Chapter 522: Story of Yanxi Palace Er Qing 55

Concubine Chun raised her lips with a vicious smile: "By then the child will be born prematurely, and it will be hard to predict whether he will live or die. I wonder how she can still be so proud!"

"What? Are you scared?" Concubine Chun glanced at Yu Hu with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"I dare not." Yu Hu was so scared that she knelt down quickly, her body trembling slightly.

"Hmph, I don't think you would dare." Concubine Chun snorted coldly and no longer paid attention to the jade pot. Instead, she concentrated on fiddling with the porcelain bottle in her hand.

"This 'labor-inducing incense' is really overbearing. Just a little bit can make that little bitch suffer!" Concubine Chun said, with a vicious light flashing in her eyes.

Yu Hu was shocked when she heard this. She knew that Concubine Chun was going to attack Concubine Gui. She wanted to warn her, but she didn't dare to disobey Concubine Chun's order. She could only pray silently in her heart.

As her swollen belly became heavier, Er Qing had reached the late stage of pregnancy. The two little lives in her belly were making a lot of noise, making her unable to sleep at night and her appetite was much worse.

The imperial physician checked the imperial concubine's pulse every day and always said that the imperial concubine was expecting twins, so it would be a bit hard.

Qianlong felt distressed when he saw Erqing's thin face. After court every day, he would come to Yongshou Palace to talk to her, tell her interesting things in the court and make her happy.

He peeled a grape himself, fed it to Erqing, and said softly, "Qing'er, you have lost weight recently. Is it because the children are too noisy?"

Er Qing felt a sweet taste coming from her lips and lowered her head shyly. Qianlong's slender fingers gently lifted her chin and put the plump grape into her mouth.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just that the child is a little older and a little greedy." Er Qing said softly, with a happy smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Qianlong looked at her with pity in his eyes: "You always report good news but not bad news. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me, understand?"

"Your Majesty, I am afraid..." Er Qing stroked her bulging belly, a trace of worry between her brows. Although twins are a blessing, she heard that the risks of having twins are much greater than those of ordinary pregnant women. She couldn't imagine what would happen if something unexpected happened during childbirth...

Seeing her like this, Qianlong took her into his arms with heartache and comforted her softly, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about? Didn't the imperial physician say that you and the child are healthy and will be safe?"

Er Qing shook her head gently, tears welling up in her eyes: "I am not afraid of suffering, I am only afraid..."

She bit her lower lip and hesitated to speak.

"What are you afraid of?" Qianlong held her face and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. "You are my Qing'er, is there anything you can't say to me?"

Er Qing took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to say, "I am afraid that something might happen during childbirth. If anything happens to me... I am afraid that I will never see the emperor again..."

When Qianlong heard this, his heart tightened. Has he ever thought that he would lose her?

He hugged Er Qing tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood, and said firmly and affectionately: "No, Qing'er, you will be fine, and I won't let you be in trouble either! I will always be by your side, accompany you to welcome the arrival of the children, and watch them grow up..."

He bent down and kissed away the tears on her face, his tone so gentle that it could almost drip water, "I want to grow old with you, and have many children and grandchildren. How can you easily say the word 'what if'?"

"Your Majesty, you are so kind..." Er Qing's voice was choked with sobs. She was so lucky to receive such sincere love from the emperor.

Qianlong patted her back gently and coaxed her softly, "Go to sleep, Qing'er, I will accompany you."

Er Qing closed her eyes and fell asleep in Qianlong's warm embrace.

Qianlong gently stroked Erqing's back, again and again, as gently as if he were treating a rare treasure. Erqing slept soundly in his arms, but he was not sleepy at all. The children were about to be born, and he was both excited and worried, especially Erqing's "what if" was like a thorn, which made his heart ache.

He called Li Yu and ordered, "Pass on my order. Order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to immediately prepare the delivery room in Yongshou Palace. All items must be carefully selected to ensure that there is no risk of error! Also order the Imperial Hospital to select experienced midwives and female doctors to stay at Yongshou Palace day and night and wait for orders. If anything happens to the imperial concubine and the child, I want them all to be buried with her!"

Li Yu knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to neglect it. He knelt down and received the order: "Yes! I will do it right away! Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will convey your order without missing a word!"

Qianlong waved his hand, signaling him to leave, while he continued to stay by Erqing's bed, unwilling to take his eyes off her for a moment.

In the following days, the whole palace was filled with a tense atmosphere. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy renovating the Yongshou Palace inside and out, from the bed curtains to the carpets, all of which were replaced with new ones, and the colors were specially selected in warm tones, hoping to bring good mood to Erqing.

The Imperial Medical Bureau was in a state of panic, with all the doctors on high alert, fearing that any mistake might anger the Emperor.

At this time, Er Qing was being served breakfast by palace maids in Yongshou Palace. She could already feel the weight of the baby in her belly, and every step she took was very strenuous.

"Your Majesty, please walk slowly and be careful with your step." The palace maid carefully supported Er Qing, fearing that she might make a mistake.

Er Qing patted her hands gently, indicating that she was fine: "I'm fine, don't be so nervous. But you have been working hard with me recently, thank you for your hard work."

The little palace maid's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? It is a blessing for me to serve you. It is not hard for me at all."

Er Qing looked at her with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. Ever since she entered Yongshou Palace, this little girl had been serving her wholeheartedly, loyally, and never complaining.

"You are such a sweet-talker, girl."

Er Qing smiled and tapped her forehead: "After the child is born, I will definitely reward you well."

Upon hearing this, the little maid quickly knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Madam!"

Concubine Chun was so angry that her teeth were itching as she watched Erqing's belly getting bigger day by day. However, Emperor Qianlong protected her very tightly and his people could not even get close to Yongshou Palace.

"Damn it! What kind of magic potion did this bitch feed the emperor to make him so devoted to her!" Concubine Chun was so angry that she swept the teacup on the table to the ground. The fine blue and white porcelain immediately shattered into pieces, just like her mood at the moment, shattered.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Concubine Chun took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. She was not someone who would give up easily. In this harem, who would have the last laugh? Who could say for sure until the last moment?
