Shi Qingxue actually wanted to enter the house, but was afraid that too many people would affect Dong Hui.
After Dong Hui screamed again, Shi Qingxue couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in with a single stride.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Shi Qingxue finished asking, she was stunned.
Because the scene in the room was beyond her expectation, even Baoning was shocked when she followed her later.
Their mother - the mother who once risked her own life to save her children - was pushing Wenpo hard and screaming: "Monster, monster! Take it away, take it away quickly, this is not me Boy, this is a monster!”
Shi Junhe sat by the bed, his face became ugly and pale, and his eyes were fixed on the child in Po Wen's arms.
Regarding Dong Hui's rejection, Shi Junhe did not reprimand him. He just hugged Dong Hui and glanced at Po Wen.
The latter also wisely took the child away, then stood back in the corner and shrank.
"what happened?"
Shi Qingxue's face was full of confusion. Unfortunately, Dong Hui was in a state of excitement and was still shouting nervously. Shi Junhe wanted to appease Dong Hui and had no time to explain.
She had no choice but to walk to the corner by herself, wanting to see her brother.
Po Wen took the first step and raised her head to block the baby's head, and tried to persuade her awkwardly: "Miss, you'd better stop looking at it!"
Shi Qingxue's frown deepened. She didn't understand why her brother couldn't see it.
"It's okay, take your hands away and let me take a look."
Wen Po had no choice but to take her hand away.
Shi Qingxue leaned forward and finally saw the infant child clearly.
Her pupils dilated instantly and she stared at the baby, speechless.
Po Wen thought that Shi Qingxue was also frightened by the 'monster' in the baby, so she stretched out her hand to cover the baby's head again, and whispered: "Miss, you should step back a little to avoid being scared."
Shi Qingxue blinked, not believing what she just saw.
In fact, she just saw a small head, pointed, with wrinkles on the face, and fluffy lanugo hair on the head. It looked like an ordinary newborn baby.
Ugly, but not unacceptable.
But the strange thing is that there is a dark, disgusting birthmark on this baby's face that spreads down from the left forehead and almost occupies the left half of the face.
Really like a monster.
Shi Qingxue had never seen someone with such a big and terrifying birthmark, and was really frightened for a moment.
But Po Wen's actions made her a little uncomfortable.
She stretched out her hand to stop Wenpo's movements and blocked the other party's hand, "No need to block it, I'll take a look again."
This time she took a deep breath before opening her eyes again and looking at the swaddled baby.
I don't know whether it was due to poisoning or malnutrition - this reason was probably impossible in the Duke's Mansion - the baby was very thin, with no flesh on his face, and his facial features were squeezed into a pile, no bigger than her palm. Plus that black birthmark, that's why it looks so scary.
It should get better as you grow up, right
Shi Qingxue was thinking uncertainly in her heart, and her brows were serious.
Po Wen thought that Shi Qingxue hated the newborn baby - after all, the mother's attitude was so obvious - and was afraid that she would be implicated, so she quickly said: "Slave, please take the baby down first, so as not to stain your eyes..."
As soon as she said this, Shi Qingxue glared hard at her and immediately fell silent. Shi Qingxue's eyebrows furrowed into a frown, but she was concerned that this stable woman was specially hired by the palace to deliver Dong Hui's baby. She did not reprimand, but emphasized unhappily: "He is my younger brother."
Po Wen immediately understood that she had said something wrong and quickly admitted her mistake: "I am the slave who did not speak wisely. Please don't blame me, Miss."
Shi Qingxue was too lazy to argue with the other party and turned her attention to the little baby again.
The baby is still sleeping, with its eyes closed tightly, and its eyes, nose, and mouth are all wrinkled. At first glance, it looks ugly, but when she thinks that this is her little brother, connected by blood with her, Shi Qingxue's heart wells up. Indescribable feelings.
Looking at the baby's ugly birthmark, it doesn't seem that annoying anymore, especially when the little mouth moves from time to time, which makes Qingxue's heart melt.
so cute!
Shi Qingxue looked at Po Wen expectantly, and couldn't help but whispered: "Can I hug him?"
Po Wen looked embarrassed.
Although the young lady didn't seem to reject the baby, and even liked the baby a little, she knew from a glance that she had no experience in holding a baby. If she fell, she would be in big trouble.
Po Dang Wen did not hesitate for long, because Dong Hui on the other end suddenly let out Jiang Rui's cry of pain for some reason, one sound louder than the other, and she only said that she had a stomachache.
The person taking care of her was surprised to find that Dong Hui's lower body began to bleed again.
Shen Luo stepped forward to take a pulse, and his expression became solemn again, "Madam has a child in her belly and is ready to deliver the baby."
After giving the order, all the Wen Pos stood ready and rushed to Dong Hui's bedside to surround her.
Those who feed ginseng soup feed ginseng soup, those who call people call people, and they are all busy.
Shi Junhe was unwilling to leave the delivery room now, so he only stepped aside and comforted her nervously but calmly: "Don't be afraid, Hui Niang, I'm here to accompany you."
