Wearing a book, hooking him up

Another month passed, time slowly flowed by, and finally Su Jingyao's delivery day arrived.

This time when she gave birth, the eastern sky was just turning pale, dawn was breaking, and Jun Zechen was still attending the morning court.

Whether it was the experienced Nanny Lin, or Miaoyun, Miaoxia and the others, everyone's face was filled with nervousness.

Even though they knew that their mistress had been taken care of meticulously during her pregnancy, and that every aspect was extremely thoughtful, having a child was always extremely dangerous, like walking through the gates of hell, and they had no choice but to be careful.

Su Jingyao was lying in the delivery room. Nanny Lin had a solemn expression on her face. She stayed with her all the time, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Miaoyun originally planned to invite both Imperial Physician Jin and Imperial Physician Li to come together in case any unexpected situations occurred during the delivery process.

But when Miaoyun went to invite him, she found that Doctor Li had an upset stomach and was suffering from unbearable abdominal pain, so it was inconvenient for him to come.

Doctor Li himself did not expect that the Queen would suddenly attack so early in the morning. It happened so suddenly that he had no choice but to ask Doctor Jin to rush over to take care of her.

Miaoyun knew that Imperial Doctor Jin was a skilled doctor and was loyal to his master, so she trusted him very much.

When Imperial Physician Jin and Nanny Lin were both accompanying her master in the delivery room, Miaoyun finally felt relieved and went to the front court to invite His Majesty with peace of mind.

It will probably take some time for the lady to give birth, and His Majesty should have left the court by now.

I had just returned to the Qianqing Palace after court and was about to enjoy breakfast when Miaoyun hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the master has started giving birth." Miaoyun's voice was filled with anxiety.

Jun Zechen was stunned when he heard this. Although he already knew that she would give birth in the next few days, he still felt his heart tighten when he suddenly heard the news.

Jun Zechen quickly stood up and strode towards Kunning Palace.

When he arrived, the queen's muffled groans of pain could be heard from the delivery room.

Outside the delivery room, seven concubines were already waiting there.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." All the concubines saluted in unison.

Lin Miaoyin and Tang Suxi were both pregnant, but the Empress was giving birth, so they had to come even though they were pregnant.

However, the palace servants in Kunning Palace were quite sensible and brought stools to the two pregnant masters, while the other concubines could only stand aside and wait for the queen to give birth.

"Everyone, get up."

Jun Zechen's voice was still as calm as usual, and his face did not show the slightest panic, but the worry hidden in his heart could not deceive himself after all.

Ye Yaqin's eyes were complex and deep. She stared at the delivery room, revealing imperceptible excitement and anticipation.

Perhaps after today, the position of queen will be vacant.

When Ye Yaqin received her father's letter before, she was full of worries and didn't know how to plan a perfect plan to get rid of the queen.

But she didn't expect that God might really be on her side. There was actually a palace maid in Kunning Palace who was an enemy of the Su family.

One day, she happened to meet the palace maid in the grove. She was burning paper to commemorate her family, and her expression was sad and resentful.

Originally, Ye Yaqin just wanted to report this little maid for violating palace rules to the Queen, but unexpectedly she got an unexpected surprise.

Since this palace maid hated the queen and the Su family so much, she was even willing to sacrifice her life to kill the queen.

There would be no evidence by then, and Ye Yaqin did not leave any token except a packet of medicine for the palace maid. The queen was dead, and the blame would not be put to her anyway.

Ye Yaqin's gaze fell on His Majesty's majestic back. Now that the Queen is dead, will His Majesty be able to treat all the concubines in the harem fairly?

Jun Zechen frowned and stood outside the delivery room like a statue. He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually anxious inside.

"Why is the Queen's voice so soft?" Jun Zechen couldn't help but ask.

If Su Jingyao screamed loudly, he would feel sorry for her pain, but if she lost her voice, Jun Zechen would worry that she might have had an accident.

Anshun, who was standing by, bowed and replied: "Maybe she wanted to save some strength. The midwife didn't let the queen make loud noises. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Lin Miaoyin's eyes were a little dim.

Although His Majesty's face remained calm, she was always observant.

His Majesty unconsciously turned the fingers of the ring on his left hand and frowned from time to time, silently expressing his concern for the Queen.

She lowered her head slightly and gently stroked her belly which was not yet visible, feeling a sour feeling in her heart.

When I give birth, will Your Majesty be as nervous for her as you are for the Queen now?

Tang Suxi's belly is already showing, after all, she is already four months pregnant.

She had the lowest status among all the concubines, and only with the help of her children could she hope for promotion.

Therefore, she had been extremely cautious since she became pregnant. If she had the favor of His Majesty, that would be great. If not, as long as she had a child, she could survive in the harem.

In fact, she felt much more comfortable in the harem than at home.

Tang Suxi lowered her head with a satisfied smile on her lips.

The other concubines also had their own thoughts. Some had wandering eyes, while others pursed their lips tightly, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second passed slowly and heavily.

Su Jingyao's birth went relatively smoothly. An hour later, the clear and loud cry of a baby was finally heard.

Jun Zechen's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed. He subconsciously looked up at the sky. At this time, a red sun was rising, shining brightly.

Nanny Lin happily carried the prince out.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Queen has given birth to a prince!"

Nanny Lin's face was lit up with excitement and joy, and her smile seemed to be about to overflow.

