Although Ji Heng asked him not to tell the emperor about his childbirth, the people in the other courtyard did not dare to hide the matter, fearing that they would be severely punished by the emperor in the future.

Although the guards in the other courtyard had guesses, they were not sure that Ji Heng was pregnant. Everyone thought that Ji Heng was sick and was recuperating here. The emperor often came to see him, so naturally there were times when he stayed overnight. Not much time to plant.

The name of Ji Heng Xingchen has been spread all over Dayong, but he is recuperating here, and the emperor often comes here secretly, but the guards dare not spread it to the outside world, even in front of his family, they have to hide it.

The only ones who knew for sure that Ji Heng was pregnant were the few people who served Ji Heng in the inner courtyard, and the Imperial Physician Weng who had been taking care of Ji Heng's body.

The midwife who was about to deliver Ji Heng did not know Ji Heng's identity, and was brought here secretly.

All these things were undertaken by Imperial Physician Weng. Ji Heng gave birth smoothly, and the benefits the emperor promised him were enough to make him go through fire and water.

Aunt Du Ruo personally sent one of the most useful maids to report to the emperor under the escort of the guards. At that time, the emperor was receiving ministers in the Qinzheng Hall to discuss the matter of moving the Empress Dowager Cisheng into the emperor's mausoleum for joint burial.

The maid whispered to Liu Sheng, the eunuch in charge in front of the emperor, "There is something important to report to the emperor, please report to your father-in-law."

Even Liu Sheng didn't know about Ji Heng's pregnancy, but the emperor often went out of the palace to see Ji Heng, he thought Ji Heng was seriously ill and was recuperating.

Because Ji Heng has always been a man, few people can guess that he can conceive, even if Si Yiniang and others know, they only think that Ji Heng is a woman disguised as a man.

Liu Sheng had followed the emperor to Ji Heng's other courtyard several times, but he had never seen Ji Heng, and he hadn't even been able to enter the inner courtyard. Because the emperor didn't allow people to follow him into the inner courtyard, Liu Sheng thought it was because of his disapproval. The matter of Ji Heng's drugging aroused Ji Heng's grudge, and from then on Ji Heng didn't want to see him, so the emperor didn't let him enter the inner courtyard. Liu Sheng knew how obsessed the emperor was with Ji Heng, so he was afraid of Ji Heng's pillow at first. Bian Feng thought that he might be neglected by the emperor, so he went to Mrs. Xu specifically and sent some new gadgets to inquire about the news. Later, he found that the emperor did not neglect him, so he gradually calmed down.

Although I haven't seen Ji Heng in Ji Heng's other courtyard, I have seen several palace servants who take care of Ji Heng.

Aunt Du Ruo is a very taciturn person who is extremely loyal to the emperor, and she has no other thoughts, and the same is true of the few maids she selected in the past.

So whoever wants to inquire about some news through them should never even think about it.

Since it was a maid from Ji Heng's place, Liu Sheng naturally knew that something had happened to Ji Heng's place. Even though the emperor was discussing things with several ministers, he did not dare to delay and went in to whisper something to the emperor.

Actually, the emperor was counting the days, and Ji Heng was about to give birth in these days, so he was always thinking about Ji Heng's affairs. At this time, he heard that Ji Heng's maid was coming to report the matter, so he asked several adults to wait, and he personally He got up and went to the West Pavilion to meet the maid.

After the maid went in, she gave an audience ceremony, then knelt down and said, "Aunt Du Ruo asked the slaves to report to the emperor, saying that Mrs. Ji has started analgesia, and I am afraid she is about to give birth. Doctor Weng and the midwife are here. I don't know if the emperor still has any What order."

The emperor was sitting, but suddenly stood up, his heart was raised following the maid's words, and he kept saying in his heart, "Bodhisattva blesses Ji Heng to give birth smoothly, and the mother and child are safe.

Then he said to the maid, "I know, go back quickly, tell Junqing that I will go there, and let Junqing not be afraid."

The maid kowtowed again and made a farewell ceremony, then bowed her body and took six or seven steps back, turned around and left the West Pavilion, and followed the guards out of the palace again.

Matters were prioritized, and the emperor could no longer think about other matters, so he asked those ministers who were waiting for him to go back first, and after they made a decision, they came to discuss with him.

The emperor himself went to change into casual clothes, ordered a few more trusted guards, and left the palace without any servants to accompany him.

Seeing that the emperor did not take him with him when he left the palace, Liu Sheng had to think, in fact, he had pulled the strings so that the emperor and Ji Heng could pierce this layer of paper, and because of this, he was tabooed by the emperor or Ji Heng.

His heart sank, and he thought he had to think of a way.

The emperor rode a carriage all the way to Jiheng Bieyuan in the south of the city, and was followed by Fu Yang, the commander of the guards outside the Yimen Gate of the outer courtyard. Although the emperor was calm on the face, his overly serious expression still revealed his inner unrest.

The emperor walked towards the inner courtyard, and said to the commander, "Have someone go and secretly bring Lu Zhidao from the imperial hospital, and leave him alone, maybe he will be used."

