It was dark and the Forbidden City was shrouded in darkness, but the Kunning Palace was brightly lit.
The palace lanterns were lit one after another, and several charcoal basins were placed around the two men. The flickering light illuminated the anxious faces of the two men.
Inside, Ning'er had been struggling for several hours, shouting until her voice became hoarse, but the little man still refused to come out.
Zhu Yunxi's originally calm heart began to become worried and nervous as time went by.
The old man could still sit still, but he kept walking back and forth outside the palace gate.
My daughter, try harder! In the hall, Mrs. Zhao’s shouts were filled with anxiety.
Mom, it hurts! Zhao Ning'er cried and tried hard, ah.........!
Suddenly, the shouting stopped.
Zhu Yunxi paused in his steps, and the old man stood up from his chair.
Immediately afterwards, anxious shouts came from inside, "Doctor, come quickly, the empress is angry!"
Ning'er! Zhu Yunxi went in regardless of the obstruction.
But you can't do it. Your Highness, please don't cause trouble!
Concubine Guo Hui blocked the door, and Mei Liangliang directly helped a white-bearded imperial doctor in.
Then, the trembling voice of the imperial doctor came from inside, "It's okay, it's just that I'm exhausted! Give the empress the ginseng slices to hold in her mouth, and dissolve the tranquilizing pills with warm water!"
In just a moment, Zhu Yunxi felt like he was fished out of the water, soaked with cold sweat. When he heard that Zhao Ning'er had turned the corner, he no longer had any strength in his body and leaned against the window.
Go and help your grandson sit down! The old man started to give instructions.
Your Highness, please slow down! The bastard gently supported Zhu Yunxi and sat down on the chair.
The old man looked left and right, at the imperial doctors kneeling against the wall. The corners of his eyes twitched a few times. They were a bunch of losers! It takes so long to give birth to a child!
All the imperial doctors did not dare to say anything at all, they all lowered their heads and trembled secretly as if they were thrown to the ground.
Everyone knows the old emperor's temper. If there is really something wrong with him, the imperial doctors who serve him will be the raft for the old emperor to vent his anger. Once the emperor becomes angry, none of them will be able to survive.
Seeing the cowardice of these imperial doctors, the old man became even more angry and bored.
He has been through this and has given birth to dozens of children in his lifetime. He knows very well that the longer a woman has to struggle with giving birth, the more difficult it will be. She may even be in danger of losing her life.
In the palace, many women died due to difficult childbirth!
However, the old man's worry cannot be written on his face. If he showed that kind of expression, his eldest grandson would be even more uncomfortable.
I'm eight generations older than you!
The old man looked at the gloomy sky and cursed fiercely. Are you going to torment our children and grandchildren? I'll dig a fucking hole in your face when you turn around!
Just as he finished cursing in his heart, his expression suddenly changed.
Because he suddenly remembered a sentence, a sentence that he didn't believe at all.
If you kill too many people in your life, you will be punished by your children and grandchildren...
The old man lowered his head, looked at his big hands, and then at the busy Kunning Palace, his face became extremely ugly.
Yes, we have killed too many people in our life, good people, bad people, and irrelevant people!
Repay it to your children and grandchildren......?
Suddenly, the old man remembered the person he once cared about the most.
His eldest grandson, Zhu Yunxi's eldest brother, suffered the same fate when he was born, but he only lived eight years old! That was his eldest grandson, the inevitable heir to the Ming Empire in the future. The old man held it in his mouth for fear of melting, so he held it in his hand
I was afraid that the inside would fall. I wouldn’t give it to the moon if I wanted stars. Dozens of royal doctors were around me from birth, and the best medicinal materials in the world were supplied to me.
But still, he only lived eight years!
The prince, whom he had high hopes for, and the successor he had carefully cultivated, also died young! He passed away before the age of forty.
Thinking of this, the old man, who had never been afraid of the King of Heaven, felt a little shaken in his heart.
Stretching out his fingers, he called Pu Bucheng to him and whispered, "Tell me, is there really retribution in this world?"
Pu Bucheng had served him for so many years, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, you are the real emperor, the real dragon in the world, how dare the retribution of the world fall on you!"
The old man's expression softened, but he was still a little worried.
but..........
Damn it, say it happily! The old man said angrily.
But.........! Park Bucheng continued.
The old man quickly became serious and listened attentively.
Pu Bucheng whispered, logically speaking, a slave should not say these things. But in this stall, these taboos are not taken into account, so the emperor will treat him as a slave Hu Qin...
The old man's veins are suddenly appearing, and he has no patience at all. You damn, you are looking for death!
You are the emperor, and the ghosts and ghosts in the palace will naturally surround you. But the dragons, dragons, and grandsons have not yet become dragons, so they are easily entangled by the little ghosts. Furthermore, there is a folk saying that giving birth to a child at night is very dangerous...
.....
The palace is not only the most solemn place in the world, but also the darkest place in the world. The people in the palace believe in these things. Especially in the inner court, many mysterious legends are circulated in private.
In the inner court, the yin energy is too strong, slaves......
Before Pu Bucheng finished speaking, the old man grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up.
Is there such a thing? The old man doesn’t believe anything in his whole life, but when it comes to his children and grandchildren, he would rather believe them or not. He stared and said, “What’s going on?”
