The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 1003 - 1001: The Stillbirth from Over Thirty Years Ago

It was a fully formed stillborn, except it had no breath. In terms of its facial features, body, and limbs, it was quite intact.

"This is... this..."

The Imperial Physicians were all dumbfounded.

Was it really an abortion relying solely on a dose of motherwort?

No, why would there still be a fetus in the Empress Dowager’s belly?

"Xin Lin, what on earth is happening here?"

Emperor Longteng’s face was equally grim.

Supposedly, it was supposed to be the passing of postpartum discharge, but it turned into a stillborn.

The late Emperor had been gone for many years.

If the Empress Dowager bore a child, and if Xin Lin did not provide an explanation, once the news leaked, it would inevitably shock the entire nation, and how would Emperor Longteng save face?

"I beg Your Majesty’s forgiveness, this fetus, if I am not mistaken, should be left from when the Empress Dowager was pregnant many years ago. At that time, she had been pregnant with twins along with His Majesty. Only just now, I didn’t want to frighten His Majesty and the Empress Dowager, so I said it was merely postpartum discharge."

Xin Lin confessed bluntly.

This was also why Xin Lin dared to directly let the Imperial Physicians prescribe abortion pills.

Earlier, she noticed a peculiar human form beneath the Empress Dowager’s abdomen.

Generally speaking, postpartum discharge should only be liquid and not take shape.

She touched beneath the Empress Dowager’s abdomen, which was slightly swollen and very hard.

She suspected then that the matter in the Empress Dowager’s abdomen was not just simple postpartum discharge.

When she probed with the Golden Needle, she confirmed this suspicion.

Under the effect of the herbal medicine and the Golden Needle, the Empress Dowager finally expelled the stillborn from her body.

The Imperial Physicians looked at each other, dumbfounded as well. They hadn’t expected there would still be a fetus inside the Empress Dowager and that this fetus had been carried for nearly forty years.

The stillborn had already been wrapped up.

For over thirty years, it had remained inside the Empress Dowager, perfectly preserved. Once the bloodstains on its surface were wiped off, the delicate facial features of the fetus were revealed.

The old nannies beside them remarked that the fetus looked exactly like Emperor Longteng at the time of his birth.

"Unbelievable, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of such a thing. I never imagined that I have a younger brother."

Emperor Longteng sighed, visibly moved, as he gazed at the fetus.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be brought back to life. It would be best to bury it as soon as possible and perform a transcendence ceremony."

Empress Feng was also surprised by the revelation.

She glanced at Xin Lin, feeling a pang of resentment.

No doubt, once again, Xin Lin had accomplished a significant achievement, and under these circumstances, not even Emperor Longteng or the Empress Dowager would permit any pursuit of accountability against her.

"Take it out, forge a gold coffin, and arrange the funeral properly."

Emperor Longteng rubbed his temples, feeling a wave of exhaustion.

After ensuring that the Empress Dowager would not have any further life-threatening issues, he, along with Empress Feng, Consort Zhao, and others, returned to their respective palaces.

Shi Pin, under Xin Lin’s persuasion, also withdrew with Little Xinzhuo.

After the stillborn was expelled, the Empress Dowager’s face turned very pale.

Only then did Xin Lin quietly take out Golden Honey and Jade Pure Spring, mix them in the herbal medicine, and feed it to the Empress Dowager.

After drinking the golden honey water, the Empress Dowager’s complexion became significantly rosier.

After thirty minutes, she finally regained consciousness.

"What happened? Why do I recall dreaming of my boy crying by my ear just now?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Empress Dowager opened her eyes, looking surprised as she glanced around, only to see Xin Lin smiling warmly at her.

"Your Majesty, here’s what happened..."

The old nanny beside her hurriedly recounted the events, and upon hearing them, the Empress Dowager grasped Xin Lin’s hand firmly, unwilling to let go.

"Xin Lin, we truly owe you this time."
