    Because the birth was a major event, the access control on West First Street was opened as an exception to facilitate the movement of palace people.  eThe popular novel Emperor Yuji has had three princesses for more than ten years. One of them died last year, and now there are still two.  Hope for his son was green-eyed, so Xi Guiren had high hopes for this baby. He sent the chief steward Tan Rui to keep an eye on it and report back to the emperor as soon as there was any good news.

    When Songyin arrived, the delivery room had already been decorated, and the nuns of Shang Palace were busy going in and out, which was quite orderly.  When Tan Rui saw her, he stepped forward and bowed, folded his hands and said, "I was shocked when the news came to me. The timing was wrong. It was supposed to be at the end of the month, so there was no reason to be so far in advance."

    Songyin listened to the sound through the window and agreed, "Who says it's not the case? Maybe it's the fetus. Has the imperial doctor seen it?"

    Tan Rui stretched out his fingers and scratched his scalp under the brim of his hat, "Look, the baby is said to be full term after the Dragon Boat Festival."

    She said, "That's it, don't worry." A nanny happened to come out and stopped to ask about the situation. She only said that it was early, and the first baby was born slowly, so she had to wait.  She turned around and rubbed her hands, "I don't understand this. I sent someone home to spread the word. At five o'clock, my grandmother will come in to cook. If you have anything to do before that, please ask Tan Zhangyin to take care of it for me."

    Tan Rui was not nervous and said with a smile: "Relax, this is the Queen's palace, there are people who can make up their own minds, so we can be happy."

    Songyin just remembered the queen and asked where she was. Tan Rui rushed to the delivery room and smiled.

    Songyin understood what he meant. After all, she was a queen with a high status. She was supposed to listen to the orders in the palace. It would be unseemly to accompany her this time.  But she was the mistress, so it was hard for everyone to say anything. Anyway, with her in charge, the rest of them were idle.  However, she was still worried. It was said that even if the child was born prematurely after more than eight months, he would still be able to survive. However, Prince Yu was calculating that the child might be in bad luck.  Deep down in her heart, she still supported the emperor. She only complained that he was under a low eaves and she couldn't make the decision.  If the child was really dead, she would have a hard time with her conscience. Now she could only hope for a miracle. The zedoary added to the medicine did not work. If the child was alive and a princess, then everyone would be happy.

    It's a pity that there is no such smooth sailing in the world. She stood in the light belt under the lantern with her sleeves rolled up. When she saw a little eunuch carrying a goat's horn lantern at the palace gate, followed by Feng Shoushan from Cining Palace, she knew there was no hope.  .  If it were just Prince Yu, it might not be that difficult to deal with, but with the support of the Queen Mother, the situation would be different.  The emperor's sorrow lies in the fact that his biological mother faces others. Just like a family, the hearts of the family are scattered and will fail sooner or later.  They are all born by themselves, and to be so partial, the women of the imperial family are really different from ordinary people.

    Feng Shoushan came to the front, swept his sleeves and beat Qianer, "Mr. Tong, has arrived early? I got a messenger from Lafayette and I came to see you. How are you now?"

    Although Songyin hated him, she couldn't offend him, so she had to say in a normal tone: "It won't be long before the attack happens, just wait!"

    Feng Shoushan struck up a conversation with Tan Rui again. He was startled and looked like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, showing hypocrisy to the core.  Read the full text of the latest chapter

    Songyin turned away, unwilling to listen to their nonsense, and turned around to let Eunuch Xia lead the way and wait in the duty room.  Read the full text of the latest chapter. Eunuch Xia served the tea and stood at the door to look outside. The painful screams of Noble Xi came from the Yilan Pavilion. He took a breath as if his teeth were sore, "It happens quickly, and it looks fierce."

    Songyin heard what he said and wanted to find out, "We said before that it was about twenty days early. I really didn't expect it."

    Eunuch Xia said yes, "The Queen was caught off guard, but luckily everything was ready I ate a cup of sweet jujube soup at night, and then she said she felt uncomfortable in her stomach. Unexpectedly, her amniotic fluid broke at midnight."

    Songyin didn't want to ask too many questions, so he only asked how the Master Xi was in good spirits. Eunuch Xia said she was fine, "It's just that the pain was so severe that she felt dizzy for a while. The Empress asked someone to prepare ginseng soup to cheer her up and help her recover."  I don¡¯t know what happened next.¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????¡¯ Even if the child fails, at least the mother can survive.  Songyin sat there, walking on wood.  I hate intrigues, but I can't help it. I have to deal with it when I'm in it.  Where is the peaceful world?  Where there are people there is chaos, as if you are drowning in water. You try your best to swim upstream, and when you emerge, you find that the sky is still gray. You can never get out unless you die.

