Chapter 71 Fire

The gifts from the first few waves of people were naturally very luxurious, Gu Heng glanced at Shao Yao, Shao Yao had a rather perplexed face, but he still took out the things that were put in the box.

Inside is a hardcover storybook, and the illustrations inside are drawn by an artist, which cost Gu Heng a full 100 taels of silver.

Gu Heng walked up to the concubine respectfully and saluted the concubine.

She said: "Minnv knows that the concubine likes to read some miscellaneous books and scripts. This is a script that the concubine got by chance. It is very interesting, so she boldly dedicated it to the concubine. The concubine is so honorable, so she must have no shortage of it." What kind of gold and silver treasures, if you can make the concubine laugh after watching it, it will be the greatest good luck for a girl."

After Gu Heng finished speaking, the concubine just smiled slightly. She opened the scripture book, only read one page before laughing, and closed the page.

Even the emperor is curious about what is in Gu Heng's words.

The concubine said, "She's a girl who knows how to flatter. Thank you."

Gu Heng took the reward and returned to his position. Xu Shi had just shown the limelight, and the people of Fuguo Gong's family looked at her more and more disliked.

Afterwards, Wang Shiru stood up, and what she presented was Tianshan snow lotus, which was very in line with her temperament. The concubine only praised a few words, and Wang Shiru went back.

She deliberately walked to Gu Heng's side, and then said to Gu Heng: "Miss Gu seems to be very good at telling stories. If there is a chance, could Miss Gu listen to me tell a story."

Gu Heng was a little puzzled, she asked, "Story?"

Wang Shiru replied in a low voice: "It's definitely a good story."

Gu Heng wanted to ask again, but Wang Shiru had already returned to his place.

After the royal relatives and officials finished presenting the gifts, it was naturally the turn of the foreign envoys. Gu Heng looked at Duan Wang who was sitting beside him.

Gu Heng was so anxious that his palms were sweating.

Seeing that the envoy Jung was about to go out, there was a loud noise outside, and a eunuch ran in and shouted loudly: "The side hall is on fire, your majesty, empress dowager, hurry up and find a safe place Set it up!"

As soon as these words came out, the main hall was in a mess, Gu Heng hurried out, only to see a raging fire in the side hall not far away, and it was about to burn to this place.

A group of dignitaries and dignitaries also ran out in a hurry, ignoring other things.

Gu Heng hurried in and pulled his mother, Chen yelled: "Your sister and your brother are still inside."

Gu Heng panicked again, but in the blink of an eye, he saw Concubine Rong surrounded by the imperial guards.

Gu Heng hurriedly said: "Mother, my sister is a noble concubine, so let's just worry about myself."

Gu Heng dragged Chen Shi to run outside.

Xiyuan was originally built on the water, so the road surface is extremely narrow, so many people squeezed outside together, it is naturally very crowded.

Fortunately, a boat came to meet him in the distance.

Naturally, the emperor brought the empress dowager and concubines up first, and Gu Heng was dragged up because of his own sister's honor.

The other guests left through the corridor.

Gu Heng saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and felt that his eyelids were jumping. She only said to let the fire be set on fire, but she didn't say to let the palace be burned down. What should she do if she was made to lose money in the end?

Duan Wang saw that Gu Heng's face was ashen, and he didn't know if it was intentional, so he said, "Ah Heng, why do you look so bad, are you scared?"

Gu Heng swallowed, and the smile on Duan Wang's face was rather beating.

I don't know where the hapless master Shisan went. He asked him to set fire, but he didn't say that he would set such a big fire. Looking at the fire, I'm afraid it will burn the whole Xiyuan...

The female relatives on the boat were more or less surprised. Mrs. Chen also held her chest and said helplessly: "You said that you were born with a bad star, and you have encountered all kinds of bad things."

Gu Heng really couldn't say a word at the moment.

Perhaps God felt that today was not lively enough. The startled Concubine Wang suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She clutched her stomach and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine's stomach hurts..."

The emperor hurriedly helped Concubine Wang, and he said anxiously: "Hurry up and pass on the imperial physician."

The personal eunuch next to the emperor said: "Report to Your Majesty, the imperial physician did not board the ship..."

The queen mother hurriedly said sharply: "Why are you standing there, send someone down to look for it!!"

This Concubine Wang is not yet full-term, so naturally no one would have thought that she would give birth today, and there is not even a doctor on board, but Concubine Wang is screaming like she is about to give birth.

Gu Heng only felt her scalp go numb, she looked at her mother, Chen Shi just swallowed her saliva, and she looked into the distance uncomfortably.

Concubine Wang was placed in a wing room in the cabin, and Gu Heng felt his scalp go numb when he heard Concubine Wang's screams.

She didn't know that a woman giving birth could be so scary.

Only a moment later, the maid next to Concubine Wang ran out, Gu Heng saw that her hands were covered with blood, and immediately took a step back in fright.

She was the one who set the fire on fire. If Concubine Wang Guifei and the fetus in her stomach died, then...

The court lady knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor, she cried and said: "The emperor begs you to save the empress, the empress is dying of pain."

Although Wang Guifei is a concubine, she has a loud voice, and her screams can be heard throughout the ship.

The emperor is also very anxious, but at the moment the whole Xiyuan is in chaos, where can I find a doctor for her.

The emperor said to the surrounding guards and eunuchs: "Go down and find the imperial doctor, if you can't find it, come see me with your head up."

The emperor wanted to go in to see the noble concubine, but was stopped by the queen mother and the concubine.

The queen mother said: "The emperor cannot enter the delivery room, this is a big taboo!"

When the emperor was in a dilemma, he only heard Concubine Rong who had been silent all this time say: "Your Majesty, the concubine's mother knows a little bit about women's childbirth, can you..."

When Wang Guifei's mother, Lin Shi, heard this, she immediately shouted: "No! Who knows what your mother and daughter are thinking about, if you take this opportunity to harm the noble concubine, what should you do?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen became angry immediately, she put her hips on her hips and stared at Mrs. Lin.

"I, Chen Erniang, have been delivering babies for 20 years. Not to mention that every one of them was born safely, I have no regrets. If it weren't for the kindness of my daughter, I would not be willing to deliver your daughter!"

At this time, two people can also quarrel.

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "Since Concubine Rong's mother has such a unique skill, then hurry up and enter the delivery room, the most important thing is to save lives."

Chen shi walked in reluctantly.

Gu Heng looked at his elder sister Gu Rong. Today she looked at her elder sister with admiration. Gu Heng whispered in Gu Rong's ear: "Sister, if the royal concubine gives birth to a prince..."

Gu Rong smiled.

She said: "Ah Heng, if the victory is not martial, it will be meaningless."
