"Has it started?" Zheng Jie and Peng asked anxiously.
"Mother, boil water, prepare the children's clothes, boil lots of water, mother-in-law, midwife, get the midwife to help Miss Shen."
"Brother, the midwife has already gone to the delivery room and is waiting." Lu Qiu said cleverly.
Su Sijin had already prepared for the midwife two months ago and arranged for her to live in Lu's house in order to deal with possible emergencies.
Just before Lu Qiuling went to find Mrs. Peng, she first went to find a midwife, and then left the Lu residence to find Mrs. Peng.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Peng said she wanted to go home, but she didn't expect that Su Sijin would start a movement after she left for a while.
When Lu Changgong brought the person to the delivery room, Shen Tingyun was already ready, and the midwife was waiting on the side.
The hot water was ready, and Su Sijin would cry bitterly every once in a while.
Lu Changgong held Su Sijin's hand from beginning to end, comforting her again and again.
At first, Su Sijin was able to drive people away, but the contractions were too intense, and in the end, she had no energy to think about anything else.
The contractions were so painful, like the pain drilling into my bones.
"Ah..." Su Sijin finally couldn't hold back her pain and cried out. Two hours had passed since the onset of the disease, and the child still showed no signs of coming out.
Her cervix wouldn't open, and it was no use excruciatingly painful for her.
Lu Changgong wished he could feel the pain in her place. He would rather feel the pain himself than Su Sijin.
Su Sijin was soaked in pain, and her hair was sticky.
Su Sijin was in so much pain that she threatened her unborn child, "Ah... stinky boy, if you don't come out, mother... mother... when you come out, mother will spank you."
And what responded to her was even more intense labor pains.
Lu Changgong pursed his lips in pain, his veins were visibly blue and frightening, and the storm in his eyes was like a whirlpool, truly terrifying.
"Your Highness, Sister Su's amniotic fluid has dried up, and her cervix is still not dilating. Sister Su has very little energy left. She cannot... cannot give birth to the children on her own."
It’s so difficult to give birth to one baby, and Su Sijin is already pregnant with three.
The key is that the amniotic fluid is gone and the baby may die in the womb at any time.
"What do you mean? What does it mean that the amniotic fluid has dried up? What does it mean that the cervix is not dilated?" Lu Changgong didn't understand. He only knew that Su Sijin's condition was not optimistic. Fear... Fear...
Lu Changgong didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it.
Su Sijin waited until the pain subsided, and while her mind was still clear, she ordered, "Lu Changgong, go out, Tingyun, prepare for surgery."
The amniotic fluid had dried up. As a doctor, she knew better than anyone else that if she delayed any further, the baby might...
Lu Changgong was pushed out of the delivery room by the midwife.
He fell to the ground with a pale face, guarding the door and staring at the closed door.
At first, I could still hear Su Sijin's muffled groans, but as time went by, the delivery room became unusually quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if...
Zheng Jie, Mrs. Peng, Feng Jingran, Su Yongqing, Su Jinse's siblings, Lu Changji and Lu Qiuling, Xiao Huzi, Zeng Zhipeng's wife and others were waiting outside the delivery room eagerly.
They stretched their necks, waiting, praying and begging.
Everyone's face was solemn, worried, and anxious, because the person they loved was suffering.
An hour later, a loud cry was heard. Everyone was startled and rushed to the door of the delivery room. When the midwife brought a white and chubby baby to Lu Changgong.
Lu Changgong didn't even glance at the child in the midwife's arms. He only asked worriedly, "Is the princess okay? How is the princess?"
Mrs. Peng took the child over, and the midwife said that the princess was doing well and went in to help.
Half an hour later, two more children were brought out. The children were well-raised, plump, and in good spirits.
Three boys.
Su Sijin's prediction came true.
But there was no news from Su Sijin, and Lu Changgong was always worried. Now that the three children were finally born, Lu Changgong was obviously relieved.
Now all that's left is to suture the wound.
When Lu Changgong was relieved, the midwife exclaimed again, "The princess is pregnant with another one, wait a little longer!"
After the midwife finished speaking, she closed the door and went back in to help.
"What? There's another one?" Everyone didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"There are not enough clothes prepared. I'll go find clothes for the baby." Zheng Jie came to his senses and remembered that there were only clothes for three babies in the delivery room.
However, she only needed to look in the inner room. Knowing in advance that she was pregnant with three children, she and Mrs. Peng had prepared a lot of clothes. Now she just had to go back and get them.
Another half hour passed, and there was still no movement inside. The fourth child took even longer than the previous three.
Lu Changgong couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
Will it be...
The wait was long and agonizing. Just when Lu Changgong could no longer hold back and was about to rush in, a cat-like cry finally rang out. It was so quiet that it was thought to be an illusion.
After a while, the midwife came in late and opened the door. "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! The princess and the child are both healthy. The fourth child is a girl."
The midwife carefully handed the child to Lu Changgong. It was wrinkled and not even half the size of a palm. It was too small. Compared to her three brothers, it looked like... like an elf. If you weren't careful...
Although the child is young, one can still see the shadow of Su Sijin in his eyes and eyebrows.
Lu Changgong was too nervous to hold the doll in his arms. Xiao Si was too small and she was a girl. He was afraid that he would accidentally break the porcelain doll.
"Your Highness, please wait a minute. Miss Shen is helping the princess sew up her wound. Miss Shen said that the princess gave birth safely and her wounds are sutured. She will be able to talk and laugh again by this time tomorrow."
The midwife remembered what Shen Tingyun had told her, and looked at the porcelain doll kindly, “The young lady is delicate and needs careful care.”
Zheng Jie held the porcelain doll and took out four silver bills from his purse and handed them to the midwife. "Thank you for your hard work. Please continue to take care of my daughter-in-law for a few more days."
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all. It's my humble duty to help deliver three little boys and girls."
The royal palace was very generous and they spent four hundred taels of silver at once. She had worked for decades and had not earned even a hundred taels.
This... doesn't feel real!
The midwife put the banknotes away with a smile, and explained some things that the baby and the mother needed to pay attention to.
Finally, Zheng Jie brought out the majesty of an old lady and veiled a warning: "I don't want to hear about what happened in the delivery room outside the Lu residence. I also don't want to hear anything about the young masters and young ladies. Otherwise, you will know that you are committing a crime of contempt for the royal family, and contempt for the royal family will bring consequences to the entire family."
"You were invited by my daughter-in-law. I trust my daughter-in-law, but there might be someone with ulterior motives, right?"
The midwife was sweating profusely from Zheng Jie's coercion and treatment, and finally felt the true terror of the royal family. She had no doubt that if she dared to speak nonsense...
The midwife touched the thin layer of sweat on the back of her neck and said frankly that she dared not and promised to swear.
