Chapter 266 Lin Xingyao Gives Birth
Ma Fuhai's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "Doctor Qian, you are so bold! How dare you slander the emperor? This is a crime that will destroy your entire family!"
Doctor Qian, however, showed no fear at all. He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Destroy the whole family? There's no one left to destroy. My life is no longer worth caring about!"
"Today, I must meet the emperor, get to the bottom of this bloody case, and give justice to the deceased!" As he said this, he strode towards the hall regardless of Ma Fuhai's obstruction.
Ma Fuhai's face was gloomy. He waved his hand and several guards immediately surrounded Doctor Qian.
Doctor Qian showed no fear at all. His gaze was like a knife as he stared directly at Ma Fuhai. "Master Chief Steward, do you really think I have no one to rely on?"
"Since I dared to come, I have made full preparations. A real man has no fear of death. But if I cannot see the emperor today, the truth will spread throughout the capital tomorrow."
"Not only that, Eunuch Ma's hands aren't clean either, are they?"
Doctor Qian's threats were full of meaning, but they were half true and half false...
Ma Fuhai's face turned pale and red, and he was struggling fiercely inside.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and glared at Doctor Qian fiercely: "Humph! You are so cruel!"
Then he sighed deeply and waved his hand, "Forget it, just follow me. As for whether you can see the emperor, it depends on your luck."
Doctor Qian nodded slightly to Chu's father, indicating that they should leave first.
Mother Chu had cried so much that she was almost exhausted. She could only walk out slowly with the support of her maids.
Outside the palace gate, the sunlight was dazzling, as if mocking their sorrow.
At the same time, outside Xuanwu Gate
Prince Yong had just come out of the palace, with a look of solemnity and fatigue lingering between his brows, and was about to mount his horse and return home.
The servants of the palace had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. When they saw Prince Yong coming out, they immediately rushed over as if they had seen a savior, their voices filled with tears.
"My Lord, this is bad!"
The servant fell to his knees, speaking incoherently.
"The princess... the princess heard the news about the young prince and was so angry that she fainted!"
Prince Yong's face changed and his heart suddenly tightened.
"The princess... the princess also knew about it. In her anxiety... she had a miscarriage. I'm afraid... she's going to give birth prematurely!"
"My Lord, please go back and take a look!"
Prince Yong felt a buzzing in his head and his vision went dark. He grabbed the reins of his horse to steady himself and asked sternly, "Have you called the imperial physician?"
"I've sent someone to invite her, but...but the princess's condition doesn't look good..."
King Yong said no more, jumped on his horse, and shook the reins violently.
"drive!"
The horse neighed and turned around, carrying the anxious Prince Yong, and galloped towards the Imperial Hospital, leaving the servant crawling and tumbling to catch up.
Jingchuan's life or death is uncertain, and now Xingyao has a miscarriage. We must not let anything else happen!
Prince Yong was extremely anxious and rushed to the Imperial Hospital in person. He almost brought an experienced imperial physician with him and rushed back to Prince Yong's Mansion.
The palace was already in chaos.
Outside Lin Xingyao's bedroom, maids and servants were coming in and out, carrying basins of blood. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and medicine.
Princess Yong slowly woke up and learned that her daughter had a difficult delivery. Despite her own weakness, she struggled to the door. Her face was pale and she was supported by her maid. Her eyes were full of anxiety and fear.
This was the scene that King Yong saw when he arrived.
He suppressed the panic in his heart, walked to his wife and held her cold hand.
"Don't worry, the imperial physician is here. Xingyao and the child will be fine."
Having said that, Prince Yong looked at the closed door, and deep in his eyes there was a hint of fear that he dared not admit.
Inside the room, Lin Xingyao was lying on the bed, her hair and clothes soaked with sweat, her face was as pale as paper, her brows were furrowed, and she was in great pain.
The imperial physician was giving acupuncture, and the midwife was anxiously giving instructions.
"Princess, try harder! Try harder!"
"I see the end, I see the end!"
Time passes by bit by bit, and every moment is like torture.
Prince Yong paced back and forth outside the door, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Jingchuan fell into the hands of the enemy and his life or death is unknown. This news is like a huge rock pressing on his heart, and now his daughter is struggling for life and death.
He had been a soldier all his life, but he had never felt so powerless as he did at that moment.
Finally, a loud baby cry broke through the heavy air.
"It's born! It's born!" the maid guarding outside the door shouted in surprise.
Prince Yong stopped abruptly, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The midwife came out with a swaddling baby in her arms, her face full of joy.
"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The princess has given birth to a little boy, and both mother and child are safe!"
Prince Yong's heart finally settled down, and a tired but relieved smile appeared on his face.
Finally...finally something good happened.
He walked quickly forward, wanting to see his grandson.
However, Lin Xingyao's weak voice, which carried a hint of strange emotion, was heard from inside the house.
"Father..."
Prince Yong paused and said softly, "Xingyao, how are you feeling? Father will go in to see you right away."
"Father," Lin Xingyao's voice was filled with indescribable fatigue and determination, "My brother..."
Prince Yong felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, my daughter. Father will definitely find a way to deal with Jingchuan's problem and will definitely rescue him safely."
"The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of your body and not think too much."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
An old maid who served Lin Xingyao seemed to whisper something.
Then, Lin Xingyao's voice sounded again, but this time, it was with an almost indifferent persistence.
"Father, please send this child... to the Duke of Wei's residence."
The smile on Prince Yong's face froze instantly, and he almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
He took a few steps to the door, his voice rising involuntarily.
"Xingyao, do you know what you are saying? That's your own flesh and blood, my grandson!"
Inside the house, Lin Xingyao looked at the wrinkled little face in the cradle, and a trace of complex pity flashed in her eyes.
The baby seemed to feel the mother's gaze and moved its little mouth.
However, when she thought of the face that was somewhat similar to Wei Qiming's, and that humiliating night, an irrepressible disgust and pain surged in her heart.
She turned her head sharply away from the child.
"Father, whenever I see him, I'll be reminded of what Wei Qiming did to me!"
Her voice suddenly became sharp, filled with deep hatred and despair.
"I can't stand it! Let him go! Send him away!"
When King Yong heard his daughter's tearful words, his heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.
How could he not hate that beast Wei Qiming!
If he hadn't defiled his daughter, how could Xingyao have suffered this?
Now, the child she gave birth to has become a thorn in her daughter's heart that cannot be removed...
