Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1773

Xiao Zhi's hands trembled slightly as he unfolded the secret letter. After reading the contents clearly, he felt the blood in his body flowing backwards and his ears buzzing like thunder.

He staggered and fell onto the dragon throne, his five fingers digging deeply into the carvings on the armrests, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

The secret letter burned like a branding iron in his sleeve. He rode in a sedan chair to the young master's residence, but was ordered to turn around and return to the palace in front of the red lacquered gate.

He didn't dare to go in.

When the third bell rang, Xiao Shuzi hurried back to the palace to report, "The princess has persistent abdominal pain. She has been given labor-inducing medicine three times, but still can't give birth."

The next day, Xiao Zhi summoned Shen Siyuan to the palace with only one order: "Save the princess and the baby in her belly at all costs."

Shen Siyuan thought to himself, you still have to tell me this.

The order came so strangely that he had a bad feeling. "Your Highness, but... have you received the military report on the border war?"

Xiao Zhi spoke solemnly, "Break through Duanhong Pass, great victory in Tiema City!"

Isn't that a good thing? Why does the prince look like he has lost his parents? Shen Siyuan asked again with a trembling voice, "Any other news?"

Xiao Zhi was silent for a long time, his Adam's apple rolled several times, and he finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Ma Chuyang was ambushed, and the prince consort came to rescue him, but his life or death is uncertain."

Shen Siyuan's hands and feet were cold, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

The fate of the prince consort is uncertain! Oh my God! Can this family ever have peace?

He didn't know how he got back to the Young Master's Mansion. He went to Tinglan Courtyard and took a walk around, but still didn't dare to go in.

All they could hear were the chaotic sound of footsteps inside, and Madam Meng's clear voice penetrated the carved door, "Princess, don't sit still. Get up and walk around."

Liang Yanbing's voice said, "It hurts when the princess leaves, don't let her move."

"If she doesn't move, she won't be able to give birth."

Then there was the sound of fabric rubbing against each other, and Shi Anxia's weak but stubborn voice, "I'll walk, I'll walk a little more." She asked breathlessly, "Madam Meng, if I walk a few more steps, will I be able to give birth?"

Shen Siyuan wiped away the tears in his eyes and turned to leave the house. He had already moved out of the young master's house, and he hurriedly moved back with his wife.

Shi Yunqi was summoned into the palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and looked miserable when he came out.

He had no appetite when he returned to the Marquis's Mansion for dinner.

Wei Cailing thought her husband was still worried about the damage she had done to her body during childbirth, so she gently comforted him, "Don't worry, my husband. My son and I are both fine. We'll be fine again after a few more days of rest."

She was thinking about her sister-in-law. "Xia'er has been in pain for several days but still can't give birth. This is not a solution."

She felt particularly touched, "It would be nice if my brother-in-law was here."

Shi Yunqi's heart choked when he heard this.

Wei Cailing talked about how she was in so much pain during childbirth that day that she no longer had the strength to live. It was only when she heard her husband calling out, "Ling'er, you must live," that she managed to come back from the brink of death.

She felt that no matter what happened, having her husband by her side would always make her feel more at ease.

Shi Yunqi moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. He didn't want to bother his wife, so he just murmured "hmm", and he didn't know what she said.

He asked someone to invite his mother, Tang Chujun, to come over, and the two of them stayed in the study and talked for a long time.

When Tang Chujun came out of the study, his eyes were red. He happened to run into Shi Chengxuan who was returning home, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed and avoided him without bothering to pay attention to him.

But Shi Chengxuan was not willing to let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet, so he walked over to block his ex-wife's way and asked, "Why did you come back?"

"I'm here to see my son, daughter-in-law and grandson. You'd better not mess with me now. Get out of here!" Tang Chujun was furious.
