Zhao Xi was just guarding outside Ji Qinghuan's door, Ziluo went in, and he sat on the veranda railing, quietly lost in thought.

Time passed by little by little, maybe it was a psychological effect, Zhao Xi felt that it had been a long time, the two maids who had gone out had not returned yet, and the imperial doctor had not been found.

Feeling increasingly restless, Zhao Xi asked a passing maid: "How long has it been since those two went out to invite the imperial doctor?"

The maid froze for a moment, looking very timid, "F-Calculation, it's probably more than an hour..."

Zhao Xi narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you say that you are not allowed to approach the princess's house? What are you doing wandering around here?"

"!!"

The maid was taken aback, and quickly argued: "The servant is here to deliver ice cubes, and the ice cubes in it are almost used up, sister Ziluo ordered—"

Zhao Xi stretched out his hand, sternly: "Bring it!"

The little girl tremblingly handed over the tray containing ice cubes, and Zhao Xi stretched out his hand to take it. The coolness on his hand and the ice mist blowing on his face were so cool, it instantly calmed his restless mood. .

He checked the ice carefully to make sure there was nothing strange attached to it, and he also checked the porcelain basin containing the ice, and let her leave after everything was fine.

"Go back, I'll just send it in."

"Yes." The little maid jumped in fright, and ran away hastily like a frightened rabbit.

Zhao Xi pushed open the door and went in. The inside of the room and the outside seemed to be two worlds. All the decorations inside were cool, and the cabinets were specially attached with cold porcelain, and the bed curtains and curtains were all cool and slippery. ice cream.

Ji Qinghuan was sleeping on the bed in the inner room, surrounded by maids fanning the wind at all four corners, and Ziluo was sitting at the foot of the bed, propping her head up and dozing off little by little.

Zhao Xi's movements were very light, but still alarmed Ziluo, she looked over and motioned for him to put the ice by the bed and leave.

Imperial doctor An had an accident at this time. Although the Wanshou Palace has already let the skilled midwife stay in the Wanshou Palace, she is not afraid of emergencies, but she still feels a little uneasy.

After putting the ice out, Zhao Xi went out, looked at the gate of the yard, and waited straight.

It seems that after a long time, and not long after, there was a faint and small voice in the room. I don't know what happened, it seemed to be whispering, and then the voice became louder and louder, accompanied by several flustered female voices.

Zhao Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up from the railing.At this time the door was opened.One of the maids who took care of Ji Qinghuan closely looked panicked: "Master Zhao, the princess, the princess has become popular! Hurry up and call the imperial doctor, and the midwife is also called! It should be about to give birth!"

Zhao Xi didn't quite understand, when he heard the bleeding, he thought it was a miscarriage, his heart almost stopped when he heard the bleeding, but he was relieved only when he heard that it was about to give birth.Call all the maids and let them stay outside, waiting for orders at any time.

He ran by himself and quickly went to the front hall to find the empress dowager's important person. The midwife is a veteran, and she is also very old. She has delivered several princes, and she has been waiting in the palace for orders at any time.

Seeing Zhao Xi's hurried appearance, he followed him out without saying a word. The Queen Mother also came after receiving the news, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xi's throat was smoky, "The county chief gave birth, and everything is normal, except for bleeding."

Several people came back quickly, and within a minute or two, the maids immediately got down and knelt down when they saw the Empress Dowager in person.

"See the Empress Dowager."

"Get up, what's going on inside?" The queen mother didn't give them a look, only paying attention to the situation inside.

Ji Qinghuan's voice was not loud, but the voices of the five maids working inside were loud.

"Where's the imperial doctor? Is it inside?" the queen mother asked, her face full of worry.

Zhao Xi lowered his head and went forward to answer: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Doctor An's tea has been drugged, and now it's hard to take time off. The servant has already sent someone to the Imperial Medical Office to invite the imperial doctor again, and he will be there in a while."

It was a bit of a coincidence that the imperial doctor was going to give birth right after the accident.But in view of the constant turmoil these days, this coincidence makes sense.

The empress dowager's whole body was majestic, and her eyes suddenly became cold.He looked at Zhao Xi, displeased, and said, "Someone came in and out of this yard with medicine on them. What if they appeared in the princess's tea? That's how you do things?" "..." Zhao Xi knelt down and fell He pleaded guilty on the ground: "It's the servant girl who didn't do things well, and let people take advantage of it."

