Chapter 96(1/2)
Concubine Yun looked at Chu Yanzi's almost empty breath, and heartache flashed in her eyes. She raised her steps, but still did not walk forward. She shouldn't have passed, nor could she go there. She believed that Zhen, Ayan would definitely survive, otherwise she would not let herself be in such danger.
The difference from Concubine Yun's reaction was that the queen. Seeing Chu Yanzi almost fell asleep, a trace of excitement and expectation flashed in her eyes. As long as she died, everything today was not a waste. Her purpose was to kill her life. Although the process was different from what she thought, the result would be the same.
The matter here also spread to Jiaofang Palace and Cihui Palace. Bao Zhaoyi had just returned to his palace and heard the news soon after. His expression changed. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he ordered Liuzhu to prepare a ceremonial guard to rush to Luoyun Palace.
In Cihui Palace
Old Madam Zhang walked in and looked at the empress dowager who had just finished lunch and was resting on the bed. She paused for a moment before speaking, "Empress Dowager, something happened to Luo Yun Palace."
On the bed, the queen mother frowned. Luo Yun Palace? What could happen here? Open her eyes and look at the nanny, then ask, "What's going on?"
"Zhen Xiuyi was considered to be plotting and had an affair with Doctor Fu. When changing clothes, someone introduced Doctor Fu to Luoyun Hall and even lit the Chunfeng San in Luoyun Hall."
"What!" The Empress Dowager sat up and looked angry. She would not care if she had too many plans in the palace, but if someone had used their royal face to plot against a concubine, she would not let her go!
She also remembered that she had been to this child when she was miscarriage that day, and she was indeed deeply favored by the emperor. However... the empress dowager's expression changed and she spoke a little coldly, "Is Zhen Xiuyi a hit?" No matter whether she was innocent or not, if her child was in a bad state, she would not be able to tolerate her.
The nanny looked at the queen mother and knew what she was thinking. She shook her head and said, "No, when the emperor arrived, Zhen Xiuyi was already in a pool of blood."
"What does it mean?" The Queen Mother paused, and she didn't understand the nanny's words, frowned and asked again.
The nanny said wordlessly to the Queen Mother. After hearing this, her face changed. Finally, she closed her eyebrows and said with a trace of distress, "It's also a difficult situation for this child," then stood up with her hands holding the nanny's hand, and said in a voice without any warmth, "Let's go and see who is so bold that she actually puts my royal face on the soles of her feet!"
In Luo Yun's palace, the imperial physician had just arrived and saw the scene where Zhen Xiuyi's life was hanging in a thread, and his heart was thrilled. What's wrong with Zhen Xiuyi? Looking at Emperor Yong's red eyes, the imperial physicians opened their eyes and dared not look.
Emperor Yong put Chu Yanzi on the bed in Luoyun Hall. Just as he was about to let go and was about to give way to the imperial physician, he saw the expression on Chu Yanzi's face change. Emperor Yong did not dare to move anymore. He sat next to Chu Yanzi, holding her hand in one hand, and whispered, "I won't leave, I won't leave, don't be afraid, Ayan."
"…The Emperor…is afraid…”
"Don't be afraid of Ayan. I'm here, Ayan won't be in trouble! There's no matter what!" Emperor Yong comforted her softly, looking at the imperial physician standing beside him, his face turned cold, "What are you still standing?"
Doctor Feng looked at Fu Yan in the corner, frowned, and walked up to take the pulse for Chu Yanzi. After taking the pulse, Doctor Feng's brow frowned fiercely. Why did Zhen Xiuyi suffer such a serious injury?
"Emperor, Zhen Xiuyi lost too much blood and his life was in danger."
"I need you to tell me this? Can't I see it when I make trouble? You just need to tell me how to save Zhen Xiuyi!" Listening to the nonsense of the imperial physician, Emperor Yong's face was gloomy. Chu Yanzi, who was beside him, was about to fall into a coma. Emperor Yong could not keep his calm.
Doctor Feng shook his body and thought carefully. After a long time, he looked up and said, "From the current physical condition of the Empress, it is not optimistic. If you only take some blood-replenishing medicine, it should not be of much use. Now there is only one way."
"What method?" Emperor Yong asked her when he heard that there was a way to save Chu Yanzi.
The expression in the eyes of Doctor Feng became dark. He first asked the doctor beside him to stop the bleeding for Zhen Xiuyi, and then said, "Put other people's blood into the Empress."
Hearing this method, Emperor Yong frowned, but when Chu Yanzi was in danger of his life, he couldn't care so much. Emperor Yong asked, "Whose blood can do it?"
Doctor Feng shook his head and said, "Of course not. Only those with the same blood as the Queen Mother can transfusion blood for the Queen Mother."
