The old emperor was so angry that his health deteriorated.
High-ranking officials and dignitaries were angry but dared not speak out against the old emperor's actions, and his reputation also plummeted.
What's more, many old officials submitted petitions to retire and return to their hometowns.
The old emperor knew that they had opinions about him, but he was not a broad-minded person. Just let the Crown Prince give the order, and those old ministers will be removed from their posts.
There is also the treasure map, but because of the fire at the Hua family, there has been no news about it at all.
The old emperor knew that there was no hope at all for the treasure map this time. He was so angry that he killed many people to vent his anger. The entire city of Bianjing was in panic.
…
Hua Changjue and his companions kept their identities secret throughout the journey.
But the number of people was too large, so they divided into several teams, claiming to be businessmen.
They also had the Qian family's business, so the journey to the north was relatively smooth.
In June, the junction of spring and summer, the weather was very good and the road was shaded by green trees all the way. The grass is lush and full of vitality.
They and their group arrived at Huaiqing Prefecture in the north.
It just so happened that Jiang was about to give birth.
So, Hua Changjue and his friends settled down here. I thought I would wait until Jiang had given birth and recovered before setting off again.
They rented two large houses and everyone moved in.
The fifteenth day of June.
Hua Changjue and others were discussing things in the study.
Jiang, Liu, Zhang Fengjin, Zhao Linger and a group of other female relatives were chatting and laughing while sewing summer clothes for the children of each family.
Jiang suddenly cried out.
Everyone looked at her quickly.
Jiang frowned and smiled, "My stomach hurts a little."
"Oh, your water broke!" Wang Po jumped up.
Liu also saw the wet corner of Jiang's skirt and hurried out to look for someone.
Originally, it was to keep a low profile and not cause any trouble. Except for those who went out to buy things, almost all the rest of the people were in the mansion.
Everyone heard that Jiang was about to give birth.
Everyone was very excited and wanted to personally welcome the arrival of this little life.
Soon, Jiang's yard was surrounded by three layers of people inside and three layers of people outside, with men, women, young and old all there.
Jiang had given birth to three children before, Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi, and Hua Qingqing.
So she was not nervous about this pregnancy. She ate and drank for a while, and only started to move in the evening.
Hua Changjue was outside the door, listening to Jiang's screams of pain, and he felt very uncomfortable.
In fact, when Hua Lingxuan and Hua Lingyi were born, he was not at home. He was away.
When Hua Qingqing was born, he rushed back, but Jiang had already given birth.
So this time, it was also the first time that I stood at the door, waiting for Jiang to give birth.
It is said that when a woman gives birth, she is passing through the gates of hell. He hadn't had any profound experience of this before. But this time, he felt it for real.
He was so nervous that sweat covered his forehead and face. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and leaned on the door to look inside.
Then she was pushed aside by several women who had given birth.
Now, no one calls him Lord Hua anymore. Young men and their wives called him Hua Bo. The older people who are of the same generation as him call him Lao Hua.
"Lao Hua, please stop standing there. You're disturbing the people coming in and out!" said an old woman.
Hua Cheng felt embarrassed and could only step aside. But I didn’t dare to go too far away.
His face turned pale and blue, and he clenched his hands tightly, fearing that Jiang and the child would be in danger.
Hua Lingxuan and Hua Lingyi both experienced this, Jiang gave birth to Hua Qingqing. Bihua Changjue had some experience, but he was also very worried.
The two couldn't help but secretly look at Hua Qingqing next to them.
At this time, Hua Qingqing was sitting on a stone bench in the yard. She clenched her hands into small fists and pressed them against her forehead, her eyes closed, not knowing what she was doing.
If you look closely, you will see light flashing in her little fist.
But everyone was looking at the door and no one noticed.
Jiang groaned in pain, and Hua Changjue and the others were extremely worried, staring at the door closely.
Suddenly the door opened and a young daughter-in-law ran out holding a basin of blood.
Hua Changjue and others hurried forward.
"How is it? How is Lan'er?"
The young daughter-in-law poured the blood aside. He said, "The baby hasn't been born yet, wait a little longer." Then he hurried back and closed the door.
Hua Changjue was worried, but there was nothing he could do but continue to wait.
In this way, we waited for another two hours, and it was just after midnight.
Suddenly, I heard a child crying in the room.
Hua Changjue climbed onto the door again in surprise.
Soon, Wang Po came out happily holding the child.
Hua Changjue hurried forward. Hua Lingxuan and the others also hurried over.
The tenth child of the Hua family was finally born. Everyone congratulated him.
Grandma Wang smiled and said to Hua Changjue, "Come and see your big fat son."
Hua Changjue glanced at his little son in the cradle and felt soft himself. He asked Wang Po again.
"How is Lan'er now? Can I go in and see her?"
Grandma Wang smiled and shook her head. "Jiang Lan is fine, just a little tired. The people inside are cleaning up, and you can go in when they are done."
Hua Changjue nodded. He looked at his little son in his arms with satisfaction. His face was full of doting.
"Son, call me daddy!"
Hua Lingxuan also foolishly came over, "Little brother, call me brother!"
Hua Lingyi curled his lips and said, "Come on, call me second brother!"
Hua Lingjian was not to be outdone and said with a smile, "Call me Third Brother!"
Seeing that they had said everything, Hua Lingshu also whispered, "Tenth brother, call me Fifth Brother!"
"Call me Sixth Brother!" Hua Lingnan said.
Hua Lingpeng also came over, "Tenth brother, call me Eighth Brother!"
Wang Po was speechless for a while, "He was just born. If you want to call him, you have to wait until he is one year old."
"What are you all so anxious about?"
Hua Changjue smiled!
"Wang Po is right. We are too impatient."
Just in time, Jiang’s house has been cleaned up! Hua Changjue's eyes lit up and he rushed in.
Hua Lingxuan, Hua Lingyi and the others also wanted to follow in. He was stopped by several daughters-in-law.
"Hey, we can't let too many people in. You should just stay outside and watch the kids first."
Wang Po brought the child to Hua Qingqing.
"Qingqing, look! This is your brother!"
Hua Qingqing opened her eyes and looked at the baby in the cradle tenderly. Stretch out your hands.
"Let me give you a hug!"
