Unexpectedly, this child looked weak, but his determination was firm. No matter how they threatened or lured him, he insisted on arriving in the capital and meeting the person he was looking for before he would reveal his identity.
It's not good for them, they really forced a confession from a half-year-old child.
Jun Lingyun had a gut feeling that this child had an extraordinary identity, so he agreed to take him back to Beijing.
"Ling Yun, why do I think he doesn't look like the people from our Yunxiao Kingdom?"
Chu Yunxi leaned comfortably in Jun Lingyun's arms and chatted with him in a low voice.
"It's really not the same."
Although the etiquette and habits are done in a decent manner, they are always a little unnatural, which shows that they are learning and practicing now.
"Then which country do you think he is more from?"
Jun Lingyun didn't care much.
"We will know when we get to the capital."
Chu Yunxi nodded and asked no more questions. She was anxious to return to Beijing and didn't know how her mother was doing now.
In the capital city,
Mrs. Chu was admiring the flowers when she suddenly felt a tightening in her abdomen, followed by a wave of pain.
She held her stomach and steady her breathing.
"Spring, spring moon."
"Madam? Madam, what's wrong with you? You're about to give birth?"
Mrs. Chu nodded hurriedly.
"Come on, come on, come on, madam is going to give birth, come back to the master quickly! Go and tell Aunt Xiaolian."
Xiaolian sent people to ask questions every day, with many warnings and instructions. If Madam was about to give birth, she must be informed.
Everyone in the Chu mansion immediately became busy. They helped Mrs. Chu to the delivery room. The midwife who delivered the baby lived in the mansion and was soon ready.
The Chu family's servants were outside the palace gate, waiting anxiously for General Chu and Chu Wenhong to go to court.
However, Xiaolian got the news first and hurriedly took the nanny Chu Yunxi had arranged for a long time ago to go to General Chu's mansion.
At the gate of the General's Mansion, the guard guard was waiting, and he saw the nuns from the palace rushing over. He felt happy, but...
"Why don't you see Aunt Xiaolian?"
"Aunt Xiaolian was called to do some errands by the concubine in the harem. She will be here after a short delay. I will go in first to see Madam."
"this……"
The young men guarding the gate of the General's Mansion are all smart. How dare they let strangers into the house, let alone when the wife is in such an emergency as giving birth.
The grandma slapped her forehead.
"Look at me, when I'm in a hurry, I forget everything."
She quickly took out a badge and handed it to the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper naturally recognized the badge as it belonged to Xiaolian.
The boy quickly got out of the way.
"Mom, don't blame me, please come inside."
A maid immediately came to help and led the palace maid to Mrs. Chu's delivery room.
Then I heard screams of pain coming from inside.
"ah--"
Mrs. Wang, who delivered the baby, was comforting Mrs. Chu.
"Madam, I have to wait a little longer to give birth. Please be patient and don't complain that you have no strength."
Hearing the door curtain being opened, Mrs. Wang looked towards the door and saw that someone from the palace was coming.
The people in the palace, who a commoner like her could not neglect, hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"A common woman has seen grandma."
Auntie ignored her and just saluted Mrs. Chu.
"Madam, this old slave is here to help you deliver the baby on the orders of the Crown Princess."
Mrs. Chu nodded and asked weakly:
"Where's Xiaolian?"
"Back to Madam, Aunt Xiaolian was temporarily stopped by the concubine in the harem."
Mammy still said the same thing, but she paused briefly, as if she didn't feel comfortable speaking.
"You also know that the harem is full of nobles, and no empress can be offended."
Mrs. Chu nodded, that was the truth, but she still asked one more question.
"What's your last name, mama?"
Grandma said respectfully:
"Back to Madam, my surname is Zheng."
Madam Chu was finally relieved that the person Xi'er had told her was indeed Nanny Zheng.
"Then I'll help you."
"I will definitely try my best."
The nanny handed the small bundle in her hand to Mrs. Wang.
"This is a century-old wild ginseng. The Crown Princess found it specially for Mrs. Chu. Please go and deal with it quickly."
Mrs. Wang is indeed a noble person in the palace, and her actions are extraordinary. However, how can she, a midwife, do such a thing as dealing with wild ginseng?
Chunyue also stepped forward hurriedly.
"Mommy, just leave this to the slave."
Mammy didn't refute, and handed it over to Chunyue. This was exactly what she really wanted.
It's not easy for her to order the maids around Mrs. Chu, so she can be dispatched as she pleases by leaving a woman here.
"There is only one ginseng in this hundred-year-old ginseng. Girl, please be careful and handle it yourself. Don't do it by other people's hands."
"Yes, Mammy."
Chunyue understands what her grandma means, don't let others take advantage of her and tamper with the wild ginseng.
Although the general's mansion had been cleaned up, Chun Yue felt that her mother-in-law was absolutely right as she sailed with caution.
After Chunyue went out, while Mrs. Chu had another wave of pain, Grandma asked Mrs. Wang to check whether the water was boiled enough and the white cloth was ready.
Although Mrs. Wang felt that she shouldn't do these chores by herself, she was a nun in the palace, and she didn't dare to raise objections. So she retreated obediently.
Mrs. Chu was so painful that she was sweating on her forehead. When she regained her composure, she realized that the nanny was the only one left in the room.
Grandma took out a pill and put it to Mrs. Chu's mouth.
"Madam, the Crown Princess has personally prepared this for you. If you eat it, you will be able to regain some strength."
Mrs. Chu looked at this nanny and felt that something was wrong. Remembering the time when she and Xi'er were plotted against each other in the eldest princess's mansion, she didn't want to take the pill.
"No need, I still have the strength."
She wanted to delay the time until Mrs. Wang and Chun Yue came back. Otherwise, given her current situation, if there was really something wrong with this nanny, she would have no choice but to let the mermaid be her flesh.
What if she calls someone here and the nanny kills her?
But she didn't force her. She went to check Mrs. Chu's belly again and touched her belly a few times.
Mrs. Chu thought she was being too worried, and the next moment she felt a pain in her stomach, as if the child in her belly had turned around.
"ah--"
"Madam, please be patient, the fetal position is a little bit wrong, I will help you straighten it."
"Stop, stop!"
She had just seen the doctor the day before yesterday and he said that the fetal position was very normal. How come it was not right the next day?
In Mrs. Chu's mind, she was almost convinced that there was something wrong with this nanny.
In the spring moon outside, I caught a glimpse of Mrs. Wang coming out. She was startled and hurriedly put away the half-cut wild ginseng and stepped forward to ask.
"Aunt Wang, why did you come out if you didn't guard our wife?"
Mrs. Wang feels wronged.
"It's the nun from the palace..."
Chunyue ran back to the delivery room and heard Mrs. Chu shouting to stop.
Chun Yue didn't care to think about etiquette, she ran forward and pushed the nanny away.
"What are you doing? Someone, come quickly."
The grandma's eyes were sharp. She originally wanted to boil the frog in warm water so that she could escape, but now it seems that she can't.
How could Mrs. Chu be such a simple and easy-to-deceive person? She had done enough concealment, but she was still wary of her.
Seeing that the maid and mother-in-law had already rushed in, the guards were outside and did not know what was going on inside, so they did not dare to break into the maternity room.
The nanny smiled sarcastically, and since they were discovered, let's die together.
She actually took out a dagger from her sleeve and stabbed Mrs. Chu straight in the stomach.
