Sheng Shi Merciful Light

As soon as he heard that something happened in the palace, Mou Yu got up anxiously, touched the wound, grinned his teeth and fell down.

Chaoyang hurriedly held him down: "Don't worry."

Le Zhao didn't have time to eat, stood up and said: "We are here, Uncle Mou just rest." Then he greeted Qi Yan, "Notify the martial law in the mansion, all vacations will be cancelled, stay vigilant." He also ordered Wei Shu, who came over, "Call the five hundred elites together, and go to find the master. They should be going in the direction of the palace. Let's meet him." He also ordered people to notify the Julu base and the Chu land liaison officer, and must strengthen vigilance.

……

Le Zhao met the anxious Shui Lianxin on the way, took him into the team, and hurried to catch up with Mu Ci before entering the palace.With the permission of Emperor Deguang, Mu Ci entered the palace with five hundred guards led by Shi Zhi and five hundred guards led by Le Zhao.

The fire started in the direction of the East Palace. Because of the two snowfalls, the fire did not spread too fast, and it was basically extinguished when Emperor Deguang rushed back.

Emperor Deguang asked the little eunuch at the palace gate with a livid face, "How is the queen?"

The little eunuch was specially waiting for the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Half an hour ago, the envoy of the Renming Palace sent a message, saying that the empress had gas in her fetus and was giving birth."

Emperor Deguang's face turned darker, but Mu Ci calmed down and said, "It's okay, Aunt Yuexuan and Xie Siniang are here."

The little eunuch looked pale, and tremblingly said: "Thank you doctor girl... thank you doctor girl..."

Emperor Deguang roared: "Speak up if you have something to say, why are you hesitating?"

"Doctor Xie was imprisoned by the concubine, saying that she... She was secretly giving and receiving with the guards."

Mu Ci couldn't help but frowned, and ordered Shui Lian to say: "Young Master Li Jian, I'll ask you to bring back Xie Siniang's beard and tail. Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!" Give the jade token to Shui Lianxin.

Shui Lianxin knew that saving people at this time was like fighting a fire, so she quickly took the jade pass and disappeared quickly.Mu Ci ordered another fifty elites to go to support them, and still gave the order to shoot to kill.

Emperor Deguang looked nervous, he was afraid that the sword would hurt Concubine Xie, but at this time Concubine Xie was still out to make trouble, so he couldn't help interceding.

It's useless to plead, obviously the ninth brother has been stepped on the bottom line.

Emperor Deguang could only order: "Ms. Xie is a woman of high quality, and it is impossible to do something out of line. Hurry up and ask Peng Yu to investigate the palace and stop the rumors. Anyone who spreads rumors will be killed directly."

Seeing that Emperor Deguang was really angry, the little eunuch responded hurriedly.

……

A group of people rushed to the Hall of Renming, and they obviously saw everyone's nervousness. It was obvious that Empress Mei was in a bad situation, but they didn't hear anyone making a sound.Emperor Deguang saw his concubines giving birth, and they all screamed terribly. He thought Empress Mei had something to do, so he was surprised to go in.

Empress Mei's personal nurse knelt down and stopped him: "The blood room is filthy, Your Majesty cannot enter."

"How is the queen?"

"The empress's life is not in danger."

"Why is there no sound?" Emperor Deguang was very anxious, stretching his neck, wishing he could put his head directly into the delivery room.

"Aunt Yuexuan said that the mother should save some strength and not let her scream so that she will lose strength when she is born." The nanny said.

At this time, Yuexuan heard the voice. Seeing Mu Ci, she didn't care about the blood on her hands. She tried her best to be calm, but there was still a flash of anxiety in her eyes, and said: "Because the prince's east palace is on fire, when the palace people put out the fire, they said that they would break through the four walls. I don't believe that my mother had a private meeting with the guards, but the concubine detained the man and insisted that the empress herself go to lead him. The empress was hit by firefighters on the way. Fortunately, the guards were by her side, but there was no danger. The empress was startled and anxious, but she still had fetal gas. However, the child is already full-term and about to give birth, and there is no serious problem more than ten days earlier. It's just that the empress is worried about Si Niang's situation, and she is afraid that she..."

Xie Siniang was held in the hands of Grand Concubine Xie. If Concubine Xie was more ruthless and asked the guards to really touch her and get "real evidence" on her, who would be able to find out whether it was done by private meeting before or later?If you shut your mouth down a little bit more... There is no proof in death, even more...

Mu Ci hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, the concubine also has the imperial army on her side, and she won't be allowed to mess around. I also invited Mr. Li Jian to rescue her, so it should be fine." Then she was puzzled, "Where did the concubine come to take it away?" Si Niang?"

Yuexuan said: "It's the princess of Dingguo. She was deprived of her title and no longer has the dignity of a princess. She asked her husband to go back to the Northwest Sun's house with her husband. So she brought a few people into the palace to meet the queen. Later, she went to meet the empress. On the way to say goodbye to the concubine, there was a fire accident, and then Si Niang was caught in the chaos..."

