Empress Fenghua

Chapter 691

In the middle of the night, Jingxian Palace.

Cheng Gong, dressed in homely clothes, walked in cautiously. The graceful Buddhist hall was dimly lit.Seeing Chenggong walking in, Wanrong frowned, feeling a little uneasy and trembling in her heart.

"Ma'am, are you ready?" Cheng Gong's eyes were sharp, "If you can't do it, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."

Wanrong sighed softly, "When will we do it?"

"Just a few days! The matter ahead has been arranged by the old minister. If Madam can follow the plan, nothing will go wrong!" Cheng Gong frowned, "But the emperor must not let the emperor know about this matter."

Wanrong sneered, "The emperor is probably in the Hengwu Palace for a moment of spring night, how would he know this? Tomorrow, at the ceremony in the harem, I will do it."

"Okay, everything depends on Madam!"

Wanrong held the bag of things in her palm, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, but her whole body was trembling.Chunzhu sent Mr. Cheng away and returned to the house. Seeing Wanrong's pale face, he comforted him, "Madam, don't worry. Mr. Cheng has already made arrangements before and after the event. As long as you follow the plan, there will be no problems. You are also doing this for the sake of the country." For the sake of Sheji, it is for the good of the emperor, the emperor will understand!"

Wanrong sneered with tears shining, "I've done this kind of thing countless times, but I still feel scared. Do you think I deserve to die?"

"What nonsense is your lady talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Recently, I always feel that countless shadows can appear in my dreams. It's really scary." Wanrong raised her chin and sighed, "What a crime!"

Hengwang Mansion.

"I'm going to see the imperial concubine in a while. This dress must be worn properly, and there must be no mistakes." Lei Lei said with a smile, "I don't know if the imperial concubine can laugh at me when she sees me like this."

"What's the joke, you are pregnant, who doesn't like this?" Yuheng frowned, "I said I don't want you to go, but you still want to go, so you can't move when you are pregnant, so you ran to find me. What is that troublesome thing? If the ice and snow fall and touch it, it will be bad!"

"Yes!" Lei Lei smiled helplessly, "It's a pity that we are in the emperor's house, and we must abide by some rules. I, Princess Heng, have already made people spit on me. Could it be that this time all the wives are going to pay homage to the concubine? Can you go?"

The imperial concubine's status is different from that of ordinary concubines, so she naturally wants to go. Leilei doesn't want to embarrass Yuheng, and she really thinks that she should go and communicate with them.After all, I will always spend time with them every year in the future, and I can't always let Yuheng protect me.

Lei Lei smiled brightly, exuding the brilliance of motherhood all over her body, "Don't worry, I also heard that the concubine is just a 16-year-old girl with a pure heart, far safer than those people. What's more I'm just Princess Heng, not someone from the harem, what will she do to make things difficult for me?"

Yuheng sighed, "I'm going to give birth soon, I'm really worried..." Yuheng supported her stomach, feeling uneasy.

Hengwu Palace.

The potbellied Princess Heng, Leilei, was about to kneel down, but was helped up by Ruan Siying.

"Concubine Heng is pregnant, so you don't need to be polite!" Ruan Siying smiled slightly, "Courtesy can be done at any time, as long as you have the heart, you can't have a child all the time. This is a gift from God, you must cherish it. .”

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine!" Lei Lei sat aside with a smile, feeling a little fond of Ruan Siying.

"The concubine is really considerate. Concubine Heng is giving birth soon, right?" Bai Qiang greeted with a smile, "Does the concubine like boys or girls?"

Lei Lei smiled shyly, "It's all good!"

"What about the lord?"

"all good!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.

Zhao Yu put down the teacup in his hand, "How is Princess Heng's health recently? Is it okay? Pregnancy is the most painful thing, and it's really not easy for the princess. This is also the first child of our Xiliang clan's close branch!"

Lei Lei nodded, "The emperor has only one younger brother, King Heng, and the two brothers love each other dearly. The emperor has also asked many times if the child is well. The concubine is very grateful, but today is indeed a bit difficult. I don't know why. I always feel chills in my lower abdomen, and there is always a pinprick sensation."

"Oh?" Ruan Siying couldn't help being taken aback, a doubt flashed in her eyes, "Did you see the imperial doctor?"

"Not yet, the concubine doesn't care much about it as it's a trivial matter."

