Qin Fei was not the only one who secretly rejoiced.

Su Fei was even happier these past two days.

Everyone in the palace looked down on her. So what did they see now? Meng Guifei thought she was favored by the Emperor, so she dared to assassinate Lu Mingyu. Now she had even gone to the point of committing suicide, and one foot had already stepped into the gates of hell.

The only pity was that the assassins were useless and did not stab Lu Mingyu to death. They also let Lu Mingyu stay in the Lu Mansion to take care of her pregnancy, instead of both sides suffering.

It would be best if Meng Guifei died, and Emperor Yongjia was heartbroken and took his anger out on Empress Qiao and the Second Prince. Ultimately, wouldn’t it be them, mother and son, who benefited?

The more Su Fei thought about it, the happier she became. She opened her mouth and ordered the palace servants: “Find a plain palace dress.” She still had to do the superficial work.

Su Fei changed into a plainer palace dress, showed a worried and sad expression, and went to the Yanxi Palace.

At this time, the Eldest Prince was kneeling outside the Wenhua Hall. Qin Fei went to Shouning Palace. Empress Qiao and her son were talking in the Jiofang Hall. There were only a bunch of palace maids and a few imperial doctors in Yanxi Palace. The Eldest Huangzifei and Jing’an Gōngzhǔ, whose eyes were red, were guarding the unconscious Meng Guifei.

When Su Fei came, the palace maids saluted with trembling hands, and several imperial doctors were also extremely respectful.

The Eldest Huangzifei Liang Shi and Jing’an Gōngzhǔ stood up and saluted Su Fei.

Su Fei was quite complacent, as if “there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey claims to be the king”. She said lightly: “Everyone sits.” Then she asked Zhou Yuanshi: “Is the imperial concubine awake?”

Zhou Yuanshi frowned and replied in a low voice: “Replying to Su Fei, the imperial concubine has not woken up yet.”

Su Fei carefully controlled the joy in her heart and sighed with pretended worry: “You guys take good care of the imperial concubine.”

Zhou Yuanshi responded in a low voice, pretending not to catch a glimpse of the gloating in Su Fei’s eyes.

Being in the palace and being an imperial physician, the greatest principle of self-protection is not to see what you shouldn’t see, not to hear what you shouldn’t hear, and not to think what you shouldn’t think.

Su Fei looked at the eldest prince’s wife again and asked, “Why are you here alone? Where did the eldest prince go?”

The Eldest Huangzifei looked gloomy and replied softly, “Your Highness went to Wenhua Palace.”

Go and ask Emperor Yongjia to come to the Yanxi Palace!

Emperor Yongjia didn’t show up yesterday, and he won’t come today.

Su Fei sneered in her heart, but said, “Don’t worry, the Emperor has always loved the Guifei and the Eldest Prince. He will come to the Yanxi Palace soon.”

The Eldest Huangzifei was not stupid, how could she not see Su Fei’s secret satisfaction, and couldn’t help but spit in her heart.

She never liked Meng Guifei as her mother-in-law.

Just like Meng Guifei never liked her.

When she was bedridden after her miscarriage, she didn’t know how many times she cursed in secret, hoping that Meng Guifei would suffer misfortune. When that day really came, she suddenly realized that Meng Guifei was the big tree covering the sky above the Eldest Prince’s Mansion. If this big tree really fell, the Eldest Prince’s Mansion would also be shaky.

Now, the Eldest Huangzifei didn’t think about anything else, just hoping that Meng Guifei would open her eyes and wake up. As long as people were not dead, there would be a day to turn over. Jing’an Gōngzhǔ cried all night, and her eyes were red and swollen. At this time, she suddenly said, “I want to go to Wenhua Palace and ask my Royal Father to save my mother.”

The Eldest Huangzifei was startled and tried to stop her: “His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince has already gone, the Gōngzhǔ should not go, stay here to guard my mother. Maybe my mother will open her eyes and wake up soon.”

Don’t go and make trouble.

