Chapter 730 Repaying the favor to the Crown Prince
His Royal Highness the King of Chu's honor guard and his golden chariot were driving on the stone road in Nanjing City.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little cold. This was the first time that Lao Liu had been drinking tea for so long.
After a long time, Zhang Xunzhen finally broke the silence. "There is something I don't know whether I should say more about."
"Say." Lao Liu said in a muffled voice.
"What happened to the Crown Princess this time reminds me of the little tricks used by some women to compete for favor in the back houses of wealthy families." Zhang Xunzhen said calmly.
"How do you say it?" Lao Liu was indeed interested and asked with a raised brow.
"The Crown Princess's fetus is too big, and an experienced doctor can tell that. At this time, you should avoid eating, especially sweet foods, but why didn't anyone remind the Crown Princess?" Zhang Xunzhen sneered, "Dear Crown Princess, during pregnancy.
Shouldn’t we be very cautious about our diet?”
"Even though we are a royal family, we are still very lacking in experience in this area..." Zhu Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "I also find it strange. My sister-in-law's birth to Xiongying went smoothly, so why did it happen this time?
So dangerous?"
As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "I also feel that my sister-in-law has been tricked by others. But I'm afraid there is no evidence for this kind of thing."
"Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?" Zhang Xunzhen said softly: "In my family, as long as there is suspicion, it is enough..."
"Indeed." Lao Liu nodded and said, "Then who do you think is the most suspicious?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Zhang Xunzhen sneered: "If the Crown Princess disappears, who will benefit the most?"
"Of course it's the Lu family." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The eldest brother is so young, it is impossible for him to be without a main concubine forever. She, the side concubine, will most likely be the one to straighten her up."
"Right..." Zhang Xunzhen said quietly: "Although I only met her once in the delivery room, I always felt that something was wrong with her."
"What's wrong?" Lao Liu's pupils shrank and he stared at Zhang Xunzhen.
"I can't tell, it's just based on intuition, but my intuition is always very accurate." Zhang Xunzhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you want to eat people? You're staring at people like this."
As he spoke, he covered his mouth and chuckled, "Is it because I missed one more glance?"
"No, I didn't." Lao Liu said angrily: "We are talking about business, don't interrupt."
"I'm done talking about my business," Zhang Xunzhen smiled sweetly at him, then remembered something and said, "By the way, there's one more thing - the fertility charms hanging in the delivery room are all wrong."
"How did you know..." Halfway through his words, Lao Liu swallowed his doubts and said, "Okay, you must know."
Do you know why the talisman drawn by Taoist priests is also called the Tianshi Talisman?

At this time, the golden chariot stopped at the entrance of Chunhe Palace.
When Zhu Zhen and Zhang Xunzhen got out of the car, they saw the prince leading Zhu Xiongying to the door to greet them.
"Uncle Six!" Zhu Xiongying jumped into Lao Liu's arms and hugged his neck tightly.
"Be gentle, I'll strangle your uncle Liu to death." Lao Liu rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, making Zhu Xiongying burst into laughter.
"His Royal Highness personally greeted him, which is really a shame." Zhang Xunzhen was generous and considerate in front of the prince.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" The prince said with great respect, "You are the savior of Xiongying's mother, and I must personally welcome you."
Then he said to Zhu Xiongying: "Come down and thank Master Zhang on behalf of your mother and concubine."
"Yes." Zhu Xiongying obediently got off Lao Liu's neck and saluted Zhang Xunzhen respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for saving my mother. Xiongying will never forget it..."
As she spoke, she burst into tears. Such a big child already understood some things and knew that he almost lost his mother.
"You're such a little kid, you can't forget it." Lao Liu stroked his head and comforted his eldest nephew.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be like this." Zhang Xunzhen quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept the gift from the emperor's eldest grandson. "This is what a poor Taoist should do."
As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Besides, His Highness King Chu taught me that, so you should thank your sixth uncle."
"Really, Uncle Liu?" Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at Liu Liu with surprise on his face.
"You can put it this way..." Lao Liu touched his nose in embarrassment, feeling the embarrassment of the male obstetrics and gynecology doctor.
"Uncle Liu is so awesome, he can even be a student!" Zhu Xiongying was so happy that he jumped up and down while hugging Liu's thigh. In his little heart, there was nothing that Uncle Liu wouldn't do.
"Lao Liu just moved his mouth. The real person who really saved his mother's life was the real person." The prince was still grateful to Zhang Xunzhen and said:
"My whole family will always be grateful for your kindness. If you are in trouble in the future, I will definitely help you."
"Your Highness is serious." Zhang Xunzhen hurriedly returned the courtesy with a solemn look. She was not an ignorant girl, and she knew the weight of His Highness's promise very well.
After the two of them had finished being polite, Lao Liu carried the emperor's eldest grandson on his shoulders and asked the prince, "Are my fifth brother and his wife here?"
"I've been here for a long time." The prince smiled and said, "I'm talking to your sister-in-law."
"Oh, sister-in-law recovered very quickly." Lao Liu said with great joy from the bottom of his heart: "Let's go and have a look."
"Master, please come here. Zhuo Jing also said that he would like to thank you personally." The prince politely invited Zhang Xunzhen to come in, and then walked side by side to the harem with Lao Liu.
As the prince walked away, he held Lao Liu's hand tightly and whispered: "Your fifth brother told me that the doctors are desperate for your sister-in-law's situation, otherwise they would not come out to ask for help. Fortunately,
The forceps you invented saved their lives."
"Are we still being polite?" Lao Liu smiled and shook his eldest brother's hand. "It's not against my eldest brother. My eldest sister-in-law is better than my mother. I have no shirk in my duty."
"I'm not polite to you either." The prince wiped the corners of his eyes and scolded with a smile: "What you've learned is too complex. You can even deliver a woman's baby."
"That's true, regardless of who my master is?" Lao Liu's gesture of throwing the blame was so perfect that he even looked a little handsome.
"Back then, my father said that Mr. Liu would even deliver babies to women. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true." The prince shook his head in disbelief. This sincerity is simply an inexhaustible treasure.
"But how did you come up with the idea to prepare this in advance?" The prince expressed the question he had been holding back for several days: "I heard from your fifth brother that you have had people practice for a long time."
Zhang Xunzhen also looked at Lao Liu inquiringly. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"Uh..." Lao Liu calmly moved out and said, "It's a long story. Wasn't it difficult to give birth to Gao Chi when my fourth sister-in-law gave birth to her?"
"Yes, it was extremely dangerous that time, but at least there was no danger." The prince nodded.
"I was very worried that this situation would happen again. After I returned to Beijing, I asked Master if there was any way to solve difficult labor. Master took out this... forceps from his treasure box." Lao Liu first faked and then said:
"Later I saw that my sister-in-law was at risk of dystocia, so just in case, I asked Fairy Zhang to make preparations. I didn't expect that she would actually use it."
The prince suddenly stood still and asked, "Did you know in advance that your sister-in-law might have a difficult childbirth?"
