Chapter 332 Ouyang Xue's Difficult Childbirth
Chapter 332 Ouyang Xue's Difficult Childbirth
On March 15th, Nanye formally submitted a letter of surrender to Beixiao. Upon hearing this, the old emperor immediately recalled Xiao Hanye to discuss the issue of ceding land and paying compensation.
On the way back, Xiao Hanye did not stop for a moment, and he finally made it back before his son A Yue gave birth.
However, on the way, they met Leng Jiu and others who were covered in wounds.
"Your Highness... the capital has set up a dragnet waiting for you to jump in... you must not go back!"
Xiao Hanye frowned when he heard this. The capital city had really changed. He asked sternly, "Where's the princess?"
Leng Jiu raised his hand with shame on his face and slapped himself. Seeing this, Feng Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Leng Jiu, speak quickly. Now is not the time to act rashly."
It turned out that just when the two sides were about to fight, a man in black brought up the pregnant Su Xi.
Chu Ziyu staggered on the spot and said: "Xier..."
"Don't worry about me, go!" Although Su Xi didn't know what happened, she still shouted resolutely, and then she cried out in pain, "Ah!"
It turned out that she was slapped hard in the face by the leading black-clad man, and blood immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Looking at Su Xi, whose face was swollen like a bun, Chu Ziyu felt extremely heartbroken. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "Don't hurt her. What are you going to do..."
Surely he knew what they were going to do?
They want to hold my sister hostage to threaten King Yan...
It's just that both of them are the ones he loves the most, and he can't give up either of them. He forced himself to calm down, but the next moment, he went completely crazy...
The leader in black sneered, raised his sword and slashed at Su Xi's bulging belly, saying sinisterly: "Hand over the Princess of Yan, or the next sword will be the fetus in her belly!"
Looking at the bright red blood, Chu Ziyu collapsed instantly: "No...whatever you say is what it is!"
The leading black-clad man smiled triumphantly: "Kneel before me!"
He just didn't believe that he couldn't subdue this evil boy. Yes, he was the returning Chu Zhaoyu.
Looking at Chu Ziyu, who was dressed in fine clothes and crowned Marquis of Changping on his head, he was furious. Of course, he was not so paranoid that he couldn't bear to see his own son doing well. It was just that Chu Ziyu not only refused to recognize him, but also hoped that he would die.
Therefore, he must teach this rebellious son a lesson.
So what if this rebellious son is so arrogant?
Aren’t you going to kneel down and beg him now?
Leng Jiu saw that Chu Ziyu was completely hopeless, so he immediately swung his sword and flew up to kill the man in black: "Protect the Princess of Yan, the guards of the Prince of Yan's Palace, follow me and kill them!"
Unexpectedly, Chu Nanyue stopped them: "Stop it!"
She slowly got out of the car holding her belly, and glanced at Su Xi, who was lying on the ground wailing with a pale face. She clenched her fists and whispered to Leng Jiu, "Leng Jiu, I can't escape. I'm about to give birth. If I force myself to get out now, not only will I die, but I will also implicate you. Don't worry about me, hurry up and inform the prince, and tell him not to come back!"
How could Leng Jiu ignore his princess? He immediately replied, "No, I must protect the princess!"
Even if he dies, he has to die before his princess. Otherwise, how can he have the face to see his prince?
Chu Nanyue shouted, "Stupid! What's the point of dying together? The most urgent thing now is to save as many people as possible. As long as there is life, there is no need to worry about firewood!"
At this moment, the deafening sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out from outside the door, followed by a loud shout: "Your Majesty's decree, the Queen Mother is not feeling well, please ask Princess Yan to come to the palace as soon as possible to treat her!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Zhaoyu curled the corners of his lips and then quickly left. In an instant, all the men in black in the yard disappeared.
Chu Ziyu quickly got up and hugged Su Xi, and said with a worried look on his face: "Xier...how are you..."
Chu Nanyue looked at the imperial guards who were about to break in through the door, and pushed Xiao Tao to Leng Jiu: "Leng Jiu, Xiao Tao is betrothed to you. You must treat her well. Go quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"
Xiao Tao cried with tears in her eyes: "Princess...I will not leave you, I will stay with you..."
Leng Jiu glanced at the gate, then took a deep look at his princess, then gritted his teeth and flew out with Xiao Tao. He would apologize after notifying his prince!
Seeing the two of them leave, Chu Nanyue stroked her slightly aching abdomen, then took a deep breath and slowly walked towards Su Xi, who was bleeding under her: "Brother, quickly go into the house and get my medicine box!"
