Chapter 589 The time when Concubine Xian gave birth
passed quickly. Ten months passed in the blink of an eye, and the city of Tokyo was still so lively.
Wang Yue's men and horses left in Tokyo, under the arrangement of the Wangwang Team, started human trafficking, mainly dealing in the people kidnapped from Japan, because these slaves originally admired the Central Plains for questioning, and they were particularly obedient after they came, and the business was very good. It was so popular that the money earned actually exceeded that of glass trading.
There is another very popular event in recent times. The Tokyo Cuju League organized by Chi Yanei is in full swing. The shop slogans in each arena are also quite modern. The boss behind the organization of this league is Gu Qianfan, Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang and Zhang. Haohao Chiyanei also made a lot of money, and they all thought of Zhao Paner and Wang Yue who went to Ryukyu.
You know, Wang Yue told Zhao Pan'er about the league's model, and Zhao Pan'er told Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang. Zhang Hao accidentally mentioned the matter when he visited the two girls. Together, they came to find him. Gu Qianfan co-operated in this league.
Every time when several people gathered to count money, they all lamented the ability of Prince Langya. Not only was he an expert in solving cases, but he was also very proficient in doing business. He was more than a hundred times more powerful than Princess Langya. This made Zhao Pan'er's daughter who stayed in Kyoto The friends no longer admire Zhao Pan'er. It turns out that the king of Langya County is hiding his secrets.
Occasionally, Sun Sanniang also laments that the several Cuju venues they have built are not as comfortable as the one in Peach Grove outside Tokyo. Her words also reminded Song Yinzhang of that happy time in Taolin, when Taolin was still owned by his brother-in-law, and there was an elder sister and Gao Hui among them. But Chi Yanei was just sorry. He had never been to the Cuju venue in Taolin Manor. The most recent one was just outside the manor.
Nowadays, no one can go to Taolin even if they ask for help. Ever since Concubine Xian found out she was pregnant a few months ago, she has moved into Taolin outside the city. The emperor was particularly concerned about this child and also moved into Taolin. Now The outside of Taolin was also sealed by a palace wall, turning it into an out-and-out royal courtyard.
The Royal Courtyard was particularly quiet today, and even the guards outside the walls were a bit tighter than before. Not because of anything else, but because the owner of the courtyard, Concubine Xian, was going to give birth today.
You know, the current emperor has a total of six sons, but five have died, leaving only one son and two daughters. The only living son is the adopted son of the queen. It has been a long time since there was a dragon heir in the palace. , many ministers said that his health was no longer good, which made the emperor feel very embarrassed, so he paid special attention to the birth of the concubine.
In order to ensure safety, under the emperor's instruction, a barracks was established outside the city wall on the edge of Taolin, where three thousand soldiers and horses were stationed for a long time. These soldiers and horses were led by highly observant confidants.
At the same time, in the palace of Langya County Prince on Ryukyu Island, which is of course the residence of the Ryukyu pacifier, Gao Hui, the wife of Langya County Prince, was also giving birth. This was the second time that a child was born in Langya County Prince's Palace within a year. Happy event.
The first happy event was of course that Zhao Pan'er gave birth to a pair of twins to Prince Langya two months ago, which also allowed her to establish a firm foothold in the palace and made Wang Yue's parents extremely happy.
At this moment, Zhao Pan'er, who had just completed two months of confinement, was standing outside Gao Hui's delivery room with Wang Yue. Looking at the maids and wives coming and going, she frowned and asked, "Why hasn't Hui'er been born yet?" "Didn't the doctor say that the fetus is very stable?"
Wang Yue glanced at Zhao Pan'er, who had become plumper after giving birth, and felt a little itchy in his heart. After all, he had not touched Zhao Pan'er for a long time after she was pregnant with the child. He was indeed a little greedy for the fairy sister. But Gao Hui was still suffering inside, so he could only calm down and said helplessly, "It's very stable, but it's not good if it's too stable. It's already full term, but the baby in Hui'er's belly seems to be relatively stable." You're lazy, you have no intention of coming out, and you don't know what to wait for!"
