Zhulan had been guarding her daughter. Her daughter bit the handkerchief tightly and her forehead was covered with sweat. She knew without asking the midwife that her daughter would have difficulty giving birth this time.
Outside the door, Rongchuan and Ning Xu arrived together. What a coincidence, Rongchuan and Ning Xu were drinking tea together. Ning Xu followed after hearing the news. This pregnancy was related to the Ninghou Mansion.
Rongchuan kept circling outside the door. He had a bad feeling, a very rare feeling.
Sure enough, not long after, Xue Han cried out in pain in the delivery room, she was having a difficult delivery.
Rong Chuan's face turned pale, "How could it be."
The imperial physician clearly said that the patient would be fine after proper recuperation, but then his face sank. The imperial physician did not dare to lie, so the queen mother could only have concealed the matter because she did not want them to worry.
Li and the others looked at each other. Zhao had experienced a difficult childbirth before, so she knew the danger and pain of it. Yudie was a child born out of a difficult childbirth, so she raised her so carefully, fearing that the child would be lost by accident.
Zhulan wiped her daughter's forehead with a handkerchief. She was very anxious. "Don't be afraid. Mom is by your side. Don't be afraid."
Xue Han could only feel the pain, the veins on her neck were throbbing, "It hurts, it hurts, Mommy, it hurts so much."
She had never felt such pain during her first childbirth. It was so painful that it killed her.
Zhulan looked at the midwife, who was also sweating profusely. The midwife was prepared by the Queen Mother, and she did not show any surprise at all when facing the difficult delivery. It was obvious that she knew that Xuehan's birth was not easy.
Xue Han didn't know how long she had been in pain. She just wanted to give birth to the child, but the baby was still in her belly. She was in so much pain that she was a little dazed. She couldn't hear clearly what her mother said in her ear. She could only feel what she was shouting.
When Zhou Shuren came back, the baby hadn't been born yet, and it had been almost a day. He anxiously asked his eldest daughter-in-law, "What's the situation in there?"
Mrs. Li's face turned pale. "My sister-in-law had a difficult labor and the baby hasn't been born yet."
Zhou Shuren pursed his lips and sat down. This year could be said to be a disaster for his youngest daughter. Because of his relationship with Zhulan, his youngest daughter's life had been too smooth. Was it because God couldn't stand this
Ning Xu originally wanted to talk for a few words, but when he saw Zhou Shuren closed his eyes, he could only look away and continue staring at the delivery room.
This baby is too important to the Ning Marquis' Mansion. If it is a son with a weak body, there are also advantages to being weak. If it is a daughter, and the Princess of Qin is injured, it can only be said that his mansion is destined to have no heir.
Inside the palace, the Queen Mother waited until dark but still received no news. She was worried, "Everything will be fine, right?"
She was really afraid that something might happen to her daughter-in-law and her son wouldn’t be able to handle it because her younger son had too deep feelings for her.
Emperor Retired, "Rongchuan has gone through so much hardship, God will favor him, and he will definitely be safe."
"You're right, Rongchuan will be happy."
Everyone who should know now knows that the Princess of Qin had a difficult delivery. Many of them are happy, hoping that there would be two lives with one corpse so that the King of Qin could marry the Princess again. The Princess of Qin represents too many interests.
The lights in the Zhou Mansion were on. Mingyun and others could not wait outside the delivery room, but they were waiting for news in their respective courtyards.
No one went in to eat dinner that night as they were all waiting for news from the delivery room.
In the delivery room, Zhulan cried and said repeatedly: "You can't give up, you still have the child, you still have the parents, the child is still so young, Rongchuan can't leave you, you have to hold on."
Xue Han was in a trance. She could hear her mother's voice in her ears, but it seemed so far away.
Zhulan felt heavy in her heart and became angry. She slapped her daughter hard. The slap was so loud that it could be heard outside the delivery room.
Zhou Shuren could hear his wife crying, and he felt very uncomfortable. This was his little girl, whom he and Zhulan had raised.