Su Hu was still polite, bowing his head and saying, "Your humble servant greets the Princess of Yan. The Queen Mother is not feeling well, so please follow me into the palace!"
Chu Nanyue raised her eyes and glanced at the dark mass of imperial guards in front of her. They were twice as many as the men in black just now. Haha, the old emperor really thought highly of her, but she suppressed her emotions and said, "Please allow me to treat my sister-in-law first, Lord Su."
Su Hu looked towards Su Xi, and then saw Chu Ziyu's pale face. His eyes sank involuntarily, and he was about to take him down when a voice came from behind him.
"The Royal Lord has arrived!"
Chu Nanyue didn't look up. She endured the slight pain in her body and devoted her head to treating Su Xi's wound carefully. Fortunately, the man in black didn't hit her hard and the scar was not deep, otherwise it would have required stitches.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."
Xiao Jun'an first glanced at Chu Nanyue, who looked unhappy, and then said, "Commander Su, what happened?"
Su Hu bowed his head and said respectfully: "My Lord, the Queen Mother is not feeling well. Your Majesty has asked me to take the Princess of Yan to see her for treatment."
Xiao Jun'an looked embarrassed: "Princess Yu is having a difficult delivery, so I'm going to ask Princess Yan to help..."
Originally, he was also left in the palace, but his princess gave birth prematurely and it was difficult to give birth, so he returned to the Prince's Palace and asked the emperor to bring the imperial physician back, but it was still useless, so he came to ask Chu Nanyue...
After not seeing her for a long time, she was still as calm as ever. Even at this critical moment, she still looked like a mountain of pressure. Perhaps, her emotions were only reserved for Xiao Hanye...
Thinking of this, a faint light flashed in his eyes...
Su Hu bowed his head and said, "Prince Yu, it's not that I won't make things convenient for you, but the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed, and the Empress Dowager cannot be delayed either. Please forgive me."
When he looked up again, he saw a clear mind. Xiao Jun'an replied, "Commander Su, the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. This king understands it. In this case, this king will take Princess Yu to the palace to ask Princess Yan to treat her!"
He naturally knew that his imperial order could not be disobeyed.
After the astronomical phenomenon, the emperor finally decided to take action against Xiao Hanye.
Su Hu bowed his head in gratitude, and then said coldly: "Marquis Changping, please accompany me to the palace!"
It was outrageous that a weak scholar could escape from right under his nose!
Chu Ziyu's eyes were fixed on Su Xi. When he saw the pain on her face ease, he turned around and said, "Du Fei, take good care of the Madam!"
But just when he was about to leave, Su Xi held his hand tightly, her face full of pain again.
Chu Nanyue pursed her lips and said, "Sister-in-law is about to give birth."
Then, she stood up slowly, but because her body was too heavy, she almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, Sizhu supported her in time.
She stood still and said, "Commander Su, please be flexible. My sister-in-law is about to give birth. Please give him some time so that he can fulfill his responsibilities as a husband!"
She subconsciously glanced at Xiao Junan.
Xiao Jun'an narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly: "The wife of Marquis Changping is giving birth today. Marquis Changping has been accompanying her in the palace. Commander Su, please return to the palace and report. If you delay, my father will be unhappy!"
Su Hu was loyal to the emperor. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard Xiao Jun'an's deep voice: "Come here, guard the Marquis of Changping's mansion!"
He finished speaking in a deep voice and then whispered to comfort Su Hu: "It's a good thing that Commander Su is loyal, but he also needs to be flexible. If the emperor knew that Marquis Changping had secretly escaped from the palace, he would inevitably question your ability. It is better to turn a blind eye. Moreover, I have sent people to guard the Marquis Changping's mansion. Now that Marquis Changping's wife is giving birth, Marquis Changping will definitely not do anything out of line. Don't worry, if anything happens, I will take all the responsibility!"
Xiao Jun'an has always known how to use both kindness and severity.
He has been in the imperial power since he was young, so how could he not have his own calculations, which might even be far beyond Xiao Hanye.
Therefore, the number of loyal soldiers under his command is no less than that of Xiao Hanye.
After these words came out, even Su Hu had to think calmly. He pursed his lips and finally bowed his head and said: "Yes, King Yu!"
But even so, he still added another layer of guards to the Changping Marquis Mansion on top of Xiao Jun'an's.
