Chapter 743: Either the medical skills are not good or he has bad intentions (35 rewards)
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Although Li Changde deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke just now, the emperor used a normal tone.
Naturally, everyone also knew about Concubine Hao's premature birth.
A nobleman is unimportant, but a royal heir is important.
However, there are so many imperial doctors and midwives in the palace that even if Your Majesty goes there, it will be of no use. Of course, state affairs are more important.
As soon as the royal heir is born, someone will be the first to report the good news to Your Majesty.
However, at this moment, many ministers could not help but think of the time when Concubine Chen gave birth last year. His Majesty left everyone behind and rushed to Zhongcui Palace in a hurry...
Of course, the treatment of a favored concubine and ordinary palace concubines is different.
The crowd did not find it strange, nor did they take it to heart. They continued, "Your Majesty, I think that as a great country like the Celestial Empire, how can we be afraid of the Huns?"
"We should defeat them this time and make them dare not invade Da Zhou again!"
Zhou Yuxi looked at his majestic father, his eyes full of admiration, and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with General Zhou's proposal! I am willing to lead the troops to fight against the Xiongnu!"
Another civil official frowned: "It's easy for General Zhou and General Zhou to say that, but since ancient times, the common people have suffered in wars..."
"The national treasury is not rich now. If we go to war with the Xiongnu, it will only increase the burden on the common people..."
"Therefore, I think we should advocate peace this time!"
Nangong Xuanyu listened to the ministers' arguments for a long time before he set his eyes on Gu Jinxiao: "What do you think, Lord Gu?"
Although Gu Jinxiao is the Minister of Rites and is not as familiar with the deployment of troops as the Zhou father and son, he is well aware of the national conditions of the Great Zhou.
Gu Jinxiao, wearing a scarlet official robe, stood in the center of the hall, her body tall and graceful, her voice as clear as the gurgling of a stream: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Xiongnu's repeated harassment of the Great Zhou border is a step-by-step test of the Great Zhou and your Majesty's bottom line."
"If the Great Zhou retreats again and again, the Xiongnu will only become more aggressive, which will also damage the reputation of the Great Zhou."
"After two years of rest and recuperation, the strength of the Great Zhou has recovered a lot. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to teach the Xiongnu a lesson and shock the world."
Many people did not expect that Lord Gu, who looked gentle and refined, was actually a proponent of war!
The smile in Nangong Xuanyu's eyes deepened.
Which young emperor does not have the ambition to shock the four countries and unify the world?
He knew that Lord Zhou and Lord Gu both understood him.
The gunpowder developed by Jiang Wange is almost ready...
……
On the way to Shuiyuexuan, Shen Zhinian's ceremonial procession met the little palace maid of Shuiyuexuan.
After she finished her greetings, she hurriedly said, "My Lady, our young mistress has had a miscarriage. Please go to Shuiyue Pavilion and take charge of the situation!"
Shen Zhinian was surprised that Concubine Hao would actually send someone to invite her.
It seems that what she said was right. After Concubine Hao gave birth prematurely, her trust in Concubine Liang was already in jeopardy.
"I am going to Shuiyuexuan now."
Concubine Liang didn't expect that when she arrived at Shuiyuexuan, she would unexpectedly meet Shen Zhinian's procession.
Changchun Palace and Shuiyuexuan are both in the West Six Palaces, while Zhongcui Palace is in the East Six Palaces. To get here from Zhongcui Palace, you have to go through the entire Imperial Garden, which is much farther than coming from Changchun Palace.
Concubine Chen arrived at the same time as her.
This means that Concubine Chen received the news of Concubine Hao's premature birth earlier than she did.
This discovery made Concubine Liang's heart sink, and she was worried that something unexpected might happen to today's plan.
But on the surface, Concubine Liang still had that gentle look, with a hint of worry between her brows, and she bowed respectfully to Shen Zhinian: "Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian got down from the sedan chair and looked down at Concubine Liang.
She knew that every time Concubine Liang bowed to her, she must be dissatisfied in her heart and wanted to replace her!
But so what?
Every time she saw her, Concubine Liang was still only respectful!
"No need to be polite."
Shen Zhinian said this calmly and walked inside.
Concubine Liang could only follow behind.
She and Doctor Xu looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Especially Doctor Xu, he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest!
The people of Shuiyuexuan only trust the people of Changchun Palace.
Originally, in the plan of Concubine Liang and him, Concubine Chen should not be aware of it at this time, and Concubine Liang should be in control of the situation.
The Imperial Concubine Chen actually came over as soon as possible, which was beyond the expectations of Imperial Doctor Xu.
However, at this point, there was no point in being afraid or worried, he could only proceed as planned.
In order to avoid being caught off guard when an accident happens, the palaces would usually start building delivery rooms when the concubines were seven or eight months pregnant.
Although Concubine Hao was not yet full-term, the delivery room was already ready.
When Concubine Liang and Shen Zhinian and their group came over, she had already been helped into the delivery room.
"It hurts...ah...it hurts so much...my stomach..."
Standing outside, one could hear Concubine Hao's cries of pain.
Concubine Liang frowned, feeling nervous and worried: "Women should not shout loudly during childbirth. If they use up all their strength in shouting, it will be dangerous if they have no strength left during childbirth."
"Especially since Sister Hao is still so weak..."
At this point, Concubine Liang looked at Doctor Xu and said hurriedly, "Doctor Xu, please go inside and wait, in case anything unexpected happens to Sister Hao."
Doctor Xu replied "Yes" and strode into the delivery room carrying a medicine box.
Of course, the imperial physician couldn’t watch the concubine give birth, so he just waited outside the screen and gave instructions to the midwife.
Concubine Liang clasped her hands together, her brows full of worry and distress, and she kept muttering: "May all the gods and Buddhas bless us, and make sure that sister Hao and her child are safe!"
Shen Zhinian watched this scene with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
It’s no wonder that Concubine Hao believed in Concubine Liang so much.
Even if it were her, without knowing the true identity of Concubine Liang, she would be deceived by her appearance as a bodhisattva.
Shen Zhinian certainly would not leave the life and death of Concubine Hao to Doctor Xu, so he said to Tang Luochuan behind him, "You go in and guard as well."
Concubine Liang frowned and said, "My Lady Concubine Chen, Doctor Xu has been taking care of Sister Hao's child. No one knows Sister Hao's condition better than him. He is already waiting inside. So there is no need to trouble Doctor Tang, right?"
Shen Zhinian sneered, and said in a sharp tone: "No one knows Concubine Hao's situation better than him? Then how come he doesn't know that Concubine Hao is going to give birth prematurely?!"
"In my opinion, Doctor Xu is either not a good doctor or has bad intentions! As the head of all the concubines, how can I trust him to be the sole person in charge of Concubine Hao's childbirth?"
If she had not dealt with Doctor Xu under such circumstances, it would have been easy for people to think that Shen Zhinian had bad intentions, so she took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. She would have ordered people to take Doctor Xu down long ago.
