If Ao Yuejiao knelt in front of the palace of the King of Chu, the cold rain poured on his legs, which had lost consciousness because of the sixty military sticks, and the blood was constantly carried away by the cold rain that fell from the wound, and his face was as pale as paper, and his face was colorless.

Even this did not bend his straight bee waist in the slightest.

There was no one to order.

He stumbled and fell, and he had to get up on his own side.

Lu Yi wanted to step forward to help him, but he pushed him away, "Captain Pontus is not so weak!"

"Yes, eldest son!"

Lu Yi withdrew his hand.

A pair of wolf-like eyes, flashing a fierce light, Yue Jiao said in a deep voice, "Isn't the king going to give birth to a child? Then give that person as a congratulatory gift to the king when the time comes, and say that it was my good second uncle who let him go!"

"Then we have to give our daughter a big gift!"

"Thank them for all they have done today. ”

"Yes!"

……

The heavy rain was falling, and Mi Zhao nervously helped Princess Wu to stand under a wet corridor and asked, "Mother, is this really the case?"

"If your brother is not born again, this trend will really go! Although the king today protects the position of the prince of Mihuang, it is because your brother was not born, if he is born early, the voice of the court supporting the prince will be more firm. Princess Wu gritted her teeth and said, and when the words fell, she suddenly pushed away the hand that Qi Zhao was supporting.

"Then concubine, you be careful, don't get hurt. ”

Mi Zhao, who was standing behind her, answered softly, but his eyes were fixed on her and he walked towards a small beach under the long corridor in front of him.

Soon, there was news in the Purple Smoke Palace that Princess Wu had slipped and slipped in the palace at night because of heavy rain and entered the delivery room in advance.

In the delivery room, there was a hoarse scream of Princess Wu, and outside the delivery room, the King of Chu, who heard the news and came in a hurry, was blocked outside the palace by Mi Zhao, "Father, the mother concubine is giving birth, you can't go in!"

"Good...... Na Zhao'er, how about you hurry up and go in and see your mother?" King Chu anxiously looked at the dimly lit delivery room and said worriedly.

"Well, don't worry, father!"

"Mother, I will definitely be auspicious and give birth to my younger brother safely. ”

Qi Zhao comforted the King of Chu lightly, and ordered Aunt Li to welcome the King of Chu to the side of the dormitory to rest, and then took Qin Hong alone to push open the Zhu Door of the delivery room, lifted the heavy bed curtains, and watched the lying mother grasp the sheets in pain, took her hand, and shouted, "Zhao'er, the mother is so painful......

"Mother, don't be afraid, didn't you just say that as long as my brother is born early, we will have no worries for the rest of our lives, and you will never have pain again at that time......"

Mi Zhao held her hand tightly, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly.

"Well, Zhao'er......"

Princess Wu, who was lying on the phoenix bed, nodded vigorously, her head was covered with sweat, and the midwife on the side also asked Princess Wu to exert herself.

……

In the Ziyan Palace, the midwife who had been arranged a long time ago looked at Princess Wu, who had not yet given birth after midnight, and said worriedly, "Third princess, it's not good, the princess fainted in childbirth." ”

A lightning bolt swept outside the window, and Mi Zhao, who was resting on the couch in front of the window, suddenly opened a pair of eyes, and crossed a white light like a shock, his willow eyebrows sank, and he said unhappily, "Women don't give birth like this, my mother is old, and it is normal for her to have a difficult birth......

I don't know how long it took, but a voice finally sounded in the heavy curtain: "Born, born......"

But the midwife who came out with the child in her arms turned pale and the joy of the new life was replaced by frustration, saying, "It's just that the princess gave birth to a princess......

Then she slapped the child vigorously with both hands, but the child did not react for a long time, and said anxiously to Qi Zhao, "Princess, this child is still a dead baby...... What to do?...... If the mother found out, she would definitely be heartbroken......"

It is unlucky to have a child die in the palace.

Especially all of them are to be buried together.

