Chapter 226 Dystocia
Chapter 226 Dystocia
It’s great to get a promotion and a raise, and I no longer have to live in Ziming Palace with others.
Xianxian showed proper respect to Fushun.
"Thank you, Master Fu."
"Your Majesty, you have wronged me."
Guanju Palace is the palace where favorite concubines of all dynasties lived. It is comparable to the Queen's Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace and Guanju Palace are located on the left and right of the Qinzheng Hall.
When Lipin was still a noble concubine, she once asked Chang Liu for the Guanju Palace.
It’s a pity that Chang Liu didn’t give it to her.
Because Guanju Palace was once the residence of the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother didn't want Concubine Li to show off her power by relying on Guanju Palace.
The news that the eldest prince had drowned and that Xianxian was pregnant and was promoted to a concubine and moved to the palace came back at the same time.
He just accompanied Chang Liu on a trip, but he was able to directly get the position of the mistress of a palace.
Concubine Zheng and Wen Changwan were both slightly stunned.
However, Concubine Zheng came back to her senses first and sighed, "Both of them entered the palace to serve the emperor. This Concubine Yi is really lucky."
"Half a year after entering the palace, she has become the head of a palace. Now that she is pregnant with the royal heir, she is even more precious."
"Lady Wen, you must build a good relationship with Concubine Yi. In the future, if she promotes you a little, you may be able to conceive an heir to the throne and have someone to rely on."
Royal heir?
Wen Changwan felt bitter inside. She was still a virgin, so how could she possibly conceive a royal heir?
Chang Liu did turn over her card, but that night Chang Liu didn't touch her at all.
The reason was that the second princess had just passed away, and Chang Liu had to consider the relationship between father and daughter.
Until now, Chang Liu has never turned over her sign again.
There was a deep meaning in Concubine Zheng's eyes.
"Your Majesty is so generous that he even gave her the Guanju Palace. I'm afraid she will be above me in the future."
Wen Changwan's heart was filled with shock and she quickly lowered her head and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty raised the Second Prince, so Concubine Yi cannot compare to your Majesty's good fortune."
Seeing that Wen Changwan did not reveal the slightest flaw, Concubine Zheng said that she was not in a hurry at all, and immediately waved her hand and asked her to go back first.
Wait until Wen Changwan's footsteps completely disappeared.
Concubine Zheng picked up the teacup and said with satisfaction.
"God is really helping my Second Prince. How can a lowly thing born to the daughter of the county magistrate Li be worthy of competing with my Second Prince for the position of Crown Prince?"
Liuli echoed, "Your Highness was born into a Duke's family, a legitimate daughter. How can she be compared to the Li family, who came from a lowly family?"
"If the young lady was not so young at the time, and His Majesty was concerned about her health, how could he have allowed Li to give birth to the eldest prince first?"
This Concubine Li is two years older than Concubine Zheng. When she first entered the palace, Concubine Li was sixteen, but Concubine Zheng was only fourteen.
One is to teach Chang Liu how to experience love for the first time, and the other is to help Chang Liu fight for power.
You must know that Duke Zheng represents the power of a noble family.
Concubine Zheng sneered.
"I have never bothered to compete with her. I just need to wait for her to get caught in her own trap."
She knew that Concubine Li was extremely stupid and there was no need for her to do anything.
At this time, people were coming in and out of Li Bin's palace, and the palace servants were carrying out basin after basin of blood.
The screams of Concubine Li in the room became weaker and weaker.
The imperial physician hurried out and knelt in front of Chang Liu.
"Your Majesty, the queen is in labor due to anger. If the baby cannot be born, I'm afraid her life will be in danger."
No matter how much Chang Liu hated Concubine Li, he still didn't want to see her die in childbirth.
He fiddled with his jade ring.
The child has been in labor for such a long time, and it is still unclear whether it can be saved, but it is obvious that Concubine Li still has a glimmer of hope.
Chang Liu ordered, "You must save Li Fei's life. You can give up the heir as a last resort."
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, Wei Chen understands."
Finally, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the imperial physician, Concubine Li gave birth to a little prince three months prematurely, but unfortunately the little prince died shortly after he was born.
When she heard that she had given birth to a little prince, Concubine Li's eyes were filled with anticipation.
As long as he still has the prince in his hands, His Majesty will definitely make peace with her...
But when she heard that the little prince had passed away, she held on despite having just given birth.
"Child... my little prince..."
"My queen, the little prince died at birth. Please accept my condolences."
Concubine Li rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Oh no, the queen is bleeding."
When Queen Wang heard the word "hemorrhage", she wished that Concubine Li would bleed to death.
Chang Liu outside the house remained silent until the little baby was brought out.
He carefully looked inside the cradle. The baby inside had a purple face and was silent.
Chang Liu withdrew his hand in disappointment, closed his eyes and sighed.
"Send it away and give it a proper burial."
After the imperial physician's rescue, Concubine Li luckily survived, but she would never be able to have children again.
Queen Wang said hypocritically, "Sister Lipin is really miserable. She just lost the eldest prince, and now she has lost the little prince."
"I hope my sister can do more good deeds in the future so that the two children can be reincarnated as soon as possible."
Chang Liu is not a fool, so he can naturally hear the hidden meaning.
The pity that had just arisen in his heart disappeared, and for some reason he thought of Xianxian who had just become pregnant.
He stood up and walked out, "Queen, I'll leave Lipin's matter to you. I'm going to Guanju Palace to see Yipin."
"Yes."
In Guanju Palace, Xianxian was leaning on the chaise longue to rest. It was not until Chang Liu touched her lower abdomen that she slowly opened her eyes.
"Your Majesty, why are you here? Aren't you with Lipin?"
Chang Liu caught a glimpse of the Sutra of Rebirth beside him.
"You are the only one in the palace who is kindhearted and sincerely prays for the children."
In the past, Chang Liu felt that as an emperor, it was normal for him to be romantic and amorous. Since ancient times, emperors have had three thousand beauties, so how could he avoid that?
No matter how many women he has, he will never give up his heart.
But he met Shen Zhiyi, who was cold, holy and well versed in Buddhist philosophy. It seemed that apart from those Buddhist scriptures, no one else could catch her eyes.
All the concubines in the palace greeted him with smiles, but he only wanted Shen Zhiyi's smile.
Chang Liu himself was shocked that he had remained a virgin for her.
Since the two of them first made love, he never visited other concubines.
Even if you flip over these people's names, they are just chatting under the covers.
Xianxian could see that Chang Liu was absent-minded and depressed.
She sat up straight and held Chang Liu's hand.
"I know Your Majesty is very sad, but the dead are gone. Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, so you should live in the present moment."
Chang Liu felt very happy when faced with Xianxian's comfort.
During the past six months, apart from tenderness in bed, she was insatiable like a goblin.
But whenever she leaves the bed, she becomes a proud fairy again.
Sometimes Chang Liu couldn't help thinking that he might not be as important as that string of beautiful Buddhist beads.
But now Xianxian is willing to comfort herself, Chang Liu thought to himself that she still cares about me.
Chang Liu forced himself to suppress the corners of his mouth and leaned his head against Xianxian's arms.
"Zhizhi, I'm so sad."
How could Xianxian not see that the other party was acting?
But she still hugged the other person gently and coaxed him.
"Your Majesty, you still have me, and the baby in my belly. You can relax."
"It's great that I have a branch."
