The Legend of Zhen Huan Reborn: Overthrowing Zhen Huan to Become the Queen Mother

Suo Chun brought the spoon to Jiang Ruyin's lips and said, "Don't worry, my lady. I personally watched Doctor Chen prepare it."

Jiang Ruyin no longer had the strength to speak. She turned her head to reach for the soup bowl, and Suochun understood and handed it to her.

After taking a few big gulps of the bitter juice, a warm current flowed straight into my lower abdomen.

There were four old women, one holding Jiang Ruyin's hands and legs, one burying her head in the quilt from time to time to see what was going on, one constantly wiping with warm water, and one wiping and looking at the situation as if she didn't know what to do.

In fact, she was not trying to take advantage of the situation, and she was also very nervous at the moment.

Jiang Ruyin was about to give birth, and she was still afraid of hearing the question about the source of the medicine.

Shu Dong saw everything about the old woman, so he just stared at her and glanced at the other three people from time to time.

The old woman didn't even dare to raise her head. The other woman who saw the situation shouted happily, "The head is out!" This stimulated the old woman's mind back.

She gritted her teeth and whispered to the old woman, "Let me do it."

"Hey!" The old woman didn't think much about it and was about to retreat.

The woman lowered her head and pinched the bead on her earlobe. The bead was hollow! With just a little force, the black powder fell into her hand.

Shu Dong's eyes fixed, and he grabbed the woman's hand. Shu Dong's strength was incredible, and he instantly lifted the massive woman out. He then signaled with his eyes for someone to drag her away.

The old woman was so frightened that she fell to the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy on the spot.

Jiang Ruyin had just heard the good news, and before she could be happy, she felt a surge of anger in her heart, and she immediately lost some strength.

"Ouch, it's bleeding, so much blood!" an old woman screamed.

Jiang Ruyin lost strength and her vision became blurred.

"My lady! Open your mouth!" Suochun took the prepared ginseng slices and stuffed them directly into Jiang Ruyin's mouth.

The noise lasted from dusk till dawn the next day.

"Little brother is so cute." Shu Dong held the swaddled baby and looked at him lovingly. He then reached out and twirled the corner of Jiang Ruyin's quilt, muttering, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..."

Suo Chun watched over Jiang Ruyin, looking at the little prince eagerly, and murmured, "My young master, you are really having a hard time."

Chen Xun was still waiting outside, fearing that something might go wrong after Jiang Ruyin woke up.

Jingren Palace.

The Emperor sat in the main seat, swinging his beads. The Empress sat to the side, looking at Hua Fei with a smile, "It's snowing now, and the weather is getting even colder. I've had a headache, and I'm not able to help. I'll leave this matter to my younger sister. Thank you for your hard work."

Hua Fei didn't look at the emperor, but stared at him with a pair of affectionate eyes, saying, "I hold the power to assist in the management of the six palaces. This is my due. Working for the emperor is not tiring for me."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction and was about to say something else.

Jiang Fuhaitong preached, "Miss Fuqiu from Suiyuxuan is here."

The emperor thought, "Could it be that Concubine Fang is about to give birth? Please come in quickly."

Fu Qiu walked into the inner hall with a smile and bowed to the ground as soon as he came in. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Our young lady has given birth to a little prince. He was born at 1:05 AM."

The emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this and went straight to Shuiyuxuan.

The queen's smile froze when she heard that she had given birth. Now the emperor was heading straight for Sui Yuxuan, so she had no choice but to follow him.

The remaining concubines were either happy, jealous, or indifferent, but they had no choice but to follow.

Only Concubine Hua, with a dazed look on her face, followed after Songzhi reminded her.

The emperor and empress had their own sedan chairs. Concubine Hua always liked to ride in a sedan chair, which made it difficult for the other concubines to walk through most of the harem.

Noble Lady Fucha wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Suiyuxuan is so far away, and Noble Lady Fang is willing to stay here."

Concubine Qi pointed out, "You don't know, Concubine Fang has a good voice and loves to sing opera, so she doesn't mind no matter how far away she is."

The emperor arrived first and was already holding the little prince, caressing his fair little face lovingly.

When the Queen arrived, she saw Su Peisheng going out. "Your Highness, please come in. I will go to Shoukang Palace to announce the good news first."

The queen nodded reluctantly, then put on a perfect smile and walked into the room.

"The little prince is so adorable. He was so fair when he was born. He is totally different from my eldest prince who was wrinkled when he was born." The queen hadn't seen the baby in swaddling clothes for a long time, and she was secretly resentful of him. But now she also felt some pity for her son.

The emperor was delighted, but when he suddenly heard the name of his eldest son, he sighed inwardly and consoled the empress, saying, "Babies aren't nearly the same, yet they all call you Imperial Mother."

The queen felt a little warm in her heart and forced a smile.

Concubine Hua soon arrived. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the emperor and empress looking very affectionate, but her eyes were drawn to the baby. She couldn't help but frown, and her heart began to miss the child she had grown. If she had successfully given birth, it would have been as fair and cute as the Sixth Prince...

When the emperor saw Concubine Hua coming, he simply asked her to sit down and turned his attention back to the child, not noticing anything unusual about Concubine Hua.

Before the other concubines arrived, Chen Xun hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and knelt, saying, "Your Majesty, when Concubine Fang was giving birth, a woman played a trick on her. Concubine Fang was so angry that she immediately suffered a heavy hemorrhage. She finally gave birth to the little prince, and both mother and child are safe. However, I'm afraid you'll have a hard time having children in the future."

The emperor's face darkened when he heard this. "Where is that old woman?"

At this time, Shu Dong beside him said respectfully, "He has been locked up in the woodshed."

The emperor nodded and said, "Ask Su Peisheng to interrogate him personally. He will definitely not let the traitor get away with it." After saying that, he swept his sharp eyes over the two wives and concubines beside him. The queen's heart tightened when she saw him, but Concubine Hua had a sad expression and did not feel anything.

The Queen quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Fang has made great contributions to the royal family and should be rewarded."

The emperor's expression eased slightly, and he nodded, "That's right. The Sixth Prince is healthy and lovely, and Concubine Fang is injured. She deserves the position of concubine."

The Empress knew that Concubine Fang's status meant she couldn't ascend to a high position, and since she had difficulty conceiving, she was likely destined to be nothing more than a concubine. Therefore, she took the initiative to mention that, as for the Sixth Prince... it was common for children in the palace to not survive into adulthood.

Hua Fei suddenly asked, "Doctor Chen, if you hurt yourself during pregnancy, will it be difficult to get pregnant again?"

When the emperor saw her, he saw that Concubine Hua's eyes were red, obviously she was thinking of the child she shouldn't have had in the past.

His heart softened and he held Hua Fei's hand.

Concubine Hua sensed something and looked at the emperor with a forced smile, then looked at Chen Xun expectantly.

Chen Xun was startled, but he remained neither humble nor arrogant and said, "Replying to Empress Hua, this is unpredictable. Some people are healthy and can be safe even if they have a difficult birth, while others are weak and are born with difficulty in bearing children."
