Yan Xi hurriedly knelt aside, "The county lord forgives the sin." ”

Bu Tong raised his forehead and smiled, as if he was fine, and the wind was light,

"We didn't say anything, and who said you were guilty?"

Yan Xi bowed his head and said nothing.

Mu Hesheng also calmed down, and commanded coldly, "You are the person next to the queen mother, and you have always been arrogant when you came to the house, but now you are willing to swallow your anger like this, and there must be a reason for it, the queen mother doesn't look down on A-Yao's background, and she definitely wants to influence the people around me, I know it." And the county lord of Changping is the most noble woman in Kyoto City, and the queen mother must like it, didn't she still want to marry the only daughter of the Northern Duke for her sixth brother in the past? ”

"Your Highness," Yan Xi suddenly rushed to Mu Hesheng's feet when he heard this, "It's the slave who is stupid and can't speak, everything the queen does is for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness can hate the slave, but he can't misunderstand the mother." ”

"Then you can say it well," Bu Tong was upset, and simply interrupted her crying,

"Your Royal Highness doesn't want to have a conflict between mother and son, but today's matter is about the imperial concubine and the soon-to-be-born little prince, don't you think that if you kill the two of them with your own hands, your queen mother can still enjoy the joy of family?"

Yan Xi seems to be loyal to the queen, and when she heard this, she couldn't hold it anymore, and her head slammed "bang", "Your Royal Highness, the county lord, Niangniang really can't help it, the Liu family was the only favor back then, even if the mother's family committed the crime of rebellion, His Majesty still favored her, Niangniang had no choice, so she found a way to send His Royal Highness outside the palace, pretending to raise the six princes, how can any mother in the world give up her son to favor a child who is not related by blood, Niangniang is really dedicated to the good of His Royal Highness." ”

Bu Tong looked at Mu Hesheng's contemplative appearance, and then asked,

"Now it's for the good of His Royal Highness, so do you want to take the opportunity of production to get rid of this fourth imperial concubine who is not from a high background?"

Yan Xi still lay on the ground and said softly, "Yes, Niangniang said, although His Royal Highness has no strong opponents now, but he must not relax, the fourth imperial concubine came from a humble background, and has no mother's foundation to help His Royal Highness, and he will definitely not be the master of the six palaces in the future. ”

Bu Tong smiled,

"Mother lifted me up."

Mu Hesheng was on the verge of anger, "So, for the sake of a noble girl who doesn't know whether she can enter the door, the queen mother can send someone to mutilate my wife and children at will like this?" ”

Yan Xi's voice was trembling, "Your Highness forgives the sin, the slave pushed the fourth imperial concubine, but just to give birth prematurely, the county lord can even cure the pox epidemic, and she will definitely be able to keep the little prince safe." ”

Butong seemed to hear the point,

"Keep the little prince safe, so how will the adults be treated?"

How vicious is it to go to the mother and keep the child?

Yan Xi didn't dare to speak, Mu Hesheng said the answer that everyone knew,

"Ah Yao is greedy, eats bigger, now no one in the house knows, once she gives birth in less than a month, it must be very difficult, once there is any accident, all the stable women will definitely keep the child first, and the life of an adult is nine deaths."

Butong nodded,

"It's a good plan, not only to keep His Royal Highness's first child, but also to get rid of the daughter-in-law who is not used to seeing it."

Sure enough, it is good to be born in modern times, and the mother-in-law is not used to seeing her daughter-in-law as a demon at most, and the worst ending is just divorce, but now in this year, if you meet a strong mother-in-law, I am afraid that I will not be able to save my life.

Bu Tong shuddered,

"Niangniang really believes me, Bu Tong is only shallow and only understands some folk earthwork, how can I cure a woman's dystocia, is it possible that the queen thinks of me to save the child, do you come to be a stepmother?"

Yan Xi hurriedly denied it,

"The slave doesn't dare, as long as everything in the Four Princes' Mansion is back on track, and the slaves are allowed to act cheaply, the slaves heard that the four princesses will definitely be difficult to give birth to, so they came up with this ......"

Butong got up and walked around in this small room,

"Sister Yao is already difficult to give birth, if she is born prematurely, she will definitely have a difficult birth if she lacks strength, if I can barely save the son, it will be the best, Yan Xi, you have a good idea for your master."

There are not many things on the dresser, a horn comb has been used for a long time, Bu Tong picked it up and looked at it, the comb was engraved with the words "Lin Xi", Bu Tong smiled,

"It turned out to be the word 'Xi', but who gave it to you, I guess it won't be your father?"

Lin Xi turned his body slightly, "If you go back to the county lord, the slave's father and mother don't know a single big character, only know that the family name is Lin, and the word 'Xi' was given by the queen." ”

Butong put down the comb and continued walking,

"Do you know what that means?"

Yan Xi only said "I don't know".

Butong is too lazy to explain at the moment,

"If you have the opportunity, thank you for my kindness, but the friendship between His Royal Highness the Four Princes and the Four Imperial Concubines is not something that can be destroyed by the palace, it is better to let Niangniang act cautiously, don't be kind, but it cuts off the relationship between mother and son."

