The surrounding maids also saw the blood stain behind the crown prince, and their complexions changed.
Dan Xiang thought of the old folk saying.
As the old saying goes, if a pregnant woman sees redness first and then her water breaks, the baby is likely to be a boy.
Although Dan Xiang showed panic, she also knew that this is what a woman must go through before giving birth, and she gradually became calm in her heart.
Although Mu Huai lived two lifetimes, it was the first time he became a father, and he had no experience in childbirth.
Since finding Rong Xi back, although he has put this woman in his heart, he will spare time to accompany her, but in the end, most of his time is spent on government affairs.
It can be said that there are very few days when I can really accompany her.
Most of Rong Xi's various discomforts during pregnancy were caused by herself.
Calling the imperial physician here was just to check Rong Xi's pulse. The imperial physician told him what to do, and he did what he did.
But he never took the initiative to ask, what will happen to this woman before she gives birth.
Mu Huai thought that seeing red was a sign of miscarriage, his fingertips trembled unobtrusively, and many painful memories flooded back.
In the previous life, the child went with her. In this life, will the child still be lost
It doesn't matter if she can't keep it, as long as she's fine.
The woman in front of her frowned, looking extremely painful, like a drowning bird, her breathing was weak, and she was dying.
Rong Xi's petite body was in a state of falling backwards.
Mu Huai's eyes were reddish, and anxiety and panic rarely appeared on his usually calm and solemn face. He held the woman in his arms very carefully, and with a very gloomy handsome face, he forced himself to calm down and ordered the palace to say: "Go and find the imperial physician, come over here. I also went to the delivery room ahead of time and told Mrs. Wen to be ready to deliver the baby for the Crown Princess."
Childbirth is a major event for a woman, and all the palace officials are nervous, for fear that something will go wrong with the Crown Princess' birth.
Mu Huai had already ordered someone to vacate a palace in the East Palace, which was specially used as a delivery room for Rong Xi. According to the advice of the imperial physician and midwife, everything needed for the delivery of the woman was prepared in advance.
The delivery was imminent, and the four steady wives who delivered the baby for Rong Xi also temporarily lived in the East Palace a few days ago.
Mu Huai has been sending people to watch their every move, in order to prevent these stable women from being bribed and harming Rong Xi's unborn child.
Rong Xi's round belly was constantly throbbing with labor pains, and every time she felt that the pain was a little better, after a while, there would be another burst of severe pain.
Even in pain, she could still feel that the man holding her was extremely nervous.
Rong Xi even sensed the word fear in Mu Huai, a man who has always been strong.
She closed her eyes weakly, with complicated emotions.
The whereabouts of her younger brother are unknown, and she should devote herself wholeheartedly to the birth of Mu Huai's offspring, but there is always a stone hanging in her heart.
After all, Rong Xi was crying in Mu Huai's arms, but not because of the pain in her body.
She cried because she felt so tired.
Being Mu Huai's woman is really tiring.
Rong Xi knew that Mu Huai did not find those two beauties for him, but they wanted to give them to Tuoba Jing, so as to confuse the emperor's relative from the Hu country.
And the discerning people in the palace guessed the prince's treacherous thoughts, Mu Huai intended to let Mu Rao marry Tuoba Jing, but before the two got married, he gave Tuoba Jing two beauties.
Originally, Rong Xi felt that Tuoba Jing was of bad character. If Mu Rao married this person, not only would her heart ache, but she would also feel that she was sorry for her.
She really wanted to intercede for Mu Rao, she wanted to beg Mu Huai not to let Mu Rao marry Tuoba Jing, Mu Rao was a very good girl, she had a good family background, her temperament and appearance were among the best in Bianjing City.
She should have a happy marriage, and she should never be the princess used for marriage, and her life was ruined by Mu Huai and Tuoba Jing.
But she had no position to ask Mu Huai, nor did she have the guts to ask Mu Huai.
He could only watch Mu Rao step by step towards the abyss, but he was helpless.
The disappearance of his younger brother must also have something to do with Mu Huai.
