Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 468 Yuanchun is dying

At this time, Concubine Jing of Changchun Palace also knew from her own channels that Queen Jia Yuanchun had been rescued.

Concubine Jing just smiled softly and didn't take it to heart very much.

"Your Majesty, if the Duke of the State finds out about this matter, what will we do?" A palace maid asked worriedly beside Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing said calmly: "What's so scary? As long as no obvious evidence is left behind, what else can the Duke do to our mother and son?"

Concubine Jing is so confident!

It turns out that Concubine Jing was not innocent. Her natal family had reviewed Jia Rui's behavior over the years through various channels, and then sent the information to Concubine Jing.

After analyzing Jia Rui, Jingfei discovered a possible weakness, that is, Jia Rui was very good to her family.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Jia Rui was very cruel, killing countless people, and also carried out several purges within the court.

But upon further analysis, you will see that Jia Rui is still very good to his relatives. Almost all of them who have done wrong things are covered up, and no one is punished.

This shows that Jia Rui is very nostalgic for old feelings.

It was precisely because of this concept that Concubine Jing dared to act so boldly.

Although the matter failed this time, it did not affect him. As long as he pretended not to know, Jia Rui should also pretend to be confused.

Sure enough, as Concubine Jing thought, although she felt like she was being watched indifferently, the next few days were calm and there were no storms like others imagined.

Of course, as punishment for Concubine Jing, Jia Rui never went to Concubine Jing's Changchun Palace from that day on, which was regarded as temporarily leaving her in the cold.

A few more months passed in the blink of an eye, and Jia Yuanchun's delivery date was getting closer and closer.

The month before, Jia Lian was also forced to return to the small northwest county under the pressure of Jia Rui and Jia Zhengjia She.

Now, Jia Rui has focused a large part of his attention on Jia Yuanchun, who is about to give birth.

As Jia Yuanchun's belly grew bigger, his protection against Jia Yuanchun became even tighter.

Nowadays, the palace maids and eunuchs beside Jia Yuanchun are changed every seven days, and each time is strictly reviewed. They are not allowed to have any communication with the outside world during the seven days they serve Jia Yuanchun.

This is why Jia Rui is afraid that the last incident will happen again.

Fortunately, Concubine Jing, who is the most powerful person in the palace, has now become quiet and no longer makes trouble. Therefore, Jia Rui went to Concubine Jing's palace a few days ago to see her as a pregnant woman.

After not seeing Concubine Jing for several months, she still acted indifferently, but because she was already pregnant, she showed a maternal brilliance that she had never seen before.

Jia Rui appreciated this very much and rested at Concubine Jing's place for several days.

Xue Baochai of the Yangxin Hall seemed to be completely indifferent to Concubine Jing, an opponent she had never met before.

In fact, she had already placed someone next to Concubine Jing through her relationship with Hualan.

Of course, she couldn't order this person to do anything. She could only give her some information about Concubine Jing's current situation and inside information.

Xue Baochai started to pay attention to Concubine Jing's opponent.

This is also the first time Xue Baochai is serious.

On this day, Jia Rui was still accompanying the pregnant woman Jing Fei. After dinner, the two of them lay on the bed and chatted.

It may also be due to novelty. Jia Rui has regained interest in Concubine Jing these days, and even left another pregnant woman, Xue Baochai, in the Yangxin Hall for a long time.

"What do you think we will do if we have a boy in the future?" Concubine Jing blinked and said with some sadness.

The reason why she said this was because Jia Rui had been beside her saying that he liked girls and hoped that Concubine Jing would give him a little girl.

Although Concubine Jing was unwilling in her heart, she still followed Jia Rui on the surface.

Jia Rui touched Concubine Jing's belly, then said with a smile: "If it's a girl, of course it's a princess. If it's a boy, haha, when he grows up, spank him once a day so that he will never be able to sit on a stool."

Concubine Jing smiled first, then pushed Jia Rui unhappily, "What are you talking about?"

At this moment, outside the bed cover, one of Jia Rui's personal eunuchs said softly: "My lord, my lord."

"what happened?"

"My lord, the Queen has launched an attack. People from the Imperial Hospital have asked you to come over and take charge."

After hearing this, Jia Rui became alert and quickly sat up.

He pushed open the door of Babu's bed and walked out.

The palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting outside immediately went over to change Jia Rui's clothes.

"Let's go, let's go quickly." Jia Rui had just finished wearing half of his clothes and couldn't wait to go out.

When he came outside, he found that the royal chariot he was walking in the palace was ready.

Jia Rui immediately got on the sedan, and was carried by the eunuchs, and then hurried straight to Jia Yuanchun's Kunning Palace.

When we arrived outside Kunning Palace, the place was already brightly lit and heavily guarded.

As soon as Jia Rui's chariot stopped, Lao Li hurried to the sedan and knelt on the ground.

"Master, the Queen has been in action for more than half an hour, but she has not given birth to a prince."

Jia Rui got off the sedan, looked inside, and then said, "Have the people from the Taiyuan Hospital gone in?"