Pu Bucheng was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, and with his feet dangling in the air, he said with difficulty, the original legend in the capital was that women should have more yang energy when giving birth. The masculine people protect the law, and the ghosts do not dare to come forward.
...........
As soon as the old man let go, he thought about it, go and call those killers! Put on your clothes and protect our granddaughter-in-law!
~~~~
The inner court was anxious, and the outer court was like an ant on a hot pot, unable to bear it any longer.
Suddenly, a little eunuch stumbled over.
Is there any news about this little father-in-law? Chang Sheng was the first to stand up and asked loudly.
Then, with a roar, hundreds of ministers surrounded the young eunuch in the center.
The little eunuch had never seen such a battle before. He swallowed his saliva. The emperor had a decree, and the military ministers entered the palace in disguise to protect the great grandson empress!
Huh? Everyone was stunned.
The civil servants are very particular about the son not talking about strange power and confusing the spirit, and they don’t believe this at all.
As for the warriors, the more they killed people, the more they believed in their hearts. And this was very common in this era. Even if someone in their family was seriously ill, or their daughter-in-law had a difficult childbirth, veterans of all battles would guard the door.
It means that evil spirits dare not get close.
Even if it is an ordinary family, a strong young man must be selected among relatives.
In fact, this has happened since ancient times. When Emperor Taizong was seriously ill in the Tang Dynasty, he selected some capable generals from the army to stand outside the palace to protect the law.
Song Guogong Feng Sheng said, Your Majesty wants us to be the door gods to intimidate you!
The founding father Chang Sheng looks at his brother Chang Sen, the third child, let’s go!
~~~
Ning'er, hold on!
Zhu Yunxi called softly outside the window, and Zhao Ning'er's weak and painful moans came from inside.
Under the lights, the hall was full of busy figures.
Outside the palace, Zhu Yunxi, who had no strength but nothing to do, could only follow in panic.
Suddenly, he saw the old man whispering to Pu Bucheng beside him, his eyes drifting into the hall from time to time, which made Zhu Yunxi feel even more excited.
Girl, hold on to your mother’s hand harder!
My dear, take a big breath, take a big breath!
Her ears were filled with anxious calls, and Ning'er's moans became fainter again.
Suddenly, there were sonorous footsteps and the sound of iron armor scraping outside.
Later, a group of military nobles, led by Feng Sheng, came in wearing armor and carrying swords, and knelt directly at the gate.
Lord, all the old brothers are here!
The old man also had a murderous look on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "We heard that there is a lot of yin energy in the palace, and I thought I would ask you to come and add some yang energy here to cheer us up!"
Well! Everyone roared, pressed their weapons, stood upright outside the palace, and blocked the door of Kunning Palace.
These people either carry sabers, meteor hammers or armor-piercing pendants on their bodies. Or they have iron bones stuck in their waists, or they hold iron maces and are filled with murderous intent. Especially the weapons in the hands of several veterans have no luster at all.
None, the wooden handles of the weapons were soaked with blood, as if pulp had come out of the plate.
This...... This scene is really ridiculous, and Zhu Yunxi doesn't know what to say.
The old man waved his hand, with these people here, damn it, not to mention the devilish devil, even the Prince of Hell will die if he comes here!
Suddenly, Zhao's heart-rending shouts came from inside.
Girl, don't close your eyes!
Madam, please wake up!
What's wrong? Zhu Yunxi shouted outside.
Doctor, hurry up, your lower body is red! Grandma shouted from inside.
See red?
There was a buzz in Zhu Yunxi's mind, but he didn't notice that the old man staggered and almost collapsed.
In the shadow of the window, a group of people surrounded Zhao Ning'er, all shouting.
Outside the window, Zhu Yunxi, who had a bad premonition in his heart, suddenly clenched his fists and shouted.
The people inside listened, no matter what, keep Ning'er safe! Zhu Yunxi shouted, if she can't give birth, she would rather save the adult. Remember, to protect Ning'er, protect the elder and abandon the younger!
The figures in the room were shocked by Zhu Yunxi's words.
Even the old man looked at his grandson with a somewhat unbelievable look.
~~~
Daughter!
Mrs. Zhao held Ning'er's hand and burst into tears, her daughter's blood still hanging on her fingertips.
Zhao Ning'er, whose face was covered with sweat and extremely weak, struggled to open her eyes, but her withered lips had not yet made a sound.
I heard Zhu Yunxi's cry from outside, save Ning'er, protect the elder and abandon the younger!
He has me in his heart!
Suddenly, a happy smile crept onto his face.
I don't know where the strength came from in my tired body after struggling for several hours.
Zhao Ning'er gritted her teeth and shouted loudly, "Son, come out!"
Wow! Wow!
Suddenly, the clear and loud sound of a baby crying echoed through the hall.
gave birth?
gave birth!
The people in the palace shouted with joy.
gave birth!
After being stunned for a moment, Zhu Yunxi laughed excitedly and hugged the old man, "Grandpa, I gave birth! Mao Ning'er was born, and my grandson is now a father! I am a father!"
The old man was shaken to pieces by his grandson. He grinned silently and laughed loudly. He suddenly shouted, "Are you a leader?"
Concubine Guo Hui laughed through the window, "Your Majesty, congratulations on your great-grandson. The little one probably weighs seven or eight pounds!"
With a handle!
The old man pushed his eldest grandson away and stood in the yard, looking up to the sky and smiling.
