At this time, something unexpected happened in Zhuangzi outside Kyoto. The eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Yuying, was about to give birth.
"Ah...ah..." Su Yuying's painful howl was shocking to hear.
"Where's the midwife, has she arrived?" Mrs. Zhang, the wife of General Zhenguo, was leaning on crutches with an anxious look on her face.
"Mom, don't worry, the midwife is inside." Mrs. Liu was worried about her mother-in-law and patted her back slowly, "Don't be anxious, go and rest first, I'm here."
"Yes, mother." Ms. Lin also tried to persuade her, "We are here. You are old and can't endure it like this. Go and rest first."
At this time, Mrs. Li couldn't care less about the old lady. Her eldest daughter was suffering inside, and she was getting angry with worry.
"Don't worry about me, I won't be able to sleep even when I go back." Madam Zhang suddenly remembered the things Su Yue left behind, "Mother Liu, the things Yue'er left for me were the things I put in the box beside the bed. Did you bring it here?"
"Take it, take it, I will take all these important things." Grandma Liu responded immediately.
"Then bring it quickly."
"Yes." Nanny Liu was old and had nimble legs. She came back quickly, opened the box and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, "Old Madam."
Zhang took out two porcelain bottles, which were the spiritual spring water that Su Yue left for her. "Quickly, bring these two bottles of medicinal liquid in. If the eldest girl doesn't have the physical strength, let her drink one bottle."
"yes."
Li looked at the old lady's actions. Although she was confused, she didn't ask. It must be something helpful to her daughter.
Mrs. Zhang looked at another exquisite porcelain vase aside. Yue'er said that this was used when life was in danger, so she hoped not to use it.
As time passed by, the crying in the room continued, making the people listening even more anxious.
Suddenly, "Wow~" a baby's cry came.
Ms. Li cried with joy, "Is this a baby?"
"Yes, yes, I gave birth, I gave birth." Mrs. Lin was a little tired from the hard work, but her face was also full of joy at this moment.
"Mom, look, she's given birth." Mrs. Liu patted the back of Mrs. Zhang's hand.
"Are you giving birth to one child? Aren't you twins?" Ms. Zhang hesitated.
"Yes, yes, there is one more, probably more..."
Soon, there was another cry, the sound was slightly weaker than the previous one, but everyone could still hear it clearly.
Just when everyone was happy, the door was opened, "Old madam, it's not good, the eldest girl has collapsed."
"What?" Mrs. Li almost fainted without being able to stand still. Fortunately, Ms. Lin had quick eyesight and caught her.
"Second sister-in-law, don't worry," then he looked at the little maid who came out, "What did the midwife say?"
The little maid was trembling, "The midwife... the midwife said that the bleeding wouldn't stop no matter what, and said... it might be bad."
"Ying'er~ Ying'er~" Mrs. Li cried loudly.
"Is there nothing the midwife can do? Have you used the method the imperial doctor left to stop the bleeding? Isn't it useless?" Mrs. Zhang was the calmest one at this time. After all, she was the mistress of the Zhenguo General Mansion and had seen all kinds of scenes.
"I tried it, but it still couldn't stop the bleeding, and the midwife couldn't do anything..."
Ms. Zhang quickly took out the bottle of life-saving medicine and said, "Take it for the big girl and go quickly."
The little girl took the medicine anxiously and immediately entered the delivery room.
Mrs. Liu was a little confused, "Mother?"
Mrs. Zhang patted the back of her hand and said, "That was left behind by Yue'er before she left. She said it was for emergencies."
Mrs. Li also had some hope at this time, staring straight at the door of the delivery room.
About a quarter of an hour later, the door of the delivery room opened again, and the midwife came out. Although she was embarrassed at the moment, her face looked happy, "Old madam, ladies, the bleeding has stopped, and both mother and child are safe. The eldest girl has given birth to a baby. Congratulations to the twins."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Reward!" Zhang's face was filled with joy.
"Yes." Nanny Liu immediately took out a purse from her arms and handed it to the midwife.
Everyone felt relieved at this moment. The happy event was really a great happy event.
The court hall the next day was very lively.
