In the Chenguo Palace.

In the room, Du Yuanxiu, who was embroidering the child's clothes, was sweating profusely, and the palace maid came in with tea, "Niangniang, why are you sweating so much, the slave maid will let you send some ice." She stepped forward worriedly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the forehead of the woman with her stomach upright.

"No need, it's better to blow some cool breeze." Du Yuanxiu caressed her belly lovingly, the day of giving birth was not far away, her indescribable anticipation, as if the buds that had been brewing in winter were finally about to bloom in spring, and she wanted to see what this child looked like as soon as possible.

I hope to be like His Highness.

At this time, there was a sound outside, and Du Yuanxiu looked out. "What happened?"

"Slave maid go and see."

Looking at the departing back, Du Yuanxiu's face showed a little loneliness. I wonder if Your Highness knows that she is about to give birth? She couldn't remember the last time His Highness came to see her, it was a day.

Whenever this happens, Du Yuanxiu will always comfort himself, Dongfang Xu is not unconcerned about her, after all, the tonic in this palace has never been broken, and he will occasionally order someone to bring a word or two of greetings.

Maybe this is His Royal Highness's subtle gentleness, even if he can't give himself a complete heart.

It would be false to say that there are no regrets and expectations in her heart, but Du Yuanxiu feels that now that she can still look at Dongfang Xu, it is enough to make her feel happy.

"Niangniang......" The palace maid finally came back, but her face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

The palace maid hesitated, her eyes fell on Du Yuanxiu's stomach, and she seemed to be thinking about whether to say it or not.

Such an expression is most likely to arouse suspicion, "But...... What happened to Your Highness? ”

"No, it's not, it's just ......" The palace maid took a deep breath, maybe it was still too late to tell sù Niangniang, "Niangniang, Your Majesty is preparing to leave the palace." ”

Leaving the palace? The movements in Du Yuanxiu's hand suddenly stopped, she seemed to think of something, and then a little wry smile appeared on her face, "Yes, Your Majesty has already sent a team of people to Yi Kingdom to pick up the princess back to the palace......"

And also...... Imperial Physician. So His Royal Highness can't help it, and wants to go out of the palace to greet him in person?

Her hands couldn't help but grasp her clothes, and she wanted the child to see her father at the first sight of the child's birth, which seemed impossible.

"Niangniang, it's better for the slave to go and talk to His Royal Highness...... although Niangniang doesn't say it these days, she can see that Niangniang wants His Royal Highness very much, and now, it is the time when Niangniang needs His Highness the most.

Du Yuanxiu was about to speak, but suddenly her face changed, and the sharp pain in her abdomen was like a muffled thunder falling from the sky, which made her forget to move for a moment, and a voice stuck in her throat couldn't come out.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Mother..."

……

"Please also ask Your Highness to consider carefully, we have already sent two generals to go, Your Highness really doesn't have to risk your life..."

The handsome man was dressed in a military uniform, and his handsome face had lost a lot of weight, but he had a shrewd ability and majesty. He just looked ahead indifferently, as if he hadn't heard the words of the military general beside him.

Dongfang Xu was even dreaming of waiting for this day, and tonight, the people he sent would bring Yun Shu and Yongning back, but he couldn't rest assured, and he didn't want to wait any longer.

He wanted Yun Shu to see his sincerity, and he wanted to take her hand back to the Chenguo Palace by himself.

"Let's go..."

"Your Highness......"

At this time, the Grand Duke anxiously rushed in from outside, "Your Highness... The side concubine is about to give birth, and the stable woman has already passed... Your Highness, hurry up and take a look..."

Du Yuanxiu? Dongfang Xu frowned, "Isn't there still a few days?" ”

"This ...... The slave doesn't know, Your Highness should hurry up and take a look..."

The generals on the side breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, this kid came in time...

Dongfang Xu frowned, how could it be so coincidental? It's just today......

"Your Highness, the prince is important..."

Dongfang Xu paused slightly, then lifted the hem of his clothes and walked to the door and stopped, the grand duke was overjoyed, His Royal Highness finally figured it out...

"Order all the imperial doctors to wait, the princess is about to return to the palace, and the palace will personally pick it up..."

What the? … The Grand Duke's face changed, and he glanced at the general, while Dongfang Xu had disappeared from their sight.

In the room, the wails of pain rose higher and higher.

"Mother, inhale... Inhale..."

"Ah...... Child...... My child ......" Du Yuanxiu's face was pale, her hands were tightly gripping the sheets, her hair was sticking to her face, and tears were uncontrollably moistened her face.

Wen Po's hands were full of blood, but she didn't see the child's figure for a long time, "What can I do, go and tell His Highness..."

"But...... Your Highness has left the palace......"

What the? … Everyone was at a loss, this is His Royal Highness's first child, if there is any mistake, they can't afford it...

I don't know why, even though the severe pain has eroded Du Yuanxiu's nerves, she can hear the words of the stable women clearly, Your Highness...... Leave the palace. Isn't that a result that was expected a long time ago? But why now, she felt so vulnerable?

Child, it's not that your father doesn't love you, but ...... It's that the mother is useless......

