Ning Wei, Li Yi and the others failed to enter the house, and only stood at the door in a hurry.

Everyone knows how strict the assessment of this prince is, and since the date has been set, it naturally cannot be rescheduled.

But now it's better to have a sudden stomach ache, which really doesn't bode well.

"Girl, you must take care of the princess, the imperial doctor will be here soon!" Ning Wei was so anxious that he could only say so.

"Don't worry, the slave will definitely do it!"

Qingqiang nodded anxiously, closed the door, and trotted to take care of Ning Ke on the bed.

"Princess, how are you feeling, is it still painful?" Qingqiang looked at Ning Ke's pale little face, worried.

In ancient times, giving birth to a child was a ghost gate, and I don't know how many people couldn't resist it.

And the first queen, who is Ning Ke's mother, also died of heavy bleeding after giving birth to Ning Ke.

Ning Ke's hair was soaked in cold sweat, and it was wet and sticking to her face, making her face even more pale and fragile, but she never snorted, biting her lower lip and shaking her head, "It's not very painful......

"The princess...... Is it red now?" "After all, Mama Wang is older, and she knows some experience in giving birth, so she has prepared hot water, scissors and other things early.

Ning Ke shook his head, "No, the amniotic fluid hasn't broke." I don't feel like the kids are coming out that soon. ”

"Then how can it hurt?" Qingqiang didn't understand, and said anxiously: "Doesn't it hurt until you give birth?"

Mama Wang shook her head helplessly, "I don't know, but if you want to give birth, some people will start to hurt a few days in advance, and you can't give birth at the beginning." ”

"Then ......" Qingqiang was even more worried, and her finger joints were pulled snow-white by herself, "Then if it hurts like this all the time, it will be assessed tomorrow, what should I do!"

She didn't dare to say anything more serious, in case the princess gave birth to a child during the assessment...... Isn't that even harder!

Ning Ke took a deep breath, probably because the pain eased, her face was a little better, she stretched out her hand and called Qingqiang, "You help me sit up, and Mama, you go and bring my medical kit." ”

"Princess, what are you going to do!" Qingqiang's eyes widened in shock, and the decibels of her voice were several degrees higher, "You don't want to ...... yourself"

"Hurry up!"

Ning Ke lowered her voice and drank, Qingqiang pursed her mouth, her eyes were red aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything, she carefully helped Ning Ke up, put a pillow behind her waist, and let her lean comfortably against the head of the bed.

Mama Wang quickly went to bring the medical kit, Ning Ke dictated it herself, and asked Qingqiang to take out the appropriate gold needle, and she took it again.

"Help me untie my clothes...... Ning Ke's labor pain came again, she frowned tightly, and she didn't even have the strength to undress for a while.

"Princess......." Qingqiang's eyes were red and she wanted to cry, "Don't ...... by yourself We can wait for the Imperial Doctor to see. ”

Ning Ke glanced at her weakly, "Do you believe in the Imperial Doctor or me?"

"Of course it's you, Princess. ”

"Aren't you hurrying then?

"No, no, the slave will help you right away!"

was bluffed by Ning Ke like this, Qingqiang didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately did what Ning Ke asked.

"Princess...... You must be careful!" Qingqiang finally told him with great anxiety.

Ning Ke snorted, and then concentrated on finding the acupuncture points on her body, applying the needles one by one, and the movements were extremely careful and slow, better than any time, even though she was already very skilled.

It took her a quarter of an hour to complete what she could have done quickly, and the moment she put down the golden needle, her whole body was prostration.

"Okay, the pain has stopped for the time being, as long as I can survive tomorrow, everything will be fine. ”

"Won't this be bad for the baby?" Qingqiang was a little worried that those golden needles would affect the baby's health, and she was worried no matter how she thought about it.

Ning Ke smiled reluctantly, "No, I know it myself." I only temporarily relieved the pain and did not suppress the baby to come out. ”

She's not comforting Qingqiang, that's a fact.

Everything has its own laws of development, and she must not exert external force for the sake of assessment to prevent the baby from being born.

For her, nothing is more important than a child! Similarly, this is also Chu Junyue's expectation, everything must be based on her own safety, and everything else is outside the body!

After the injection, Ning Ke's stomach did not hurt anymore, and he was safe and sound all night, and the baby had no intention of coming out.

While Ning Ke breathed a sigh of relief, he was also worried about whether the baby would suddenly be born during the assessment.

"Princess, the slave thinks you should be careful, and go with the golden needle! Also, don't wear those cumbersome palace skirts, it's too tiring. ”

When she was changing Ning Ke's clothes in the morning, Qingqiang began to nag again, Ning Ke felt that she was reasonable, so she didn't wear a heavy palace skirt, but only wore her usual comfortable and loose plain clothes. By the way, she hid some gold needles and safe medicines for pregnant women in her sleeve.

Outside the hall, Ning Wei, Li Yi and the others were waiting early, to be precise, they didn't leave at all. Ning Ke had a stomachache, and they kept watch outside the door for a night.

