Chapter 519 Miss Wen launched
When the Fourth Master asked this, Doctor Liu frowned for a moment, his beard trembling twice before he said, "Master, to be honest, I haven't encountered many cases of twins. I did encounter one when I was young, and the baby was born after seven months. Doctor Liu is quite knowledgeable. We have also discussed the girl's pulse diagnosis, and we feel that she should be giving birth soon."
Although there is no response so far, Lord Beile can rest assured that the girl is in good health and it looks like everything will be fine.
It is rare for a twin pregnancy to not result in premature birth. I think the girl will go into labor within a few days.
Master, please do not worry. The girl is in much better shape than other women. Both mother and child will be safe."
It would have been fine if Doctor Liu hadn't mentioned this, but once he did, the Fourth Master immediately became even more upset.
Because of this special case earlier, the Fourth Master has been carefully examining all the cases of twins in recent years.
Only then did we realize that the recorded safe births of twins account for less than 30%.
Either the fetus cannot be delivered and suffocates to death in the pregnant woman's womb, or the baby is born stillborn.
There were also cases where both children were safe, but after giving birth to one, the pregnant woman suffered from hemorrhage and died.
In the past, there were some mothers and children who were all safe, but one of the children was weak and sickly, and died before he could live for a few years.
The more the Fourth Master looked, the more frightened he became. In addition, Jiu'er's belly was much bigger than that of an ordinary person. The Fourth Master was afraid that it would be difficult for her to give birth, so he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Master, please don't worry. After all, the pregnancy lasts for ten months. It won't be too late for the girl to pass away. We just need to wait patiently."
When the Fourth Master heard this, he rubbed his forehead and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, you can go down first."
Wait patiently?
Others can wait patiently, but I can't!
There has been chaos in the imperial court recently, with rebels active in the Rehe area. Recently, news reached us that rebels had even set fire to the government office. Officials' heads were cut off and hung from the city walls.
The surrounding officers and soldiers immediately went over to suppress the riot, but they only caught some small fry, but the people were already in chaos.
Furthermore, officials escorting military pay to the border were recently intercepted by daring thieves. Most of the food was lost, and now the border soldiers' supplies are not guaranteed. Some deserters have gone to the homes of the people and are robbing them, causing chaos everywhere.
The emperor obviously wanted him to go to Rehe and escort a batch of supplies to the border.
But at this moment, how can the Fourth Master be at ease?
Even if he gave birth, he didn't want to leave immediately.
In addition, there was a sudden snowstorm this year, which caused widespread complaints from the people and reduced grain production. Speaking of which, the Ministry of Revenue was also severely short of silver.
The construction of the Emperor's summer resort was halfway through and was also stopped because there was no money. The first priority now was to transport supplies to the soldiers at the border. A large amount of silver was needed.
In the past two days, the emperor has been busy like a top, with no day off.
The Fourth Master also wished he could give birth to more clones.
This day was another sleepless night after all. The Fourth Master tossed and turned on the couch, unable to fall asleep. Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the side of the warm wine, leaned against her, closed his eyes and rested for a while.
The next morning, before daybreak, the imperial physician was called in to take her pulse. There was still no movement in her stomach, so the Fourth Master got up and went to court again.
These days, things have been happening one after another, and the atmosphere in the court has become noticeably more serious. Even Emperor Kangxi's hair seems to have turned a little gray.
After the ministers finished discussing the important matters, they all began to advise: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."
Emperor Kangxi waved his hand and pointed to a few ministers to stay and discuss countermeasures together.
In fact, the most worrying thing for Emperor Kangxi was not the incidents. The rebels were strangled, and the soldiers lost food, so they sent some more. The grain production was reduced, but it was not to the point of having no food to eat. As long as there was money in the treasury, although it was a little difficult, it could be solved.
What I am most worried about is that with so many things happening at the same time, we may lose the support of the people.
But at this time, the weather is bad and cholera breaks out frequently, and the people will only think that there is something wrong with the court's governance.
Earlier in Yangzhou, we had managed to win back some popular support, but what could we do? After all, the place was too small, and most of the information was spread by word of mouth. In more distant places, it had little effect. We still needed to find some way to restore the court's reputation.
These first few old ministers naturally knew what Emperor Kangxi was worried about, and proposed various policies to benefit the people, but Emperor Kangxi always shook his head. In the end, he only finalized the disaster relief method.
The Fourth Master and the other princes had been listening in. Now that the terms had been almost finalized, he couldn't help but clasp his fists and say, "Father Your Majesty, may I return home first?"
I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I feel so anxious. The weapon in my hand is also getting hot, and the fourth master is really worried.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to the Fourth Master.
This Fourth Prince is now considered a rising star among the princes, and his favor is no less than that of the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi back then.
But he never thought that just when he was about to relieve the emperor's worries, he would actually ask to go out? For a moment, the ministers all looked at the Fourth Master with some disapproval.
The Fourth Master had no time to pay attention to the thoughts of the old ministers next to him, and looked straight at Emperor Kangxi who was sitting at the top.
When Emperor Kangxi looked at the Fourth Master's appearance, he understood what he meant and remembered that Wenjiu was pregnant. His depressed heart felt a little relieved. It could be said that there was a happy event recently.
He immediately asked, "How is Miss Wen doing now?"
The Fourth Master nodded when he heard this. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. She's in good health, but the Imperial Physician said she's going into labor soon. My son is a little worried, so I'm thinking of keeping watch over her a little longer."
Emperor Kangxi nodded when he heard this. Speaking of which, this was a very happy event for the royal family. Once the two children were born safely, it would be an exciting thing, as it meant that the royal family would have many descendants.
He said, "Send a few imperial doctors to watch over them and make sure that mother and child are safe."
The Fourth Master nodded and said, "Yes." He then said, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."
Emperor Kangxi nodded and waved to the Fourth Master.
The Fourth Master turned around and was about to leave when he saw Liang Jiugong hurried into the room with a look of anxiety on his face. Seeing how crowded the crowd was, he didn't dare to reply for a moment.
Emperor Kangxi frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"
Liang Jiugong saluted, glanced at the Fourth Master again, and said, "To answer your Majesty, the Fourth Master's guard just came over and said that Miss Wen had started it."