"Good, good, good! The birth of my eldest son coincides with the rising sun. This is a sign of good fortune from heaven. My son will have a bright future, his wisdom will be as brilliant as the sun, and his kindness will be as warm as the sun."

Jun Zechen's voice was loud and heroic, full of the joy and pride of being a father for the first time.

The concubines behind him heard His Majesty praising his eldest son. Even if they were jealous, they dared not show it. They all congratulated him in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen, on the birth of your eldest son."

Afterwards, all the palace in Kunning Palace knelt down and shouted in unison: "Congratulations to your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen, on the birth of your eldest son."

The voices were loud and uniform, echoing in the hall.

Jun Zechen no longer suppressed his expression. With a broad smile on his face, he was about to go into the delivery room to see his queen.

Childbirth is so painful, she has always been delicate, and she must be in great pain now.

"It's not good, it's not good!"

Suddenly, Miaoyun stumbled out of the delivery room in panic, her face as pale as paper and her voice filled with extreme fear.

Nanny Lin frowned, the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she said sternly: "Today is a happy day, why not say something else!"

Miaoyun's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground, her voice trembling: "Your Majesty, the master has been poisoned!"

When Jun Zechen heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.

He pushed everyone aside and walked in hurriedly like the wind.

Su Jingyao, lying on the bed, had a pale face and her forehead was covered with tiny beads of sweat.

At this time, Doctor Jin was taking her pulse with a serious look on his face and a frown on his face.

"what happened!"

Jun Zechen's voice trembled, filled with uncontrollable anger and fear.

Doctor Jin lowered his head and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, a maid in Kunning Palace poisoned the tea that the Empress drank after giving birth. The poison was extremely fierce and instantly caused palpitations in the Empress after giving birth."

"I don't know what the poison is for a short time, so I can only give you an antidote pill to suppress your palpitations, but the poison keeps spreading in your body. Your Majesty..."

"Anshun, go call Doctor Hu!"

Jun Zechen roared, veins popping out on his forehead.

Doctor Hu is an expert in detoxification, so we can only hope that he can save the queen's life.

Su Jingyao now only has a faint trace of consciousness. She opened her eyes with difficulty, but her eyes have lost their former luster and are dull and lifeless.

Her hand trembled as she reached out to Jun Zechen.

Jun Zechen walked quickly towards her, tightly holding her soft and weak hand, his voice filled with endless panic.

"Don't be afraid, Jiaojiao. I won't let you die. You won't die!"

Su Jingyao shook her head weakly; every movement seemed so difficult.

"Your Majesty, you promised me that you would love Xingxing and protect him."

Her voice was as thin as a thread, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

"I won't agree! Jiaojiao is his mother, you will definitely be alive, and you can protect him as he grows up."

Su Jingyao suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes and sliding down her cheeks: "Please, promise me, please, protect him and love him."

Her eyes were pleading.

Jun Zechen couldn't bear to see her continue to be so sad, his lips trembled as he struggled to squeeze out the word "OK" from between his teeth.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand the struggles in the court. I just hope that Your Majesty can consider the face of me and Xingxing and not kill the Su family."

Su Jingyao took a breath every time she spoke a word.

"Xingxing needs someone to take care of him. Let my four personal maids and Nanny Lin take care of him, and I will feel at ease."

Her eyes were always fixed on Jun Zechen's face, and the earnestness in her eyes was heartbreaking.

Jun Zechen didn't want to listen to her words which sounded like her last words, but her voice was so gentle and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was full of deep pleading.

Jun Zechen could only nod mechanically and agree with her when she spoke.

"Your Majesty, if I die, please do not implicate innocent people. When a star is born, I only want to pray for the star, not to kill."

Su Jingyao's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and the hand that was holding Jun Zechen began to slowly loosen.

After a while, Su Jingyao slowly closed her eyes and her hands fell down weakly.

Jun Zechen hurriedly held her hand again, his voice trembling with despair.

Can't believe it.

"Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao, don't scare me."

"Where is the imperial physician!" Jun Zechen's roar was almost hoarse.

Doctor Hu, who happened to be at the door, heard His Majesty's roar and his body shook violently in an instant.

He walked in tremblingly, "Your humble servant pays respect to Your Majesty."

"Come and see the Queen."

Jun Zechen didn't dare to test Su Jingyao's breath at this moment. His heart refused to accept the cruel reality and would not allow such a thing to happen.

But when Doctor Hu walked up to the Queen and felt her already cold pulse, his whole body seemed to be struck by lightning. He fell down all of a sudden and then knelt on the ground in an instant.

"Your Majesty, the Queen has passed away."

Doctor Hu's voice was also trembling, and his head was buried deeply in the ground.

The pulse had stopped, and even if he had powerful detoxification skills, he could not save the patient.

Jun Zechen was so angry that he kicked Doctor Hu hard on the shoulder, and Doctor Hu fell to the ground.

"Quack! If the queen dies, everyone in the delivery room today will be buried with her!"

Jun Zechen's voice was angry and sad.

Everyone in the delivery room was like a frightened bird, "Your Majesty, calm down. Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Cries for mercy kept coming and going.

Miaoyun and the other three, as well as Nanny Lin, looked at their master's motionless body, their expressions dazed and their minds blank.

How could this be?

They had arranged everything so carefully, what could have gone wrong?
