Royal rice bug, worm worm!

The reason why Li Yunluo chose to return to Xiao's house to wait for delivery was not because of a soft heart, but because of the flesh and blood in her belly.

The aristocratic family values ​​reputation, if this child is born in the palace because the Xiao family is not a man, and the royal family has no choice but to support her, then her child will bear such a reputation in the process of growing up, and even for the rest of his life.

As long as he is mentioned in the public, people will say: "Ah, this is the little nobleman who was born in the palace? Think back then..."

This is not what Li Yunluo wanted.

She was sober from beginning to end, and her appeal was very clear——

She just wanted Xiao Zirui to realize the danger of a woman's childbirth, and made him value this child and her.

As for the Xiao Liu family, and even the entire Xiao family, she doesn't care, and she doesn't care about it, let alone "change" or "influence", as long as they fear her, fear her, and dare not provoke her, that's enough.

On the way to the Hunting Palace, Xiao Zirui had already paid enough attention to Li Xi's disturbance, and the protection of her by the Queen Mother and the Saint also made the Xiao family panic. Her goal had been achieved.

So, after Xiao Zirui begged for several days, she went down the donkey and returned to Xiao's house to wait for delivery.

Li Yunluo has thanked God countless times for making her so lucky to have a younger brother who wholeheartedly protects her, and a strong natal family who takes her daughter seriously.

These days, Xiao Zirui has also behaved very well. As long as there is no urgent business, he will stay with her at home, and he will change his usual acquaintance, and clearly stand by her side, and will not allow Xiao Liushi to approach her, let alone let her go to the Lord again. The Mother House sets the rules.

He also copied a thick notebook, which was all about prenatal and postpartum care, three meals a day, walking, sitting and lying carefully, and even actively learned from Wei Yu, cooking love meals for his daughter-in-law.

——The difference is that he made it very difficult to eat.

These days, Li Yunluo has been in a good mood and body. She even cooked for the past two days and made a snack for Li Xi.

The reason why there was an accident today was that Xiao Zirui was in a hurry and went to Luoyang.

Li Yunluo was worried and sent twelve guards to protect him.

Seeing the opportunity, Mrs. Xiao Liu ordered Li Yunluo to go to her courtyard to talk about the matter—it was indeed talking about the matter, not finding fault.

In the evaluation by the Ministry of Officials in early autumn, Xiao Zirui got an excellent grade. He was supposed to be promoted, but Li Xi made such a fuss, which made him all yellow.These days, the Patriarch of the Xiao family is actively moving around, but the saint does not let go.

Xiao Liushi couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep for more than half a month, and there was a ring of blisters on her mouth. After much deliberation, she finally figured out that the crux of the problem still lay in Li Yunluo.

She asked Li Yunluo to come over, because she wanted her to beg the Queen Mother to promote Xiao Zirui.

As a result, Li Yunluo ignored her at all.

The envoy in charge was newly selected by Li Xi, and she was so strong that she blocked her back with one sentence: "The county lord is not feeling well today and can't get out of bed, another day!"

Xiao Liushi was so angry that he bit the tip of his tongue.

After finally finding this time when Xiao Zirui is not at home, another day, the child will be born!

After calling three times, Li Yunluo refused to go—in fact, the maid didn't tell her at all.

That's right, the people sent by Xiao Fu Wang are so courageous.

Xiao Liushi was so angry that she couldn't help it, so she had no choice but to show off and come to see her.

Li Yunluo responded well, and Xiao Liushi's attitude was also good. After all, she had something to ask for, and her tone of voice was coaxing.

Li Yunluo blocked back neither soft nor hard.

Xiao Liu's eyes became anxious, "I don't understand, brother Rui's promotion, what harm does it do to you, it's just a matter of one sentence, why can't you ask for mercy? How did your Li family's heart grow?"

Li Yunluo said lightly: "Auntie is being frivolous. I am not the only one in the Li family in Chang'an City. If this word gets out, not to mention you and me, the entire Xiao family will be implicated."

Xiao Liu snorted coldly: "Stop pressing me with this! Just say, are you willing to do this?"

Li Yunluo was still in a hurry, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. The official department has the regulations of the official department, and the sage has the consideration of the sage. I am a back house woman. If I rashly get involved, it will only embarrass my husband."

