"Hehe…aren’t all emperors like that? So when Yunhan left, I told him to expect love from an emperor. We are all men, so we should all be clear men’s ill nature. He is the emperor, who could own numerous beautiful women. How could he give them up for Yunhan only? Maybe he has feelings for Yunhan, but far from enough for someone who wants love.”
Down the five thousand years’ history of Huaxia Kingdom, only three emperors had only had their empress for the whole life, no other concubines, who were Emperor Yuanqin of West Wei, Emperor Zhao Shu, and Emperor Mingxiao Zhu Youtang, except them, no emperor didn’t have a big harem full of concubines. It was not that the emperor had no feelings, it was just that they hid it too deeply, so deep that no one could tell. Except that reason, they also needed to use the harem to balance the court.
"That's why I feel sorry for Yunhan and couldn’t let him go."
Zeng Shaoqing looked quite down. In fact, his days were not that good. He was twenty-eight this year. If he still didn’t get married, maybe his father would carry his knife to chase after him through the whole capital after he came back, while his mom and a few sisters-in-law would drown him with their tears.
"Then don’t let go. But I think you should first let Yunhan know your feelings about him. If I guess right, he still hasn’t known yet, right?”
Ling Jingxuan said reasonably, totally didn’t think confessing one’s love was some kind of embarrassing thing. Like him and Yan Shengrui. Even when Shengrui still hadn’t remembered everything, he had never hidden his feelings. He was a man, why be shy like a woman?
"You think I don't want to? I only didn’t say I love you to him. Jingxuan, you should know how shrewd Yunhan is. But why is he so dull in relationships? In his heart, I am always that wild kid who often had fights outside and sneaked back into the backyard of his family. Why can’t he see I’m already a grownup?”
Zeng Shaoqing powerlessly lay prone on the stone table, as if completely forgetting the existence of Ling Yun and Zhao Shan, it was the first time he said his heart before someone else except Yan Shengrui. Ling Jingxuan found it amused and shook his head with a smile. As he was about to get up and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, he suddenly felt huge labor pains and his whole body fell back down.
"Are you OK?”
"Master Xuan(Shifu), what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that, the other three got frightened and hurriedly moved over. Ling Jingxuan held the back of his waist with one hand while the other felt his stomach, trying to press down the pains, soon, his face was covered in sweat. Zeng Shaoqing and the other two looked so anxious, even Yan Yi who was hiding in the dark ignored Ling Jingxuan’s order of him and came out. But no one dared touch him. Even Zhao Shan who wanted to feel his impulse had to give up since his hands already went stiff now.
"Master Xuan, bad news, a lot of yamen runners are outside, saying that…Master Xuan, what’s wrong with you?”
Before Old Song finished his words, he got scared by the situation in front of him, his face instantly turned pale, after quite a while, he stammered, “Master Xuan, is it possible you are going to give birth?”
Should the due date seven or eight days later? Why now?
It felt so painful that Ling Jingxuan couldn’t even speak but could only subconsciously give him a nod. Not only labor pains, he felt like it got wet already between his legs. It should be that the water broke. Damn it! Why so fast? Shengrui hasn’t come back yet…He was still not prepared.
"What!"
Zeng Shaoqing screamed, and soon realized he kind of forgot himself, so he hurriedly said, “What should we do now? Jingxuan, can you talk? Can you tell me what to do?”
A man who hadn’t even been married yet, don’t expect him to stay calm at such a time. Now Zeng Shaoqing was like an ant on a hot pan.
"Shut…Shut up!"
Finally Ling Jingxuan squeezed out two words with difficulty, then he turned to Zhao Shan, “Needles.”
The pains came and went, but now he had to stop it first, whatsoever, he had to hang in there before they sent him to the delivery room.
"Got it!"
Soon resuming his calmness, Zhao Shan felt out the whole set of silver needles his shifu had specially asked Zhang Qing to bring back from the prefecture for him. Before he could have time to open the leather sheath, Ling Jingxuan quickly felt out a few of them and accurately pricked into a few acupoints without even looking. Seeing that he did that without even untying his clothes, everyone was scared, only afraid that he might prick the wrong places.
"Help me to the delivery room."
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Facts proved that Ling Jingxuan’s medical skill were superb. A few minutes later, his situation had greatly improved. After pulling out the silver needles, he rested his hands on Zhao Shan and Old Song on both sides. Under their support, Ling Jingxuan stood up with difficulty, and water already wetted his pants, like he just pissed his pants. Zeng Shaoqing who was standing behind suddenly rushed forward and carried him up, “You lead the way.”
"Yes...yes..."
With Zeng Shaoqing’s roar, Yan Shaoqing quickly led the way, and Zeng Shaoqing who was carrying Ling Lingxuan soon caught up using his lightness skills. Then, Old Song and Ling Yun who came back to their senses quickly followed up. Zhao Shan, who meant to put the silver needles away first only finished his job before catching them up. Another messy day began.
