"Empress,
The Emperor has led the Lu Army to attack the palace. Now, they are attacking the capital. "The leader of the city patrol knelt in front of the Empress, very worried.
"Where's the Crown Prince?" The Empress frowned slightly and asked softly.
"The Crown Prince didn't wait for the Emperor.
He directly drank the poisoned wine.
He killed himself. "The leader of the city patrol said.
"Oh, it's a decision my son would make. Forget it,
You can leave. Take off your official's robe now and mix in with the people who want to leave the city. You might be able to save your life. "The Empress said softly.
The leader of the city patrol moved his lips.
He turned around and left.
"Empress," the old mama beside the Empress had tears in her eyes.
"Mama,
Go and tell the Crown Princess and the others.
They should know about this news. "The Empress said.
"Yes," the mama knew.
The Empress was not feeling well now. The Empress only had the Crown Prince as her son.
He was the only one she could rely on.
The Crown Prince was the most important person in her heart. Originally, the Emperor was also the most important person in the Empress's heart.
However,
The concubines in the imperial harem came in one after another.
The princes were also born one after another.
The Empress's heart for the Emperor had long died, so the Crown Prince was the only one in her heart. Now that the Crown Prince was gone, how could the Empress accept such bad news.
After the mama left, the Empress let the other palace maids in her palace leave. She wanted to be alone.
The Empress returned to her bedroom and took out the scissors she had collected earlier. She cut the sheets on the bed into strips and turned them into silk cloth. She threw the silk cloth towards the beam of the house.
When the Crown Princess, the Crown Princess, and the Crown Prince's concubines heard this news, everyone felt dizzy.
Miss He clenched her fists and hurried back to her room. She held the hand of a palace maid she had saved before and asked sincerely, "Can I believe you?"
"This servant's life was saved by the Concubine. I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for you." The palace maid said with tears in her eyes.
Miss He carried her daughter over. Seeing that the mama had already fed her a calming soup and was about to fall asleep, her tears flowed down. Miss He said to the palace maid, "Something happened to the Crown Prince. Take her out of the palace and raise her well. The palace is in a mess now, so it's a good time to sneak out."
"Where's the Concubine?" the palace maid quickly asked.
Miss He smiled miserably and shook her head. "I can't leave."
"Concubine." The mama put the money in a bundle and brought it over.
"Give them to Little Zhi. These valuables were all sent over by my family. They don't have the palace's logo on them, so you can use them without worry. However, money is tempting, so don't show these valuables to others. If you really have nowhere else to go, you can go to Ningguo Province to try your luck." Tears welled up in Miss He's eyes. She hoped that her aunt would take pity on her and save her daughter.
"Yes." With tears in her eyes, the little palace maid took the soft clothes and the child. Under the guidance of the mama, she left the palace.
Seeing that the palace maid had left, Miss He turned her gaze to her beloved cat. Her beloved cat had also eaten the calming soup. Miss He picked up her beloved cat and kissed it on the cheek. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." She handed her beloved cat to the mama. The mama tied a rope around the cat's neck, then poured the oil that Miss He used to comb her hair on the corpse and burned the cat.
Naturally, the cat wasn't completely burned, and only its bones were left. The mama placed the cat on the small bed where Miss He's daughter usually was. Finally, she poured the oil all over the room and ignited it. The whole room was on fire.
"Crown Princess, the West Hall is on fire. No one from the Concubine He's side came out." The Crown Princess's servant came over to report.
"She's smart." The Crown Princess drank the poisoned wine in her hand. The winner was king, and the loser was in the wrong. The fate of the womenfolk wouldn't be good. Rather than waiting for the Emperor to drink a cup of poisoned wine, she might as well be tactful. Anyway, she had no children and no worries.
At this time, another palace maid came and reported, "The Empress committed suicide."
The Crown Princess's lips curled up slightly, and a trace of black blood flowed out. The weather today was really good.
After the Empress and the Crown Princess passed away one after another, the palace was in complete chaos. Some of the palace maids and eunuchs who wanted to steal the jewelry went into hiding, but more of them wanted to escape from the palace. Because of the disappearance of the city guard, the city guards were not so strict. The entire capital was in complete chaos. Xiao Zhi, who was carrying her child, followed them out of the palace.
The Crown Prince's other concubines also wanted to escape with their children, but people like them were targets for the palace maids and eunuchs. Some of the eunuchs even defiled them, and the Crown Prince's children were also killed.
The Emperor brought the Lu Di army into the capital to control the chaotic situation in the capital and the palace. When he learned that the Empress and the Crown Princess committed suicide, the Crown Prince's concubines burned themselves, and the other concubines and concubines died, the Emperor realized that the Crown Prince didn't have any children in the end.
When Jia Jing returned home, Madam Jia He had already given birth for three days, but the child hadn't been born yet. Lai Er, who was tied up at the side, hadn't eaten or drunk anything for three days, and he didn't have the strength to struggle anymore.
"Master, I didn't protect Madam well." Jia Zhen seemed to have found her backbone after seeing Jia Jing, and she cried sadly.
