The second story of the ancient sword II

"This, could it be that... is going to give birth?" Yi Ze hurriedly hugged Ah Ruan in his arms, his heart was churning, he didn't know whether it was nervousness or joy.Seeing Ah Ruan's sad look, he was at a loss for a while.

"...Hurry up, go back to your room..." Ah Ruan struggled to squeeze out a few words, her beautiful eyebrows knuckled into knots on her pale face.

"Oh!" Only then did Yi Ze realize that he hugged Ah Ruan horizontally with trembling hands, and ran straight to the main room.Ah Ruan's head was pressed tightly against his chest, and the hand holding his front was tightly clenched, almost sweating.

"Yi...Ze...Yi...Ze..." Ah Ruan was in pain and kept chanting his name.

"I'm here..." Yi Ze cast his anxious eyes on A Ruan, still full of tenderness.

After finally returning to the main room, Yi put A Ruan down slowly, gently brushed away her sweaty forehead hair, and said softly: "How can I make you feel better?" He took A Ruan's hand, Her hand trembled slightly in her own, and the cool palm was covered with sweat.

"The doctor said... giving birth...is such a pain, Yize... don't be afraid..." Ah Ruan looked at Yize with determination in his eyes.

"I'm going to find Mrs. Wen, and I'll be back soon."

"No...don't go..." Ah Ruan grabbed Yi Ze's corner of his clothes with all his strength, his eyes full of pleading.

"Why?" Yi Ze seemed to be calm on the surface, but his heart was already in chaos.

"...in case...turning back into dew grass...to scare people...what should I do?" Ah Ruan put his hands on his stomach, "How about...call Wenren sister to come over and help..."

"Wenren?" Yi Ze sat on the edge of the bed with a dazed expression and held A Ruan's hand tightly, thinking in his heart that Wen Ren was inexperienced after all, but A Ruan didn't want to call Wen Po over, so it's better to do both Bar.Instead, he squeezed out a smile, and said to Ah Ruan: "Okay, I'll let the Yanjia bird go."

"Well... I can persevere!" Ah Ruan nodded vigorously, his nails had already been firmly embedded in the quilt beneath him.

With a bright moon and no clouds, watching the small Yanjia bird dexterously cross the sky, Yi Ze quietly told the housekeeper to find the best stable woman in the city.

On a cold winter night, the capital city is still bustling, and under the night, there are birds, birds and swallows, feasting and feasting.The door curtain of Wanhualou was pushed open, and a burst of warm mist immediately rose.

"They're all vulgar fans... It's so hard for me to have fun!" The second prince Li Kang, dressed in casual clothes, came out of the Wanhua Building, his heart still burning with the day's events.But after thinking about it, if he really killed his father at that time, the rest of the matter may not be so simple.The third child is very shrewd, and those ministers are not stupid, if they see a flaw, they will be at a loss for words, so it is better to think of other ways in another direction.

"My lord, are you going back to the mansion?" asked the personal guard.

"Walk around." Li Kang got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the night market outside, still thinking non-stop.Li Kang finally got tired of wandering around aimlessly. After all, it was cold winter, and the carriage was not warm, and his feet were freezing cold.

"Go home!" Li Kang yelled inside, and as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a somewhat familiar person coming out of the medical hall in front, accompanied by Mrs. Wen and the doctor.

"Stop - stop -" Li Kang's mind immediately turned quickly. Isn't that the housekeeper of the third son's house?Please be careful, is it that the little lady is about to give birth?

"Go to the palace!" The people inside immediately changed their minds.

The carriage was speeding on the avenue leading to the palace, and Li Kang was rubbing the pure gold token in his hand, feeling infinitely comfortable in his heart, success or failure depends on tonight, and the plan to use it on the third child seems to be good!

Yuefu.

"It's no different, don't be too busy... I'll just cover my sweat." Wen Ren was sitting on the bed wrapped in a quilt, and when he came back from Binhai Palace in the afternoon, he suffered from the wind and cold on the road.

"Is it better?" Wuyi was sitting opposite, rubbing her temples. "Let you go back and forth in a carriage. You are always showing off. Riding a horse in such a cold day is easy to catch cold. I'd better go to the kitchen and get you some ginger tea."

"Yeah." Wenren nodded, sniffled his nose, not only felt cold all over, but also dizzy, it seemed that he was really going to be sick.

As soon as Wuyi left, a brown armored bird nimbly flew into the room, circled around the dome a few times, and landed steadily beside Wenren's bed.Knowing the information inside, Wen Ren didn't dare to delay, so he got up and straightened his clothes.

"Here we come!" Wuyi walked in with a steaming bowl of brown sugar ginger tea. Wenren, who had been watching the moment he entered the door, was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, quickly combing his hair.

"Hey, where are you going again?" Wuyi looked dissatisfied and pulled her shoulder.

"Hurry up and get ready, sister Ruan is about to give birth, let's hurry over there!"

"Ah—" Wuyi was stunned for a moment, his mind was muddled, and his tongue was tied.

"Ah what, hurry up!" Wenren urged.

"Oh!" Wuyi immediately ran to the side to get the sword, and at the same time, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Wenren: "Drink the ginger soup!"