The queen frowned. For some reason, listening to the conversation between the emperor and the others, she suddenly felt a bad feeling, but this feeling came too little. Mushanxi. The queen calmed down, then a worried smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and said, "Since it is the same as Zhen Xiuyi's blood, then the blood of the Chu family is enough."
Hearing the queen's words, Doctor Feng quickly shook his head and said, "No, as long as the same blood as the Queen Mother, it is OK, only the Queen Mother's blood relatives cannot."
Hearing this, Emperor Yong frowned. The Chu family members were not allowed. So where did he go to find someone with the same blood as Ayan? Emperor Yong looked at Doctor Feng and asked, "How do you find someone with the same blood?"
"It's simple. Just a bowl of water. If the blood of the two people can blend together, then the blood of these two people will be the same."
Hearing this sentence, Emperor Yong looked at Doctor Feng in surprise. Isn’t this a bloody recognition of his relative?
Looking at the surprise on the emperor's face, Imperial Doctor Feng could also guess what he was thinking. Imperial Doctor Feng explained, "The same is true for recognizing relatives after dropping blood." After pausing, he looked at Emperor Yong nodded, and expressed his understanding. Imperial Doctor Feng said again,
"Emperor, Empress Zhen Xiuyi has not been able to hold on for long. We must seize the time to find someone with the same blood as the Empress. Another point is that the Empress needs a lot of blood, so..."
After hearing his last words, Emperor Yong squinted his eyes and looked at the restless concubines, with cold eyes on the corners of his eyes, and then said to Zhang Jin, "Zhang Jin, go and pick up water, let all masters try it."
The concubines in the harem turned pale when they heard Emperor Yong's words. They had just heard what Doctor Feng said. Zhen Xiuyi needed a lot of blood. This... If they had the same blood as Zhen Xiuyi, wouldn't they want to release a lot of blood?
"Yes!" Zhang Jin did not care about the fear of these concubines and retreated. No matter what, the emperor would not let him, the blood of a eunuch, flow into Zhen Xiuyi's body. He didn't hear the first group of people who asked the blood to be tested were all the palace concubines.
After a while, a group of palace servants walked in with a bowl of water. When the Empress Dowager and Bao Zhaoyi arrived, they saw this scene. The Empress Dowager frowned. Zhang Jin, who was beside him, stepped forward and told her what had happened. The Empress Dowager looked at the blood on the ground, finally calmed down and walked to the side to sit down.
The concubines in the harem were so scared that their faces were pale, and the timids had already cried. Looking at their reluctant appearance, Emperor Yong's eyes turned cold, "If you don't want to move me to Qingliang Hall!"
As Emperor Yong said this, the concubines were so scared that they even looked at the empress dowager who had just breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the palace people took out a tiny silver needle and signaled the little masters to stretch out their hands.
Emperor Yong was watching, and no one dared to refuse. Even if he was slow, he stretched out his hand. He was very happy with the people who harmed Chu Yanzi. As for why he didn't hate Zhen Xiuyi? Looking at the emperor holding it in his palm, how could they dare? After all, they were just bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Yanpin looked at the silver needle in front of her, took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and the palace maid in front of her said, "My little master, I'm offended." Then she gently stabbed the silver needle. Before Yanpin could sense the pain again, a drop of blood came out.
Because Chu Yanzi had shed a lot of blood just now, there was no need to worry about it. A palace servant took a drop from the ground and put it in a bowl. Waiting for the result, Yanpin was very nervous, fearing that she would be the same as Chu Yanzi's blood. She watched the two drops of blood spread and melted into the water with her own eyes. Yanpin breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite like she had a lifetime away from the disaster.
This look appeared on everyone in the palace. After one person felt relieved, Emperor Yong's expression became a little gloomy. When all the low-ranking concubines tried blood, no one could have the same blood as Chu Yanzi. Emperor Yong suddenly shouted, "Everything is useless! Get out of me!"
Listening to Emperor Yong's roar, everyone was startled and did not dare to stay in this hall. They bowed and retreated in fear, but they did not dare to return to the palace just now. They had to stand in the yard of Luoyun Palace and wait for the result.
At this time, only the queen, Concubine Yun and Bao Zhaoyi had not tried the blood, and of course Emperor Yong himself. As for the queen mother, Emperor Yong could not let her try the blood. Therefore, when the palace people came in with bowls, in order to gain the last glimmer of hope, Emperor Yong said, "Come on a bowl of water."
Hearing Emperor Yong's orders, the people in the palace were stunned, and then they saw Zhang Jin kneeling to the ground with a "thump" with an anxious and worried look on his face and said, "Your Majesty, you must not!"
Seeing the palace people stopping, Emperor Yong felt Chu Yanzi's breathing lighter and lighter, his face darkened, and he said coldly, "What? I can't help you?"
