Chapter 204 7 Princes
Lan Qingwu tried to protect her pregnancy for several months, but even so, her body never recovered.
Emperor Shenwu was busy with the affairs of Jiazhou City in the previous dynasty, and Lan Qingwu was concentrating on taking care of her pregnancy in Suowu Palace.
The situation in Jiazhou City became increasingly tense. Jiazhou City was under siege, and the city was gradually running out of food and medicine. Leng Qujing and Jiang Qi were also waiting for the best opportunity to defeat the rebels in one fell swoop.
In the Jinluan Palace of the previous dynasty, Censor Yan and other civil and military officials impeached Prince Shen for leaving his fiefdom without permission, saying that he was worthy of death! Emperor Shenwu immediately ordered the issuance of a warrant to capture Prince Shen. If he resisted, he would be killed without mercy!
At the same time, Empress Dowager Li's nephew, Li Shangqian, the legitimate son of Duke Cheng'en, was imprisoned by the Dali Temple. Empress Dowager Li fell ill in the Cining Palace, but she ordered that no one was allowed to attend to her.
That day, Nie Wushuang took Lan Qingwu's pulse again. Lan Qingwu's face was still pale. She looked at Nie Wushuang's serious expression and said, "Doctor Nie, tell me the truth. What happened to the baby in my belly?"
Nie Wushuang was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, logically speaking, after such a long period of nursing and protecting the fetus, there should have been some improvement. However, after three months, the situation is still not optimistic. If this continues, Your Majesty might give birth prematurely!"
Nie Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "There must be something wrong! Your Majesty, I want to see some of the things you use every day!"
Ru Ping and Ru Han both became nervous, and Lan Qingwu nodded: "Okay!"
Ru Ping and Ru Han took turns giving Lan Qingwu's daily necessities to Nie Wushuang and asked him to check them one by one, including towels, pillows, tea cups, shoes and socks.
Nie Wushuang quickly checked and said, "These humble officials checked it at the beginning, and now they are checking it again. There is still no problem. What exactly is the problem?"
Nie Wushuang walked back and forth in the dormitory again, turned around, and finally his eyes fell on a few books.
Nie Wushuang picked up one of the books and asked, "Madam, are these the ones you often read?"
Lan Qingwu nodded. "Yes, I've been less active lately, so I've been reading more."
Nie Wushuang's expression grew serious. He sniffed the scrolls gently, "My Lady, these scrolls are all soaked in blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines, and the dosage is quite sufficient! And the smell is masked by the scent of ink, making it extremely difficult to detect! This person's mind is so meticulous and vicious, it's truly rare!"
Lan Qingwu's back straightened unconsciously. "This person knows my temper very well. He knows that I have been bedridden for the past few months to protect my pregnancy and will definitely find some books to pass the time. So he used this vicious plan! Doctor Nie, I wonder if it is too late for me to drink the medicine to protect my pregnancy from now on?"
Nie Wushuang bowed his head and saluted: "I will do my best!"
Ru Ping was deeply shocked by this incident. She had actually allowed the Empress and the Young Master to be harmed right under her nose! Ru Ping considered it a great humiliation and tried her best to track down who had taken these medicine books!
When Emperor Shenwu learned of this, he was naturally furious and ordered Li Zhong to secretly investigate the matter. He had a vague suspicion that the concubines in the harem might have been involved in this matter.
Princess Yuhua eventually gave birth before Lan Qingwu. Her delivery went smoothly, with Emperor Shenwu and Empress Dowager Li sending in waves of maids and attendants. Princess Yuhua gave birth to a son in the dead of winter.
A few days later, Lan Qingwu gave birth prematurely due to the effects of those drugs.
The seventh prince was born during this special period!
The seventh prince was weak when he was born. Lan Qingwu looked at the cat-like baby and held him in her arms tightly. She hoped that this thin, cat-like son could survive in her arms!
