
Having said this, she could no longer speak, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Liu Da Ying's scream of pain suddenly came from the inner hall: "Ah..."
"my child."
This hoarse voice made everyone in the hall's eyes turn red.
The Queen Mother's heart was suddenly gripped.
She fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, slowly closed her eyes, and said "Amitabha".
Concubine Wan wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Liu promised that this must be painful."
She was worried because she knew some medical skills, so she begged the empress dowager to let her go in and take a look.
The Queen Mother nodded in agreement.
Concubine Wan wiped her tears and went into the inner hall.
Concubine Rou's face turned pale and she lowered her head and sobbed.
"Sister Liu is so pitiful."
Yu Changzai couldn't stand steadily, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
Except for Concubine Shu and Zhou Lingge, and the confined Lady Li...all the other concubines are here.
Zhou Shiya glanced around the inner hall with red eyes, but didn't see Zhou Lingge. Her eyes flashed slightly.
Then, she sighed and choked, "It's so cruel..."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, Queen Mother, to thoroughly investigate this matter and find the murderer behind it. Give an explanation to Concubine Liu and the heir to the throne... Otherwise, if the murderer is not found, I will be filled with fear and anxiety day and night, always worried that someone will harm my child with Concubine Yu."
The word "Concubine Yu" successfully attracted the attention of the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother then realized that Zhou Lingge was not in the palace.
She couldn't help but frown: "Shu Fei is ill and bedridden...but Yu Guifei is not ill. How come she hasn't come yet after such a big thing happened?"
"The concubines in the harem should live in harmony. Liu promised that such a big thing happened, but she just sat back and watched, indifferent... She really has no sympathy or compassion at all."
Zhou Lingge was supported by Qiao'er. Just as she stepped over the high threshold of the palace, she heard the Queen Mother say these words... A dark light flashed in her eyes.
She came so late on purpose.
She deliberately wanted to arouse the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction and criticism towards her.
Now she is very satisfied with the result.
Zhou Lingge lowered her eyes, with a look of fear on her face, and walked in with great trepidation.
She knelt down before the Empress Dowager with a thud, "Please calm down, Empress Dowager. I didn't mean to be late...it's just...I've been feeling a little uncomfortable in my stomach, which is why I'm delayed."
Qin Feiling's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he had almost no hesitation.
Without saying a word, he stood up, walked to Zhou Lingge, and helped her up.
"You are pregnant. Didn't I tell you to exempt you from any kneeling rituals?"
"Also, your stomach is uncomfortable? Why is it uncomfortable?"
"Someone, ask Chang Hui to come out and quickly check the imperial concubine's pulse to see what's going on."
Concubine Rou said cautiously, "Doctor Chang is currently inducing labor for Concubine Liu. I'm afraid he can't spare the time..."
Qin Feiling's eyes were filled with anger: "Is it more important that Concubine Liu has an induced abortion, or that Concubine Yu is carrying the dragon fetus in her belly?"
"I don't care what he's doing, get him out of here immediately."
The palace maid responded quickly and ran into the inner hall.
Concubine Rou's face turned pale and she dared not say another word.
Zhou Shiya tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of jealousy.
Your Majesty, does he care so much about Zhou Lingge?
When she came in, His Majesty did not personally support her. But now His Majesty personally supported Zhou Lingge and asked the imperial physician Chang who induced the abortion for Liu to come out and take Zhou Lingge's pulse specifically?
She dressed herself up to look haggard and pale today, but His Majesty showed no concern for her. But when Zhou Lingge said she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, he mobilized such a large force.
Zhou Shiya felt depressed and couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her heart.
She really didn't want to admit that she was outdone by Zhou Lingge.
The Empress Dowager was somewhat dissatisfied, but she was also worried that something might happen to Concubine Yu's child.
Liu Da Ying's child is gone, and now the Queen and Concubine Yu's child is the top priority.
No matter what... she must ensure that these two royal heirs are born safely.
The Queen Mother had no choice but to suppress her dissatisfaction.
The emperor was allowed to show great courtesy to Concubine Yu.
Yes, very attentive.
Ever since Concubine Yu appeared, the emperor's eyes have been glued to her and he couldn't take them off.
He used to be indifferent to everything. Even when Liu promised that the child was gone, he just frowned. But now, when Concubine Yu said she had a stomachache, he acted as if he was facing a great enemy.
Like it or not...the contrast shouldn't be too obvious.
The empress dowager, out of sight, out of mind, slowly closed her eyes, not wanting to see the emperor's worthless and extremely attentive look at all.
Is this still her son who is calm and wise in the face of adversity?
She even suspected that her son had been bewitched by Concubine Yu and had lost his body and soul.
Qin Feiling gently helped Zhou Lingge sit down, and he looked at her with concern.
I haven't seen her for more than ten days, and at this moment I can no longer suppress my longing for her.
His eyes were glued to her, unwilling to look away for even a moment.
"Have you had enough rest these days? Have you eaten well? Has the child been bothering you?"
"Why do you look a little thinner? Why do you look so pale?"
"I feel uncomfortable in my stomach. Where is it uncomfortable? Is it painful?"
He couldn't wait to ask several questions in a row, but Zhou Lingge didn't answer any of them.
She just lowered her head and remained silent like a mute.
Qin Feiling felt a little impatient: "What do you mean by not answering? Is your stomach aching badly?"
"Doctor Chang, Chang Hui, get out here right now! I'll call you three times. If you don't come out, I'll chop off your head..."
Seeing that Qin Feiling was about to get angry, Zhou Lingge shook her head symbolically, "Don't worry, my stomach doesn't hurt..."
Chang Hui heard Qin Feiling's roar in the inner hall. He was scared to death and felt that his life was in danger.
Your Majesty seems to be crazy... No matter how urgent it is, can't you let him finish what Liu promised?
But trying to reason with the emperor won't work.
He almost crawled out of the inner hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, calm down..."
He pretended to kneel on the ground and apologize.
Qin Feiling anxiously grabbed his arm and dragged him in front of Zhou Lingge: "Stop talking nonsense and quickly take Concubine Yu's pulse. She's feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach..."
