The Crybaby Prince is Reborn, Where is the Prince Going?

Chapter 143 Falling into the water

Xiao Mingcheng nodded without asking any more questions: "I understand."

"Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite? You're so brave to actually bring him out. If someone finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jin You was startled, and suddenly remembered that Xiao Mingcheng could also hear Xiao Yunzhen's thoughts, and then smiled: "It won't be discovered."

There are no less than ten shadow guards and secret guards hiding near the carriage. Once there is any unusual movement, no matter who it is, they will be stabbed into pieces in an instant.

Jinyou was not worried that there would be someone fearless enough to approach the Regent's carriage.

"Okay, as long as you're sure." Xiao Mingcheng changed the subject, "When do you plan to let me meet Tiao Tiao?"

"No rush." ​​Jinyou said, "If Your Highness is free in the next two days, you can come to the palace for a gathering."

Xiao Mingcheng looked at him, but failed to see any useful information from his face, and didn't want to waste his time guessing.

He said, "Okay, I'll come find you when I'm free."

The two talked for a while, and Gao Liangzhuo personally came to invite Xiao Mingcheng to return to the Ministry of Revenue to continue to preside over the overall situation.

So the two of them parted ways, and Jinyou took Xiao Yunzhen back home to hide his achievements and fame.

...

On the afternoon of the second day after the imperial examination, Cen Ying came back with a message, and Han Du personally delivered the note to Jin You.

There were only six words on the note: "The Second Prince's Concubine wishes to give birth."

After reading the note, Jinyou burned it, slowly raised the corners of his lips, and watched what Zhao Yuejiao would do.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Chu Lingle was lying in the delivery room. The pain made her face pale and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

The midwife, holding her hand, was sweating profusely. "My dear, please push... This baby is quite big! You can still give birth to it even if you push hard! Take a deep breath and push harder!"

Chu Lingle followed the nanny's instructions, took a deep breath and pushed hard, but it hurt so much!

Xiao Mingyi paced back and forth anxiously outside the delivery room, listening to Chu Lingle's cries, which were sometimes sharp and sometimes weak. He felt as if someone was strangling his neck tightly, and his heart ached to the point of suffocation.

He suddenly stopped and grabbed his attendant's wrist, "Is Concubine Zhao ready?"

Cunji was frightened by Xiao Mingyi's red eyes and immediately said, "I have already sent someone to ensure that the baby in Concubine Zhao's belly can be delivered to the maternity ward in time."

"No," Xiao Mingyi said worriedly, grabbing Cunji's wrist and applying a little force, "You go yourself! If she doesn't cooperate, I'll perform a cesarean section and take the baby away!"

Cunji trembled. His Highness was too cruel. A caesarean section... No one had ever survived a caesarean section!

"Are you feeling sorry for her?" Xiao Mingyi sneered, "I am your master. Haven't I been prepared since you betrayed her? Don't worry, I will never let her die. After she gives birth to this child, if you want it, I will reward you."

Cun Ji's heart trembled violently.

It turns out that His Highness knows all about his dirty thoughts about the concubine... But if His Highness can really give her to me, then it is not impossible for me to take the child away without harming her life.

Immediately, Cunji knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to personally perform a cesarean section on the Concubine!"

Xiao Mingyi smiled and patted his face: "You are such a villain."

Cun Ji smiled in a servile manner.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Yes!" Cun Ji ran away excitedly, really thinking that as long as he could do this thing for Xiao Mingyi, his wish would come true.

Xiao Mingyi looked at Cunji's back and shook his hands in disgust.

A toad wants to eat swan flesh? Zhao Yuejiao is his woman, even if she dies, she will only be his.

How dare these filthy dogs touch his stuff.

Haha~ I’m also tired of living!

In Yuqing Building, Cen Ying stayed by Zhao Yuejiao's side the whole time.

There were three bowls of different thick medicines in front of Zhao Yuejiao, and two midwives were kneeling in front of her.

"You'd better drink this medicine quickly, Concubine! The baby will be born sooner or later. Drinking this labor-inducing medicine may help the baby come out sooner. You can also see the baby sooner, right?"

Zhao Yuejiao sneered, her brows furrowed slightly as she said coldly, "My child is only eight months old, and you want him to be born now? Why? On what basis? Just to give that damn woman a pair of twins?"