The Empress Dowager looked at his thin body coldly, took a deep breath, and said, "Now the princess is in a hurry, Nanny Jin, you go in first. The rest of the people are on standby, boil the hot water, cook some ginseng soup and prepare food." Keep it hot all the time, and be careful when the time is long!"

She ordered these in an orderly manner. As someone who has been here, the Queen Mother is more measured than anyone else, and she is ready for everything.As early as when Ji Qinghuan got married, she inadvertently thought about giving birth in the palace.At that time, he was worried about the dirtying of the back house, but now he feels relieved in his own territory.

"How long has it been since you visited the imperial doctor?" the queen mother asked.

Zhao Xi was still in the same posture: "It's about three quarters of an hour."

"Get up," said the Empress Dowager, "wait outside, and send two more people to invite the imperial doctor. It is necessary to call a few more."

Zhao Xi got up and looked into the empress dowager's dim eyes.

The empress dowager is getting old. As the former emperor's favorite concubine, she is not a few years older than the current emperor, but she is already over half a year old. The glory of the Ji family is due to her. Needless to say, she has a scheming heart. The key to status today.

Now that the child is born, it's time to clear away unnecessary obstacles.

Zhao Xi bowed and saluted: "It's all the servant's fault, and the servant will go to the Imperial Medical Office."

The queen mother was noncommittal, turned around and went into the house, and suddenly turned back in front of the door: "Go to the front hall and bring some servants.".

Zhao Xi nodded and bowed to leave.

With the Empress Dowager in charge here, there would be no problem, Zhao Xi turned around and walked out of the palace, and started to jog after a few steps.

After a while, Zhao Xi led dozens of servants out of the palace and went to the Imperial Medical Office.The journey was not far, and when passing a remote section with few people, Zhao Xi keenly noticed a line of sight that seemed to be watching him from the dark.

It was not obvious on the face, but the movement of the feet was quickened, and the eyes glanced inadvertently, as if seeing a small piece of indigo clothes behind the flower bed not far away.

It is not difficult to guess that the two maids who went to the Imperial Medical Office were intercepted here, but they don't know what happened to them, whether they were silenced or what.

Zhao Xi was worried in his heart, and couldn't help but lament that the Queen Mother is still careful and skillful, if he hadn't brought these people along, he might not have been able to make it this far.

The news of the Longevity Palace is tightly sealed, and it should not have been leaked out. These people should not be here for time, it should not be a day or two.

Zhao Xi pretended to be walking forward in a hurry, then winked at the servants behind him, and nodded his chin slightly towards the flower bed.

At that moment, Zhao Xi was caught off guard and turned around, rushing towards the flower bed like a gust of wind, crossing the path directly, stepping on the flower bed, and rushing over at the shortest distance.

A few figures were squatting there furtively, they realized they were going to run but they were already seen, Zhao Xi jumped down and grabbed the nearest one, and the next second all the servants behind him rushed up to chase and intercept them.

There are five people in total, all of them are tall and strong, with fierce movements and great strength.If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Xi had more than twice the number of people here, he really couldn't catch him.During the fight, Zhao Xi was still covered in paint. He was punched in the face, and his bun was unraveled, hanging half crooked on his head.

The three servants worked together to hold down one person, and the person being held down had a fierce look in his eyes, waiting for Zhao Xi with a murderous look.

Zhao Xi looked at their physiques, they were completely different from the servants on his side.If it weren't for the clothes, he really didn't look like a servant.

At this moment, a servant squatted down and reached out to touch their faces, "Huh?", and then reached out to their crotches.

"They seem to be guards, with stubble on their faces!" He said in surprise after checking.

Zhao Xi: "..."

The man who was forced to check looked humiliated, stared at him fiercely and said: "You little chick, I remember you——"

Zhao Xi said coldly: "Do you remember? I also said the same thing when I met the Queen Mother in a while, and I am rushing to reincarnate in the next life. Don't forget to seek revenge from him."

That person: "..."

They were just caught, and there was no way to fight back for the time being. Zhao Xi was worried, so he took out the dagger hidden on his body, handed it to the nearest servant, and casually ordered: "Cut off their tendons and hamstrings." , send it to the Longevity Palace and hand it over to the Empress Dowager.”