Apart from Mu Huai's favor and children, she really has nothing.
Although Mu Huai helped her into this position that everyone envied, she felt that her situation was not much better than when she was a slave.
When she was a slave by Mu Huai's side, she still had hope in her heart.
Even if Mu Huai occupied her body, Rong Xi never thought of being Mu Huai's wife and concubine. She always thought that he would always marry a wife. Sooner or later, she would be useless as a slave. The day of the palace.
During those days, whenever she humbled Huan.ai under him, what she feared most was that she would become pregnant with his child.
Although she drank the avoidance decoction, every time she reached the realm of bliss, the powerful and domineering fourth prince would always imprison her for a while longer.
She had no choice but to endure the turbulent rain and dew.
In the end, she was pregnant with this child, the child she didn't want to have.
—"Xi'er, don't be afraid... Gu will not let you have an accident."
Mu Huai's low and mellow voice trembled slightly, the woman in his arms was weak and seemed about to die at any time, he carefully placed her on the bed in the delivery room, and then Dan Xiang poured some ginseng soup into Rong Xi's mouth.
The midwife respectfully said to Mu Huai: "Your Highness, it's time for you to leave the delivery room."
At this moment, Rong Xi opened her eyes weakly and with difficulty, and suddenly grabbed the man's big hand with her wet, sweaty little hands. She raised her neck slightly, as if she wanted to say something to him.
Mu Huai held the woman's hand instead, ignoring the nervous gazes of the palace people and midwives around him, pecked the back of her hand slightly comfortingly, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to accompany you alone?"
Rong Xi shook his head, and after a while, he begged him with a weeping voice, "I implore Your Highness, if I find my younger brother, no matter what mistakes he has made, I beg you to forgive him." One life. Concubine... I beg you. I will definitely give birth to this child safely for Your Highness, and I hope... I hope Your Highness will let my younger brother go because of the difficulty of giving birth to a child."
The palace people on the side thought that the princess was in pain and confused.
Her words, which seemed to be pleading, actually carried a hint of threat.
According to Mu Huai's temperament in the past, no matter whether the other party is tough or soft, he can't bear others to threaten him, and he will definitely not be forced by anyone.
But now, it was her woman's turn to use the time of giving birth to threaten him with bitter tricks.
Seeing that Mu Huai was silent for a moment, Rong Xi knew that her pleading was useless to him.
She gradually let go of Mu Huai's hand, and after closing her eyes in pain, she said to Mu Huai in a hoarse voice: "I know His Highness's intentions, the delivery room is filthy, Your Highness should go out first..."
Before Mu Huai left the bed, the palace people brought hot water one after another. Seeing that the prince had no intention of leaving, the midwife knew that he had a bad reputation, so she dared not persuade him any more.
But the matter of delivering Rong Xi's baby could not be delayed, so they had no choice but to start delivering the baby for the princess in front of the prince.
Before Mu Huai let go of the woman's hand, the most experienced midwife carefully instructed Rong Xi on matters to be paid attention to during childbirth, such as how to use force to avoid abnormal fetal position, and how to breathe pain without hurting the body and fetus.
Rong Xi listened carefully and memorized, but tears fell from the slits in her eyes.
The scene gradually became bloody and horrifying, but Rong Xi bit her lip, resisting the pain in her body, but refused to cry out.
Mu Huai's face was gloomy, watching the corners of the woman's lips oozing blood, a dull pain gradually appeared in his heart.
Seeing that the always delicate princess was about to faint from the pain, Dan Xiang hastily poured ginseng soup into her mouth again, making her hang on her nerves.
With trembling hands, Mu Huai put his slightly puckered fingertips on the corners of the woman's lips, and coaxed in a low voice: "My dear, don't bite, just scream out when it hurts."
Rong Xi turned her face to the side, no longer looking at the man's concerned expression, but silently following what the midwife said, exerting her strength to give birth to the child.
She didn't have any capital and confidence to fight against Mu Huai.
The only way to resist is to resist with yourself.
