After the soldiers had shown their loyalty, they withdrew.

Fake Liu Shen looked at two middle-aged women who were panicked and trembling on the side.

He said, "Oh, when is it, can't you see that the queen is in pain?" What are you still standing there stupidly for? Hurry up and help her. ”

The two women have been doing rough work in the palace all their lives, and they have never even seen high-level palace maids, where have they seen the emperor and queen, and where have they ever thought that they would have the opportunity to deliver the prince or princess by hand, they are excited, nervous, and afraid.

The fake Liu Shen said to them: "Don't be nervous and afraid, calm down, go and help the queen well, the queen gives birth to the heir safely, I will make your son the marquis of a hundred households, and reward each of you with ten thousand taels of gold." ”

When the two women heard this, they were infinitely happy, and immediately smiled, knelt on the ground and thanked them again and again, only promising that they would let the queen give birth smoothly and give birth to the prince or princess safely.

Then the two women went and washed their hands carefully, poured them with white wine, and came to help me. After a while, the soldier brought in two more basins of boiling hot water, and the two women threw scissors into the basins to soak them. With their relief and help, my mind was a little calmer. They picked me up and sat down again, and fed me a bowl of hot brown sugar water. I felt a little more strength in my body, so I puffed up my strength again, gritted my teeth and pushed the fetus hard. Gradually, the head of the fetus is revealed. The black hair was wet and palpable.

"The head of the fetus has been exposed, the queen is working harder!" The two women hurriedly told me the good news and comforted me, who was already rolling her eyes in pain.

Just as the tension was busy, there was another commotion and commotion outside. Then there is the sound of swords intersecting. The soldiers outside shouted and screamed.

I was frightened again and lost my strength. The fetus was stuck there like this, and the pain was so painful that my liver and intestines were broken, and tears exchanged, and I saw that there was only air out but no air in.

The door slammed open. Zhou Daiyue was holding a stainless steel saber, his face was full of murderous energy, and he appeared at the door with a group of people covered in blood.

The scene inside the house made Zhou Daiyue stunned for a moment.

Then, frowning in disgust, he spat hard at the ground, saying, "Phew! What a bad luck! ”

He said: "Your Majesty, Queen, your ability is really not small, and you can even let the soldiers on guard turn to help you!" There are also people who dare to rise up against me, and even want to kill me from behind while I am unprepared! You guys are amazing! ”

He said: "It's a pity, no matter how good you are, you are already a fish on the board now, and it won't be long before you jump." ”

He said, "General Yang asked His Majesty to come and meet him. ”

Fake Liu Shen said: "No! Can't you see that the queen is having a baby? I can't leave her at this time. ”

Zhou Daiyue sneered and said, "Death is coming, Your Majesty and the Empress are still in such a loving mood!" ”

He said: "The military situation is urgent, Your Majesty, you have to go if you want to, and you have to go if you don't want to go!" If Your Majesty refuses to go, don't blame your ministers for being disrespectful to Your Majesty. With that, he was going to come over and drag the fake Liu Shen.

I couldn't help but be furious when I saw that his hand was about to grab the sleeve of the fake Liu Shen. I don't know where the strength came from, so I immediately stood up from the bed and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Rebels and thieves, don't offend Your Majesty!" ”

Zhou Daiyue turned his face to look at me, his face showing a hideous iron blue. He shook the saber in his hand and took a step or two in my direction. He said in a gloomy tone: "The queen is so painful, why don't I help you make a decision." ”

Fake Liu Shen shouted: "Zhou Daiyue! Human life is short, and it passes by in a flash, aren't you afraid of seeing the heroic spirit of the old general after death? ”

Zhou Daiyue stopped when he heard this, and he stood there for a while, watching my pain. Then, he turned around and said, "If Your Majesty wants to keep your wife and children safe, go and see General Yang." He squinted in my direction and said, "As for the Queen, we had no intention of hurting her. She sent it to the door herself. Now, let her fend for herself. ”

He raised his knife against the back of the fake Liu Shen and said, "Your Majesty, please!" ”

Fake Liu Shen looked back at me and said, "It is my duty to die for the country." The queen, the heir of the royal family, has her own shade from heaven, you take care. ”

He arched his hand at me, and followed Zhou Daiyue and his gang out of the door.

After Zhou Daiyue and his gang left, the two middle-aged women lost their square inches again, and they didn't know whether to continue to help me deliver the baby, or to take advantage of the chaos to run for their lives.

One of the women said to the other, "Are they gone?" Get out there and see what's going on outside. ”

A woman hurriedly climbed out of bed and went outside to see what was going on. The other continued to push my stomach down.

After a while, the woman who had gone to inspect outside ran back in a panic and shouted, "Oh, it's terrible, there are dead people everywhere outside, and the soldiers who just brought us over have been cut in two." ”

Another woman was alarmed, "What the hell is going on?" What do we do now? ”

The woman who came back from outside said: "In my opinion, there is a mutiny, and the General Zhou who just came in, as well as General Yang, should be trying to overthrow His Majesty, and look at it like this, they will succeed." ”

The woman on the bed said, "What about the grace that Your Majesty has just given us?" ”

The woman who came back from outside said: "Oh, Your Majesty is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself, even the queen can't be left like this, how can he still manage those future graces!" If the emperor can't be the emperor, what he just said will be all nonsense. ”

She said: "We helped the emperor and queen, General Zhou has seen it, he has a big deal to deal with us now, and when we think about it, we will be killed." It's better to take advantage of the fact that no one cares about us, let's run quickly, go back and run away with our family, so that they can't find it. As soon as the emperor changes, the world will definitely be in chaos, and if they can't find it for a while, they won't remember. ”

The woman on the bed stopped pushing my belly. She looked at her companion, and at me in bed, wailing and struggling. She was a little unbearable. She said, "We ran away, what will the queen do?" She's half raw. Anyway, these are two lives. ”

The woman who came back from outside said: "Oh, you are confused, she and her child are two lives, how many lives are there for ourselves and our family." ”

She said to me, "Queen, we are all inferior people, we have never seen the world, we have never encountered such a thing. When disaster comes, I really can't take care of you and your children. You are the one who has given birth to a child, and the child is about to come out, you work your own. We, we, we can't stop you, and now that no one cares about this courtyard, we're going to run for our lives. ”

After speaking, she kowtowed twice to me on the bed, and then beckoned to the woman on the bed: "What are you still doing in a daze, run for your life!" ”

When the woman on the bed heard this, she also kowtowed to me and said, "Queen, I'm sorry." Don't blame us, we're just afraid of death, and we don't hurt you! With that, he rolled over and got out of bed.

I pleaded miserably in the pain that made people fall apart: "Two big sisters, please help me, the child is about to come down." ”

I reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the woman on the bed and didn't let go.

She grabbed my fingers, broke them with all her might, shook me off, hurried out of bed, stepped on her shoes, and ran out of the door with another woman.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was left with me and the dead people outside.

The fetus was stuck in the middle of my birth gate, and I was so painful that I couldn't survive or die. After a few frightes, I was exhausted. I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, and I couldn't muster up the strength to push the baby down any further. I groaned miserably and shouted one after another, "King Han! King Han! I can't! Come and save your baby! ”

My screams echoed around the beams, startling a few birds perched on the roof.

They fluttered to their feet and hurried towards the front yard of the palace. (To be continued.) )
