Cining Palace.
At the end of the next day.
Liu Hao took Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, as well as Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing out of the house.
The carriage swayed into the palace gate and stopped at Kunning Palace.
Nanny Chen was waiting at the door: "The masters have arrived, the queen is waiting for you!"
Nangong Jiu ran as fast as an arrow and rushed into the hall: "Grandma, Grandma, we are here!"
Empress Chen put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Okay, okay! Come, sit down and rest for a while. We will go to the Cining Palace slowly."
Liu Hao walked in with Nangong Yunxue, bowed and greeted them, then sat down.
Liu Hao looked at the little guy snuggling up to his mother and acting coquettishly, deliberately provoking her.
"You're clinging to your grandmother so closely. Are you really scared and seeking her protection?"
Nangong Jiu stiffened his neck when he heard this: "What should I be afraid of? Ask Xiao Wang Xiaoxing, am I afraid?"
Xiao Wang suppressed his laughter and said, "No, Your Majesty, there is really no need to be afraid!"
"Yeah, I just dealt with two ignorant elders. What's there to be afraid of?"
Empress Chen's curiosity piqued: "Well, our Jiu'er is not afraid. They were wrong in the first place. But, can you tell the Imperial Grandmother how you dealt with them?"
"I just hid Cousin Xuan so they couldn't find him."
"That's great!" Queen Chen said with a smile.
"Yes, that's good!" Nangong Jiu felt more confident and puffed out his chest proudly.
"Ha ha……"
The whole room burst into laughter.
Seeing everyone laughing happily, Nangong Jiu also smiled with his eyes curved.
Empress Chen clutched her stomach and said, "Oh, Jiuer, you are really our happy pill!"
After everyone chatted and laughed for a while, Empress Chen was the first to stand up and said, "Let's go to the Cining Palace."
The group just arrived at the gate of Cining Palace.
I ran into Liu Xuan's family coming from the other direction.
A round of greetings.
Liu Xuan looked at Nangong Yunxue, her daughter, and little Wang Xiaoxing who were standing still.
She said angrily, "After all, you grew up in the countryside, so you have no manners. You don't even know how to greet me when you see me."
Empress Chen and Liu Hao's faces darkened. "Liu Xuan, what are you doing crazy again?"
Nangong Jiu was furious: "If we talk about etiquette, you should bow to my mother first, right? My father is older than you, and my mother is my father's wife. You should call my mother the Emperor's sister-in-law.
There is respect for elders, and you should pay your respects to my mother.
As for me, although you are the elder in name only, if you don't respect my mother, I don't have to respect you either."
Ning Changrong pulled Liu Xuan's hand and said, "Stop making trouble. We should pay our respects to the Empress's wife!"
Being scolded by a child, Liu Xuan suddenly felt humiliated and shook off Ning Changrong's hand: "If you want to salute, do it by yourself, don't drag me into this!
She is the murderer who killed my mother and my brother. Don't even think about asking me to pay my respects to her!"
Everyone present was shocked by Liu Xuan's blatant rudeness.
Nangong Yunxue directly retorted: "You really are a stubborn person, you always want to jump out and act crazy.
You say I harmed your mother and your brother? Excuse me, how did I harm them? Did I force them to do those evil things?
Your ability to confuse right and wrong really does resemble your mother."
Liu Hao carefully supported Nangong Yunxue, and upon seeing this, he lowered his head to comfort her: "Xue'er, don't give her a hard time!"
"How dare you say that about my mother!"
Liu Xuan took advantage of everyone's distraction and suddenly pushed Nangong Yunxue.
Liu Hao was holding Nangong Yunxue's hand, but was suddenly pushed away by the force, and Nangong Yunxue was pushed back and staggered two steps.
Fortunately, little Wang Xiaoxing supported him from behind and he did not fall. However, because he moved backward too hard, his stomach ached.
Seeing the painful expression on Nangong Yunxue's face, everyone panicked.
Nangong Jiu, who was originally supporting Queen Chen, became furious. He suddenly flew up and slapped the panicked Liu Xuan.
"Shrew, how dare you harm my mother!"
Liu Xuan was thrown far away by the force of the slap and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
"If you weren't the Emperor's daughter, I would have killed you today!"
Empress Chen was so anxious that she shouted, "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician..."
With the help of Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing, Liu Hao sent Nangong Yunxue to the side hall of the Cining Palace.
Liu Hao put Nangong Yunxue down with red eyes and looked at Nangong Jiu who was crying.
"Jiu'er, don't cry. Hurry up and save your mother!"
Nangong Jiu wiped her tears, climbed onto the bed, and placed her small hands on Nangong Yunxue's bulging belly.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand.
"With Jiu'er here, mother is not afraid. My brothers will be born safely."
After saying this, Nangong Jiu looked at Empress Chen again and said, "Grandmother, please call the midwife quickly! Mother is about to give birth!"
Empress Chen was furious. "That damned Liu Xuan, I will not forgive her. What should we do now? The midwives have all been sent to the General's Mansion."
Nangong Jiu looked at Xiao Wang Xiaoxing and said, "You two should hurry back to the General's Mansion and bring the two midwives into the palace. Hurry, saving lives is urgent!"
Little Wang Xiaoxing also knew that the situation was urgent, so without saying a word, he disappeared from the spot in a flash.
After a while, two men, each carrying a midwife, entered the side hall.
The midwife was so frightened by Xiao Wang Xiaoxing's speed that her legs went limp and she had to sit for a while before she recovered.
Nangong Jiu urged, "Come and see, mother is about to give birth!"
The main hall of Cining Palace.
Emperor Dongling, who rushed over after hearing the news, pointed at the kneeling Ning Changrong and his family of three.
"Prince Ning and Xuan'er are standing up. It's none of your business. You don't have to kneel with her."
Who dares not to listen to the emperor's words?
Ning Changrong had no choice but to pull Ning Jingxuan up.
However, Ning Jingxuan was unwilling and knelt down beside his mother again.
"Your Majesty, Grandfather, I beg you to forgive my mother this time. I am willing to take the punishment for her."
Emperor Dong Ling angrily kicked Liu Xuan and said, "Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan, why are you so cruel?
No wonder, your mother is like this, your royal brother is like this too, you just learned from them.
Lian Xuan'er, a little kid, is more sensible than you. You have lived all these years in vain.
You'd better pray that Xue'er and the two children in her belly are okay. Otherwise, I will take you with me to be buried!"
"Father, I was just so angry that I lost my mind. I didn't expect this to happen. I didn't mean to push her. Please understand!"
"What made you so angry? Xue'er and her daughter refused to bow to you, did they?
Where did you learn this rule that the emperor's sister-in-law should bow to you, the emperor's sister?
It seems that I need to find a tutor to teach you the rules again."
"Father, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on the Emperor's wife. Please forgive me this time!"
Emperor Dongling laughed angrily.
"How dare you say that Xue'er harmed your mother and your brother? Xue'er is not wrong. Your ability to confuse right and wrong is exactly like your mother's."
"Although she didn't directly cause the death, it was also caused by her." Liu Xuan muttered.
Emperor Dongling was furious: "Evil girl, go outside and kneel down. I don't want to see you..."