Commander Fu respectfully responded, and the emperor said again, "Take care of this house and don't make any mistakes."

Commander Fu responded respectfully again. He found that the emperor's hand was tightly clenched, as if he was too nervous. This made Fu Yang feel strange. He wanted to ask the emperor what's the matter, but as a subordinate, it was not easy to ask, so he gave it away. When the emperor went to the gate of the inner courtyard, the emperor went in by himself, and Fu Yang stayed at the gate.

Lady Du Ruo came out to greet the emperor, and the emperor asked, "How is the situation?"

Du Ruo said, "Going back to the emperor, although the analgesic has been started, the amniotic fluid has not yet broken. Master Ji took a walk in the house according to Doctor Weng's request."

The emperor said, "I'll go in and see him."

Du Ruo said, "Your Majesty, the delivery room is a filthy place, and your Majesty should not enter it."

The emperor said, "I don't believe this. I went there when Concubine Xu gave birth."

Du Ruo couldn't persuade him anymore, so he led the emperor in.

As soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet Ji Heng who was being supported by Mrs. Xu. Ji Heng frowned slightly, as if he was uncomfortable, but his expression was not too difficult. Seeing the emperor, Ji Heng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why do you coming."

The emperor had already stepped forward, supported Ji Heng from the other side, and said, "I will come as soon as I receive the news, don't be afraid, I will always be with you."

Ji Heng froze for a moment, thinking that he wasn't too scared, but he felt that the emperor's hand holding him seemed to tremble twice.

He glanced sideways at the emperor, thinking that he was afraid.

Ji Heng said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have nothing to do. Your Majesty doesn't need to come. Mr. Weng said, how long it will take to relieve the pain until the amniotic fluid breaks. It may be tomorrow. It is futile for the Emperor to come."

The emperor said with a straight face, "How can you call it futile hard work? You are the one who suffers all the hard work I have. I am by your side. You should always feel at ease, and I should also be at ease."

Ji Heng must have felt another burst of pain, so he clenched his teeth tightly, and the emperor hugged Ji Heng in his arms, and said to Xu, "What is Weng Zisu doing? Don't let go to bed and lie down."

Seeing her son suffer, Xu also felt very distressed, but she couldn't agree with the emperor's accusation of Weng Taiyi, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't know the pain of childbirth, and you can't give birth just by lying down on the bed. Let's walk around like this first. It is beneficial to production. Mr. Weng personally watched the boiled water and boiled medicine in the kitchen, fearing that something might go wrong."

The emperor heard the complaint in Xu's words, probably complaining that he let Ji Heng conceive a child, so he could only bear it in front of his mother-in-law, who made him the culprit.

Although Xu said so, the emperor still felt sorry for Ji Heng so much that he almost hugged his entire upper body and asked him, "Does it hurt a lot? When it hurts, you should be able to lie down for a while, right?" .”

Ji Heng leaned on his body, hugged by him, and whispered weakly, "It's actually okay."

Physician Weng came over from the kitchen yard and saw the emperor coming. He was hugging Ji Heng and said the same thing as Du Ruo. If he is willing to leave, he can't, just persuade him, after all, he is not the kind of speaker who has to be dead-headed.

It was getting late, and Ji Heng still had a stomachache, but the amniotic fluid hadn't broken, so he had to suffer like this. Ji Heng's food was prepared in the kitchen, but he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't eat at all.

The emperor couldn't eat anything, so after eating a little, he hugged Ji Heng and sat on the big chair. Mrs. Xu took a bowl and fed Ji Heng. The emperor coaxed and persuaded, "Eat more, Weng Zisu also said that he didn't know when you will be born, you have to eat to have strength. Junqing, be obedient, eat more a little."

Ji Heng was powerless to talk to him, he just endured the pain, Xu shi fed him another spoonful, and he had no choice but to open his mouth and eat again.

After eating those meals, Ji Heng ate most of them for an hour, and the food got cold again after a while and kept getting hotter.

When the time came, Ji Heng still had a stomachache, but there was no sign of giving birth, so he had to suffer.

The emperor was also there all the time, wanting Ji Heng to sleep for a while, but Ji Heng lay on the bed but couldn't sleep, so the emperor put his arms around his upper body and gently coaxed him to make him feel better.

Mrs. Xu came into the room and saw that when she gave birth to Ji Heng, Mr. Ji was so caring as the emperor. He couldn't help but lose the previous resentment towards the emperor. He asked the maid to bring the supper, and said to the emperor, " Your Majesty, you don't have enough dinner, and you're hungry, so you made some supper, so you can use some."

The emperor put his arms around Ji Heng and gently stroked his stomach, and said, "I will wait for Junqing to sleep before I use it. Madam is also tired. I will accompany Junqing at this time, so you should go and rest for a while."

Because I don't know how long Ji Heng will be able to give birth. When I can rest, I will naturally go to rest. Otherwise, when Ji Heng is about to give birth, everyone will be exhausted and lose energy. That's not good.

Mrs. Xu thought about it, and then came to look at Ji Heng. Ji Heng opened his eyes slightly and nodded to let her go to rest for a while. After Mrs. Xu thought about it, she went to another room to rest.
