Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

After Qinghuan left, Hua Manman stayed alone in the secret room, looking at the portraits hanging on the wall in a trance.

Although Mu Qing didn't say anything, but Hua Manman is not blind, Mu Qing obviously has something on her mind, and it has something to do with her, so it's probably not a good thing.

Hua Manman felt uneasy.

The system comforted: "Maybe you think too much, don't worry about it."

Hua Manman looked at the woman in the portrait and murmured softly.

"I also hope that I think too much."

But in this world, things often backfire.

Soon Qinghuan came back.

She seemed to have suffered a big blow, and she was in a trance.

Especially when she saw Princess Zhao, her eyes turned red and she said with a sob.

"My lord...something happened..."

The worry in Hua Manman's heart reached its peak.

She hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the prince?"

Qinghuan was already stuttering, but now she was agitated and stuttered even more. She struggled so much that her face turned red, and she managed to express what she wanted to say clearly.

Hua Manman felt as if struck by lightning, and couldn't believe it: "The prince is dead?"

The system couldn't help exclaiming: "How is this possible?!"

According to the main plot in "Gong Mou", Li Ji should have died after becoming the regent, because of the aggravation of old injuries and the onset of toxicity.

But Li Ji's injury and poison have been cured by Hua Manman.

It stands to reason that he should not die.

Is there another huge turning point in the plot?

The system is still thinking about the reason, but Hua Manman has already collapsed to the side clutching his stomach!

Fortunately, Qinghuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and helped her in time.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?"

Hua Manman's face was pale, and he said with difficulty: "My stomach hurts so much."

Qinghuan was frightened.

She asked hastily: "You...you don't...you still have...prenatal medicine? That medicine...is it useful...?"

Enduring the severe pain, Hua Manman took out the porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Qinghuan helped to pour out the anti-abortion pills in the bottle and fed it to the princess.

After taking the medicine, Hua Manman felt less pain in her stomach, but she still felt a hot liquid flowing out.

She had a bad feeling about it.

Could it be that the amniotic fluid broke?

God seems to be against Hua Manman on purpose, the more she is afraid of something, the more something will come.

She asked Qinghuan to take a look, and she was sure that the amniotic fluid had broken.

When the amniotic fluid breaks, it means that the baby is about to be born.

But there is no need for anything here, how can Huamanman grow?

Qinghuan was so frightened that she was at a loss.

She is still a big girl who has not yet been married, has no experience in giving birth at all, and is completely blind to how to deliver a child.

Her mind is full of what to do? What if the princess is about to give birth?

Hua Manman is actually more panicked than Qinghuan.

But she clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

In fact, as early as during her pregnancy, she had already consulted Feihe Zhenren a lot about giving birth, and she already knew everything she should know.

Even if she has no practical experience, at least she is better than the ignorant Qinghuan.

Hua Manman took a deep breath: "Help me to lie down."

Qinghuan carefully supported her to lie down.

Hua Manman said in a trembling voice while adjusting his breathing.

"You go to Mu Qing and tell her that I'm going to give birth, and she knows what to prepare."

Qinghuan stuttered and said: "Slave...if you leave, you...what if something happens to you...what should you do?"

Hua Manman: "Don't worry, I can hold on for the time being, you go and come back quickly."

Even though Qinghuan was worried, she knew in her heart that even if she stayed here, it would be useless.

She can't deliver.

She had to hurry up and find Mu Qing.

Qinghuan stood up and hurriedly ran towards the exit of the secret passage.

Hua Manman felt the pain in her body becoming more and more intense, but within a short while, her back was already wet with sweat, and the broken hair on her forehead was also wet, sticking to her cheeks.

She turned her head, looked at the portrait hanging on the wall, and prayed silently in her heart——

"If there are gods and Buddhas in this world, I hope they can bless my birth to be safe and smooth."

The woman in the portrait still maintains a dignified and quiet appearance, with soft brilliance in her eyes, like a compassionate female Bodhisattva.

...

The night was dark, and it was quiet outside the city gate.

Vice-General Qiu and Vice-General Dou hid behind a big tree nearby.

The two looked in the direction of the city gate.

Vice-General Dou asked in a low voice: "Will Wu Wang really bring my family back?"

Deputy General Qiu said confidently: "Don't worry, Governor Wu always keeps his word. He has already sent me a letter saying that Ye Xiaowei will send your family out of the city tonight. Do the math." It's about time, your family should be out soon."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of pulling a wooden bolt from behind the city gate.

Vice-General Dou and Vice-General Qiu immediately stopped talking and stared at the city gate intently.

In the hazy night, the tall and majestic city gates slowly opened to both sides, revealing a gap just enough for one person to pass through.

More than a dozen night owl guards escorted a carriage and slowly drove out of it.

Vice General Dou couldn't wait to rush over.

As soon as he opened the car door, he saw his parents, wife and children sitting in the car, and his eyes immediately turned red.

Dou's family also wept with joy.

The family hugged each other.

However, before they could say a few words, Vice General Qiu reminded them.

"This is not a place to talk, let's go quickly, lest General Bian's people find out."

Vice-General Dou wiped away his tears: "Okay, let's go now."

They headed for the pre-arranged hiding place.

According to Vice General Qiu's plan, they had to hide Dou's family first, and after Vice General Dou killed Bian Ziming, Vice General Dou could justifiably take the family back.

However, before they reached their destination, they encountered an ambush.

The other party covered his face, and Vice General Qiu didn't know the other party's identity, so he could only do his best to deal with it.

However, Vice General Dou, who was supposed to fight side by side with him, suddenly turned against him.

Vice General Dou not only failed to help Vice General Qiu, but also killed two Ye Xiaowei, and rushed out in the carriage himself.

Deputy General Qiu and that team of Night Owl Guards were surrounded by heavy siege, and they couldn't pursue them even if they wanted to.

Until now, Vice General Qiu finally realized that he was probably being fooled.

Facts have proved that his guess is correct.

When more than a dozen night owl guards were killed, and only Deputy General Qiu was left alive, those ambush soldiers tore off the veils on their faces, revealing their true colors.

The person at the head is Bian Ziming!

Bian Ziming looked at Lieutenant General Qiu who was covered in wounds and was almost on the verge of collapse, with a smile on his lips, he said coldly

"I have been waiting for this day for a long time, and now I can finally kill you, a traitor."

At the same time, Vice General Dou, who had settled down his family, left and returned, and stood by Bian Ziming's side.

Vice General Qiu looked at them in disbelief.

"You lied to me?!"

Bian Ziming sneered: "This is what we call treating the person in the same way."