When Xiao Liushi heard this, he exploded immediately, "Who are you mocking? You didn't meddle, but I did; you didn't embarrass Brother Rui, but I embarrassed him, didn't you?"

Li Yunluo got up and bent her knees, "Auntie is serious."

Xiao Liushi also stood up, strode into the inner room, sat down on Li Yunluo's couch, and said: "I will wait here today, if you don't enter the palace to intercede, I will not leave this couch!"

Really don't want any face.

At that moment, Li Yunluo felt extremely uncomfortable.

Very, very uncomfortable.

What is the difference between Xiao Liu's move and the shrew in the market?

Even though there are many gentle and respectful women in the market, there is such a mistress among the rich and powerful!

And this person is Xiao Zirui's mother, the future grandmother of her child. She will live with this person for 20 years, and her child will grow up under the influence of this person...

Li Yunluo couldn't calm down for a while, and felt cramps in her abdomen, and she was about to give birth.

There was a moment of chaos in the house.

At that time, the envoy in charge sent someone to Fu Wang's mansion to report.

Xiao Liushi was frightened to death, afraid that Li Xi would make a big fuss if she found out, and her son would be implicated.So, with a sudden heart, he asked people to lock the reporter out of the second door.

She didn't want to harm Li Yunluo, but she just thought that as long as the child was born, the mother and child would be safe and sound. Even if this matter happened because of her, the sage and Fu Wangfu would not pursue it again.

But, I didn't expect that after three full hours, Li Yunluo's face turned pale from the pain, and the fetus didn't show her head.

The third room is in a mess, and the other two rooms can't help but see the clues.However, Xiao Liu sent his confidants to guard against death, so as not to let out any news.

Xiao Sanlang's mother saw something was wrong, so she asked Xiao Sanlang to inform Li Xi.

Xiao's family lives in Guangdefang, and the three houses live in three adjacent houses. Xiao Zirui's house has the smallest population and a small yard, but there are more than ten gatekeepers standing in front of the door.

When I saw Li Xi, I felt like I was facing a big enemy.

Li Xi dismounted, and the other party rushed over, but he was detained by the soldiers without even touching his clothes.

Wei Yu kicked open the gate of Xiao's house, and led the froze Xiao Fu Wang to the back house.

There were more guards in Li Yunluo's yard. Xiao Liu called all the maids and women in the whole house, and blocked all the exits. All the people Li Yunluo sent to report were detained by them and locked in the room. .

In the yard, the flowers and plants that Li Yunluo tended, and the carefully placed small stones were all kicked over and messed up.

The pot of golden chrysanthemum that Li Xi asked someone to deliver a few days ago was pitifully crooked under the stone steps, the delicate petals sunk into the soil, and there was a big footprint on it.

The little servant girl leaned against the mullioned window, saw Li Xi, and burst into tears, "Alang is finally here! Alang, go and see the county magistrate, the magistrate has been suffering for a long time and hasn't given birth yet, I'm afraid... I'm afraid It's dystocia..."

"To shut up!"

Mrs. Xiao Liu rushed over and wanted to hit someone through the window, "What do you know, a slut? What woman doesn't give birth for a day or two? It's only half a day, and she's crying for her father and mother. Who will you show me? How dare you say that?" If it is unlucky, I will tear your mouth apart!"

The little servant girl is also very violent, she is not afraid of her at all, and immediately said: "The mistress knows best if it is a normal birth! A Lang, the magistrate was originally due to give birth in a month, so she was mad at her!"

Li Xi strode up the stone steps.

Xiao Liushi shouted: "Stop him!"

However, before the women could move, they were detained by the government soldiers.The maids of the Li family who were locked in the Xie House were also released.

Li Xi raised his hand and stuck it to the door.

Xiao Liushi didn't care about face, so she blocked the door by herself, "Dignified prince, are you so unruly? Even if you are a younger brother, you have never seen someone break into your sister's delivery room. If you go in today, this daughter-in-law, I will The Xiao family is about to fail!"

Li Xi smiled slowly, "It's your turn to say this?"

Wei Yu held his hand and persuaded him in a low voice, "It's nothing else, the right is for the reputation of the county lord."

"If I don't go in, I'll just talk to sister." Li Xi's voice trembled.

Before he could speak, Li Yunluo's voice came out first: "Xiaobao, don't be afraid, sister is fine."

Obviously very weak, but he insisted on smiling.

