Chapter 594 Your Highness Better Prepare Earlier!
The two young ladies overheard this, and they were grateful for the reward from the princess, and more because they felt that it was not easy for the princess.

It's really admirable that the princess can remain so calm after such a big incident happened in the palace.

Not long after, the imperial physician from the palace arrived and was shocked when he saw the strangle marks on Zhu Gui's neck.

"Your Highness, you..."

Xu Miaoqing quickly took over the conversation.

"Doctor Wang, please keep this matter a secret for the prince!"

Physician Wang hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Wei Chen understands!"

"Weichen will definitely keep his mouth shut and will not tell anyone. It's just why the prince is so overwhelmed by this..."

"Forgive me for talking too much..."

Physician Wang stopped talking nonsense, took out silver needles to dredge Zhu Gui's meridians, and prescribed several calming decoctions for him, and then stepped aside.

"Princess, Your Highness is fine, just need to take good care of her."

"There is an imperial doctor Lao Wang!"

"Come here, seal 1000 taels of silver for Imperial Physician Wang!"

"Don't dare..."

Physician Wang just wanted to say a few words of modesty, but suddenly thought of the scene in front of him, and realized that this was not just a reward, but also quickly changed his words to thank him for the hush money.

"My minister thanks the princess for the reward!"

Not long after Wang Taiyi left, the eunuch came over with the food that he had just prepared.

Xu Miaoqing took the medicine bowl and fed it to Zhu Gui little by little.However, Zhu Gui just stared blankly at the ceiling, without any intention of opening his mouth.

"My lord!"

"How long are you going to make trouble!"

"I……"

Xu Miaoqing didn't give Zhu Gui a chance to speak at all, and vented his anger cracklingly.

"My concubine insisted on opposing this marriage back then because she disliked you for being stubborn and ignorant. I didn't expect that after so many years, you are still so irresponsible. When encountering things, you can only think of dying, and you don't care about our mothers. Beep..."

When Zhu Gui heard this, his eyeballs almost bulged out of anger. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of hurting his beloved.

"you……"

"I did this... also to protect you and the baby... Once I die, Zhu Yunxi can't...cough cough..."

Zhu Gui's trachea was damaged, and he felt uncomfortable after just saying a few words.

"Don't talk about it, my lord, I understand..."

"Come on, drink the medicine..."

"Do not……"

"Drink the medicine!"

Zhu Gui wanted to persist a little longer, but seeing his daughter-in-law's face was ashen, she could only open her mouth tactfully.

Xu Miaoqing didn't get used to him either, after forcibly feeding him a bowl of medicine, she told the little eunuchs to keep an eye on him before going to work on other things.

The next day, Xu Miaoqing took Zhu Gui and a pair of children and set foot on the train to the capital together.

According to the prince's ostentation, Zhu Gui is qualified to take the special train.But Xu Miaoqing went to Beijing with her husband to plead guilty this time, so naturally she wanted to keep a low profile, so she only booked two carriages and set off with dozens of guards.

Before Zhu Gui arrived in the capital, Zhu Yunxi learned from the hidden front that this guy had hanged himself.

Zhu Yunxi was also taken aback when he heard about this, he obviously didn't do anything, why is this guy so upset?

After learning that Zhu Gui's family had entered the capital, Zhu Yunxi didn't bother to worry about it, thinking about packing up the goods after they arrived in the capital.

Because he still has a major matter to deal with right now. This matter is not only related to the country of Ming Dynasty, but also related to Lao Zhu's greatest regret.

Zhu Yunxi's beloved concubine, Mu Yao, has reached her due date!

Ten days later, in Beigong, Mu Yao's bedroom.

Amidst bursts of shouts of pain, teams of court ladies kept coming in and out with hot water and towels.

Concubine Guo Hui, Concubine Yang and others surrounded Mu Yao's bedside, cheering Mu Yao up non-stop.

"Kid, hold on!"

"As long as you survive today, you will be the biggest contributor to the old Zhu family!"

Mu Yao's head was covered with sweat, while biting her lip tightly while enduring the labor pain, she nodded.

"Please rest assured, Concubine Hui, Mu Yao...Mu Yao must...ah..."

Outside the palace, Lao Zhu was sitting on a high chair and rubbing his hands constantly, while little Zhu was circling around Lao Zhu anxiously.

Old Zhu was also quite nervous at first, but after seeing Xiao Zhu so nervous, he suddenly became lively with interest.

"Unexpectedly, your kid is also nervous?"

Zhu Yunxi muttered angrily.

"Can you not be nervous, this is my first son!"

Lao Zhu also very much hopes to be a great-grandson, but when he thinks that Zhu Yunqi has given birth to three daughters in succession, Lao Zhu feels a little guilty.

Coupled with Zhu Yunxi's determination, it aroused his dissatisfaction.

"How do you know it must be a son, but not a daughter?"

