The red blood slowly slid down the blade, mixed with the wet rain, and flowed on the ground in a small spread. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]

But it wasn't Li Jie's knife.

The sudden knife hit Li Jie's killer sword that stabbed Li Jie to the heart, and then the blade shallow cut Li Zhi's neck, and the two horizontal knives rested on Li Zhi's neck like scissors, the three men were panting violently, looking at Li Jie's eyes that were colder than the coldest weather in Liaodong, his pale numb face shrank for a moment, and Jiao Laosan pleaded with worry.

"Your Highness, this is the crown prince, you can't kill it!"

"Concubine, concubine is fine, Lang Jun, you, don't be impulsive!" The same heart jumped out of her throat, Wu Meiniang's eyes were also full of horror, and the green tendons clenched in her chest with a pair of small fists stood up, trembling and persuading.

"Yes, Your Highness, you are not alone, and the people of the Min Mansion are counting on you! Even if it's for the sake of Wu Niangniang, you can't be impulsive! ”

Coming back to his senses and tearing the knife away, Jiao Laosan once again bowed down and hugged his fists to persuade hard, and at the same time gave Li Zhi, who was stunned, a fierce look, which made him tremble, and he actually knelt on the ground with his legs that had fluttered.

"The little brother was confused for a while, brother, just spare me this time, the little brother will never dare again!"

The ambition and majesty of the crown prince were all thrown aside, and Li Zhi turned back into the cowardly and fearful King of Jin, snot and tears mixed with the rain on his body, looking extremely embarrassed. His hands trembled violently, panting and glaring at Li Zhi for a long time, and Li Jie finally threw the knife aside in anger.

"Get out!"

He didn't dare to pause, Li Zhi even rolled and crawled out of the door, just pushed the door open, and the dripping ink rain in the night made him stunned, and the courtyard was full of armor soldiers, standing there silently one by one, like statues.

"Old Ten!"

His back stiffened, Li Zhi turned around in fear and looked at him, Li Jie's gaze was extremely complicated.

"From now on, we are no longer brothers, I will not keep my hand anymore, and you will not have to!"

As if he had lost something in his heart, he became empty, nodded blankly, Li Zhi squeezed away the armor soldiers in the heavy rain, and rushed out of the Shuo Wangfu without looking back.

"Hmph, it turns out that you are not numb!"

Li Jie's sudden cold snort made the three people who had finally breathed a sigh of relief raise their heads again, their hearts were shocked, Jiao Laosan's head was lowered, Li Yu'er's wolf-like eyes looked over again, under the dual effect of rain and blood fading, the pockmarks on Jiao Laosan's face were really a lot less.

"You have seen everything in your eyes, you don't need to change a word, tell my father who is high in the sky, go."

"Your Royal Highness......" Jiao Laosan muttered a few words, and Li Jie immediately became furious again, grabbed him by the collar and shouted: "Tell him, Gu wants to kill him, go quickly, get out of Gu immediately!" ”

was grabbed by the collar and fell out, staggered two steps, Jiao Laosan also plunged into the vast night rain, staring at the hazy shadows in the night, Li Jie was still trembling, at this time, there was a painful groan behind him in his ears, and he turned around in a panic, Wu Meiniang was already holding her stomach, and her face was completely in extreme pain.

Open your hand, it's full of black viscous liquid, it's blood!

"Someone, call Lang Zhong!" Like a madman, Li Jie rushed out of the house with his hair scattered.

In the temporarily arranged delivery room, an extremely sad scream of pain came from it, and a dozen or so Wen Po who had already prepared kept shuttling, and every time the water basin was brought out, it was bloody, and the rain gradually stopped, and when he wandered back and forth outside, Li Jie was still irritable like a trapped beast.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Sister Mei Niang will definitely be fine, you, don't worry!" There is still a shadow on Li Jie in her heart, and even persuasion, Hou Xianniang persuaded her carefully, but Li Jie glared at her fiercely, and she was so frightened that she took a step back.

"Of course she'll be fine!" Humming in a heavy tone, Li Jie immediately warned Hou Xianniang, and seemed to say it to himself, and Hou Xianniang was stupid for a moment when he listened.

Time passed minute by minute, Wu Meiniang's painful roar was higher and higher, listening to Li Jie became more and more anxious, two lives, Li Jie always had a false feeling about this world, so he could be ruthless and could do it, but this situation was the first time he encountered it, the extreme sense of reality overwhelmed him almost breathlessly, the circle around him was getting faster and faster, and suddenly he made up his mind, Li Jie turned around and rushed into his room.

A smell of wine rippled, changed into a set of cotton clothes, Li Jie fiercely rushed to the delivery bed, more than a dozen stable women immediately panicked and stopped outside, and admonished: "Lord, you, you can't go in, the mother gives birth to a child, but there is blood, once it collides with you, it will not be good for you, and you will lose your life!" ”

"Get out of this king, what should you do, once there is an accident, this king wants you all to die!" Rough break away from the stable woman, Li Jie strode in and stayed in front of the delivery bed, Lu Zhu also hesitated, but quietly gave way, reached out to hold Wu Meiniang's cold hand, Li Jie encouraged as gently as possible: "Mei Niang, don't be afraid, I will be by your side, come on, you can do it!" ”

"Don't hurry up and prepare!"

Hearing that Lu Zhu was also reprimanded again, the dozen or so stable women panicked, and hurriedly got busy again with a clear division of labor.

The gentle sound of encouragement continued to ring in his ears, Li Jie said in a soft voice tirelessly, the beads of sweat on his face were still flowing, holding his hand, Wu Meiniang seemed to be a little more relaxed, the painful screams seemed to be softer, but the production was still in progress, more and more alcohol and incense ash for disinfection were transported over, and the time was as sticky as glue, and every second made people feel tormented.

