Songao Village, Dongzhou, Huainan.

Songao Village is very quiet at night. It is a small fishing village by the sea.

The sea breeze and mountain breeze were howling, and the air was extremely humid.

Unlike the capital, it rains nine out of ten days here.

The candle flames kept swaying in the wind. Cailan and Caiwei were carrying basins of blood, going in and out while crying.

"How is Concubine Xie?" The deposed Crown Prince Zhou Jingrui, with an unshaven beard, sat in the outer room of the house and asked the crying Cai Lan.

Cai Lan cried and said, "Your Highness, please find a good midwife. The concubine is dying..."

But where can I find a good midwife?

The one delivering Xie Tingting's baby right now is the best midwife from several nearby villages. It is said that all the babies in these villages were delivered by her.

Wei Chuchu's lips were dry and cracked. She hugged her son and comforted Zhou Jingrui in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, don't worry. Giving birth to a child is like going through the gates of hell. I went through this too."

"Ah~"

As they were talking, there was another sharp scream, accompanied by the midwife's exclamation: "Madam, please push harder, push harder, my God, how many supplements did you take when you were pregnant? Why is the baby so big?"

The prince couldn't stand Xie Tingting's screams and said to Cai Lan and Cai Wei, "Shut up the concubine's mouth. She will attract others if she screams like that."

Walk out of the house.

Wei Chuchu also walked out, fearing that the child would be frightened.

The two walked through the yard until they could no longer hear Tiffany Xie's screams.

His restless heart was unable to calm down, so he ate half a pill of the panacea. He left in such a hurry that he forgot to bring the pill with him, so he had to eat it sparingly.

Following behind him were several shadow guards.

"Have you contacted Lord Cheng'en?"

Zhou Jingrui was used to calling Wei Jingzhong "Duke Cheng'en", just like other people were used to calling him Prince.

"Your Highness, Duke Cheng'en took the male members of the Wei family to the northwest."

The Wei family has been operating in the northwest for three generations. According to information obtained by royal spies, Wei Anyuan has stationed 300,000 troops in the four states of Chang'an, Yongxing, Qinfeng and Hedong in the northwest.

These four states are basically the Wei family's sphere of influence.

There were only fourteen prefectures in the entire Daqian, and he controlled four of them.

Moreover, the four states are all located on the border and have close ties with Western Xia, Uighur, Tubo and even Liao.

"Have you told him that I am in Huainan?"

"Yes, Lord Cheng'en said..."

"say what?"

"He told His Highness to take care of himself, and he couldn't take care of him anymore." The shadow guard said mechanically, "Lord Cheng'en said that Wei Anyuan wanted to proclaim himself emperor in the northwest."

After hearing this, Zhou Jingrui didn't say anything for a long time.

He was abandoned, abandoned by his father, the emperor, and also abandoned by Duke Cheng'en.

Now he is a lost dog.

Wei Chuchu hid away with the child in her arms. After the shadow guard and the deposed crown prince finished their report, she came over with the child and said, "Your Highness, let's go back to the capital and ask for forgiveness from our father."

"No, I will definitely die if I go back." Zhou Jingrui said, "I have to keep a low profile. My father is in poor health. After he dies, I will fight my way back to the imperial city."

Wei Chuchu didn't say anything.

Looking at Zhou Jingrui, who was in high spirits after taking the panacea, he wondered whether he could live to see His Majesty's death a hundred years later. It was hard to say.

In the dark fishing hut, Tiffany Xie exerted her strength again and again, and screamed again and again.

Before the prince forced the emperor to abdicate, he took her and Wei Chuchu away from the tunnel and ordered the guards to send them all the way to Huainan. They were originally in the city, but later the attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, and the prince escaped under the protection of his subordinates.

After searching every house in the city, they had no choice but to live in this remote fishing village.

She still had a month to give birth, but because of all this, she went into labor prematurely.

The midwife and wet nurse who were prepared before did not come with them, and now in such a hurry, they could only find the midwife named Aunt Chen in front of them.

Aunt Chen usually delivers babies from the countryside, where there are no such large fetuses. In addition, country women usually do farm work and are strong, so giving birth is not that difficult at all.

