Chapter 427 Fatigue
My eldest sister is finally about to give birth.
Chen Wan couldn't wait to see her little nephew, but she thought of the pain of childbirth in her previous life. Her elder sister's belly was so big, the child would definitely not be small, and she didn't know how much suffering she would have to endure.
It was already evening, and Chen Wan couldn't go to Zhaopingbo's mansion. She hoped to receive good news from Zhaopingbo's mansion early tomorrow morning.
That night, Chen Wan prayed for her elder sister, hoping that both mother and child would be safe.
When he woke up in the morning, Shanhu Yinchuan came into the room to serve him. As soon as Chen Wan got out of bed, he asked, "Did the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion send anyone to announce the good news?"
Shanhu shook her head, "Not yet..."
Lady Zhaoping knew that she was concerned about her elder sister, and if she gave birth, she would definitely send someone to tell her the good news as soon as possible.
Chen Wan also knew that childbirth would not be quick, especially since her eldest sister was the first child. Some took a long time to give birth, sometimes taking three days and three nights.
But for some reason, Chen Wan felt vaguely uneasy, worried that her eldest sister's delivery would not go smoothly.
When a woman gives birth, she is on the verge of death. She cannot help but worry. Her eldest sister's life was saved with great difficulty, and Shen Wan does not want any mistakes to happen.
After breakfast, Chen Wan was going to the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion. Xie Jingyu was not convenient to accompany her, so he asked Chen Ping to escort her.
But when Shen Wan left the house, his eyelids twitched violently and his heart was in a panic, as if he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
Shen Wan had already stepped out of the door when he turned around and told Manager Zhou, "Send someone to the palace to invite Zhao Yuanzheng and have him go to the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion."
Manager Zhou knew that the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhaoping was in labor, but if anything happened, the Crown Prince's Mansion would invite an imperial physician for him, so there was no need for the Crown Prince's wife to invite Zhao Yuanzheng.
But when Shen Wan's maid fell ill, Zhao Yuanzheng came to see her, which was considered to be his call.
Manager Zhou agreed and quickly sent someone to take the prince's invitation to the Imperial Hospital to invite Director Zhao.
Chen Wan took the coral and silver bracelet and went to the Zhaoping Marquis's mansion in a carriage.
When the servant of the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion saw the carriage of the Jingbei Prince's Mansion, he knew that Chen Wan had arrived. The Jingbei Prince's Consort and their Prince's Wife had a deep sisterly love. Even though her belly was so big, she still rushed to the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion to wait for the Prince's Wife to give birth.
The servant came over quickly to help move the footstool. Shanhu came out of the carriage and asked, "Has my eldest aunt given birth yet?"
The servant shook his head, "Not yet."
Chen Wan stepped into the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion. The maid led the way and Chen Wan went to the courtyard where Chen Yu lived.
Just as I reached the gate, I saw Yun coming out. Yun looked worried and asked, "Why are you here too?"
Shen Wan said, "I'm worried, so I came to take a look."
Yun said, "Mom is here, what are you worried about? You can't enter the delivery room either, so go back."
Yun was afraid that Chen Wan would hear Chen Yu's cries of pain and would be scared when she turned back, which would affect the fetus in her womb.
If Chen Wan had never experienced the pain of childbirth, she would definitely be afraid, but she had given birth to two children in her previous life, so how could she still be afraid?
Shen Wan said, "I'm not afraid. I've already come here. How can mother bear to let me make a wasted trip? I want to see my little nephew before I go back."
When Chen Wan got stubborn, even several oxen couldn't pull him back, so Yun Shi didn't insist on taking him back.
If it weren't for Chen Wan, Chen Yu would have died at the bottom of the cliff long ago. Chen Wan is Chen Yu's lucky star. With Chen Wan around, the Yun family will feel more at ease.
In the yard, the Prince of Zhaoping and his wife were both present.
The Prince of Zhaoping was so anxious that he kept walking back and forth.
Lady Zhaoping's hands were shaking.
They all looked anxious.
