Chapter 271 Twins
Gu Huan quickly whispered, "Help him up quickly."
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua were stunned for a moment and quickly helped the blushing Zhao Luoxuan up.
Zhao Luoxuan lowered her head in shame and hid behind the maid.
The young man, whose face turned pale from being pressed, smiled indifferently and got up by himself.
Fortunately, their stacked posture was blocked by Gu Huan, and no one else saw it.
Gu Huan calmed herself down, turned her head and glared at the Huang father and son who were rolling on the ground in pain.
"So, your purpose is so sinister, you are coming for the posthumous child of Duke Yong!" The people from Juzhou present were furious at anyone who dared to touch the child of Duke Yong. They rushed forward and surrounded the group of troublemakers and their relatives and beat them violently.
The hall was too small to maneuver, so they simply dragged the man out. The onlookers outside were already filled with righteous indignation, and they rushed forward, stepped on the man, and kicked and stomped him.
Gu Huan suddenly felt her lower abdomen tightening and even experienced waves of dull pain. It seemed that a liquid was about to flow out and she thought something was wrong.
Or was it because of the emotional ups and downs that led to premature birth!
Seeing that the situation outside was out of control, Gu Huan immediately ordered: "Sir Governor, the Black Armor Guards outside are under your command. They cannot die. All of them should be locked up in the prison. Wait until the peace negotiation team arrives in Juzhou before making a decision."
"Don't worry, ma'am."
The prefect was terrified when he saw that she looked unhappy, hunched over, and seemed to be unable to stand steadily.
"Madam, are you about to give birth? Come back home quickly."
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua supported Gu Huan and carefully went out from the back door. Zhao Luoxuan followed closely behind with her face turned pale with fright.
Akabane and the others didn't care about the troublemakers. They arranged vehicles and protected Gu Huan while retreating out through the back door.
After getting on the carriage, the black-armored guards had already blocked the road, and the carriage drove quickly towards the Duke of Yong's Mansion.
The pain in Gu Huan's lower abdomen became more and more intense. She clenched her teeth, stroked her lower abdomen gently, and murmured secretly in her heart.
Good boy, wait a moment.
You must land safely, and you must see your father safely.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the mansion and went straight into the gate.
The guards had already rushed back to the mansion to report to the old lady, who was already waiting at the door with Yi Niang, Shen Li and others.
"Quick, carry it into the inner room in a sedan chair."
The old lady gave orders calmly.
Yi Niang has already taken people to prepare hot water and other supplies for delivery.
The birth started almost a month early, which made the two midwives and two wet nurses who had been prepared early in the morning a little nervous, but they were not afraid as they were experienced.
Soon, Gu Huan was placed in the delivery room.
At this moment, she was sweating all over. It was her first time giving birth and she was giving birth to premature twins. Although she was nervous, she had taken very good care of herself during this period and was in good physical condition. In addition, the old lady taught her the key points of life every day, and there were so many people around her to protect her, so she was not afraid.
The cramping pain in her abdomen and the unbearable back pain tortured her so much that she felt like she was falling apart and her face turned pale with pain.
"The water has broken. We need to deliver the baby immediately."
The midwife appeared calm on the surface, but she could not hide her nervousness.
After all, they are the Duke’s posthumous children, and they are twins.
"Let's get started." Another midwife had already rolled up her sleeves.
The old lady came in, held Gu Huan's hand, and said softly but firmly, "Don't be afraid, children. These two children are very strong."
Gu Huan felt relieved upon hearing this and nodded: "Don't worry, mother."
But as a first-time mother, it was not easy to deal with the premature birth of twins.
Gu Huan tried her best to breathe as hard as the midwife told her, but her body was so slender that she still cried out in pain.
The old lady's eyes turned red as she watched.
Chen Li gave Gu Huan a bowl of ginseng soup, and when he saw this, he walked over to check and frowned, "It needs to be cut open!"
The midwife was shocked: "Oh no, what will happen to my wife in the future?"
Chen Li said coldly: "What should we do? Giving birth to a child is more important!"
Although the old lady had given birth to three children and was very experienced, she was strong and had never experienced a situation where she could not give birth due to a small pelvis.
But Gu Huan was about to faint from the pain, so she made up her mind: "Chen Li, I'll listen to you."
Chen Li immediately took out a pill and stuffed it into Gu Huan's mouth, then dissolved another pill in water and applied it to the wound.
He took a sharp knife from the medicine box and warmed it over the candlelight.
"It might hurt, just bear with it."
Chen Li said to Gu Huan while holding a knife.
Gu Huan's face turned pale and she nodded: "Give me a towel to bite."
Donghua stuffed a towel into her hand with red eyes.
After discussing with the midwife, Chen Li acted decisively.
Soon, a baby's loud voice was heard, and everyone in the room was delighted.
A midwife held the baby in her arms and said happily, "Girl, it's a girl."
The old lady was already in tears. She had never believed in ghosts or gods, so she clasped her hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
The first girl in the three generations of the Mu family.
"It's out, it's out, it's a little boy." Another midwife shouted happily.
The second one was also born safely.
The baby's face turned red and he couldn't cry for a long time.
The old lady slapped her lightly on the buttocks, and the kitten-like boy hummed and started to cry softly.
Gu Huan was almost too weak to even open her eyes.
Shen Li quickly sewed her up, covered her with a quilt, and fed her some milk.
The old lady was holding a baby in one hand and smiling from ear to ear.
"Although they were born 20 days prematurely, the babies are still very strong, especially the older sister, who doesn't look like a premature baby at all."
The midwife who delivered my boy said with a smile.
"The young master is not bad either. His voice is thin, but he is also very energetic."
The midwife who delivered the little boy also spoke quickly.
"Okay, okay, the twins are both very good. Here's a reward. I'll give each of you 100 taels of silver."
The old lady smiled and walked to Gu Hua's bedside while holding the two children in her arms: "My children, you have worked hard. You have made great contributions to the Mu family."
Gu Huan's eyes were moist and she smiled, "As long as the child is safe."
The two wet nurses took the children away.
Akabane and the others were waiting outside nervously, and when they heard the baby crying twice, they jumped up with excitement.
Chi Yan stood in the darkness behind the crowd, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, left quietly, and released a pigeon to inform his master.
…
Bianjing Imperial Palace, Funing Palace.
The beginning of the Yin hour.
Mu Junyan unfolded the note in his hand and saw only two words: Dragon and Phoenix.
His mind went blank for a moment, and it took him a while to react.
My heart began to beat uncontrollably, as if it was going to burst through my chest.
An expression of disbelief appeared on her face, the corners of her mouth lifted uncontrollably, a deep smile spread in her eyes, her eye sockets turned slightly red, and she murmured to herself: "I have a pair of children? I really have children! I really have children!"
Soon, he returned to normal and burned the note over the candle flame.
He took out a small copper flute and put it to his mouth and blew it.
No sound was made.
Soon, a eunuch appeared from the darkness and whispered to him, "My lord, what do you want me to do?"
“It’s time to close the net!”
"yes."
Mu Junyan looked at the bright moon in the sky, his eyes filled with unconcealed excitement and more determination than usual.
Although I was ecstatic, I was still worried and distressed.
According to the date, Huan'er was born prematurely.
She had no idea how much suffering she had endured and how many shocks she had suffered.
But he could only suppress his guilt towards her and his mother and stay in the imperial palace in the capital.
Only when he was around would the emperor feel at ease to let them return to Juzhou.
Only when they are safe can he let go and kill with all his might!
