Chapter 26

Chu Kong was blushing on that side, but he didnt hide from me. Slowly, he walked towards us. I drank a cup of wine and looked at everyones expression. Xinyun leaned closer to me with a look of panic. Chu Yi was more nervous than I. Quietly, he went over to Xinyuns side as if hes afraid that when Chu Kong get here, Chu Kongll kill her. The expressions of the maids behind Chu Kong were resentful. Only Chu Kong seemed indifferent. With a raised chin, he stood proudly before me. His face was a bit pale. Presumably the pregnancy let his body become a little weak.

I touched my chin. Under such circumstances, how should the dialogue of the princess and the general be like? I agonized over it without result. I saw Chu Kong sitting beside me. He pointed at Xinyuns hand, which was holding me and said: Let go.

Her voice wasnt loud, but her tone was arrogant and didnt let anyone disobey it.

Fire seemed to have caught Xinyuns hand. With a putong sound she kneeled down. Tears were in her eyes. She looked at me pitifully.

At this point, I still havent figured out how general Chu will react, so I was pretending with an inscrutable look and continue to drink. I was waiting for Chu Kong to clean up this mess.

Chu Kong also picked up a cup and poured wine. The maid behind him immediately said: Princess, youre pregnant. You shouldnt drink.

Chu Kong quietly played with the cup of wine for a while. Then he put the cup on the table and pushed it to Xinyuns side.

Ive forgotten that I was pregnant. That being the case, Xinyun lady can drink this cup of wine on bengong1s behalf.

Xinyun shivered. Her eyes were frightened. I suddenly remembered that this was no difference from getting wine from the royal family2. But I also know that although Chu Kong is arrogant, he wont murder someone casually. This wine must be because he wants to tease her

So I also opened my eyes and excitedly looked at Xinyun.

General..

Chu Yi was more impatient than I. I waved to shut him up. Xinyun looked at me as in asking me to help her. I also stared at her. She seemed to know that I wont open my mouth to save her. She gritted her teeth, grabbed the cup of wine, raised it and drank all the wine. She closed her eyes and waited in fear for a long while. But nothing happened. She opened her eyes in more horror and glanced quickly at Chu Kong.

Qingling princess, you

What about ben gong?

Chu Kong smiled: What about ben gong, you can only endure it.

Xinyun hung her head. Her fists were clenched. The surrounding turned silent. Chu Kongs finger was tapping on the table. His head was looking down so I didnt know what hes thinking. I felt that staying silent like this is also not the answer, so I let Chu Yi sent Xinyun off. Chu Kong and I sat for a while, and then she let the maids wait outside.

After everyone left, I raised my thumbs: You did the things very much like a princess. That arrogant look, cheche Forcing a woman like that, wont you feel guilty?

I suddenly remembered the first time I went to the netherworld, the pink dressed lady who stood beside Chu Kong. I thought really hard and finally I remembered her name. I teasingly said to Chu Kong: Did you ever treat that Yingshi immortal like that?

Chu Kongs eyes lightly swept over me: Yinshi, would not make that disgusting expression like her.

Listening to him protecting a woman and remembering that after he wanted to make me a eunuch, hell go back and watch stars with her, my heart suddenly felt unhappy.

I put the cup on the table and said: I think that theres nothing wrong with Xinyuns expression. Being weak can reap many benefits.

Chu Kong looked sideways at me and raised a brow: Do you really think of yourself as a man after receiving a shell?

I didnt want to argue with him about this, turned and looked at the sky: Well, todayss autumn, the weather is nice.

Chu Kong laughed coldly: I was busy inside and outside investigating; someone felt that he is the owner, was bored and sat here drinking. Eating men and women alike3, your life is really good.

I protested: First, I didnt see myself as the owner and also didnt eat men and women alike. Second, I also earnestly went to find out our surroundings.

Oh, then tell me what youve found out?

I put a solemn expression and seriously said: The cook of the general manor used too much time to cook.

I took a dessert on the table. While I took a bite and said with disgust: I really dont know how the general and the princess can bear it till now. Im trying to find a fault and dismiss him.

Chu Kongs lips trembled. Unrestrained, he flung the plate with the dessert and thrown it in the pond to feed fish.

Good for nothing.

He evaluated me like that and then said solemnly: Did you see that this Xinyun is not simple?

I was surprised and busily let the desserts in my mouth slide down to my stomach.

How complex can she be?