Li Xi had a sore nose, and cried out in distress, "Is the imperial doctor coming?"

"It's here!" Hu Jiao rode a horse, stepped across the courtyard gate, and directly sent the old white-bearded imperial doctor to the delivery room door.

When he came down from the horse, the imperial doctor was holding on to the pillar, and tremblingly said: "Little King Fu, if you come here a few more times, the old man's life will be in your hands!"

Li Xi took his hand and gave a deep bow, "Please, grandpa, save my sister."

"Hey, the lord has broken the old man." The imperial doctor was busy helping him up, and asked, "How is the county lord?"

Wei Yu raised his voice and said, "Come out and answer personally."

The nurse came out in a hurry, with a pale face, "My lord, the county lord is indeed pregnant with twins, but the fetal position is not very good, one foot is down, and the other has never moved, I'm afraid it's..."

"Don't be afraid of anything." Li Xi said in a deep voice, "The imperial doctor is here, he is the best doctor in the world, and he will definitely keep my elder sister safe--Grandpa, tell me, the current situation of the second elder sister Is there a good way?"

The old man didn't say he was dead, but asked her for the pulse in a low voice, and then told her how to perform the needle, and how to press.

The nurse hurried back to the house and followed his instructions.

Sure enough, Li Yunluo didn't feel so badly in pain, and the doll who didn't move moved her little hands and feet.

There was an exclamation in the room.

The maids and women outside the house also wept with joy.

Li Xi closed his eyes, and his tense body finally relaxed a little bit.

Wei Yu shook his hand through the cover of his sleeve, and said to the soldiers, "Take my goldfish bag and go to Dali Temple, and ask them to send a message to Luoyang to call Minzhi back."

Turning to look at Xiao Liushi again, "Since the prince is here, it would be rude to only have my aunt here, go and invite Xiao Shangshu over!"

After speaking, he directed Li Yunluo's little maids to move chairs, make tea, and take good care of the imperial doctor Zheng and Li Xi.

The little maids were also very upbeat, quickly calmed down, and followed his orders to do things in an orderly manner.

Li Xi poured a bowl of tea with his own hands and handed it to the imperial physician.

The imperial doctor was supporting Fuguan, took the teacup, looked at him, then at Wei Yu, and said with a smile: "I heard that Wei Shaoqing studied ulcer medicine?"

"It's just an apprentice, so I know the surface." Wei Yu said modestly.

The imperial doctor was smiling, his eyes full of admiration.

While speaking, horseshoes sounded outside - Xiao Zirui arrived faster than the old man of the Xiao family.

According to the original plan, he should stay in Luoyang today and return to Beijing in the afternoon tomorrow.

"I'm worried, I'm back early." Xiao Zirui got off his horse and strode to the door.

Seeing him, Xiao Liushi burst into tears, "Good boy, you are back, if you don't come back, your mother will be pinched to death!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zirui didn't even look at her, he just knocked on the door and said softly, "Yunluo, are you okay?"

There was no movement in the house for a long time.

Xiao Zirui blamed himself, more worried, gritted his teeth, and said, "Don't be afraid, Yunluo, I'll change into clean clothes, and I'll go in to accompany you."

"No!" As soon as Xiao Shangshu entered the hospital, he heard such shocking words, "The delivery room is unclean. Since ancient times, there is no reason for a gentleman to enter. Zi Rui, don't break the rules."

With a steady tone of voice, no joy or anger can be heard, let alone worry.After finishing speaking, he held up his hands very politely and greeted Li Xi.

Suddenly, there was a short scream in the room, which seemed to be suppressed for a long time, and finally couldn't be suppressed.

Li Xi's scalp went numb, and her voice changed: "Sister, how are you doing?"

Xiao Zirui was even more nervous than him, "Is it in severe pain? Yunluo, don't be afraid, I won't change clothes anymore, I'll go in right away!"

"You are not allowed to go in!" Xiao Shangshu winked, and immediately two cousins ​​came over and set Xiao Zirui up.

Xiao Zirui was about to break free when the door slammed open, and the nurse with wet hands hurried out.

"The amniotic fluid is broken, but the cervix is ​​not opened, and the fetus cannot come out. If this continues, adults and children will not be able to keep it."

A few medical terms made Xiao's family face blackened immediately.

Xiao Zirui lost his voice and said, "Lord Bao! You don't need the child, I just want Yunluo to be safe!"

