On the other side, Li Ping and the Li family also hurried towards the gate, which was only faster than when they followed Ji Yuan to the backyard before.
When they arrived at the main entrance, Li Ping, who had walked twice quickly and even jogged, was already sweating all over his face. The old lady of the Li family was not too far behind and hurriedly caught up while Li Ping was tidying up his clothes.
After they tidied their clothes and roughly wiped the sweat off their faces with handkerchiefs, they walked from the side to the door. At first glance, they saw an old monk with a kind face standing outside the door. The old monk was wearing a red robe with gold thread, holding a rosary and chanting with his eyes slightly lowered.
"Master..."
The servant at the door bowed and wanted to say something, but Li Ping raised his hand to stop him. Then he glanced at his old mother and concubine behind him, slightly lifted the hem of his clothes, stepped over the threshold and slowly walked outside, until he came down the stairs and was two steps away from the old monk.
"I, the humble commoner Liping, pay my respects to the great state master!" "I, a humble commoner, pay my respects to the great state master!"
Under the leadership of Li Ping, everyone in the Li family, including the servants, bowed and paid homage to the old monk.
Only then did the old monk raise his head and look at the people from the Li family.
"Good be to the Great Ming King Buddha, Lord Li and all the believers, please get up quickly. I am Mo Yun, and I have come from the capital. The emperor asked me to treat your wife's illness."
"Your Majesty, you still remember me. Your Majesty... I am just a commoner, but I am grateful for Your Majesty's kindness. I would never repay you with my life!"
Li Ping was very emotional. He bowed repeatedly in the direction of the capital, then wiped his face with his sleeve, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the old monk.
"Master Imperial Master, now that you are here, my wife and child can be saved..."
As he spoke, Liping quickly called a servant and gave him instructions.
"Quick, ask the kitchen to prepare some more vegetarian dishes."
"yes!"
Monk Mo Yun was still reciting scriptures at this moment, but his eyes were also observing the situation in the Li Mansion. He saw that the aura of the Li family was extremely magnificent, especially the vigorous and warm aura of their descendants. He was afraid that the child would be very extraordinary. Monk Mo Yun had thought it was false when he heard the emperor say that Madam Li had been pregnant for three years, but now it seemed somewhat credible.
"Master Imperial Master, please follow me into the palace. I will first arrange accommodation for you."
"No hurry, let's go see Madam Ling first. The Emperor has told me to protect your wife and children."
Li Ping quickly bowed down again.
"Master Imperial Master, please be merciful and follow me! Please!"
Li Ping led the way in front, and the old monk followed slowly. This time the speed was very normal, and everyone didn't need to hurry.
When they were still some distance away from the courtyard where his wife was, Li Ping seemed to have just remembered something, and he slapped his head and said to the old monk beside him.
"Oh, Master Imperial Master, I have been looking for famous doctors and experts to treat my wife. Right now, there is an expert in my wife's room checking on her condition. Master Imperial Master, please don't be offended."
The old monk had his eyes drooped and kept holding his rosary as he chanted. After a while, he answered kindly.
"No problem."
Li Ping felt relieved but then he thought of something and signaled to the guard commander beside him with his eyes. The latter understood and left quickly.
Madam Li's personal maid had already carefully wiped her tears. At this moment, the commander of the guards quickly came to Madam Li's house and courtyard, then looked around at the door before slowing down and going in. He had only heard rumors about the national teacher and was not sure of the facts. The one standing in front of him was probably a real god, so he dared not neglect him.
"Mr. Ji, the holy monk Mo Yun is here. He is the imperial teacher of our dynasty and has been ordered to treat Madam. He is here to check on Madam's condition. Is it convenient for him?"
Ji Yuan looked back at the guard commander, nodded and said nothing. The latter was relieved to see that this expert did not have any negative emotions.
After the guard leader left, Ji Yuan continued to look at the woman.
"Mrs. Li, have you calmed down a bit?"
"Well! I cried and lost control just now, and I made you laugh..."
"It's okay. I know you are in great pain. Here, eat the flesh and hold the core in your mouth."
As he spoke, Ji Yuan had already taken out a large green and red date from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Li.
"This is, dates?"
The dates were very big and looked great. Mrs. Li, who had lost her appetite and had to force-feed herself, swallowed her saliva when she saw the dates and subconsciously stretched out her weak hand to take them.
Ji Yuan signaled the maid who wanted to help not to do it, and stuffed the dates into Madam Li's hand. The latter held the dates and felt a slight warmth, then put them to her mouth and took a bite.
“Crack~”
As the crisp sound rang out between Mrs. Li's teeth, a refreshing fragrance wafted out from the broken dates, causing the maidservant beside her to swallow her saliva frequently while looking at the dates.
“So sweet, so crispy…”
Mrs. Li didn't know where she got the strength from, but she finished the egg-sized date in just a few bites. As she chewed the flesh and swallowed it, she immediately felt a warmth and freshness spread through her body. The heavy burden and pain seemed to be relieved a lot, and the date pit still had a hint of sweetness and freshness in her mouth.
Mrs. Li's complexion became visibly redder. Although she was still very thin, she surprisingly did not look as scary anymore.
"Thank you sir, I feel much better!"
"Um."
Ji Yuan responded casually, looking at Mrs. Li's belly with his dark eyes, thinking in his heart how to make the baby be born in a relatively safe way.
