An Lingrong after rebirth

Chapter 136 7th Brother

"Cai Yue listened to An Lingrong's tone and knew that this matter was very important, but when she thought that there was no one guarding here, she felt a little troubled."

An Lingrong saw Caiyue's embarrassment and patted her hand. "Don't worry, I've asked Lian'er to go back to Yanxi Palace to call Qiufang and Yangui. Leave this to me."

Caiyue heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down, "On behalf of my queen, I would like to thank the Queen Concubine Shu. All right, all right. Your queen and I are different from others. You should go quickly. It will be too late if they finish packing up and it will be bad if you have to recover later."

"After Caiyue responded and left, An Lingrong took two steps toward the door with her handkerchief in her hand, but she didn't push the door open. Not long after, Lian'er and Yan Gui arrived, but Qiufang didn't follow."

"An Lingrong did not ask any questions. She asked Lian'er to wait outside the delivery room. Yan Gui stood at the entrance of the main hall before she sat down."

"It doesn't matter whether Shen Meizhuang inside knows that I'm here or not. As long as I can protect Shen Meizhuang and help her give birth to the child, that's enough."

"I had originally planned to come to Yonghe Palace to discuss with Shen Meizhuang about giving a reward to Zhen Huan, but now it seems that it is not going to work. Before An Lingrong could think about it, Cai Xing had already brought Luo Rui in."

An Lingrong stood up and walked over to Luo Rui. "Doctor Luo, Caiyue is in the side hall helping the midwife clean up. Doctor Luo, please go check it out first to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

An Lingrong's tone was somewhat ambiguous, but Luo Rui instantly understood what An Lingrong meant and bowed to her. "Yes, I will go right away."

Luo Rui left An Lingrong and spoke again, "Cai Xing, go in first and see how your queen is doing. By the way, ask Aunt Zhuying if there is anything you need to prepare."

After giving a few instructions and watching everyone go about their business, An Lingrong finally breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhuying here, nothing will go wrong!

"As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, there was a noise outside. An Lingrong looked outside in confusion and saw Yan Gui holding a middle-aged woman and walking outside the palace gate."

"Yan Gui, what's going on?" Yan Gui was holding the person down, so he couldn't speak. Cai Yue, who was standing beside him, said angrily, "Madam Shupin, Imperial Doctor Luo got the order from the Madam to check the items that the midwives had packed."

"I unexpectedly smelled a strange odor on this person's head. Upon closer inspection, I found that this person actually took the 'civet scent' and made it into hair oil and applied it on his head."

"Civet incense"? What is it? Madam, this thing is useless to ordinary people, but for women who have just given birth, smelling it will cause heavy bleeding.

An Lingrong was shocked when she heard this. The person behind this was planning to kill Shen Meizhuang completely, so as to "kill the mother and keep the son."

After carefully looking at the person in front of her, An Lingrong said, "Now that Concubine Xian is giving birth, this is not the time to interrogate her. First, hold her down and keep a good eye on her. Don't let her commit suicide."

"Yes," Yan Gui responded and was about to force the people to leave. An Lingrong asked again, "Lian'er, have you sent someone to report to the Yangxin Palace?"

"Your Majesty, someone has already been sent there. I guess the Emperor hasn't left the court yet, so they haven't arrived yet. Where is Jingren Palace?" As soon as An Lingrong finished her words, she heard several loud shouts outside.

"I turned around and saw the emperor and the queen leading the group, followed by all the concubines. Almost everyone had arrived, except Zhen Huan."

"An Lingrong walked to the courtyard, knelt down, and greeted His Majesty and the Empress. Get up, how is Concubine Xian?"

"An Lingrong stood up and replied to the emperor, 'Aunt Zhuying is in there right now, and Sister Mei just had a miscarriage, so it's going to be a while before she gives birth!'"

"The emperor turned around and saw Yan Gui kneeling with a woman on top of him. He asked, "What's going on?"

An Lingrong followed the emperor's gaze and said, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Luo discovered that the midwife had put a hair oil made from civet cat scent on her head. This oil is useless to normal people, and will cause heavy bleeding if someone who has just given birth smells it."

"Just now the Emperor and Empress were not here. I thought that Sister Mei's delivery was important, so I held her down first and waited for her to give birth safely," the interrogator said.

"The emperor's face flashed with anger, and he nodded. You did the right thing. Su Peisheng, take this man away and interrogate him personally."

"If Luo Shi knew that someone was doing these shady things to her daughter, it would be a disgrace to the royal family."

"Don't blame him for asking Su Peisheng to interrogate him personally. Su Peisheng led his men to retreat. An Lingrong said again, Your Majesty, it's still early now. Why don't you, the Queen and the sisters go inside and wait?"

"I guess you haven't had breakfast yet at this hour? Can I have someone prepare breakfast from the Yanxi Palace and bring it to you? Well! You are thoughtful. Let's do this."

"The emperor could ask for breakfast, but others dared not. They could only refuse and wait in the hall. They waited for nearly two hours."

In the delivery room, Shen Meizhuang's cries of pain went from strong at the beginning to weak at the end, which made An Lingrong feel heartbroken.

"Shen Meizhuang's rebirth is one of my obsessions. My child inherited Shen Meizhuang's love. When I went to the Old Summer Palace, it was she who protected me and prevented me from falling."

"An Lingrong also had to do her best to ensure Shen Meizhuang's safe delivery. Seeing basins of blood being brought out one after another, An Lingrong became more and more uneasy."