Think with the little brain that you have. If the arrogant princess really decided to perish together with the general, do you think that shell leave Xinyun alone? This woman is still alive, so I relentlessly researched her. Sure enough, someone is manipulating her from behind.

Who?

Chu Kong shook his head: What I can find now isnt much. But you must be careful around this woman.

Chu Kong touched his chin, narrowed his eyes and said: With the power I have now I couldnt find out much about Xinyun. The previous general climbed from the soldiers position to the generals position must be a smart man. He mustve also detected something strange about Xinyuns origin. Then why did he love her? Did she really befuddle his mind

I touched the cup and said with speculation: Can it be.that the general didnt like Xinyun that much as it seemed to outsiders?

And also he didnt hate the princess that much as it seemed to outsiders

Chu Kon frowned and thought for a while. Then he scolded: These troublesome mortals, all day they only know how to create a mess!

I scratched my head and said: I really want to go to the netherworld and ask them what happened!

Feeling sad for a while, I sat down and the pavilion quieted down. The autumn wind blew. I whispered: Pregnancyhow are you feeling?

Chu Kong voice seemed to have disappeared. I continued to ask: Did your belly grow bigger? Why do I feel that nothing is happening to you, ah

I thought that after hearing those words, Chu Kong will get angry. I didnt think glanced at me and said: What should happen? Say it, let me listen to it.

I raised my fingers one by one and counted: The whole body feels tired, loss of appetite.

A little.

The breast hurts, nauseous and vomiting.

Chu Kong shook his head: No.

I wondered: Didnt your belly grow bigger?

How would I know if it got bigger, Chu Kong asked me. Would xiaoye touch a womans belly when hes bored?

But now this is your body!

I pouted: Do you think is cool to need to lift up the small jiji (you all understand what this is XD) when I go to the toilet? I, a virtuous lady need to do this every day. Whats wrong with touching your belly every day to see if the child is well?

Chu Kong narrowed his eyes: Do you think its easy to be a woman? The chest is painful like a heavy iron ball. Every day I still need to walk with a straight back. Its really tiring.

Nonsense! Do you think I havent been a woman before?! It wasnt so exaggerating.

Chu Kong raised an eyebrow and was quiet for a while. Suddenly he said smiling: En, I think youll never know my sorrow.

I clenched my fists. This bastardwhat does he mean.

Chu Kong suddenly stood up and picked the jug of wine on the table.

This afternoon, Ill go and test that weak expression can reap benefit Xinyun lady. The wound on general is still not healed. Reward this wine to others.

He walked out of the garden.

I stared at the empty table. This pregnancy of Chu Kong is strange. Ill go and ask a doctor, let him gave her some medicine thats 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 princesss 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 Kongs 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 havent even asked him when he knelt again with a putong sound. His body is now shivering more powerful. I wondered: I didnt bully you. What are you afraid of? Stand up.

I dont dare! I dont 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: II think that this symptom of the princess, I fearI fear that in princess belly is a stillbirth.

I blinked. I didnt get the meaning f those words.

Say that again.

I squatted down and let my ear be beside his mouth.

Louder.

Princessprincess 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 dont let the fetus come out quickly, itll cause great harm to the mother! If it isnt done properly, the princess will also

My heart felt cold. I grabbed physician Zhangs hand and went to the residence of Chu Kong.

Let stillbirth be stillbirth. Cant see Chu Kong go into labor is alright, but if he dies

My heart felt some inexplicable panic. If hes dead, with what will I play with?

I hurriedly rushed to Chu Kongs 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 Xinyuns. 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 Kongs 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 Im too busy to care that our identity will be discovered. I thought that something mustve 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 Xinyuns 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 dont 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 didnt wait for the dust to settle and went to catch up with them. In a blink of eye, I didnt know where he went to. I didnt 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 couldnt spit one complete word out. I listened to each carefully for half a day and still didnt understand. He began to roll his eyes uncontrolled. The broken pieces that came out of his mouth finally gave two relatively clear words: Givenbirth.

My head was blank for a moment. I didnt 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. Its my first time experiencing such a scene; I was scared that I began to tremble. I said in panic: Chu Kong this isnt right! How come you giving birth is like menstruating.this isnt right!

Physician Zhang, who was hiding outside seemed like he couldnt stand it anymore. He ran to me and looked at Chu Kong and said in panic: General, its 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 hasnt 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 recklesstry!

I was so anxious that Im 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: Its 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, itll not exist again.

Humans are fragile. Thats 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 its because there are only a few matters that concerns them.
