Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 730: Repaying the favor to the Crown Prince

His Royal Highness the King of Chu's honor guard, guarding his golden chariot, drove on the stone road of Nanjing City.

The atmosphere in the carriage was a little cold.This is the first time that Lao Liu has been drinking tea for so long.

After a long time, Zhang Xunzhen broke the silence. "There's something I don't know whether I should say more about."

"Say." Lao Liu said in a muffled voice.

"What happened to the Crown Princess this time reminds me of the little tricks used by some women to compete for favor in the back houses of wealthy families." Zhang Xunzhen said calmly.

"How do you say it?" Lao Liu was indeed interested and asked with a raised brow.

"The Crown Princess's fetus is too big, and an experienced doctor can tell it. At this time, you need to avoid food, especially sweet foods, but why didn't anyone remind the Crown Princess?" Zhang Xunzhen sneered: "The Crown Princess, during pregnancy Shouldn’t we be very cautious about our diet?”

"Even though we are a royal family, we still lack experience in this area..." Zhu Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "I also find it strange. My sister-in-law's birth to Xiongying went smoothly, so why did it happen this time? So dangerous?"

As he spoke, he sighed softly and said: "I also feel that my sister-in-law has been tricked by others. But I'm afraid there is no evidence for this kind of thing."

"Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?" Zhang Xunzhen said softly: "In my family, as long as there is suspicion, it is enough..."

"Indeed." Lao Liu nodded and said, "Then who do you think is the most suspicious?"

"Do you still need to ask?" Zhang Xunzhen sneered: "If the Crown Princess disappears, who will benefit the most?"

"Of course it's the Lu family." Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The eldest brother is so young, it is impossible for him to be without a main concubine forever. She, the side concubine, will most likely be the one to straighten her up."

"Right..." Zhang Xunzhen said quietly: "Although I only met her once in the delivery room, I always felt that something was wrong with her."

"What's wrong?" Lao Liu's pupils shrank and he stared at Zhang Xunzhen.

"I can't tell, I just rely on intuition, but my intuition is always very accurate." Zhang Xunzhen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Do you want to eat people? You are staring at people like this."

As he spoke, he covered his mouth and chuckled, "Is it because I missed one more glance?"

"No, I didn't." Lao Liu said angrily: "We are talking about business, don't interrupt."

"I'm done talking about my business," Zhang Xunzhen smiled at him, and then remembered something and said, "By the way, there is one more thing - the fertility charms hanging in the delivery room are all wrong."

"How did you know..." Halfway through his words, Lao Liu swallowed his doubts and said, "Okay, you must know."

I know the talisman drawn by Taoist priests, why is it also called the Tianshi Talisman?

At this time, the golden chariot stopped at the entrance of Chunhe Palace.

When Zhu Zhen and Zhang Xunzhen got out of the car, they saw the prince leading Zhu Xiongying to greet them at the door.

"Uncle Liu!" Zhu Xiongying jumped into Lao Liu's arms and hugged his neck tightly.

"Be gentle, I'll strangle your uncle Liu to death." Lao Liu rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, making Zhu Xiongying burst into laughter.

"His Royal Highness personally greeted him, which is really a shame." Zhang Xunzhen was generous and considerate in front of the prince.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" The prince said with great respect, "You are the savior of Xiongying's mother, and I must personally welcome you."

Then he said to Zhu Xiongying: "Come down and thank Master Zhang on behalf of your mother and concubine." "Yes." Zhu Xiongying obediently got off Lao Liu's neck, respectfully saluted Zhang Xunzhen and said, "Thank you Master Zhang for saving my mother. The hero is unforgettable..."

As she spoke, she burst into tears. Such a big child already understood some things and knew that he almost lost his mother.

"You're such a little kid, you can't forget it." Lao Liu stroked his head and comforted his eldest nephew.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this." Zhang Xunzhen quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept the gift from the emperor's eldest grandson. "This is what a poor man should do."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Besides, His Highness King Chu taught me that. You should thank your sixth uncle."

"Really, Uncle Liu?" Zhu Xiongying raised his head and looked at Liu Liu with surprise on his face.

"You can put it this way..." Lao Liu touched his nose in embarrassment, feeling the embarrassment of the male obstetrics and gynecology doctor.

"Uncle Liu is so awesome, he can even do it in his lifetime!" Zhu Xiongying was so happy that he jumped up and down while hugging Liu's thigh.In his little heart, there was nothing that Uncle Six would not do.

"Lao Liu just moved his mouth. The real person who really saved his mother's life was the real person." The prince was still grateful to Zhang Xunzhen and said:
"My whole family will always be grateful for your kindness. If you are in trouble in the future, I will definitely help you."

"Your Highness is serious." Zhang Xunzhen quickly returned the courtesy with a solemn look.She is not an ignorant civilian girl, and she is very aware of the weight of His Royal Highness's promise.

Wait until the two of them are done being polite.Lao Liu carried the emperor's eldest grandson on his shoulders and asked the prince: "Are my fifth brother and his wife here?"

"I've been here for a long time." The prince smiled and said, "I'm talking to your sister-in-law."

"Oh, sister-in-law recovered very quickly." Lao Liu said with joy from the bottom of his heart: "Come on, let's go and have a look."

"Master, please come here. Zhuo Jing also said that he would like to thank you personally." The prince politely invited Zhang Xunzhen to enter, and then walked side by side to the harem with Lao Liu.

As the prince walked away, he held Lao Liu's hand tightly and whispered: "Your fifth brother told me that in your sister-in-law's situation, the doctors are desperate, otherwise they would not come out to ask for help. Fortunately, The forceps you invented saved their lives."

"Are we still polite?" Lao Liu smiled and shook his elder brother's hand. "It's not my eldest brother's fault. My eldest sister-in-law is better than my mother. I have no shirk in my duty."

"I'm not polite to you either." The prince wiped the corners of his eyes and scolded with a smile: "What you've learned is too complex. You can even deliver a woman's baby."

"That's true, regardless of who my master is?" Lao Liu's gesture of throwing the blame was so perfect that he even looked a little handsome.

"Back then, my father said that Mr. Liu would even deliver babies to women. I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect it to be true." The prince shook his head in disbelief. This sincerity is simply an inexhaustible treasure.

"But how did you come up with the idea to prepare this in advance?" The prince expressed the question he had been holding back for several days: "I heard from your fifth brother that you have had people practice for a long time."

Zhang Xunzhen also looked at Lao Liu inquiringly. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

"Uh..." Lao Liu calmly moved out and said, "It's a long story. Wasn't it difficult for my fourth sister-in-law to give birth to Gao Chi at that time?"

"Yes, it was extremely dangerous that time, but at least there was no danger." The prince nodded.

"I was very worried that this situation would happen again. After I returned to Beijing, I asked Master if there was any way to solve difficult labor. Master took out this... forceps from his treasure box." Lao Liu first faked and then said:
"Later I saw that my sister-in-law was at risk of dystocia, so just in case, I asked Fairy Zhang to make preparations. Unexpectedly, it was actually used."

The prince suddenly stood still and asked, "Did you know in advance that your sister-in-law might have a difficult childbirth?"
