I don't know how long it took for the old man to come in from outside the door and say respectfully: "Master, everything that should be said has been made clear to him." Moreover, the old slave also warned that as long as we are willing, there will be no chickens and dogs left in his Confucian Mansion in an instant. ”

Han Xuandao put it down, nodded, and said: "People like him, the older they get, the more afraid they are of death, you send two people to keep an eye on them, show up occasionally, and deliberately let him know that we have sent someone to keep an eye on him." ”

This old man is Han Yin, the old housekeeper of the Hubu Shangfu, and he is also the leader of the Han family's shadow guard in Beijing, and he is Han Xuandao's henchman and assistant.

"The old slave understands."

Han Xuandao pondered for a moment before asking, "Cao Xiu's side, is there really no movement?" ”

Han Yin said: "Princess Xiu is indeed recuperating in the Wisteria Pavilion in the Wisteria Valley, but the old slave is afraid of alarming her, so she just makes people watch from afar, and does not get close, what Princess Xiu is doing in the courtyard, the old slave does not know, but recently, she rarely goes out of the valley, occasionally goes out of the valley, and only meditates on the shore of Liuxiang Lake outside the Wisteria Valley." ”

Han Xuandao bowed his head and said, "You did the right thing, don't let people alarm her." After a pause, he asked, "Is there any news from the northwest?" ”

"The Fifth Young Master has changed generals, and there was still some trouble, but Ji Fengnian of the Battle of Shanggu City suddenly appeared, which made things much smoother all of a sudden." Han Yin bowed his body and said calmly: "The fifth young master immediately promoted Ji Fengnian to the chief soldier of Linyang Pass, according to the current situation, Linyang Pass is already in the hands of the fifth young master, Du Wei of Linzhao Pass, Zhu Zicheng of Zhuanshui Pass, these two people were Ji Fengnian's subordinates back then, and they lived and died together, and their relationship was extraordinary, and now Ji Fengnian is following the fifth young master, these two people should not disobey the military orders of the fifth young master." ”

Han Xuandao's expression was indifferent, and he said, "Xiao Wu does things, but he doesn't know it. He took in Ji Fengnian, even I, who was an uncle, didn't even know it! ”

Han Yin thought for a while and said cautiously: "Master, I'm afraid that the Fifth Young Master didn't know Ji Fengnian's identity before, so he didn't report ...... to you, Master!" ”

Han Xuandao smiled faintly and said, "Our fifth young master of the Han family is very smart and has a lot of means, which is the luck of my Han family." It's just that...... After all, his temperament is a little more lawless, and sometimes he doesn't even pay attention to me, an uncle. He dared to take Xiao Lingzhi away secretly, but he didn't say a word to my uncle...... I really don't know how much trouble he will cause in the future, and I, who is an uncle, don't seem to be able to control him! ”

Han Yin groaned slightly, and said: "Master, the fifth young master has a stubborn temperament, but he still knows things, and when he is older, he will naturally be more stable." ”

Han Xuandao smiled and said, "Your words are not bad, you are older, and your temperament should be more restrained." His expression suddenly became grim, and he said softly: "The old fox seems to be returning to his hometown a few years ago!" ”

Han Yin's expression was also cold, and he said, "The old slave understands!" ”

Yanli Pingguang 10 January 17, too hospital.

It was already ten o'clock at night, but the Confucius Institute sentenced him to stay in the Tai Hospital, and the concubine was about to give birth to Lin'er at any time in the past two days, and he, the main person in charge, naturally had to wait in the hospital, ready to enter the palace at any time.

The hospital is just outside the palace, and there are usually people on duty at twelve hours a day, and as long as there is a summons in the palace, someone will be sent into the palace at any time.

According to the calculation of the Confucius Yuanju, if nothing else, the possibility of giving birth tonight is very high, and the closer to the delivery date, the more frightened the Confucius Yuanju, his dry hands are wrapped in the furry sleeves, but he can't help but tremble slightly.

At the beginning of the year, an imperial doctor came in with a hot supper, bowed down and said, "Lord Judge, eat something!" "Respectfully put the supper on the table.

Confucius took a deep breath and got up, and the imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to support him, extremely respectful.

Confucius Yuan glanced at the imperial doctor, and for some reason, although the identity of this imperial doctor was far lower than his own, he felt that this imperial doctor was much happier than himself.

When he got to the table and sat down, looking at the supper made with medicinal food, it was indeed nutritious and delicious, but he had no appetite, and the imperial doctor served him half a bowl of hot ginseng soup in a small bowl, and said respectfully: "Lord Judge of the court, you always drink a little while it is hot......!" ”

Confucius thought that the palace might come over at any time, and he still had to fill his stomach, nodded, took the soup bowl, and before he could take a sip, someone outside had already hurriedly come over and shouted: "Lord Yuanju, the palace ...... The word has been passed in the palace, hurry up and enter the palace ......! ”

Confucius Yuan was taken aback, the soup bowl in his hand fell on the table, and a bowl of ginseng soup was all spilled, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he got up and said, "Hurry up...... Fast into the palace! ”

Everything was prepared, and the two imperial doctors took the medicine box and tools, followed the Confucius Yuan judge out of the courtyard in a hurry, got in the car and went to the palace.