Chen Wan paid her respects to Lady Zhaoping, who was somewhat frightened. Shen Wan was not the biological child of Shen Ji and Yun, and Yun had always asked Chen Wan to be filial to Old Tutor Lin and Old Madam Lin. Lady Zhaoping could not guess Shen Wan's identity.
Even if she didn't acknowledge her ancestral roots, she was still the emperor's most beloved princess. How could he condescend to pay his respects to her? But she couldn't pay her respects to Chen Wan either.
Lady Zhaoping said, "The Crown Princess and Yu'er's sisterly love is so touching. You are too heavy to stand for long, so go to the main hall and wait."
Shen Wan said, “I’ll go later.”
She waited with Yun for a while, and then she found out that the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion was afraid of any accidents, so they also invited a doctor just in case.
But he didn't hear much of Shen Yu's cries of pain, and Shen Wan became more and more uneasy.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yun asked Shen Wan to come into the house. Shen Wan was a little unsteady on her feet. However, just as she turned around, the door opened and the midwife came out and said, "The situation is not good. The mother's belly is too big, and her uterine contractions are weak. It's a difficult birth. You must be mentally prepared..."
Yun's face was pale and he was about to collapse.
The midwife wanted them to decide whether to save the older or younger child.
The Prince of Zhaoping asked, "What does this mean?"
The midwife said, "If you can't give birth, not only will the child be lost, but the adult will also be in danger. If you can only save one person, would you rather save the adult or..."
"Protect the Lord!"
The voice of the Prince of Zhaoping trembled.
This choice was within Shen Wan's expectations.
After Chen Yu got married, the Prince of Zhaoping wasted several years without arranging a marriage. He wanted to put his offspring first, so the children were already all over the place.
The wife of the Marquis of Zhaoping said, "Quickly let the doctor in to take a look."
The doctor was drinking tea in the main hall. Upon hearing this, he quickly put down his teacup and went into the delivery room carrying his medicine box.
Seeing Yun's pale face, Shen Wan said, "Mother, my elder sister will be fine..."
As long as the midwife protects Shen Yu, she will be fine, but what about the child?
After ten months of pregnancy, the mother finally waited for the birth to happen, but in the end she lost the baby. How could the mother bear this blow?
Why did her daughter have such a miserable life?
Yun's eyes were filled with tears of heartache, but she could do nothing to help.
When it came to having an heir, Yun was very grateful that the Prince of Zhaoping chose Chen Yu. After a woman got married, she would face a dilemma during childbirth, and her husband's family would have the final say. Even if she were here, if the Zhaoping Marquis's family was determined to protect the child, she, as a mother, might not be able to stop them.
The doctor entered the delivery room, and less than half a cup of tea later, the midwife came out again, and it was another midwife.
The Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion attached great importance to Chen Yu's pregnancy. Because her belly was big and they were afraid that the delivery would be difficult, they hired two midwives to deliver the baby.
The midwife said, "The doctor gave me acupuncture, but it was useless. You should make a decision as soon as possible."
The Prince of Zhaoping said, "I said, protect the lord!"
The sound was so loud that it scared the midwife.
Midwives help deliver babies, and such matters are decided by the elders. Lady Zhaoping and Yun didn't say anything. The midwife didn't know whether she should listen to the son of Zhaoping, so she asked more questions to avoid making mistakes.
Lady Zhaoping said, "Madam Baoshizi..."
Yun held Shen Wan's hand, her voice trembling, "Mother and child are safe, is there no hope at all?"
Which midwife wouldn’t want both mother and child to be safe?
The midwife said nothing and closed the door.
Shanhu stood behind Shen Wan and said, "Princess, Zhao Yuanzheng is here."
Shen Wan turned around and saw Zhao Yuanzheng coming in, followed by an imperial physician.
Dean Zhao came over, saluted Shen Wan, and then said, "Although I am the director of the Imperial Hospital, Doctor Lin is more proficient in women's childbirth, so I brought him here as well."
"Thank you, Dean Zhao."
