Chapter 85: Blessings and Misfortunes
Several midwives knelt in front of King Chu Wen to apologize.
King Chu Wen roared: "Go back and continue, my wife and children will be kept for me, if there is any mistake, I will not destroy your nine clans!" ”
When the ministers saw that the green tendons on King Chu Wen's forehead were bursting up, no one dared to say more.
King Chu Wen regretted it in his heart at this time, if he hadn't listened to Zhang Gao's slanderous words, his wife would not have suffered this catastrophe.
The midwives were so frightened that they crawled back to the delivery room.
King Chu Wen looked back at the onlookers, all of them looked embarrassed, but the anxious look was true and false, looking anxious and annoyed, and roared: "Madame gives birth, what kind of system does it become for civil and military officials to stay outside the delivery room?" It's all scattered for me! ”
Originally, the old minister puppet Zhong wanted to prevent Xi Fei from giving birth smoothly, but it was difficult to protect the mother and son, and there was no need to stop it, so he quietly glanced at the national teacher, the two took a few steps back, yawned and walked out, and the ministers also left the incense pavilion one after another.
The sky was white, and King Chu Wen was exhausted, looking into the delivery room from time to time, pacing anxiously back and forth.
Suddenly, the sound of hailstones mixed with the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the Incense Pavilion, and the guards rushed forward and hurriedly retreated.
King Chu Wen's eyes were bloodshot, and when he looked up, he saw Ouyang Jing leading an old woman with silver hair and a kind face walking in.
"The people's woman Li Shi knocks on the king!"
"Tell the king, I brought a folk midwife, it is said that I have delivered countless babies in my life, and I have also seen all kinds of difficult and dangerous situations......"
"Hurry up, Madame and Wang'er's lives will be handed over to you!"
Li Shi followed the palace maid into the delivery room, and King Chu Wen didn't say a word, hugged Ouyang Jing tightly, and patted him on the shoulder a few times.
In the Ganlu Palace, Jiang Li had already rested, and at this time, Chun Tao and Xia He, who were lying in their clothes, suddenly vaguely heard that someone seemed to knock on the window lattice a few times.
Chun Tao is a spirit, this rhythm, isn't it the joint code that Jiang Li said to herself?
"If there's any movement outside, I'll go and see!" Xia He said and prepared to get up.
"What's going on, you don't know it's been hailing all night outside! Stop talking, go to bed. Chun Tao pretended to close her eyes after speaking, and after a while, she heard Xia He snoring slightly.
Chun Tao tiptoed out of bed, gently opened the door and flashed out, and then looked back, Xia He on the bed honestly fell asleep and did not move, so he walked quickly to the big plane tree in the yard, and his hand was in the hole of the plane tree, and sure enough, there was something.
Xia He in the house sat up quietly, lay in front of the window, added the window paper with the tip of her tongue, and saw a figure under the plane tree, she pursed her lips and smiled, and secretly returned to the bed.
When Chun Tao returned to bed again, Xia He deliberately whispered and asked, "Ouch, Chun Tao, why are your feet so cold like a dead man?" ”
"Bah, you're dead! I went to the thatched house in a hurry just now, don't shout, beware of waking up the mother. ”
"I've been woken up by you, Chun Tao, pour me a cup of hot water!"
At this time, Jiang Li in the middle called softly, in fact, she also heard the sound of knocking on the window lattice.
Chun Tao took the opportunity of serving tea and quietly stuffed the things she took out of the hole in the sycamore tree into Jiang Li's hand.
Jiang Li opened it and saw that the cloth strip read: "The worries have been removed, and the fetus is safe to raise." ”
Jiang Li looked at the note in a daze, it has been removed, what does it mean? Could it be that the concubine who has been in labor has had an accident? Mother and son both died, one corpse and two lives? After all, she died because of herself, and her heart was suddenly full of chagrin, a burst of soreness and desolation arose, her nose was sore, and tears almost rolled out.
"It's not early, let's rest quickly!"
Chun Tao took the cup in Jiang Li's hand, pulled the strip of cloth, and threw it into the incense burner.
The sky is different, and the rumors that the country will be in trouble have already followed this hailstorm, and some people have made something out of nothing, spreading the words "Xi Fei is a red face and a curse, she has been punished by heaven, one corpse and two lives" This kind of words spread throughout the palace, scattered all over every corner, and naturally also reached the ears of Ji Lin, who was always paying attention to the news of Xi Fei.
At this time, the guards in the same room were talking about it, everyone knew the relationship between Ji Lin and Mrs. Peach Blossom now, but no one shy away from Ji Lin.
"Have you heard? Mrs. Peach Blossom, that is, the concubine who gave us cotton clothes a few days ago, heard that she was pushed to the ground by the king and hemorrhaged, and the adults and children were not saved. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the king spoils her so much, how can he be willing to push her, it's because her own physique is too weak, and she didn't survive the heavy bleeding during childbirth."
"What? Are you telling the truth? ”
"Of course it's true, you listen, it's all over the outside."
"I'm going to kill the name of the king of Chu on that dog day", Ji Lin said, and was about to get the sword in the corner, but was snatched away by his roommate.
"Come on, look at you like this, you can't restrain the chicken, I'm afraid it's hard to kill a fly, hahahaha!"
In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Ji Lin staggered, dragging heavy steps, looking stupid, and muttering to himself.
"yes, what's the use of me? My Qiu'er has gone before me, woo woo woo...... Why are you so miserable? My Qiu'er, my husband has been worried that you will suffer after you leave first, so let's go on the road together! As a husband, I followed you, I didn't take care of you in this life, we will be together in the next life, I will love you even more! Qiu'er, wait for me, my husband is here! ”
Ji Lin couldn't cry, after coming to Chu State, this was the first time to be so active and bold, without any scruples to speak in front of people, after shouting these few words, he used all his strength, and suddenly hit the edges and corners of the wall, and suddenly, the little blood in his body escaped from Ji Lin's body.
No one thought that Ji Lin, who has always been cowardly, no matter who he was bullied by, he was always silent, he was such a person who forbears everywhere, but he suddenly had the courage to die, the righteousness was awe-inspiring, and he went to death without looking back, the speed was amazingly fast, and everyone was stunned for a while, which made people sigh, and some people shed tears of pity for him.
When the day dawned, the hail stopped, and the round hail spread all over the courtyard of the incense pavilion, and from a distance, it looked like plums in the ground.
With a crisp and loud cry of "wow", the prince of the Great Chu State was finally born.
"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, my wife has given birth, and she is a little prince." The old midwife Li was covered in blood and was helped out by the palace maid, and she was very weak.
"Good, good! What about Madame? Is the lady who doesn't have a hub okay? ”
"Madame is fine!" Lai collapsed after saying these words.
"Hurry up and let the Imperial Doctor treat Li's!"
King Chu Wen excitedly raised his legs and ran to the delivery room.
"It's hard work, my good Qiu'er, look at it, our children are so good! Is it good to name him Hailstone? Qiu'er, from today onwards, you are the queen of our Great Chu Kingdom! ”
