The severe pain coming from the lower body almost made Baozhu faint, and even Yue Nu was sweating anxiously.
"Grandma Luo, why hasn't our girl given birth for so long?" Yue Nu asked anxiously.
"Girl, if you are not married yet, you don't understand. Giving birth is a long-lasting laborious task for a woman. In our hometown, some women took three days of pain to give birth," said Granny Luo.
Three days? Bao Zhu became a little anxious. If she couldn't give birth to the child earlier, she was afraid that Jiang Heng would be in trouble.
"Grandma Luo," Baozhu squeezed out this sentence through his teeth, "you are an old man of the Jiang family. Since Sister Aheng recommended you to me, she must also trust you very much."
After hearing this, Granny Luo solemnly promised Baozhu: "Concubine Chen, please rest assured, I will definitely let you give birth safely."
Another burst of severe pain hit, and Baozhu groaned in pain, panted for a moment and took advantage of the gap to say: "Not only do you want to be safe, but you also want to be fast!"
Baozhu clenched the corners of the quilt tightly, feeling dizzy from the pain.
"Girl, hold on." Yue Nu brought tea and moistened Baozhu's dry lips.
Qi Junce stood in front of the portraits of the Qi family, and his uneasiness had already turned into cold sweat on his palms. From time to time, I would ask Ma Dong if there was any news from Hengwu Palace and Weiyang Palace.
Seeing that the night was already past midnight, Ma Dong couldn't help but persuade: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you'd better make arrangements first. As soon as there is news, I will tell you immediately."
But Qi Junce had unexplainable worries on his brows and waved his hand to reject Ma Dong's request.
"I don't know why, but I'm very worried." Qi Junce said hoarsely, then he seemed to remember something, turned around and asked, "Where is Concubine Jing?"
"Um," I guess I didn't expect that Qi Jun's policy suddenly changed so quickly, and he stuttered for a moment, "Concubine Jing was kneeling outside the palace, saying..."
Ma Dong's hesitation made Qi Junce a little impatient. "What did you say?" Qi Junce asked.
Ma Dong lowered his head and whispered: "Concubine Jing said that she is innocent, and Concubine Chen deliberately framed her."
Qi Junce's forehead had veins popping out, he waved his sleeves fiercely and roared: "Tell her to get in!"
Concubine Jing's shadow was stretched out under the moonlight, entangled with the indifferent and unmoving shadow on the ground like Qi Junce.
Gu Linqing stared blankly, but suddenly laughed out loud for some reason. She thought absurdly in her mind that this might be the last time they would be intimate in this life.
"Do you still have the heart to laugh?" Qi Junce's angry shout shattered Gu Linqing's last delusion. Ma Dong wisely closed the door. In the huge hall, stood the couple who had been the most intimate.
Gu Linqing knelt down, but still straightened her back, her eyes full of sorrow and said: "I didn't do it, I really didn't do it."
Qi Junce's face was hidden in the darkness. Even though Gu Linqing held her head high, she could only see his chin.
"What about Yinwei?" Qi Junce suddenly changed the topic.
A trace of panic flashed in Gu Linqing's eyes, but she still held on and continued to straighten her spine and said: "Yes, I used witchcraft to frame her."
Qi Junce took a step forward, and the handsome and handsome face emerged from the darkness. The shadow of the candlelight flickered on his face, just like his expression.
"Did you also have your hand in the matter of Imperial Concubine Shujia?" Qi Junce continued to ask.
Gu Linqing's face froze, and then turned into a sneer.
"Hahaha..." Gu Linqing held her head high and said with a smile: "It turns out that Your Majesty knows everything. It was just that my Gu family had made great contributions to the new dynasty at that time, so I turned a blind eye."
Qi Junce pursed his lips and looked at the slightly crazy Gu Linqing in front of him.
"Your Majesty, you are actually the person I should hate the most." Gu Linqing smiled, but tears rolled down her cheeks, and she looked very embarrassed.
Qi Junce narrowed his eyes and said with anger, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know!" Gu Linqing changed from her usual meek demeanor and responded to Qi Junce so fiercely for the first time.
"Since you had no choice but to appoint me as your queen for the sake of the Gu family, you shouldn't have been so doting on Shen Yinwei!" Gu Linqing roared, completely lacking the dignity of the past.
"As for me, I want to watch my husband pamper other women." Gu Linqing shed more and more tears, and she brushed them away nonchalantly.
"But your love is really like the stars in the sky. So what if you and Shen Yinwei were deeply in love when they were young? You are not one of those who have made concubines, concubines, and noble people one after another, Qi Junce, you really make me sick!" Gu Linqing shouted With.
Qi Junce finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed over to strangle Gu Linqing's neck, glaring at her with red eyes.
"Although I am suspicious of you regarding the imperial concubine, I still think that you are my first wife and the queen of Li Kingdom, so I always turn a blind eye to you."
Qi Junce's breath hit Gu Linqing's face, and the suffocation in her neck made her struggle instinctively.
"But you, you don't know how to restrain yourself. You killed your concubines and the emperor's heirs, and you don't repent even after I opened my eyes. You are simply hopeless!" After Qi Junce said this, he threw Gu Linqing away, and she was embarrassed. He lay on the ground and coughed violently.
"Yes..." Gu Linqing laughed ferociously and said intermittently with a cough: "Then should I thank you?"
Qi Junce turned around in disgust, not wanting to look at Gu Linqing anymore.
Gu Linqing stood up straight, looked at the back that once haunted her and said, "I should thank you. When I lost my first son Qi Huan, you and Concubine Rong were celebrating your son's first birthday."
