Chapter 825 Two Pieces of Clothing
"ah--!"
Upon seeing the terrible state of Shang Ruyi's feet, Yuwen Ye immediately bent down and picked her up in his arms. He turned to walk away, but as soon as he moved, Shang Ruyi let out a painful, yet suppressed, cry. Yuwen Ye's heart ached, and he immediately stopped. When he spoke, he deliberately suppressed his voice, as if afraid that his presence would disturb her.
He asked, "What, are you—"
Before she could finish speaking, Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip hard, almost until it bled, and the dress beneath her was already faintly tinged with red!
Yuwen Ye's eyes turned red. He immediately turned around and shouted at Yuwen Qian, who stood motionless in the darkness, as if stunned or as if he were too stiff to move, "Where's the bed? Where's your bed?"
The stiff outline trembled slightly, and finally raised its hand, pointing to the back of the hall: "Inside."
Yuwen Ye, carrying Shang Ruyi, strode quickly to him. His movements were so swift that they even created a gust of wind that not only carried the stench of blood but also seemed to be sharp as swords. He stood before him in a few steps, staring into his eyes: "Take me there! Take me there now!"
The lantern in Shang Ruyi's hand had fallen to the ground along with the wine cup when the pain struck. It was picked up by Tu She'er, who rushed forward. The lantern flickered, and in the dim light, Yuwen Ye still couldn't see the person's eyes and expression, but he heard him take a deep breath.
It seemed that only at this moment did Yuwen Qian regain his breath.
He said heavily, "Come with me."
After saying that, he led Yuwen Ye and turned to walk towards his inner palace.
Yuwen Cheng, who had been standing by the table, was still somewhat stunned by Shang Ruyi's sudden turn of events. But as he watched the crowd escort the Prince of Qin and his consort toward the inner hall of Chengqian Palace, and the light disappeared, he finally regained his composure. His fierce yet somewhat bewildered eyes gradually calmed down as the lights went out, but they also became even darker.
Looking at the mess on the ground, he sighed heavily and kicked the wine glass away.
"well!"
On the other side, Yuwen Qian led Yuwen Ye and the others into his inner palace.
Although the main hall of Chengqian Palace had been emptied, he would still stay in the palace tonight to host a banquet for his two brothers. So a bed was left here, but the large bed had no bedding, only a cold bed board and a pillow. The dim light of the lantern could only illuminate the small area beside the bed, not the tall hall, making it look less like a prince's residence and more like a place of asceticism for a cultivator.
But at this point, there was no time to spare, so Yuwen Ye could only grit his teeth and put Shang Ruyi up there.
The moment she touched the cold, hard bed, Shang Ruyi almost cried out in pain again, but she bit her lower lip even harder, and at that moment, a trace of crimson blood could almost be seen blooming at the corner of her mouth. Yuwen Ye's heart was breaking, but he could only suppress the excruciating pain in his heart, helping her slowly lie down while urgently turning to Tu She'er, who was following closely behind, and saying, "Quick, quick, go and fetch Physician Su!"
"Huh? But—"
Tushe'er was a little flustered, probably because she was too nervous, and she bit her tongue when she opened her mouth.
Yuwen Ye frowned, but before he could speak, he heard a weak voice coming from his arms. He quickly looked down and saw Shang Ruyi covered in sweat, panting as she looked at him. Because of the pain, her eyes had become somewhat lifeless, but what she said shocked Yuwen Ye: "I... before I came, I already sent Chang Wan to the Imperial Medical Bureau to invite Physician Su to Chengqian Palace..."
Yuwen Ye took a deep breath.
In other words, before coming here, Shang Ruyi may have already sensed that she was about to give birth. Not only did she make preparations, but she also anticipated that even if she came in person, it wouldn't be so easy to take her husband away. She might very well give birth here. Therefore, she had Chang Wan invite Su Qinglan here, which was a well-prepared decision.
Even in times like these, she is more meticulous and thorough than most people!
Yuwen Ye slowly leaned down, gently stroking her sweaty face with one hand, then lightly smoothing her disheveled hair, looking into her eyes, and after a long silence, he suddenly whispered in her ear, "I told you you weren't smart, how come you're suddenly so smart?"
At this moment, Shang Ruyi was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
Yuwen Ye added, "Save it for our children."
She was already in so much pain she was almost suffocating, but upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi suddenly chuckled, looked up at him, and her previously unfocused eyes regained their sharp light. She looked at Yuwen Ye, and the two smiled at each other. In an instant, the tense and anxious atmosphere softened with that smile.
Standing to the side, Yuwen Qian's tall and slender figure became increasingly stiff.
Just then, the sound of snow falling outside could be heard.
"Physician Su, quickly, please invite him!"
Just as everyone followed Yuwen Ye into the inner hall, apart from Yuwen Cheng, who remained motionless with a gloomy face, Wo Xue was left outside to meet Su Qinglan, who had rushed over. Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ye immediately turned around and saw Su Qinglan carrying a medicine box, followed by two midwives, rushing in anxiously. She didn't even have time to bow to the Crown Prince and the Prince Qi, who had already entered, before going directly to the bedside. When she saw Shang Ruyi's wet dress, her expression became serious.
She immediately said, "We need a mat here, and hot water too, go and prepare them quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Wo Xue immediately turned around and ran out to get hot water. At this moment, Tu She'er, disregarding that this was not their own place, used the candles from the lantern to light up the surrounding candlesticks. The entire hall was instantly brightened, and it was then clear that apart from the bed, there was nothing else here. Where was the cover or mattress?
Tushe'er hurriedly said, "This servant, this servant will go back and get it!"
However, Qianqiu Palace is still some distance away from here, and by the time she retrieves it, the state of this place will be unknown.
Just as Tushe'er turned to leave, she suddenly felt two dark shadows flash before her eyes at the same time, and at the same time, a gust of wind suddenly hit her face.
It turned out to be Yuwen Ye and Yuwen Qian. The two of them took off their robes at the same time. They looked at each other but did not say anything. They simply placed one of the robes under Shang Ruyi and the other covered her body, wrapping her up tightly.
In an instant, two auras, some familiar and some unfamiliar, surrounded her.
