damn it!

In Taohua Village, the only local doctor who can cure illnesses is not in the village temporarily because there is a patient in the neighboring village.

There were only two or three pedestrians in the village, all holding umbrellas and looking timid. If Qi Si Liao was not so anxious, he would definitely notice that something was wrong with them.

Except for the sound of rain and frogs, the air suddenly became eerily quiet. The lanterns hanging from the eaves had swayed and gone out in the wind and rain, and there was no other light.

Several people holding umbrellas were like ghosts and monsters in the mountains. In a flash, they quickly drew out the cold swords at their waists.

The wind howled miserably in the air, accompanied by the sound of footsteps on the muddy road. Qi Siliao closed his umbrella to fight against it.

……

"Who is it? It's raining so hard..." After a long time, a bitter and tired voice came from the cabin next door, followed by the crying of a baby who was woken up.

"Brother Jiang Ling, help me!" Xiao Lanzi's trembling voice began to ripple in the night, "Princess Zhan asked me to come and ask you."

Upon hearing the words "Princess Zhan", and hearing Xiao Lanzi's anxious sobs, Jiang Ling and Wen Ruoxue looked at each other.

Wen Ruoxue picked up the child and coaxed him, looking anxiously towards the door, "I'm afraid something happened to the princess. There's no time to delay, you should go over there quickly."

"I have never heard the voice of this person before. I am afraid it is a trap."

"Princess Zhan is having a miscarriage. Prince Zhan has gone to ask for a doctor. I cannot take care of her alone. I ask Brother Jiang Ling to come with me..."

With a creak, the wooden door opened. Xiao Lanzi's eyes lit up for a moment, but it was only for a moment before he hurriedly pulled Jiang Ling to the shabby house.

On the way over, Jiang Shi and Azhu, who were not far away, also heard the call and they hurried out of the house.

Jiang Shi immediately recognized the little man in eunuch's clothes and called out in surprise, "Little basket, why are you here?"

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who asked me to come here, but I have implicated Princess Zhan. Now is not the time to chat, hurry up..."

Before Xiao Lanzi finished speaking, Jiang Shi had already disappeared. Ah Zhu, who was walking side by side with Jiang Shi, was stunned. Her eyes gradually turned red because of her inner loss, but the current situation did not allow her to be pessimistic, so she followed the others to the small shabby house.

Hu Luanfei's face had long lost its color due to the pain. She leaned against the head of the bed, stroking her abdomen with one hand, supporting the edge of the bed with the other, and trying to take a deep breath.

When she saw several people coming, she immediately ordered: "Quick, go find the prince..."

"Didn't the prince go to ask for a doctor?"

Jiang Shi came and held her hand anxiously. The worry and fear on his face were real, so much so that Ah Zhu, who came from behind, saw it. He was anxious and took a step forward. He held his sleeve with one hand and separated their hands with the other hand. "Nonsense, go find the prince if the princess asks you to. Don't get in the way here."

"No, I can't leave. I want to stay here with the queen." Jiang Shi said almost crying.

Ah Zhu smiled sadly, "No man is needed here, I am enough."

Hu Luanfei glanced at Jiang Shi for a few times, then looked at Jiang Ling, took a few deep breaths, and said weakly, "I always feel uneasy. The prince didn't choose a good time to ask for a doctor. It's raining so hard and it's such a long way. How can I feel at ease? You go quickly."

Jiang Ling was more mature than Jiang Shi, so he knew that he and Jiang Shi should not be here at this moment. After hesitating for a while, he made up his mind to pull Jiang Shi away, "Here are Ah Zhu and the little basket, you and I will go find the prince."

Even if Jiang Shi didn't want to, he couldn't do anything about it, because when he was dragged away and wanted to ask Ah Zhu to take good care of Hu Luanfei, he suddenly saw the sadness on Ah Zhu's face, as if... as if she had lost something. At that moment, he was extremely clear-headed and realized that he had married Ah Zhu and should no longer be involved with the princess. So, the words of asking him to take good care of the princess turned into "Don't force yourself, hide outside if you're afraid..."

The last sentence pierced Ah Zhu's sadness like a sharp blade. Suddenly, it was like a ray of light passed through his heart, and his whole body became bright.

Ah Zhu couldn't help but stare in amazement. Fortunately, Hu Luanfei suddenly exclaimed and successfully woke her up.

"I feel like I'm about to give birth..." So panicky, so scary!

Hu Luanfei had read books on the subject and knew that if a person had a miscarriage, there was an 80 percent chance that the baby would be born prematurely.

and so…

Ah Zhu held Hu Luanfei's hand and said comfortingly, "I have seen the ladies in the mansion give birth to children. First of all, don't be anxious."

With that, Ah Zhu turned around and looked at the shivering Xiao Lan Basket standing beside him and said, "Please go to the kitchen and boil some hot water for me..."

Before Ah Zhu could finish, Xiao Lanzi came to his senses and responded excitedly, "I'll go right away."

After Xiao Lanzi left, Azhu checked on Hu Luanfei, but was suddenly stopped.

"Wait..." Hu Luanfei took a deep breath, "It seems, it doesn't hurt as much as before."

Even after saying this, Ah Zhu was still worried. Although she had never given birth, she had seen other people give birth, so she rejected Hu Luanfei's words and chose to check her body from head to toe.

After a lot of trouble, Hu Luanfei finally settled down. She stroked her belly, and the fetus kicked her belly vigorously. She didn't dare to take it lightly and was still worried. She glanced at Ah Zhu and saw that her clothes were soaked by the rain, especially her trouser legs, which were stained with mud. Her pair of pink embroidered shoes were in a mess, and every time she walked, a puddle of water would be left on the ground.

"I'm sorry to have caused you worry."

"It's okay." Ah Zhu was also looking at Hu Luanfei carefully, and found that there were spots of depression between Hu Luanfei's eyebrows and corners of his eyes, so he knew that something had happened today.

"What happened to your princess that affected your pregnancy?" Ah Zhu asked kindly.

"Oh, family matters." Hu Luanfei couldn't sleep well no matter what he thought of his mother being detained in Chengqian Palace by Xuanyuan Li.

At this time, Ah Zhu brought her a cup of hot water and couldn't help but frown and ask, "Did you have a quarrel with the prince?"

"It would be better if it was just a simple quarrel between husband and wife, but unfortunately it is not." Hu Luanfei took a sip of hot tea and told Ah Zhu in detail why Xiao Lanzi came to Taohua Village in the rain.

Ah Zhu was shocked when he heard this, "You are still the princess of Beiqiu?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Hu Luanfei nodded. "I didn't grow up in Beiqiu, so few people know my identity. If Xuanyuan Li hadn't detained my mother, I wouldn't have caused myself so much pain."

Ah Zhu couldn't help but frown and ponder for a moment, "So, your situation in the future..." He paused and continued, "It will probably be very difficult."
