Su Muyan's labor pains continued, but the midwife had not come yet.
The old doctor was a little anxious: "If the midwife doesn't come..." It wouldn't be necessary for an elderly male doctor like him to be involved in such dirty things, right?
The old doctor didn't say the rest.
Li Sisi misunderstood what he meant, that Su Muyan might really die because of this.
Li Sisi hurriedly ordered the jailer to go out and see where the midwife had arrived.
Then he looked at the old doctor with a serious face and said, "Doctor, can you help me think of a solution? I can't let this happen right before your eyes, can I?"
Although Li Sisi hated Su Muyan, she still couldn't bear to see Su Muyan dying in childbirth in front of her.
The old doctor sighed helplessly.
Then, as if remembering something, he looked up and said, "Are there any women in this yamen who are better than children? We can ask them to help. If that's not possible, I'd like to trouble you to do it yourself, young lady."
Li Sisi waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I've never given birth to a child, I can't do it."
"That's all right. I'll be here to give you some pointers." He then urged, "Miss Lao, go get some hot water. Judging from the lady's condition, she should be well soon."
Li Sisi was also a little confused at the moment.
After hearing what the old doctor said, he immediately asked the jailer to boil some hot water.
"ah--"
Su Muyan was sweating profusely from the pain, and her hands were tightly grasping the straw on the ground.
Li Sisi frowned and said, "That won't work. It could easily get infected!"
She then ordered the jailer to bring a clean quilt and spread it on the floor.
Just as he helped Su Muyan onto the clean doctor's blanket, hurried footsteps sounded in the dungeon, followed by a loud shout.
"Yan'er!"
When Zhao Ju saw Su Muyan lying in the dungeon with a painful look on her face, his eyes, which were already red with anxiety, were now filled with sinister anger.
"Xiao Yunchen! Even if Yan'er is guilty, she is pregnant and about to give birth. How can you lock her up in this damp and dirty dungeon!"
Seeing Xiao Yunchen remained silent, Zhao Ju shouted, "You dogs, why don't you open him up!"
When the jailer saw Xiao Yunchen raising his hand to signal, he hurriedly opened the prison door with trembling hands.
Both of them are big shots in the capital, and he, a small jailer, can't afford to offend either of them!
At this time, the jailer who had been arranged to find a midwife early in the morning hurried over.
"The midwife is here!"
Hearing this shout, the old doctor in the prison breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Ju strode into the cell with a gloomy face: "Yan'er, I'll take you out right now!" After that, he squatted down and prepared to hug Su Muyan.
"It's too late. We can't move the woman in labor now!" the midwife exclaimed and came closer.
The midwife had delivered many babies, but this was her first time delivering a baby in a prison cell. At this moment, a life was at stake, so she couldn't care less.
He asked loudly, "Did you prepare hot water in advance?"
Li Sisi immediately replied, "Yes."
The midwife looked at the only woman in the cell and instantly felt like she had found someone who could help her.
"Then please ask Madam to quickly get some hot water, a hot towel, and scissors..." the midwife said one by one.
Li Sisi remembered everything and called the jailer to bring everything over. Still worried, she reminded him, "Hurry up! Don't waste time!"
"Yes!" The jailer responded and ran out immediately.
The midwife urged everyone else to leave quickly, and in the end only Li Sisi, the midwife, and the old doctor were left in the cell.
Outside, Zhao Ju was waiting anxiously.
Xiao Yunchen asked: "Can you tell me now? Who ordered you to poison me?"
Zhao Ju glared at him with his sinister eyes: "I'm not in the mood to talk to you about this now. Wait until Yan'er and the child are safe!"
After hearing this, Xiao Yunchen stopped asking questions and waited patiently.
After waiting for a long time, I finally heard the sound of a baby crying.
Zhao Ju's face lit up with joy and he quickly ran over.
The midwife held the child in her arms and said with a gratified tone, "Congratulations, Madam, on giving birth to a boy!"
However, no one responded to her words.
The midwife hesitated for a moment and looked down at the woman in labor, only to find that her face was pale, her lips were trembling, her eyes were dull, and only tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.
The old doctor was also panicked at this time and hurried forward to take Su Muyan's pulse.
Su Muyan twisted her head, her eyes fell on Li Sisi, and she suddenly smiled bitterly.
Li Sisi was completely confused and didn't understand why Su Muyan suddenly became like this.
"What happened to you? You and the child are safe."
"Child... hehehe" Su Muyan murmured with her pale lips, and then laughed as if mocking.
Li Sisi was startled by her nervous look and quickly asked the doctor, "Is she okay?"
"Your body is fine, but your emotions are fluctuating wildly, and you seem to be feeling pent up." The doctor frowned and sighed softly, "Madam, you need to take care of yourself, or else the root of your illness will remain, and it will be difficult to cure it later."
Zhao Ju also heard the old doctor's words outside the cell. When he thought of Wen Luoxin's words, his heart skipped a beat.
"Open the door quickly and let me in!"
Su Muyan suddenly sat up, frightening the midwife and doctor so much that they hurriedly stopped her: "No, no, lie down quickly."
Su Muyan turned a deaf ear to him, and her lifeless eyes were filled with resentment.
"Zhao Ju! You lied to me!"
"Yan'er, listen to my explanation!"
Su Muyan turned a deaf ear to his words and was immersed in her own emotions.
"You teamed up with Wen Luoxin to trick me into drinking the potion, causing me to lose my memory. You also took advantage of my amnesia to trick me into marrying you and tricked me into giving birth to a child! Zhao Ju, I hate you!"
