What he injured was his shoulder, and the pain made him almost numb from shoulder to arm. At the same time, he fell down with the force of being kicked. Even though he used his hands to protect him in advance, his stomach was inevitably squeezed.

He was in extreme pain up and down, but he had a stubborn temper, he clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

Xia Chuan, who was guarding the gate outside, heard the commotion inside, hesitated a few times, and finally left the guard and ran to find Liu Shanglu for emergency.

In the room, Ming De's mood improved a little after venting, and his expression was not as violent as before. He took a step forward, squatted down and looked at Xia Jing who was frowning and forbearing, and said, "Zigao, I thought you were not so unruly in the past." People who know the times."

Facing such Mingde, Xia Jing was shocked and fearful.Since joining Mingde that year, he has tried his best to play the role of a favored minister. He seems to be able to do a job with ease on weekdays, but in fact he is trembling and walking on thin ice. He has only seen the fury of thunder, but has never personally experienced it.

In the current situation, even if he should have a way to resolve it, the more and more obvious pain in his stomach made him panic.

His breathing became heavier and heavier, and he didn't dare to speak again, because he was afraid that when he opened his mouth, he would groan in pain, so he just lowered his eyes and held it hard.

Mingde has seen him charming, cheerful, capable, and ingratiating, but he has never seen him like this. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly lifted his chin with a folding fan, forcing this person to look directly at him , and said slowly: "Or, you and Zhou Yi, are there really something important that you are hiding from me?"

Xia Jing's eyelashes trembled slightly, his face and lips were pale from the pain.

But Mingde's steadfast appearance, which refused to utter a single word, aroused Mingde's interest, and after staying with him for a long time, he found that he didn't seem to know this person at all.

"Zigao, you know, don't try to challenge my bottom line. If you are willing to admit your mistake now, I will give you another chance."

On the one hand, Xia Jing pulled himself together and forced himself to immediately think of a way to overcome the difficulties in front of him. On the other hand, he found that his stomach was getting more and more wrong, as if it was tightening in bursts, and the pain made him almost tremble.

Seeing him being so stubborn, Mingde's anger came up again. He could let the courtiers argue, that was his intention, and he was happy to see it succeed. It is challenging his authority, he will never allow it!

In particular, this person was single-handedly picked up by him, and he has been a very satisfied "pet" over the years!

Then his patience was exhausted, he removed the folding fan with a cold snort and stood up, about to reprimand, his eyes froze for a moment, and suddenly froze under Xia Jing, where a dazzling bright red was slowly spreading.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open, and two people broke in from the outside. One was Xia Chuan, who was supposed to be guarding the door, and the other was Liu Shanglu, who was carrying a medicine box and was dressed plainly.

As soon as the two broke through the door, they went straight to Xia Jing who was lying on the ground. Xia Chuan knew Mingde's identity and remembered to sue him.

Liu Shanglu, who was hurriedly pulled here without knowing anything, saw the blood under Xia Jing's body, took a breath, hurriedly stuffed a medicine into his mouth with a solemn face, and directed Xia Chuan to send him to the hospital. bed.

Then he quickly followed up to get Xia Jing's pulse, and after the pulse was checked, he carefully groped his belly, asking while exploring, "Does it hurt here? How is this place?"

Xia Jing still frowned, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and could only respond to Liu Shanglu's diagnosis by nodding and shaking his head.

Xia Chuan also watched anxiously from the side.

On the contrary, Mingde seemed to be completely ignored by the few people in the room.

After inspecting his belly, Liu Shanglu flipped his hands and lifted Xia Jing's robe directly. The originally white underpants had been completely stained red with blood, causing the three people in the room to tremble with fear.

Mingde was even more puzzled, his eyes were glued to the blood and he asked: "It's just a fall, how could it be so serious, and why did his belly swell so much? Are you a doctor? What disease is he suffering from?"

Liu Shanglu is a man of integrity, and without Xia Jing's approval, he would never speak of this matter to the outside world.

There was no movement on his side, so Mingde turned to the other person: "Xia Chuan, tell me, what's wrong with your master?"

But Xia Chuan is loyal to Xia Jing, even if the person asking the question is Ming De, he will not confide a word.

At this time, Xia Jing, who knew from Liu Shanglu's performance that he was in a bad situation, suddenly had a quick idea, and a self-help plan gradually took shape in his mind.

It was also after this that he suddenly let go of his previous persistence and forbearance, loosened his clenched teeth, and grunted loudly. He grabbed Liu Shanglu's sleeve with his uninjured hand and said intermittently: "My child... must To save for me..."

He took the initiative to reveal it like this, but Mingde was taken aback for a moment. What does the child... mean?The belly has become so big... It bleeds when you fall... So, this belly is pretending to be a child?

Mingde's thinking was a little bit overwhelmed for a while, this Xia Jing is really the man he personally certified!How can a man have a child in his womb?What kind of anecdote is this?

However, he thought about Xia Jing's abnormal behavior in the past few months, and Xia Jing used a roundabout way to escape Cheng Chong before leaving Beijing. This is something that rarely happened in the past. , all traces point to this fact——

The courtier whom he has "loved" for many years by his side may really be pregnant like a woman!

It's not that Mingde has never seen pregnant women. In fact, there are nearly twenty princes and princesses under his knees, and concubines become pregnant almost every year.

He looked at the size of Xia Jing's belly again and counted the days, and he was shocked again. If this fetus was conceived before the other party went south to Yangzhou to be the chief examiner, it would make sense.

At that time, he was reluctant to let Xia Jing leave Beijing for more than a month, so he dragged people to stay in the West Nuan Pavilion of Qinzheng Palace for three nights. Naturally, this stay could not be a simple night chat by candlelight. If it was conceived at that time, it should be the same now It's the month!

Could it be because of this appalling situation that Xia Jing tried every means to stay away from the capital, away from him, and wait for delivery alone?

Connecting the cause and effect together, Mingde thought he had figured out the true face of the matter, and hurriedly stepped forward in ecstasy and asked: "This child...but...but..." My?

Xia Jing still didn't talk to him, just clutching the thin quilt tightly, allowing Liu Shanglu to check his body, his muffled moans were filled with suppressed pain.

The ecstasy in Mingde's heart turned into eagerness, thinking that Xia Jing was thin-skinned because he was pregnant with a man, and he was angry that he was angry at him indiscriminately, so he refused to admit it, so he turned to grab Liu Shanglu's lapel He must keep the child in Xia Jing's womb.

But Liu Shanglu only said: "Please go out with Xia Chuan, I want to prick the acupoints for Lord Xia to protect the pregnancy."

Although Mingde let go, he didn't move a step as if he was nailed to the spot.

Xia Jing was in excruciating pain, his stomach contracted and tightened again and again, he was afraid that something might happen to the fetus in his womb, knowing that he couldn't control Mingde, he barely said a few words, only to let Xia Chuan go out.

Although Xia Chuan was worried about Xia Jing's situation, he didn't dare to disobey his order and left.

Unexpectedly, Mingde also moved out of the house at this time, and before leaving, he told Liu Shanglu: "If there is something wrong with Master Xia's birth, don't take your life!"