At dawn, the first rays of dawn finally pierced the gloom and darkness brought by the night rain, and the sunlight appeared crystal clear through the dewdrops, and the loud children's cries finally sounded in the delivery room, breaking the suffocating stalemate.

It seems that as in history, Wu Zetian's first child was a girl.

"Gong, congratulations to the prince, he is a county lord."

I still have palpitations about Li Jie's ferocity last night, not to mention that in ancient times, men were precious, and Wen Po was quite careful to hold the crying child and say happily, not wanting to take a towel to wipe a handful of sweat, Li Jie finally showed a kind smile.

"It's good that the mother and daughter are safe, you have worked hard, don't stop, continue to be busy, I Li Jie will be grateful afterwards!"

Stunned for a moment, the stable women finally relaxed a little, busy cleaning and dressing the baby, they were busy, and they didn't care about the things behind them, Li Jie once again held Wu Meiniang's hand tightly, and said gently: "It's hard." ”

"I'm sorry, it's a girl, at this time, His Highness needs a boy the most to stabilize the morale of the army......"

"As long as you're okay, anything is fine!" Stretching out his hand, Li Jie interrupted Wu Meiniang's words suddenly, looking at his serious expression, Wu Meiniang's pale and weak face couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile.

"Okay, don't think about anything, don't do anything, rest in peace, I will always be with you, don't go anywhere, don't go anywhere......"

Li Jie's voice was serene like a lullaby, and after a while, Wu Meiniang finally fell into a deep sweet dream, looking at it with envy and joy on the side, and after waiting for a long time, Lu Zhu endured this kind of unbearable, and still pulled Li Jie's sleeve.

"Your Highness, there are green beads here, you go and get busy, you must have something very important when you come back this time!"

Seeing Li Jie's hesitant expression, Lu Zhu added firmly: "Go quickly, I believe that in Sister Zhao'er's heart, smooth sailing for Her Royal Highness is the greatest comfort and protection for her." ”

With a fixed look in his eyes, Li Jie finally nodded heavily.

In the garden courtyard at the back of the palace, the mother and daughter were sleeping peacefully, and there was no trace of danger, as if the haze brought by the wind and rain last night had all dissipated, and returned to the front of the office study, sitting in front of the desk where Wu Meiniang often sits, looking at a large number of materials, Li Jie's brows couldn't help but twist into a pimple, and smiled helplessly.

Things are far more serious than imagined, which is why Du He has a news, Li Jie is anxious to run back to Hebei from the front line in Liaodong, it is really the advantage of the crown prince, for a period of time, Li Zhi not only used Du He's help to subdue a large number of officials under the former prince Li Chengqian, but also under the banner of him and Gao Yang, extremely infiltrated the cotton textile guild on which Li Jie depended.

It has penetrated to the extent that it can even shake Li Jie's decision! You must know that the Cotton Textile Guild is not Li Jie's alone, he is most proud of relying on the interests of cotton textiles to cover Guanzhong Heluo and even the second of the seven families, a small part of the Taiyuan Wang family, and the entire Xingyang Zheng family.

But now, Li Jie's identity as the leader of the guild is shaky because of Li Zhi's secret hand, which is even more fatal to Li Jie, who is about to leave Fujian.

While writing a few words from time to time, Li Jie kept thinking about it while biting the barrel of the pen, and it took a long time for a letter to be written.

"Give this to Qin Qing, let her leave all her business and come to see me quickly, and let her pay attention to safety!"

The three ranger messengers arranged by Xue Zhiguan all kowtowed, sent the three away, and spit out a breath of turbidity, Li Jie didn't have the heart to meditate in the study anymore, so he simply shook his shoulders and came out, hesitated for a moment in front of Wu Meiniang's courtyard, and turned around in the mansion indiscriminately.

Unconsciously, when I walked to a small courtyard, it happened to be blowing in the wind, and a small object hit Li Jie in the face, and I picked it up in amazement, Li Jie couldn't help but be angry and funny, it turned out to be a daughter's belly pocket.

"Quick, pay me back!" The weak voice came from the yard, blushing and fighting with tomatoes, Hou Xianniang grabbed her belly pocket in a panic, and hurriedly hung it in the most corner of the clothesline in the yard, and then went back to continue washing clothes, to her embarrassment, Li Ji followed in quietly, still staring at her belly pocket endlessly.

"Such a shabby and small belly pocket, why don't you change it, could it be that the people in the house are unfair to your brothers and sisters?" After a while, Li Jie came up with a sentence, which made Hou Xianniang's heart appear a trace of warmth, and replied with a red face: "No, no, this is the only thing my mother knitted for me, so I have been reluctant to change it." ”

This thing is obviously Hou Xianniang's childhood, now that it has been more than a year, the nutrition of Shuo Wangfu is not bad, this girl has developed even more, although a pair of small buds cannot be said to be ****, but it is definitely not small, looking at such a small thing, and then looking at Hou Xianniang's seductive figure, thinking about the appearance of **** half-solved, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a little charming.

Wu Meiniang had just finished giving birth, and then she was ambiguous with other women, and for a moment Li Jie had already shook his head with self-blame, and said dryly: "You continue to wash." Turning his head and walking out again, Hou Xianniang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he took two steps, Li Jie suddenly turned back with a spirit, and what made Hou Xianniang blush was that he actually ripped off his belly pocket again, and gestured to the sun.

"Your Highness!" In a hurry, Hou Xianniang reached out to grab it again, but this time Li Jie didn't give it to her, she still raised her high point to the sun, looked at the shadow under her belly pocket and couldn't help muttering: "Old thief Hou, it's really a lewd hero, it turns out that the so-called treasure is hidden here!" It's hidden here! ”。