Jing’an Gōngzhǔ was usually gentle and taciturn, but at this time, she pursed her lips and was very stubborn: “I want to see my Royal Father.” Su Fei watched the excitement and agreed, “The Gōngzhǔ is filial, and the Emperor will definitely soften his heart when he sees the Gōngzhǔ. It would be good for the Gōngzhǔ to go to Wenhua Palace.”

The Eldest Huangzifei wanted to say something, but Jing’an Gōngzhǔ had already stood up and went to Wenhua Hall. The Eldest Huangzifei had no choice but to shut up.

…

At this moment, a palace maid came to report in a panic: “Your Majesty, the Eldest Huangzifei, Yang Gongren heard that something happened to the Guifei and was frightened. Now she is crying that her stomach hurts.”

Yang Gongren had been in her bedroom to take care of her pregnancy. In the past few months, she had not shown her face in public.

Such a big thing happened in the Yanxi Palace, and the palace people were in a panic. The news reached Yang Gongren’s ears. Yang Gongren was eight months pregnant, and this shock caused her to go into premature labor.

The Eldest Huangzifei was both shocked and anxious and immediately ordered: “The Yanxi Palace has already prepared a delivery room. Immediately send someone to help Yang Gongren into the delivery room, and then call the midwife in the palace.”

It was unknown whether the Meng Guifei was alive or dead. At this time, Yang Gongren went into premature labor again. It was like a house leaking in the rain. The Yanxi Palace was in chaos.

Fortunately, Empress Qiao came soon.

After Empress Qiao knew about this, she said to the Eldest Huangzifei, “I’m here, you don’t have to stay here, go to the delivery room and take a look. Although Yang Gongren is just a Gongren, she is pregnant with the blood of the royal family. If this birth is safe and smooth, and the Eldest Prince also has an heir.”

Then, she looked at the Eldest Huangzifei deeply and said, “Premature birth is the most dangerous, you go and take charge, and make sure to save the child.”

The Eldest Huangzifei’s heart skipped a beat and lowered her head, “What the Royal Mother said is right, your daughter-in-law will go right away.”

Along the way, the Eldest Huangzifei seemed calm, but her heart was beating like a drum.

Premature birth was the most dangerous…

Make sure to save the child…

What did Empress Qiao mean by these two words suddenly?

Yanxi Palace was the territory of Meng Guifei. As a daughter-in-law, it was not easy for her to get some information, let alone reach out. In the past six months, Yang Gongren had been safely and steadily nurturing her pregnancy in the palace. If nothing unexpected happened, and she gave birth to an heir, he would also be raised in Yanxi Palace.

But now, Meng Guifei was lying on the bed, unconscious. Yang Gongren was giving birth prematurely. If anything unexpected happened during the birth, if only the child would survive…

The Eldest Huangzifei tucked her hands into her sleeves to hide the trembling of nervousness or excitement, and her pace became faster and faster. The palace servants behind her almost jogged to catch up.

When they arrived outside the delivery room, Yang Gongren’s shrill cries came into their ears.

The Eldest Huangzifei’s trembling hands suddenly stabilized, and she stepped into the delivery room.

Several older palace servants were waiting on the side, and two old maids in their fifties were beside Yang Gongren who was screaming. One pressed Yang Gongren’s bulging belly, and the other put scissors, gauze, and other items into hot water to clean them. Yang Gongren’s forehead was covered with cold sweat, her face was twisted with pain, and her screams became more and more shrill.

The Eldest Huangzifei walked forward, took a quick look, and asked the midwife who was preparing to deliver the baby: “Yang Gongren is giving birth prematurely before the full term. Isn’t it dangerous?”

The midwife lowered her head and replied respectfully: “Premature birth is indeed dangerous. Yang Gongren’s fetal position is not right, we have to try to correct the fetal position, otherwise, it will be difficult to deliver. We will do our best.”

The Eldest Huangzifei nodded: “As long as the child is born safely, there will be a big reward.” She only mentioned the child, not Yang Gongren.

The two midwives subconsciously looked at each other and agreed in unison.
