Chapter 312 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 96
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has arrived—"
As Su Peisheng's shrill voice rang out, the empress dowager's phoenix sedan stopped outside Yongshou Palace.
"I heard that the Imperial Concubine is about to give birth?" The Queen Mother asked anxiously before she even stepped into Yongshou Palace, with obvious concern in her tone.
Although she didn't like Nianhulu, the child who was about to be born would be her grandson after all, and Yinzhen had few children, so she still came to take a look.
"In reply to the Empress Dowager, Huan'er..." Yinzhen was interrupted by the Empress Dowager before he could finish his words.
"I know, I know, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman." The empress dowager said, and then she walked into Yongshou Palace with the help of the palace maids. Looking at Yinzhen's anxious look, the empress dowager sighed.
"Emperor, you have to stay calm too. You are the supreme ruler, you can't lose your composure."
Yinzhen nodded, but his furrowed brow and pacing feet revealed his anxiety at the moment.
In the delivery room, Chu Hua's screams became weaker and weaker. She felt like a small boat tossing in the stormy sea, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time.
Chu Huan's mother felt very distressed seeing her like this, but there was nothing she could do but hold her daughter's hand tightly.
"My queen, please try harder! The baby will be out soon!" The midwife's voice rang in her ears, but Chu Huan felt that all her strength had been exhausted.
Fortunately, she had let the dog system block most of her pain before this, but it still hurt!
Chu Hua's painful moans could be heard faintly in the delivery room, and each one was like a sharp knife cutting through Yinzhen's heart. He could no longer care about anything else, and pushed away Su Peisheng and the palace maid who were blocking his way, and walked towards the delivery room with big strides.
"Your Majesty, the delivery room is dirty, you cannot go in!" The midwife exclaimed and tried to stop him, but was pushed away by Yinzhen.
"emperor!"
The empress dowager slammed the handkerchief in her hand on the table in a rage. This imperial concubine was really good at using tricks to make the emperor, who always adhered to the rules, so flustered!
Yinzhen's steps staggered a little. He had never been so flustered before. The emperor who usually made plans and strategized, now looked like a young boy, at a loss.
He pushed aside the curtains and rushed into the delivery room. A strong smell of blood hit him in the face, stinging his nostrils.
On the bed, Chu Hua's face was as pale as paper, her bloodless lips were slightly open, and she let out intermittent moans.
Her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to her body. Her long, inky black hair was scattered messily on the pillow, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-white sheets.
"Huan'er!" Yinzhen stepped forward quickly, held Chu Huan's cold hand, and called out with concern.
Chu Huan tried hard to open her eyes. Seeing Yinzhen's anxious expression, she forced a weak smile: "Your Majesty...I'm fine..."
"Silly girl, it's already this late and you're still saying everything's fine!" Yinzhen's eyes were red, he gently wiped away the beads of sweat on Chu Huan's forehead, his voice choked with sobs.
"Don't worry, I will ask the imperial physician to do his best to save you and the child."
Chu Huan shook her head. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence because of the pain.
She held Yinzhen's hand tightly, as if she was grabbing the last straw of life, her knuckles turned white and her nails almost dug into the flesh.
Seeing Chu Hua in pain, Yin Zhen's heart was broken. He had never seen Chu Hua so vulnerable, and he had never felt so clearly that she needed him so much.
He held Chu Huan's hand tightly, put her hand against his face, and said over and over again: "Huan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere..."
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying the power to soothe people, gradually calming Chu Hua's originally panicked heart.
The midwife was anxious watching from the side, but she didn't dare to disturb the emperor and his concubine, so she could only remind them carefully: "Your Majesty, the queen needs to use force now, you..."
Yinzhen then realized his own gaffe. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, turned to the midwife and said, "Just do your best. If anything happens to Huan'er and the child, I want all of you to be buried with me!"
His tone was cold and emotionless, but it made the midwives and palace maids even more frightened. They knew that the emperor was really angry, and if anything happened to the imperial concubine and the child, none of them would survive!
The atmosphere in the delivery room suddenly became tense. Everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound, for fear of angering this moody emperor.
Encouraged by Yinzhen, Chuhuan gritted her teeth, endured the heart-wrenching pain, and tried again and again.
Chu Hua tightly grasped the mattress beneath her, her knuckles turning white from excessive force. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, leaving dark stains on the brocade quilt.
The midwife was anxious watching from the side, but there was nothing she could do. She could only keep saying words of encouragement: "Madam, try harder, the baby will be out soon!"
Yinzhen was horrified as he watched from the side. The emperor, who was usually decisive in killing people, was now panicked.
"Huan'er, Huan'er, look at me, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Yinzhen held Chu Huan's hand, wishing he could bear the heart-wrenching pain for her.
Chu Huan's consciousness was a little fuzzy, but she could still feel the warmth of Yinzhen's palm. That temperature was like the warm sun in winter, allowing her to grasp a glimmer of hope in the endless pain.
"Your Majesty..." Chu Huan opened her mouth with difficulty, her voice so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
"pain……"
Yinzhen's heart felt like it was being tugged at by someone. Looking at Chuhua's painful expression, he wished he could take her place.
"I know, I know you are in pain. Huan'er, be good and bear with it. It will be fine soon..." Yinzhen said as he put his hand to Chu Huan's mouth.
"Come, bite me, bite hard, don't be afraid of hurting me!"
Chu Huan vaguely saw the hand that Yinzhen handed over. The slender fingers had distinct joints, but the palms that usually reviewed memorials were now sweaty from nervousness. She subconsciously opened her mouth and bit down.
"Hiss—" Yinzhen took a breath, but did not pull his hand back. He held Chuhua's hand tightly, allowing her to leave deep teeth marks on his hand.
Severe pain came from his hand, but Yinzhen seemed not to feel it. His eyes were always on Chu Huan's face, his eyes were full of heartache and pity.
"Your Majesty... I'm sorry..." Chu Huan's voice was filled with tears. She opened her mouth and looked at the shocking teeth marks on the back of Yinzhen's hand, her heart filled with guilt.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yinzhen gently stroked Chuhuan's cheek with his other hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I am your husband, and I should do anything for you."