Qi Zhao got up and glanced at Qin Hong, and said with a calm smile, "It's okay, this princess has already prepared." ”

Qin Hong pushed open the door of the cubicle, and walked out with a sleeping child in the arms of a nurse, the little baby boy, carved in pink, very cute, strange is that there are two or three points between the child and Princess Wu's eyebrows, "No, if you take this child out, just say that my mother gave birth to a son." ”

"How does this work?"

The midwife first felt scared, and her hand holding the child was almost unsteady when she heard this, "Isn't this confusing the royal bloodline." ”

"Then you want to bury the dead little princess?" Qi Zhao looked at the midwife who refused, and said in a slightly sharp voice.

"You have thought about it, whether you want to live or die, and this princess will fulfill you tonight. ”

The midwife and palace people in the first room, as well as Aunt Li and other personal palace people, thought for a long time, and replied on their knees, "The slaves and maids want to live." ”

"So how, got it?"

Qi Zhao looked at the midwife and Aunt Li and asked.

The midwife tightened the young baby boy in her arms, nodded, and then cleaned up the expression on her face, and at the same time, Qin Hong ordered the dead baby girl to be taken away, and took out a jade box that seemed to have been prepared for a long time and put it away.

Aunt Li Mu Ran watched the third princess doing all this, and a trace of awe suddenly appeared in her eyes.

That kind of look used to be only available when looking at the former Princess Wu, but now looking at her with even more awe, following the midwife to carefully hold the child.

They pushed the door and walked out of the delivery room, and said to Zhao Chang, who had been waiting outside all night, "Lord Changshi, the princess gave birth to a little son, and my Chu country is very happy." ”

"Really?"

Zhao Changshou was taken aback at first, and then a touch of joy gathered in his eyes, and then a congratulatory voice resounded outside the delivery room, "Congratulations to the princess for getting a son! Congratulations to the king for having a son! Congratulations to my Chu State for finally having an heir!"

Outside the hall suddenly sounded a congratulatory voice, standing in the hall, Mi Zhao slightly hooked his lips and chuckled, looking at the unconscious mother concubine on the phoenix bed and holding a cool smile that seemed to be nothing, and then bent down and pulled the brocade quilt on her body lightly, and said softly to her, "Mother, it's really hard for you, and you will work hard for the rest of our lives." ”

"Imperial Doctor Fang, do you know how to deal with the aftermath?" As the words fell, Qi Zhao got up and gently landed on Imperial Doctor Fang's chest.

"Please rest assured, Princess, Fang Yuan knows how to sit. The young imperial physician grabbed her soft and smiled back.

"Then the princess will take care of her brother first. ”

Qi Zhao smiled, Tingting walked out of the inner hall in a curling manner, Imperial Doctor Fang looked at the graceful figure in the distance, and then looked at the middle-aged concubine who was haggard after giving birth on the phoenix bed, walked to the incense burner on the side, took out a piece of wrapped spice from his arms and threw it into the incense burner, and then went out to order someone to decoct the medicine, and Princess Wu, who had just finished giving birth on the bed, fell asleep, and the jade hand that was holding the brocade quilt slowly let go......

A group of black iron and cold armor tiger guards pushed open the princess's dormitory with a "touch", rushed in, and sent all the female doctors and women who gave birth to her on the road to accompany the princess to be buried.

The entire palace, but the time of two pillars of incense, "the news that the princess gave birth to a little son but died in childbirth" spread throughout the palace.

In the Purple Smoke Palace, the King of Chu was heartbroken when he held his newborn child, "Lone's concubine has accompanied Lone's life, but she can't accompany Lone to the end, and Lone can't even give you a posterity before your death...... I'm sorry for you......"

In the nineteenth year of King Chumu, Princess Wu, who was honored as the first emperor, died after giving birth to a son.

When he dies, he will spend forty years.

After his death, he was posthumously crowned queen.

Overnight, the king of Chu, who was still singing about the gentleman and the sun during the day, seemed to be old, and the imperial doctor said that the king of Chu was too sad, the old disease recurred, his legs were not good, and his eyes were cloudy.

