Chapter 197 Rescue
But he never thought that if Xu Muyan was not so strong and upright, Prime Minister Hua would never have betrothed his daughter to him.
A blacksmith must be strong himself. Xu Muyan's ability to get to this point and sit on the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple was due to his own abilities, but Ji Huaiche couldn't see through it.
When Ji Huaiche saw Xu Muyan's dark face towards him, he sneered and said disdainfully:
"Xu Shaoqing is protecting Princess Ye, but has he found the murderer of Doctor Zhu?"
"No."
"Since you don't have any, you can't let her go." Ji Huaiche's eyes flashed. He was determined to keep Ji Yuntang here today.
Since the other party has actually entered the Dali Temple, he can forget about getting out easily.
He wanted to let everyone know that Ji Yuntang was involved in the murder of Doctor Zhu, and that was why he was detained here by the Dali Temple.
As long as the time is more than one day, her guilt can basically be proven.
Xu Muyan strongly disagreed with Ji Huaiche's approach. He did not give in this time, but argued:
"I have already found out that the person who killed Doctor Zhu had nothing to do with Princess Ye. I will write a memorial to the emperor later to report this matter."
"The Dali Temple is a formal case handling agency, not a fortress that forces people to stay. We cannot do banditry either. Please understand, Junior Lord Ji."
"You..." Ji Huaiche was about to say something when he suddenly saw a pretty girl who looked like a maid running in quickly, with an anxious look on her face.
He recognized her at a glance. This was Cui Liu, the maid who served Xu Muyan's wife Hua Ruyue.
He had seen Hua Ruyue several times before when she came to Dali Temple to deliver meals to Xu Muyan.
Cui Liu came to Dali Temple to find him at this moment, most likely because something happened to Xu Muyan’s wife.
As expected, after Cui Liu ran in, her face was full of panic. She cried, "Son-in-law, it's bad. Madam is about to give birth, but she suddenly had heavy bleeding. She hasn't given birth for two hours. The midwife said that her baby is unlikely to be saved. You should go back quickly."
Xu Muyan's face changed drastically. A hint of panic suddenly appeared in his gentle and calm eyes, and his tone was tense.
"Madam, such a big thing happened, why didn't you come to me earlier?"
Cui Liu trembled with fear. "Yes, it was the Madam who didn't let me come. She knew you were busy with government affairs and investigating a case, so she didn't let me come to inform you. She was also afraid that you would worry, and wanted to give you a surprise after giving birth to the little master. I didn't expect..."
Cui Liu's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her original surprise turned into shock.
Hua Ruyue has always been in good health. After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said that her child might be born full-term.
But no one expected that after breakfast this morning, Hua Ruoyue suddenly said that she had a stomachache, and then her amniotic fluid broke.
The midwife arrived in time, but during the delivery, there was heavy bleeding and the baby was in an abnormal position. It took two hours to be born successfully, and the situation is now becoming more and more critical.
As a last resort, Cui Liu hurried to Dali Temple to find Xu Muyan.
Xu Muyan's heart suddenly panicked, and his lips trembled unconsciously. He clearly felt the pain and self-blame deep in his chest.
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned to look at Ji Yuntang, as if he had grasped the last straw, and looked at her with a pleading look on his face.
"Princess Ye, your medical skills are well known in Dongchen Country. I wonder if you can find a way to save my wife and child?"
Ji Yuntang met Xu Muyan's self-blaming eyes. She knew that he must love his wife very much, so she nodded immediately.
"Thanks to Xu Shaoqing's trust, I can give it a try."
Gynecological and obstetric surgery was also one of the surgeries that Ji Yuntang often performed in her previous life, and she had delivered many babies.
After listening to Cui Liu's description just now, she knew that Hua Ruyue's situation must be very dangerous. When it comes to matters involving human lives, Ji Yuntang always keeps his word.
"Let's go without further delay. I wonder if Xu Shaoqing can ride a horse?"
Xu Muyan nodded, "Yes."
Ji Yuntang said: "The carriage is too slow, so let's have someone bring two horses over. Saving people is the most important thing."
Soon, two horses were brought over by the guards, one for Ji Yuntang and one for Xu Muyan. She turned over and got on the horse swiftly.
"Gee!" She clamped her legs around the horse's belly and rode away.
Ji Huaiche didn't expect that Ji Yuntang could ride a horse, and his riding posture was more skillful and smoother than that of ordinary people.
He also wanted to go to Xu's house to take a look, but considering that the Dali Temple could not be left without a leader, he gave up the idea.
Ji Huaiche sneered in his heart. He didn't believe that Ji Yuntang could really deliver a baby.
If anything happened to Hua Ruyue in her hands, not only Xu Muyan, but also the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would probably tear her to pieces.
By then, he will see who can save Ji Yuntang!
The Yewang Mansion is in a thankless situation, and if they offend the Prime Minister's Mansion, they will be in big trouble.
She really brought this upon herself, no one can save her.
Ji Huaiche enjoyed watching Ji Yuntang's joke.
At the same time, Ji Yuntang and Xu Muyan had already rushed to the Xu Mansion at full speed.
This is the house that Prime Minister Hua specially bought for them outside the palace. Although it is a bit far from the Dali Temple, it is very prosperous and luxurious.
After Ji Yuntang dismounted, he followed Xu Muyan into the Xu Mansion.
Before entering Jinyuan, I heard urgent shouts and women's screams of pain, which were getting louder and louder.
"Madam, push harder, think about the baby in your belly, think about Lord Xu, you can't sleep at this time!"
"Madam, you will definitely give birth to the baby. Don't give up."
Outside the door, Prime Minister Hua and his wife Cao were pacing back and forth, both of them with visible tension and worry on their faces.
"God bless my daughter, please don't let anything happen to her. Please let her give birth to Lin'er safely. God bless them and their child to be safe."
Hua Ruoyue's mother, Cao, clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky again and again.
When Xu Muyan saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable, and he felt more and more unbearable self-blame in his heart.
"Father and mother-in-law, I'm sorry I'm back late."
"This is Princess Ye. I specially invited her to deliver Yue'er's baby. Maybe she has a way to save Yue'er."
Prime Minister Hua and Madam Cao turned their heads to look at Ji Yuntang.
The woman in front of him was wearing a spotless white dress. She was graceful, as clean and elegant as a lotus in clear water. Her beautiful fox eyes were sparkling and shining, and she should not be underestimated.
Cao had naturally heard of the name of Princess Ye Ji Yuntang. She was very famous in Dongchen Kingdom, but her reputation was half good and half bad.
People who like Ji Yuntang think that she is very amazing. She comes from the countryside but has learned excellent medical skills.