Gu Linqing was so angry that she pressed her hands to the ground, but could only leave a negligible mark on the stone slab.
"I should thank you. When I lost my second child Qi Can, you were organizing the canonization ceremony for Concubine Shu in a glorious manner." Gu Linqing cried.
Qi Junce closed his eyes, feeling as if his heart was being weighed down by a thousand pieces of gold.
"I really should thank you," Gu Linqing cried uncontrollably and beat her heart and said, "When I lost my last child, Qidi, you were enjoying your own happiness in the palace with other women."
Gu Linqing burst into tears, as if her internal organs were about to be torn to pieces.
"I was seventeen when I married you, and that was the best time in my life." Gu Linqing choked up and said, "But every time you are by my side, I feel as far away as across thousands of mountains and rivers."
Gu Linqing wiped away her tears with her sleeves, raised her head and continued: "Later I found out that you and Concubine Rong are truly in love, and I thought that I would just be a virtuous queen. But the women in the palace were in trouble. Come on, let's break up the beauty's friendship before we grow old, so you can forget about me as early as possible."
Qi Junce opened his eyes, with a hint of movement on his face.
"And I lost three sons in a row, and you just gave me a few words of comfort." Gu Linqing said this, her eyes became fierce, and she asked loudly: "Qi Junce, you have no heart at all! "
"So you hate me." Qi Junce asked.
Gu Linqing gave another wry smile, "Yes, I hate you. But I hate you even more for loving you, so I can only vent my resentment on other people. Whoever lets them take away my favor and me The favor of a child.”
The trace of emotion that Qi Junce had just now disappeared. He turned around silently and looked at Gu Linqing, who had lost her composure.
"No matter what, you are the legitimate wife and the legitimate mother. Why are you so cruel?" Qi Junce asked in confusion.
Gu Linqing raised her head, her eyes full of reluctance, "Because this palace has destroyed me, and I will destroy others too."
Qi Junce stared at Gu Linqing, and the sky outside the window began to turn white.
Inside Weiyang Palace.
"It hurts." Baozhu's physical strength had reached its limit and he tried his best.
"Come on, come on, we can see the end!" Granny Luo shouted excitedly.
After Baozhu relaxed slightly, he gritted his teeth and continued to exert force.
"Ah—!" With a scream, Baozhu felt a sudden lightness in his lower body, and everyone began to cheer.
"Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress!" Granny Luo said while cleaning the child carefully.
Baozhu looked at the little pink thing with anger, stretched out his hand and said: "Give me a hug, give me a hug."
Grandma Luo wrapped up the little quilt and immediately hugged her. She said with a smile, "She is a beautiful little princess."
Baozhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Looking at the man with his small mouth still slurping, he felt a little mixed in his heart.
The arrival of her daughter disrupted Baozhu's plan, but it did not dampen her inner joy. She suddenly felt lucky that she was a daughter. Then maybe we won’t have to get involved in these struggles.
But Baozhu immediately thought about it. Now that he was giving birth to a daughter, how should the plan with Jiang Heng proceed?
Before Baozhu could speak, there was another burst of pain. Bao Zhu quickly handed her daughter to Yue Nu, covering her stomach and asked: "Isn't it already given birth? Why is it still in such severe pain?"
After hearing this, Granny Luo immediately wiped her hands and stroked and explored Baozhu's belly. After a while, Granny Luo's face was full of surprise.
"Concubine Chen, you seem to be pregnant with twins." Granny Luo said in astonishment.
Just as Baozhu was about to ask, there was another burst of pain.
"It's too late, I'm afraid the child will suffocate." Grandma Luo immediately became nervous, "Mother, keep pushing!"
With the experience just now, Baozhu will be much more powerful now. After another setback, Baozhu was exhausted, and finally at the last moment, Granny Luo held a meat dumpling and cleaned it.
"Concubine Chen is so lucky," Granny Luo said with a smile, "She is actually a twin of a dragon and a phoenix."
Baozhu looked at the blurry shadow in Granny Luo's arms and waved her hand to reject Granny Luo's move to hand over the child.
"Take the child to Hengwu Palace through the back door immediately." Baozhu said with force.
Yue Nu couldn't bear to ask: "Girl, don't you give the little prince a hug?"
Baozhu turned away, resisted the urge to hug, and said no more words.
Yuenu and Granny Luo looked at each other and had no choice but to do what Baozhu wanted. After the sound of the door closing, Baozhu looked at the direction that had already left and reluctantly shed tears.
"Girl, you..." Yue Nu hugged the little princess and said hesitantly, "Why are you doing this?"
"Yue Nu, only in this way can he be qualified to take away the Qi family. Only in this way can I be cruel." Baozhu choked with sobs.
"Go ahead, you can tell your Majesty." Baozhu said and closed his exhausted eyes.
Inside Wuji Hall.
"Concubine Jing, Mrs. Gu, killed her concubines without repentance. She was demoted to a commoner and given a glass of poisoned wine." Qi Junce finally pronounced Gu Linqing's fate.
Gu Linqing smiled calmly, kowtowed and knelt down: "Thank you Lord for your kindness!"
"Your Majesty!" Ma Dong ran in with a smile from ear to ear, completely ignoring the weird atmosphere.
"It's happening, it's happening. Concubine Shu has given birth to a little prince, and Concubine Chen has given birth to a little princess!" Ma Dong clapped his hands in congratulations.
Qi Junce immediately walked out, leaving Gu Linqing kneeling there blankly.
