[Quick Wear] Puhua Fairy is blessed with a long pregnancy

Chapter 40: Queen Tong Jia's Blessing of Pregnancy

Kunning Palace, after a night of tossing and turning, the sky was about to brighten.

Empress Hesheli finally gave birth to a stillborn baby with great difficulty.

It was eerily quiet in the delivery room at this moment.

Empress Hesheli endured the pain in her lower body and tried hard to hold on to her last bit of energy. Even though she knew it was a dead baby, she still asked persistently.

"Is it...a prince or...a princess?"

The voice that had been screaming in pain all night was hoarse and as if it had been cut by a saw, it was extremely harsh and unpleasant to the ear.

"Yes, it's the prince..."

The midwives were terrified at this point. They couldn't help feeling nauseous when they saw the dead babies that were covered in bruises and not even fully formed.

Especially the nanny who was holding the child, her hands were shaking like a sieve and she almost dropped the child.

Fortunately, the last bit of her rationality allowed her to calm down, but she still couldn't control her trembling voice.

Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, Empress Hesheli suddenly straightened her back by leaning against the bed, staring at her with wide eyes, and suddenly, she burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahahahahaha, it's actually the prince, the prince!"

Veins bulged on her forehead and she suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. Her whole body twitched violently and then she fainted.

"Master!" Bi Lan was so frightened that she didn't even have time to look at the dead baby. She anxiously asked the doctor, "Master, what happened?!"

The female doctor's hands were covered in blood and her face was full of panic. She hurried to take the patient's pulse. As soon as she felt the pulse, she became even more panicked. She looked at Bilan helplessly, her voice trembling so much that it almost broke.

"Madam, her pulse is... already like a dying lamp..." Her throat seemed to contain a razor blade, and she stammered with difficulty: "I can only... delay it as long as I can, but I can't hold on for more than three...three days..."

Bilan was shocked, and her legs suddenly went weak: "How could this happen?!"

The female doctor hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "...The fertility formula that the queen took before she became pregnant was too strong, and she did not rest well during pregnancy, which has seriously damaged her vitality..."

Bilan almost fainted. If she hadn't seen her master's dying face, she might not have been able to hold on.

She pinched her thighs hard and managed to hold on, uttering a few words with difficulty: "Go and invite His Majesty!"

Not a single concubine came outside the delivery room.

After all, they all knew that the queen was pregnant with a stillbirth. If it was a stillbirth, what was the point in going there? The queen later thought they were there to make a fool of themselves.

What's more, the Queen knew all this and still went to Chengqian Palace to frame Concubine Yi. That would have been fine, but the whole scene was witnessed by the Emperor with his own eyes. If she didn't die, who would?

Although this news was quickly banned by His Majesty, who only said that the Queen had a premature birth because she was accidentally bumped into by a palace maid on the road, everyone knew that this was a royal scandal that could not be spread, but everyone still talked about it in private.

If not, why did not the Emperor move when the Queen gave birth, and neither did the two above him.

Many people can't help but feel regretful and wonder why Empress Hesheli failed.

If she succeeded, not only would she be able to bring down Concubine Yi, but she would also be able to inflict heavy damage on her.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, palace maids were helping Kangxi put on his court robes.

At this moment, Li Dequan walked in with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Kunning Palace that the Queen has given birth to a stillborn baby."

"Buried."

Kangxi threw down two words coldly.

Li Dequan swallowed hard, fearing that he would anger Kangxi, but he couldn't stop because the news hadn't been passed on yet. He continued, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said that the Empress' condition is not good. I'm afraid it's not good."

Kangxi heard this, his eyes remained unchanged, even cold: "Let the imperial physician watch over him."

Having made such a big move, and knowing that her belly was too big to miscarry, she chose to take an unconventional approach and resorted to trickery, which ended up putting her life in jeopardy.

"Walk."

Kangxi straightened his cuffs and went straight to court.

……

Cheng Qiangong

Sheng Huan is having breakfast.

Ting Xin walked in from outside, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master, the queen gave birth to a stillborn baby."

Ting Lan, who was standing nearby, broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this, and was still terrified:

"Master, yesterday was so thrilling. If you hadn't sent Sister Tingqin to invite His Majesty, I would have been really scared..."

Sheng Huan heard this and smiled bitterly, seeming to be frightened by yesterday's situation:

"Don't mention this matter again, but you are right. Fortunately, His Majesty is here, otherwise my innocence would be in jeopardy."

No one doubted that Sheng Huan asked Tingqin to invite Kangxi yesterday. After all, no one could predict that the Queen would come.

No one in her palace suspected it, let alone others, or even Kangxi.

Thinking of this, Sheng Huan drew his eyelashes down to hide the dark light in his eyes.

……

Yongshou Palace

Concubine Zhao, who was claiming to be ill, got up early. She even sang a little ditty and was in a very good mood, changing into an elegant palace dress.

Now she is sitting in front of the dressing mirror, choosing jewelry with great interest.

Yiqiao walked in quickly, and before she could open her mouth, Concubine Zhao asked a question with deep meaning in her eyes and a big smile.

"How is the queen's legitimate son?"

Yiqiao came up quickly and lowered her voice: "Your Majesty has already ordered the burial." She paused, almost inaudible, and said: "Master, I'm afraid the Queen is in danger of death now."

After all, the queen was weak after giving birth, and she had taken enough medicine in the early stages, which almost drained her energy. The queen was probably in a bad condition at this time.

Fortunately, the medicine was stopped early. Even if the imperial physician had discovered it, it could only be a problem with the fertility medicine the queen was taking.

Concubine Zhao laughed out loud upon hearing this. She looked at herself in the mirror with an undisguised coldness in her eyes:

"She worked so hard, boasted of her chess prowess, and didn't take me seriously, but in the end, she still fell into my hands. It's a pity that I can't let her know, which makes it less fun..."

She sighed, with a condescending attitude: "The Queen is too stupid. She has a powerful weapon in her belly, but she couldn't bring down Concubine Yi. Tsk tsk, she actually let her escape..."

Yiqiao didn't dare to speak after hearing this.

Concubine Zhao ignored her. After a long while, she said softly, "Deal with Que'er properly. Don't leave any traces behind."

……

After Kangxi finished his court session and dealt with state affairs, he went to Shenghuan Palace in the afternoon.

"How are you? Are you still hurting anywhere?"

Sheng Huan shook his head with a slightly weak smile on his face: "The palace servants served me very well, yesterday..."

She paused as if she had thought of something, then quickly covered it up: "I just felt a little nauseous after eating something greasy. Imperial Doctor Wu also checked it out and prescribed a different diet for me."

She frowned and simply skipped over yesterday's incident, obviously not wanting to make him worry. Although she still looked cute, her eyes seemed darker.

Her pretending to be strong made Kangxi feel even more pity for her. It was as if a needle pricked somewhere in his heart. Knowing that she was probably thinking about yesterday and was still afraid, he sat down directly on the bed and forcefully pressed her into his arms.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." He rubbed her furry head, leaned in and kissed her, and was not shy about being intimate: "If there is anything in the future, just send someone to find me. Qing'er, I will be happy to find me."

"Well, cousin is so nice."

Sheng Huan nodded vigorously, moved his hands slightly, and gently wrapped them around his waist, burying his face directly in his arms, rubbing against his chest like a baby bird, being very obedient.

Seeing a smile on her lips, Kangxi felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face. He lowered his head slightly and kissed her lips a few times.

Sheng Huan's face flushed red and she pushed him, "Cousin, I haven't showered or washed my hair in a few days. It's ok for you to hug me, but why did you kiss me?"
