Chapter 626: Empress Dowager Cheng is not worthy of talking about people
The midwife was so frightened that she trembled, "The queen is dead, she can't give birth unless she tries hard!"
Jiang Fenghua felt their pulses and necks again. When she touched Pan Nianru, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was she really dead?
She felt Zhang Jingjing's pulse again. It was still beating. She pinched her philtrum and shouted at her, "Open your eyes and take a look. If you want to die, give birth to your child first..."
The palace maid was Zhang Jingjing's confidant. Her eyes were swollen from crying. "Empress Jing, please wake up. Didn't you say you wanted to go back to Yuzhou? You can go home when you wake up. I will go back with you..."
Only then did Jiang Fenghua realize that she was the Zhang Jingjing that Nanny Wang had mentioned, the woman who entered the palace to become the emperor's concubine for the sake of the people of Yuzhou.
Nanny Wang told her everything. It turned out that she was Zhang Jingjing, and she was the one who was personally selected for Xie Shang to enter the palace. How could she be dying?
Jiang Fenghua held her hand and called her name. Zhang Jingjing's eyelids moved. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Fenghua clearly and smiled slightly, "Empress, you are back?"
"Zhang Jingjing, just hold on. As long as you give birth to the baby, you will survive. Believe me, you can survive. I have given birth to three children. Giving birth is actually not scary at all. If you can get through this stage, you will win."
"Don't comfort me, madam. My child and I don't belong here. I want to take him back to Yuzhou. Madam, I have one last request from you. Please send me back..."
The person I like is not the emperor, but the emperor was drunk that day and he mistook me for the queen. I have been holding these words in my heart for a long time. I have always wanted to explain to the queen, but the queen has never seen me. "
Jiang Fenghua had no impression of what she said. How could she not see her? Maybe it was because she left the palace.
Jiang Fenghua said, "I'm not missing you. Don't think too much. The emperor must like you. You are so brave and kind. You are a likable woman. You should talk less and work harder to give birth to the child." This was the only way she could comfort her.
"If the child can survive, please save him, Your Majesty. If neither you nor I can survive, please let him stay with me so that I can protect him in the underworld." Zhang Jingjing had already used up all her strength to say these words.
"No matter how stupid you talk, you can still survive." Jiang Fenghua said.
The midwife said, "Now I have no choice but to use scissors to cut it open... and force the baby out. If we delay any longer, both of them will be lost. Using my method, the baby at least has a chance of survival."
The maidservant said, "Please, Queen, save Concubine Jing and protect the emperor! The emperor already has so many heirs."
"Your Highness can't save the baby." The midwife said anxiously, "Your Highness's fetal position is not right to begin with, and you are having a miscarriage. Your cervix is also dilating slowly. Based on my experience, if I don't save the baby, neither you nor the baby will be saved."
Jiang Fenghua had never thought that one day she would face such a life-or-death dilemma. She shouted outside, "Is Xie Shang here? Go find him! His concubines are giving birth to his children. Go find the emperor."
She and Nanny Wang came from Kunning Palace and sent Aoxue to find the emperor, but no one showed up after a long time.
It was clearly him who did the wrong thing, so why should a woman bear all the pain for him? What on earth was going on at this tea party? Why did a healthy person fall down?
The midwife did not dare to use the scissors easily. With two queens giving birth together and such a big thing happening, they had no hope of survival. But when the queen came, they saw hope again. If they could save the royal heir, there might still be a chance of survival.
The midwives also have their own little schemes. They know that the royal heir is more important than adults. If the royal heir is saved, the empress dowager and the grand empress dowager will have no reason to kill them. But if the royal heir dies, they will have to be buried with him.
Jiang Fenghua was in great distress and said coldly, "Protect the Master."
After these words came out, the midwife was stunned, "Madam."
"As long as the child is taken out, the adults can live, right?" Jiang Fenghua said, "If Jingpin can be saved, I will forgive you."
"Whoever dares to harm the heir to the throne, I will exterminate all her nine clans." Empress Dowager Cheng didn't care about anything else after hearing the conversation between Jiang Fenghua and the midwife. "Jiang Fenghua, you dare to murder the heir to the throne, I will not forgive you."
She then turned to the midwife and said, "Save the children. If you can find a way to rescue both heirs, I will reward you handsomely."
"Jiang Fenghua, you have given birth to the most children in the palace. You are afraid that other concubines will give birth to heirs and pose a threat to your children. God is merciful, but how can you be so vicious that you want to kill the heirs?"
Jiang Fenghua's eyes flashed with coldness. "If I take a pair of scissors and cut off the Queen Mother's tongue, will the Queen Mother no longer have such a tongue? The Emperor said that the Queen Mother has no brains, and it turns out that she has no brains!"
"What did you say?" Empress Dowager Cheng said angrily, "No matter how much the emperor dotes on you, I am still the empress dowager. You are so presumptuous..."
Jiang Fenghua pushed her out the door without any courtesy, "Your Majesty, your mouth is only fit to eat shit, not to speak human words, get out."
Empress Dowager Cheng was so angry that her head hurt, "You..."
Zhang Jingjing said to the maid, "Save the child first, let the midwife save the child, I know my body..."
The midwife had no choice but to stuff a piece of cloth into Zhang Jingjing's mouth. "My queen, please bear with it for a moment. I will do my best to save you and the heir."
The midwife took a pair of scissors and cut her lower body a few times, then took out the baby. The baby's body had already turned purple. After cutting the umbilical cord, the midwife held the baby in front of Zhang Jingjing and said, "Madam Jingpin, it's a little princess."
The midwife patted the baby's butt, and the baby whimpered and cried twice.
Jiang Fenghua's gaze was not on the child, but on the blood of Zhang Jingjing that was all over the ground. Her eyes turned red instantly. The weather was too cold, and the blood seemed to solidify as it flowed out. She was so scared that her body trembled, and her teeth and lips could not help but tremble.
Zhang Jingjing's eyes were not fixed on the child, but looked in the direction of Jiang Fenghua. A faint smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said in a whisper: "My queen..."
Jiang Fenghua's tears flowed down her face as she murmured, "Zhang Jingjing."
She wasn't sure if they were friends, but when she looked at Zhang Jingjing's closed eyes, her heart ached.
Why is this so? If she had come with them to attend the Empress Dowager's tea-tasting party today, would they all have survived?
Nanny Wang said that she was very kind to the concubines in the harem and never treated them harshly, nor would she be jealous because of competing for favor. Xie Shang asked them to hide in their own palaces and not come out because he was afraid that she would be jealous and angry. How could it be all because of her?
Pan Nianru's child was never born and she suffocated to death.
Jiang Fenghua was shivering with cold. Why was this happening? What on earth had happened?
At this time, several imperial doctors came with medicine boxes on their backs. Jiang Fenghua heard that the doctors were still paying their respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother.
She walked out with fire in her eyes, "Aren't you the imperial physician? Why are you here only now?"
