Xu Fu knew very well why these people came to celebrate the housewarming.
It was precisely because he had successfully predicted the Han Kingdom's land offering that he had gained Ying Zheng's attention.
They were flattering Xu Fu because they hoped that this favorite of the king would put in a good word for them in front of the king.
He wanted to create more opportunities for them to be promoted and make a fortune.
In fact, Xu Fu didn't care if they made a fortune or not.
To a certain extent, he did not care about the so-called enjoyment of this era at all.
Naturally, there was no motivation to earn more money.
His goal was very clear. To live, to cure illnesses, and to ascend to immortality.
At most, he would add another condition after he met Hu Ji and Zheng Ji, hoping to ensure their safety.
Ever since Xu Fu moved in, his life had changed.
Concubine Zheng was finally pregnant.
Therefore, apart from checking Hu Ji's body in the morning every day.
He still had to go to Concubine Zheng's place in the afternoon.
In between, he would occasionally play with Princess Li Man.
At night, he had to deal with all kinds of invitations and social gatherings from the nobles.
There was almost no time to stop and think.
It was to the extent that he had gradually forgotten a very important thing.
Something so important that it could disrupt all his plans.
In 230 B.C., at the beginning of the year, the sun gradually set in the west.
Xu Fu, who had just returned to the residence, was urgently summoned into the palace.
He checked with Hu Ji every day, and he had already predicted that the due date would be in the next few days.
Now that he was summoned, there was only one possibility. Hu Ji was about to give birth.
No one was allowed to drive a carriage in the palace except for him, the King of Qin.
But today, Ying Zheng gave Xu Fu a special treatment that no one had ever received before. He allowed him to drive into the palace, all the way to the front of the Hu Ji Palace.
"Lord Xu! Lord Xu!" The person waiting outside the Hu Ji Palace was Zhao Gao.
"Aiya, you're finally here. Hu Ji had been suffering from abdominal pain for nearly an hour. The king was also inside and was extremely anxious.”
Xu Fu quickly jumped out of the car and ran straight into the Hu Ji Palace.
"Imperial Physician Xu, quick! Hurry up! Let's see how it is."
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, Ying Zheng immediately ran over from Hu Ji's bed.
Looking at it, Xu Fu had finally arrived.
In fact, not much time had passed. He was just anxious.
Xu Fu was no longer in the mood to bow, for he knew that Ying Zheng would not blame him at this moment.
"Is the big basin ready?" Xu Fu asked the maid beside him.
As early as a month ago, Xu Fu had asked the craftsmen to build a large wooden basin for Hu Ji's delivery.
The purpose was to let Hu Ji lie in warm water for labor.
This method was completely unheard of in this era. Most people gave birth directly on their own beds.
However, Xu Fu was known as the Fairy Doctor, so no one objected to his words.
"Alright, I've also prepared a few buckets of warm water.”the maid replied.
"Alright, let's begin."
Xu Fu walked into the curtain and held Hu Ji's hand." How is it? Does it hurt?"
After all, it was Hu Ji's first time giving birth. She had never experienced such pain before, so she nodded repeatedly to show that she was in pain.
But in fact, after Xu Fu's inspection, only four fingers were opened. There were still a few hours before the actual delivery.
"Silly, this is just the beginning. It will hurt even more later.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Ji's eyes widened." What did you say?!”
Xu Fu chuckled." I'm just telling you this so that you can be prepared. You won't be afraid when the time comes.
Don't worry, I've checked everything. The child is very healthy. There won't be any problems.
"Moreover, I've arranged for you to give birth in warm water. It'll be simpler, faster, and less painful.”
Although Xu Fu was full of confidence, Hu Ji still frowned. It was normal for her to be afraid as a mother for the first time.
As the pain came intermittently, Hu Ji became more and more nervous.
She kept asking Xu Fu when she could give birth.
Not only was Hu Ji nervous, but outside the curtain, the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was also very nervous, pacing back and forth.
Although Ying Zheng had given birth to almost thirty children, he had never been so nervous before.
Ying Zheng was too experienced in childbirth. It was not that he understood the process of a woman giving birth.
It was because he understood how dangerous it was for a woman to give birth.
Before Xu Fu entered the palace, there were already six concubines who died giving birth to his son.
More than ten of the children that were born died.
This time, whether it was Hu Ji or the child that was about to be born, they were all his flesh and blood.
He couldn't afford to lose any of them.
Fortunately, Xu Fu, the Fairy Doctor, was there. Previously, Han Ji had given birth to a child in such a dangerous situation, but he was able to perfectly resolve it.
Ying Zheng was still very confident in him.
The sky gradually darkened. The candles in the bedroom had been changed.
A cry of pain made everyone's nerves tense up.
"How is it? How was it? Imperial Physician Xu?"
Ying Zheng hurried forward. If not for Zhao Gao holding him back, he would have rushed into the curtain to see what was going on.
"Your Majesty, don't panic. It'll be soon."
Then, Xu Fu said to the maid beside him,"Quickly prepare hot water and prepare for labor.”
