Chapter 142 The Unlucky Prince Goes Crazy (12)
Tuoba Hong, who was in excruciating pain in the inner hall, had no idea what was happening in his palace. Wu Gui, who was kneeling on the couch, was tense and focused on how to get the baby in Tuoba Hong's belly out. He didn't hear a single sound from outside.
"Your Highness, use more force,"
"It's almost there, push harder," Wu Gui was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and wished he could just reach out and take him out.
Tuoba Hong clutched the blanket tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and followed Wu Gui's instructions to exert force again and again, but it was really too painful. Every time he tried to exert force, the strength he had gathered was dispersed by the pain.
"Your Highness, you can't do this. Don't push hard, or the baby will suffocate to death in your belly," Wu Gui reminded him as he gave him a bowl of ginseng soup to maintain his strength.
Tuoba Hong got a moment's rest. He was going to die. If he lived, how could he walk out of this room with the face? Would he let the whole world know that the fourth prince of the Great Sage Dynasty was a monster who had given birth to a child?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wu Gui didn't dare to say anything more and returned to kneeling on the couch. After a moment's rest, Tuoba Hong's mind became much clearer. He couldn't delay any longer and had to give birth to the child as soon as possible. He heard Wu Gui shouting "pull harder", clenched his teeth, and exerted all his strength.
"I see the end, Your Highness, push harder," Wu Gui shouted excitedly.
Outside the inner hall, Emperor Xuan heard the sound coming from the room and stood at the door with a grim face.
Li Dequan followed closely beside him, hearing every word spoken in the room. He recalled Emperor Xuan standing at the gate of Qinghua Palace, stunned for a moment, and his heart trembled. This person inside might really be finished tonight.
"Bang,"
The tightly closed door was kicked open by Emperor Xuan. Li Dequan gestured and asked two people to guard the door, then followed Emperor Xuan into the inner hall.
"It's out, it's out," Wu Gui's heart, which had been hanging in the air for half the night, finally settled down. She took the blanket she had prepared and prepared to hold the child. However, when she saw the true appearance of the "child", she screamed in fear.
"Ah," Wu Gui's scalp was numb and he was on the verge of collapse. He took several steps back and away from the bed.
Tuoba Hong could hear Wu Gui's screams, but he no longer had the strength to look up to see what was going on.
Emperor Xuan walked into the inner hall angrily, and was stunned to see that the scene before him was completely different from what he had imagined.
"You bold servant, how dare you plot to murder the Fourth Prince? The Emperor is here, why don't you surrender now?" Li Dequan stood in front of Emperor Xuan almost the moment he entered the inner hall, and harshly questioned the terrified Wu Gui.
When Li Dequan wanted to call the guards outside to come in and rescue him, Emperor Xuan waved his hand to stop him.
Before Wu Gui could recover from what he had just seen, he saw the emperor again, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is none of my business. The Fourth Prince gave birth to a monster. This is none of my business. This is none of my business..."
Wu Gui kowtowed one after another, and his words were so hurried that they didn't connect.
When Emperor Xuan heard Wu Gui's words and recalled the scene he had just seen when he came in, his heart suddenly ached. Li Dequan saw this and quickly reached out to support Emperor Xuan, who was about to fall.
Emperor Xuan waved away Li Dequan's hand and walked towards the bed step by step.
Tuoba Hong had exhausted all his strength and fell asleep on the bed. He was completely unaware of Emperor Xuan's approach.
Emperor Xuan saw the bloody ball on the bed and took several steps back in shock.
"What's going on? This is the fourth prince's...born child," Emperor Xuan almost gritted his teeth as he asked the last few words.
Wu Gui knelt on the ground, shaking violently. "Yes, I don't know what happened. When he came out, I didn't hear any crying, so I wanted to pick him up and pat him. But when I saw him clearly, I realized that this... was not a child at all, but a lump of flesh."
Li Dequan had been following behind Emperor Xuan and was unable to see clearly what the meat ball that Wu Gui mentioned looked like, but judging from Emperor Xuan's frightened expression, he knew that the thing must be scary.
He had seen all kinds of strange things in the palace for decades, but he had never heard of such a ridiculous thing as a man giving birth. But he happened to see it today.
For this kind of royal scandal, anyone who knew about it would have the same fate. Li Dequan couldn't help but worry about his own life.
In the inner hall, there was deathly silence for a long while. Emperor Xuan did not speak, and the other two people did not dare to make a sound.
"Li Dequan, you must deal with that dirty thing yourself. After that, send her far away from me. If a fourth person knows about this, I will exterminate all nine generations of your clan," Emperor Xuan said in a low voice, full of murderous intent.
Li Dequan took the order and glanced hesitantly at Tuoba Hong who was unconscious on the bed. Before he could ask a question, Emperor Xuan spoke again.
"The Fourth Prince Tuoba Hong, while under house arrest, openly indulged in pleasure in the palace. Effective immediately, he will be imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court, expelled from the Imperial family, and demoted to a commoner."
Mu Yan heard Emperor Xuan's decree on the roof and couldn't help but sneer. If he just thought about it like that, wouldn't it be too unfair to his hard work during this period?
Wu Gui followed Li Dequan's instructions and followed him all the way to Jiaomen. Liu Wei had already harnessed the carriage and was waiting there. Before getting in, Li Dequan repeatedly reminded Wu Gui to perform the show thoroughly. Wu Gui promised him on his life that he would not reveal a single word.
The carriage left the corner gate. Li Dequan looked at the carriage going away and snorted, "How much is your life and property worth?"
Wu Gui sat in the carriage. After about half an hour, the carriage suddenly stopped. She thought they had arrived at their destination, so she lifted the door curtain and prepared to get off.
When she opened the door curtain, she found that the carriage driver had disappeared long ago, and she was the only one left with the carriage in the wilderness.
In one night, Wu Gui was frightened more than she had ever been in the first half of her life. She jumped out of the carriage, grabbed her bag, found a random road in the moonlight, and ran away in a panic.
Liu Wei, who was originally planning to take action here, was now sleeping and stuck on a thick tree branch.
Muyan stood on a treetop not far from him. Emperor Xuan’s secret weapon was just this.
Before leaving, she deliberately jumped over and stepped on his back, borrowing the force. Mu Yan disappeared in the blink of an eye, but Liu Wei was stuck on the tree branch.
When Tuoba Hong woke up again, he found himself lying in a completely unfamiliar room. He supported himself on the bed with his hands, raised himself up and looked around.
He was no stranger to this place. He had previously visited the imprisoned Fifteenth Uncle on behalf of Emperor Xuan. But why was he here? Where was Wu Gui? Where was his... child?
"Come here,"
"Come here,"
Tuoba Hong stumbled out of bed, called out to someone but received no response. He then walked to the table and threw all the teacups on it to the floor. The sound of the teacups tumbling quickly attracted the guards at the door.
