Chapter 184 Smooth Delivery
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Dongrou actually picked up a dagger and stabbed towards Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin dodged easily, and the sisters from Qingyi Tower stepped forward to support Zuo Dongrou on both sides, preventing her from moving.
Zuo Dongrou stared at Xiao Jin fiercely, "Xiao Jin, you faked your death..."
"You're here for today, aren't you?"
Her eyes were bloodshot, and she began to imagine all sorts of things, "You are the one who is really rebelling!"
"Now that the emperor is dead, and the other uncles are dead too, you're the only one left!!!"
Zuo Dongrou felt more and more that what he thought was right.
"It's you! It's you!"
"Xin Jiancheng, capture Prince Rui!"
Xin Jiancheng stood there in a daze. Zuo Dongrou's condition...any normal person would know there was something wrong.
And the situation just now...Xin Jiancheng also saw it very clearly.
It was the Queen Mother who kept asking them to kill the new recruits that made them rise up in resistance.
Although the new recruits have no practical experience, there are many of them.
The imperial guards couldn't hold back so many people, so they took advantage of the opportunity and rushed to the emperor's side...
Xin Jiancheng still understood these new recruits very well. They were clearly here to serve as soldiers, but they were labeled as traitors.
If they died on the battlefield, their families would receive pensions, but if they died here, their families would have nothing and might even be criticized.
How could they accept this situation?
"Xin Jiancheng!" Zuo Dongrou's voice rose.
Xin Jiancheng clasped his fists and said, "Queen Dowager, Prince Rui came to save Daqi."
Zuo Dongrou stamped her feet anxiously, "What are you trying to save? He killed the emperor, how could he save Daqi?"
"Take the Queen Mother back to Ningshou Palace." Prince Rui was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
There's so much to do right now...
No matter how Zuo Dongrou asked Xin Jiancheng for help, Xin Jiancheng just stood there and let the sisters from Qingyi Tower take Zuo Dongrou away.
"Xiao Jin!"
"Xiao Jin!"
Zuo Dongrou was furious, but it was of no use.
Xiao Jin glanced at Xin Jiancheng and ordered, "Send the emperor back to his bedroom."
The emperor has died, but we cannot leave him outside.
"Go and inform all the officials to enter the palace immediately."
"I will go back to the palace to see how the princess is doing."
Xiao Jin turned to the people in Qingyi Tower and said, "Keep an eye on this place."
The sisters from Qingyi Tower accepted the order and watched Xiao Jin leave.
When Xiao Jin returned to the palace, he saw Xi Lingyue and Concubine Hui pacing back and forth, with Xiao Ping and the others rubbing their hands beside them.
Seeing Xiao Jin coming back, several people looked over.
Xiao Ping stood up and asked, "Ajin, what's the situation?"
He was asking about the situation in the palace.
Xiao Jin glanced at Xi Lingyue and Concubine Hui and said in a calm voice, "The Emperor was stabbed to death by those new soldiers."
"What?!" Xiao Ping's eyes widened in shock, "Then..."
After talking for a long time, nothing happened to him.
"Royal brother, the Queen Mother is distracted by the Emperor's affairs. There is no one in charge in the palace now. I... Chan'er can't leave here, so you go to the palace to stabilize the situation." Xiao Jin said.
What he said was the current actual situation, and Xiao Ping did not doubt it for a moment, "Okay, then I will go to the palace."
Xiao Ping was about to leave when he was stopped by Concubine Hui.
"Ah Jin." Concubine Hui walked up to the two of them and looked Xiao Jin over. "The palace affairs...are they not urgent right now?"
"Aren't Chan'er's sisters all in the palace?"
"Let's wait until Chan'er gives birth."
Xiao Jin knew that Concubine Hui had guessed his thoughts, "Concubine Hui, Prince Cheng is older than me..."
"But your royal brother doesn't mean that." Concubine Hui knew her son very well.
After hearing what Concubine Hui said, Xiao Ping understood Xiao Jin's plan, "Ah Jin, you..."
He hastened to make his position clear, "Ajin, I have no intention of taking the throne."
"I just want to live a peaceful and stable life in my fiefdom with my mother, Qingxin, and Wan'er."
"Qingxin and I only have Wan'er as our child, and we don't plan to have any more children."
"Even if I ascend the throne, there will be no one to inherit it in the future."
"It's better for you, Jin..."
Xiao Jin also refused, "Royal brother, I don't want to either."
Looking into the house, Ling Chan's voice was very low, but one could tell she was feeling uneasy. "I just want to live a peaceful life with Chan'er."
Xiao Ping frowned in embarrassment. Now he and Xiao Jin were the only children left of his father.
If neither of them is willing to take on the responsibility...
Xiao Ping sighed, "Ajin, don't act on impulse."
"I have lived far away in my fiefdom for many years, and I don't understand state affairs as well as you do."
"You and the Marquis of Zhenbei have done so much for Daqi in the past few years. No matter what, it is you who should take on this important task."
Ling Chan in the room heard their conversation, but could do nothing.
Her contractions became more frequent, and both Gong Zi and the midwife said that she would give birth soon.
"OP, please be patient..." Gong Zi kept comforting her.
The midwife had been checking Ling Chan's cervix when she suddenly exclaimed, "I can see the baby's head."
"Princess, listen to me. If I tell you to use force, then use force..."
“Push harder…”
"Okay, okay, take a break."
“Push harder…”
Ling Chan is in good health. Thanks to the nourishment of the water from the Lingchi Pond, she is healthy and excellent in all aspects.
The child was in good condition, so after Ling Chan exerted force a few times, the child slid out very smoothly.
The midwife skillfully picked up the baby and slapped the baby's feet, making the baby cry out.
"Wow...."
Outside the house, Xiao Jin's expression relaxed and he ran to the door.
He knew Gong Zi was inside, "Gong Zi, is Chan'er okay?"
Gong Zi replied from inside, "Don't worry, Your Highness, the host is fine."
Ling Chan was indeed fine. After the child slipped out, she was just tired.
The midwife quickly cleaned the child, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and placed him next to Ling Chan. "Congratulations, Princess. It's a little prince."
Ling Chan turned her head to look at the child, an indescribable feeling rising in her heart, her eyes softened involuntarily, filled with love and expectation.
Her eyes fell on the little face. Although the baby's skin was a little wrinkled, it was very soft and looked very fragile.
Ling Chan reached out and gently stroked the child's face, feeling his warmth.
At this time, the child's eyes slowly opened, very bright.
At this time, the child cannot see people clearly.
Ling Chan moved closer to the child, feeling his breath...
This is her and Ajin's child, she is his mother...
She wants to provide him with the best maternal love, accompany him as he grows up, teach him knowledge and morals, and help him grow into a kind and brave person.
The midwife opened the door and stepped aside to let Xiao Jin in. She still reminded him worriedly, "My Lord, the princess cannot be exposed to the wind right now. You must be careful when you go in and out."
Xiao Jin squeezed in sideways, hummed, and came to Ling Chan impatiently.
"Chan'er, thank you for your hard work." He grabbed Ling Chan's hand, feeling mixed emotions.
Ling Chan was still thinking about what she had just heard, "How could the emperor die?"
