Chapter 406 The child is gone
Chapter 406 The child is gone
Inside the princess's tent, the atmosphere was almost frozen. Everyone had a solemn expression on their faces, not even daring to breathe.
Especially the imperial doctors, whose expressions were solemn and brows were furrowed, and there was no trace of smile on their wrinkled faces.
After taking the pulse, they whispered to each other, their worry and solemnity were evident.
The maids and nannies felt as if the sky had fallen. Although they dared not make a loud noise, they all wiped their tears quietly.
Shun Anyan stood aside, his eyes red and tears welling up in his eyes, but he tried hard to hold them back.
Lin Mingyan looked over the crowd at Wen Xian lying on the bed. His face, which was once as beautiful as a flower, now looked sickly pale, with a furrowed brow as he fell into a coma.
She was already heartbroken when she saw the Fourth Master's injuries just now. How could Shun Anyan not feel heartbroken when she saw Wen Xian like this?
The imperial physicians discussed the patient's condition in low voices. Every shake of the head and every low sigh was like a sharp blade piercing Shun Anyan's heart.
He wished it was him lying on the hospital bed now, and didn't want Wen Xian to suffer such a terrible crime.
Lin Mingyan knew that the worst guess had come true. Her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Princess Wenxian loves children so much that she wants to take Honghui and the others home to raise them.
She had told her countless times how nice it would be to have a child, and imagined how the children's laughter would fill every corner of the princess's mansion.
Her joy and longing seemed to be just yesterday, but now, all of this has turned into nothing.
Lin Mingyan looked at Wen Xian lying on the hospital bed, unaware of all this, and her eyes gradually became moist and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Shun Anyan turned around when he heard the voice and looked up, seeing her walking in wiping her tears, her lips trembling slightly.
He opened his mouth again and again, and finally squeezed out a sound, calling out "Fourth Sister-in-law" in a thick crying voice.
But just these two words seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the sadness that he had been suppressing burst out in an instant.
His throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't say the following words. If he said one more word, he, a grown man, might burst into tears.
Lin Mingyan took a deep breath, trying to suppress the shock and bitterness in her heart, and asked softly, "How is Wen Xian?"
Shun Anyan usually doesn't talk much and has a cold and hard personality.
But at this moment, the perseverance of the past is completely gone.
He lowered his head slightly, sighed heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "Alas, the child... the child is gone."
After saying that, he clenched his fists, as if suppressing the pain surging in his heart.
But the sadness in his heart could not be hidden and spread throughout this small tent.
Shun Anyan stood there, looking a little lonely, his eyes full of loneliness and self-blame.
He has been looking forward to this child for several years.
However, the treasure came quietly and disappeared just as quietly.
hatred!
I hate it!
But now I don’t know who to hate.
Shun Anyan clenched his fists tighter and tighter, his nails almost digging into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
He was only thinking about the scene at that time, blaming himself for not being able to protect Wen Xian and the child.
If I had been more alert and reacted faster, perhaps everything would have been different.
Whenever he thought of this, the regret in his heart surged like a tide, almost drowning him completely.
Lin Mingyan knew that he was confused at the moment and would not be able to get anything out of him by asking, so she quickly walked to Wen Xian's bedside and asked the imperial physician.
The doctors who came to treat Wen Xian were all experienced imperial physicians close to Empress Dowager Xiaohui, so their medical skills were naturally excellent.
But at this time, several imperial doctors looked serious, with beads of sweat on their foreheads. It was obvious that Wen Xian's condition was not optimistic.
Hearing Lin Mingyan's question, the leading doctor, Zhang, shook his head and said, "Reporting to the Fourth Lady, the princess's current condition is truly worrying."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his face looked equally bad.
Although the princess's wound has been treated and the bleeding has stopped, she is temporarily out of danger.
But the princess first fell off the horse, and then the frightened horse kicked her in the lower abdomen.
Then, the most serious thing was that he was stabbed through by an assassin's sword.
The princess is extremely precious, and any injury could cost her life.
Not to mention that these three injuries occurred at the same time, they were simply fighting against the King of Hell for people.
When Lin Mingyan heard the imperial physician's description of Wen Xian's injuries, her heart skipped a beat.
Then she remembered that Wen Xian had died in the summer of that year in history, and her heart was shrouded in a layer of gloom.
She was wondering how Wen Xian, who was obviously in good health, could have died of a sudden illness after a trip outside the border.
So this is the cause of this disease!
I think a similar thing happened at this time in history, but the assassination was eventually covered up.
When Lin Mingyan thought about the way Emperor Kangxi handled things, she began to feel sorry for the Fourth Master and his sister. They probably suffered in vain this time!
But these thoughts are useless, they are just fleeting thoughts that pass by in a flash.
Wen Xian was the most important thing at the moment. She calmed herself down and asked, "Doctor Zhang, please don't keep me in suspense. How is the princess doing now?"
Doctor Zhang said, "Let's talk about the miscarriage first. This miscarriage has caused great damage to the princess's body. She has suffered a severe loss of energy and blood, and her vitality has been greatly damaged."
"At this moment, the princess is still unconscious and her pulse is very weak. She needs careful nursing for a period of time, and we must always pay attention to whether she will develop other symptoms. But...but it is really difficult for us, the old minister, to say how her recovery will be in the future." The imperial physician had a worried look on his face and sighed slightly as he spoke. The heaviness in his words was evident.
The imperial physician also said that the princess's uterine cavity had been severely damaged by the horse's hooves, and that the child could definitely not be saved.
What's more serious is that the princess may suffer from health problems and damage to her uterine cavity, which may affect her future offspring.
"That is to say, if no miracle happens, the princess may never be able to give birth again in her lifetime." The imperial physician said, shaking his head and sighing.
They were responsible for the Empress Dowager's safety and pulse on a daily basis, and met Princess Wenxian frequently, so naturally they had a good relationship.
Everyone knows that from the Empress Dowager to the princesses, everyone hopes to get pregnant as soon as possible.
Now, alas...
This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly making the already depressing atmosphere even more depressing.
Doctor Zhang's face was filled with worry, and his voice was heavy and anxious as he continued, "Fourth Lady, Prince Consort, there is an even more pressing matter at hand."
"If the sword wound on the princess's abdomen isn't properly treated and subsequently becomes infected, the consequences will be disastrous. She might even... lose her life!"