Zhao Pan'er gave Wang Yue a slap. How could he say such a thing about his own child? She scolded her coquettishly, "They are already the king of the county, but they are getting more and more... He's out of shape."
Wang Yue didn't dodge even when he was hit. The intensity was just a slap on his back. He said with great enjoyment, "Those who are serious in front of my wife are all fake. Is it possible that those famous people are not serious? My wife, before having sex at night, you have to recite a passage from the Analects?"
Zhao Pan'er also burst into laughter imagining the situation described by Wang Yue, and the maidservant in the yard also quickly lowered her head, fearing that she might accidentally laugh.
The child in Wang Yue's Gao Hui's belly has never been in a hurry, but the child in Concubine Xian's belly is not honest at all, and is making a fuss about coming out before the date of diagnosis by the imperial doctor.
This was also because Concubine Xian was getting older and it was her first time to give birth, so it was naturally a bit laborious to give birth. She stayed up from dusk until late at night, so the emperor who had been waiting all morning couldn't help but go back to sleep first.
Just when everything was completely silent, the guards patrolling along the palace wall outside the Taolin suddenly made a painful muffled sound. The group of sentinels fell to the ground instantly, and soon a group of men in black appeared, dressed in similar clothes. The hat-trick costume that appeared last year is somewhat similar. After this group of people cleaned up the corpses of the guards, they quickly climbed over the palace wall and entered the peach forest.
However, not long after they walked through the Peach Forest Maze, they discovered that the forest was full of people from the Imperial City Division. They were afraid of disturbing others, so they quickly retreated to the city wall. But when they returned to the base of the wall, a group of sentries happened to patrol here, and they immediately blew the brass whistle. The assassins were captured without much resistance at all.
The patrolling soldiers all knew that the Concubine Xian was giving birth deep in the peach forest. They were afraid of disturbing the nobles in the peach forest, so they quickly pressed the assassin towards the barracks outside the peach forest. However, before they reached the camp, halfway through the peach forest, he stabbed diagonally. Countless men in black were killed, and within a short time, all the patrolling troops were dead there.
When the people in the patrol camp heard the noise, they rushed out vigilantly. However, before they left the camp, they were blocked by countless men in black. A burst of crossbow arrows were shot out. The soldiers who rushed out fell to the ground. In just half a quarter of an hour, all three thousand imperial troops in the camp outside the Royal Courtyard were completely destroyed.
However, the shouts of killing here also alerted the imperial city officials in the peach forest. After Gu Qianfan got the news, he quickly entered the manor to talk to Cui Cui and woke up the sleeping emperor.
When the emperor was woken up in the middle of the night, he asked with a sullen face, "What happened? Aren't you guarding the peach grove in the peach forest?"
Cui Shihui bowed tremblingly and said, "Commander Gu just said I came to report that just after midnight, someone attacked the patrol camp. The soldiers in the patrol camp were fighting fiercely with the thieves, and I don’t know the outcome."
As soon as Cui Cui's words fell, Gu Qianfan couldn't wait any longer and rushed in. He said excitedly, "Your Majesty, there are so many thieves. The patrol camp was unprepared and the losses were huge. Now the killing has stopped." People came to report that none of the Imperial City troops I sent out have returned. They were probably all killed." The
emperor fell down on his chair in a panic. He was shaking all over and said with some fear, "Three thousand troops, just... Disappeared like this silently?"
Gu Qianfan frowned when he saw the emperor's reaction. He looked at the emperor and said solemnly, "I don't know, but I asked your majesty to change clothes. Our Imperial City Secretary will fight to the death to kill your majesty. Send him back to the palace."
The emperor twitched the corner of his mouth. He was not stupid. He knew that the other party dared to show off the rebellion of the carriage and horse, so how could he let people escape. He was timid and fearful and said quickly, "No, that would be too dangerous, love. You'd better take people out to find Gao Observer and let him lead troops to rescue."