Consciousness gradually blurred, and Du Yuanxiu's hands had lost their strength.

"Mother? Mother..."

The prince's team slowly drove out of the palace gate, and on horseback, the man's eyes were like torches, and his heart was only on the distant place. The team was huge, the flag of the kingdom of Chen was flying in the wind, and the sound of footsteps came from the ears.

"Your Highness... Behind His ......Highness, the sound of horses' hooves approached quickly, and a guard rushed forward like lightning.

Dongfang Xu grabbed the reins suspiciously, and in the blink of an eye, the guards had already rushed in front of him, dismounted and knelt down, "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that the side concubine Niangniang has a difficult birth, and her life is now on the line." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the surrounding generals suddenly changed.

"Your Highness, the lives of the mother and the prince are at stake... Please believe that Your Highness will bring Her Royal Highness the Princess back safe and sound..."

Dongfang Xu pulled the reins tightly, Du Yuanxiu had a difficult birth? Obviously, the imperial doctors had said that her fetus was normal, how could it suddenly ......

"Your Royal Highness, the queen mother asks Her Royal Highness to return to the palace quickly..."This matter has reached the ears of the queen of Chenguo, Dongfang Xu's eyes flashed, "Queen Mother? Who sued sù her..."

"The queen has already invited the sedan chair to pass ......"

"The queen mother is inconvenient, how can you bother her? Dongfang Xu suddenly became cold, but he knew that the queen mother was forcing him to go back. Pull the reins heavily, "Go back to the palace..."

……

In Tai**, the palace maids have already been busy. Basins of blood were brought out one after another, and as soon as the queen entered the palace gate, she was shocked by the scene in front of her and turned pale.

"See the Queen..."

"Excuse me... What happened to the side concubine? ”

Wen Po looked a little incoherent, "Mother, she ...... Not yet awake ......"

"What do you mean by not being awake? … The side concubine fainted? The queen has also experienced giving birth to a child, so she naturally knows that this situation is very dangerous, "No matter what the method, you must keep the side concubine and the prince..."

"Yes, yes, the slave understands."

"What about the Prince? Why hasn't the prince come over yet..."The queen's heart was full of anger, she knew Dongfang Xu's attitude towards Du Yuanxiu, and she had persuaded herself, but the prince now has his own ideas, and some things are not something she can force on, so these days, she can only turn a blind eye and care about Du Yuanxiu for Dongfang Xu.

I just didn't expect that the prince went too far this time... His wife is about to give birth, and he actually wants to leave the palace? Even if it was her own son, the queen decided that she would not help him anymore...

"The Queen Mother... Why are you out of the palace... Go back and rest, here's the son. Dongfang Xu saw the queen surrounded by everyone in the courtyard at a glance, and immediately opened her clothes and greeted her.

The queen's face was stern, "If the queen mother doesn't leave the palace, you have already left Beijing, right?" Prince, do you know that the side concubine is inside, working hard to give birth to a child for you? …”

Dongfang Xu restrained his expression, but did not answer.

He already has a grudge in his heart, Dongfang Xu doesn't know what he is complaining about, complaining about God? still complains that Du Yuanxiu appeared at that time. This qiē was not what he wanted, but fate made people. Now he just wants to personally welcome his beloved woman back to the palace, but God still refuses to give him this opportunity.

“…… Erchen knows. ”

"Know? Why, now you don't even want your own flesh and blood? The queen felt that the man in front of her was a little strange, the death of the former emperor had indeed changed the prince, and she had not heard of what the prince had done for a while, but what the prince had done had greatly exceeded her imagination.

He is becoming more and more like an emperor, but he is also becoming more and more ruthless like an emperor.

The queen once hoped that Dongfang Xu could become a generation of Ming Jun, although she understood that sometimes she had to use extraordinary means, but the crown prince seemed to ...... It's starting to rely on extraordinary means. Perhaps, in a short period of time, this vigorous and resolute style can stabilize the dynasty, but after a long time, it will naturally have its drawbacks.

"Erchen knows that he is wrong." Dongfang Xu lowered his head, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the closed door, he always thought that he could not care, but just now, if the guard didn't say that the queen left the palace, he would have returned.

Blood is thicker than water, and although this child is not what he wants, it is his child in the end. Du Yuanxiu...... I do owe it to her.

But what she wants, she can't give it herself. The only thing he can give is the position of the side concubine, as well as brocade clothes and food.

"Ah......" In the room, Du Yuanxiu's screams suddenly came.

"Bodhisattva bless... Bodhisattva bless... Niangniang, the side concubine Niangniang probably knew that His Royal Highness was here, and she had woken up..."Wen Po greeted her happily, and the queen was delighted, "Quick, go in... We must keep their mothers and children safe..."

Yuanxiu, a child, is indeed blessed. The queen has always believed that she truly loves the prince, otherwise how could she have such a sense to know that the prince is back.

"Prince, the queen mother is here to tell you, if the imperial doctor returns to the palace, the queen mother will not agree, let you make her the queen."

What the? Dongfang Xu's eyes changed.