    Time passed slowly, and there was a clock on the clock. She just looked at the two copper hands with her eyes and drank cup after cup of tea.  Finally, after the fourth watch, the days are getting longer after the beginning of summer. At three o'clock in the morning, crab shell green appears on the sky, and the entire Forbidden City is shrouded in the dim morning light.  She got up and went out to take a look. The lights in the Yilan Pavilion were brightly lit. Noble Lady Xi's voice could no longer be heard. Instead, she heard the midwife's shouts, cheering her up very passionately, "Come again, come again I see the top of my head, little master, please leave."  Sleep, come, come, come"

    She hurriedly stepped out,Rui Rui and Feng Shoushan stayed up for half the night, their eyes full of bloodshot eyes, standing at the foot of the steps with their sleeves hanging down, looking up at the window blankly.

    She asked: "Have you given birth?"

    Tan Rui said not yet, "but it will depend on the situation soon."

    Feng Shoushan counted the Buddhist beads in his hand very quickly, his fat and pale face was expressionless, and the string in his heart was tense, as if it would break as soon as he plucked it.

    Songyin stood with her hands folded. Suddenly the door opened and a nun ran out and called the imperial doctor in a panic.  The person on duty in the enclosure flew to the door, and the nun's voice changed when she told her to come in and have a look.  Songyin's scalp was numb, she took two steps forward and called out, "What's going on inside?"

    The nurse said with a sad face: "I'm pregnant, it's my brother. But her face was as suffocated as a purple eggplant, and she couldn't breathe or cry. The midwife spanked her buttocks, but she couldn't do it Little steward, look at that.  ¡­¡±

    "Go and have a look again. If you get the letter, come out and come back to me." Songyin ordered, but actually her heart dropped.  It's an elder brother Forget it, Prince Yu, God is really unfair.  She wanted to cry, but she didn't dare to cry, so she had to hold it back.  Not knowing what to do, I walked back and forth on the steps, listening to the noise inside.  She suddenly remembered that she was a woman and could go in. Just as she was about to take a step forward, several imperial doctors came out and looked at her with a dejected look. She said with a buzz in her head, "Brotherhow is it?"

    The imperial doctor shook his head and said, "It can't be relieved. The umbilical cord is black. The timing is wrong. The fingernails are not fully grown and are as thin as reed membranes. Please report it to Mr. Tong. You are incompetent because of your humble position."

    Songyin's anger was implicated in the imperial physician who prescribed the birth-inducing medicine to Noble Xi. She knew this, but she still had to follow the plan. She shouted: "Okay, how can you say that the baby is born?" She turned around and shouted.  Tan Zhangyin said, "I think something is fishy. Please report it to the emperor and listen to the emperor's instructions."

    Tan Rui took the order and ran out.  Feng Shoushan untied the knot between his brows, rubbed his waist, and exited the Chuxiu Palace.

    When it got daylight, the little eunuch took down the lantern with a long pole and blew it out. The palace was as quiet as ever.  Bangs on the long street were knocking loudly, and she heard the sound of the door mortars of the six east and west palaces turning, and a series of mournful screams were slowly dragged out.  The fierce battle in the Yilan Pavilion came to an end. After working in the middle of the night without success, the queen left in despair. The door of the side hall was open. Two maids came out carrying wooden barrels, and went up to the wall door together, one behind the other.

    Songyin did not enter the side hall because he did not dare to see Noble Xi and the elder brother who died young. As for how to deal with it, the emperor would always have news.  She thought that if she was a princess, maybe the matter would be over, but after all, she was her elder brother, so it was hard to predict how the emperor would vent his pain of losing his son.

    As expected, the situation has developed in the worst direction. The imperial commander came in person and swept in from the door with overwhelming wrath.  On the left and right are not only the eunuchs of the Shenxing Department, but also the imperial guards.  There are three guards in the Forbidden City, each of whom has his or her own jurisdiction. Rong Shi covers the area from the Third Palace to the Royal Garden, so if anything happens in the harem, he will definitely be there.  After entering the door and waving his hand, the guards dispersed and surrounded Chuxiu Palace.  Songyin felt timid, but she didn't think too much, so she knelt down to greet the driver and apologized first: "I am guilty of death."

    When a concubine gives birth to a child and the child dies, although she has nothing to do with it, since she is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she will be more or less involved.  The emperor did not enter the palace, but stood in the courtyard and asked sternly, while people knelt down in darkness.  The grandma who gave birth explained the situation after my brother was born, "The slaves were extremely careful, lest they violate the holy orders, but the little master was already dead after giving birth. The slaves tried all possible methods."  There is no way to save the day. The slaves are incompetent, so long live the Lord to punish them."

    "Who said it's full term?" The emperor looked over. The three imperial doctors were frightened and just knelt there sifting chaff.