Civil and military officials are discussing how to convict the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and are now divided into two groups. One party is led by Liu Cheng, who vows to convict the Zhenguo General's Mansion. The other side is the opposition, led by Mr. Zhang Ge.
Compared with Zhang Gelao and others who were very calm yesterday, today they seemed to be competing with each other.
"Your Majesty, before the emperor became seriously ill, he only took General Zhenguo into custody and prohibited people from entering and exiting General Zhenguo's Mansion. He did not convict General Zhenguo's Mansion. Therefore, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated. How can it be concluded so easily?" Mr. Zhang Ge Neither humble nor arrogant, describe the facts simply and clearly.
"Mr. Zhang Ge's words are wrong. There are complete witnesses and material evidence on this matter. Is there any objection to the crime? The emperor is now in a coma, and he doesn't know what will happen to him. He can't keep delaying the solution, right? What will happen to the people of the world? See?" Liu Cheng immediately jumped out to retort.
"The witnesses and physical evidence are complete? Not necessarily. I remember that at that time, there was only a letter from the third prince of Northern Xinjiang as evidence, and there was not even a reply from the general of Zhenguo. The physical evidence is not complete, so how can there be any evidence of human testimony?" Taifu Lin Liu Cheng's words were sharp, but Liu Cheng's expression was ugly.
"How come there is no witness? I have found a former soldier of Su Huan. He can prove that Su Huan has been colluding with Beijiang."
"There is no basis for what you say. I only look at the evidence. In addition to the letter written unilaterally by the third prince of Northern Xinjiang to the general of Zhenguo, have you collected any reply from the general?" Faced with Liu Cheng's provocation, Mrs. Lin remained calm. Slow, neither humble nor arrogant response.
"Lin Ze, you don't have to defend Su Huan." Liu Cheng called him by his name angrily.
"I am just seeking truth from facts, so why are there sophistry? Generations of Zhenguo General Mansion have been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and have made great contributions to Daqing. It is impossible to be punished just because of such an unfounded charge..."
"What do you mean by an unfounded charge? The evidence has been presented to the emperor a long time ago. Can't the problem still be explained?"
"Master Hou, presenting the evidence to the emperor is just a procedure. How can we arbitrarily convict people without investigating the matter clearly?" Li Yuan, the minister of Dali Temple, objected. "Besides, the emperor said before he fell seriously ill that he would not make a decision until the truth is found out." Now if we want to convict General Zhen Guo’s Mansion, I’m afraid we have to produce stronger evidence.”
"The third prince of Northern Xinjiang has an autographed letter, how can it be fake?" Liu Cheng blew his beard angrily and stared.
"Hahaha, Lord Marquis, you are also a veteran who has been an official for many years. Northern Xinjiang and I, Daqing, have always been on the same page. General Zhenguo has defeated each other time and time again on the battlefield. If I say that Northern Xinjiang is the one to use this time It makes sense to want Daqing to lose General Zhenguo, a loyal minister and strong general, as a means of alienation."
"You...Li Yuan, you are using strong words to make sense."
"I'm just discussing the matter, and everything is just a reasonable guess."
"fallacy······"
"The Marquis should say something useful. If you really want to convict General Zhen Guo, you should at least provide more favorable evidence instead of just relying on your mouth. This will make people think that the Marquis wants to avenge a personal grudge. "Mr. Zhang Ge said it very rudely and did not save any face for Liu Cheng.
"you······"
"That's enough," Xiao Shen looked at Mr. Zhang Ge and others with gloomy eyes, "It's outrageous to be so noisy in the court."
It seems that it is impossible to convict that old man Su Huan today. Is there any witness? Oh, then get them personal identification cards.
"What Mr. Zhang Ge and others said is reasonable. We cannot directly convict him based on the letters of the three princes of Northern Xinjiang. After all, General Zhenguo is an important minister of Daqing, and this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated."
"Your Majesty!" Liu Cheng was very dissatisfied, why did he need to conduct a thorough investigation?
"The Marquis has any objection to what I said?" Xiao Shen looked at Liu Cheng with an unkind look. If he hadn't been unreliable, how could he be forced to do this today?
"Weichen... don't dare."
