But Zhou Ninghai didn't expect that even though he came in, the people at the door wouldn't let him out.
"There is an epidemic in Zhongcui Palace, and no one inside is allowed to go out."
It turned out that this was their idea, and Zhou Ninghai was still wondering how he could get in so happily.
Fortunately, Zhou Ninghai was not in a hurry. Nian Shilan would definitely send someone over when he saw that he had not been back for too long.
So Zhou Ninghai returned to the palace: "Mother Ji, the people outside won't let me go out. Now we can only rely on the few of us to help you give birth. But don't worry, it won't take a while for our empress to find out that I haven't returned, and she will send someone to look for me." Came here."
Ji's concubine's worries that she had just put down started to rise again, but there was nothing she could do. After all, there were still two imperial doctors here, which was better than none.
"Then, please, please."
Concubine Ji struggled to say, "If, if, something unexpected happens, please help me save my child."
A few people didn't listen to her. The most important thing right now was giving birth to the child.
Ji's concubine had a gas, so the fetal position was unstable. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was a master of gynecology, so it was not difficult. Now that Ji's concubine was weak, she didn't know whether she could complete the delivery.
Jiang Cheng had no choice but to quickly order a few people to boil water and prepare food.
Now we must ensure Ji's physical strength.
Nian Shilan was waiting in the palace for Songzhi and Zhou Ninghai to come over and answer, but Songzhi had already come back, but Zhou Ninghai didn't come back.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has heard about the affairs of Zhongcui Palace and said that it is entirely up to your Majesty to decide what happens in Zhongcui Palace."
In fact, the emperor was too impatient now to bother going to Zhongcui Palace. However, when Songzhi came over to speak, the emperor was the first to speak.
Nian Shilan actually made this plan, so that she could go to Zhongcui Palace openly.
"Go and send someone to the Imperial Hospital to see what's going on. Let's go to Zhongcui Palace."
"Mother, you can't go. What if you are also infected with the epidemic?"
When Songzhi heard that Nian Shilan was going to go, he quickly stopped her.
Of course Nian Shilan knew the seriousness of the matter: "Don't worry, I won't go in, I'll just take a look from a distance."
After saying that, Nian Shilan led a large number of people to Zhongcui Palace.
The queen heard that Nian Shilan had gone to Zhongcui Palace and glanced at Xu Yanyi: "Concubine Ji, are you pregnant?"
"Yes, and there are only two personal maids left in the palace who refuse to leave."
Xu Yanyi replied: "Even if Concubine Nian passes now, I'm afraid it won't work."
Who knew that as soon as Xu Yanyi finished speaking, Huichun walked in hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, the guards from Zhongcui Palace came to report that Zhou Ninghai had just gone in with the imperial doctor, but when Zhou Ninghai wanted to go out, they didn't let him go. Now Concubine Hua has gone to ask for someone, and the emperor has also issued an order to send the imperial doctor to Zhongcui Palace. The matter was left to Concubine Hua, and they asked what should be done?"
"What?"
The queen did not expect that they would let Zhou Ninghai in: "Why didn't I know when Zhou Ninghai went in?"
"Your Majesty, you said you are allowed in but not allowed out. Zhou Ninghai also brought Concubine Nian's token. They didn't dare to stop her. They just came to report it, but you went to Shoukang Palace."
The queen knew that it was no longer the time to scold, so she thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to Zhongcui Palace immediately. No matter what, we must save Ji's child."
"Empress."
Xu Yanyi was a little confused.
"Now the concubine is no longer important, the important thing is the emperor's heir."
The Queen thought of a solution almost instantly. So what if Nian Shilan has passed away? She is the queen. She just heard that Concubine Ji was infected with the epidemic and asked outsiders not to enter, but she didn't say that she couldn't invite an imperial doctor. Otherwise, how could Zhou Ninghai and the others get in?
Nian Shilan waited for a while and successfully entered the palace, but before she reached Ji's bedroom, she heard Ji's tragic screams.
"Get someone to help quickly."
Nian Shilan quickly asked the people behind him to help.
When Jiang Cheng saw Nian Shilan's arrival, he suddenly felt reassured: "Your Majesty, Empress Ji's concubine has not contracted the epidemic. Weichen needs some medicinal materials to help her give birth."
Jiang Cheng spoke very quickly for fear of wasting time.
"Okay, Zhou Ninghai, you follow Doctor Jiang to get the medicine."
Nian Shilan didn't have time to ask in detail what was going on, so he quickly let them go first.
Nian Shilan walked into the palace again, took Ji's hand and said, "Don't worry since I'm here."
Ji Bin didn't know why, but looking at Nian Shilan, she felt extremely at ease.
"You can't sleep, otherwise your suffering today will be in vain."
"I, my concubine, I understand."
Concubine Ji gritted her teeth and said: "Inside the palace, there is blood, blood. Your Majesty is outside, just stay outside."
Nian Shilan understood what she meant, nodded and went out.
But this time she had enough people in the room.
As soon as Nian Shilan came out, the queen's people arrived.
"Greetings to Concubine Hua."
It was Jianqiu who personally brought the people here.
"But what are the Queen's orders?"
Nian Shilan asked without raising his eyes.
Jian Qiu looked at Nian Shilan and said, "The Queen heard about Ji's concubine and asked her slaves to bring people here. She must protect the prince and Ji's concubine."
"There are enough people inside. Thank you for your concern, Queen."
Nian Shilan said he wanted to thank the queen, but he stood there without any courtesy and refused to let anyone in.
Naturally, Jian Qiu knew that he couldn't force himself to come with Nian Shilan, so he led others to stand aside and wait.
Songzhi glanced at Jianqiu, then helped Nian Shilan sit down: "My queen, please sit down and have a rest. Your concubine, your concubine, has her own destiny, and everything will be fine."
Nian Shilan didn't even look at Jianqiu. He took the tea handed over by Songzhi and drank it in small sips.
It was still noon when Nian Shilan came, but by nightfall, Ji's concubine had not yet been born, but Ji's concubine's voice became quieter and quieter.
Just when Nian Shilan couldn't hold himself any longer, he finally heard a faint baby cry coming from inside.
"It's born, it's born."
The little palace maid hurriedly ran out to deliver a message to Nian Shilan: "Mother, concubine Ji has given birth to a little brother."
"really?"
Nian Shilan felt relieved immediately, stood up and walked inside. Hearing this, Jianqiu was no longer calm. He glanced at the person next to him, and he understood and ran out secretly.
Nian Shilan entered the palace and saw that Ji Bin was very tired and had fallen asleep.
But according to the doctor, fortunately, her life is not in danger, but she has injured her body and may not be able to get pregnant again in the future.
"How about fifth brother?"
Nian Shilan asked while looking at the palace maid who was cleaning the little guy.
"Go back to your Majesty, the imperial doctor just said that although the fifth elder brother is less than a month old, he is very healthy."
