Chapter 391 Another one fell

The lights in Shoukang Palace were on all night.

The child was in a coma from morning till evening and never opened his eyes. The empress dowager was extremely anxious.

"This is not normal..."

The imperial doctors gathered together and looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had never encountered such a situation before. The child's pulse looked like a heart attack caused by anger, but it didn't seem to be entirely the case.

Logically, the little girl should have woken up long ago, but there was no movement at all.

"Empress Dowager, Doctor Yan said that we can try acupuncture." Li Shunfu relayed Doctor Yan's words to the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother frowned, she couldn't sleep the whole night. If Niu Niu was fine, the Queen Mother would not want others to give Niu Niu two injections.

But seeing that the little girl had been unconscious for such a long time and still showed no sign of waking up, the empress dowager felt extremely distressed just looking at her lying there with her eyes closed and her face pale.

Seeing that his master seemed unable to make a decision, Li Shunfu whispered, "Empress Dowager, this child has not eaten anything at noon or at night. What should we do if a child this young doesn't eat?"

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and said, "Forget it, let's let Doctor Yan try it first and give it two injections to see what the reaction is."

Doctor Yan and Niu Niu are old acquaintances. Today, the palace suddenly sent someone to Baiyun Town to invite him into the palace.

He originally thought that he would be treating the emperor and his concubines in the palace, but he didn't expect to see Niu Niu lying unconscious on the bed. He had been with Gu Zhao for several months, and he couldn't help but think in his heart that it was a good thing that his apprentice didn't know that his sister was sick.

If Gu Zhao knew about this, he would be extremely anxious and angry.

Old Doctor Yan thought again of the various problems that the Gu family had encountered during this period, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these were turbulent times.

Acupuncture to wake the patient up is a helpless method.

Doctor Yan just gave Niu Niu an injection as usual, just like he did to wake up other unconscious patients, but Niu Niu didn't respond at all.

"That shouldn't be the case. This is really weird."

A group of old doctors didn't sleep well the whole night, and they felt that the state of Niu Niu was extremely strange.

"If even acupuncture can't wake the patient up, I really don't know what to do." An imperial physician sighed.

A group of almost the best doctors in this dynasty gathered together, but they were unable to do anything about Niu Niu now.

Concubine Shun stayed up until late last night. Finally, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were afraid that something might have happened to her, so they urged her to return to the palace to rest. She came here again early this morning.

Seeing that Niuniu still had her eyes closed, she was extremely anxious. She said to the Queen Mother helplessly, "Your Highness, why don't you let the Gu family enter the palace, or let Niuniu leave the palace? After not eating for a day, I feel that most of the fat on her cheeks has been lost."

The empress dowager looked in the direction Concubine Shun was looking, and saw that Niuniu's originally chubby little face had become pointed after a day and a night of tossing and turning, and her heart ached.

Although she is not her biological child, she has raised her by her side and has long felt that there is no difference between her and her own granddaughter.

But the Queen Mother turned her head and her eyes fell on Concubine Shun's belly, and she felt very embarrassed. Doctor Yan listened to the conversation between the two and asked, "Queen Mother, did Niuniu have any problems before she fell into a coma?"

The Queen Mother reluctantly expressed Niuniu's request, and she also expressed her own difficulties: "In folk customs, people will at least wait until their own child is born before they are willing to let people go home. I am in a dilemma now. I feel sorry for Niuniu, but I am also worried that Concubine Shun will have a difficult pregnancy."

Doctor Yan stroked his beard and asked, "Since according to what you said, Concubine Shun's child was brought by Niuniu, did Niuniu deny that Concubine Shun was her adoptive mother?"

The Queen Mother shook her head, and Concubine Shun said, "Niuniu never recognized me as her adoptive mother. She always called me sister."

Doctor Yan went on to say, "The reason why people pray for children is that some parents may not have children in their destiny, but many children are destined to have brothers and sisters. This is why they can help couples who have not been able to conceive for a long time to have children."

Concubine Shun has always been a woman with simple thoughts. She was born beautiful, and her family wanted her to enter the palace to gain wealth and fame. Even if she was unwilling, she would agree after a few coaxings from her family.

After entering the palace, she was not careful and fell victim to the plot against by others. It was because of Niu Niu that she could live the good life she has now. It was even because of Niu Niu that she was able to become a concubine by becoming pregnant. She was grateful to Niu Niu and liked her very much.

In her opinion, the way to be good to someone is to make that person get what he or she wants. Now she tried every means to help Niu Niu realize her wish, even if this wish might hurt herself.

"Empress Dowager, since Niu Niu has never called me mother, the child in my belly should not be affected by Niu Niu's leaving the palace." Concubine Shun tried to persuade the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother thought she was too young, frowned and said, "Shun Fei, don't be willful."

Concubine Shun faced the Queen Mother's stern eyes. Although she was afraid, she still mustered up her courage and continued:
"Empress Dowager, Niuniu is unconscious now. She must be worried about her family. Maybe if we tell her that she can go home to be with her family, she will wake up. I have this child because of her blessing. If Niuniu remains unconscious, how can she still be blessed?"

Concubine Shun’s meaning was very clear. How could an unconscious Fuwa who couldn’t even protect himself still be called Fuwa?
But the Queen Mother was still unwilling to take such a big risk. After all, the child in Concubine Shun's belly might be the future master of the country.

Doctor Yan sighed and said, "Empress Dowager, we've boiled the medicine and given him acupuncture, but the child still hasn't woken up. It must be because he still has a knot in his heart."

Doctor Yan could only hint and did not dare to speak out as bluntly as Concubine Shun.

Just at this moment, Concubine Shun suddenly frowned, holding her stomach with a look of pain on her face.

"Your concubine... Your concubine's stomach hurts..."

Shun Fei's words immediately made the Queen Mother's expression change drastically.

"Quick! Check her pulse! Nothing can happen to my grandson!" the Queen Mother urged anxiously.

There were already many imperial doctors waiting in Shoukang Palace. Upon hearing this, they gathered together in the shortest possible time and took turns to examine Concubine Shun.

The imperial doctors were already helpless with Niu Niu's coma, and now Concubine Shun was suffering from unexplained stomachache, which made them even more confused.

Concubine Shun was pregnant with the dragon's fetus, and it was the only real pregnancy in the emperor's harem in all these years. Its importance was self-evident.

"Empress Shun, please tell me in detail what the pain in the abdomen feels like?" asked Doctor Yan.

The other imperial doctors also stared at Concubine Shun with serious faces.

"It feels like someone is pricking my stomach with a needle!" Concubine Shun said, holding her stomach.
