Chapter 808 No, no, no. It’s not my Royal Highness’s... (please subscribe and vote)
At midnight, in the east of Chang'an City, Lord Deng and Bo's family were walking around nervously.
A room was brightly lit, and moans could be heard from time to time. The moans contained unspeakable pain.
He looked at the eldest son Deng Dalang beside him who was so anxious that his eyes were red and he was running away quickly rubbing his hands together.
Master Deng, who was over forty years old, stroked his long beard and comforted in a low voice.
"Dalang, don't be too panicked. Your daughter-in-law will be fine."
Deng Dalang looked in the direction of the room and couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.
"Dad, Jiu Niang has been in there for half an hour...it's been so long and there's still no movement. Is it really okay?"
"Probably, it should be fine." Deng Zhubo said hesitantly.
At this time, the door curtain was opened, and the stable woman came out of the room, with a somewhat uneasy expression on her face and bowed to Master Deng.
"Mr. Deng, the little lady has been in pain for a long time, but only the top of the child's head is exposed and cannot come out."
"I'm afraid that the little lady is weak. If she continues like this, I'm afraid that even the big and small ones won't be able to protect her..."
"Jiuniang..." After hearing this, Deng Dalang couldn't help but change his expression. He wanted to rush into the delivery room, but was stopped by two servants.
Lord Deng Bo couldn't help but panicked. "Well, what should we do?"
Madam Zhao, who was also looking anxious at the side, suddenly thought of something and pulled Master Deng's hand to remind him.
"Sir, do you still remember that the Imperial Medical Office sent someone here to inquire a few days ago?"
"It is said that our daughter-in-law is giving birth. If there is any accident, you can send someone to the east gate of the square to find the officer on duty and let them know. They will send someone over..."
"Oh, don't tell me, I really forgot about this. Quick, housekeeper, go to the east gate of the square to find the watchman and tell him that my daughter-in-law is having a difficult childbirth..."
The housekeeper agreed loudly, lifted up his front and ran outside immediately.
After a while, the guard at the east gate of the square yawned and stood walking around the square gate. The captain of the guard turned his head and looked not far away from time to time.
There was a small wooden hut there that usually allowed night watchmen like them to rest at night, but it was only inside at the moment.
There lay a Xiu Yi who was sleeping soundly. The Xiu Yi who had been squatting here for the past few days made the rest of the guards tremble with fear all day long.
At this time, there were rapid footsteps in the distance. When the captain of the guard turned his head, he saw a lantern with the word "Deng" on it heading this way.
"Who is it?!" the captain of the guard on duty yelled sternly, holding his hand on the horizontal knife beside his waist.
The housekeeper shouted loudly as he ran towards this side.
"My little lady is having a difficult childbirth, and the master asked me to come here to look for her. He said that someone from the Imperial Medical Office had told her before..."
There was a sudden movement in the small wooden house that had been silent at first, and the person in the embroidered clothes who was gentle and polite came out quickly.
"Tell me clearly, which one is it?"
Seeing the figure that suddenly jumped out of the cabin, and seeing the person's clothes clearly, the housekeeper didn't dare to hesitate and answered quickly.
"The villain is Deng Youcai, the housekeeper of Boss Dengbo of the Ministry of Industry."
"I got it, go back, someone will be here soon."
The Xiu Yi nodded, quickly untied the reins tied to the post and got on the horse.
"Quick, open the door!"
In a short time, a galloping horse and the crisp sound of hoofs shattered the silent moonlit night...
#####
Bang bang bang bang A quick knock on the door rang, waking up Cheng Chubi who was having a sweet dream.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master, please wake up quickly. The King of Wu has sent a guard. I have something urgent to find you."
"King Wu?..." Cheng Chubi, who was a little dazed from his sleep, shook his head and stood up. It took him a while to realize that it was the bad prince Li Ke.
Pushing open the door, he saw Li Ke's guard leader Li De standing outside the door, panting, and said angrily.
"What kind of evil is your highness?"
"Cheng Taichang, there is a pregnant woman who is having difficulty giving birth. My Highness has rushed over first and asked me to come over and let you know."
"Difficult labor, pregnant woman?" Cheng Chubi's eyes bulged, and he couldn't help but subconsciously uttered something.
"How come I don't know? Your Highness is too..."
Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of Cheng Chubi and the servants of the Cheng family next to him, Li De felt bad all over.
Why is it that Cheng Sanlang's perspective on things is always so strange?
"No, no, no. It doesn't belong to my Highness... Oh, now is not the time to talk. I would like to ask Mrs. Cheng to come with me quickly."
Cheng Chubi wiped his face and stopped talking nonsense. He returned to the couch and picked up his clothes while putting them on and giving instructions.
"Okay, hurry up and wake up Cheng Liang and Cheng Guang and ask them to prepare tools. I'll be there soon."
After a short meeting, Cheng Chubi led Cheng Guang and Cheng Liang to leave Lu Guogong's mansion and followed Li De on horseback.
And almost at the same moment, a light horse-drawn carriage had already left the palace, with three women sitting inside.
One is the empress' personal advisor, the somewhat uneasy Wu Meiniang, and Li Wen Po.
And Li Ke, a very useful royal tool man, had already galloped into the square where Master Deng Bo was and headed towards Master Deng Bo's mansion.
"Sir, this is terrible, your Majesty, King Wu is here to visit." A servant rolled and crawled towards the backyard of Master Deng Bo's house.
His cry startled everyone in Master Deng and Bo's family.
"You are talking nonsense in front of the master. Where did the King of Wu come from in the middle of the night?"
Seeing the servant running up to him, the housekeeper grabbed the servant and shouted.
"How dare you talk nonsense? It's really His Highness the King of Wu... Look, sir."
Lord Deng looked back and saw Li Ke, the King of Wu who was the most graceful and good at dancing in Chang'an City, walking quickly towards this side surrounded by several guards.
Looking at this King Wu, who is rumored to be very romantic, handsome, and has a face as beautiful as a crown jewel.
An electric spark suddenly flashed across Master Deng's mind, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the delivery room, and then at his eldest son.
But when he saw his eldest son looking at His Highness King Wu who appeared in the palace with a confused and awe-struck expression, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm here to see His Highness the King of Wu..." Master Deng quickly stepped forward and bowed. "I wonder what the purpose of His Highness the King of Wu's presence is?"
"Master Deng Bo, you don't need to be polite. I am here under the entrustment of Cheng Taichang..." Wu Wang Li Ke returned the salute to Master Deng with a smile.
"Cheng Taichang, could it be Cheng Sanlang from Duke Lu's mansion?" Mrs. Zhao next to her couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"Exactly, Cheng Taichang once said before that young pregnant women in Chang'an City who have difficulty giving birth often end up with a narrow escape."
"For this reason, he decided to help one or two, of course, if Lord Deng Bo is not happy with you..."
"Yes, dad, I am willing." Deng Dalang immediately became anxious and shouted loudly.