Li and others were already wiping away tears.
Rong Chuan stared at the delivery room with his eyes wide open, muttering, "No, my wife will be fine. They will grow old together."
The female official was stunned by the continuous slapping sounds.
Xue Han opened her eyes in pain, and was faced with her mother in tears. She seldom saw her mother cry, and her cheeks ached when she opened her mouth.
Zhulan's heart was in turmoil and she almost fainted. She bit her tongue hard, feeling the pain and said, "Ginseng, hurry up."
The female official hurriedly took out the ginseng she had prepared and replaced the one in the princess' mouth.
Zhu Lan said, "Don't sleep. If the baby doesn't come out, he will suffocate to death. Can you bear it?"
Xue Han couldn't bear it. Mother and child are connected by heart. Xue Han didn't dare to close her eyes. She gathered her last bit of strength and heard the midwife say push. She pushed several times in a row. Just when she had no more strength, the midwife shouted, "It's born, it's born."
Zhulan had no time to care about the child she had just given birth to. She only saw her daughter close her eyes, and she was so scared that her soul almost flew away. "Someone, come, the imperial physician."
The female official's heart skipped a beat and she quickly checked her breath. Fortunately, she was breathing. She then felt her pulse and found that her face did not look good.
The midwife was already shouting, "Hemorrhage, heavy bleeding."
Zhulan's mind was buzzing. It was no use slapping her daughter at this time. She could only say with tears in her eyes: "You have to hold on. You must hold on."
Everyone outside the delivery room was happy to hear that the baby was born, but then they heard the news of heavy bleeding, and everyone fell silent in an instant.
No one cared whether the child was a boy or a girl, they were all waiting for news on the rescue.
Zhulan didn't know how long she had been crying, she only knew that her daughter's hands were a little cold. She kept rubbing her daughter's hands, talking about her daughter's childhood, about her daughter and son-in-law leaving Beijing, how much Linxi and Ze'er missed their mother, and how pitiful children were without their mothers to protect them.
In the end, Zhulan remembered nothing. When she woke up, she sat up suddenly. Her throat was very sore, and she fell when she got out of bed.
Zhou Shuren went to see his daughter. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife sitting on the ground crying. His heart was instantly in knots. "Where did you fall? Where does it hurt?"
Zhulan covered her chest with her hands, her voice was hoarse, "It hurts here, it hurts here, our daughter."
The yard was quiet and she could only think of the worst news: her daughter was gone.
Zhou Shuren was stunned for a moment. He wanted to pick up his wife but failed. He could only help her up. "My daughter made it. She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that she will be fine as long as she wakes up."
Zhulan burped, "Really?"
"How could I lie to you? The child was held in my daughter's belly for a long time. She was weak and her lungs were not in good condition. Even if she took good care of the child, it would still leave a root of disease. Fortunately, the child survived."
Last night, my daughter's bleeding stopped, and then there was chaos in the delivery room again. It turned out that his wife had fainted. Last night was very chaotic and no one dared to sleep all night. He did not go to the morning court and stayed with his wife the whole time.
Zhulan kept burping, and drinking water didn't help. She sniffed, "Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
Zhulan heard the hesitation in Shuren's tone, "What's wrong? Is Ning Xu unhappy because the child has problems?"
"Ning Xu is very happy. What I want to say is that Xue Han had a difficult delivery and heavy bleeding. The number of fetal movements and gasps was also frequent. She was completely injured and will not be able to have another child in the future."
Zhulan exhaled, "It's not good to be born, it's not good to be born."
She really couldn't bear it again. She was too old and couldn't take it.
Zhou Shuren also thought so, "I just don't know what the royal family thinks."
"What do you think? As long as Rongchuan is firm in his attitude, it will be fine. Besides, the Prince Qin's Mansion already has a son and a daughter."
It’s not like we don’t have a son. The Prince of Qin’s Mansion has Ze’er.