Li Xi also panicked, and grabbed the imperial doctor tightly, "Please go in and save my sister!"

The reason why the imperial doctor Zheng was invited was because he found out in advance that the imperial doctor Zheng has a set of acupuncture methods, which is very useful for women with dystocia.

In his early years, he practiced medicine among the people and saved many similar cases.After entering Beijing, they used it less, because rich families are different from ordinary people, they value reputation more than human life.

The medical lady also knelt down anxiously, and said: "I'm not good at learning, I really can't handle it. For the safety of the county master and the young lords, I also ask the doctor to help me!"

The imperial doctor sighed and nodded.

The doctor is benevolent, even if someone pokes his spine afterwards, he can't just leave him dead.

Unexpectedly, he would go all out for an outsider, but Xiao Shangshu refused.

"My Xiao family has a good reputation for hundreds of years, and it cannot be ruined by a woman. Although Li's daughter is the county head, she is also the daughter-in-law of my Xiao family. In my Xiao family, outsiders are never allowed to enter the delivery room. This matter, even if If you make a fuss in front of the sage, my Xiao family will also take advantage of it."

The imperial doctor said righteously: "I'm over 70, I can be her grandfather, what else does Xiao Shangshu care about?"

Xiao Liushi said sharply: "Eighty is not enough! Once you go in like this, do you want brother Rui's face?"

"Then reconcile and leave." Li Xi said calmly, "Sign the reconciliation document, and my elder sister will not be your daughter-in-law. After giving birth, I will take her away."

"I don't make peace with you!"

"I will never, never, make peace with Yunluo!"

Xiao Zirui looked at Xiao Shangshu, then at Xiao Liushi, and said word by word: "You expelled me from the Xiao family, from now on I am no longer a child of the Xiao family, and I will not lose face to the Xiao family. "

"You are crazy! You have worked hard all these years, isn't it just to get your grandfather's attention and become the pillar of the Xiao family? After leaving the Xiao family, you are nothing!" Xiao Liu was emotional.

Xiao Zirui was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "So, that's how my mother misses me."

He gave up the opportunity of Enyin, studied hard for more than ten years, and read the files day and night, not to win glory for the Xiao family, let alone for the favor of his grandfather, but to let his mother hold his head up in front of others, so that his wife and children can live a good life day.

He has come to this day, and he has not relied on the Xiao family for a single point.However, he has been filial to his mother for more than twenty years, but he thinks that if he leaves the Xiao family, he will be nothing...

"what--"

Inside the house, a sharp cry of pain sounded again.

If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't bear it anymore, Li Yunluo definitely wouldn't be like this.

"Take care of your own family affairs yourself, don't delay my elder sister's childbirth!" Li Xi pushed Xiao Zirui away, and was walking up the steps with the imperial doctor in his arms.

Seeing that he was about to open the door and go in, Xiao Liushi rushed over like crazy.

The gentlemen of the Xiao family also rushed up.They had suffered under Li Xi's hands last time, and now they are all holding their breath!

With a wave of Li Xi's hand, the government soldiers stepped forward and restrained them one by one.

However, they couldn't gossip about Mrs. Xiao Liu.After all, she is a woman, an elder, and Li Yunluo's serious mother-in-law. Unless she wants to make enemies, she really can't do anything wrong.

Xiao Liushi saw their scruples, and immediately threw a tantrum: "Anyone who dares to enter, I will ram his head to death here!"

"Which one is looking for death? This general will help him."

A cold female voice came from outside the courtyard.

Li Xi shuddered and turned her head suddenly——

A majestic female general, wearing silver armor, holding a red tasseled helmet on her arm, and holding a Zhangba spear in her hand, stepped on the bluestone road, riding on the fiery red clouds, striding forward.

Behind her, a hundred Zhenyuan troops lined up in two rows, their iron armor was stained with wind and sand, and their red tassels were stained with blood. Their expressions were calm and fierce, as if they had rushed out of a wolf's den, and they were very different from the aristocratic families in prosperous Chang'an.

The red-tasseled spears in their hands had actually been on the battlefield and drank the blood of the enemy.

With a sore nose, Li Xi stumbled forward, "Big sister..."

Li Xianzhi hooked the spear to his arm, patted his head, and said loudly——

"Don't be afraid, Yunluo, sister is back."

"I see, who dares to stop!"