"Hey, it's just giving birth, what are you doing with a sword?"

"Oh, I'm used to it." Seeing himself wearing a homely long gown with the sword hanging around his waist, Wu Yi also found it very strange.

Wenren quickly fixed it and was about to stand up. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and a little nauseous: "Ouch... this... this... is the same... I feel dizzy..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, if you're at home, I'll go alone." Wu Yi quickly grabbed Wen Ren's hand.

"Ah? You are a man, how can you help? No... no... I have to go!" Wen Ren patted his forehead.

"That's okay, you have to drink this ginger soup too!" Wuyi pushed Wenren on the chair.

The wheels spun fast, the horseshoes stepped out of the wind and dust in the dark night, and a luxurious carriage passed through the palace and arrived at the sleeping palace of the Tai Chi Hall.Inside, the maids and eunuchs came and went, very busy.Emperor Sheng Yuan still didn't wake up, and his continuous fever made him have constant nightmares and babbled nonsense from time to time.The concubines and concubines from all the palaces came in an endless stream, and their hearts were up and down, for fear that the saint who maintained their fate would just pass by, and the queen was also inside and never left.

"Get out of the way—get out of the way—" Li Kang jumped off the carriage and went straight to the bedroom. Seeing his mother inside, he felt even more like a divine help.

"Father hasn't woken up yet?" Li Kang looked at the comatose Emperor Sheng Yuan, with a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking in his heart, it would be best if he didn't wake up. It's such a good time.

"Reporting to my mother—" Li Kang took a step forward and saluted respectfully, "My son and minister watched the stars at night, and my father's illness was caused by the entry of stars into the Big Dipper. At the slightest, it would hurt the owner; at worst, the country would be destroyed and the family would perish !"

"Nonsense!" The queen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in her son's gourd, but when she heard that it was not good for the family and the country, it was not good for the saint, so she also got angry.

"It's better to believe what's there than to believe what's not." Li Kang gave the queen a wink, "The master is a dragon among men, and the emperor's illness may not be related to Xingbo."

"How do we do that?"

"Get rid of it—" Li Kang's eyes immediately flashed a fierce light, "Please ask the Taoist priest to teach and measure Xingbo's position! Waiting for my son to go and capture that harmful thing for my father!"

Xingbo?Buffalo?Kong Zhaoyi circled these two words in his mind, the queen acquiesced in such an absurd thing!There must be articles in this... Why do you need to find the direction?A bad premonition immediately came to Kong Zhaoyi's mind. Although I promised him that I would not set foot in the affairs of Li's family, but right now I have to... let me stand by and watch, there is nothing I can do...

Without thinking too much, Kong Zhaoyi immediately flashed out of the Tai Chi Palace, hurried back to her bedroom and let the pigeons fly in the direction of the Confucius Mansion.Looking at the birds going away, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that her father could help him after reading the letter...

On the bed in the main room, Ah Ruan's face was already pale from the pain, while Yi sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand tightly, feeling extremely anxious in his heart.

"Here we come, we come!" The doctor and Mrs. Wen walked into the main room led by the housekeeper.Yi Ze saw that it was them, so he shook his head helplessly, what should come is yet to come.

Ah Ruan was too uncomfortable and didn't care about that anymore, she just obediently let the doctor feel her pulse.As soon as Wen Po entered the door, she hurriedly came, and ordered the maid to boil water, and at the same time prepare the tools for delivery.

"Mother, don't worry." Wen Po wiped A Ruan's sweat while comforting her, "This woman suffers from pain even after giving birth, and the first child is always like this. You should go out first, my lord."

"Yi Ze...Yi Ze..." When Ah Ruan saw that they were going to push Yi Ze away, he became frightened, and his eyes stayed on him.

"How long will it take to give birth?" Yi Ze pulled Wen Po aside and asked in a low voice.

"How can the first child be born so fast? It won't be born in a while. Um... According to the empress, I guess it will take until midnight." Wen Po said with certainty, "It would be fine if the prince accompanied the empress first." , I didn’t eat anything, I’ll have some strength later…”

"……it is good."

"Ah Ruan, come eat some." Yi Ze carefully fed the porridge to A Ruan.

"...I...I can't eat...it hurts...it hurts... Yize, am I going to die..." Ah Ruan was almost crying, her hair was already covered with sweat, and it was sticking to her cheeks wetly.

"How could it be? Don't think about it." Yi Ze put down the bowl and carefully wiped the sweat from Ah Ruan's forehead.Looking sideways, he saw that A Ruan's skirt was already wet a lot.

"Oh, the amniotic fluid has broken, my lord, please get out!" The woman on the side hurriedly sent Yi Ze away.Wen Po supported Ah Ruan's legs, opened her dress, her straight and fair legs were trembling with unstoppable pain.

"Yi Ze..." She murmured his name, her teeth clenched, not wanting to make him worry.

"Your Majesty, if the pain is severe, don't bear it. If you want to shout, just shout out. When exerting force, cooperate with breathing, understand?"

"Ah—" Accompanied by shrill voices, Yi Ze's heart trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were fixed on the door, and his eyebrows were tightened.
