“Your Majesty!”
Eunuch Huang ventured forward, as the Emperor’s personal eunuch, he naturally knew what the Emperor had done back then, “You have hurt Consort Xian.”
His voice was sharp and thin, and the Emperor was shouted back to his senses.
Realising with a start what he had just said, cold sweat broke out on his back.
“What is the Emperor talking about?”
Consort Xiao Xian had a puzzled look on her face.
His Majesty closed his eyes and the hand that was gripping her shoulder tightly changed to patting him gently, “I am overly sad, Consort Xian should not blame me.”
“My concubine does not dare.”
Consort Xiao Xian lowered her eyebrows, hiding the disappointment in her own eyes, just that close to His Majesty telling the truth about what happened back then.
Consort Zuo was still wiping her tears, as if she hadn’t heard what His Majesty had just said, but the corners of her mouth, which was blocked by her handkerchief, curled upwards. The emperor’s loss of temper just now was not for Consort Shu, but for that incident back then, her purpose was achieved, how could she not be happy.
The emperor let go of his hand, “Pass on my decree, posthumously appoint Consort Shu as Imperial Consort and ring the funeral bell.”
……
After the eldest prince left, the eldest imperial concubine got up with him, cleaned up and ate a few pastries to fill her stomach, and sat down to wait for dawn before she went back to her mother’s house.
When the bell rang, she stood up sharply. The bells only rang at the time of the great mourning, and there was no Empress Dowager or Empress in the palace, only the Emperor.
She covered her wildly beating heart and counted one at a time, and sure enough it was twenty-seven.
“Quickly, prepare the mourning clothes, I ……”
Before the words were finished, the housekeeper trotted in, “Your Highness, His Highness sent a message back that it was the prince of Concubine Shu, and asked you to wait for news in the mansion first.”
Not His Majesty, the Grand Imperial Concubine was disappointed.
……
Naturally, the Wu family heard it, and Wu Jin sat up with a start, not even having time to put on his clothes, “Someone come!”
The maid on guard pushed the door in, “Master.”
“Have the housekeeper go to the palace gate to find out who it is.”
“Yes.”
The maid closed the door.
For some reason, Wu Jin’s heart panicked so much that he covered his chest and gasped for air.
“What’s wrong?”
Mrs. Wu Jin sat up in a hurry.
“A terrible heart attack.”
Mrs. Wu Jin got out of bed and poured a glass of warm water over, Wu Jin took it and drank it dry with his neck tilted back before he felt better.
Madam Wu Jin put the cup back and helped him smooth his chest, “Don’t worry too much, Her Ladyship Shu will be fine.”
Wu Jin opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Half an hour later, stomping footsteps sounded, Wu Jin stood up, walked to the door and opened it, the housekeeper ran to the door with a pale face and knelt down with a poof, “Master, it’s the prince of concubine Shu.”
Wu Jin’s eyes went black and he fell backwards.
The Wu family was suddenly in a mess.
……
The House of the Horse’s Consort.
The sleeping Sixth Princess suddenly had a heart palpitation and she subconsciously covered her chest.
Sun Jin was awakened by her and thought she had an upset stomach, and was just about to send for the royal doctor when the Sixth Princess grabbed his hand and shook her head at him, “I’m fine.”
The cold sweat on her forehead was wetting her hair, how could she be fine, “Don’t scare me, if there is anything uncomfortable then get the imperial doctor to come and see.”
“I’m really fine, I just had some heart palpitations just now, I’m fine now.”
Sun Jin was still unsure, the Sixth Princess pulled him back down and grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach, “Didn’t the imperial doctor say that it’s normal for this to happen when you’re older, you don’t need to be too nervous.”
The child in her belly seemed to be annoyed by the noise and stirred her little legs to show her displeasure.
Sun Jin’s hand was kicked just in time and he gently slapped it, “Brat, naughty again.”
The Sixth Princess looked on with a smile.
Sun Jin stroked her head, “It’s still early, you can sleep a little longer.”
The Sixth Princess obediently closed her eyes, and before she could fall asleep, she heard the funeral bell and her eyes snapped open, her face pale.
“No, it can’t be ……”
Sun Jin wanted to say it wouldn’t be the Emperor, seeing as only the Emperor would ring the funeral bell if he died.
The Sixth Princess tightened her grip on his hand and spoke out with difficulty, “Quickly have someone go ……”
Sun Jin hurriedly ordered down and helped the Sixth Princess get up again, called the palace maids in to serve, and he himself dressed and got up.
He had just put on his shoes when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, his heart sank, he subconsciously went to the door and saw that it was someone from the palace, his pupils shrank for a moment.
The visitor poofed down on his knees, “The prince of concubine Shu is dead!”
Sun Jin subconsciously turned around, just in time to see the Sixth Princess’ body fall backwards.
Sun Jin was so frightened that his soul flew away, “Get the imperial doctor!”
Before he could pick up the Sixth Princess, he saw crimson blood flowing out from beneath her body, and his mind buzzed.
The imperial doctor came quickly and his face turned white when he saw the condition of the Sixth Princess. The child in the Sixth Princess’ belly was still less than a month old, and in this condition, the slightest mistake would mean one body and two lives.
He took out silver needles and administered them to the Sixth Princess to wake her up.
“Horse-in-law, please also send someone to the palace to call two healers over.”
Although he was a great physician, he was also a man, so naturally he could not personally deliver the Sixth Princess.
Sun Jin’s hands were covered in blood, and his face was even whiter than the Sixth Princess’s, and with shivering lips he ordered someone to go and call.
“The princess is in a very dangerous condition, I heard that Miss Song happens to be in the capital, the sidekick might as well have someone invite her over.”
Song Wan Yue’s medical skills were known to all, not much worse than those of the imperial doctors, with her around, the Sixth Princess and the child in her belly would have a better chance of survival.
Sun Jin nodded his head in a panic and ordered someone to invite her.
When Song Wan Yue arrived, blood was being brought out of the house in pots and pans.
Sun Jin sat limply on the floor as the imperial doctor stood at the door, asking about the situation inside the house and telling the healer’s maids what to do.
When he saw her coming, his eyes lit up and he was just about to speak when Song Wangyue had already pushed the door open and entered.
Sun Jin reacted as an afterthought and got up from the ground with a start to also follow, but was pulled back by the imperial doctor, “It’s better for the sidekick not to go in and cause trouble at this time.”
Inside, the Sixth Princess was soaked to the skin, her face without a trace of blood, and she was dying.
Two palace maids took turns calling out to her, “Princess, don’t sleep, push harder, the baby will be out soon.”
The Sixth Princess clearly felt her whole body losing strength, she knew she couldn’t make it, she wanted the healers to keep the baby, but she didn’t even have the strength to open her mouth.
A pair of cold hands landed on her belly, the cold stimulation made her open her eyes slightly, and what met her eyes was Song Wangyue’s face.
She struggled to open her mouth and made a weak sound, “Keep, keep the baby.”
“If you were gone, this child would not be born to anyone.”
The Sixth Princess wanted to retort, she wanted to say that Sun Jin would like it, it was their only child.
“But if you are no longer with us, who can guarantee that Sun Jin will not marry another woman in six months or a year and have as many children as he wants, all of them precious. “
