"Where is she going?" Zhong Mingwei asked slowly. At this time, his tone was much calmer than before.
"It is said that after this prayer, she no longer has any worries in her heart and wants to travel around the world," the little monk scratched his head, and then said, "It seems that she wants to go to Shu, first to Mount Emei to see the Buddha's light, and then to worship the Leshan Giant Buddha." The little monk looked up and down at Zhong Mingwei, "Why? Donor, do you know Master Jinghui?"
"Yes, I know her. I've known her since childhood." Zhong Mingwei nodded, and there was a little reluctance in his eyes when he looked at Jinghui, but more of it was relief.
"Then would you like to go and say hello to Master Jinghui?" The little monk was very kind-hearted. "Master Jinghui will be on her way early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid we won't be able to meet again in the future."
"No need." Zhong Mingwei shook his head, then knelt on his knees, kowtowed three times to Jinghui, and then strode away.
…
September 9th of the first year of Tianding
Jingren Palace.
"Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?" Ding Yunwen and Gu Changlin hurried into the hall, and heard Mei Ya's intermittent sobbing coming from the bedroom. For a moment, the two old men were sweating anxiously. Seeing Gu Qingtong coming out, Gu Changlin hurried forward to ask, "Girl, what's wrong?"
"Madam is about to give birth," Gu Qingtong also looked anxious. Since before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Qingtong moved into Jingren Palace to live permanently, so that she could take care of Meiya all the time. Meiya was fine yesterday, but she suddenly had abdominal pain in the second half of the night. Gu Qingtong hurried in to check on her, and immediately panicked. On the one hand, he was busy urging people to invite the midwife, and on the other hand, he ordered people to go out of the palace to pick up Gu Changlin. Seeing Gu Changlin arrive, Gu Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more at ease. He was busy introducing Meiya's situation to Gu Changlin, "Grandpa Gu, Madam is pregnant with twins, so it is more tormenting than ordinary women. It is understandable that she can't wait until the fruits are ripe, but it's almost a month early, which is indeed a bit fast."
"Is everything ready?" Gu Changlin had calmed down by now and asked Gu Qingtong.
"Everything is ready. The midwife is here, and Qin Chong is making a decoction for Madam to induce labor. Once Madam takes the decoction, she will be able to give birth," Gu Qingtong said hurriedly. Seeing Gu Changlin about to go inside, Gu Qingtong hurriedly stopped him and said with some embarrassment, "Grandpa Gu, I'm in the room with Madam right now. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to come in?"
"What's the inconvenience? Aren't they our own children?" Gu Changlin frowned and immediately lifted the curtain and entered the bedroom.
…
Inside the bedroom.
"Girl, bear with it for a while," Zhong Mingwei was sitting cross-legged on the bed, letting Mei Ya rest her head on his legs. His moon-white silk pajamas were soaked with sweat, and his long hair was all messy. He couldn't care less. After all, this was his first time to be a father. As soon as he heard Mei Ya's stomachache and looked at her crying face, he panicked. At this time, how could he still be an unshakable emperor? He looked like a child who couldn't stand the wind and waves. "Girl, bear with it for a while..."
"I can't bear it," Mei Ya winced in pain. She clutched Zhong Mingwei's arm tightly with both hands, tilted her head back and cried at him with a grin, "Zhong Mingwei, why does it hurt so much? It hurts much more... much more than I imagined... wuwuwu..."
"Then, what should we do?" Zhong Mingwei frowned at her and was about to cry. He hugged Mei Ya and lowered his head to kiss her tear-stained face. "Girl, this is the only time. I will never let you suffer this again. I will never have a baby again..."
"So, then you're not going to touch me anymore?" Mei Ya suddenly cried even louder, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, "Zhong Mingwei, you... you've been planning on taking a concubine, right? You finally got the chance! You found an excuse! Right?"