"You should see the imperial doctor. If there is anything wrong, it will be bad!" Ruan Siying hurriedly called Ododa to go to the imperial doctor, and then ordered someone to bring the warming soup she had prepared, " This is the soup that Bengong takes every day. It tastes sweet and nourishing, and it is very good for children. Bengong has a little understanding of medical theory, although it is not the same as that of Central Plains, it is also helpful."

Leilei accepted it with some embarrassment, "Thank you, Princess!"

Lei Lei took a few sips and put the bowl on the table, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

With a snap, the bowl fell to the ground, Lei Lei's complexion was pale, and a trace of bright red flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Princess, what's wrong with you? Concubine?" The servant girl behind her was terrified and knelt on the ground in fright.

Ruan Siying was also frightened by the sudden situation, and froze in place for a moment.Bai Qiang stepped forward to support Lei Lei who fell on the ground, "Princess Heng, how do you feel? Quick! Call the imperial doctor!"

"She is poisoned!" Ruan Siying had just finished speaking.

Wanrong looked back sharply, "Imperial Concubine, how could you murder Princess Heng's child? Princess Heng has just finished drinking your soup, and she has become like this."

Ododa was bringing the imperial doctor, Yuheng and Xiliang Wuyan also followed behind, seeing this scene, my heart was shocked.

"Quick! Imperial doctor!"

On the bed, Lei Lei was lying on it weakly, her high belly made people feel terrible.That gloomy face gave off a feeling of lifelessness, Yu Heng held her hand anxiously, "Leilei, how are you?"

It's a pity that Lei Lei couldn't answer him at this moment, she opened her mouth with difficulty, "Save, save the child..."

"Don't worry, both you and the child will be fine!"

Outside, the people in the room knelt on the ground, the imperial doctor knelt on the ground tremblingly, Xiliang glanced at him silently and sternly.

"So Princess Heng is hopeless?"

The imperial doctor nodded tremblingly, "According to Weichen's medical skills, it is impossible to undo the poison. Even if it is untied, it may be too late. The only way now is to take a child by caesarean section, or use mugwort leaves to give birth. Maybe the child will be born." She will still be alive. But according to the current body of Princess Heng, I'm afraid she won't have the strength to give birth to a child."

"Seper section?" Xiliang frowned silently, "How could King Heng agree to such cruelty?"

"Then the only option is to give birth, and I ask the emperor to make a quick decision, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep the child!"

Xiliang came to the inner room without a word, and said a few words to Lei Lei, Lei Lei raised the corners of her mouth and smiled bleakly, "Your Majesty, this concubine can do it, let the imperial doctor prepare it for this concubine! This concubine wants to give birth to this child." !"

Xiliang glanced at Yuheng silently, and nodded, "I'll tell them to prepare now!"

There was no sound from Leilei in the room, only the urging and urgency of the midwife.Yuheng's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he was sitting on the side of the bed looking at Leilei's paler and paler face, feeling ashamed.He could feel that Leilei's hand was getting colder and colder, gradually losing its temperature...

Xiliang Wuyan frowned outside, "Say, what's going on? Princess Heng was fine when she entered the palace today, why is she in such a state now? If I can't explain the reason, I will punish Heng Wugong was razed to the ground!"

Zhao Yu glanced at Wanrong, then turned his eyes slightly, "Your Majesty, the concubine and others are chatting with Princess Heng. Princess Heng said that she has been feeling unwell recently, with intermittent coldness in her lower abdomen and a feeling of needle pricks. Give Princess Heng a bowl of soup, and after taking a few sips, Princess Heng's mouth will bleed!"

"What soup?"

Ruan Siying frowned, "It's the sweet soup that my concubine usually takes on a daily basis, with some cold-dispelling ingredients added, it doesn't do any harm."

"In this case, why did Princess Heng get poisoned after drinking it?" Wanrong looked sad, "It's true that the princess drank this soup on weekdays, but the soup served to Princess Heng today is still without any additions?" ?”

"You mean that this palace intends to harm Princess Heng?" Ruan Siying sneered, "this is the first time this palace has seen Princess Heng today, what reason do you have to harm her?"

"Just because you are the imperial concubine!" Wanrong looked calmly, "When Mrs. Chun said that this child is the first child of the nearby branch of Xiliang, a trace of hatred and jealousy clearly flashed in your eyes. Prince, your status is comparable to that of a queen, and it is impenetrable. There are rumors in this palace that the emperor will pass on the throne to his son, I think you must have heard of it, right?"

Ruan Siying sneered, "Mrs. Ru, you are really thoughtful, you even thought about what I didn't think of, I should really thank you!"
