Chapter 141 The Unlucky Prince Goes Crazy (11)
Xuan Erhua smiled calmly and talked to Liu Eryu for a while, which dispelled Liu Eryu's dissatisfaction with the eldest wife. Liu Eryu held Xuan Erhua's hand and sent her out of his yard in a friendly tone. Before leaving, he asked her to come to his yard more often.
After seeing Xuan Erhua off, Liu Eryu thought about what she had just said to him, and his steps back unconsciously became much lighter. Han Mo heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and looked up to see his mother, who looked completely different from before. He shook his head helplessly.
Xuan Erhua said that after the princess gave birth at full term and the relationship was completely stable, Mo Su's father would submit a memorial to the king, proposing that he be made a fourth-rank minister. Han Mo knew that in order to prevent the first wife from feeling disappointed and making her speak nonsense, he would definitely be able to become a fourth-rank minister. However, this would completely reverse the relationship between the second and first wives.
The first wife became a villain who used the handle to threaten the second wife for an official position. Hanmo did not like this kind of inferior relationship, especially since the person was Mo Su, whom he always looked down upon.
Since Princess Xianyun became pregnant, Mo Su had been with her almost every moment, apart from attending court and handling official business, taking care of her attentively. Xianyun saw it all, and even though she was in great pain during the early stages of her pregnancy, Mo Su's companionship and love made it less difficult.
Mo Su's companionship for several months earned him Princess Xianyun's wholehearted trust. With Xianyun's trust, he didn't have to put in much effort in the court and was steadily promoted.
When Xianyun was five months pregnant, Mo Su was dispatched by the king to the Kingdom of Wu to discuss a grand plan for an attack on the Great Sage Dynasty. Leaving Western Region City with the delegation, Mo Su, riding his horse, gazed back at the towering city walls. He felt a sense of relief he hadn't felt in months. At home, he had to play the role of a loving husband, while at court, he endured the mockery and sarcasm of his courtiers.
Fortunately, his forbearance over the past few months was not in vain, and he got the opportunity to leave the Western Region City in a fair and honest manner.
How could he, Mo Su, raise a child for someone else?
In the palace, Tuoba Hong seemed to be forgotten by everyone. He was locked in his own bedroom for several months. No one in the palace talked about him anymore. This was exactly what he wanted. He calculated the time and knew that he would give birth in the next few days. He would give birth to the evil child in his belly without anyone knowing and then deal with him.
As for his current situation of being neglected, Tuoba Hong didn't take it seriously at all. That position would be his sooner or later, and it could only be his.
A few days later, late at night, Tuoba Hong felt a sudden warmth beneath him while he was sleeping. Before he could react to what it was, his stomach suddenly started to ache. He opened his eyes abruptly, and found that the blanket beneath him was already wet.
He is about to give birth.
Even though Tuoba Hong had brainwashed himself for several months, at this moment, the embarrassment in his heart still came out all at once. The fourth prince of the Great Sage Dynasty was actually lying on the bed like a woman, with a big belly and legs spread out, waiting for a child to come out of his body.
Tuoba Hong picked up the thick handkerchief that had been prepared beside his pillow and bit it in his mouth. The veins on his forehead bulged out, and he used all his strength, just wanting to quickly give birth to that evil creature from his body.
In just a few moments, Tuoba Hong's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he collapsed on the bed exhausted. The child showed no signs of coming out, and his strength was gradually expended.
Tuoba Hong stared at the green silk tent with lifeless eyes. After a while, he gritted his teeth and shouted to the door,
"Wu Gui," this call almost exhausted all his energy.
Wu Gui was the midwife he had hired outside the palace when he was released from house arrest. He had been arranging for her to serve him in the inner hall as a eunuch. He had originally wanted to give birth to the child by himself, and Wu Gui was just a preparation he made just in case, but it was obviously impossible for him to do it on his own now.
"Fourth Prince," Wu Gui heard the unstable voice in the inner hall and knew that the nobleman inside had arrived. She hurriedly pushed the door open and walked into the inner hall.
Seeing the man on the bed with his clothes soaked and looking a little disheveled, Wu Gui's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. His hands hanging by his sides began to tremble uncontrollably. Seeing this scene on the bed, Wu Gui subconsciously wanted to run away.
The person on the bed seemed to have noticed her thoughts and glared at her.
From that look, Wu Gui seemed to see the scene of her seven-year-old son about to die tragically under the knife. She suddenly woke up, raised her panicked feet, and went to get the things for delivery that she had prepared before.
"Breathe deeply and push hard."
“Use more force…”
Wu Gui knelt on the couch to deliver Tuoba Hong. She had been delivering babies for most of her life and had never been so nervous.
Mu Yan lay on her back on the roof, with one leg half-bent and one hand casually placed on her knee. She looked up at the starry sky and occasionally heard Wu Gui's voice urging Tuoba Hong to work harder from the inner hall.
Wanzai: "Boss, we've come out of Concubine Shu's Palace and are heading back to the Yangxin Palace," Wanzai reminded.
Upon hearing this, Muyan slowly took out a fire starter from her sleeve, removed the cap, and blew gently. Soon, flames came out of the thin round hole.
She raised herself up with one hand and threw it towards the yard with her back to him.
Emperor Xuan placed his hands on the handles of the sedan chair, closed his eyes and was resting on the backrest of the sedan chair when he suddenly heard a eunuch shout,
"The fire broke out."
Emperor Xuan opened his eyes and saw thick smoke coming out of the palace not far away.
"Li Dequan, whose bedroom is the one that's flooded?"
"Your Majesty, that is the Fourth Prince's bedroom," Li Dequan replied, lowering his head. He then raised his head cautiously, observing Emperor Xuan's expression calmly. When Emperor Xuan heard that it was Tuoba Hong's bedroom, his eyes were complicated, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
Li Dequan didn't dare to say anything, he just bowed and followed the sedan chair to the Yangxin Palace.
"Let's go and have a look." After the sedan had moved a few steps, Li Dequan heard Emperor Xuan's voice, and he called out in a shrill voice, "Go to Qinghua Palace."
The eunuchs and palace maids near Qinghua Palace rushed into the palace with buckets of water. They followed the thick smoke.
"There was a crash,"
The eunuch who was rushing in the front was only thinking about putting out the fire. When he saw the thick smoke, he picked up the bucket and poured water out.
The people who rushed in right after him looked at the fire in confusion as it was put out with just a bucket of water.
No one expected that the place where they had been shouting so loudly and anxiously about the water was actually just a pile of half-dry firewood.
"Who shouted 'fire' just now?'" the leading eunuch asked sternly as he approached and saw the extinguished firewood pile.
A group of eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other in confusion, and then lowered their heads one by one.
Seeing that no one admitted it, the leading eunuch had no choice but to call his apprentice to investigate thoroughly, and then he called a few younger eunuchs to clean up the pile of firewood.
Before Emperor Xuan got off the sedan chair, he saw several young eunuchs carrying a pile of firewood out of the palace gate.
Li Dequan stopped the sedan chair, immediately walked forward to inquire about the situation, and then trotted back to report to Emperor Xuan.
