Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu waited in Yuqing Palace for a whole day, but Nanny Sun and Xia He had not returned yet.

She was worried, so she sent the eunuch to the South Three Office several times to check the news, and the result was that the concubine was still giving birth.

Wanyu became more and more anxious and worried as she waited.

When Yinreng returned from the Qianqing Palace, he saw the young concubine pacing back and forth in the main hall with a look of worry and anxiety on her face.

He asked the eunuch guarding the door, "What happened to the Crown Princess?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground and replied, "Concubine Mu suddenly gave birth prematurely, and the Crown Princess is a little worried."

Yinreng nodded, then stepped over the threshold and strode into the main hall.

He pulled Wanyu to sit on the cushion beside him.

"Giving birth for women is indeed extremely risky. If you are still reassured, I will send another imperial physician to the South Third Residence to check on the concubine's condition."

Wanyu shook her head and sighed.

"My second sister already has two imperial physicians. If I send another one, I'm afraid people will be dissatisfied."

"Besides, childbirth is the job of the midwife. The imperial physician can only assist. Even if there are more imperial physicians, it is meaningless."

Yinreng nodded, that was indeed the case.

He was just worried that the young lady was too anxious, so he thought of arranging another imperial physician to make her feel more at ease.

Those who can become imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau all have top-notch medical skills.

However, when a woman is giving birth, due to the differences between men and women, the imperial physician can actually not help much.

Only when a woman has difficulty giving birth, will she be prescribed a prescription for midwifery and postpartum care based on her pulse.

Or when a woman has a difficult delivery, they can promptly diagnose her pulse and prescribe medicine, use medicine to stabilize her body, and assist her in giving birth.

The person who really plays a big role when a woman gives birth is the midwife.

During childbirth, based on her own experience in delivering babies, the midwife can quickly stabilize the situation and help the mother give birth better when the fetus is in an abnormal position or the mother is exhausted.

Both of them understood this principle, so they did not mention the imperial physician any further.

However, by the time of dinner, Concubine Mu had not yet successfully given birth to the little prince.

Wanyu sat at the dining table, looking rather absent-minded.

From time to time, he would look towards the door to see if there were any palace servants reporting any news.

Seeing that she had only taken a few quick bites and had lost her appetite, Yinreng had no choice but to ask Li Jia Ma to remove the dining table.

He also ordered the kitchen staff to prepare some soup so that the Crown Princess could drink some to fill her stomach when she was hungry.

After dinner, Yinreng dealt with the government affairs at hand while accompanying the Crown Princess to wait for news from the Nansanso.

But there was no result.

By the time the two men were going to bed at midnight, no news had been sent back to Yuqing Palace from the South Third Office.

Yinreng put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, walked to the couch, and took the book from the young lady's hand.

"It's getting late, let's rest."

Wanyu hesitated and said, "I...I can't sleep."

"You go and rest first. I want to read for a while before going to sleep."

Yinreng said with a smile: "You were looking at this page half a quarter of an hour ago, and you are still looking at this page now."

"You haven't even entered the book, what are you reading?"

Wanyu felt a little embarrassed when he pointed it out.

Yinreng sighed, "Since you are so worried, then wait another half hour."

"If there is no news from the South Third Institute after half an hour, go and rest."

Wanyu responded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Yinreng: "You barely ate dinner, so I asked the kitchen staff to make some soup."

"Have some soup while we wait, okay?"

Wanyu nodded, "Yeah."

Yinreng asked Nanny Li Jia to bring the soup.

The two of them sat at the table on the kang, drinking the soup on the table bit by bit, and chatting to pass the time.

Half an hour passed quickly, but still no news came back.

Seeing that she could not escape, Wanyu had no choice but to let the palace servants help her wash and change clothes under Yinreng's stern gaze.

Yinreng saw that the young wife was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling of the tent with her big round eyes blinking.

He felt distressed and helpless, but also moved by her kindness.

He originally wanted to pin her down and punish her, but knowing how anxious she was at the moment, he had no choice but to hold her in his arms with heartache.

Even though she struggled hard, he didn't let go. He just stretched out his big palm and patted her back gently, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.

"Obedient."

"Close your eyes and sleep."

Wanyu was speechless at first because her hands and feet were tied, then she thought of her second sister who was still struggling to give birth to a child in bed. Then, under Yinreng's regular patting, even though she still had something on her mind, she gradually felt sleepy.

After an unknown amount of time, Yinreng felt the breathing of the person in his arms gradually stabilize, but he did not let go and continued to pat him gently from time to time.

Gradually, both of them fell asleep.

However, the matter of her second sister's childbirth was always a heavy stone hanging in Wanyu's heart.

As long as her second sister doesn't get married, the heavy stone in her heart will never fall to the ground.

Whatever you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

She did not sleep well that night.

Instead, I kept dreaming, and they were all bad dreams.

Sometimes there is a difficult birth and both mother and child die.

One moment it was a difficult birth, and then the mother died during childbirth.

After a while, she gave birth to another child who was born with a disease like the seventh prince Yinyou.

.......

Wanyu felt like she was going crazy from being tortured, but she couldn't get out of the dream.

The next morning, Yinreng woke up and saw the little wife in his arms, with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

Worried that she was feeling unwell, he wanted to gently pat her awake, but the person in his arms didn't respond.

So his hand movements became a little more urgent.

Finally woke the person up.

Wanyu suddenly woke up, lying on her side and taking several deep breaths.

Yinreng was so worried that he kept stroking her back.

"what happened?"

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Yinreng shouted, "Zhang Xi, go to the Imperial Hospital and ask for a doctor!"

Zhang Xi's voice rang out from outside the door. "Yeah."

Wanyu grabbed Yinreng's other hand and said anxiously in a low voice, "Don't."

Yinreng had no choice but to call the man back.

Wanyu looked at the worried person in front of her and smiled.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Just a few nightmares, that's all."

She suddenly asked nervously, "By the way, has anyone from Nansan sent back any news?"

Yinreng shook his head.

Wanyu sat up suddenly.

"It's been a day and a night, and my second sister hasn't given birth yet?"

In fact, Yinreng was also a little worried at this moment.

He was not worried about how the fourth concubine's childbirth would go.

It was just because of the other person's special condition that he was worried that this person would really have a difficult delivery and die.

He will never have the chance to learn about his past life.

Wanyu no longer cared about so many things at this time.

She looked at Yinreng and said anxiously, "I want to go to the South Third House to see it with my own eyes. Is that okay?"

Yinreng looked at her pitiful little eyes and nodded without thinking.

"Go."

"I'll take care of anything for you."

With Yinreng's support, Wanyu felt much more at ease.

After having a simple meal with Yinreng in Yuqing Palace, he led his men to the South Three Houses in a panic.
