Chapter 264

It was just a spur of the moment.

After Xie Wan Ning's death, Lu Ziyan, who used to be indifferent to everything, suddenly became interested in the births of other people's wives and concubines.

Even Xie Yanyu, who was usually calm, was frightened at the moment.

But he was so close to this plague god that he didn't even have the chance to send someone to inform him.

I am afraid that any unusual movement will be discovered, which would be counterproductive.

…………

On the other side, Ji Chengfeng walked quickly into Xie Wanning's yard.

Pei Yuqing had already retreated and was pacing anxiously in the hall, completely losing his usual calmness.

When he saw Ji Chengfeng coming in, he didn't even bother to say hello. He stared straight at the door of the delivery room like a stone looking at his wife.

Just then, the heavy curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Ma came out carrying a basin of blood, and bumped head-on into Ji Chengfeng.

Seeing the bright red in the basin, Ji Chengfeng's face turned pale: "How is she? Is she okay?"

"Don't worry, sir. The midwife said everything is going well now." Mrs. Ma was eager to pour the water, and after she finished speaking, she carried the basin out.

Pei Yuqing, who was standing by, heard his concerned question and finally paid attention to him.

This glance reminded Ji Chengfeng, and he quickly said, "Brother Pei, quickly tell your people to get out of the way. The prince has come to Bianzhou and has already arrived at the mansion. Don't let him run into us."

This was like a bolt from the blue. Pei Yuqing didn't even bother to feel jealous. He frowned and asked, "Lu Ziyan is here?"

Ji Chengfeng nodded solemnly and gave a brief explanation.

In the delivery room, Xie Wan Ning's cries of pain had changed in tone.

Time is running out.

Pei Yuqing was in great confusion.

Lu Ziyan is here.

Xie Yanyu came to Bianzhou at the emperor's order, which was completely explainable.

But here, if Lu Ziyan met someone of his,... with his keen sense, how could he not think about it?

He forced himself to calm himself, called Pei Shu in, and gave him a few instructions.

Among the people he brought with him, only Pei Shu was an attendant who had been with him all year round, and the others were new recruits. However, just in case, they were all hidden in the courtyard and were not allowed to show up these days.

Ji Chengfeng reminded: "Brother Pei, you should also take shelter."

"No, Wanwan is giving birth, where can I hide? I don't think he would come to the yard where my wife is giving birth."

So, it's safe here.

Pei Yuqing said: "I've been staying in Wanwan Courtyard these days."

This made sense. Ji Chengfeng thought about it for a few breaths and stopped trying to persuade him.

However, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a familiar voice was heard from outside the yard.

It’s Lu Ziyan.

Pei Yuqing's body suddenly stiffened.

The courtyard where Xie Wan Ning lived was not big, and the delivery room was located in the warm room. At this moment, they were standing in the hall, and there was not even a room to hide.

Ji Chengfeng said: "Don't worry, I'll go out and take a look. I don't think he will come in."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Lu Ziyan would certainly not enter the place where someone else’s wives and concubines gave birth.

At this moment, he was standing under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, listening to the cries of pain that were getting louder and louder, his brows slightly furrowed.

Xie Yanyu on the side asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, this cheap uncle would still care about him. Lu Ziyan glanced at him calmly and said, "I feel sorry for you."

Few people know that the current crown prince has a heart disease.

Xie Yanyu was not an insider, so he felt even more frightened when he heard this.

Lu Ziyan no longer looked at him, but put his hand on his chest.

Somehow, the closer he got to the yard, the more distressed he felt.

When I arrived at the courtyard, my heart ached even more.

When I heard the woman's cries of pain inside, my heart ached even more.
