Chapter 547 Death and Rebirth

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

In the 11th year of Zhenguan, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, at the end of midwinter, the world is extremely cold, this day is destined to be an unusual day,
In the middle of the night, in the Lizheng Hall of the Taiji Palace, the empress Changsun, who had been dragging her life away for more than two days with the world's most precious medicinal materials, finally gave up and returned, and drove west.

With the trombone of "Queen's Funeral" in the palace, the death of Empress Changsun was settled, and the palace was full of plains. At the same time, the Chu Palace in Yankangfang was bustlingly busy.

Ever since the night fell, Princess Wu Meiniang of Chu had a sudden abdominal pain, and Wu Meiniang's delivery date was just a few days away, so Wu Meiniang's sudden abdominal pain was naturally about to give birth.

Wu Meiniang felt a pain in her stomach, and the entire Chu Palace was no longer quiet. All the servants in the inner courtyard got up and got busy inside and out.

In the inner room, Wu Meiniang has been crying for pain, and the midwife Wen has been in the room for a while, and Li Ke is anxious outside the room, walking back and forth anxiously, but can't help at all.

"Your Highness, don't shake back and forth anymore. The princess is giving birth in the house. It's useless for you to be in a hurry. Stand still and rest quickly. The shaking is annoying." Li Ke stood outside the delivery room, his legs resting, a stick of incense After a lot of time, he had already walked back and forth in front of the door dozens of times. Dan'er, who was already impatient, was dazzled by the daze, and finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said to Li Ke.

Li Ke is the head of the family, no one else can say anything about him, and they dare not say anything about him, and only Dan'er, a confidant servant who has followed Li Ke for many years and is not afraid of Li Ke's crimes, can talk about him.

Li Ke said: "I don't want to be in such a hurry. There is no way out. I really can't help."

Dan'er said: "Your Highness, as a man, can't help you with matters in the delivery room. It's just that His Highness can't help, but he's still wandering here, blocking the way in and out of the room, adding to the chaos."

Li Ke has a noble status, and no one in the house dared to bump into him. Therefore, when Li Ke was pacing back and forth outside the door, everyone who was busy inside and outside the delivery room, whether they were serving hot water or holding cloth, had to You have to avoid Li Ke, and it's inconvenient to get in and out.

Hearing this, Li Ke realized that he was walking back and forth outside the door blocking the way for the servant girl in the mansion to come in and out, scratched his head, and backed out.

Dan'er walked up to Li Ke with a handkerchief in her hand, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from Li Ke's forehead, and said to Li Ke: "It's freezing cold. Why are you still sweating? The princess is auspicious, Your Highness, don't worry too much." Too worried."

Li Ke was born in the army, and he is used to big scenes. In front of the battle between the two armies, thousands of people are fighting, Li Ke can still deal with it calmly, but outside this small delivery room today, Li Ke is restless and anxious. Ants on a pot.

Li Ke was a little excited, but more worried. After all, although Wu Meiniang had always been in good health, how could Li Ke not worry about giving birth at a young age.

Like this, Li Ke clenched his fists and waited restlessly outside the room for more than an hour. Finally, he heard a baby crying in the room, and the door of the delivery room opened slowly.

"How?" Li Ke watched the door of the delivery room open, and the midwife Wen Po came out of the room. Li Ke asked quickly.

Wen Po smiled, leaned over and congratulated Li Ke: "Congratulations, Your Highness, the mother and child are safe, and the princess has added a little son to the Chu Palace."

When Li Ke heard this, a smile overflowed his face, and he immediately said: "Okay, very good, I will invite Mrs. Wen down, and I will give you a big reward!"

After Li Ke finished speaking, Wen Po, who was in front of him, was about to enter the house to visit Wu Meiniang and his newborn eldest son.

But just when Li Ke was about to step into the room, before he could enter, he was stopped by the woman who was busy at the door. The woman said: "Your Highness, stop, men are not allowed to enter the delivery room. There is a lot of blood in it, I'm afraid it rushed to His Highness, His Highness should wait until it's cleaned up before entering."

Li Ke waved his hands and said: "It's okay, my king joined the army as a young man, and with a single gesture, thousands of lives could be lost. Ghosts and gods have changed, how can this blood hurt this king."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he entered the house by himself regardless of the dissuasion of others.

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

"Meiniang, you've worked hard." Li Ke went inside, sat down beside Wu Meiniang's bed, looked at the pale Wu Meiniang, held Wu Meiniang's cold hand, and said softly.

It was freezing outside, Wu Meiniang felt the warmth from Li Ke's palm, and laughed at Li Ke: "Your Highness is hardworking, listen to the servant girl, His Highness must be in a hurry outside."

Li Ke said with a smile: "I listened to the movement in the house, so I am not worried, but fortunately, Mei Niang is an auspicious person, and she has God's blessing."

Wu Meiniang smiled, stretched out her hand, and said to the mother-in-law who was holding the child, "Can you hold the child for me?"

The mother-in-law said: "It's okay to be hugged by the princess, but I'm afraid that the princess is weak and lacks strength, so don't drop your highness."

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

Li Ke said, raised his hand, took the child from the mother-in-law's hand, hugged it in his arms, and showed it in front of Wu Meiniang's eyes.

Wu Meiniang looked at the child and said to Li Ke: "The outline of this child is similar to that of San Lang, and he will be as heroic as San Lang in the future."

Li Ke looked at the child in his arms. Although his eyebrows hadn't even grown yet, he could tell that the child in his arms was quite similar to himself. Li Ke smiled and said, "That's natural, he is my king's son." The eldest son will succeed me in the future."

Wu Meiniang asked: "Has Your Highness ever chosen a name for the child?"

Li Ke thought for a while, and said: "This is our eldest son. If you want to name it, it's better to ask the father to pick it. It happens that I will enter the palace tomorrow, so I asked the father at that time."

Asking Li Shimin to name the eldest son is not only to show Li Shimin's nobility and solemnity, but also to see Li Shimin's thoughts and attitudes towards this child and the entire Chu Palace. Wu Meiniang also guessed Li Ke's thoughts after thinking about it.

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

Wu Meiniang gave birth and added a heir to the palace of Chu, which is naturally a good thing. Li Ke was overjoyed and rewarded everyone. Although it was late at night, there was still joy inside and outside the palace.

But when the whole king of Chu was getting lively because of the birth of the young son, there was a servant in the palace, led by Xue Rengui, rushing straight to the inner courtyard, begging to see Li Ke.

At this time, the palace gates are closed, and it is difficult to get news from inside and outside the palace. Although the addition of a son in the Chu Palace is a major event, it will never disturb the opening of the palace gate at night. At this time, there should be no news of Li Ke's son in the Taiji Palace. Well, the servant came here to congratulate him.

As soon as Li Ke heard that there was a servant in the palace asking to see him, his heart trembled suddenly, and he vaguely guessed something. Sure enough, a moment later, the servant in the palace just entered the door, and he hurriedly said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, the Queen's funeral, Your Majesty is urgently calling everyone Princes and princes enter 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, their hearts were still unavoidably shaken.

Wu Meiniang and Li Ke looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes. Wu Meiniang hurriedly said to Li Ke: "Sanlang is not needed for this matter, and Sanlang will go to the palace quickly."