Tiffany Hsieh was only fifteen years old and had been spoiled since childhood. The baby was unusually large, and even though the fetal head was facing downwards, it was still extremely difficult to give birth.

She had been crying and wailing for two days, but was unable to give birth.

In a trance, she saw Xu.

Mrs. Xu looked at her without saying anything, just crying.

She stretched out her hand and cried, "Mother, please save me, I am in so much pain, I can't give birth!"

Xu just stood in front of the bed, her mouth opening and closing: "This is all Xie Zhaozhao's fault. If her husband hadn't brought people to rescue him, the Crown Prince would have succeeded in forcing the emperor to abdicate, and you would be the Queen... It's all her fault, she is the culprit."

Xie Tingting cried and said: "Mother, go and kill Xie Zhaozhao, kill her!"

Xu is missing.

She saw Xie Xiangxiang again.

Xie Xiangxiang stood in front of her bed, her face full of sarcasm, and said: "Aren't you going to marry the prince? Why did you come to this remote fishing village?

Didn't I tell you to steal the letter from father's room? If you steal the letter, Xie Fu will die, Xie Zhaozhao will die, Gu Shaoyu will all die, and the prince will be able to become emperor.

You didn't listen, so you deserve today's consequences!"

Aunt Chen looked at Xie Tingting waving her hands, with regret and ferocity on her face, and her breath gradually weakened.

She ran out in panic, looking for Zhou Jingrui, but Zhou Jingrui was not there.

"What should we do? If she faints, isn't that the end? How can she fall asleep while giving birth?"

Aunt Chen said anxiously, "I've been delivering babies for so many years, and I've never seen such a difficult birth. I don't care anymore, please find someone else!"

Cai Lan and Cai Wei knelt down and begged her, crying, "Auntie, please be kind. My... Miss is still young and has a long life ahead of her. If you save her, I will give you money and anything else you want in the future."

"Then have you decided whether to save the big one or the small one?" Aunt Chen is risking everything. If she doesn't hurry up, neither the big one nor the small one will be saved.

Cai Lan whispered, "Aunt Chen, Bao Da, you must save the young lady's life. The young lady is still young, you must save her life."

Holding Xie Tingting's hand, he said, "Miss, you must hold on. I have sent people to the capital to ask Princess Yurong for help."

When Aunt Chen heard the words "Her Royal Highness the Princess," she asked tremblingly, "Who are you? How do you know the princess?"

Cai Lan wiped her tears and said, "Our young master has done business in the capital and has some friendship with the princess."

Make an excuse.

Caiwei said to the guards at the door: "Go find the young master and ask him to come back and make a decision as soon as possible."

The guards hurriedly went to look for Zhou Jingrui. Zhou Jingrui's excitement from taking the elixir had just passed, so he followed them back.

When he heard that they had to choose between saving the big and the small, he angrily said, "Of course we have to save both the big and the small."

"But now we can't keep both, we can only choose one." Aunt Chen said with a sad face, "In fact, we may not be able to keep either the big one or the small one."

"Then keep the young one," Wei Chuchu made the decision, "The young master has few offspring, and children are precious."

Aunt Chen had no choice but to resort to almost the most cruel method in the world to take the baby out, completely disregarding the mother's body and forcibly pulling the baby out.

Tiffany Xie woke up in extreme pain. The past ten years flashed before her eyes. In her dying moments, she looked at Cailan and Caiwei who were crying beside the bed. She tried to look for several times, but did not see Zhou Jingrui.

Thinking about how Gu Shaoyu and Xie Yu led the troops to rescue the emperor, which resulted in the prince's failure and she missed the position of queen, she felt really unwilling!

His lips trembled several times, and he said, "Gu Shaoyu, Xie Yu, you will not die well..."

Cai Lan held her hand and cried, "Miss, don't worry. When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns to the Imperial City, he will definitely cut off their heads and destroy their entire mansion."

The light in Xie Tingting's eyes gradually faded, and before she died, she shouted, "Xie Zhaozhao, I hate you..."

Exhausted!