"I dare not!" Seeing that Emperor Yong insisted on this, Zhang Jin, the Queen and others looked at the Queen Mother, but saw that the Queen Mother frowned and looked at Emperor Yong, then opened her eyes and did not say anything. Everyone dared not persuade him again and brought a bowl of water to Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong stretched out his hand, and the palace servant in front of him took a deep breath, afraid that his hand would hurt the emperor if he trembled. You must know that the dragon body was damaged, but fortunately, he still stabilized. With a light stab, Emperor Yong dripped a drop of blood. The palace servant breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
Next is the time to wait for the result. Because there are only these masters in the palace, they are all a little nervous. But after a while, they heard the palace people report that "Empress Yun Concubine does not match Empress Zhen Xiuyi."
Hearing this result, the emperor looked disappointed in his eyes. He waved his hand and signaled the next one. Concubine Yun took a step back, unable to tell whether she was disappointed or grateful.
"The Queen and the Queen Zhen Xiuyi have the same blood!"
Emperor Yong's eyes lit up and he looked in the direction of the queen. Fu Yan, who had been bandaged by the imperial physician, also looked at the queen with an unclear expression. His body was better than Chu Yanzi, and he still had the energy to wait for the result. However, after these two days of events, he unknowingly learned to restrain his concern for Chu Yanzi, and did not look at Chu Yanzi, because he knew that his concern never brought Chu Yanzi luck.
But when the queen heard this, her face turned pale. The emperor watched from the side and did not lose her manners. She made a small ritual to donate blood to her, and she was not afraid of losing her blessing!
Immediately afterwards, two more sounds came,
"Bao Zhaoyi and Zhen Xiuyi have the same blood!"
"The blood of the emperor and Empress Zhen Xiuyi is the same!"
The last voice became significantly weaker, with a hint of pause. Emperor Yong looked at Bao Zhaoyi and the queen's pale face, and his eyes paused. He looked at Chu Yanzi, but saw that she had closed her eyes with some difficulty. Emperor Yong turned pale and asked Doctor Feng,
"Is the blood of three people enough?"
Before Doctor Feng could answer him, the Queen Mother's voice rang out, with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Emperor, since the Queen, Bao Zhaoyi and Zhen Xiuyi have the same blood, the Emperor does not have to take this risk," Looking at the Emperor frowning, the Queen Mother looked dark, and then said, "Son, don't worry the Queen Mother."
Emperor Yong paused and looked at the empress dowager. Seeing that her hair on her temples had a little more white hair, she felt a little awkward, and then said, "Son of my son and mother." After promising to the empress dowager, Emperor Yong turned to Doctor Feng and asked coldly, "Are you enough for both of you?"
Doctor Feng nodded, looked at the pale-faced two people beside him, and lowered his head and replied to Emperor Yong, "It's enough to go back to the emperor."
When Emperor Yong heard the answer from Doctor Feng, he knew that Chu Yanzi could no longer support him. He closed his eyes and did not look at the queen and Bao Zhaoyi with disbelief and begging. He asked coldly, "What should I do next?"
"Bleeding! Let the Empress and the Empress Bao Zhaoyi each release eight taels of blood, which should be about two bowls."
As soon as these words came out, the queen and Bao Zhaoyi's faces were pale in an instant, two bowls of blood! Are they still alive? Bao Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Yong and asked in disbelief, "Emperor, what did you say? You asked me to donate blood to her?"
When the queen saw Bao Zhaoyi questioning the emperor, a dark look flashed in her eyes. If the emperor felt sorry for Bao Zhaoyi and refused to let her donate blood... The queen's face changed. She didn't have the ability to make the emperor feel sorry for her. Once she didn't have to bleed, wouldn't she have to put four bowls of blood? She could no longer accept both bowls, let alone four bowls!
She said, "Bao Zhaoyi, now Zhen Xiuyi is in danger. Since we have the same blood as her, we should help you if you can. Don't refuse."
Bao Zhaoyi glared at the queen and said it nicely, but she didn't look at the look on her face now. She looked pale. She was obviously extremely reluctant, but she insisted on saying these righteous words, which was really disgusting.
Emperor Yong looked at Bao Zhaoyi, his eyes were unclear, with a hint of heartache, and other emotions. He felt the hand he was holding suddenly moved. Emperor Yong suddenly turned around to look at Chu Yanzi, but saw Chu Yanzi suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at him, crying in disbelief, but he couldn't say anything. Emperor Yong's face changed and he shouted to the palace servant,
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you help the Queen and Bao Zhaoyi?"
Bao Zhaoyi was obviously unwilling to do so, but the palace servant walked into her and whispered, "Empress, I'm sorry!" After saying that, another palace servant took out the bowl and placed it under her wrist. The palace servant who held the bowl of her hand looked at Emperor Yong, then picked up a dagger, and gently stroked it. Instantly, blood flowed out of Bao Zhaoyi's hand, drop by drop, and fell into the bowl held by the palace servant.
