Chapter 299 Death in infancy
"I am the Son of Heaven. I hold all the power and wealth in the world. I will definitely protect you and the child."
He immediately issued an imperial decree, announcing to the world to search for famous doctors in the world.
Unfortunately, although there were many famous doctors who took the lead in three days, they were all unqualified and good-for-nothings.
The medical skills of those wandering doctors are no match for those of the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Zhou Lingge's condition is getting worse day by day.
She could hardly get out of bed and her body gradually became weaker.
Chang Hui was in charge of checking Ping An's pulse. On the fourth day, he knelt down in front of Qin Feiling with a pale face, crying hysterically, "Your Majesty, please quickly issue an order to prepare for induced labor..."
"If we delay any further, I'm afraid the heir will really die in the womb."
"I could barely feel the heir's heartbeat during my diagnosis today."
Qin Feiling's heart completely sank to the bottom.
He staggered and nearly fell.
Eunuch Liu supported his arm with concern: "Your Majesty."
Qin Feiling's eyes suddenly turned red.
Zhou Lingge struggled to open her eyelids and reached out to Qin Feiling.
Qin Feiling choked up and moved closer, holding her hand tightly: "Ge'er, don't be afraid, I won't let anything happen to you and the child."
Zhou Lingge gasped for breath, choking as she spoke word by word, "Your Majesty... have... have Imperial Physician Chang prepare for an induced labor..."
"No matter what, I must give birth to a healthy child for Your Majesty."
Qin Feiling raised her head and forced back the tears in her eyes.
Qiao'er and Jinxin knelt beside him, almost crying their eyes out.
All the palace servants were plunged into an atmosphere of grief.
Qin Feiling hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
He was worried and told Chang Hui: "No matter what, we must ensure the Queen's safety..."
"The queen is the greatest."
Chang Hui quickly agreed and immediately began to prepare for the induced abortion.
Just in case, Chang Hui even drove Qin Feiling out of the inner hall.
Qin Feiling was reluctant to leave. He hugged Zhou Lingge tightly and said, "Ge'er, please be safe and don't leave me."
Zhou Lingge's nose felt very sore.
She held Qin Feiling's cold hands in hers. "Your Majesty, don't worry. This concubine and the child will be fine. I'm still waiting...waiting for the day when Your Majesty will put down the memorials in your hand, take me out of the palace, and travel all over the world in Dajin."
A tear spilled from the corner of Qin Feiling's eyes. He lowered his head... and gently kissed her forehead with his thin lips.
"Okay, I promise you, when you're one month old, I'll take you out of the palace and show you around... all over the beautiful mountains and rivers of my Great Jin!"
Due to the current situation...there is no time to lose.
Chang Hui bravely and firmly kicked Qin Feiling out.
Qin Feiling was locked outside the palace gate. He was not allowed to enter and could only look at the closed palace door worriedly.
No one knows what really happened in the inner temple.
The people outside the hall could only hear Zhou Lingge's painful groans.
Qiao'er brought out a basin of blood from time to time. Every time Qin Feiling saw the glaring red, his face turned pale.
Eunuch Liu was waiting there in fear, and he couldn't help but comfort Qin Feiling over and over again.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
"Your Majesty is blessed by heaven, and you and the heir will surely be safe and sound."
Qin Feiling stood at the door of the hall without moving, his eyes... only staring at the swaying silhouettes inside the hall against the backdrop of the window paper.
He didn't know how long he stood there.
Suddenly, a cry was heard from inside the hall: "It's born, it's born, it's born."
Qin Feiling's eyes lit up, and he immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.
Who knew, suddenly someone shouted in fear: "Hey, why is there no crying?"
"Yeah, why aren't you crying?"
"Doctor Chang, please come over and take a look."
"Oh no, he's not breathing."
"The body turned purple."
Qin Feiling's head was rumbling.
He grabbed Eunuch Liu's sleeve and asked, "What did they just say?"
"What's not breathing? What's purple?"
Eunuch Liu's eyes were filled with fear. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down."
Eunuch Liu had just finished speaking.
From inside came the sorrowful cries of the palace maids.
"Woooo..."
Eunuch Liu's heart suddenly sank.
With a creaking sound, the next moment the hall door was pushed open from the inside.
Chang Hui staggered out holding a swaddling baby and knelt in front of Qin Feiling.
"Your Majesty... the little prince died the moment he was born."
"The little prince...died young."
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences..."
Qin Feiling stared at the swaddling clothes in a daze... He reached out with shaking arms.
Before he could feel the breath in the cradle, layers of dizziness appeared in front of his eyes.
He staggered and couldn't help but fall backward.
Eunuch Liu quickly crawled over and supported Qin Feiling's body.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
Qin Feiling's eyes were filled with grief. He angrily pushed away Eunuch Liu's support and said, "Get out, get out..."
He whimpered softly, snatched the swaddle away, and held it tightly in his arms.
"No, this is not true. I don't believe it..."
"How could the child of me and the Queen die at birth?"
"Come here, announce to the world, anyone who can save the emperor's son will be promoted to a higher position, made a marquis, and appointed a prime minister..."
Qin Feiling rushed into the inner hall as if she had gone crazy, holding the baby in her arms.
Who knew that at this time Qiao'er's frightened voice could be heard again.
"Oh no, the queen is bleeding heavily."
"Someone, come quickly and save the queen."
That night, almost no one in the entire palace could sleep peacefully.
Everyone knew that the queen had a difficult labor. Not only did she give birth to a dead baby, but she herself also suffered from severe bleeding and almost died.
Imperial Physician Chang exhausted all his medical skills... and only just managed to save half of the Queen's life.
But the queen's health was ruined and she would never be able to bear a child again.
Zhou Shiya was in the Buddhist temple, waiting for news from the palace.
She didn't sleep a wink that night.
At dawn, Nanny Qian came in quietly from the back door of the courtyard, carrying a basket.
"Master, it's done."
Zhou Shiya stood up suddenly.
She looked at the basket of vegetables in Madam Qian's hand with burning eyes, "This... is this the child Zhou Lingge gave birth to?"
Aunt Qian nodded quickly: "Yes...it was just delivered."
"Master, you can prepare to give birth now."
Zhou Shiya was extremely excited and nodded in agreement immediately.
Then she threw the teacup beside the bed to the ground.
The clicking sound immediately alarmed the people outside.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Shiya stroked her bulging belly and fell on the bed: "I... my water broke, I should be giving birth..."
"Someone, come and help me deliver the baby quickly."