"Your Majesty, be careful with your words! Whether you want to give birth today or not, you must give birth. If you don't drink the medicine, we women will have to feed you the medicine ourselves! We are used to doing rough work and have strong hands! Don't hurt your body!"

As they said that, several people stood up, approached Zhao Yuejiao, and tried to grab her and force her to drink the medicine.

Cen Ying narrowed her eyes slightly and shouted coldly: "You are looking for death!"

Unfortunately, she was stopped by Zhao Yuejiao before she could make a move.

"I don't need you to rush me. If you want my child, I can give it to you."

Upon hearing this, the maids' faces lit up with joy, "Then why aren't you drinking yet?"

Zhao Yuejiao's eyes were red, and her tone softened: "I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth, and I'm afraid I'll lose my life. Can you give me a quarter of an hour? Let me take another look at my yard..."

Fearing that the maids would disagree, she added pitifully, "Just a quarter of an hour. I don't ask for more."

Some of the old women also felt a little soft-hearted. They were all mothers, so how could they not know the side effects of inducing labor.

Since the child can be born full-term, why should we bear to have a premature birth?

But they had no choice. Although they felt sad, they had to obey His Highness's orders.

But since Zhao Yuejiao was sensible, a quarter of an hour was not too long.

After discussing it, they agreed to Zhao Yuejiao's request.

"Okay, then a quarter of an hour. If Your Majesty refuses again after a quarter of an hour, we can't guarantee what we will do."

Zhao Yuejiao nodded gratefully, "It'll only be a quarter of an hour. I won't make it difficult for you."

The maids were also convinced that she could not escape their clutches, so they turned and left Yuqingzhu without even a glance, waiting outside Yuqingzhu to give Zhao Yuejiao enough space to say goodbye.

As soon as the person left, Cen Ying hurriedly asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Is Tongyun still here?"

Cen Ying didn't know why she asked Tong Yun. The situation was urgent, what use was a maid?

But she still answered Zhao Yuejiao: "We should be guarding outside."

"Well, take her to the lake. I'll wait for her there."

Cen Ying frowned slightly, she had some idea of ​​what Zhao Yuejiao was thinking.

She said, "Okay, I'll take her over. You go over there and wait. It will be quick."

Zhao Yuejiao smiled and said, "Thank you."

Cen Ying was startled, tilted her head slightly, and her cheeks turned a little red.

She didn't expect Zhao Yuejiao to thank her. She was a little at a loss and ran to find Tong Yun as if escaping.

After she left, Zhao Yuejiao also slowly stood up, holding her waist, and walked towards the small pavilion by the lake.

As soon as she arrived at the pavilion, Cen Ying came with Tong Yun.

"Miss, you called me." Tong Yun stood in front of Zhao Yuejiao with his head lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Tongyun, you've been with me for quite a few years now." Zhao Yuejiao sighed, as if recalling the past: "Back in Xuzhou, I was the daughter of the Zhao family, and you were a little girl abandoned and sold on the street. I took pity on you and bought you. You were smart and could read people's expressions, so I promoted you to be my personal maid."

Tong Yun's heart, blinded by hatred, trembled violently, and his eyes became moist.

"But you should never have instigated Siyun to seduce His Highness. You also shouldn't have stolen my things and given them to Cunji, hoping to lure him into flirting with me. Unfortunately, Cunji is a coward. He would run away as soon as he saw me, let alone do anything to me."

Tong Yun's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost. She knew? She actually knew everything!

Zhao Yuejiao chuckled, "It's funny, isn't it? You thought you were hiding all your little actions from me, but you didn't expect that I knew everything, right? But you are smart. These little things really disgust me."

"I often wonder if I hadn't saved you, would I have raised such an ungrateful person? Tongyun, I was the one who gave you this name."

Tong Yun was shaking with fear and didn't even realize that Zhao Yuejiao was holding his hand.

Zhao Yuejiao grabbed Tong Yun's hand tightly and placed it on her chest. She backed away until her body hit the railing of the pavilion and stopped.

"Tong Yun, if I die this time, I will definitely come back to take your life. If I am still alive... I will watch you die with my own eyes.

Tongyun...you don't deserve to be called this name.

You don’t deserve it!

As she spoke, she exerted force on her hands, which also aroused the hatred in Tong Yun's heart. The two forces converged on Zhao Yuejiao.

With a loud splash, Zhao Yuejiao fell into the water, creating a huge splash...
