Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Feral Cat, Premature Birth

It was before Zhang Lanyi could search that someone from Sun Noble Consort’s sleeping quarters found her.

"Empress, the Noble Consort is about to give birth!"

Zhang Lanyi was stunned, "Wasn’t it still a few days away? What exactly is going on?"

The Palace Maid was extremely anxious: "In the afternoon, the Noble Consort encountered a black cat in the garden and got frightened. Later, she began having stomach pains, and it has been quite long now."

"Where is the Imperial Physician?!" Zhang Lanyi was somewhat anxious, "Has the Imperial Physician gone there yet?"

"Not yet." The Palace Maid was so anxious she was almost crying, "All from the Imperial Medical Bureau have been summoned to the Empress Dowager’s sleeping quarters, saying last night the Empress Dowager was frightened..."

"Nonsense! That’s utterly preposterous." Zhang Lanyi was furious, and she quickly walked outside, "There’s a potential prince in Sun Noble Consort’s belly, have the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau lost their minds!"

The Palace Maid shook her head; she was just a small Palace Maid, how could she know what the Imperial Medical Bureau was thinking.

"I’ll go there first, you take my token and call back the Imperial Physician from the Empress Dowager’s side," said Zhang Lanyi, "I don’t believe this bunch of cowards really have the guts not to come."

She strode towards Sun Noble Consort’s sleeping quarters.

The Palace Maid quickly took the token to call for people from the Empress Dowager’s side.

"How could a black cat suddenly appear in the usually serene Imperial Garden, and just happen to run into Sun Noble Consort? If this isn’t suspicious, then nothing is," said Lai Fu, unable to hold back.

Zhang Lanyi suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"Are you saying that there is something fishy about this incident?"

Lai Fu frowned, "If this had happened outside the palace, I wouldn’t find it strange, but here inside the palace, where do all these black cats come from?"

"If that’s the case, then that girl could have not possibly called the Imperial Physician over." Zhang Lanyi frowned tightly and said to Lai Fu, "You go and set off those fireworks, and then take some people over to the Empress Dowager’s side, you must ’invite’ the Imperial Physician over for me!"

When Lai Fu heard Zhang Lanyi’s words, his expression grew more serious: "Your Highness, those are the fireworks the Commandery Princess left for you to save your life."

"Saving someone is more important!" Zhang Lanyi’s gaze was resolute, and without wasting words, she walked briskly towards Sun Noble Consort’s sleeping quarters.

They couldn’t worry about so much right now.

All their hopes rested on the fetus in Sun Lianyi’s womb.

By the time Zhang Lanyi arrived, the entire hall was filled with the shrill cries of women, which brought tears to one’s eyes and made her heart wrench.

When she entered, she only saw Sun Lianyi lying on the bed with a pale face, sweating profusely.

"Sister!" Zhang Lanyi walked over, disregarding the sweat on her body, and tightly grabbed her hand, "Don’t be afraid; I have already sent someone to call for the Imperial Physician."

Sun Lianyi was in so much pain that her lips were peeling, and she couldn’t even speak a complete sentence.

With tears in her eyes, she looked at Zhang Lanyi, letting tears stream unceasingly down her cheeks.

Seeing Sun Lianyi in this state, Zhang Lanyi also couldn’t help but shed tears.

"Don’t be afraid, Lianyi, I—I’m right beside you."

Seeing how miserable Sun Lianyi looked, she red-eyed and shouted to the palace maids, "Go, prepare hot water, scissors, and also prepare medicinal soup..."

"Empress, the Imperial Physician still hasn’t come..." the palace maid, not knowing what the Empress wanted these things for, said tremblingly.

The Empress, furious at the response, slapped the Palace Maid, "You cowards, what else can I expect from you servants, didn’t you see your mistress in such pain?"

"If the Imperial Physician doesn’t come, are you just going to let your mistress die?!"

With the Empress enraged, all the palace maids present were terribly frightened.

At this moment, there was still no news from the Palace Maid sent to the Empress Dowager’s side.

Listening to the fireworks that had just gone off outside.

Zhang Lanyi took a deep breath.

"Help me loosen my clothes."

The palace maids did not understand what the Empress meant: "Empress?"

"I used to be a medic too. If the imperial physicians can’t make it, do you expect me to watch your mistress die in agony, taking two lives with her?"

Upon hearing this, the palace maids quickly came forward to help Zhang Lanyi loosen her clothes, tying her wide sleeves behind her back.

Sun Lianyi, with tears in her eyes, looked at her, her lips trembling: "Sister, sister need not go to such lengths..."

If someone were to grasp hold of this matter, using it to their advantage, it would then be difficult to clear up later.

Zhang Lanyi firmly grasped her hand, her voice steady, "You needn’t worry. In this imperial harem, I can protect you!"

Hot water, scissors, and ginger tea were quickly prepared, and Zhang Lanyi washed her hands before entering the inner chamber...

Time ticked by second by second, no one knew what was happening inside.

No one expected that it wasn’t the Imperial Physician who came, but the Yan Family’s Sixth Miss.

Miss Yan, sixth of her family, arrived covered in dust, her face streaked with sweat.

"Where is the Noble Consort?" Yan Lingzhen walked towards the inside.

Someone tried to stop her but was called off.

"That’s Noble Consort’s sister, who even checked her pulse yesterday." The speaker watched Yan Lingzhen rush through the door and told the group of palace maids outside.

Soon after Yan Lingzhen entered, cries of an infant were heard.

The palace maids were overjoyed, just reaching the entrance when they heard a palace maid inside shout, "It’s bad, the Noble Consort is bleeding profusely!"

Following that, they saw the Empress burst out with her hands covered in blood.

She was sweaty and pale, her gaze sharp, "Who dares to accompany me to the Empress Dowager to ask for help?!"

The palace maids responded resolutely, "We are willing!"

"We are willing too!"

Zhang Lanyi wiped the blood on her skirt and stepped towards the exit: "Good, today I must see what has so frightened Empress Dowager that she needs so many Imperial Physicians by her side!"

If it hadn’t been for this matter, Zhang Lanyi wouldn’t have known that the Empress Dowager, hidden deep in the palace, was also an ally of Prince Xiao Hongshen.

What a series of cunning schemes, calling away all the Imperial Physicians with a cry about wild cats!

Angered, Zhang Lanyi walked swiftly, soon reaching the Hongfu Hall.

From afar, she saw Lai Fu and two of Sun’s palace maids kneeling outside the door.

"Empress!" Lai Fu, seeing the Empress approaching, no longer kneeled but stood up.

Covered in blood, Zhang Lanyi looked at the palace maid standing by the entrance and said coldly, "Lai Fu, did you see the Empress Dowager?"

Lai Fu immediately felt assured, "Not yet."

"Not yet? I sent you here to save lives, and you two useless things kneeling at the gate think you can summon the Imperial Physician!" she said as she stepped inside.

The palace maid immediately tried to stop her: "Empress, the Empress Dowager is not available right now..."

"Lai Fu, slap her." No sooner had Zhang Lanyi spoken than Lai Fu had efficiently pulled the palace maid out and slapped her.

Seeing this, another palace maid immediately lowered her head.

Zhang Lanyi snorted coldly and walked into the grand hall...