Mu Hesheng immediately got up and said coldly, "In the future, you will go to the back to do rough work, since the queen mother has rewarded you to me, how to use it is up to me, if there is anything to Ah Yao and the son, I will never spare it." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, Bu Tong looked at the people on the ground when he left, and couldn't help but speak,

"'Xi' Zi originally meant 'slave', and later it was used to describe 'female slave', which is a good name, but you have been driven by human slavery all your life and don't know it, which is also sad."

Yan Xi couldn't kneel anymore and sat aside.

Bu Tong followed Mu Hesheng out of the door, the night became darker and darker, and the dark clouds in the sky shrouded the soft moonlight, which was so stuffy that people couldn't breathe.

"Fourth Highness," Tang Xuanlin came over from afar dressed in black, "Your Majesty has brought the best medical officers from Dongchang, what happened to the imperial concubine and sister-in-law?" ”

Bu Tong stepped forward,

"Xuanlin, Sister Yao's condition is not very good, she has not started to give birth before she has exhausted her strength, and I don't know how long I can hold on."

Tang Xuanlin's eyebrows and eyes immediately tightened,

"Why is it all of a sudden? But who is in the house? ”

Bu Tong looked at Mu Hesheng, who was stunned on the side, and looked back at the small courtyard where the two walked out.

"The actions of the queen mother are really shocking."

As smart as Tang Xuanlin, he naturally understood the meaning of this instantly, and could only be relieved,

"Your Highness is relieved ......"

Mu Hesheng suddenly grabbed Tang Xuanlin, vaguely crying,

"Xuanlin, what should I do? What am I going to do? If something happens to Ah Yao, I go to see Ji Chuan in the future, how should I explain to him, I can't even protect his last relative, I owe Ji Chuan and Ji Yao, but I can't save them, why can't the queen mother even tolerate a Yao, why ......"

Bu Tong didn't know how to persuade him, maybe the current queen mother had indeed forgotten the absurdity of Mu Hesheng and Ji Chuan, and began to dislike Ji Yao's background and other things.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Bu Tong will do his best to keep Sister Yao's mother and son safe," Bu Tong said this sentence in a deep voice, only feeling overwhelmed in his heart.

Mu Hesheng suddenly woke up like a dream and looked up at Butong, Tang Xuanlin was worried that he would fall, so he stretched out his hand to protect it carefully, but Mu Hesheng breathed heavily,

"Ah Tong, Ah Tong, you must remember that if it comes to the time when your life hangs by a thread, I will give up my son and mother, and I only need Ah Yao."

Bu Tong felt nostalgic and made a deep salute, "The courtiers take orders." ”

……

When the three of them returned to the back, it was a mess again, Bu Tong hurriedly went to the back room, Tang Xuanlin just instructed,

"Anything you need me to do, just send someone to talk to me."

Butong nodded,

"I know."

The two saw each other for a short time, and then they were separated by a heavy curtain, Butong went into the house, but saw the bed dripping with blood, the mother-in-law was pale, and at a loss, when he saw Butong coming in, he pounced on him like a life-saving straw.

"County Lord, you're here, take a look at the imperial concubine."

"The imperial concubine has exhausted her strength, but Her Royal Highness has not shown her head yet, and her mother has been in a coma many times, how can this be good?"

"His Royal Highness the Prince hasn't come out yet, and Niangniang has already collapsed in blood, but it's not good."

What the?!

Bu Tong felt that his tongue was numb, and hurriedly went to the bed, "Sister Yao? ”

Ji Yao's forehead was full of sweat, her black hair was sticky, her lips were pale, and she opened her eyes slightly, "Ah Tong......"

Butong held her cold hand tightly,

"Sister Yao, cheer up, just hold on a little longer, just hold on."

Looking back at the little maid who silently shed tears, "What are you crying about?" What about the elixir? ”

The little maid opened the box tremblingly and took out another one, "If you go back to the county lord, you have been fed all the time, but the lady is still getting weaker and weaker." ”

Bu Tong lifted the quilt under Ji Yao's body and took a look, and the strong smell of blood came to his face, "How can this be?" Something is wrong. ”

Wen Po still insisted, "It's not a good ...... for the child to collapse before he shows his head."

"Shut up!" Bu Tong scolded unceremoniously, commanded the mothers-in-law to pull the quilt on their hands, leaned over to take a look, this look was not tight, and his body was suddenly covered with cold sweat,

"Blind your dog's eyes, can't you see that the son of the world has come out?!"

Wen Po hurriedly took a closer look, and patted her thighs in surprise and jumped on the spot, "God, it was the legs that came out first, this, how good is this!" ”

Butong doesn't understand these, but he also knows that if the child with hips is born by luck, he is afraid that he will also have a heavy sequelae because of choking on amniotic fluid, whether it is or not in this era without an incubator, it is impossible to treat, thinking of this, he simply tried his best, and turned back and ordered,

"Go, fetch an altar of spirits for the main palace, and ask for the strongest."

