Chapter 749: The Queen's body is almost exhausted (128 million votes plus)
Hearing this, Ruoli felt completely relieved.
She looked outside and lowered her voice and said, "But Madam... If Madam Hao was alive, the Fifth Prince would not be given to someone else to raise. We must take this opportunity..."
Ruoli said as she wiped her neck: "Anyway, Concubine Hao had postpartum hemorrhage, so it's normal that she can't be saved. No one will suspect us."
"Hasn't the midwife you arranged before been used yet?"
Concubine Liang frowned: "Amitabha! I have never thought of killing anyone. Ruoli, how can you say such a thing?"
"Only God has the right to take away Sister Haopin's life. I cannot do such an evil thing."
Why should she interfere with a person who is destined to die and add to her own karma?
Maybe the fact that Concubine Hao was able to temporarily save her life was a pretext used by Concubine Chen to "fish".
Doctor Xu has been taken away. If the midwife did something bad and was discovered, she would never be able to explain herself.
Concubine Liang would not make such a low-level mistake.
Ruoli curled her lips and said, "I think Concubine Hao is a person of little luck. I don't know if she can survive this day."
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Shen Zhinian holds the fourth prince.
Concubine Sun sat next to her and talked to her: "...Although I didn't go to Shuiyue Pavilion last night, I heard from people in the palace about the thrilling delivery of Concubine Hao."
"When a woman gives birth, she is really walking through the gates of hell. If she is unlucky, she may end up with two dead bodies..."
Concerned with such an unlucky remark, Concubine Sun could only close the door and sigh.
Although she was talking about Concubine Hao, her face was a little pale and her expression was visibly nervous.
After all, Concubine Sun’s fetus is already seven and a half months old, and it won’t be long before she gives birth.
With the example of Concubine Hao standing before her, how could she not be afraid?
Shen Zhinian said in a gentle voice, "Everyone's physical condition and childbirth situation are different. Not all women who give birth will be like Concubine Hao."
"Look, when I gave birth to Ah Xu, wasn't it smooth?"
"Sister Sun, Imperial Doctor Tang and Nanny Lin both said that your pregnancy is in good condition and you insisted on going out for a walk. When you give birth, it will surely be as smooth as mine."
Hearing Shen Zhinian's firm voice, the panic in Sun Guiren's heart was dispelled a lot at once: "Yes, yes, yes! I've been with Sister Guifei Chen all day long. With the help of Sister Guifei and the Fourth Prince, giving birth to a child will definitely go smoothly!"
She couldn't scare herself anymore!
Shen Zhinian raised an eyebrow: "So, Sister Sun, have you been avoiding certain foods these days? Have you not been cheating on others?"
Concubine Sun's face suddenly turned red: "Sister Concubine Chen, I am not a three-year-old child anymore, how can I not even control my mouth..."
Shen Zhinian exposed her without giving her face: "Who was the person who always ate secretly under the covers and caused Doctor Tang to report this to His Majesty?"
Concubine Sun's face was so red that blood could drip out, and she repeatedly assured: "No! I really didn't cheat again!"
She also wanted both mother and child to be safe, and to continue to accompany her sister, Concubine Chen, and the Fourth Prince.
Zhu Er stood behind Concubine Sun, lowered her head and smiled, "My Lady Concubine Chen, the young lady's diet these days has indeed been strictly in accordance with Nanny Lin's arrangements. I am watching it."
Shen Zhinian nodded with satisfaction: "That's good."
Concubine Sun looked at her and smiled sweetly.
At this time, Xiao Mingzi came in from outside, and after paying his respects, he reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hao is awake."
Shen Zhinian still has something to say to Concubine Hao.
Sun Guiren stood up with Zhu'er's help and said with a smile: "Sister Guifei Chen, please go ahead and I will come back to talk to you tomorrow."
After she returned to the side hall, Shen Zhinian also got on the sedan chair and went to Shuiyue Pavilion.
The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were very efficient. They knew that Concubine Hao had given birth to the fifth prince, and her status would be different from now on. In just one morning, they moved all the things in the side hall to the main hall and decorated the main hall.
Seeing Shen Zhinian, the palace maids around Concubine Hao put down their work and bowed respectfully: "Your servant/servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian walked in without looking around.
He Yuanpan was mainly responsible for the Fifth Prince, and in the inner room only Tang Luochuan was taking Concubine Hao's pulse.
After her bulging belly deflated, Concubine Hao looked even more emaciated. She was so thin that her cheekbones were prominent, and her face was pale. She looked more like a skeleton than a living person...
The fact that Concubine Hao was favored at the time meant that even if she wasn't a stunning beauty, she was still beautiful in her own way. Anyone who saw her couldn't connect her current appearance with her past appearance...
Haopin raised her eyelids and looked at Shen Zhinian with a complicated look. She seemed touched, but also guilty: "I am not feeling well and cannot stand up to pay my respects to Her Majesty Chen Guifei. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me..."
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Zhinian got straight to the point and said, "Do you believe what I told you that night?"
At this point, how could Concubine Hao still not believe it?
"I know that Doctor Xu wants to harm me, but is he really...really ordered by Concubine Liang and the Queen?"
Given Concubine Hao's dependence on Concubine Liang, it is normal that she still holds out hope for her at this time.
Shen Zhinian said, "When you gave birth prematurely, you should have sent someone to inform His Majesty, right? But when I sent Xiao Mingzi to the Imperial Court, I didn't see anyone from your palace, but I saw Xiao Caizi beside Concubine Liang."
"Little Caizi looked calm and unhurried. From beginning to end, he never mentioned that you had a premature birth."
"If you go out and inquire about this matter, you will know whether what I said is true."
Chu'er immediately called Meng'er in to ask.
Meng'er didn't understand, so she just said truthfully: "...I did meet Eunuch Cai from Changchun Palace on the palace road. He said that the queen must be served by her, so he asked me to come back first and he would go and tell her the news for me."
"How...Eunuch Cai didn't report it to His Majesty, so how did His Majesty know about it?"
There was no need for Concubine Hao to verify what happened next.
Because she knew that there was no need for Concubine Chen to lie to her about something that could be easily verified.
So... Concubine Liang was not deceived, but... she was the one who ordered Imperial Physician Xu!
Concubine Hao lay on the bed and closed her eyes.
At this moment, she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart...
It's not anger, nor sadness, but more like... a calmness that hasn't yet reacted.
A tear fell from Concubine Hao's eyes. She opened her eyes again, looked at Tang Luochuan and asked, "Doctor Tang, I want to know...how long can I live?"
Tang Luochuan did not hide it: "The queen's body is almost exhausted, at most she has half a month left..."