Zhu Yunxi was also not polite, and went back directly.

"Haven't you had enough of your great-granddaughter?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he picked up a pastry and threw it at it.

"Dogs bark!"

"But let's let the imperial doctors look at it, and the imperial doctors all said that he is a great-grandson, hehehe!"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't see that Lao Zhu was happy, so he immediately poured cold water on him.

"Not necessarily, the imperial physician also said so when Zhu Yunwen gave birth to a child, but the last one was a girl!"

Old Zhu stared angrily when he heard this.

"To shut up!"

"If you tell our great-grandson that it's gone, we'll break your leg!"

Just as the two were arguing, Jin Yiwei Xu Liuzi stepped forward to report.

"Your Highness, on behalf of His Royal Highness and his family, please meet at the gate of the palace!"

Old Zhu was surprised when he heard this.

"The old thirteen is back?"

"No, we didn't give him an imperial edict, and the capital is fine, so why did their family come back?"

Seeing Old Zhu looking over suspiciously, Zhu Yunxi could only cover for Zhu Gui.

"Grandfather, it was grandson who called Uncle Thirteen back!"

"oh oh!"

As soon as Lao Zhu heard this, he did not suspect him. Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gui had a good relationship when they were in Dabentang. For such a big event as having a son, it is understandable for this rebellious grandson to call his thirteenth uncle back.

After Zhu Yunxi finished fooling Lao Zhu, he turned his head and changed his face.

"Bring Uncle Thirteen here, I'll take care of him on the way and teach him a few auspicious words!"

Xu Liuzi understood what he said, implying that he warned Zhu Gui not to talk nonsense.

"Understandable!"

Not long after, Zhu Gui led his whole family over to greet Lao Zhu. Lao Zhu saw that Zhu Gui's two grandsons were very happy, asked them a few words about their homework, and ordered someone to take them down to receive the reward.

After Zhu Gui saluted Lao Zhu, he looked at Zhu Yunxi anxiously.

"Greetings to the grandson of the emperor!"

"no!"

"Your family is exhausted from the journey, so hurry back to the palace to rest."

Zhu Gui drooped his head and turned away, Xu Miaoqing grabbed him.

"What are you going to go!"

"Even if you can't help with such a big event as the Empress Dowager Concubine giving birth, it's good to stay here and talk to Father and Empress Dowager!"

After Xu Miaoqing yelled at her useless prince, she gave another blessing to old Zhu.

"Father, the daughter-in-law is also the mother of two children. She has some experience in women's childbirth. Why don't you let the daughter-in-law go in and have a look? It's good to cheer up, too."

Old Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

"That's it!"

Seeing Xu Miaoqing being so attentive, Zhu Yunxi understood why Lao Zhu chose her as his daughter-in-law back then.

It is indeed the greatest luck in his life for Zhu Gui to marry such a daughter-in-law.

After Xu Miaoqing left, the atmosphere in the yard was a little awkward.

Zhu Yunxi didn't want to talk to Zhu Gui, even if Zhu Gui had nothing to say to him, he would be blocked.

Old Zhu really couldn't listen anymore, so he could only grab Zhu Gui and chat about the fiefdom and border guards.

Fortunately, Zhu Gui is quite concerned about the management of the fiefdom, and he also knows the policy of guarding the border like the back of his hand, so he didn't miss the timidity.

At first, Zhu Yunxi thought that giving birth would only take an hour or two, until he waited from the afternoon until it was dark, and when he heard the voices in the room getting lower and lower, he immediately panicked.

"Hao Wenjie is on standby, ready for a caesarean section at any time!"

Hao Wenjie had been transferred by Zhu Yunxie from the medical school long ago, just to prepare for this incident.

"promise!"

As soon as Hao Wenjie agreed, he led his well-known doctors to prepare to enter the arena. When Lao Zhu saw so many people running in, he panicked on the spot and stopped them quickly.

"What are you doing!"

"Grandfather, they are here to perform surgery on Mu Yao, in case Mu Yao has a difficult delivery..."

"Operation?"

"How to operate?"

Hao Wenjie immediately explained it to Lao Zhu from a medical point of view, and Lao Zhu's eyes almost popped out.

"What?"

"You guys are going to have a caesarean section..."

"Your Majesty, it's not a caesarean section, it's a caesarean section. It's a kind of operation, which is beneficial to both the child and the mother!"

Lao Zhu's scalp felt numb when he heard about the caesarean section, even though he knew it was a cure to save lives, he still couldn't accept it.

"hold on……"

"When it really doesn't work, I'm doing this risky move!"

Zhu Yunxi also felt sorry for Mu Yao, and didn't want to do this until the last step.But when he thought of Mu Yao's torment inside, he hesitated a little, thinking that it would be better to simply kill him.

"Hao Wenjie, go in and have a look first. If there is any need for surgery, we will do it right away without delay!"

"promise!"