After observing for such a long time, Ji Yuan figured out some more clues. Although the fetus gave him an ominous feeling, it was instinctively protecting its mother, otherwise the woman would have been sucked dry long ago.
Of course, all this could also be because if the fetus is too large, she would have no support, but at least Ji Yuan would rather think positively.
"Master, please, my wife is in the room!"
Li Ping's voice came from outside first, then he entered the house and bowed to Ji Yuan first.
"Mr. Ji, our imperial master, the holy monk Mo Yun, has arrived."
As he spoke, Li Ping turned his head and pointed to Monk Mo Yun in the direction of Ji Yuan.
"Master Imperial Master, this is Mr. Ji, the expert who is here to treat my wife."
"Hello, Master."
Ji Yuan nodded to the national teacher, who responded by chanting the Buddha's name.
"Good, hello, Mr. Ji."
However, in the monk's mind, Mr. Ji was probably a person who was seeking fame and reputation. After all, he looked like an ordinary man inside and out. But he did not expose him in person to embarrass him.
However, in Ji Yuan's eyes, the old monk's power and divine light were still relatively clear.
After the two of them exchanged politeness, the old monk used his Dharma eyes to look at Mrs. Li, nodded slightly at her complexion, then looked at her abdomen. His eyes lit up slightly, and he subconsciously took a few steps closer.
"What a good pregnancy! This child is destined to be extraordinary!"
The Li family was naturally very happy to hear what the National Master said, but Li Ping was not confused. He looked at Ji Yuan with worry and then at the National Master.
"The Li family is naturally happy about what the Imperial Master said, but my wife is already too weak, and the fetus has not shown any signs of being born yet. What should we do?"
"Hmm? Although Madam Ling is thin, she looks good. As long as she takes enough food and medicine, she will be able to replenish her vitality."
Looking great
Li Ping and Madam Li were stunned for a moment, then they walked closer to take a look at the woman on the bed. The latter had a calm expression, showing no signs of pain, and her complexion was also rosy.
The woman still had a date pit in her mouth, and she didn't care about the object in her mouth and spoke strangely, speaking softly.
"Master, it was Mr. Ji who gave me medicine to save me. I feel better now. I was in great pain just now."
As the woman spoke, the strange fragrance of the date pits in her mouth spread out, which lifted the spirits of those who smelled it and even made the old monk look sideways. The strange fragrance in the woman's mouth was so special and its charm lingered without dissipating. In addition to being inhaled into the nasal cavity, it would also return to the woman's mouth and be swallowed with the saliva. It was by no means a simple thing.
Ji Yuan specially picked out this date because it was heavy enough, and he had pierced the pit long ago, allowing the special spiritual energy inside to flow out slowly.
The old monk's mind raced and he immediately grasped the key. He turned to face Ji Yuan, clasped his hands together, and bowed down.
"I am a humble monk who cannot recognize a great master. I hope you can forgive me. Good Lord, Great Ming Wang Buddha!"
Ji Yuan bowed slightly.
"Master, there is no need to be so offensive."
The Li family members looked at each other and did not dare to speak, but the excitement in their hearts deepened a lot. The commander of the guards on the side thought to himself that this gentleman was indeed more capable, although he did not know why the national teacher did not figure it out at the beginning.
"How do you plan to help Madam Li, sir?"
Ji Yuan looked at the people from the Li family. The old monk understood what he meant and turned around and said.
"Master Li, Madam Li, I need to discuss something with the master. You can leave first. It is enough to leave a maid to take care of Madam Li."
"Well, I'll go out first..."
Li Ping and the others certainly wanted to stay, but they had to obey. Not to mention the other party's identity as an immortal or Buddha, even the position of the Imperial Master was enough to overwhelm people.
After everyone left, Lao He looked at Ji Yuan again and asked in a low voice.
"Sir, is this matter of the fetus very difficult?"
Since the other party was so powerful that Mo Yun initially mistook him for a mortal, and since he was frowning and thinking just now, and had used a magic medicine on the woman, it must be that the fetus was in trouble.
"Well, the fetus in this belly is too strong, it's already very dangerous. We can't delay it for too long. It's best if it can be born early, otherwise it will be dangerous. And I see that the Li family focuses on protecting the young rather than the older. Madam Li..."
“Woo… Woo…”
When Ji Yuan said this, the fetus in Mrs. Li's belly actually made a few sounds through her belly. Two small hand prints appeared on her bulging belly. The strong fetal energy even created a layer of light smoke in Mrs. Li's abdomen.
“Woooooo… woooo…”
The smoke formed the shape of a fetus and made two crying sounds before rising up.
Ji Yuan and the old monk were watching this scene seriously, while Madam Li and her personal maid were holding each other's hands, huddled together in fear.
"Ah... Ah... Uh... Sir, Sir, my stomach hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
Mrs. Li, who was fine just now, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She grabbed the maid's arm tightly and began to struggle.
"Madam? Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Yuan and the old monk walked to the bedside. The former stretched out his hand and pointed in front of the woman's body, sealing her vital points with spiritual energy.
"About to give birth? Why now?"
When the old monk said this, Ji Yuan narrowed his eyes and seemed to think of a possibility. Perhaps it was because of his date that Mrs. Li's condition improved and she was not unable to give birth.

PS: I recommend a book called "Restarting Life in 2001" written by a friend. It is a new work by a new author. Although the subject matter is old, it should be okay. It's just that it was published in a hurry, resulting in poor results.