When they arrived at the palace, the Princess of the Western Regions had already been carried in, along with Ouyang Qing and Lin Yueyao.
Seeing her come in, Ouyang Qing said in an unusually serious tone: "Please, Princess Yan, save my sister's life!"
At this moment, he no longer had his usual playful expression, but was replaced by visible worry, and it was obvious that he really loved his sister.
Chu Nanyue pursed her lips and walked towards the bed.
It had only been three months since they last saw each other, but Ouyang Yu's belly was actually a whole circle bigger than the last time she saw it. Her face was pale and her breath was weak, as if she might die at any time.
She touched her belly, looked at her cervix, and shook her head, "The baby is too big and the fetal position is not right, so it is impossible to be born normally!"
"Then give birth to it abnormally!"
Almost at the same time, three voices burst out.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
"Greetings to His Majesty the Northern Xiao Kingdom!"
Xiao Jun'an and Ouyang Qing looked back and saw the emperor, and saluted at the same time.
The emperor waved his hand. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Ouyang Yu's face. No, to be precise, at this moment, the person he was looking at was Ouyang Xue.
Because of their aunt-nephew relationship, Ouyang Yu looked very similar to Ouyang Xue. Especially at this moment, with the same experiences and the same weakness, the old emperor could not tell the two apart.
Even the usually steady Jiang Shou couldn't help but exclaimed: "Princess Yu's belly is as big as the former queen's."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Lin Yueyao's eyes flickered subconsciously.
She didn't want to come to the palace, but because Ouyang Yu was pregnant, she pretended to be nice to her, which made her particularly dependent on her and she asked her to accompany her during the delivery.
Ouyang Yu not only looks like Ouyang Xue, but also has the same simple and harmless personality.
She didn't know that it was because of Lin Yueyao's intentional feeding that she was unable to give birth to the child.
Hearing this, Ouyang Qing and Xiao Jun'an did not react. Instead, the old emperor became angry on the spot. He had investigated the real cause of Ouyang Xue's death. It was because that bitch Yao fed her excessive supplements in the name of care, which caused the fetus to be too large and caused Ouyang Xue to bleed to death.
"How can this be possible? Is there a vicious woman like Yao in Prince Yu's Mansion?"
As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire bedroom suddenly became tense.
Xiao Jun'an subconsciously looked at Lin Yueyao. Lin Yueyao quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to look him in the eye. He understood everything in an instant.
Ouyang Qing suddenly realized: "No wonder there is such a strong smell of appetizing incense in my sister's room, it turns out that it was a conspiracy by you, a vicious woman!"
Lin Yueyao was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.
I didn't expect that she could be found out so easily by doing it so secretly...
In fact, if it weren't for the coincidence of Ouyang Xue's death, all she did would have been done without anyone noticing. And the appetizing incense she used could probably only be smelled by someone like Ouyang Qing, who had been dealing with all kinds of poisons for years...
In short, it was the right time, the right place, and the right people. She would have to pay for her jealousy in the end...
She hugged Xiao Jun'an's legs and cried, "Prince... I didn't..."
Xiao Jun'an kicked her away and said with disgust: "At this time, you still dare to complain? You really disappoint me. Didn't I say before that if you behave yourself, you will have a place in the Prince Yu's Mansion. But if you have evil intentions, don't blame me for not tolerating you!"
After he finished speaking, he stopped looking at her, as if looking at her any longer would pollute his eyes.
After suppressing his anger, he said to Chu Nanyue: "Princess Yu is in danger of death, please help Princess Yan!"
The old emperor said as a matter of course: "Princess Yan, please save her and her child quickly. Make sure they are safe!"
No matter what his reason was, the old emperor looked anxious at the moment.
Chu Nanyue glanced at Lin Yueyao, who had a pill stuffed into her mouth by Ouyang Qingqiang, and pursed her lips. She couldn't even save herself now, so how could she have the energy to save other unrelated people.
"I am just a doctor, not Guanyin Bodhisattva, I can only protect one of them, you decide..."
"Of course I'm protecting my sister!"
"Bao Yu'er!"
"Protect the Princess of the Western Regions!"
Almost at the same time, the three men said in unison.
In short, three people with different purposes were surprisingly consistent on this matter.
Ouyang Qing only has this one sister, and they have always had a good relationship, so of course he would protect his sister, there is no doubt about it.
Xiao Junan chose to protect her because he felt guilty for neglecting her during this period of time...
The old emperor was completely immersed in the panic of losing Ouyang Xue that year...