This time Lao Zhu didn't stop him, as if he also agreed with Zhu Yunxi's words.

However, as soon as Hao Wenjie stepped onto the steps of the palace, he suddenly heard the sound of a baby crying from inside.

"Wow, wow wow wow..."

The crying seemed to have infinite magic power, not only sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere in the yard, but also making everyone's faces full of surprise.

"gave birth!"

"Grandpa Huang is born!"

Zhu Yunxi rushed to the bedroom like crazy, but unexpectedly was pushed back by Hao Wenjie at the door.

"Your Highness, you should not enter the delivery room!"

Zhu Yunxi was furious when he heard the words.

"What kind of bullshit rules, I want to..."

Old Zhu gave a loud drink when he heard the words.

"stop!"

"Don't enter if people say you won't let in, there's so much nonsense!"

Hearing the words, Zhu Yunxi had no choice but to back away embarrassingly, and looked eagerly at the door of the bedroom.

After a while, Concubine Guo Hui carefully carried a baby out, and said happily after seeing Zhu Yunxi.

"Congratulations to the grandson of the emperor for having a son!"

"Congratulations to the emperor on the birth of a great-grandson!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked tremblingly in front of Concubine Guo Hui.

"Is he really a great-grandson?"

"Yes!"

"The concubine can still lie to you!"

Lao Zhu opened his swaddle and looked at the little pot handle on his little great-grandson, as happy as a child.

"He's really a great-grandson!"

"Zhu Chongba saw his great-grandson, hahaha..."

While Lao Zhu was laughing up to the sky, people from the Beigong Telecom Office rushed in.

"Your Highness!"

"Great victory, great victory for the Tianshan Army!"

Old Zhu asked in bewilderment when he heard the words.

"What a big victory, when are we going to war again?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, General Sapphire led an army of 40 to wipe out the cavalry of the Timurid Empire. Currently, the army is marching towards Samarkand, the capital of the Timur Empire!"

"what?"

"This old man, Lan Yu, must have resisted the decree again, right?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded bitterly.

"Grandfather Shengming, my uncle is really not worrying!"

Old Zhu laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Sapphire is a sharp blade. If you use it well, you can hurt others, but if you don't use it well, you can hurt others and yourself."

"Fortunately, he is old, and he won't be able to survive for a few more years, otherwise we have to take him away when we leave!"

"However, after this battle, he won at least ten years of peace for the front line of the Tianshan Mountains, and his merits and demerits are equal, hahaha!"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately understood that Grandpa Daqinghuang didn't want to restore the title of Sapphire, so he had to wait for him to close his eyes, and then leave this opportunity of kindness to himself.

However, for Lan Yu, being able to restore the title before Lao Zhu's lifetime and restoring the title after Lao Zhu's death have two meanings.

If Lao Zhu died, it would be meaningless for Lan Yu to have this title or not.

After all, his greatest wish in this life is to slap Lao Zhu in the face and let Lao Zhu return the title to him himself.

Just when Zhu Yunxi felt sorry for Lan Yu, the old Zhu who was laughing suddenly fell silent, his mouth was wide open, unable to make a sound, and the expression on his face seemed to freeze.

"Your Majesty?"

Concubine Guo Hui was the first to notice something was wrong, and after handing the child to Xu Miaoqing, she hurried forward to support Lao Zhu.

"My lord!"

Concubine Guo Hui shook vigorously, Lao Zhu's mouth finally closed, but his eyes also closed immediately.

Concubine Guo Hui panicked even more when she saw this situation. Sister Ma was like this before she died!
Zhu Yunxi heard that Concubine Guo Hui's voice had changed, and realized that something serious had happened, so he hurriedly ordered someone to call out the imperial physician.

Zhu Gui saw that Lao Zhu suddenly fell into a coma, so he crawled over and cried.

"Father!"

"Father, don't scare your son!"

Now Zhu Yunxi is annoyed whenever he hears Zhu Gui's voice, and even more annoyed when he hears his mournful tone.

"To shut up!"

"Grandpa Huang is just tired, and he will wake up in a while!"

Hao Wenjie ran over in a hurry, rolled Lao Zhu's eyelids, felt Lao Zhu's pulse again, and shook his head at Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing this movement, Zhu Yunxi felt his heart stopped for a while, and a panic that he had never experienced before struck, as if the sky was about to fall.

"Hao Wenjie, you must keep Grandpa Huang, as long as Grandpa Huang persists for a few days..."

Hearing this, Hao Wenjie waved to the doctors beside him, and one of them immediately handed over a stethoscope.

Hao Wenjie listened to Lao Zhu's chest, the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"Your Majesty, don't panic. Your Majesty's heartbeat is not bad. It should be just a symptom of air-occlusion. After the minister gives His Majesty an acupuncture treatment, he should be able to wake up soon."

"However, His Majesty's age and body, there are some things that His Majesty should prepare for earlier."