"What's going on?" Jia Jing asked.
At this time, Jia Zhen was crying and couldn't explain clearly, so Xia Lu explained on behalf of Jia Zhen. After hearing this, Jia Jing hurriedly walked to the delivery room. When he reached the front of the delivery room, he didn't stop and directly barged in.
When the midwife saw Jia Jing, she thought, How can a man enter such a dirty house? Isn't he afraid of offending someone? The midwife wanted to chase him away, but Jia Jing sat down beside Madam Jia He's bed and said, "Master is back. Don't worry, Master will protect you and give birth to the child. Our family will be fine."
"Master." Madam Jia He had been in labor for three days, and she was so old that she didn't have any strength. When she saw Jia Jing, a smile appeared on her face. "You're back."
"Yes, Master is back." Jia Jing held Madam Jia He's hand and said, "Eat something and give birth to the child." Jia Jing took the soup that Mama Gui was holding and fed Madam Jia He spoonful by spoonful.
Madam Jia He looked at Jia Jing and ate spoonful by spoonful.
Perhaps it was because she ate the soup, or perhaps it was because Jia Jing was back, Madam Jia He seemed to suddenly have strength.
"Master, please go out. I will give birth." Madam Jia He didn't want Jia Jing to continue staying in this house. Originally, Jia Jing's entry was already against the rules.
Jia Jing nodded and didn't continue to insist. To be honest, although Lu Dijun controlled the capital, he still had a lot of things to do, whether it was in the mansion or in the court.
As soon as Jia Jing went out, the servant from Xi Province came to report that Jia Daishan had returned to Xi Province and suddenly collapsed.
Jia Jing had no choice but to ask Jia Zhen to stay here while he went to Xi Province to check on the situation.
After all, something happened to Jia Daishan, so the imperial physician came quickly. "Old Duke, you must be exhausted these days. When you were young, your hidden illness relapsed. You need to rest." The imperial physician shook his head. He had treated many old men who were conferred nobility because of their military achievements. They looked healthy on the surface, but in fact, there were countless hidden injuries on their bodies. It was fine if they didn't fall ill on normal days, but once they fell ill, it would be really serious. Back then, Ning Guogong fell ill and passed away not long after. Therefore, their titles were exchanged with their lives.
Jia Xie expressed that he understood and asked the imperial physician to do his best to treat them.
After Jia Daishan's illness was under control, Jia Jing returned to the East Mansion. Madam Jia He hadn't given birth yet, so Jia Jing only felt exhausted and aged a few years in an instant.
When dawn broke, Madam Jia He finally gave birth to a boy who had been suffocating in his mother's belly until he turned purple.
Fortunately, the situation was under control in the capital. The imperial physician was already waiting here. As soon as the child came out, he hurriedly treated the child.
"The child is blessed and there isn't much of a problem. However, it's not a natural birth after all. He has been suffocating in his mother's belly for too long, so his body is congenitally weak. He must be carefully taken care of." The imperial physician heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at the infant in swaddling clothes, he thought to himself that this child's life was really tough.
Mama Gui ran out and said anxiously, "Not good, Count. Madam, madam is bleeding heavily."
"What?" Jia Jing blacked out. If Jia Zhen hadn't been watching over him, Jia Jing might have fallen to the ground.
Jia Jing shook his head and tried to regain his consciousness. He handed the child to Xia Lu and quickly walked into the delivery room.
"Master, you're here." Madam Jia forced a smile.
"Yes, I'm here. You've given birth to another son for me. You have to get better quickly. He's still waiting for you to find a wife for him." Jia Jing's tears flowed down as he spoke. Jia Jing knew very well what bleeding meant. It meant that there was a high possibility that he couldn't be saved.
Xia Lu held the child and looked at Madam Jia He, who was lying on the bed. She turned her back and tears kept flowing down. In modern times, it was very dangerous for a woman to bleed heavily during childbirth. However, with the medical standards here, there was no blood transfusion and no effective treatment. Bleeding heavily was already a step into hell.
Jia Zhen, who was standing at the side, also cried uncontrollably.
"Bring the child over and let me see." Madam Jia He said weakly.
Xia Lu quickly wiped the tears on his face and handed the child to Madam Jia He.
Madam Jia He looked at the thin and small child with bruises on his body. Her eyes were filled with tears. She reached out and gently touched the child's face. She thought to herself, 'I'm sorry. I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you as you grow up. I won't be able to see you get married and have children. However, with Master and your elder brother around, you'll be an outstanding child, right?'
The midwife at the side was extremely anxious. The bleeding couldn't be stopped at all. They were afraid that this good thing would turn into a funeral.
After looking at her youngest son, Madam Jia He turned her gaze to Jia Zhen. She smiled and said, "Zheng 'er, don't blame yourself. You've done well enough. It's all my fault. I was too careless." Madam Jia He seemed to have suddenly regained her strength. She grabbed Jia Zhen's hand and said, "You have to be well. Take good care of Master and your younger brother for Madam.
Mmm. "" Madam, you'll be fine. "Jia Zhen sobbed.
