When Zheng Jiu exited Kunning Palace, Wei Jingxuan had already returned to Yongshou Palace. At this time, Wei Xiuyan had gotten up early and was playing with a black cat. When she saw Wei Jingxuan coming in, she said happily: "Sister, you are back."
"Yes." Wei Jingxuan helped Mao Gui's hand to sit down and said, "When did Yongshou Palace get a cat?"
"After I woke up and had nothing to do, I wanted to go to the Imperial Garden. But on the way, I saw it huddled in the corner. One of its legs was injured and could not walk. I looked pitiful and took it back.
Yes, I bandaged it just now, and it didn't move, it was very well-behaved."
Wei Jingxuan glanced at it and said, "Since it has been bandaged, let's send it away."
Wei Xiuyan heard the words and said quickly: "Sister, I don't want it. It's raining outside, and it can't walk. If you send it out, it will either die of illness or starve to death. Our Yongshou Palace is not short of this morsel of rice and food, so just keep it."
"
Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "Yongshou Palace can afford to keep a cat, but Yongshou Palace also has the rules of Yongshou Palace. Anything of unknown origin is not allowed to appear in Yongshou Palace. No one is allowed to make exceptions."
Wei Xiuyan hugged the black cat tightly and said, "How can it be considered of unknown origin?"
Wei Jingxuan took a step forward, stared at her and said, "Do you know who raised it? Do you know why it lost one of its legs? Do you know why it appeared near Yongshou Palace?"
"I..." Wei Xiuyan was left speechless by her question.
"You don't know anything, so you dare to take it back and completely forget my instructions? This is the harem, not the Wei Mansion. As long as there is a slight mistake here, it will be doomed. I can make it to today, isn't it?
Because otherwise, it’s because I am careful enough; if like you, I saw a cat today and brought it back,
I'll see a dog tomorrow and bring it back. I've already died so many times. How can you and your father live a life without worries about food and clothing?" Wei Jingxuan pressed forward step by step, while Wei Xiuyan retreated step by step until she was forced.
They had to retreat to the corner before stopping. As the two faced each other, they did not notice the increasingly bright eyes of the black cat.
Wei Xiuyan finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, "What if...it dies?"
Before she finished speaking, Wei Jingxuan said coldly: "In your heart, my sister's life is not as important as this cat?"
"That's not what I meant, it's just..." Although Wei Xiuyan was very reluctant to part with it, seeing Wei Jingxuan getting angry, she had to give in and said: "I will just listen to my sister and throw it away. I won't dare to do it anymore."
Wei Jingxuan was afraid that she would throw the cat away, so she quietly raised the cat and said in a cold voice: "Mao Gui, go throw it away!"
"Hey!" Mao Gui bowed his head and agreed, then walked up to Wei Xiuyan and said, "Second Miss, please give the cat to the slave!"
The cat seemed to know that it was about to be abandoned. It kept moving in Wei Xiuyan's arms and called out "meow". The latter hugged it reluctantly and said to Mao Gui: "Please, father-in-law, please take care of it."
Put it in a sheltered place to protect it from wind and rain."
"Second Miss has a kind heart, so I don't have to worry about you." Facing Mao Gui's outstretched hands, Wei Xiuyan reluctantly handed over the black cat. Unexpectedly, as soon as she let go, the black cat, which could not even walk, suddenly appeared.
The arrow that came off the string suddenly rushed towards Mao Gui, who was so frightened that he screamed and stepped back quickly. As a result, he accidentally stepped on the corner of his robe and fell to the ground. Wei Jingxuan was standing not far behind him, Mao Gui
Gui's sudden fall shocked her and she wanted to move away, but her body was heavy and it was difficult for her to move. Qiaoyu couldn't react in time. In the end, Mao Gui hit her leg, causing her to fall down heavily in pain.
On the ground, the black cat jumped on Mao Gui and kept scratching it, looking very excited. Mao Gui slapped it away several times, then limped back to him and refused to leave.
.
Qiaoyu reacted, saw Wei Jingxuan's condition, and hurriedly knelt down to help her. However, Wei Jingxuan's body was so heavy that she couldn't help her up by herself, so she hurriedly said: "Someone, come quickly!"
The palace attendants guarding outside heard the shouting and hurried inside. They worked together to help Wei Jingxuan sit down in a chair, and then helped Mao Gui to catch the cat, which made the cat scream loudly. Suddenly, the palace of Yongshou
A mess.
One of the eunuchs saw the opportunity and kicked the black cat to the ground so hard that it couldn't move. Then he stepped on it a few more times to ensure that it was dead, and then he took it outside and threw it away.
Mao Gui stood up in embarrassment and came to the pale Wei Jingxuan. He said in panic: "This slave deserves to die. I frightened my master. Please punish me!"
"I..." Wei Jingxuan was about to speak when she suddenly felt a warmth in her lower body, as if something was gushing out. She looked down and saw a transparent liquid seeping through her lower body clothes and dripping. At the same time, one after another,
The pain began to sweep through my body from my abdomen.
Qiaoyu also saw the liquid and said in panic: "What...what's going on?"
Wei Jingxuan had given birth to two children, so she was no stranger to this situation, but it was definitely not a good thing for her to have this situation happen now. She clutched the armrest tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Amniotic fluid...my wife's
The amniotic water has broken, call the imperial doctor and Po Wen quickly! Hurry!"
"Slave...Slave, let's go now!" Qiaoyu responded in a panic and hurried out. Because she was too anxious, she accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell.
Mao Gui said hurriedly: "Master, your amniotic fluid has broken. It is not appropriate to continue sitting. The servants will carry you to the house to lie down. The imperial doctor and Po Wen will be here soon. Everything will be fine."
Wei Xiuyan was already stunned. It was only now that she came back to her senses and said in a panic: "What on earth...is going on? Sister, please...don't scare me." After that, she said urgently: "
I really didn’t know that the cat would suddenly go crazy, otherwise I would never have picked it back.”
Wei Jingxuan was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her. If she hadn't brought that cat back, how could such a thing have happened? Now that the amniotic fluid has broken, premature birth is inevitable. I hope everything is okay, otherwise...she killed Wei Xiuyan.
I have my heart!
Mao Gui didn't have time to pay attention to her at the moment. After working with other eunuchs to carry Wei Jingxuan to the palace and lie down, he wiped off the sweat. After ordering someone to boil water immediately, he turned around and saw Wei Xiuyan standing helpless.
There, he sighed and said: "Second Miss, the master was supposed to give birth in early October, but because he was suddenly frightened just now, his amniotic fluid broke, so he will give birth today."
"Giving birth..." Wei Xiuyan murmured and repeated these two words, and it took a while before she realized what she was doing, and said tremblingly: "In other words... my sister is going to give birth?"
Mao Gui said in a deep voice: "Yes, the fetus in the master's belly is not yet nine months old. I don't know what will happen if I give birth now. I hope everything will be safe." As he said, he said somewhat reproachfully: "I'm sorry.
The slave said bluntly that the second young lady really shouldn’t have brought that cat back. If anything happened to the master, the second young lady would regret it for the rest of her life.”
