Chapter 784: Sudden Upheaval!
Chapter 784: Sudden Upheaval!
"Bang, bang, bang!"
At this moment, there came a dull sound from outside. Li Qingmu frowned slightly. Who was knocking on the door?
He could naturally tell that it was the sound of someone banging on the door.
He pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the door.
"Mu’er, Mu’er, are you inside?"
Li Qingmu was stunned. It was actually his mother, Rong Si?
"Your son is here. Mother, is there something you need?"
Li Qingmu knocked on the door and said.
There was a moment of silence outside, then Rong Si coldly said, "What are you doing in there? Hurry up and get out!"
The tone was fiery with anger.
Mother has lost her temper!
Li Qingmu had no choice but to go out.
After going out, he saw Rong Si’s cold face.
"Mother, I was just..."
"Humph!" Li Qingmu had only managed to say half of what he intended when Rong Si interrupted with a cold snort, "Did I not tell you to stop researching the cultivation technique for now? Why don’t you listen? Do you not know that being stubborn like this can bring you danger?"
Knowing that his mother was worried about him, Li Qingmu smiled, "Mother, I am aware of the risks, it will not be dangerous!"
His tone was soft, which comforted Rong Si somewhat.
"Alright, for the next few days, just focus on attending court, and don’t worry about anything else!"
"Yes, Mother!" After a pause, he added, "Then... is it alright if I go to see Lady Ming Fei and Princess Consort Jing?"
Hearing him finally mention something serious, Rong Si smiled and nodded, "Of course! They are both due to give birth soon, as their father, you should visit them frequently."
Li Qingmu nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Princess, Princess!"
Suddenly, an eunuch came rushing over, looking panicked as if something major had happened. He hurried over and, upon seeing Li Qingmu, greeted him, and said, "Princess, Your Majesty, Princess Consort Jing is going into labor!"
"Oh!"
"Ah?"
The mother and son uttered different sounds. Li Qingmu seemed nonchalant, while Rong Si exclaimed in surprise.
After all, the child would be born soon, adding another member to the Rong Imperial Family!
However, seeing Li Qingmu’s indifferent attitude, Rong Si was displeased, "Mu’er, quickly come with Mother to see Princess Consort Jing!"
"Hmm!"
Although Li Qingmu didn’t particularly want to go to Princess Consort Jing’s side, he had to agree.
Afterward, the two of them went to Jingshu Palace.
By this time, Jingshu Palace was already crowded with people—Imperial Physicians, midwives, palace maids, eunuchs...
Even the Empress and Princess Consort De were there; it was indeed packed.
After all, only Long Yue and Princess Consort Jing were pregnant in the entire Da Liang Palace, so they naturally drew a lot of attention.
"Hot water, quick, prepare hot water!"
"Towels!"
"Doctor Wen, please come in to check the pulse..."
"..."
When Li Qingmu arrived, this was the scene he encountered.
The place was bustling, with everyone so busy that their feet barely touched the ground.
Rong Si anxiously stood outside the delivery room, watching people come and go, feeling a little anxious herself.
At this moment, Wen Jingzhong came out, and she hurriedly asked, "How is it?"
"Don’t worry, Princess. Although Princess Consort Jing has been frail since childhood, her mood has been good recently, and the baby’s position is right, it won’t be long now!"
"Lady Ming Fei has also arrived!"
Just when the delivery was reaching a crucial point, Long Yue came to Jingshu Palace with her big belly.
Li Qingmu, seeing his young wife arriving, quickly went over to ask, "Why are you here? How’s your pulse recently?"
"It’s fine, probably still a few more days?"
Long Yue herself was uncertain. The pulse indicated there was still some time, yet she couldn’t help feeling that it was almost time.
"What is it?"
Seeing Long Yue’s furrowed brow, Li Qingmu’s eyes narrowed, sensing she was hiding something from him.
"Nothing... nothing!"
Long Yue gently shook her head, signaling him not to worry.
But this man was too smart; with just a look, he could understand many things.
"After Princess Consort Jing gives birth, it will be our child’s turn!"
He tightly held Long Yue’s small hand, making her feel warm.
"Hmm!"
She responded softly, then suddenly!
"Wah, wah, wah..."
From inside came the loud cries of a newborn.
Long Yue and Li Qingmu exchanged a look and both smiled, but the one who smiled the brightest was Yang Shiqi.
This fellow was stationed outside guarding, but he stared unblinkingly inside, and upon hearing the child’s cries, Long Yue felt he was about to jump with joy.
She glanced at Li Qingmu and said, "When you found out you were going to be a father, how did it feel?"
"I don’t know..."
Li Qingmu was taken aback and couldn’t articulate how it felt to become a father?
"Maybe... happy?"
In fact, his first thought at the time was that this child would be competing with him for his wife’s attention.
But now it seemed that he was still with his young wife, and Rui’er was with his grandpa in Dazhou, which wasn’t too bad.
Long Yue looked at him with disdain, fully aware of his thoughts.
Jealous of his own son, quite remarkable.
However, being so valued by someone, her heart was ultimately sweet.
Suddenly, Long Yue felt a sharp pain in her abdomen that quickly passed. Her face went pale, and she hurriedly nudged the man beside her: "A Mu, I feel... it’s almost time for me too."
Long Yue’s words left Li Qingmu momentarily stunned, so soon?
"Not immediately, but... soon, maybe in a few days."
Li Qingmu’s gaze shifted slightly, "Okay, I understand!"
"Mu’er!" Rong Si came out holding the newborn, stood before him, "Quickly, come hold your son, it’s a Prince! Princess Consort Jing’s womb was really fortunate to give our Rong Imperial Family a boy right away. Oh, Lady Ming Fei, you’re soon too, right?"
Long Yue nodded, "Yes, but I got pregnant later than my sister, so... it should be a little while longer."
"Alright, then be careful, if you feel unwell, immediately call for an Imperial Physician!"
"Thank you, Princess."
Long Yue gave a slight curtsy and saw Rong Si beckoning her over: "I heard you have a good relationship with Princess Consort Jing, come see her child."
Long Yue smiled and went over to hold the little one.
All babies are like this, chubby and tender, looking very endearing.
After holding the child for a while, Long Yue handed him back to Rong Si, with her belly being so big now; she didn’t have much strength to hold babies.
"Princess, Your Majesty, I’m feeling a bit unwell. May I return now?"
"Sure, go rest!"
Rong Si responded gently.
Long Yue smiled softly, rose, and left.
However, as she reached the backyard, suddenly, the sky seemed to darken, and a black shadow appeared out of nowhere, enveloping Long Yue in an instant.
"Your Majesty..."
Long Yue exclaimed softly, and her whole person vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Lady Ming Fei!"
"Lady Ming Fei!"
"Yan’er!"
Li Qingmu rushed out, attempting to chase the shadow, but it came too quickly and suddenly, and he couldn’t catch up!
Li Qingmu’s face turned livid with tension!
Because the shadow that abducted Long Yue was not Broken Jade!
