Chapter 963 I Want to See Him
The court physician had been waiting nearby. Upon hearing this, he immediately stepped forward and began to examine the ginseng soup on the ground.
It turned out that the ginseng soup was poisonous.
The court doctor said in a trembling voice: "The dose of this poison is not large. Even if an ordinary person eats it, they will not die. At most, they will have diarrhea for two days. But if a pregnant woman who is giving birth eats it, the consequences will be disastrous."
When the maid heard this, she was so frightened that she almost fainted.
She cried and shouted, "I didn't poison you. Even if I had the guts to do that, I wouldn't dare to poison the princess. Please understand, Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine!"
Xiao Xixi could tell from her facial features that this maid was not the one who actually poisoned the person.
If she was really the one doing something, Xiao Xixi would have been able to tell that something was wrong with her in the bedroom just now.
Marquis Dingyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and the knuckles of his hands holding the cane turned slightly white.
"Who on earth is it? How dare they harm my daughter and grandson?!"
Luo Qinghan ordered his men to take the maid away for interrogation, and the person in the kitchen who was responsible for making the ginseng soup was also arrested.
Luo Qinghan will take care of these matters, so Xiao Xixi doesn't need to worry about them.
She said to the housekeeper, "Go get some ginseng slices."
“Here!”
This time, the butler did not dare to let anyone else go to get it, for fear of another accident. He personally rushed to the warehouse where the medicinal materials were stored.
Soon the butler came back panting.
He handed the cut ginseng slices to the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi put the ginseng slices into Bu Shengyan's mouth and asked her to chew and swallow them.
The texture of ginseng slices is really not that good when chewed.
But at this time, Bu Shengyan could no longer tell the difference between good and bad taste.
She just chewed and swallowed mechanically.
Xiao Xixi used a silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.
Bu Shengyan opened her red eyes, looked straight at her, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty... haven't you come back yet?"
Xiao Xixi calculated in her mind and said hurriedly, "It's almost time, he will be back soon!"
Bu Shengyan choked up and said, "I want to see him."
Xiao Xixi: "Believe me, you will see him soon."
A new round of severe pain came, and Bu Shengyan could no longer care about anything else and screamed in pain again.
The midwives shouted, "Take a deep breath! Push harder! Push a little harder, the baby will be out soon!"
Xiao Xixi quickly pushed the door open and walked out.
She said to Luo Qinghan, "Send someone to wait near the city gate. Once you see the King of England entering the city, tell him to hurry back to the palace."
The tacit understanding developed over the years made Luo Qinghan not even ask a single question, and he immediately arranged it according to what she said.
Dingyuan Hou asked, "Has the King of Ying returned?"
Xiao Xixi: "Soon."
If her calculations were correct, the King of England would be able to enter the city soon.
Dingyuan Hou asked again: "How is Princess Ying now?"
Xiao Xixi didn't know how to describe Princess Ying's situation at the moment and could only spit out two words.
"fine."
After a journey of nearly two months, Luo Yechen and the Thousand Islands delegation finally saw the gate of Shengjing City.
Luo Yechen was filled with anticipation when he thought that he would be able to meet the princess soon.
If he had not been carrying the diplomatic delegation, he would have reached Shengjing in more than a month if he had ridden on horseback himself.
Luo Yechen felt a little unhappy when he thought of the Thousand Islands' delegation. Since entering the territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty, this group of ignorant guys have been making a fuss about everything they see. In order to satisfy their curiosity, their travel speed has been slowed down a lot.
He turned around and looked at the Thousand Islands delegation following behind him.
There were more than one hundred people in the delegation, led by three people.
They are the third princess, the little prince, and the Privy Councilor of the Thousand Islands.
At this time, the third princess was lying on the window of the carriage, leaning out to look out. Facing the tall and majestic gate of Shengjing City, she couldn't help but exclaimed.
She exclaimed in the language of the Thousand Islands: "What a tall city gate!"
The captain of the escort team who was following beside reminded: "Please sit down, Princess. The carriage is still moving. You can easily cause an accident if you do this."
The willful and spoiled third princess refused to listen to any advice and continued to do as she pleased.
In comparison, the little prince seemed much quieter and more well-behaved.
He sat quietly in the carriage, neither moving nor talking.
The Privy Councilor pushed open the car door and asked the King of England who was riding on horseback.
"Your Majesty, have we arrived in Shengjing?"
The Privy Councilor was named Guan Ying, a middle-aged man in his thirties with a big beard. He was tall and strong, with a body full of hard tendons. He looked like a military general, but was actually a civil servant.
At the same time, he was the only one in the entire Thousand Islands delegation who could speak Dasheng Mandarin.
Luo Yechen raised his chin slightly: "Well, after entering this door, it is the capital of our Great Sheng Dynasty."
Guan Ying exclaimed sincerely.
"As soon as you see the majesty of this city gate, you'll know how prosperous Shengjing City is!"
Luo Yechen liked the feeling of being praised the most. He immediately straightened his chest and showed a proud expression.
Guan Ying obviously saw through his character trait, and he flattered him a lot along the way, praising him to the point of making him feel euphoric.
This directly led to Luo Yechen having a very good impression of Guan Ying.
He likes pure and unpretentious flatterers like Guan Ying, who are completely different from those noble literati in the Great Sheng Dynasty!
There was a long line at the city gate, these were people who wanted to enter the city.
As the King of England and the foreign envoy, Luo Yechen naturally did not need to queue up with the common people.
He rode his horse in a swagger to the city gate and greeted the soldiers guarding the gate. Then the soldiers made way to welcome His Majesty the King of England back to the city!
Luo Yechen rode his horse and walked in front.
After being busy at sea for so long, his skin became slightly tanned and turned into a healthy wheat color. He looked more manly than before.
Guan Ying's horse was slightly half a step behind the King of England.
He continued to flatter the King of England as much as he could, praising him as highly as he could.
Luo Yechen didn't feel embarrassed at all and accepted all the flattery.
These two people, one dares to speak and the other dares to listen, get along very harmoniously.
There were already guards waiting near the city gate. As soon as he saw the King of England entering the city, he immediately went to meet him.
"Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to remind you to return to the palace as soon as possible. The Princess is about to give birth!"
The smile on Luo Yechen's face suddenly froze when he heard the last sentence.
His mind went blank in an instant, with only one thought swiping across the screen frantically -
It’s time to give birth! It’s time to give birth! It’s time to give birth!
His princess is about to give birth!!!
Guan Ying was about to say something, but before he could finish his words, he saw the King of England whip his horse hard. The horse felt the pain and immediately raised its hooves, rushing out for a long distance like an arrow.
In just a few moments, he disappeared.
Guan Ying could only look at the guard and said with a smile: "The King of England has gone back to see his queen. Now I can only trouble you to take us to the Honglu Temple."
The imperial guard naturally knew where the Honglu Temple was, and he led the Thousand Islands delegation towards the direction of the Honglu Temple.
