The old women stammered, their expressions looked as if they had seen a ghost, and were so scared that they could not speak. The hearts of the Second and Third Madams immediately sank to the bottom.
Needless to say, Wei An immediately asked in a cold voice: "What happened?"
She had arranged everything before she left. The old doctor and the midwife were already waiting in the house, in case Princess Zheng suddenly became ill and they would not be able to handle it.
There were trusted guards of Prince Zheng guarding outside. Everyone knew that the male owner of Prince Zheng's mansion was not at home, and the gates were heavily guarded, so no one would be so ignorant as to come.
What kind of incident had happened that caused the main door of the mansion to be wide open and into chaos
The old women looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word. They all knelt on the ground and trembled.
Lan He couldn't help it anymore, so she stepped forward and grabbed a woman, and said angrily: "The princess is asking you questions, are you all deaf?"
She was usually a straightforward person, and after working with Wei An for a long time, she liked people who were quick and decisive in what they said and did. These old women clearly had something going on, but they didn't say anything and kept hiding it, which was annoying.
The old woman swallowed her saliva and waved her hands hastily. She looked at Wei An, then at the Third Madam and the Second Madam, before lowering her head and saying, "The Imperial Guards... The Imperial Guards are here..."
The second and third wives looked at each other and couldn't help but be shocked.
Although many imperial censors have recently written letters to impeach the Wei family, Prince Zheng and Shen Chen, the emperor has kept those letters and has not published them, which shows that he has no plans to deal with the Wei family and Prince Zheng and still trusts Prince Zheng.
Moreover, the news of sending the Xie family to Beijing for trial has only been out for a short time. Logically speaking, they must wait until everything is over, or at least wait until there is movement and confession from the Xie family, before they will cause trouble for the Wei family and King Zheng.
How come it's only been one day and Jinyiwei has come to visit Prince Zheng's mansion? !
Prince Zheng was the most beloved of the princes by Emperor Longqing. From the very beginning, Emperor Longqing trusted him very much and was much closer to him than to other princes.
The second and third wives were left in panic, but Wei An frowned but remained calm. He hummed and ordered calmly, "Did the Royal Guards enter the backyard? Did they disturb the princess's delivery?"
The maids all looked at her, paused and shook their heads hesitantly: "I didn't go into the backyard, I just sent someone in to tell the princess that I wanted to go into the prince's study to take a look."
Check King Zheng’s study
King Zheng is not in the palace, what can they find out
Wei An took a deep breath and smiled coldly: "If that's the case, then why are you so anxious? The sky hasn't fallen yet, so just do your job honestly. At worst, you still have your superiors to support you, don't you agree?"
Yes or no?!
Everyone knew that Wei An was warning them, and they didn't dare to say no. They all agreed and retreated hurriedly and orderly.
The second and third wives frowned and hurried towards Zheng Yuan, the wife of Princess Zheng, with Wei An. They couldn't help asking, "Why did the Jinyiwei suddenly come to our house?"
Wei An himself didn't know the whole story, so he had to quickly go to the main courtyard while comforting them: "No matter what it is, at least the emperor didn't let the Jinyiwei directly break into the backyard to disturb the princess. This shows that the emperor has no intention of killing everyone and still left room... In any case, now is not the time to discuss these things. We will consider these things later. Now let's go to the princess first..."
Nothing is more important than Princess Zheng and the child now.
King Zheng is about to come back. After losing his young Mingyu, he has been alone and has to rely on himself for everything. He has been living a hard life these years.
As for her daughter, firstly, they had not been together for too long, and secondly, they recognized each other too late. After they recognized each other, she wanted to get married immediately. As a result, she spent less and less time with her father.
She felt better with Princess Zheng and the children accompanying him.
If this child and Princess Zheng were to go through the same tragedy as Ming Yuyou, she didn't know how King Zheng would be able to survive.
The Second and Third Ladies ran with her as fast as they could, and finally they arrived at Princess Zheng's main courtyard, where they saw the old women and maids coming in and out.
Although people were coming and going in the yard, everyone's face was pale, and it looked like a silent tomb.
The second and third wives subconsciously felt something was wrong, and quickly followed Wei An into the yard, only to see An Xin, who was beside Princess Zheng, running out in a panic: "Go and get the doctor! The princess is not well..."
The second and third wives' hearts skipped a beat and they no longer cared about anything else. They climbed the stairs and entered the delivery room.
The delivery room had been arranged long ago, and there was a faint fragrance in it, which concealed the blood in the delivery room very well. The second and third wives were a little overwhelmed when they entered the room. They choked and saw Princess Zheng on the bed.
Princess Zheng's hair was soaked with sweat, and she couldn't even open her eyes. The third lady stepped forward to support her, took the handkerchief from the maid, and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She turned her head and looked at her, frowning and exclaiming: "Princess, relax, don't be too nervous, save your strength..."
Princess Zheng held her wrists with both hands, her face pale as if she were a fish out of water. It took her a while to find the strength to speak: "Madam... is there something wrong outside?"
She knew that the maids' private whispers had not escaped her ears. It was precisely because of hearing such news that she became so anxious that her breathing became disordered and she felt as if there were several knives twisting in her stomach.
The Second Madam also came to her. After hearing what she said, her face became more solemn, but she still tried to comfort her: "Princess, don't worry, everything is fine outside. Look, we have just come in, haven't we? It's not a big deal. It's not worth it for Princess to worry about it. The most important thing is to take care of your health first..."
The Third Lady also nodded: "Second Sister-in-law is right. Even if you don't see the prince coming back soon, you still care about the young master..."
The midwife was also very anxious. She was sweating as she watched them. "Princess...Princess, her cervix is still only one finger dilated... From morning till now, it's still only one finger dilated..."
If the fingers are not opened, Princess Zheng will have used up all her strength and it is very likely that something dangerous will happen, which may even result in two deaths!
The third lady was really anxious now, and couldn't say anything for a long time. (To be continued)
