Prayers, prayers, and sacrifices always carry a prestige that cannot be questioned in the hearts of the people. So Qingrong's promise also made those people temporarily "calm down", it is a good thing to be able to calm down, and this will not do anything out of the ordinary. Soon, the troublemakers were driven away by the guards and a few government soldiers.

The place that had just been surrounded by water immediately became empty and open. Gao joined the army before leaving, and after Qingrong thanked him, he asked him to go to Lu Changshi's house to see the situation. Gao Senjun replied repeatedly, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, does this Lu really have the ability to ask for rain for the people? If you can't get it, how will it end?

It seems that Qingrong didn't intend to say anything more to him at all, and after a few polite words, he sent the person away with a smile. The monks who came to help from the Thousand Buddha Temple did not stay for a long time, and when they saw that everyone was scattered, they also planned to leave and leave.

Qingrong asked someone to stay, "Master stay, today I am fortunate to have you come to help, the scorching sun is in the sky, the weather is unbearable, and people are really hard, since you are here, it is better to go to the house and sit for a while, so that I can express my gratitude a little." ”

Seeing that Qingrong said this, several monks were not easy to refuse, saluted and thanked her for her kindness, and followed Yun Niang into the front yard of the Xue family.

Qingrong asked people to prepare sour plum soup and serve it to Yun Niang.

Maybe it was because Empty Silence had been paying attention to her expression, so when Qingrong's gaze swept over, he immediately understood. Coincidentally, he also had something to ask. He walked behind and followed Qingrong to the side of the hall without saying a word.

After a two-year absence, I didn't expect to see you again, but it was in such a situation, which was really infuriating.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for it."

Thinking that she was talking about what she said about blocking the stone for her just now, she shook her head and said, "It's just a trivial matter, how can you take a word of thanks, Mrs. doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Qingrong chuckled and said, "It should be." ”

She looked at the emptiness, and was a little unsure in her heart, and said: "The truth about the donation of incense from the Thousand Buddha Temple, Master Jueming... Told you all? ”

Sora shook his head, "No." ”

Qingrong was a little surprised, "Then you..."

"I know." Empty silence paused, and said calmly, "I can guess the reason for this. ”

Qingrong looked at the emptiness again, and just asked, "Isn't the mage blamed?" ”

Empty silence shook his head and chuckled, "Don't hide it from Mrs., at first there was, but then I didn't think about it, so I was relieved, and naturally I don't have to blame it." ”

Is that so? Seeing his calm expression, Qingrong suddenly wanted to ask, "Then the mage thinks, shouldn't I blame these people today?" ”

Empty silence was stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Qingrong to ask like this, he didn't know how to judge. It wasn't him who was attacked, even if he could understand Qingrong's feelings, he couldn't really empathize with her, just like his previous self... Even if Xue Shaodu has already apologized to himself, how much can others understand the taste in his heart? In the face of this matter, even if he does not want to see contradictions, he is not qualified to persuade people to forgive and not blame.

"But hasn't Madame already decided to help those people?"

Qingrong said: "If the mage tells me the truth, then I won't hide it from the mage, and I just do this because I want to protect myself." I'm nowhere near what the mage thinks... Compassion and generosity. ”

Not to pursue it, not because she is compassionate and generous, but just to protect herself and the people she cares about.

Empty silence did not speak.

Qingrong smiled and said, "Although the mage is virtuous and generous, he doesn't care about many things. But I still remember the favor I owe to the mage... This time, it was regarded as a gift from me to the Master. ”

Empty silence didn't understand what Qing Rong meant, but before he could ask, he heard Qing Rong say, "I don't know if I set up this ritual, can I ask the mage to help me?" ”

Empty silence was in a dilemma for a while, "Amitabha, but I am really not sure that I can help my wife resolve this difficulty." ”

What if you don't pray for rain? Did she really want to leave Xizhou at this time? He wanted to ask at the beginning, but Sora felt that Qingrong was too impulsive and risky this time... Thinking so, he asked.

But Qingrong just smiled, but in turn relieved the empty silence, "Mage don't worry, I have my own way, but I don't know if the mage is willing to help me run the ceremony?" ”

Seeing her confident look, although she was puzzled, she still agreed: "I will do what I want." ”

……

"I don't know how those people can endure it, it's such a hot day, and they're also guarding outside." Ah Zhen couldn't help wiping her sweat while muttering to Song Yue.

Song Yue can also understand, although they have done too much, but if they are not in a hurry, there is really no way, and they really will not make this decision to embarrass Mrs... In the end, God still refuses to make people feel better.

She took out the sour plum soup in the well water and divided it into several tea bowls, "Eh, it's actually just for livelihood, let's not talk about this, you go in quickly, don't let a few masters wait for a long time." I'm going to ask Madame to come. ”

Not long after Ah Zhen brought the sour plum soup in, Qingrong also came over with the empty silence, and a bowl of cold sour plum soup went down to his stomach, and he poured the heat from the outside clean.

When everyone saw Qingrong coming, they got up and thanked them.

Before he could say a few words, someone from outside hurriedly ran in, having something to report. Seeing this, Ah Zhen picked up the curtain and went out, and when she came back, her steps were a little unsteady.

"What?"

"The guards over there from Changshi came to report, Mrs. Cui seems to be frightened and has a fetal gas, I'm afraid she is going to give birth this time!"

"What!" Qingrong stood up when he heard the sound, Lu Kaiyan went to the Qiuzi Protectorate to see the Governor of Ju at this time, he just left yesterday, and this happened today! How can this be!

"Let's go over now!"

