Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2194

Ling Lan turned pale with fear, even saying she dared not. She was now only a second-class maid, lower than Xiao Tang, and had to obey Xiao Tang's orders in everything.

They were all people who entered the mansion at the same time... She was unwilling, but she had no choice.

The young lady was seven months pregnant and her belly was already very big. Sometimes she couldn't sleep all night and was always nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Fortunately, Xiaotang knew some massage techniques and acupressure points. Whenever the young lady was in great pain, she would only need to apply some pressure to relieve the pain.

Aunt Xiang thought to herself that Xiaotang was a treasure.

The young lady was also grateful and gave her a jade bracelet as a reward.

The bracelet wasn't top-tier, but it was still valuable. Xiaotang accepted it and served her even more attentively.

One day, Aunt Xiang went out for a walk and came back empty-handed.

She had gone out to buy some fresh vegetables, but she didn't buy any and her face was filled with worry.

She sent the two maids out, closed the door, and whispered to the young lady, "Madam, how about we...tell the truth to Master Qiu?"

The young lady was clever, "But what rumors did you hear outside?"

Aunt Xiang didn't hide it, "It's rumored that Mr. Qiu and a woman named Rong hit it off right away, and they're planning to get married."

The young lady was stunned for a long while before a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips. "Isn't that great?"

"What's so good about that, my princess!" Aunt Xiang slapped the edge of the bed. "I heard that the woman surnamed Rong was married before, but the marriage was divorced."

"Having been married before, and even divorced, doesn't that make it seem even more obvious that Lord Qiu has made up his mind?" The young lady remained unmoved, but instead remembered something. "From now on, don't call me Princess. In the kingdoms of Xiliang and Beiyi, what kind of princess am I?"

"Oh!" Aunt Xiang sighed, "I understand, young lady."

"Call me Madam," the young lady thought for a moment. "Go find a man. He should be of good character, well-spoken, and… not too outstanding, but not too ugly. He'll be about my age."

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"I've lived here for over half a year, and my husband has never shown up. It's just not right." The young lady had a plan in mind. "When I give birth, I'll have a man pretend to be my husband and show up in this alley. That'll be it. After I give birth, my husband will go out to do business."

Aunt Xiang was worried, "Are you really not going to find Mr. Qiu? Your belly..."

"This is my child, he doesn't need to know." The young lady insisted, "Madam Xiang, please don't mention this matter again from now on, okay?"

"Oh! Good." It felt like a pity. Aunt Xiang was dejected, and when she looked up, she saw Xiaotang hurried over.

Xiao Tang said, "I need to go out and buy some Chinese yams and wrap them in cotton cloth so that I can massage Madam's calves at night. Her legs are very swollen."

"Go ahead. When you come back, ask Aunt Zhang, the vegetable seller at the corner of the alley, to pick out some fresh vegetables for you."

Xiaotang responded and went out.

On the bluestone steps at the corner of the street, a handsome man with clear eyebrows and eyes stood there, the corners of his moon-white robe swaying in the wind.

Xiao Tang stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Master Qiu."

The man's face was covered in dust, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry. "Is she... in danger?"

Xiao Tang knelt down and said in a deep voice, "Yes. The tentacled fetus is in a reversed position, and I'm afraid it will be born sideways and raised in reverse. I'm afraid Madam Meng needs to personally turn the fetus around and slowly massage it back into the right position, only then will there be a glimmer of hope."

The man's eyes darkened, and he clenched his fists unconsciously. After a long pause, he spoke, "I understand. Go back and wait on me. I'll make the arrangements."

The man turned and went to the Liang Palace.

In a hurry, he had to seek help. This person was Qiu Zhiyan.