    When life and death are at stake, who cares about who else?  The imperial doctor was kowtowing and replied: "To tell you what the emperor is saying, I and the other three people, one person records the file, one person feels the pulse, and one person dispenses the medicine The person who took the pulse was Assistant Liu. Mr. Liu claimed to be full term, but that was not the case when my brother was born.  It happened. Xi Guiren had labor pains during the period of Xu. His water broke at the third moment of Haizheng. Yinzheng Zihe drove off first and gave birth to a baby at the fifth watch. The baby's umbilical cord was black, his complexion was purplish, his fontanel was wide, his skin was thin and his hair was sparse, which showed that the baby was born before full term.  To.¡±

    The emperor was astonished. Why did he give birth? Everyone living in the Forbidden City knew that they were fighting for status!  For this honor, his good brother was buried, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the emperor who was looking forward to having a son.  No one could understand his despair. He was so filled with hatred that he almost wanted to slaughter the palace.  He gritted his teeth and asked Songyin, "You are a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I ask you, why didn't you know about such a thing?"

    Songyin also blamed himself, feeling that he had no face to defend himself, so he just bowed his head and kowtowed, "I neglected my duty, and I deserve death for my crime."

    The emperor scolded him bitterly, "Fool! You have been on duty for more than two years, but your prudence is not even 10% as good as yours! I want to catch the culprit, so I won't let you off easy."you.  Someone come!  "

    Songyin had known long ago that this matter had wide implications. After all, he was an elder brother, and she couldn't bear it even if she lost ten lives.  Besides, she was indeed involved. The emperor wanted to deal with it, but she had nothing to say.

    She was also a little discouraged after it was nothing more than death. There was no point in being afraid, so she just let it go.  She thought she was doomed, but she didn't expect that Rong Shi would stand up and plead for her.  She heard his calm voice and explained in a clear and coherent manner: "Please calm down, Mr. Tong. Although Mr. Tong has made mistakes, he has not been found guilty and there is still room for forgiveness. Mr. Long Live thinks, the little master in the palace  The birth of the child was all a secret conspiracy. If Mr. Tong knew about it, then the emperor must also know about it. After all, it is a serious crime to lose one's head. Who would take the risk? According to what I see, the top priority is to confirm whether it is true. Fang Zi  Where did it come from, where did the medicine dregs go? Long Live Lord, Shengming Zhuzhao, will not wrong anyone. Today, the Department of Punishment is also here, ordering them to conduct a strict investigation in private. The Tong Jia family has served the master for generations, and hopes that Long Live Lord will give him a chance.  , let Master Tong redeem his sins."

    After hearing this, the emperor slowly calmed down and thought about it carefully. The scandal in the inner court should not be made public.  Songyin was an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he was convicted for this. Everyone in the world would know that the concubines in the harem were fighting for power and the birth of the eldest brother. What dignity could he have as an emperor?  Besides, the bigger the trouble, the happier the onlookers will be. Why should he become the laughing stock of others after losing his beloved son?  With a long sigh, the mute eats Coptis chinensis, that's all.

    He closed his eyes and said he wanted to see the child. Jingqi presented the dead baby in swaddling clothes to the emperor. When he saw it, his face turned green. He waved his hand casually to let him be buried properly. The hatred in his heart was concentrated on the imperial doctor in front of him.  On the body, "You are the one who said it was the birth-inducing drug. Where did the birth-inducing medicine come from when the noble Lord Xi lives in the palace for a long time? I guess it must be one of you who flattered the master and harmed my elder brother. Who is it?  The idea, who gave you such courage!"

    The imperial doctors were so frightened that they could not say a word.  There is no way to ask questions at this time, and no one will admit it. The only way to get to the bottom of this is to go to the jail of the Criminal Division.  The emperor raised his hand feebly, "Throw the noble Xi to three places in the northeast, ban the queen's feet, and interrogate everyone in Chuxiu Palace one by one. If you can't find out" He kicked Song Yin and said, "I  I¡¯ll chop you up alive.¡±

    Songyin picked at the cracks in the bricks and answered. Since it was Prince Yu who set up the trap, there is certainly no reason that cannot be understood.  She just felt guilty and felt ashamed and resentful like a thief. This resentment could not be vented and could only rot in her stomach.

    The emperor left like a gust of wind. She couldn't get up from her knees, so Rong Shi came to help her and patted the dust on her knees.  She lowered her eyes and looked at the people prostrate on the ground. Her mind was empty and she didn't know what to do next.  It was Rong Shi who helped her and called Nie Si, "What are you waiting for? Take everyone away!"

    Only then did the Shenxing Division move into action, and quietly escorted dozens of people from Chuxiu Palace, along with Shouxi's imperial doctor, nanny, and grandma who admitted the child, into the corridor.

    The remaining guards were waiting, and Rong Shi asked, "Your Majesty Xi wants to send it to the three houses in the east. How are you going to prepare it?"

    Now is not the time to be in a daze, there are a lot of things waiting for her to do.  Songyin calmed down, glanced at Yilan Pavilion, and asked the eunuchs to move in. After all, he felt guilty, so he earnestly ordered: "Pay attention, and be gentle with your hands and feet." Then he turned back to Rongshi and said, "Thank you just now.  Without you, I might be in jail right now.¡±

    Rong Shi tilted his head and smiled mischievously, "It's like a human saying. Just think of me well. Don't be a snake or a scorpion when you see me next time. We are our own people after all. What do you think, sister?"  "