Mu Ci's face was grim, but Emperor Deguang smiled miserably, and said, "Ninth Brother, it seems that women's benevolence really harms others and oneself."

Although he didn't find out the truth, Emperor Deguang knew that it was probably his biological mother who, together with outsiders, wanted to put his wife and son to death, and now innocent people were involved.

Only Mu Ci's expression remained unchanged, Wei Liang's tone was very calm, and said: "There won't be any accidents, don't worry."

Because Mu Ci was the God of Dinghai, and her tone was too firm, everyone's hearts were stabilized, and Yue Xuan also smiled, and hurried in to tell the worried Queen Mei to calm her emotions.

Soon Jin Yiwei sent a message back, saying that Xie Siniang was fine, but some imperial guards who were desperately protecting her were injured, so she stayed behind to do first aid for trauma.Shui Lianxin is leading people to protect her.

"En, let the imperial doctor take over and bring Si Niang back." Mu Ci ordered.

Emperor Deguang hurriedly asked Tie Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army: "Where is Princess Dingguo?"

Tie Li said: "Dingguo Princess was not found, the West Palace Gate said that she had already left the palace through the West Fengyi Gate, and she should have set off for the northwest."

Emperor Deguang was furious: "Send someone to chase after me, and they will bring her and Sun Qingqiao back."

Mu Ci stopped him and said: "It's not good to bother the teacher and mobilize the crowd to chase after her. Princess Dingguo has decided that we are concerned about Xie Siniang's reputation, so we can't do anything to her. After all, Siniang's appearance is easy to attract tongues. What, let Si Niang be a man? Her husband, the King of Beihai County, is going to be rewarded this time as a meritorious official for conquering the West. If there is an affair, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the court?"

When Emperor Deguang thought it was indeed the case, he was furious: "That's all?"

Just because Xie Siniang is beautiful...Of course Emperor Deguang didn't really see it.Every time he came to the Queen's side, Xie Siniang would avoid her and never approach him.Emperor Deguang also admired such a self-respecting woman, and she did her best to take care of the queen. Emperor Deguang could not casually damage the reputation of a good woman.

But very aggrieved.

Mu Ci sneered: "How can it be? Although I don't use shady methods, it's not that I don't know how to use them." He ordered Tie Li, "Send someone to find out what happened to Siniang, and then tell Uncle Wang all about it. Let him use it, if there is a need for my third brother and I to cooperate, we will cooperate."

Tie Li agreed and went to work.

Only then did Emperor Deguang feel calm.

It didn't take long for Xie Siniang to come, and Queen Mei also reached an emergency.

Before everyone had time to speak, Xie Siniang only saluted Emperor Deguang and Mu Cifu. Her veil was off, and there was still a bit of blood and dust on her face. That little face was still radiant, making Emperor Deguang dazzled for a moment.But soon, Emperor Deguang found that Xie Siniang and his ninth younger brother looked eighty-tenths alike, and that bit of whimsy was blown away by a breeze like smoke.

Xie Siniang quickly put on a mask and cloth cap, put on a smock, washed her hands, and entered the delivery room to help.

Shui Lianxin silently stood behind Mu Ci.

……

At night, Queen Mei let out a few muffled screams.

For the sake of Mu Ci's body, Emperor Deguang resisted being upset and had dinner with him, and even sent some sweet milk cakes to Empress Mei to replenish her strength.

Just because Mu Ci said that sugary milk cake is more effective than ginseng slices.

Pots of blood poured out until midnight, when Emperor Deguang and Mu Ci heard the first cry of a baby. .”

Emperor Deguang was very happy, and then remembered something and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with the queen? Isn't she pregnant with two?" As soon as the words fell, another cry was heard, which was obviously weaker than the first one.

The nanny beside Empress Mei came out holding a swaddling baby, handed it to Emperor Deguang, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Fourth Prince."

In addition to the first and second princes born to the Xie family, Emperor Deguang also had a third prince who was born to a maidservant who was only two years old.Therefore, the first prince born by Queen Mei ranked fourth.

Emperor Deguang was very happy. Seeing his wrinkled son-in-law smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he said loudly: "Reward, everyone who has made merit today will be rewarded heavily."

A voice of thanks.

Emperor Deguang stretched his neck to look at the delivery room again: "Is there another one?"

But for a long time, no one came out, and there was no report, and then only a few cat-like whimpers came from inside.

Emperor Deguang couldn't bear it, and asked loudly, "What's the situation? How's the queen? Is there another one?"

The noise came from outside.

Peng Yu came over to send a message: "Concubine Xie, Princess Jinghe and Princess Ping'an request an audience."

Emperor Deguang could not see the concubine, but the two princesses Jinghe and Pingan were elders, so it was not easy to see them, so knowing why they came, they could only meet each other.

Concubine Xie came over, accompanied by two girls dressed as princesses.

Le Zhao whispered in Mu Ci's ear: "The one in blue is Princess Jinghe, Fang Guogong's first wife. The one in green is Princess Ping'an, the mother of Tang Yuzhou, Xin'an Hou."

Mu Ci nodded and understood.

