Chapter 150 Post-event treatment
"Thank you for your hard work, my dear!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely do you justice."
Gu Junshen couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Nan Xiang's pale face.
He gently wiped the sweat beads left on Nanxiang's face with a handkerchief and promised in a gentle tone.
……
The next day, when Nanxiang woke up, her head was dizzy.
However, the first thing she did when she woke up was to ask about the prince and princess she had tried so hard to give birth to.
After confirming that the two children had fallen asleep after being fed by the wet nurse, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Kikuhira, please bring the two children to me."
Nanxiang said weakly.
Yesterday's delivery had left her body in a state of deficit.
Her original body's physical condition was not very good to begin with, and it took her such a long period of rest to make up for it.
Giving birth now has exhausted my body.
I don’t know how long it will take to get my body back in shape.
"It's the empress!"
Seeing Nanxiang waking up, Kikuhei's face showed some relief, and he immediately walked towards the direction where the prince and princess were.
Soon, Kikuhei brought two wet nurses to Nanxiang's bedside.
"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"
The two shouted in unison.
"No gift!"
Nanxiang curled the corners of her mouth and replied softly.
"How are the two children?"
"Your Majesty, the prince is in good health. He has eaten and drunk a lot of milk. He has fallen asleep."
As the prince's wet nurse said this, she immediately brought the child to Nanxiang.
Nanxiang looked at the little guy with his mouth slightly open and his pink tongue exposed, still sucking milk, and the smile on his lips grew wider.
"What a glutton!"
Nan Xiang couldn't help but speak softly, and then said to the other nurse holding the child
"Let me see the princess!"
"It's the empress!"
Nanxiang looked at her daughter in the wet nurse's arms, and the love on her face was beyond words.
Her face was small and delicate with pink and tender skin and slightly long eyelashes. It was obvious that she had inherited Gu Junshen's long eyelashes.
When she grows up, she will definitely be a beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people!
Afterwards, Nanxiang held the two children in her arms for a while before letting the wet nurse take them back to rest.
Now that she has just given birth, she is particularly weak, so she would feel more at ease if she lets a professional wet nurse feed her child.
These two wet nurses were carefully selected by her from among many wet nurses.
Of course, background checks are essential. There is nothing wrong with the backgrounds of these two people, and the relationships between the characters have also been studied for a period of time.
Only after obtaining unanimous approval from Lan Ji and Aunt Ruolan did Nan Xiang finally decide on the two of them.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
At this time, Gu Junshen was flipping through a book and writing something on the paper on the table.
He was naming his two children, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already decided on several names, and he didn't like any of them, so in the end he wanted to do it himself.
While he was busy, Liu Sheng came up to him with a serious look on his face.
"Your Majesty! All those maids hanged themselves."
As Liu Sheng spoke, his tone was obviously filled with emotion.
Gu Junshen originally wanted him to go to Changshou Palace to arrest these maids who didn't know the rules and interrogate them.
But when he arrived at the Changshou Palace, all he saw were the bodies of these maids.
He couldn't help but have a further understanding of the Queen Mother's methods.
If anyone has lost their usefulness to her, they will inevitably die...
"Hanging himself? The Queen Mother is truly cruel!"
Gu Junshen snorted coldly after hearing this, and did not feel surprised at all.
After so many years of getting along, he already knew what kind of person the Queen Mother was.
But she should never have done anything to his children and women. She had overstepped her boundaries.
"Take this imperial edict to Jingren Palace."
Gu Junshen's brows gradually became darker.
The anger in his heart had reached its peak. He threw the imperial edict that had been prepared on the table to Liu Sheng and gave orders.
Liu Sheng shuddered immediately and understood what Gu Junshen wanted to do.
This is an attack on the queen.
"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
Liu Sheng thought of something and said it immediately.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Junshen raised his eyes and glanced at him.
"There may be someone else who wanted to do something indecent to the imperial concubine yesterday."
Liu Sheng's words made Gu Jun stunned for a few seconds, his brows furrowed deeply.
"The eunuchs of Wangyueju caught a palace maid trying to attack him in warm water in the kitchen. After the imperial physician examined her, he found out that this was a drug that could affect blood coagulation. If a woman who was giving birth came into contact with it, she would bleed profusely..."
After hearing this, Gu Junshen was startled and felt that what happened yesterday was much more complicated than he had imagined.
If these people had succeeded yesterday, the consequence would have been that Nan Xiang would have died, or the child would have died.
As Gu Junshen thought so, veins popped out on his forehead and scarlet began to appear in his eyes.
"But what did you ask?"
"The two maids finally bit their tongues and committed suicide."
Liu Sheng said this and shook his head helplessly.
Gu Junshen exhaled heavily and quickly calmed down.
Fortunately, Nanxiang was not in trouble, otherwise he, as the emperor, would be to blame.
"Let's read the imperial edict first."
Gu Junshen waved at Liu Sheng in annoyance.
……
Chaoyang Palace.
At this time, Concubine Xian was sitting on the couch, gritting her teeth and holding the needlework in her hands tightly.
He glared at Luqi who was kneeling on the ground.
"Failed again? What do you do for a living?"
"You ruined such a good opportunity."
The virtuous concubine scolded Luqi angrily.
She had long known that the Queen Mother would definitely do something when Nanxiang gave birth.
After all, if Nanxiang gave birth to a prince, it would inevitably affect the position of the queen and the rule of the Queen Mother Chen's family in the harem.
She didn't intend to do anything excessive. She just wanted to make Nanxiang's delivery process more difficult. It would be even better if she died during delivery.
But she didn't expect that Nanxiang had considered so much and even arranged guards in the kitchen preparation area.
……
Outside Jingren Palace.
Liu Sheng held the imperial edict in his hand, but his palms were already sweating.
He just carefully glanced at the contents of the imperial edict.
This content really shocked him.
The content of the imperial edict turned out to be that the emperor wanted to confiscate the queen's phoenix seal and imperial decree.
These two things are symbols of the queen's real power in the harem. If they are taken away.
This means that the queen no longer has real power in the harem, and the position of queen is just an empty shell.
Gu Junshen's intention was very clear, he wanted to depose the queen, but considering the current situation in the court, he thought about it and withheld the phoenix seal and the imperial edict as a punishment.
But even so, it is still a very heavy punishment for the queen...
At this time, Queen Chen, who was drinking tea in the palace, felt a little uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
The fact that Nanxiang gave birth to the prince and the Queen Mother's failure in her work always lingered in her mind and could not be shaken off.
"Your Majesty! Eunuch Liu Sheng brought an imperial edict! It seems like the Emperor has something to announce!"
Caizhi's report made the queen's heart skip a beat and she immediately felt something was wrong.
