Chapter 147 Induced Labor
"Congratulations, Concubine."
When Nanny Gui was serving the concubine in the morning, she immediately congratulated her, saying that the concubine had finally regained the prince's favor.
"Okay, Your Highness, please be sure to prepare your things for your long journey."
Concubine Fang glanced at her and said, "I was too anxious before."
If she had done this earlier, perhaps she would have been pregnant earlier instead of wasting so much time.
Now, she has stopped taking fertility-enhancing drugs. If she can get more favor from the prince, she will definitely be able to get pregnant again.
"Yes, it's best if Concubine thinks so."
Nanny Gui was relieved and immediately ordered people to start preparing. While they were preparing seriously, Nanny Gui asked quietly, "What about Concubine Li..."
"Of course, this concubine wouldn't harm anyone, but if there's heavy bleeding or a difficult birth, and the child dies in the womb, what does that have to do with me?"
Concubine Fang lowered her eyes and glanced at Nanny Gui: "Then arrange for someone to take a good look. If it's a daughter, it's fine. But if it's a son, he will die young."
"yes."
Nanny Gui responded softly and immediately prepared to make arrangements.
In Youlan Courtyard, Shen Lingshu was also making preparations enthusiastically. At the same time, she gave Song Fanghua from the Shen family, saying that perhaps her mother had something to bring back to South City.
After all, compared to Kyoto, the farm in South City is their home.
Shen Xinghe joined the army, which would be a good thing to divert some attention from Song Fanghua.
There are still three days before leaving.
Li Susu looked at the baby in her belly and saw that it didn't look like she was going to have an attack. The prince sent a lot of things to her yard, including a midwife.
But Li Susu didn't feel at ease at all, instead she became even more anxious.
"Doctor Lin, when will I give birth?" Li Susu asked anxiously while Doctor Lin came to take her pulse.
Doctor Lin pondered for a moment before saying, "I estimate it will take about ten days."
The baby has just entered the pelvis, and it will take some time for delivery.
Ten days?
The prince must have left and hasn't come back yet.
Li Susu looked at Doctor Lin, and the words came to her lips, but she swallowed them back. Finally, Li Susu could only quietly find Biyu and ask, "Biyu, if only I had a labor-inducing drug."
"no."
Biyu repeatedly shook her head and refused, "Master, it's better for the child to be born at full term. Induced labor won't work. I know you want to give birth while the prince is in the mansion, but the child is important."
"Okay, I'm just thinking about it."
Li Susu waved her hand and looked at Biyu's timid appearance. She instantly understood her past self. She was also so timid before, but now the son in her belly could not be harmed by others.
For her son's sake, she had to find a way to get him out earlier.
Auntie Hua...
Li Susu shook her head repeatedly. Aunt Hua only cared about whether the baby in her belly was safe and sound, and she definitely didn't want to induce labor. However, she tried every method, and the baby was still safely in her belly.
Finally, Li Susu found Cuiyu.
An hour later, Concubine Fang received the news.
"Concubine, do you want to..."
Nanny Gui spoke with a fierce look in her eyes. This was Aunt Li seeking her own death.
"No need." Concubine Fang raised her hand and said, "Let someone watch, don't interfere. Li wants to induce labor herself. If there are any problems during the induction process, it cannot be blamed on me."
"Madam Gui, send someone to keep a close eye on him. As long as it's a son, then..." Concubine Fang looked up at Madam Gui. She had bribed the midwife. As long as it was a son, he must not be kept.
"Don't worry, Concubine."
Aunt Gui said.
Cui Yu was like a thief. She was almost beaten to death last time, but this time she saved her life. Since Aunt Li asked her to buy medicine, as long as she did her job well, Aunt Li would definitely trust her.
Cuiyu secretly prepared the medicine outside and brought it back disguised as snacks.
"master."
Cuiyu handed over the snack box, and Aunt Hua stepped forward: "Wait a moment."
After checking the snacks on the plate and the syrup in the pot, Aunt Hua said, "Madam Li, water chestnut cakes are cold and shouldn't be eaten too much."
"I'll just eat a little bit, what's there to be afraid of?"
Li Susu said this and sent Aunt Hua away.
Cui Yu then took out the small water bottle hidden on her body as if by magic.
"Fortunately, this syrup is sweet."
Li Susu looked at the kettle in her hand, opened it, and smelled the faint medicinal fragrance. She swallowed it without hesitation, and then began to eat the sweet soup and snacks in no time.
She wanted to suppress the smell of the labor-inducing medicine and absolutely not let anyone know about it.
Cuiyu cleaned up the kettle containing the medicine.
Soon, Li Susu reacted. Her stomach began to hurt. She held her stomach and shouted, "Help, help! Help! I'm giving birth!"
The labor-inducing drug was very powerful, and she responded in just half an hour.
"Why is she about to give birth?"
Seeing Li Susu holding her stomach and crying in pain, Aunt Hua didn't have time to think about it. She immediately asked someone to find Doctor Lin and the midwife. At the same time, she sent a maid to the front yard to report the news.
Aunt Li is about to give birth, it would be best if the prince could come!
"ah……"
"Why does it hurt so much?"
Li Susu rolled around on the bed in pain. She never imagined that giving birth would be so painful.
The movements in Fontaine Courtyard could not be concealed from others. When Concubine Fang got the news, she immediately rushed over and arranged for people to prepare for the delivery.
"No, let the concubine's people go out."
Li Susu was in so much pain that when she heard Concubine Fang coming, she immediately shouted outside, "Concubine, you, you should leave quickly."
Concubine Fang will definitely harm her.
With this thought in mind, Li Susu shouted loudly. She asked the maid to shout, and finally looked at Aunt Hua: "Mammy, I, I don't want the concubine to come."
As Li Susu spoke, she was in so much pain that her consciousness became a little blurry.
Aunt Hua was silent for a moment. She understood Li Susu's thoughts and immediately went out to explain to Concubine Fang. Concubine Fang's expression remained unchanged, as if she understood. She said, "Aunt Hua, I will be waiting outside the courtyard."
After saying this, Concubine Fang took her people to guard outside.
Inside the room, there was a sound like a pig being slaughtered. Li Susu's screams rang out. Concubine Fang, who was sitting outside in the yard, was startled by the sound. She looked at Aunt Gui and asked, "Aunt, giving birth... is so painful?"
There was also a hint of fear in Concubine Fang's eyes.
"Concubine, this is how it is when women give birth." Nanny Gui said soothingly, as if it was just like eating and drinking water, not a big deal at all.
As night fell, Chu Cong went outside to pick out the best seeds. Just as he returned home, he heard a report from the backyard that Concubine Li was about to give birth. Chu Cong strode quickly to the Fengdan Courtyard and saw Concubine Fang sitting outside the courtyard. Chu Cong frowned and asked, "How is Concubine Li?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. The midwife just told me that the baby is growing big, so it will take a while for him to be born."
As Concubine Fang's soothing words fell, a scream was heard in the room, which scared Chu Cong. When Shen Lingshu gave birth to the child, there was no such scream.