……

Princess Jinghe and Princess Ping'an came here for Queen Mei's twin sons. They first persuaded Emperor Deguang: "Your Majesty, if the queen gives birth to twin sons, how can the two children grow up and look the same?" Isn't it... messing up the rules and regulations of the country?"

Emperor Deguang was very upset, but he had to be patient.

On the contrary, Jing and Princess Dachang asked, "Where is my grandson-in-law Si Niang?"

Mu Ci replied immediately: "I have been helping the queen give birth."

Only then did Jing and the eldest princess say "Amitabha", heaved a sigh of relief, and stopped forcing Emperor Deguang to express his opinion.

Not long after, Peng Yu came to send a message: "King Ding, King Qing, King Ling, King Zhong, and King Changshan request an audience."

Emperor Deguang can only see it.

As soon as King Ding came in, he exchanged a glance with Mu Ci, then nodded his head as a thank you.

Mu Ci smiled.

Then Zhao Jiu, Wang Youlun, and the cabinet ministers from Zhengshitang all asked for an audience, and they were all allowed to come in.

It seems that everyone is waiting.

After all, if Empress Mei really gave birth to twins, it would indeed affect Jiangshan's succession to the throne. The two identical children are both the queen's legitimate sons. Who will succeed in the future?What if the other is an imposter?

Jiangshan can't let two people take turns to sit, even if they look exactly the same.

But looking at Emperor Deguang's appearance and Mu Ci's posture, no one really dared to say "Drown to death, strangle one to death".Not to mention that this is the prince whom His Majesty and all the people are looking forward to, after all, it is a living life, and the king of Chu alone will not be able to pass it.

Who doesn't know that King Chu has a warm love for children like a spring breeze?Who dares to say something that hurts the child in front of the King of Chu?

……

However, things are troublesome if they are said to be troublesome, and they are easy to solve if they are settled.

Everyone looked at Mu Ci in unison.

Everyone knows that Mu Ci has always been sloppy and wants to adopt one of the twins, so the only question is - how to distinguish the two children?If one is not careful, it will not be the two princes fighting for the throne, but Emperor Deguang and King Chu using their children to fight.

Mu Ci is an old god, let everyone be at ease.

Then, Xie Siniang, who was wearing a mask, held a slightly smaller baby in her arms, and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the empress has given birth to the fifth prince, but..." Her hands trembled a little, but she held the baby firmly, and opened the Swaddling, revealing the baby's head the size of a goose egg, so that everyone can see clearly, said, "The little prince was born with a blood-colored plum blossom mole on his face."

How can there be such a coincidence in this world?

Mu Ci stretched out her hand to touch the child's face, but Xie Siniang quickly shrank back in fear of hurting the child, and then covered the child's face with a swaddle.Mu Ci didn't have to touch it either, she just sighed, turned her head and whispered to Emperor Deguang: "It's a bloody tattoo, I asked Yuexuan to do it."

Only then did Emperor Deguang relax completely, as long as the child's life was saved, nothing else could be said.

The others also looked at each other, Concubine Xie said: "Impossible!" She rushed forward to touch the child, but was held back.

Emperor Deguang glanced coldly at Concubine Xie, and hurriedly called King Qing, He Jing and Princess Dachang over, and said, "The fifth prince has a red plum mole on his face, which is obviously different from that of the fourth prince." He asked people to bring the fourth prince who was in the swaddling baby as well.

The fourth prince was red and wrinkled, but his face was obviously smooth without any marks.Everyone looked at the fifth prince, Xie Siniang opened the swaddling clothes for a glimpse, then quickly wrapped the child tightly, and said: "It's too cold at night, the fifth prince is too weak..."

So no one made it difficult for her, Jing and the eldest princess hurriedly said: "Take the child back to the house."

The wet nurse who was holding the fourth prince and Xie Siniang who was holding the fifth prince left and hurried into the house.

Qing Wang was reasonable, calm and kind by nature, and with their nods, he exposed the matter.

Mu Ci thought about it, thought of Mei Rong's unbearable attitude, and thought of Queen Mei's desperate efforts to give birth to a child, but in the end he still couldn't bear to take away the parent and child, and didn't mention the matter of adoption.

Who would have thought that Yuexuan would help the crumbling Empress Mei out...

Empress Mei said earnestly: "My concubine implores Your Majesty to adopt the fifth prince to the ninth brother. With the heart of brothers and sons, we will also avoid future chaos in the society." After saying that, she would kneel down.

No one had the heart to make her kneel, and both Emperor Deguang and Mu Ci stepped forward to support her.

Empress Mei firmly held Mu Ci's hand, nodded to him, with tears in her eyes, and a thousand words that were hard to say.

Although Mu Ci didn't know how Empress Mei was willing, how could she be willing?After all, it was she who asked for it on her own initiative. I am afraid that there is something wrong with her appearance now, so she nodded, looked at Emperor Deguang and said, "Third brother, I have no hope of having an heir in this life, so elder brother can adopt the fifth prince to me."

Emperor Deguang looked at his wife, at Mu Ci, then at the room where the two children were leading, closed his eyes, and nodded heavily.
