Chapter 430: Your Majesty, the Queen Has Given Birth (Additional Update for the 61th Vote)
But in the current situation, Mrs. Zheng had no other choice but to lower her head and wait quietly for the opportunity...
Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't know how much time had passed.
No other news came from the delivery room, but a guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad! Many poisonous snakes suddenly appeared in Chengqian Palace. Concubine De, her personal maid Qingdai, and many palace servants were bitten!"
Nangong Xuanyu's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Third Prince?!"
The guard said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the poisonous snake only appeared in the bedroom of Concubine De, and did not affect the Third Prince."
Nangong Xuanyu then breathed a sigh of relief inaudibly.
Concubine Liu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt much better.
That bitch Xiao Yueying really deserves her due punishment. She was bitten by a poisonous snake even though she stayed in her own bedroom without going out!
If Xiao Yueying died like this, the Third Prince would be hers!
Concubine Liu immediately gave Cuizhu a look.
Cuizhu took advantage of everyone's inattention and retreated quietly.
While Concubine Liu was happy, she couldn't help but think deeply, there must be something behind this matter, right?
As expected, after hearing the guards' report, some timid palace concubines were immediately frightened out of their wits!
"All right, where did the poisonous snake come from in the palace?"
"I've never heard of a concubine in the harem being bitten by a poisonous snake before!"
"Yes, even if we can't take care of some caves and bushes, every time when snakes, insects, rats and ants appear, there are special palace servants to spread medicine powder in the bedrooms and palace roads of each master. How could those unclean things get to Chengqian Palace?"
"..."
The guard shook his head: "This...I don't know for the time being."
A poisonous snake bite is no small matter. If it were any other time, Nangong Xuanyu would definitely rush over immediately and have someone conduct a thorough investigation.
However, now, his mind and eyes were filled with Concubine Rou who was giving birth, so he had no time to care about anything else.
"Let Su Quanye lead the investigation, and then order the imperial physician to do his best to treat Concubine De!"
The guard said "yes" and turned away.
Although everyone was curious about what happened in Chengqian Palace, they were more curious about whether Concubine Rou could successfully give birth to an heir. Was this baby a prince or a princess?
Therefore, not many people paid attention to Concubine De, whose life or death is now unknown.
The sky gradually darkened, and Shen Zhinian's muffled groans could be heard from the delivery room. The palace maids carried in basins of hot water, which turned into basins of bloody water.
Nangong Xuanyu was shocked and paced back and forth at the door of the delivery room: "It's been so long, why hasn't Concubine Rou given birth yet?!"
Concubine Liang advised gently, "Your Majesty, it takes longer for a woman to give birth to her first child. Sister Roufei has only been in for a few hours, it's still too early."
"Please be patient and wait."
She really hoped that Concubine Rou could give birth to a little prince smoothly.
Because for Concubine Liang, if she wants to reach the highest position in the harem, she must have a prince!
Although her body was fine, she had not been pregnant since giving birth to the eldest prince. It was unknown when she would get good news again.
If there is another prince in the palace, as long as the prince's mother disappears...
Nangong Xuanyu pursed his thin lips tightly and said nothing.
Even during the most thrilling moment when he was competing with his brothers for the throne, he had never been so nervous.
In the past, the emperor would never have thought that one day he would be worried and distressed because of a woman...
Concubine Liu looked up at the sky and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Your Majesty is so worried about Concubine Rou that he must have long forgotten how she risked her life to give birth to Yun'er for him...
At that time, His Majesty said to her that he would never let Qingqing down in this life!
Haha... haha... it turns out that Your Majesty’s “life” is so short.
Her choice was the right one!
Your Majesty will let me down, but power will not!
In the delivery room.
Nanny Lin kept reminding Shen Zhinian, "Madam, don't shout or scream. This will drain your energy. You won't have the strength to continue giving birth later."
"Yes! Take a deep breath and let it out slowly."
"That's it! Do it again. Breathe out, breathe in!"
"When the old slave says to use force, you use force."
"Yes! That's the rhythm! Don't be afraid, don't be nervous, the nanny is here..."
Shen Zhinian lost her biological mother when she was very young. In her heart, Nanny Lin was no different from her biological mother.
It must be said that the person who delivered the baby was Nanny Lin, who indeed relieved Shen Zhinian's anxiety and tension to the greatest extent.
The few strands of hair on her forehead were soaked with sweat, and her face was as pale as paper: "Nurse, it hurts! It really hurts! I can't stand it..."
Shen Zhinian was well aware of the pain and difficulty a woman experienced during childbirth, so in her previous life, even though she became a first-rank lady and enjoyed all the glory, she had never thought about having children.
In this life, besides having a prince by your side if you want to ascend the throne, there is another reason.
She wants a relative who is related to her by blood!
But she didn't expect that the pain during childbirth would be much greater than she imagined...
Nanny Lin has seen many such scenes, but helping the employer and helping her own "daughter" are different after all.
She was so distressed that tears fell, and she wiped them away hastily, comforting her: "Madam, it's almost there! We can see the end! Please hold on a little longer, and try harder!"
Shen Zhinian followed Nanny Lin's instructions, breathing rhythmically and exerting strength!
During her pregnancy, she often took walks and maintained a certain amount of exercise every day. As Tang Luochuan and Nanny Lin said, it really helped with childbirth.
Although it was Shen Zhinian's first child and she went through a lot of pain, it was much smoother than many women who gave birth for the first time.
finally--
She didn't know how long it had passed, but as Shen Zhinian exerted some force, she felt as if something had slipped out of her body.
As his strength was exhausted, Shen Zhinian gradually could not lift his eyelids. He could only hear the crying of the baby and the joyful voices of Nanny Lin, Handan and others!
"It's born!!! The Queen has given birth!!!"
A gentle smile appeared on Shen Zhinian's pale face, and he fell into a coma with peace of mind.
When she first became pregnant, Handan and the others prayed secretly that the queen was carrying twins, a boy and a girl, to bring good luck to the Great Zhou!
However, both Nanny Lin and Doctor Tang said that if a woman gave birth to twins for the first time, the probability of a difficult labor would be much greater than that of an ordinary pregnant woman.
Handan and the others were so frightened that they quickly told God to take back their prayers. The child could be born slowly, and the Queen's safety was more important than anything else!
Fortunately, when the empress was a few months pregnant, Imperial Physician Tang confirmed that she was carrying a dragon fetus, so everyone no longer had to worry.
Handan hurried out to announce the good news: "Your Majesty, the Queen has given birth!!! The Queen has safely given birth to a little prince!!!"