The Purple Smoke Palace, which was prosperous forever in the past, seemed to have fallen silent overnight with the death of her master's incense.

There is no longer the singing and dancing all night in the past, there is no longer the laughter of the king of Chu, and even the wisteria flowers planted on the tortuous corridor have fallen with the wind and rain overnight, and the entire Ziyan Palace has been hung with plain white white flags for a time, comparable to the Lenghua Palace.

The palace people who were still alive walked in it more carefully.

The fear disturbed the only king of Chu in this palace.

The king of Chu has been half-asleep and half-awake, still in a dream.

He couldn't believe that Princess Wu, who had been with him for most of his life, just left him alone, leaving behind the newborn child, in the past, King Wu's voice and smile kept reappearing in front of his eyes, but once he woke up, he only saw a hall of vegetarian.

In the cradle in the distance, the newborn little boy was disgusted by the king of Chu and handed over to the grandmother in the palace to take him, with a pair of charming eyes that looked very similar to Princess Wu, smiling eyebrows and smiles, and from time to time made a few "ah-ah" sounds.

The nurse was afraid that she would startle the king of Chu, so she had to hold him farther away.

Because there have been several waves of palace people before and after, because they did not take good care of the princess before her death, they were sent to the princess for burial.

At midnight, Mi Huang was woken up from the nightmare by a thunderclap, and the palace was full of exclamations from the palace maids, and she woke up sweating profusely to hear the news that Princess Wu had given birth to a child in advance.

Si Qin said to her, "Princess, the princess has already given birth to a son, but in the end, her physical strength is exhausted, and the king has deposed the foreign court for three days after tomorrow. ”

"Got it. ”

She sat up slowly with Siqin's hand, touched the child in her belly, and showed a trace of worry on her face, probably because she had not rested for three days, coupled with a night of wind and rain, this child was particularly kicking this night.

But now everything is in one piece.

It made her feel very uneasy.

Hearing that Cheng Jia was coming, Mi Huang immediately changed his clothes and went to see him after washing up.

The two talked briefly for a while, and Cheng Jia urged her to visit the situation of the king of Chu first, and by the way, mourn for Princess Wu, after all, although the princess is dead now, she really gave birth to a son, and they have to make other plans.

When Mi Huang rushed to the palace of the king of Chu, except for the continuous rain curtain outside the palace, there was no one, but the lights in the hall were flickering, reflecting the figures of two people, one was weak, the wind and candle were old, the other was tall, like a wolf and a tiger, among them, there was a child's heart-rending cry resounding in this rainy night.

She wanted to enter the palace to see the King of Chu, but was stopped outside by Zhao Changshi, "Princess, the king is heartbroken now, and no one can see him." ”

"Then Zhao Changshou will help me greet my father and ask him not to worry too much. Mi Huang clenched his fists and finally gave up.

"Yes, lady. ”

……

Because of the death of Princess Wu, the major clans who heard the news sent people into the palace overnight to ask for funerals, and even Ruo Ao's family stopped asking about Yue Jiao, and had to collect some flowers in the mansion and put on plain clothes, which was the order of the King of Chu, so that all the whole Ying were mourning for Princess Wu.

It's a glorious afterlife.

As a result, the Outer Dynasty was suspended for three days.

……

Late at night, the Ruoao clansmen, who had been waiting for Yuejiao for most of the night, did not wait for him, but waited for someone in the palace to report: "Princess Wu gave birth to a little son, and she is gone." ”

The door of Chu Zhongtang was wide open, and the candle flame swayed with the entry and exit of the visitors, looking at the back of the people who came to leave taking advantage of the night rain.

Ling Yin Zi said in his heart: "The king really gave birth to a son." ”

This news made the thoughts of the Ruo Ao clan float, especially the Zhao family in the third room.

Knowing that it was impossible to wait for Yuejiao tonight, in the end, Yin Ziban could only let everyone go back to rest, and Ruo Ao Ziyong and Ruo Ao Tan were arranged in the guest rooms of the main courtyard.

Ruo Ao Tan endured all night, and finally asked, "Zi Yong, do you understand what happened tonight?"