Gu Qianfan frowned and looked at the emperor, a little speechless. The three thousand soldiers of the patrol battalion did not resist for half an hour. Only the hundreds of soldiers in the peach forest How long can the troops of Yuhuang City hold on?
Just by looking at the emperor's expression, Gu Qianfan knew that the emperor had made up his mind not to leave. He suddenly realized what Wang Yue said about the frustration of lack of courage and strategy, and reluctantly walked out of the manor. Is he loyal to the emperor or patriotic? Instead of thinking about escaping for his own life, he ordered Chen Lian to take the troops from the Imperial City Division to protect the emperor. He only took a dozen people to prepare to kill him.
Chen Lian saw that Gu Qianfan was determined to die and just wanted to give it a try. Everyone knew that there was little hope, but he also knew that he could not comfort him and could only watch Gu Qianfan die.
Sure enough, just as Chen Lian thought, Gu Qianfan's group braved crossbow fire and kept waving their weapons. They only rushed out a hundred meters away. Only two people around Gu Qianfan died. If it weren't for his subordinates, Loyal to protect the Lord, he was not the main target of the crossbow, and Gu Qianfan was already dead.
However, even so, after the three people lost their horses, they ran out not far and fell to the ground. It was probably the halo of the male protagonist, or perhaps Xiao Qinyan's order. Gu Qianfan saw that It looked miserable, but there were no fatal injuries.
Just when Gu Qianfan was about to fall into coma, he vaguely heard the voice of his father Xiao Qinyan, "Take him back and treat him well. If he dies, I will let you bury him with him." When Gu Qianfan heard this, he knew that this was the case
. This incident was premeditated by Hou Dang for a long time. Not only was he not moved, but his whole body was cold. What did this mean? Was this Hou Dang's rebellion?
As his biological father, Xiao Qinyan did not notify Gu Qianfan to take a temporary retreat. This made Gu Qianfan feel so depressed that he did not even take a breath. He soon fell into darkness and passed out.
The panicked emperor in the royal courtyard was still walking around in Taolin's manor, and the maids in the palace were also trembling with fear. Only Chen Lian and the troops from the Imperial City Department were guarding the dense forest outside the courtyard gate, waiting to arrest the thieves. Counterattack at the right time.
Concubine Xian, who was giving birth, was also alarmed by the emperor's noise outside the door. After hearing the report from her maid, her heart became cold.
You know, the inspection camp outside is composed of 3,000 elites led by Gao Observation's cronies. They are afraid that something might happen when she gives birth. She didn't expect to be wiped out so quickly. This makes her a little desperate. How much will the other party have? Centaur?
Concubine Xian knew that the target of the other party was not the emperor, but actually herself and the child in her belly. As for the emperor, at best, he would be under house arrest, and the probability of death was very small. Looking at her bulging belly, she couldn't help but feel sad. Could it be that he wanted to Escape through a secret passage? In that case, not only would Wang Yue be exposed, but the identity of the biological father of the child in her belly would also be suspected.
Just when he was desperate, Concubine Xian saw a jade pendant hanging on her chest. He suddenly remembered what Wang Yue said to her in a private meeting before leaving, "If a large number of thieves besiege Taoyuan and you don't have time to escape, Just throw this jade Buddha into the deep well of the main courtyard. If you are sincere, it will definitely protect your safety."
Concubine Xian was so blessed that she remembered Gao Hui's words about Wang Yue who seemed to be able to tell fortunes, and also recalled Wang Yue's skill of asking people's hearts. Comparing this sentence again, this sentence seemed to be the last life-saving straw, making her feel that as long as she believed in Wang Yue's words, she would definitely have a way out.
Concubine Xian quickly asked the maid to call the chamberlain and asked the maid to carry her to the courtyard. She had to give it a try. She believed that Wang Yue would not lie to her.