After waiting restlessly for a while, she finally stood up, walked to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am really worried about Sister Mei, why don't you let me go in and see Sister Mei.

The emperor had waited for so long that he could no longer take the initiative. He nodded and said, "Okay, you also have a child. You have experience. Go in and take a look."

Yes!

"An Lingrong agreed and walked towards the delivery room regardless of other people's eyes. When she opened the door curtain, she frowned at the smell of blood."

"She quickly scanned the hall. Caiyue was standing beside Shen Meizhuang's bed, while Zhuying was checking her pulse. The other two midwives looked up from time to time."

"An Lingrong watched from afar and felt that something was wrong with Shen Meizhuang. She stepped forward and without even bothering to greet Caiyue, she hurriedly asked Zhuying, "Aunt, what happened to Sister Mei?"

"After hearing this, Zhuying's eyes flashed with surprise. The place where Dushun women give birth is a dangerous place. I didn't expect An Lingrong to come in without hesitation."

Still, she answered, "Madam Shupin, the baby in Madam Xianpin's belly is a little big, and Madam Xianpin has used up all her strength. I have told Imperial Doctor Luo that I am afraid that she will need medicine to induce labor."

"If we wait any longer, the fetus in the womb might suffocate and it will be irreversible. If that's the case, why don't you use the medicine?"

"My lady, this medicine is to induce labor. It is harmful to the body of the Lady Xianpin. Sometimes you can't make up your mind. After hearing this, An Lingrong bent her knees and half-knelt beside Shen Meizhuang's bed, holding Shen Meizhuang's hands with both hands."

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei, ......"

"Shen Meizhuang opened her eyes with great effort, saw An Lingrong, and tried to bend the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't even smile. Rong'er, you're here."

An Lingrong looked at Shen Meizhuang's weak appearance, but still wanted to speak to her. She felt her eyes warm up and said hurriedly, "Sister Mei, my aunt said that the baby is about to come out, you must not fall asleep."

"Shen Meizhuang wanted to nod, but she didn't have the strength to do so."

"Rong'er, thank you so much for being with me now." Sister Mei, please stop talking. Save some strength as you will need it later.

"As An Lingrong was speaking, she couldn't control her tears and started to flow. Seeing this, Suo Diao Luo couldn't help but sob out of grief."

"It seems that she was stimulated by An Lingrong's tears and the tears of the Luo family. Shen Meizhuang suddenly generated a force and grabbed An Lingrong's hand tightly, pinching her body and shaking."

"Immediately afterwards, another cry of pain came from Shen Meizhuang's throat, and the midwife's surprised voice came, "I saw it, I saw it, Madam, please try harder, and the baby will come out."

"The midwife was surprised, but when Shen Meizhuang grabbed it, An Lingrong's hand loosened. At this time, Zhuying quickly put the ginseng slices that had been prepared long ago into Shen Meizhuang's mouth."

"Seeing An Lingrong looking at him in confusion, he explained, "Your Majesty, this ginseng is a hundred-year-old ginseng given by the Queen Mother. It is the best for boosting energy."

"I hope that Concubine Xian can give birth to the child in one go, so that she won't need to take the medicine that hurts her body." After hearing this, An Lingrong held Shen Meizhuang's hand tightly again.

"Sister Mei, Sister Mei, did you hear that?" The corners of Shen Meizhuang's mouth moved, as if the ginseng slice had taken effect. In just a breath, her face became a little redder.

"She regained some strength in her hands. Veins bulged on Shen Meizhuang's forehead. She cried out in pain again, followed by the sound of a baby crying. Shen Meizhuang's strength was truly exhausted."

"Her neck tilted and she fainted. She didn't even have time to look at the child. An Lingrong shouted anxiously, "Aunt, please go and see what happened to Sister Mei."

Zhuying stepped forward, checked her pulse, and looked relieved. "Don't worry, Concubine Shu. Concubine Xian is exhausted. She will be fine after a short sleep."

"An Lingrong heaved a sigh of relief and turned her gaze to the midwife. After a while, the child had wrapped himself up. After a while, the midwife brought a thick blanket from the side."

After wrapping the child, she turned to look at An Lingrong and said, "Empress Shu, Empress Xian has given birth to a son." An Lingrong burst into tears of joy after hearing this, and covered her mouth with her hands to stop herself from crying out loud.

"It took a long while for her to calm down. She reached out and handed the child to me. Suo Diao Luo, who was standing beside her, moved her lips but didn't say anything in the end."

An Lingrong did not notice anything unusual about the other party. She took the child, lowered her head to look at the child, and said with a smile, "This child is darker than Xiaoliu when he is born. He will definitely be a strong child in the future."

Suo Diao Luo came over, peeked in, and said, "What Concubine Shu is right," The Emperor and the Empress are waiting outside. I will take the child to see the Emperor first.

"Ask Luo to step aside. Yes, thank you for your help, Madam Shupin! An Lingrong nodded to her, then carried the Seventh Prince and walked out of the delivery room."

"Everyone outside heard the baby crying, and saw An Lingrong carrying the baby out. Everyone stared at the child."

An Lingrong walked up to him, knelt down, and said, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you. Sister Mei has safely given birth to a prince. Both mother and child are safe."

The emperor stood up, moved closer to An Lingrong, glanced down, and immediately laughed out loud. "Well, well, this child is not as fair as our Xiaoliusheng."