Seeing that there were still people, she apologized to several monks and said, "I'm really sorry, there is something important now, I can't entertain you, please forgive me." ”

When those people heard it, they also understood that this Mrs. Changshi was at a critical juncture, where did she dare to delay the hour, and hurriedly said that it didn't matter, and said that she would go over with Qingrong and pray for Mrs. Cui.

This Qingrong also knows that whether it is in Yongcheng or Xizhou, there is a custom of asking monks and their female relatives to recite sutras and pray when the woman gives birth. So she didn't refuse, and left one to report to the Thousand Buddha Temple, and the rest followed her to Cui Liniang's house in a hurry.

Who knew that there were still people blocking the door here. Qingrong was in a hurry, and said what he had just said again, and called the guards to clear the way, so that it was easy to drive these people away.

Qingrong hurriedly entered, and someone inside greeted him.

Qingrong asked, "Did you go to the doctor?" ”

The maid nodded hurriedly and said, "Tell someone to go over the wall!" This time it's time to be on the way here! ”

"I'll go and see your wife, don't panic, just keep an eye on it. Leave two people to guard the door, go and boil more hot water, ask the kitchen to prepare some good food, and when the doctor comes, please come over immediately! ”

A few maids in Cui Liniang's family were panicking, and when they saw Qingrong coming, they were willing to come out to preside over the situation, and they were also much calmer, and they were busy going down.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the backyard, she could hear Cui Liniang's crying in pain, and Qingrong was a little panicked. Although she has never experienced this kind of thing herself, she has also seen how her sister-in-law gave birth to a child at home, and she naturally knows how thrilling it is... didn't have time to think about it, Qingrong lifted the curtain and walked in quickly.

I saw Cui Liniang curled up on the bed, clutching the futon in her hands, and her dress was stained with dazzling blood. Qingrong was also stunned for a while, Cui Liniang was also very surprised to see that she was coming, she endured the pain and wanted to get up, and asked, "You... How to get over... Finish? ”

Qingrong stepped forward and pressed her, "Don't move!" It's so raw! I heard that you had a tire, and Changshi was not there, so you came here on purpose. ”

Cui Liniang frowned, and was about to speak, when Qingrong stopped her and said, "Okay, okay, Liniang, don't talk yet, keep your strength, if you have anything to say, wait until you give birth to a child safely." Several monks from the Thousand Buddha Temple are here, chanting and praying for you, you will definitely be able to go smoothly, the doctor will come soon, you can bear with it a little longer, don't think about the rest of the things, huh? ”

The last time I came back to see her, it was clear that it was reborn in June, but it turned out that it was only launched in early May. Qingrong knew on the way to come, and those people also came to Lu Changshi, it is estimated that the battle is too big, which scared Cui Liniang...

Cui Liniang's lips turned white in pain, and she nodded forcefully.

"How long has Madame been like this?"

The servant girl's body trembled, "Yes... It's been more than half an hour. ”

Qing Rong couldn't help but say sharply when he heard this, "Half an hour? Why don't you go to the doctor sooner? Can this be delayed? ”

The maid was already very scared, and when she asked like this, she couldn't help but pounce and knelt down, "Yes, it was those people who stopped the door just now, and at the beginning, we... I didn't dare to go out, so I had to guard my wife inside..."

Qingrong looked at Cui Liniang, who was in unbearable pain, and knew that now was not the time to say this, so she waved her hand and said, "Okay, don't cry here, your wife will be fine." Let's go to the kitchen and see if the ginseng soup for Mrs. is ready, and I'll bring it right away! ”

Qingrong looked quite calm, talked with Cui Liniang, diverted her attention, thinking that she could get better, but she was so anxious that she couldn't do it. Suddenly, outside the hospital, Ah Zhen shouted: "The doctor and the midwife are here!" ”

Qingrong immediately got up and comforted Cui Liniang: "Liniang, the doctor and the midwife are here, don't panic, listen to them, and the mother and child will be safe." ”

Cui Liniang's face was frighteningly white at this time, and she nodded a little angrily, Qingrong was about to go out, but Cui Liniang grabbed her hand and refused to let go, "Sanniang, you... Don't go, I'm afraid..."

Qingrong put her first in everything at this time, nodded and said, "Okay, I'm not leaving, I'll wait next to me, you relax, don't be afraid." ”

For a while, the maids in the courtyard went in and out, and the hot water was brought in one basin after another, and the monks who chanted in unison for Cui Liniang in a corner of the courtyard were mixed with a few chaotic voices and bursts of screams that made people listen to the frightened screams... Everyone watched and did their own thing in an orderly manner, but everyone looked nervous, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"Sanniang, if something happens to me... Can you please agree to take care of the general more in the future... Changxuan. "I originally said that I would always accompany him and grow old, but now I can't... Cui Liniang's mind was confused, and she was actually sad.

"What are you talking about! You'll be fine, don't think about it so much! What do you look forward to most in Changshi, you still don't know? You can't bear to leave him alone? He's still waiting for you and the unborn child. ”

Cui Liniang said intermittently, "He... Come back..."

Qingrong clenched her hand hard, and said anxiously: "Changshi is coming back soon, you must wait for him safely!" ”

I don't know how long later, suddenly someone exclaimed, "It's out!" It's out! Madame, harder, harder..."

"Li Niang, Li Niang hold on a little longer!"

Suddenly, the midwife's delightful voice came out of the room, "Congratulations, ma'am! It's a little Langjun! ”

Suddenly, the people in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. Qingrong's hanging heart finally fell, she smiled, but found that her legs were already numb on the side of the bed.

The baby's cry echoed in the room, Cui Liniang looked at Xiao Langjun and smiled, and then felt that her vision was blurred, and even the voice in her ears was blurred...

"Li Niang! Li Niang! ”

Cui Liniang's eyes closed and fell into darkness.
