Chapter 123
The imperial concubine listened quietly to everyone's voices, gently stroking her swollen belly with her palms, thoughtfully.
She didn't know whether Zhou Yijian's conflicting words between mother and son were reliable, but when she thought about the consequences of full-term delivery mentioned by Shen Ruzhou, she felt uneasy.
As a mother, it is natural to protect her child. If induction of labor can save him, then she is willing to take the risk.
After a long while, she finally looked at Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, let Princess Wucheng induce labor for my concubine."
Emperor Yong'an frowned and looked at the imperial concubine, "But..."
"My dear concubine, please don't be impulsive!" Zhou Yijian began to persuade the concubine again, with a sincere expression, "You have a delicate body, and you will not be able to bear a big cut on your body!"
"Ridiculous!" Shen Ruzhou snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Yijian with sharp eyes, "Luo Yunniang is also a woman, she can bear it, how can the imperial concubine not bear it? You keep saying that you can't induce labor, and you are so obstructive. What are your intentions? What do you think? If you kill the imperial concubine, will you still have an heir?!"
"The princess' words are serious, how dare a poor man do anything against the imperial concubine?" Zhou Yijian said quickly, "It's just the imperial concubine's body of a daughter, how can she be compared with a country woman?"
"Okay, stop talking!" The imperial concubine scolded lightly, panting slightly in her chest, and looked at Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, I have decided to let Princess Wucheng treat me."
Zhou Yijian's eyes turned cold and he turned to exchange a look with Mu Wanrong.
Emperor Yong'an looked solemn and finally said, "Then I'll listen to you."
He turned his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Ruzhou with a deep look, "I leave the imperial concubine and the dragon fetus to you. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless! But -"
He changed the topic and his voice became a little softer, "If you can successfully save the imperial concubine and her son, I will naturally not miss the reward. As I said before, I promise you a condition. Just ask for whatever you want."
Shen Ruzhou bowed and said, "Father, the emperor and the imperial concubine, please rest assured. I promise to do my best to ensure that mother and son are safe."
Finally getting the chance to treat the imperial concubine, she felt excited and turned to look at Bei Xiuyan.
This time there were constant ups and downs, but luckily she had him. She silently cast a grateful look at him, but Bei Xiuyan was still cold and indifferent.
At this time, Zhou Yijian said again: "Your Majesty, if you want to treat your concubine, I would also like to go in and have a look."
"You're not a doctor, what are you doing in there?" Lu Huaining looked at Zhou Yijian with hostility.
Zhou Yijian looked calm, "Pindao is still worried. If something goes wrong, maybe he can turn the tide."
Shen Ruzhou expected that Zhou Yi Jian was going to go in and act like a monster this time, so he said coldly: "Nothing will happen, I don't need to worry about it, Taoist Ling Xiao."
"That's the emperor's heir. What's wrong with the poor Taoist who wastes time on snacks?" Zhou Yijian looked seriously and raised his hands to Emperor Yong'an and said, "Your Majesty, in order to ensure everything is safe, let the poor Taoist take care of you."
The trick he showed just now showed that Emperor Yong'an still had some trust in Zhou Yijian, "That's it."
Shen Ruzhou's eyes darkened slightly, he gave Zhou Yijian a cold look, then turned around to give instructions for the next thing.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Mu Wanrong quietly walked to Zhou Yijian's side, took out a small bag of something from her sleeve, and stuffed it into Zhou Yijian's hand.
Shen Ruzhou arranged for people to clean up the house, and a group of palace maids and eunuchs slipped in to prepare.
"Prince Regent." Shen Ruzhou walked to Bei Xiuyan and deliberately lowered his voice, "I will go in to treat the imperial concubine later, and I want to trouble you to help me send Yun Niang back to my mansion."
After all, Luo Yunniang had a knife on her body and was a little weak, so she needed to take a good rest.
Thinking of her last life, although she successfully rescued Luo Yunniang's niece, the woman committed suicide six months later due to the sequelae. In order to ensure that Luo Yunniang would not have any sequelae and stay healthy, she had to take good care of her. It would be best to send her back home. .
The two were very close, and Bei Xiuyan's eyes fell on her without moving away, "Okay."
Shen Ruzhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Prince Regent."
She raised her eyes and saw Bei Xiuyan's deep eyes very close. Then she realized that she was too close to him and hurriedly moved away.
Xiao Chenyan saw this scene completely, and an evil fire suddenly burned up.
In public, Shen Ruzhou was so close to other men, yet she didn't take him as a serious husband seriously!
He was about to step forward and pull Shen Ruzhou over, but Mu Wanrong grabbed his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, thank you so much for interceding for Wanrong."
Mu Wanrong had a delicate face and a soft voice, "Wanrong is worried that the princess will get into trouble, but caring about her will lead to chaos. Your prince, you won't be angry with Wanrong, right?"
Xiao Chenyan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "No."
When he looked up again, Shen Ruzhou had already turned around to prepare things. His eyes darkened a bit, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
The treatment was about to begin, so the imperial concubine was inevitably a little nervous and called Nanny Li to get tea.
But Luo Yunniang stopped her with a voice, "Your Highness, please stop eating before the operation, and drink less water."
"Okay, okay." The imperial concubine knew that she had come from the past and agreed to her suggestions, but she was still flustered.
The inside was already packed, and several eunuchs came over to carry the imperial concubine inside.
Luo Yunniang was also taken away by the people who arranged the Beixiu Banquet.
Everyone was waiting in the Ming Room. The imperial concubine was lying on the bed in the Nishiji Room, with her hands clasped on her chest, taking deep breaths to calm her nerves.
Before Shen Ruzhou and the imperial doctor came in, Aunt Li also went out to get something. Zhou Yijian walked up to the imperial concubine Xiang and said with a worried look on her face: "My dear imperial concubine, from my humble opinion, this is going to be a disaster."
The imperial concubine frowned and glanced at him, "I have already decided, there is no need to say more."
After struggling for so long, she finally made up her mind to give birth to a child today.
Zhou Yijian just shook his head and sighed: "That woman's months are longer than the empress's, and her body is much stronger. It would have been easy for her to give birth, but I'm afraid it won't be so smooth for you."
The imperial concubine was a little displeased and said: "Shut up, stop cursing me! Again, be careful, I will chop your head off!"
"Pindao is thinking about you and the prince." Zhou Yijian took out a small bottle from his sleeve, "Empress, this is Pindao's special talisman water. Drinking it can keep your mother and son safe. Drink it now. "
The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.
Liang Chao had always believed in Taoism, and the Taoist priests did know some elixirs and prescriptions. Zhou Yijian's calculations just now were extremely accurate, and he was quite capable. The imperial concubine did not doubt his intentions, but could this thing be useful?
She squeezed the small bottle but didn't drink it.
Seeing her hesitation, Zhou Yijian encouraged again: "No matter how superb the princess's medical skills are, accidents will inevitably happen. If she has the protection of Sanqing Master, she will be safe."
The imperial concubine pursed her lips slightly and opened the bottle.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, just drink it for peace of mind.
She raised her head and drank it all in one breath...