The mother-in-law didn't understand, but they still followed Butong's instructions to get it.

Butong pulled a young palace maid by hand,

"You, go to the door and tell Master Tang in Dongchang that you must find the carriage of the Four Princes' Mansion to pick up the medical girl in the palace, and bring it back to the house quickly, the fetal position of the imperial concubine is not correct, and the situation is afraid that it is urgent, and there will be an urgent need for injections later, and it cannot be delayed for a moment."

It could be seen that the palace maid was trembling after hearing Tang Xuanlin's name, but she hurriedly turned around to pass the word, so Bu Tong was about to start a bold move, looked down at her delicate little hands, and said with a wry smile,

"It's appropriate."

Taking advantage of the gap under him, Bu Tong stroked Ji Yao's messy hair and spoke softly,

"Sister Yao, our little Shizi is too anxious to come out to see his mother, the position is a little wrong, wait for Ah Tong to reach in and give Xiao Shizi a correct position, can my sister believe me?"

Ji Yao held Bu Tong's hand tightly, "Ah Tong, you must keep this child, he is the only bit of blood in his brother, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will not blame us, we all did our best, right, Tong'er?" ”

Butong nodded tearfully,

"It's going to be fine, you and the child will be fine."

Ji Yao cried with a red nose and eyes, but still smiled softly when she heard the words, "I believe you, except for Your Highness in this world, I believe in Ah Tong the most." ”

Bu Tong nodded, reached out to touch her face, and brought two pills from the side to feed her, "Sister Yao just need to endure it." ”

The mother-in-law came back with the wine tank, Bu Tong picked up the wine on the side, scooped up a full one, and poured it directly under Ji Yao's body, the cold touch made Ji Yao tremble, Bu Tong handed the wine to the mother-in-law on the side,

"Give me a drink."

The mother-in-law was shocked, "Is the county lord going to turn the child around with his hands?" ”

Butong raised his eyes to look at her,

"Do you have any other good plans besides this now?"

The mother-in-law hurriedly lowered her head to serve the wine, and poured it on Butong's hand, and for a while, the room was full of the smell of blood mixed with the aroma of wine, which merged into a peculiar taste, the breath of death......

Bu Tong took a deep breath, squatted at the end of Ji Yao's bed, several mothers-in-law supported the quilt in each corner, Bu Tong stabilized his heartbeat, reached out to hold the half-exposed purple and pink feet, Ji Yao snorted, but in his best efforts, Bu Tong's heart was horizontal, and he slowly put his hand in.

Warm and sticky, this is a hotbed for a mother to give her child, but now she has to welcome an uninvited guest.

Bu Tong gritted his teeth tightly and groped for a bunch of soft mud, and finally touched the child's body, holding the position of the neck and slowly reversing it, seeing that he was about to return to his position, he hurriedly comforted Ji Yao,

"Sister Yao held on, I found it! Right away. ”

After saying this, the child's head was already broken back, Bu Tong quickly withdrew his hand and tried his best to take it out, and now the top of the child's swarthy head was in front of him.

"It's done! The county lord has really become! The mother-in-law cheered.

Ji Yao finally pulled out a slight smile, but the blood on his face retreated by three points.

Bu Tong ignored his bloody hands and hurried to the side of the bed,

"Sister Yao, now is the most important time, hold back your strength, give birth to the child in one go, and work hard, Sister Yao."

The mothers-in-law came on the field one after another, and Butong couldn't help here, so he had to step aside and let the palace maids on his side clean the injured blood for himself, the water in the basin was instantly bright red, and Butong looked at the basin full of red, and only felt that the heartbeat had never been so loud......

With Ji Yao's muffled scream, the exclamations of the mother-in-law and girls finally came from the ears, "It's born!" It's Xiao Shizi! ”

The child's clear cry woke up the dark and oppressive night, and everyone's appearance suddenly bloomed with joy, and they all said joy, Butong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and walked to the bed with vain steps,

"Sister Yao, did you hear it, it's a little son, listen to this cry, how energetic."

Ji Yao opened her eyes weakly, and smiled at the corners of her chapped mouth, "Yes, what a cry." ”

Bu Tong hurriedly urged the mothers-in-law on the side,

"Quickly wash and wash the little prince, and bring it to the imperial concubine to see."

Smiled and turned back,

"Your Royal Highness is relieved to be like this......

Before the words fell, I only felt that Ji Yao's eyes were getting smaller and smaller, and her breathing became short, so she hurriedly shook it, "Sister Yao, don't sleep, wait a minute, after seeing Xiao Shizi, the sky is about to dawn, and the nobles of all the mansions will definitely come in to congratulate her, and my sister is not good to fall asleep." ”

Bu Tong was really uneasy in his heart, this was the messy Wen Po who was cleaning up at the end of the bed suddenly exclaimed, hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, and looked at Bu Tong in a panic, Bu Tong hurriedly stepped forward to look, and the moment she lifted the quilt, her heart was cold.

The bedding under his body was stained with blood, which was shocking......
