He walked out of the garden.
I stared at the empty table. This pregnancy of Chu Kong is strange. I’ll go and ask a doctor, let him gave her some medicine that’s good for a pregnant woman…….
Princess is busy doing things outside, the general need to make him feel at peace on the inside. After all, we have a working relationship now.
After the meal, I went to the physician who lives inside the manor. Physician Zhang is a middle-aged man. He seems a little trifling and he seemed to be afraid of death. From the moment I entered his room, he has been shivering. I asked while frowning: “Did you recently go to check the princess’s pulse?”
Physician Zhang shivered uncontrollably: “Answering the general, since the last time the princess…….was poisoned, she no longer lets me check her pulse and the medicine also has been returned.”
“Nonsense, “I shouted angrily. “Forget about the princess being capricious. You helped her and did not report to me!”
If it delayed Chu Kong’s labour, I fear that I no longer can see this kind of adventure!
Physician Zhan was scared and kowtowed: “General, forgive me! General, forgive me!”
I saw him shivering pitifully and let him stand up to answer. I told him the symptoms that Chu Kong has told me. I haven’t even asked him when he knelt again with a “putong” sound. His body is now shivering more powerful. I wondered: “I didn’t bully you. What are you afraid of? Stand up.”
“I don’t dare! I don’t dare!”
Seeing him like that, I got angry and snapped: “Stand up! Say everything you know!”
Physician Zhang attached his head on the floor. With trembling voice he said: “I……I think that this symptom of the princess, I fear……I fear that in princess’ belly is a stillbirth.”
I blinked. I didn’t get the meaning f those words.
“Say that again.”
I squatted down and let my ear be beside his mouth.
“Louder.”
“Princess……princess is pregnant with…….with a stillbirth.”
I listened to it carefully. I stood up and felt a little dizzy. Physician Zhang said while trembling gain: “General, general, if we don’t let the fetus come out quickly, it’ll cause great harm to the mother! If it isn’t done properly, the princess will also……”
My heart felt cold. I grabbed physician Zhang’s hand and went to the residence of Chu Kong.
Let stillbirth be stillbirth. Can’t see Chu Kong go into labor is alright, but if he dies……
My heart felt some inexplicable panic. If he’s dead, with what will I play with?
I hurriedly rushed to Chu Kong’s chamber. His maid was evasive and refused to tell me where Chu Kong is. I was so angry that fire was nearly forming. Suddenly, I remembered that he told me that in the afternoon he was going to test Xinyun lady. At this time he must be at Xinyun’s. I grabbed the physician again, let Chu Yi prepare a carriage and hurriedly rushed to Xinyun.
Xinyun lives in a small house on the west of the city. This was especially arranged by the general. The carriage stopped in front of the door. I jumped out. Suddenly, in the yard I can hear Chu Kong’s gasp: “Damn…..”
His voice was tight. He seemed in unbearable pain.
Chu Yi frowned. He must be surprised that the haughty and proud Qingling princess will also curse.
And now I’m too busy to care that our identity will be discovered. I thought that something must’ve happened inside. I took two steps, kicked the door open and went straight inside.
I was shocked to see the scene inside. Three men in black were standing inside. One of them was grabbing Xinyun’s armpit. She seemed to have suffered light injuries.
Chu Kong was squatting on the ground. His whole forehead was full of cold sweat. He was really pale. A large gorgeous skirt was spread over the ground. Two maids were lying beside Chu Kong. I don’t know if they have fainted or if they are on the road to the netherworld.
With my sudden appearance the men were scared. The three men glanced at each other.
The word “run” fell out, something exploded. Everywhere was dust. The Chu Yi beside me didn’t wait for the dust to settle and went to catch up with them. In a blink of eye, I didn’t know where he went to. I didn’t have the desire to care about who these people are. I ran towards Chu Kong. I patted his face, letting him be conscious.
“Hey, how are you? Injured? Where are you injured?”
Chu Kong grabbed my hand tightly. He couldn’t spit one complete word out. I listened to each carefully for half a day and still didn’t understand. He began to roll his eyes uncontrolled. The broken pieces that came out of his mouth finally gave two relatively clear words: “Given……birth….”
My head was blank for a moment. I didn’t care about anything else and hugged him. The wide skirt below him was in blood and blood was still flowing out in and unimaginable speed. It’s my first time experiencing such a scene; I was scared that I began to tremble. I said in panic: “Chu Kong this isn’t right! How come you giving birth is like menstruating…….this isn’t right!”
Physician Zhang, who was hiding outside seemed like he couldn’t stand it anymore. He ran to me and looked at Chu Kong and said in panic: “General, it’s a dead fetus. The fetus has flown out! Cannot let the princess continue to bleed. Must stop the bleeding!”
Among the panic, I asked: “How how how to stop the bleeding? Blocking it? With what does it need to be blocked? Rolling pin?”
The physician hasn’t given me an answer yet, when Chu Kong who I thought has fainted suddenly grabbed my hand. He stared at me fiercely: “You dare to be reckless……try!”
I was so anxious that I’m about to cry. My eyes were red and my nose is sore and sour.
“Then what do you do. Does it hurt? What do I need to do? What do you want me to do?!”
Chu Kong seeing me like that was a bit surprised: “It’s just…..one reincarnation…….”
How can I not understand what he said? The purpose of our lives in this world is just a reincarnation, but every reincarnation is unique. If we missed it, it’ll not exist again.
Humans are fragile. That’s why they cherish it more. Perhaps I and Chu Kong will never understand the fear of death, but at this moment I knew that he miscarried a life. Helplessly watching a life slowly went through the passage of human life……
I cannot be unafraid. I cannot stop trembling. Gods have little feelings; maybe it’s because there are only a few matters that concerns them.