Chun Yuyan and Helian Yue came early in the morning, and they looked like they had something on their minds, both of them had impatience and worry on their faces, and they looked at the sky from time to time, as if they were in a hurry.

As soon as Ning Ke walked out of the hall with the help of Qingqiang, a group of people surrounded her and asked her about her physical condition.

"Don't worry, it's okay for the time being. Ning Ke smiled and comforted everyone.

Ning Wei breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, it's okay, as long as you get through today, everything will be easy!"

"Yes, after the assessment, everything is easy. Li Yi also nodded.

Ning Ke smiled, raised his eyes to look at Chun Yuyan and Helian Yue outside the crowd, the two of them stood awkwardly outside and didn't come in, their faces looked very anxious.

"Why are you here too? Are you having a good time these days?"

In the past few days, Chun Yuyan and Helian Yue have not followed her to live in the palace, saying that the palace is boring and they want to have fun outside. Unexpectedly, so early in the morning, the two came.

Instinctively, she smelled that something was happening.

Really.

Chun Yuyan was the first to speak, "Xiao Keke, we are here to say goodbye to you, we are going back to North Vietnam." ”

"Now?" Ning Ke frowned, how could it be so coincidental? It happened to be the time when she was going to take the assessment!

Could it be that something happened in North Vietnam?

"Sister Ke'er, we actually don't have anything to do, we just miss home. Helian Yue squeezed out a smile on her face, and smiled very reluctantly, but in order to convince Ning Ke, she performed very hard, "We've been out for too long......! I wrote a lot of letters and kept urging us to go back, and this time I sent someone directly. ”

Without waiting for Ning Ke to speak, Helian Yue hugged Chun Yuyan's arm, raised her head with a smile, and said loudly: "The most important thing is that we should be engaged when we go back! I have waited for so many years, and I have finally arrived! Sister Ke'er, we forgive you for not inviting you this time, because you are so busy and have a baby in your belly." Wait for next time!When we get married, Sister Ke'er will definitely bring the baby with her!"

Although she said it happily, she looked a little sad at this parting.

Chun Yuyan didn't say anything, didn't admit or deny it, turned his head, didn't look at Ning Ke's eyes, but the fist in his sleeve was already squeaking.

"That's good!" Ning Ke raised his eyebrows and smiled sincerely, "Then congratulations, when I'm done, I'll definitely go to North Vietnam to find you." ”

Chun Yuyan silently bit the root, but still didn't say anything, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes - she heard that he was going to get married, she was so happy, and she didn't regret it at all. It seems that she doesn't have him in her heart at all!

"Then let's talk about it!" Helian Yue laughed, took a blood-red silver gem from his neck, and stuffed it into Ning Ke's hand himself, and when he spoke again, his eyes were already red, "Sister Ke'er, give this to the baby, don't forget me!

Ning Ke wet her eyes movingly, she cherished it next and put it on her neck, and then opened her hands and hugged He Lianyue, "I will definitely miss your ......"

"Helian Yue, don't grind, grind, rub, rub, we should go!"

Chun Yuyan finally couldn't hold on to the sadness of parting, so he drank a low word, turned around and walked down the steps.

Helian Yue bit her lip, glanced at Ning Ke with red eyes, as if she had made an important decision, and suddenly let go of Ning Ke, "Sister Ke'er, take care!

After speaking, Huo Ran turned around and quickly chased after Chun Yuyan.

At the moment of turning around, the tears could not be stopped and flooded.

Chun Yuyan tilted his head and walked resolutely, but the light in the corner of his eyes had already betrayed him—the road home ahead, and perhaps the road to darkness.

North Vietnam is no longer the home when he left, his father is gone, tribal strife and infighting, home is not home, country is not country, he goes back this time, he may not be able to live goodbye.

I don't know if I can see you again.

Little Keke, you must be happy!

Outside the Yuhuang Palace, Ning Ke seemed to have sensed it, and the rising sun blurred the distant figures of the two, she slowly released the fist in her sleeve and commanded in a low voice.

"Send the hidden guards to follow them, don't show up until the important moment, be sure to protect them to get home safely. ”

Even though they tried hard to pretend, the acting was too clumsy, and she could see through it at a glance.

But her friend's will cannot be violated, and she only hopes that her friend will have a safe journey and a good life.

*

The prince's assessment was set up in the Lingxiao Palace, and the ministers who participated in the voting were all present, including the city lords, which means that Yin Qiushui was also present at the scene.

The first time Yin Qiushui saw Ning Ke, he probably guessed that something was wrong with her body, and her face became worried, but because of the serious occasion of the assessment, she couldn't bear to ask.

The examination was jointly organized by the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy, and Peng Ge was the oldest, and he gave a short speech at the beginning, and immediately began to enter the assessment process.

There are four test questions, which involve four aspects: military, business, agriculture, and politics.

The first question Ning Ke got was farming, she glanced at the question, and the whole person was stunned for a moment - this kind of question? This can also be called a topic? This is too ......