Of course Xian Fei's personal maid refused. You must know that she is still giving birth. What if something unexpected happens after she is sent out? They were all going to die, but the two female secret guards Wang Yue gave to Concubine Xian didn't care. They obeyed Concubine Xian's order and carried Concubine Xian to the courtyard.
The emperor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and couldn't think of any solution. Unexpectedly, Concubine Xian asked someone to carry him out of the delivery room to cause trouble. He angrily shouted without thinking, "The thief is outside, you come here to cause trouble." What's the chaos?"
Concubine Xian glanced helplessly at the cowardly emperor. She became more and more disappointed and missed Wang Yue even more. After all, the emperor couldn't see that he would not die. This was too stupid. She He closed his eyes, considered his words, and said in a deep voice this time, "I heard that if the royal family prays to God with sincerity, disaster will be turned into good luck, so I came here to pray with your majesty." The emperor's eyes lit up, and he also seemed to be
like Grasping the life-saving straw, he excitedly grabbed Concubine Xian's arm and asked as if praying, "Is this true?"
Concubine Xian twitched the corner of her mouth, knowing that the emperor who believed in Taoism would believe this, She nodded with difficulty, but said in a very critical tone, "It must be true!"
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she was also afraid that Wang Yue's method would not work. For the sake of the Gao family, she added, "It is better than waiting to die." Strong!"
This sentence instantly broke the emperor's heart. Yes, you have to try, you can't wait to die. He no longer hesitated and asked excitedly, "Okay, where can we go to request? There is nothing here. Portraits of the Three Pure Ones."
Concubine Xian pointed to the deep well in the courtyard and said weakly, "Pray to this deep well, I think the Dragon King in the water will help us convey it." The emperor woke up from a dream and quickly turned to face the courtyard
. He knelt down in the deep well. At this time, Concubine Xian, with the support of two female secret guards, staggered to the edge of the well, and the jade Buddha in her hand fell into the well silently.
When the emperor saw that Concubine Xian was coming to pay her respects, he was moved and grabbed Concubine Xian's arm and said with a cry, "My dear concubine, if I can escape from danger, I will definitely live up to you!"
Concubine Xian looked at the sincere emperor and sighed. She didn't know whether the emperor's words would count in front of the queen, but she didn't want to care about it anymore, so she said with a smile, "Your Majesty is good enough to me! Concubine." Of course I am willing to accompany His Majesty through life and death."
The emperor nodded and was about to say something when he heard the sound of fighting in the distance that seemed to be closer, so he quickly said, "My beloved concubine, let's pray quickly! "
The Concubine Xian almost suffered from internal injuries. This emperor is still the same timid emperor, hey!
Concubine Xian put down her last trace of attachment to the emperor and kowtowed respectfully to Shenjing. She looked very sincere and cursed secretly in her heart, "Wang Yue, you murderer with a thousand swords, if you dare to lie to me, I won't let you go if you become a ghost in the next life!"
At the same time, the emperor also kowtowed. He was more sincere than the concubine. At least, the emperor was really praying to heaven and to the Dragon King in the capital at this moment.
At this moment, a dragon roar seemed to be heard coming from the well, and Taoyuan seemed to change instantly. The sound of fighting not far away gradually disappeared, as if it did not exist.
When the emperor heard the sound of the killing gradually getting quieter, he was naturally overjoyed. He thought that the gods had appeared. He said excitedly, "My dear concubine, you are really spiritual. The killing is gradually going away." Concubine Xian was about to answer
, My stomach hurt, my crotch felt hot, and I felt something slipping out. At the same time, a loud cry of a child, accompanied by the dragon's roar, spread throughout the peach forest.
When Chen Lian heard the roar of the dragon, he was also shocked. Could it be that Wang Yue's peach forest has some kind of guardian beast? The ensuing baby's cry also brought him back to reality. It seemed that Concubine Xian had given birth and could move.
But as soon as Chen Liang summoned his men, he found that Taolin had changed. It was foggy everywhere, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he could not see his fingers with his hand. However, the fog near the manor was much lighter.
