Chapter 96 What a cruel heart!
Zhong Tian is currently at the Ministry of Revenue. He and Ye Qing reported to the Ministry of Revenue early this morning.
The Minister of Revenue was a rather comical old lady in her fifties who spoke very slowly. Although Zhongtian stood ramrod straight and extremely respectful, his mind had already wandered far away.
She wondered if Mu Ning's child would be as beautiful as Mu Ning after birth.
She heard that newborn babies are like mice, small and ugly, so she would definitely control her expression and joyfully welcome the birth of her child.
Suddenly, Shishu rushed in, his voice trembling with tears: "Master, something has happened to our master!"
Even many years later, when Nakata recalled that day, his memory remained extremely confused.
When Nakata arrived at Tian'anju, he saw a complete mess on the ground.
Xia Muning collapsed onto the table, blood slowly flowing from her legs. Yu Yijin held her child, crying uncontrollably; the child's lips were already turning white.
Xia Jin'an and Linlang were forced to kneel on the ground by the people from the Music Bureau. Linlang remained silent, while Xia Jin'an looked up in despair in the direction of Xia Muning: "Let me see the young master, let me see the young master!"
Nearby were panicked onlookers.
General Yue arrived in a hurry with his soldiers, looking flustered and anxious. He immediately ran to Yu Yijin to check on the child.
Zhong Tian immediately ran to Xia Muning's side and hugged her. When Xia Muning saw Zhong Tian, her voice was trembling with tears: "Save the child, the food is poisoned!"
Zhong Tian held Xia Mu Ning in her arms. Her hands were slippery and stained with blood. She was extremely flustered, her mind racing with a thousand thoughts. She forced herself to calm down.
At this moment, someone grabbed Zhong Tian's arm and calmly said, "Don't panic! Madam Zhong, I've brought a doctor and a midwife." The calm tone soothed Zhong Tian's somewhat flustered heart.
Wudao Temple in Lexingxi is not far from here, and he rushed there as soon as he received the news.
The midwife glanced at Xia Muning's belly and carefully touched it: "Lord Zhong, the pregnant man has been traumatized. The baby must be delivered immediately so that both the baby and the pregnant man can survive."
Now was not the time to hesitate. Nakata nodded decisively: "Then let's dig."
There were places to stay inside Tian Anju, and Zhong Tian immediately found an empty room and put Xia Muning inside.
The offspring respectfully said, "This is a place of male conception and impurity; please, Lord Zhong, leave."
Upon hearing this, Nakata exploded: "Why should I avoid my husband? I will stay here with him and protect him until he is safe and sound."
Xia Muning opened his eyes at this moment and looked at Zhong Tian: "My lady, you should go out. The doctor won't feel at ease if you stay here."
Zhong Tian touched Xia Mu Ning's slightly sweaty hair, nodded, and respected the pregnant man's wishes: "Okay, Mu Ning, I'll wait for you outside!"
Xia Muning waited until Zhongtian left before looking at Chan Gong. He was in great pain, but there were some things he needed to say:
"If you do your best to save them and they both survive, you will receive wealth you never imagined in your life. But if the situation becomes critical, what's the choice?"
The expectant father immediately nodded: "I understand, save the baby." Most expectant fathers make this choice.
"No! Save me! You must save me!"
Xia Muning glanced at the closed door. He could give up his life for Zhongtian, but he couldn't give up his life for the child in his womb. He wanted to keep his life and stay with Zhongtian for a long, long time.
This child is gone. If he could have another child, he could have many more children for Nakata. If he dies, he will not be at peace.
He asked Nakata to leave simply because he didn't want Nakata to know about this and harbor resentment.
"Do you understand?"
"clear."
Xia Muning felt relieved and allowed herself to sink into extreme pain.
Standing outside the door, listening to the increasingly loud howls inside, Zhong Tian felt an intense pain in her heart. Her eyes vacant, she slumped to the ground.
I was awakened by a sharp slap.
The room she chose had a perfect view of the entire outside scene.
She heard the doctor say, "General, we have done our best. The child's life has been saved, but it is estimated that he will not be able to speak in the future."
She saw Yu Yijin put down the child, rush to Xia Jin'an, and frantically tear at Xia Jin'an's clothes: "Why did you do this? Why did you do this?"
She saw General Yue embrace the somewhat deranged Yu Yijin, and coldly stared at Xia Jin'an: "Is Tian Anju yours? Did you poison it?"
She saw that Xia Jin'an didn't speak; he just stared at the closed door, his lips trembling as he looked at the pained Zhong Tian.
Xia Jin'an's body is still there, but her soul has been torn to pieces.
General Yue became even angrier when she saw that Xia Jin'an remained silent. She glanced at her daughter, who could not speak, and at her husband, who was crying hysterically. She withdrew her hand, ready to slap Xia Jin'an across the face.
Zhongtian finally came to her senses. She rushed over and stood in front of Xia Jin'an, taking a solid slap from General Yue.
General Yue was a martial artist with immense strength. The slap landed on Zhong Tian's face, causing it to swell immediately. Zhong Tian felt a sweet, metallic taste churning in her mouth, but she swallowed it back.
Xia Jin'an looked at Zhong Tian and murmured, "You shouldn't have saved me, you shouldn't have saved me."
Yu Yijin screamed wildly, "You're actually protecting him?"
“I believe him, he wouldn’t do such a thing.”
"He's a murderer! You know that! You know everything, and you still believe him!"
"He might hurt others, but he would never hurt me!"
Le Xingxi watched from the side, her expression unreadable.
Yu Yijin tried to pounce on Zhongtian again and frantically slap him, but Le Xingxi stood in front of the crazed Yu Yijin.
Yu Yijin dared to go crazy at Zhong Tian, but he didn't dare to go crazy at Le Xingxi.
"Mother, take Yu Yijin back and invite the imperial physician to the palace. There might still be a chance to save her. As for Xia Jin'an, the officials will make their own decision."
General Yue nodded: "Alright." Making a scene won't solve the problem.
General Yue helped the somewhat exhausted Yu Yijin back.
"The government officials have arrived," Le Xingxi said.
Lord Zhao arrived with his constables.
Xia Jin'an suddenly began to struggle violently. "Zhongniang, Zhongniang, Young Master... Young Master..."
Nakata understood; he wanted to wait for the outcome here.
Just then, the door creaked open, and everyone looked at the midwife. Zhong Tian spoke, her voice trembling slightly, though she herself didn't realize it, and softly asked, "How is the situation inside?"