Ruo Ziyong was served by the beautiful maid, Hang Erlang lay down on the ground, and said leisurely, "Clan Elder, what else do you not understand about tonight?"

"The princess was assassinated, who benefited the most?"

"In the case of the displaced people, 50,000 displaced people were forcibly encircled, why did they conceal it? ”

If Ao Tan was slightly stunned when he heard this, the "mud" he had always looked down on the most actually had this insight, and after a long time, he said, "Then who do you say benefits the most?"

"Naturally, he is the lobby brother of Yuejiao. ”

"Ziyan's cousin's reliance is partly from the Ruo Ao clan led by Uncle Ling Yin, and part of it comes from the royal family that the princess relies on behind her back. killed the princess, and naturally cut off an arm. ”

"Is that also because he burned the ancestral hall?"

Ruo Ao Tan heard this, his upper and lower lips twitched, "He is really bold, that is the ancestor of all my Ruo Ao clan......"

"I don't know. ”

Ruo Ao Zi pretended to be confused and said, although he already knew the truth from Cheng Jia, but people who knew too much of the truth in this world often died too quickly.

……

Ruo Ao Ziliang, who heard that the ancestral hall was burned, was so worried that he fell ill overnight and personally sent him back to the room, and looked back at Ruo Ao Ziliang, who was serving and sleeping, so that Yin Zi silently withdrew his gaze, and said slowly in a cold voice, "Big brother, I hope you are really sick this time, so don't worry about anything anymore." If Ao's family, this everyone, I will support it. ”

The butler followed her silently all the way, his hands in front of him tightened, and he was slightly worried, "My lord!"

"Mobilize all the secret guards under the son, and kill the eldest son!"

Ling Yin Zi walked back to his inner study in the main courtyard, and he rarely did it himself, and in the middle of the night, he personally sorted out the somewhat messy paulownia long case that belonged to him, and said slowly: "In addition, I will send someone to see where Childe's messenger goes, I have important words for him to bring back to Childe by the way, and the six departments of Ruoao in the city let them be on standby at any time." ”

"Yes!"

The butler frowned, and from these few arrangements, he knew that the adults were ready to fight at this time.

"Don't reveal a little bit of news to your big brother until you succeed. ”

Ling Yin Zi explained another sentence to keep it secret, pushed open the Zhu window, and let the cold wind and rain outside the window blow away the darkness of this night, and the dawn quietly revealed a misty light, "The rebel son allowed you to live so far, which is the biggest mistake in this Ling Yin's life." ”

Ling Yin, who was standing by the window, suddenly poured a breath of cold air, coughed violently, and the housekeeper quickly picked up a large cloak and stepped forward, "My lord, it's cold, you have to take care of my Ruo Ao's body." ”

Ling Yin Zi tightened the cloak on his body and showed two points of tiredness when he heard this, from last night to now, he has not closed his eyes for two days and one night, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed, "People have to serve old age." ”

"My lord, when the wind is at its peak, if I wait for the Ao clan to pass this level, it will be better for the son to come back and take over all this. ”

The butler held his arm on the side and smiled softly, "Didn't Gongzi just send someone to deliver the message, and won another battle, dragging the Jin Kingdom to the death, and the Zheng State dilemma has been solved." ”

Ling Yin Zi thought of his sister-in-law and nodded and chuckled.

Taking advantage of the night, he called the civil officials on the left and right to write an excerpt according to his dictation, preparing to go to the court and the queen Chen Bingchu the day after tomorrow, which can be regarded as an explanation to the families and the king.

Thinking of the sudden extra son of the King of Chu, Ling Yin held Ling Yin's hand slightly for a moment, and then held up the seal of Ling Yin engraved with the five-tailed phoenix, covered on the silk silk, a piece of red, but his eyes wandered away from the brightly lit Chu Palace in the distance, and he said in his heart: The position of the princess is dangerous, and now the princess of Wu is gone, but it is not good, the king of Chu has always loved her, but I am afraid that in order to compensate, I will rise to the heart of abolishing the long and young.