Wen Po, who was holding the baby, couldn't hold back her anger. She glanced at Shi Qingxue, gritted her teeth, and sent the baby to Shi Qingxue's arms like a hot potato, casually saying: "That's troublesome. The young lady will take good care of Mr. Shi..."
After that, she quickly ran to the bed.
This time everyone seemed more nervous and prepared, concentrating on delivering Dong Hui's baby.
No one paid attention to Shi Qingxue and the baby in her arms standing in the corner of the room.
Everyone knew that even though Shi Junhe had called out the title of 'Little Crown Prince' just now, it was impossible for this ugly and crippled 'monster' to become the Crown Prince of Shi Kingdom.
The Duke of Shi's government cannot afford to lose this face, and no nobleman can afford to lose this face.
Everyone put their hope in the other child in Dong Hui's belly, hoping that this one would also be a boy, and then the title of the Duke's heir apparent would be settled.
Dong Hui's second childbirth went very smoothly, but within a quarter of an hour, a "wow" sound resounded throughout the delivery room, making everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Dong Hui was still conscious, and her first instinct was to look at the baby who was covered in blood and had not yet had time to see clearly. She shouted hurriedly: "Hurry up and take it over and show it to me. Show it to me!"
Po Wen, who was holding the baby, knew what Dong Hui really wanted to see, and regardless of her dirty hands, she held the baby directly in front of Dong Hui.
Dong Hui was stricken by the smell of blood and leaned back, but she immediately held back and tried her best to look at the child.
Fortunately, this time my face is fair and clean, with no birthmarks at all, and it looks chubby, plump and cute.
Dong Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief and then moved her gaze downwards. Her face suddenly lit up with joy, and she quickly took Shi Junhe's hand and shouted in surprise: "It's my son, this is my son!"
Shi Junhe naturally saw it too, and his tense face finally relaxed a little.
He held Dong Hui's hand in return and agreed with a smile: "Yes, he is his son, and he is healthy and fine. There is nothing wrong with him. Don't worry!"
After hearing this, Dong Hui immediately relaxed, then tilted her head and fainted.
Shi Junhe was so frightened that he started shouting Shen Luo's name again.
Shen Luo told him that it was just because Dong Hui spent too much energy when giving birth and finally relaxed now that she fainted. She could recover as long as she rested for a while.
"That's good, that's good!" Shi Junhe breathed a sigh of relief, and asked someone to clean the delivery room and take care of the child, while he stayed with Dong Hui every step of the way.
After two such thrilling births and being frightened by the terrifying face of his eldest son, Shi Junhe was really tired. He didn't even notice that his two daughters also entered the delivery room.
Shi Qingxue and Shi Baoning looked at each other and decided not to disturb their parents for the time being.
Shi Baoning also saw the terrible birthmark on her eldest brother's face just now. She was a little scared, so she spontaneously followed Po Wen to take care of her little brother.
Qingxue carefully held the baby and followed Shen Luo, "Doctor Shen, can my brother be cured like this?"
Shen Luo walked out of the delivery room quickly, without stopping, but still couldn't stop Shi Qingxue from catching up.
He had no choice but to stop, look back at Shi Qingxue's nervous and expectant eyes, and sigh helplessly.
"What, what's wrong?" Shi Qingxue's heart jumped to her throat at this sigh.
Shen Luo couldn't help it and told the truth: "The thing on this child's face cannot be regarded as a real birthmark, because the Duke's wife was poisoned, and the poison is vicious and there is no way to cure it. It will either remain in the mother's body or be passed on to the fetus.
But at that time, the Duke's wife was very weak. If she remained in the mother's body, she would only die in one or two lives. In order to save them, I can only introduce the poison to the fetus. That's why I said this child is undesirable. "
It’s not that you can’t be born, but that you can’t be born...
When Shi Qingxue thought of Dong Hui's frightened look when she first saw the baby, her heart dropped and her face turned pale.
Shen Luo comforted him: "Fortunately, your mother gave birth to twins, and your second brother was not affected. You can rest assured."
This can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.
Shi Qingxue was not comforted, "What about eldest brother? Is there really nothing you can do?"
Facing Shi Qingxue's expectant gaze, Shen Luo wanted to nod.
But in the end, he just shook his head and said truthfully: "I'm sorry that I can't do anything for the time being."
Seeing Qingxue's big eyes, it was as if the bright lights were extinguished, and Shen Luo couldn't say the cruel words that followed.
Not only could he not say it out loud, he also had to promise out loud: "But I will do my best to develop an antidote and try to make this child recover as good as before."
Even if this is basically impossible.
"Then I'll leave it all to the miracle doctor!" Shi Qingxue's eyes were 'lit' again, and there was a slight smile on his face.
She raised her eyes and looked at the little baby in her arms - although she was not lively at all and could not scream - she was so happy that she couldn't help but tease the baby's tender cheeks, "Baby, you are a great hero! You saved your mother and brother, don’t be afraid, we will take good care of you!"
