“Several officials came to persuade me to return He Yulin’s body to his family
today.”
The smile on Xiao Zeyu’s face froze, and his voice was filled with anger.
Su Qing laughed.
“Very good, these people are eager to jump out.
“Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, I beg you to let my teacher rest in peace.” Su Qing looked over and saw her son kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes.
“Ziqi, get up. Mother is telling you…
Su Qing pulled her son up. She couldn’t bear to see him suffer, so she whispered to him that He Yulin was still alive.
Ziqi’s eyes lit up when she heard that his teacher was alive. Moreover, this child’s brain was brilliant. Her teacher was still alive, but her mother said that he was dead. She must have her plans.
Seeing that his son understood, Su Qing smiled and rubbed his little head.
“Let’s eat!”
“Yes.”
Ziqi nodded excitedly. This time, he had an appetite. He ate big mouthfuls. It was his first time eating without paying much attention to his image. Su Qing was happy to see this.
Boys should act like boys!
After Su Qing comforted her son, she looked at Xiao Zeyu and asked,
“Shuisheng, what did you tell those ministers?
“Told them not to say anything more.”
Xiao Zeyu looked at his wife and smiled. This was the good thing about being the emperor. He could do whatever he wanted, and there was no need to explain.
“The pregnant woman died. She was suffocated to death. Tomorrow, the entire capital will spread the news that I caused the pregnant woman to eat pills.” After he finished talking about the matters in the court, Su Qing briefly told Xiao Zeyu about the medical center.
“There’s no hurry. I already have some clues.
Xiao Zeyu’s gaze was cold and sharp. The spy in the Imperial Academy of Medicine had already been found, but he hadn’t made a move on him yet. He waited for the big fish to be caught before pulling in the net.
The husband and wife were discussing how to find the spy when the eunuch on duty rushed in and knelt on the ground to report,
“Empress, the Zhang family has sent someone to ask for a royal doctor. Miss Luan Hong fell and went into premature labor. The situation is hazardous.” When Su Qing heard that Luan Hong was going into premature labor, she hurriedly walked out. Luan Hong was only seven months old now, and it was hazardous to have premature labor at this time. She put on a shawl and hurriedly said to Xiao Zeyu,
“I’ll go take a look.”
Xiao Zeyu stood up and said to Su Qing,
“Zhen will go with you!”
“No, it’s not convenient for you to go.”
Su Qing left after saying that. By the time she finished speaking, she had already left the hall.
Xiao Zeyu ordered an eunuch to go to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to procure the life-saving medicine to give to the Zhang residence if Su Qing ran out of medicine when she needed to save someone.
Su Qing felt the sedan chair was too slow, so she rode the big black horse out of the Forbidden City without waiting for the eunuchs and palace maids. Several guards with sabers followed closely behind her to protect her, but their horses were not as strong as Big Black’s feet and were left behind.
The Zhang Mansion was located on the main street of the Prince’s Mansion. At night, no other people were on this street except for patrolling soldiers. The horse hooves on the bluestone road were particularly clear on this quiet street.
Su Qing suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at the roof on the left. At the same time, an arrow was shot from the roof on the left and headed straight for Su Qing.
Su Qing lifted the horsewhip and caught the arrow. She stepped on the horse’s back and flew into the air, heading straight for the roof on the left. She raised the horsewhip and shot the arrow at the black shadow on the roof.
The black shadow saw that the arrow missed, and Su Qing flew over to catch him. He didn’t leave and just waited there. When Su Qing was about to land on the roof, a golden net fell from the sky. The net was filled with upside-down daggers. The tips of the daggers were smeared with poison. As long as they touched someone, the poison would kill them.
He thought this move would kill Su Qing, but he was shocked to find that Su Qing had wrapped the fishing net with a whip and thrown it at him. The man in black could not dodge and could only watch as the fishing net that was prepared to kill Su Qing covered him. The poisoned dagger cut through his clothes and his face, and his body instantly became numb, and he could not move.
Su Qing gave him an antidote pill before he died from the poison. The guards flew up to the roof to save the Empress, but they saw that the Empress had already caught him. The guards were embarrassed. It was like this every time. The Empress did not need their protection at all.
“Carry him back to the palace and interrogate him.
Su Qing ordered the guards, then turned around and flew down. She landed on Big Black’s horse and continued to fly toward Zhang Manor. This set of actions was clean and neat, without any delay.
The few guards were highly envious. The Empress’s skills were too valiant! Su Qing rushed to the Zhang Mansion. The door of the Zhang Mansion was open, and the butler was looking anxiously at the door.
Su Qing did not stop and rode straight into the courtyard. The butler’s eyes lit up when he saw the Empress. He ran to report to Su Qing, ” My lady, our wife fell. The midwife said that the child had yet to turn around. The situation is hazardous. If she can’t give birth, both the adult and the child won’t be able to survive.”
The butler was panting from exhaustion. In the end, he still couldn’t catch up to Su Qing. He didn’t know if the Empress had heard him.
Su Qing rode her horse into the backyard and jumped down from the horse to go straight to Luan Hong’s room. Mother Zhang held her grandson’s hand and looked anxiously at her daughter-in-law’s room. Behind her were many maids and old women, but Zhang Jinglin was nowhere to be seen.
“The Empress is here.”
Luan Hong’s maid, Ping ‘er, saw Su Qing and cried out in surprise,
“Madam is saved.”
Hearing that the Empress had arrived, the courtyard was instantly filled with kneeling people. Su Qing did not stay and directly entered Luan Hong’s room. The two midwives in the room were sweating profusely. They shouted for Luan Hong to use more strength while watching Luan Hong bleed profusely.
“You guys go out. No one is allowed to come in.
Su Qing chased them out as soon as she entered the house. Luan Hong was already so weak that she could not speak. When she saw Su Qing, her dull eyes lit up. Tears fell silently, like a wronged child seeing her mother.
“Don’t worry, I can save you.”
Su Qing comforted Luan Hong and gave her medicine to stop the bleeding. When the bleeding stopped, she gave Luan Hong an injection of anesthetic.
Luan Hong had lost too much blood and needed a blood transfusion. After she tested Luan Hong’s blood type in the room, she organized the maids to have their blood types tested. There were three people with the same blood type as Luan Hong. Su Qing drew 30OCC each, which was enough for Luan Hong. The maidservants who had their blood drawn were very nervous. They were afraid that they would die just like that. They felt dizzy. Su Qing did not have the time to explain to them. After drawing blood, she went into the house to perform a C-section for Luan Hong.
” Aunt Empress, you must save my mother.
Zhang Qirui ran over and begged Su Qing.
“Alright, you wait here obediently.”
Su Qing nodded, took the blood into the house, and rammed the door shut from the inside.
The people in the courtyard waited nervously, holding their breaths as they looked at the tightly shut door.
Su Qing went into the house to give Luan Hong a blood transfusion before taking out the surgical instruments from the system. A caesarian section was a minor operation and was not difficult, but Luan Hong’s excessive blood loss was still dangerous.
Fortunately, she came in time and saved the child. It was a girl. The child was not even old enough, and her crying was weak. After holding her for a long time, her body turned blue.
Su Qing put the child into the system and began to suture Luan Hong. In the courtyard, someone whispered something to Old Mrs. Zhang. The old lady’s expression changed..
