Gritting his teeth, Pei Yuanshan collected all the silver bills in his pocket, about five or six hundred taels, all given by his friends before he was exiled.
He stuffed two hundred taels into Liu Qiao'er's pocket and said, "During this time, please take care of my wife and find a safe place for her to stay and recuperate."
"Of course, I said that if you take me out of the city, I will help you take care of your wife. I will not break my promise."
Liu Qiaoer did not take his money because it would be useful to him when he reached his destination.
Pei Yuanshan sighed deeply, raised his face, and tears rolled around in the corners of his eyes for a long time: "Okay, thank you Miss Liu. After this incident, if Pei can still live and make a career, I will definitely die for you."
Pei Yuanshan is not a bad person, he just serves different masters.
Money makes the world go round. Pei Yuanshan gave the official another hundred taels of silver and asked him to boil some hot water and make some soup. Liu Qiaoer helped Mrs. Pei into the room to prepare for the delivery.
Although in ancient times, people were very taboo about women giving birth, saying that it was a dirty thing and bad.
But at this time, when they were out, the officials in the post station had seen more poor people.
They just needed the money and didn't need to be too particular. They arranged a room for Mrs. Pei and found a midwife from a nearby village.
Even so, giving birth to a child does not happen in a short time.
At first, Mrs. Pei had been resting quietly, and even after being imprisoned, she had not walked a few steps.
Now he was going to be exiled all of a sudden, marching several kilometers every day like going to war. Not to mention Mrs. Pei who was pregnant, even Liu Qiaoer couldn't bear it.
The fetus was disturbed and the baby was born prematurely.
After lunch, everyone else wanted to continue on their journey, which put the officer in a difficult position.
Mrs. Pei has never given birth, but she still has to move forward.
Just when he was in a dilemma, a clear voice suddenly came from the post station: "It's actually very simple. Let Pei Yuanshan write a letter of divorce to his wife, and Mrs. Pei won't have to follow him into exile."
Both the official and Pei Yuanshan heard it, and the official thought that it was indeed possible.
But Pei Yuanshan was a little reluctant: "My wife has done nothing wrong, no need for a divorce letter, let's get a divorce."
Pei Yuanshan gave the young man a letter of divorce and continued on his journey with the exiled group.
In the room, Liu Qiaoer watched Mrs. Pei in excruciating pain and felt anxious.
But she had no experience in giving birth, so the midwife she found was used to it and even went so far as to comfort Liu Qiaoer.
"Don't worry, don't worry. It takes a day or two for everyone to have a baby."
Liu Qiaoer didn't know why she was panicking. She never knew giving birth could be so painful for a woman. Even the medical equipment in space couldn't help her.
Seeing that Liu Qiao'er looked unhappy, the midwife advised: "Young lady, it is normal that young ladies cannot enter the delivery room. You say you are a doctor, but why do you look so scared?"
Nonsense, Madam Pei is in so much pain, how can she not be afraid
Labor pains are the worst kind of pain, and it turns out this is how painful they are.
Liu Qiaoer took a deep breath and said, "I'll go get her something to eat."
Mrs. Pei has been eating well these days. Liu Qiaoer feeds her eggs and ginseng in different ways every day. If it weren't for these, I'm afraid she wouldn't have the strength to cry out in pain.
Giving birth is strenuous work, and it also requires eating.
Liu Qiaoer went to the kitchen and made her a bowl of egg noodles.
Just as the noodles were served, a young man came into view. Liu Qiaoer could not care about anything else and dodged: "Make way, make way, don't burn yourself."
"What delicious noodles! I want to have a bowl too."
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Qiaoer looked up and met Lu Yunzheng's peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Yunzheng reached out to take the bowl of noodle soup, and followed Liu Qiaoer to the door of Mrs. Pei's room.
The contractions disappeared for a while, and Mrs. Pei stopped shouting and had no strength left. She smelled the aroma of the noodle soup and her stomach growled.
"This noodles smells so good." The midwife drooled upon hearing that.
Liu Qiaoer smiled awkwardly: "This is for Madam Pei. I added some extra eggs. There is also noodles in the kitchen. It will be ready soon. Let's eat together."
Chunxiao ate noodles with Mrs. Pei.
In another room, Lu Yunzheng looked at Liu Qiaoer, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and wished he could hold her in his arms.
"I missed you, and couldn't wait for you to come find me, so I asked a large group of people to go ahead and come to look for you."
Liu Qiaoer looked apologetic: "I originally planned to meet up with you after leaving the city, but I didn't expect that Madam Pei was in a critical situation. The child is innocent, and I can't just stand by and watch."
Lu Yunzheng took out a divorce letter from his arms: "Pei Yuanshan wrote a divorce letter in order not to implicate his wife. After she gives birth, she can be sent back to Beijing."
Liu Qiaoer was slightly startled. She suddenly realized that no matter how tired and difficult the journey was, Madam Pei had never mentioned the word divorce.
Now Pei Yuanshan proposed divorce in order for her to take good care of her health, and Liu Qiaoer didn't know what to say.
"Let's wait until she gives birth."
After eating a bowl of noodles, Mrs. Pei's contractions became more frequent.
They stayed like this until evening, and saw that Mrs. Pei was about to give birth.
Suddenly, a group of people came to the post station.
As soon as Lu Yunzheng saw these people, he immediately became alert.
"Qiao'er, we can't stay in this post station anymore. The prince's men are coming."
Liu Qiaoer emptied the prince's warehouse, and the murderer was not found for such a long time. The prince's wife became sick with anger, and then she thought of Liu Qiaoer.
But when they went to ask Princess Mingxin, they found out that Liu Qiaoer had already run away.
The prince then ordered his men to head north to capture Liu Qiaoer.
In fact, Liu Qiaoer was not an important person, and she didn't know why the prince and Tutor Lu insisted on keeping her in the capital.
It was a long time later that Lu Yunzheng found out that the prince had once asked the imperial teacher to predict his fortune, and Liu Qiaoer's fate was good for the prince.
With a destiny like hers, if ninety-nine or eighty-one of them are accumulated, the prince will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor.
The reason why Liu Qiaoer was arrested was because she happened to be the last one.
It is not easy to find eighty-one people with good fortune for the prince in the whole Zhou Dynasty, so the prince kept pursuing her.
As soon as Lu Yunzheng saw the Crown Prince's men, he immediately asked Qi Ze to prepare the carriage.
He immediately took Mrs. Pei, Liu Qiaoer and Chunxiao to the midwife's village to stay temporarily.
That night, Mrs. Pei finally gave birth to a daughter.
After experiencing exile, moving, and giving birth, Mrs. Pei fell into a deep sleep after giving birth. She slept for two days and two nights, which scared Liu Qiaoer so much that she thought she was about to die.
If Long Batian hadn't been able to detect her heartbeat in the space, this group of people would have almost buried her on the spot.
My daughter was born healthy, fair and tender, very cute.
After Mrs. Pei wakes up, it's time for the group to continue on their journey.
Liu Qiaoer had already gone to the city and bought a large carriage, which was covered with a thick mattress and all the windows were closed.
Lu Yunzheng and Qi Ze rode horses, Chun Xiao drove the carriage, and Liu Qiaoer took care of Mrs. Pei in the carriage, and the group continued to drive north.