Emperor Yong turned his head away and did not look at Bao Zhaoyi's face with a pale face. Bao Zhaoyi looked at Emperor Yong with a heartache and looked at Chu Yanzi. He felt very cold in his heart. He felt the pain on his wrist. Bao Zhaoyi turned pale and stopped looking at Emperor Yong. He buried his head in the arms of Liuzhu with a terrified face. He gritted his teeth and cried, and suddenly he didn't want to show weakness to Emperor Yong anymore.
Bao Zhaoyi on the other side had already begun. Emperor Yong turned his gaze to the queen and nodded to the palace people. The palace people no longer delayed. The queen was so scared that her face turned pale when she saw Bao Zhaoyi's appearance. Now, seeing the palace people walking towards her, she couldn't help but take a step back, but under Emperor Yong's gaze, the queen did not dare to resist.
At this moment, the imperial physician who was stopping the bleeding for Chu Yanzi suddenly turned pale. He pulled him behind the imperial physician Feng and signaled him to go and see Zhen Xiuyi again. The imperial physician Feng frowned and looked at the man. He just took the pulse for Zhen Xiuyi a roughly, and found that she had lost too much blood and could not be delayed. He immediately reported to the emperor, what's wrong?
The people over there were already bleeding for the queen. Emperor Yong turned his head and saw the expression of the imperial physician suddenly change. Suddenly, an ominous premonition arose in his heart. She turned to Chu Yanzi. She was looking at herself empty-headed, as if her heart was dead as if she was ashen. Emperor Yong felt a stinging pain in his heart. He looked at the imperial physician and asked with some resistance.
"Zhen Xiuyi, what's wrong?"
Doctor Feng had just finished taking her pulse for her, and reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Looking at the expressions of Emperor Yong and Zhen Xiuyi at this time, he knelt on the ground but did not dare to speak. He hesitated for a long time, but still did not spit out a word.
Emperor Yong was furious and kicked him over, "I asked you something! Didn't you hear it?"
After receiving this kick, Doctor Feng quickly got up again and looked at the doctor beside him. Seeing that he nodded to him with a pale face, Doctor Feng did not dare to rub his head anymore and said in a trembling voice, "Master, Zhen Xiuyi... She seems to have a miscarriage!"
Luo Yun Palace suddenly fell into a dead silence. Bao Zhaoyi, who was crying, also looked up in surprise at this time. The empress dowager over there, holding the Buddhist beads, trembled, opened her eyes, and looked at Emperor Yong with some helplessness.
Fu Yan, who fell on the other side, did not expect such a thing to happen. When he asked the Empress for the pulse yesterday, he did not find out that she was pregnant. Otherwise, even if he died, he would not have hurt the Empress at all. Fu Yan did not dare to look up and look at her again. He lowered his head. He suddenly felt that his eyes were a little wet. Thinking about the despairing look of the Empress when he heard that he could not be pregnant that day, can the Empress bear this blow today?
Concubine Yun took the eldest princess and took a deep breath. She covered the eldest princess' eyes and trembled a little. She raised her eyes to look at Chu Yanzi, but saw her looking lifeless. Her soft and soft smile was still wandering in her mind. She was no longer afraid to correspond to the woman in front of her and the one she remembered.
After a long time, the sound of Emperor Yong without any emotion came from the dead hall.
"What did you say?"
Doctor Feng swallowed his saliva, reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead again, and then replied to him, "Back to the emperor, Empress Zhen Xiuyi, she has a miscarriage!" He said again, he still paused at the miscarriage. At this time, Emperor Yong's face was too calm. He suddenly remembered the scene when Bao Zhaoyi was miscarriage. The blood of the Rijiaofang Palace soaked the ground. Will the blood stain Luoyun Palace again today?
"Haha-ah!"
After hearing his words, Emperor Yong suddenly reached out to cover his eyes and made a burst of laughter. Just as everyone was terrified, Emperor Yong suddenly shouted in pain. The empress dowager sitting there could no longer sit down. He stood up, held the nanny's hand tightly, but couldn't take a step forward.
The concubines outside Luo Yun's palace suddenly heard the emperor's voice, looked at each other, and looked at each other. What happened here? Isn't there just now that the blood of the queen and Bao Zhaoyi is the same as that of Zhen Xiuyi?
Chu Yanzi also heard Emperor Yong's voice, as if awakened by Emperor Yong. She came back to her senses from that hollow state, her eyes moved, and turned to Emperor Yong. Emperor Yong had already let go of her hand and covered her eyes with one hand, so that people could not see that she was a little devastating at the moment, but Chu Yanzi saw water stains in his fingers.
——I won’t let this happen!