"Returning to the country, my lord, several gynecological experts from Tai Hospital have already entered."

Jia Rui nodded, and then walked in first. Lao Li and the people behind him hugged Jia Rui and followed closely behind him.

Arriving at a small room next to Kunning Palace, Jia Rui heard a burst of shouting and crying in the room.

Jia Rui stopped again and looked at the basins of blood that came out. Jia Rui was also a little frightened. Could it be that Jia Yuanchun couldn't hold on any longer?

Jia Rui paced back and forth outside the room while listening to bad news one after another coming from inside.

When the sky was just getting light, Jia Yuanchun, who had been struggling for several hours, finally heard a faint cry of a baby in the delivery room.

Jia Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the baby's cry, but before Jia Rui could be happy for a long time, an imperial doctor hurriedly came out from inside.

He came to Jia Rui and fell to his knees with a plop.

"My lord, your subordinates are incompetent. I'm afraid the queen will not be able to hold on any longer."

"What's going on? Isn't the baby already born? Why can't it hold on?"

"My father-in-law returned home, and the queen struggled all night. Although she gave birth to a healthy prince, she suffered from severe bleeding after delivery. The subordinate officials and others have tried their best to stop the bleeding."

Jia Rui also felt his heart beat a little after hearing this.

Just when Jia Rui was at a loss, a palace maid covered in blood came out.

When she saw Jia Rui, she immediately rushed over and knelt down in front of Jia Rui.

"Uncle Rui, our girl would like you to come in."

Hearing the address at home in the palace made Jia Rui feel a little warm.

But he immediately understood that the person kneeling in front of him was one of the maids Jia Yuanchun brought into the palace from Jia's mansion, and only they could call Jia Rui "Uncle Rui".

Jia Rui hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the maid into the delivery room.

In fact, Concubine Jing's analysis is very correct. Jia Rui is very soft-hearted towards the Jia family, even Jia Yuanchun is no exception.

As soon as he entered the delivery room, Jia Rui smelled the pungent smell of blood.

However, Jia Rui had been on the battlefield several times and didn't care about the smell of blood. Then she followed the maid to Jia Yuanchun's delivery bed.

At this time, Jia Yuanchun had dressed tightly again.

However, her pale face without a trace of blood at this time, and the blood that kept seeping out from the bed, made people see her current situation.

Jia Yuanchun heard the footsteps and turned his head slowly. When he saw Jia Rui walking over, there was a light in his eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

Jia Rui knelt in front of the bed, looking at Jia Yuanchun who was full of desire but speechless on the bed, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Jia Yuanchun's life was also difficult. When he was just a teenager, his family sent him to the palace, a place of "cannibalism".

After more than ten years of hard work, he finally got a place. However, he had only enjoyed a few days of happiness when Jia Rui usurped power and interfered in politics. The good days came to an end again.

"Sister Clan, do you have anything to say?"

Jia Yuanchun no longer has the strength to speak. He just smashes his mouth and can't make a sound.

Jia Rui was a little anxious and quickly sent for the imperial doctor.

Jia Rui still knew the person who came, it was the old doctor Wang.

It seems that the people in his hospital are still somewhat important. They know that Jia Yuanchun is related to the Jia family. If something happens if someone else is sent here, the imperial doctor will be in trouble, so he invited the old doctor Wang out.

With him here in charge and with Lao Mianzi around, Jia Rui can't do anything to the hospital.

"The Queen is no longer able to speak. Is there anything you can do?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Yuanchun on the bed, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "If we use a needle, the queen can temporarily regain some strength."

"Then why don't you use the needle quickly? What are you waiting for?"

"Master, if you use acupuncture to stimulate the queen's potential, I'm afraid it will have a big impact on the queen's condition."

Jia Rui is not a fool. He will understand what it means when he hears this sentence.

If Jia Yuanchun is delayed like this, it may last a day or two. If we use needles now to stimulate Jia Yuanchun's potential, I am afraid that Jia Yuanchun will run out of energy and return to the west in a short while.

This time Jia Rui also hesitated.

He turned his head to look at Jia Yuanchun, only to find that Jia Yuanchun's eyes were anxious and blinking constantly.

Jia Rui immediately had an idea, and then he lay down in front of Jia Yuanchun's bed and said, "Sister Clan, if you agree to use the needle, don't blink."

At this time, Jia Yuanchun opened his eyes wide when he heard Jia Rui's words and did not dare to blink.

Seeing this scene, Jia Rui finally understood what Jia Yuanchun meant. He took a step back and said to Mrs. Wang:

"Use the needle quickly."

After saying that, Jia Rui retreated behind the screen.

Dr. Wang inside, with the help of the palace maids and eunuchs, began to use needles on Jia Yuanchun.

After a while, Jia Rui heard a burst of slight crying from Jia Yuanchun inside.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Wang walked out. He saluted Jia Rui and said:

"My lord, the Queen has half an hour left. If you have anything to say, please take the time to ask."
