Chapter 408 Aren't you forcing me to have a daughter?
Soon, calm returned to the ground. However, from the villa not far away, bursts of heart-rending wails could be heard.
Huang Shaoyu stood up and said: "Your Highness, can you lend me a team of troops? I want to go over and have a look."
The eldest princess said: "Of course."
After saying that, she called the guard commander, counted a group of people, and went with Huang Shaoyu.
Wang Xiu stood up at this time and said to Huang Shaoyu: "Build a temporary shelter in the open space. The wounded will be placed there first. I will come with the medical kit."
The eldest princess said quickly: "It's better to ask Dr. Li to come over. You are pregnant now and cannot work hard."
Dr. Li was the medical officer who accompanied him when he came to the palace.
Lu Yunhong also said: "Don't worry yet. If Dr. Li is too busy, there should be a medical clinic nearby. Just ask the inn to find out."
Soon, the postmaster of the post station was found by Lu Yunhong.
The postmaster said: "We have Fang's Medical Center here, which is in the village in front, very close."
After Lu Yunhong heard this, he said to the postmaster: "You are familiar with the surrounding terrain. First find a safe place for the injured, and ask someone to notify all nearby doctors who are skilled in medical treatment. Be quick."
The postmaster also knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly led his people to organize the situation.
Seeing this, Song Muting also asked someone from the inn to lead the way, preparing to go to the county town to buy some food, wound medicine, etc.
Lu Yunhong said to Wang Xiu: "If you want to go there later, I will accompany you."
The eldest princess said: "I should accompany Axiu. They have all gone to work. When the nearby officials arrive, there must be one who can handle things here."
Lu Yunhong didn't want to agree. Those officials came here just to express condolences to the eldest princess, and it was not worth his time.
Wang Xiu also saw his hesitation and said: "The pregnancy thing hasn't happened yet, so it may not be true. Just stay here. Your Highness and I will go over to take a look later. If there are not many injured people, we will be very careful."
You'll be back soon."
Lu Yunhong had no choice but to nod after hearing this.
He said to the eldest princess: "Then I'll ask Your Highness to take care of Axiu."
The eldest princess replied: "Don't worry, I am more precious than you, Axiu."
Lu Yunhong looked at Axiu's belly. Although he was not sure yet, he repeatedly told Axiu: "Be careful and get more rest. I will send them away."
Wang Xiu nodded and urged him: "There are still a lot of things to do at the inn, so hurry up and leave."
After Lu Yunhong heard this, he left.
The inn could no longer be accommodated, so Lu Yunhong directed the guards to set up tents nearby.
Fortunately, with sisters Lu Yunyuan helping to take care of the children, the eldest princess and Wang Xiu could go over and have a look without any worries.
At that time, it was dark and quiet, and except for the lights that came on one after another in the distance, everything else looked dark.
The distant mountain peaks are like a dark cloud on the horizon, blocking the light of the sun, moon and stars. I wonder when the sky will be bright again?
After the little eunuch brought Wang Xiu's medicine box, they set foot on the path to the village.
Along the way, the eldest princess held Wang Xiu's hand, looking a little nervous.
Wang Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to explain: "I'm not sure yet. Your Highness, please relax."
The eldest princess said happily: "I'm just not sure, but I'm probably pregnant, right?"
"I know you won't say anything about Wuying, so you have to work hard this time to give birth to a daughter-in-law for me!"
Wang Xiu: “…
"Well, I want to have a son."
The eldest princess suddenly looked resentful and said unhappily: "Aren't you forcing me to have a daughter?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said: "If you are pregnant now, I think Chengxi is quite suitable."
The eldest princess hummed: "Who should I look for to get pregnant? Are they worthy?"
Wang Xiudao: "Whether he is worthy or not, isn't it just a matter of your words? I think Mr. Huang is very good and very responsible."
The eldest princess said: "It is precisely because Mr. Huang loves the people as his own son that I have to respect him even more. How can I take over someone else's house just because of my own selfish desires?"
Wang Xiu smiled and said, "Oh, it sounds like you are quite willing."
The eldest princess smiled and scolded: "Is it possible that you are happy to hear me belittle Mr. Huang? Really, it is getting more and more unseemly."
Outside the tent being set up, Lu Yunzhu, who was watching them leave, heard the conversation and suddenly became worried.
She asked Lu Yunyuan: "Second sister, Mr. Huang won't really go to Princess Shang, right?"
Lu Yunyuan said: "What's wrong with Princess Shang? Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is so kind and she is the biological sister of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Is it possible that she would still wrong Master Huang?"
Lu Yunzhu said: "That's not what I meant. I just heard that after becoming the consort, it seems that you will not be able to serve as an official in the court."
Lu Yunyuan said: "Of course not, but within Jiuqing, it should be impossible."
Lu Yunzhu sighed: "Every gain must come with a loss, but I don't think Lord Huang will be willing."
Lu Yunyuan was very puzzled by her sister's entanglement on this issue, and said calmly: "His Highness and sister-in-law were joking, can't you hear it? Besides, this is Mr. Huang's own business, so why should you worry about it?"
After Lu Yunzhu heard this, she was a little angry and a little aggrieved. She muttered: "That's because, if I hadn't misjudged the person at the beginning, given Mr. Huang's appearance, wouldn't it be possible that the second sister would look down on him?"
"But now that the second sister has Brother Song, if Mr. Huang goes to Princess Shang, I don't think he will be happy."
Lu Yunyuan was funny and angry. She tapped her sister's forehead and scolded her in a low voice: "You, you, you are still thinking about this! If you had been willing to listen to me, you could have just apologized to Mr. Huang.
It must be postponed until now."
"Don't worry, Lord Huang has forgotten about that matter a long time ago. You should forget about it too. Lord Huang is smart and capable and knows what he wants. He doesn't need you to worry about him."
Lu Yunzhu pursed her lips. Although she was still a little reluctant, she knew that the second sister was telling the truth, so she said calmly: "Okay then."
She decided to apologize when Huang Shaoyu came back later, as if this was the end of her worries.
…
In Xuejia Village not far away, dogs barked incessantly due to the earthquake.
Zhou Ling and others who were originally staying in the village were also on guard.
Gu Zizhen went out to inquire and came back and said anxiously: "Seventh Master, Huang Shaoyu has brought people over, and there are also many guards from the eldest princess's palace."
After hearing this, Zhou Ling said calmly: "I heard someone was injured in the village and came to rescue me. Don't make a fuss."
"It's you, you just went out, how many wounded did you find?"
Gu Zizhen said: "There are only a dozen households in this village, and the ones injured are the households at the foot of the mountain. Not many, about two or three households, but the specific number of people is unclear."
After Zhou Ling heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Put out the fire, let's go out!"
"Seventh Master!"
The remaining seven or eight followers all spoke in unison, as if their hearts were about to beat out of their nervousness.
Zhou Ling tightened his grip on the wheelchair and said displeasedly: "The village chief knows that we have moved in and will report the number of people after counting. Do you think you can escape?"
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have allowed Master Qi to do whatever he wanted, others thought, but it was too late to regret it now.
Of course they could also take the opportunity to hide in the mountains, but the few people who disappeared out of thin air must be more eye-catching, right?
Unconsciously, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
