Chapter 625: Immoral Things
Jiang Fenghua also followed Nanny Wang to Shoukang Palace. As soon as they arrived at Shoukang Palace, they heard a midwife shouting, "The fetus in Concubine Pan's belly is too big to be delivered. It's a difficult birth. She's bleeding a lot. Call the imperial physician quickly!"
Another maid also shouted: "Empress Jing is also exhausted, has the imperial physician arrived?"
"Hurry up, some people come! Over here..."
"What are you doing over there? Hurry up, Concubine Jieyu is dying..."
"Empress Jing has fainted..."
Jiang Fenghua stood in the crowd and saw the palace maids and eunuchs running around busy. Zhang Jingjing and Pan Nianru were fine before, but something happened when they arrived at the Empress Dowager's banquet.
She wanted to put aside the things that Xie Shang had hidden from her for the time being, but she didn't expect to face such a difficult matter as soon as she entered the palace.
It's really not easy to be the Queen of the Zhou Dynasty. No wonder Lin Yu took her out of the palace.
Nanny Wang had only heard that something had happened in Shoukang Palace, and didn't know how serious it was. She said softly, "When the queen was in charge of the harem, she was most afraid of someone murdering the heir to the throne. Now, this has happened just after the queen returned to the palace. Fortunately, the queen didn't take the initiative to drink tea in Shoukang Palace. It was Concubine Zhu who frightened the two queens."
Jiang Fenghua walked up to Zhu Zhenzhen and saw that she was being detained, and Nanny Liu was also under control.
When Aunt Liu saw the Empress coming, she said, "Queen, help me, it wasn't my Empress who harmed them. Please, Queen, we must see clearly. My Empress had clearly calmed down at that time."
The Empress Dowager was furious. "Poisonous women, how could you be so cruel to murder the heir to the throne at my banquet? Everyone present saw that it was Concubine Zhu who had been staring at Concubine Jing and Concubine Pan's stomachs, and she even ran up to them and said some "crazy words" that scared them to fall. Everyone saw it clearly. How dare you quibble? Whose influence did you rely on to do such a wicked thing?"
Empress Dowager Cheng said to Jiang Fenghua, "Madame Liu has always been close to the Queen. I think the person behind this is closely related to the Queen."
Nanny Wang said, "How can the Empress Dowager say that? The Queen did not come to the tea party hosted by the Grand Empress Dowager today. How could the crazy Queen order Concubine Zhu to order her around?"
"The Queen would never do anything to throw dirty water on herself. It makes sense that this could be used to create evidence of her absence. The Queen must have been visiting Qinghua Palace a lot in private!"
Empress Dowager Cheng thought she had Nanny Wang under control, so she said to her directly, "I originally assigned Nanny Wang to serve the Queen, knowing that Nanny Wang was the most knowledgeable about the rules. How come, after just a few years, you can't tell the difference anymore? Or after Nanny Wang became the chief steward, you can't recognize who your master is anymore."
Empress Dowager Cheng realized only belatedly that Nanny Wang had betrayed her. During the time when Jiang Fenghua was away from the palace, everyone in Chenxi Palace was bribed by Nanny Wang and kept their mouths shut, making it impossible to pry open their mouths. Even Cheng Feng had an affair with the maidservants around Jiang Fenghua.
Nanny Wang has always been calm and steady. She only interrupted because she was afraid that the Queen would not recognize Zhu Zhenzhen.
She said respectfully, "It is my duty and I never dare to neglect my duty. The Queen always cares about the ladies in the palaces and ordered me to take good care of them."
This means that Nanny Wang not only takes care of the concubines in Qinghua Palace, but also treats the concubines in other palaces equally. She remembers the accounts of each palace clearly. Nanny Wang believes that Empress Dowager Cheng cannot find any mistakes in this.
Shu Yan said, "Madame Wang has indeed taken good care of Concubine Zhu's Qinghua Palace. She always gives out extra charcoal when distributing firewood. Don't think no one knows what Madame Wang has done."
She pulled Helan Yanran next to her and said, "Noble Concubine Lan saw it with her own eyes, right? Nanny Wang met with Nanny Liu in private. I don't know what they were plotting."
Helan Yanran clenched her hands tightly into fists hidden in her cloak. She didn't dare to raise her head, or even look at anyone. When Shu Yan pulled her back, she said, "I didn't see it clearly. It was pitch black, like charcoal."
Jiang Fenghua glanced at the people present. At a glance, the place was full of people. Were these all the concubines in Xie Shang's harem? There were so many beautiful women in the harem!
Aunt Wang said that she had been very kind to them in the past, but now it seemed that her kindness did not bring good rewards, and they all had anger in their eyes!
At this time, she could not say that the Grand Empress Dowager had not sent a message for the Queen to go to Shoukang Palace for tea. She indeed did not go. Although the Emperor told her not to pay her respects to the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother, etiquette did not allow her to not go.
At this time, Jiang Fenghua also thought that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng were in the same group. Xie Shang said that they couldn't get along. It seemed that they couldn't get along because they had no common interests.
There is something more important now, which is the two women in labor in the room whose lives are in danger.
At this moment, the maid who served Zhang Jingjing ran out crying, "Empress Jingpin is dead, why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? Call the imperial physician!"
Then the midwife was also terrified, "The cervix is only half open, the fetus is stuck, there is no hope."
The midwife had been prepared for this. She had delivered Gao Qingtong and Song Jing before, and even Jiang Fenghua's child. At this moment, the midwife was so scared that she said, "It's hopeless. It's really hopeless."
Seeing that the Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng were still pursuing the blame, Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "The Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng have both given birth to children! They are both mothers! Do you think it's fun to say such sarcastic things here? You keep saying that you are thinking about the heir to the throne, but now they are giving birth to heirs for the Xie family. The imperial physician has not come yet. Please ask the Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng to invite the imperial physician first before punishing me!"
She ignored the two old ladies and walked inside with the midwife.
After hearing the queen's sarcastic words, the people who were discussing the matter at the scene did not dare to discuss loudly anymore and could only talk in a low voice.
The Grand Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Cheng looked at each other, as if Jiang Fenghua's trial was still to come. They didn't know that Jiang Fenghua had lost his memory.
After entering the delivery room, it was actually not a delivery room, but just a temporary guest room in Shoukang Palace. The air inside was icy cold and freezing. Giving birth in such an environment in the middle of winter was simply a torture for the mother.
Fortunately, the midwife was prepared in advance. Knowing that the concubines were about to give birth, Concubine Gao quickly asked someone to invite her over.
But I don’t know why the imperial physician hasn’t come yet.
Two pale-faced women with their eyes closed, lying on each side as if they were really dead. She felt her stomach churning when she saw Zhang Jingjing's lower body torn by childbirth, and her legs went limp when she saw the dried blood on Pan Nianru's body.
She said in a cold voice, "Deliver them. I order you to continue to deliver them."