Seeing this, Mu Huai's eyes turned hard and filled with an oppressive coldness.
The words that came out were full of helpless connivance, and finally made a promise to the stubborn woman: "... I promise you that I will never take his life again."
Rong Xi's tense heartstrings loosened a little, she knew that Mu Huai would not make promises easily.
Now that I have said these words to her, I will not take my brother's life again.
Before Rong Xi lost consciousness in pain, he heard the baby cry.
The midwife smiled and said to her: "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations to the Crown Princess, you are a healthy little grandson."
Mu Huai's deep voice also carried the joy of being a new father, he whispered in her ear: "Xi'er, our baby is finally born."
Rong Xi's expression was not relieved, it was clear that the crying of a newborn baby represented the joy of a new birth.
But she felt more and more confused about the future of herself and Mu Huai.
Even if the two had a child, it was hard for her to imagine how she and Mu Huai would go to the end of their lives.
He even thought that it would be great if he could escape from him smoothly, and he would not have so many entanglements like now.
There is a strong smell of medicine in the sleeping hall, and the candles in the hall are dimly lit.
After Rong Xi gradually woke up, she saw that her stomach had become flat, so she gently stroked it.
The child was born and came out of her womb. Although she felt relieved a lot, now she felt a little reluctant to spend the time when the mother and child were together all day long.
After Rong Xi opened her eyes, she helped the brocade on her head and wiped her forehead. Because of the cries of giving birth just now, her throat became very sore, so she wanted to find some water to drink.
But Mu Huai was sitting on the side of the bed, resting with his eyes closed under the dim candlelight in the hall.
He leaned against the wall behind the four-poster bed, and his tall shadow fell on it.
His black eyebrows were twisted into a knot, he didn't change his clothes, he was still wearing the luxurious black-painted crown dress in the afternoon, even his sleeping posture was very aggressive, making people dare not look at him easily.
Rong Xi was still not feeling refreshed, and it was difficult for her to get off the ground. She wanted to drink water, but also wanted to see the child first, but she didn't want to wake Mu Huai.
Mu Huai was in a light sleep, so he heard the rustling sound after the woman got up.
He gradually opened his eyes, facing the woman's beautiful and bewildered watery eyes.
Rong Xi's black hair was disheveled, and someone had already put on clean and white pajamas. The corners of her eyes were still a little bright red, and there was a hint of charm in her extremely pure temperament.
Like a frightened rabbit.
Rong Xi rolled his eyes slightly, and was organizing his words, thinking about what to say to Mu Huai.
She used herself to force Mu Huai in the delivery room just now, and she didn't know if Mu Huai would settle accounts with her after Qiu Hou.
Mu Huai's cold eyes were still deep and slightly arrogant, staring at the delicate and helpless woman in front of him.
Rong Xi's lips trembled slightly, and he murmured: "... Your Highness."
Mu Huai stood up, carefully embraced the petite girl in his arms, and lowered his head to bury her head in the hollow of her slender shoulder, but said nothing.
Seeing that he didn't speak, but just rubbed his high nose against her, Rong Xi became more and more panicked.
She asked softly again: "Your Highness...Where is the child, I want to see him."
After hearing this, Mu Huai removed his head from her shoulders, and he stretched out his hands to hold the woman's beautiful face. The scars on the corners of her lips had scabbed over, but it didn't affect her beauty at all. Added a bit of extravagance to it.
Rong Xi felt that the way the man looked at her was complicated, and when she was at a loss, Mu Huai leaned over and gently kissed the wound on the corner of her lips.
He was not as usual, once he kissed her, he would be like an addict taking poppies, his aura became more and more seductive, as if he lost his mind.
Now this faint kiss is full of treasure and tenderness.
After a while, Mu Huai finally asked her in a low voice: "When will you stop being afraid of Gu and truly trust Gu?"
"Your Highness..."
With restraint and forbearance in Mu Huai's voice, he ordered helplessly: "Don't call your Highness anymore... standing alone in front of you is not Da Qi's crown prince... but the husband who will always pamper Xi'er."
