Chapter 71 Death and Rebirth

The dead go to death, and the living go to life.

The eleventh year of Zhenguan, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, at the end of the middle of winter, the world is extremely cold, this day is destined to be an unusual day.

Late at night, Empress Changsun, who had been waiting for more than two days, finally returned and left with her crane.

With the trombone of the palace saying "The Queen's Funeral" and the death of Empress Changsun was settled, and the palace was covered with white moistness. At the same time, the Chu Palace in Yankangfang became lively and busy.

Since the night of the night, the Princess Wu Meiniang of Chu suddenly had abdominal pain, and Wu Meiniang's birth date was already in these few days. Wu Meiniang's sudden abdominal pain was naturally about to give birth.

Wu Meiniang's stomach hurt, and the entire Chu King's Mansion suddenly stopped quiet. All the servants in the inner courtyard stood up and started to work inside and outside.

In the inner room, Wu Meiniang kept screaming in pain, and the Wenpo who delivered the baby had been in the house for a while. Li Ke was working on this matter outside the house and walked back and forth urgently, but couldn't help at all.

"Your Highness, don't sway back and forth. The princess is giving birth in the house. No matter how anxious you are, it's useless. Stand and rest quickly, it's annoying." Li Ke stood outside the delivery room, his legs kept stopping, and had already walked back and forth dozens of times in front of the door. Dan'er, who was already impatient, was shaking his eyes and finally couldn't hold it in, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke is the head of the family. Others can't tell him, and they dare not talk about him. Only Dan'er, a confidant maid who has been with Li Ke for many years and is not afraid of Li Ke's punishment, can talk about him.

Li Ke said: "I don't want to be so anxious. I'm not going to be able to help you."

Dan'er said: "As a man, your highness can't help with the matter in the delivery room, it's fine if your Highness can't help. He still swayed here, blocking the way in and out of the house, causing chaos."

Li Ke has a noble status, and no one in the mansion dares to hit him. Therefore, when Li Ke is walking back and forth outside the door, everyone busy inside and outside the delivery room, whether they are carrying hot water or holding cloth, must avoid Li Ke, which is inconvenient to enter and exit.

When Li Ke heard this, he realized that he was walking back and forth outside the door blocking the way in and out of the maid in the mansion. He scratched his head and retreated.

Dan'er walked up to Li Ke with a handkerchief in his hand, raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads of Li Ke's forehead, and said to Li Ke: "It's cold and cold. Why are you sweating? The princess is auspicious and the heavenly beings. You don't have to worry too much."

Li Ke was born in the army and was used to big scenes. In front of the two armies, thousands of people were fighting, and Li Ke was able to keep it calm, but today, outside this small delivery room, Li Ke was restless and anxious, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Li Ke was a little excited, but more worried. After all, although Wu Meiniang has always had a good body, she gave birth to a child at a young age. How could Li Ke not worry?

Li Ke clenched his fists tightly and stayed anxiously outside the house for more than an hour. Finally, when he heard the cry of a baby in the house, the door of the delivery room slowly opened.

"How?" Li Ke watched the door of the delivery room open, and the delivery woman walked out of the house. Li Ke asked quickly.

Wenpo laughed and leaned over to congratulate Li Ke: "Congratulations to Your Highness, mother and son for safety. The princess has added a small prince to the Prince of Chu's Mansion."

When Li Ke heard this, a smile appeared on his face and immediately said, "Okay, very good, please come down with the Strong Woman and give it a great reward!"

After Li Ke finished speaking, he spared the Wenpo in front of him and wanted to go into the house to visit Wu Meiniang and his new eldest son.

But just as Li Ke was about to step into the house, before he could enter, he was stopped by the busy woman at the door. The woman said, "Your Highness stops. The man will not enter the delivery room. The princess has just given birth to a child and the house is full of blood. I am afraid he will rush to Your Highness. Your Highness should wait until it is packed before entering."

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "It's okay, when I am a young man joining the army, I will be in the lives of thousands of people when I raise my hand. Ghosts and gods can easily destroy them. How can these blood and energy hurt me?"

After Li Ke finished speaking, he ignored the dissuasion of others and entered the house.

In the room, Wu Meiniang had just given birth to a child, and was at her weakest time. She was resting on the brocade quilt in front of the bed, looking at the child in the arms of the old woman next to her, with a gentle smile in her eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work in Mei Niang." Li Ke entered, sat down beside Wu Mei Niang's bed, looked at Wu Mei Niang's pale face, held Wu Mei Niang's cold hand, and said softly.

It was cold outside, and Wu Meiniang felt the warmth from Li Ke's palm and laughed at Li Ke: "How can you do your best? Listening to the maid, your highness is afraid you will be very anxious outside."

Li Ke smiled and said, "I don't worry about the movements in the house, but fortunately, Mei Niang is lucky enough to be the best person and the heavenly being protected by God."

Wu Meiniang smiled, stretched out her hand, and said to the old woman holding the child, "Can you hold the child for me?"

The old lady said, "It's okay to hold it for the princess, but I'm afraid that the princess is weak and lacks strength at the moment, so don't throw her down."

Seeing this, Li Ke ordered: "It's okay, just leave it to me."

Li Ke said, raised his hand, took the child from the old lady's hand, held it in his arms, and exposed it in front of Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang looked at the child and said to Li Ke: "The outline of this child looks like Saburo, and he will be as heroic as Saburo in the future."

Li Ke looked at the child in his arms. Although his eyebrows had not even grown, he could see that the child in his arms was quite similar to him. Li Ke smiled and said, "That's natural. He is the eldest son of this king and will inherit the king in the future."

Wu Meiniang asked, "Have you ever named the child?"

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "This is our eldest son. If you want to name it, it is better to ask your father to come. I will also enter the palace tomorrow. What I will ask my father at that time is what I mean."

Asking Li Shimin to name his eldest son is not only a compromising of Li Shimin's noble character and solemnity, but also a look at Li Shimin's thoughts and attitude towards this child and the entire Chu Prince's Mansion. Wu Meiniang thought about it and guessed Li Ke's thoughts.

Wu Meiniang said, "Okay, then follow what Sanlang said."

Wu Meiniang gave birth to a child and gave birth to the eldest son of the Chu Palace, which was naturally a good thing. Li Ke was overjoyed and rewarded everyone. Although it was late at night, the inside and outside of the palace were still joking.

But just when the entire Chu King was gradually becoming lively because of the birth of the young prince, the eunuchs from the palace hurriedly rushed to the inner courtyard under the leadership of Xue Rengui to ask for Li Ke.

At this time, the palace gate was closed and the news inside and outside the palace was difficult to communicate. Although it was a big deal to add a child to the King of Chu, it would never disturb Ye Kai's palace. At this time, the Tai Chi Palace should not have received any news of Li Ke's son, so the eunuch came here, so naturally he did not come here to congratulate him.

When Li Ke heard that an eunuch in the palace was asking for a meeting, his heart suddenly trembled and he vaguely guessed something. Sure enough, just a moment later, the eunuch in the palace entered the door and hurriedly said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, the Queen is in the Heavens, Your Majesty is eager to recruit all the princes and princes into the palace."

The death of Empress Changsun was inevitable, so Li Ke and Wu Meiniang were also prepared in their hearts, but when they heard the news, they were still shocked.

Wu Meiniang and Li Ke looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Wu Meiniang hurriedly said to Li Ke: "Sanlang doesn't have to be here for this matter. Saburo quickly goes to the palace."