The car traveled smoothly along the way, and the familiar road came to Changchun. In the palace, when the Confucius Yuan sentenced to get out of the car, there was already a eunuch from the Medicinal Diet Division waiting outside the palace, and when he saw the Confucius Yuan sentence coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Imperial Doctor Kong, Niangniang is only afraid that she is going to give birth, hurry up and go in and see ......!" ”

Imperial Doctor Kong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Father-in-law leads the way!" ”

He actually had a view on Changchun. The road of the palace is already very familiar, but the rules of the palace, the imperial doctor must be led by the eunuch of the medicinal diet department when he enters the palace to treat the concubines.

Although Imperial Physician Kong was old, he did not dare to delay at this time, and walked forward with the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division, followed by two imperial doctors, holding the medicine box.

While walking, Imperial Physician Kong couldn't help but turn his head to look at the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division beside him, and the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division also happened to look at him at this time, the two of them looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of strange look in each other's eyes, and also saw a trace of horror faintly in the depths of their eyes.

After a glance, both of them immediately understood in their hearts that the other party was a member of this operation, just like themselves.

Hurriedly came to the outside of a house, and the Confucius Yuan judge saw a pretty palace maid walking back and forth anxiously outside the door, and knew that this palace maid was a confidant next to Concubine Shu, called Ling Yan'er.

Ling Yan'er saw Imperial Doctor Kong coming, greeted her, and said hurriedly: "Imperial Doctor Kong, Niangniang is in a terrible pain, you go in and see ......!" "Recently, Imperial Physician Kong has to enter the palace almost once a day, and Ling Yan'er is already familiar with it.

Confucius Yuan Judge hurriedly followed the house, and went deeper, and saw the jade couch covered by the incense curtain, and a man in red brocade was sitting on the side of the ** holding the hand of the concubine, it was Emperor Yan.

Seeing the imperial doctor coming, Emperor Yan got up and said, "Come and see, are you going to give birth?" ”

The Confucius Institute judged that he didn't have time to bow down, so he could only stand and bow respectfully, and hurriedly stepped forward, only to see that Concubine Shu's face was covered with beads of sweat, and she looked quite painful, and hurriedly said: "Niangniang, please stretch out an arm!" ”

Concubine Shu stretched out an arm as white as mutton fat jade, and put it on the edge of the **, and the Confucius Yuan had already covered the vein with a light veil, and then leaned out a finger and carefully put it on the vein.

After a while, the Confucius Yuan retracted his hand, turned back to Emperor Yan and said, "Enlighten the saint, Niangniang is indeed going to give birth!" ”

Emperor Yan's eyes showed a little excitement, and he said, "That's ...... So what to do? ”

The Confucius Yuan judged the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division and asked, "Father-in-law, has Wen Po arrived?" ”

"Just wait outside!"

"Brushed!" The Confucius Yuan judge immediately decided: "There are not many people here, let's all go out!" He plucked up the courage to salute Emperor Yan and said, "Holy Lord, please rest outside for a while, and leave it to us here!" ”

Emperor Yan nodded, stepped forward, gently held Concubine Shu's hand, and said softly: "Concubine Ai is suffering, I am outside!" ”

The eunuchs of the Medicinal Diet Division had already gone out to bring in the two Wen Po, and several palace maids in the room quickly opened a black curtain according to the instructions of the eunuchs of the Medicinal Diet Division, and two more eunuchs came in carrying a small wooden box, which was the delivery box used by Wen Po.

"The amniotic water broke." A stable woman came to the edge of the **, opened the brocade and looked at it, and shouted: "Go out!" ”

Ling Yan'er said anxiously: "Do you want the slave to stay and help?" ”

"No, get out of here." Another Wen Po waved her hand and called everyone in the house out, and then someone closed the door, and the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division immediately stepped forward and bolted the door latch from the inside, and his hand trembled slightly.

Inside the black curtain, two midwives delivered the baby, and here, the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division and the Confucius Yuan judge were waiting in horror.

Concubine Shu's voice soon came out.

Confucius Yuan's forehead was full of cold sweat, and he looked at the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division beside him in shock, the eunuch was also in a trance, and the two looked at each other, listening to the voices coming from inside, but they were praying in their hearts.

As long as Concubine Shu successfully gives birth to the prince, then everything does not have to be carried out, and everyone is safe.

However, if Concubine Shu gave birth to a princess, these people would have to take a big risk to come up with a shocking conspiracy of "the prince for the princess".

Confucius was in a trance, and I don't know how long it took, he heard a baby's cry from inside the curtain, and this cry woke up the Confucius Yuan judge and the eunuch of the medicinal diet, and their faces showed extreme nervousness at the same time.

At this moment, Emperor Yan and Ling Yan'er, who were outside, were surprised when they heard the cry inside, and all the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint!" ”

Emperor Yan's face showed excitement, and he walked towards the door, and the two imperial doctors outside the door hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the dragon still needs to bathe!" ”

In the room, the Confucian Yuan judge and the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division were eagerly waiting for Wen Po to come over, and soon, the curtain was lifted, and the old Wen Po's face was revealed, and there was a trace of panic on her face.

After all, after countless things, at this moment, the Confucius Yuan judge calmed down and said in a low voice: "Is it a princess or a prince?" ”

Lao Wenpo looked left and right, and made sure that there were only four people in the house, so she said in a very low voice: "No...... Not good, yes...... It's a princess ......! ”

The Confucius Yuan sentenced and the eunuch of the Medicinal Diet Division changed color at the same time.
