Chapter 350: Stormy
Su Shengsheng's coordination was kept secret from her family, but now that the information is available, everyone in the Su family knows about it.
After hearing that Xie Xuan had returned, before they could even catch their breath, they received the news that Su Shengsheng was about to give birth.
The Su family was in a state of chaos, even noisier than the battle outside.
"What should we do? Sheng'er is less than eight months old!"
Although Li had given birth to two children, she immediately gave in.
Jiao couldn't even pull it up, so she had to do it herself.
Mrs. Zhong ordered the maids to boil water. In the chaos, she didn't expect the baby to be born so soon, so she didn't hire a midwife.
At this moment, I was afraid that there would be too many people involved, so I just did it myself.
Madam Su stayed with Su Shengsheng, who had just been sent back, and kept comforting her, "Don't be afraid. You've survived such a storm, so you'll definitely be able to get through this."
Because Qingning was pregnant, it was not appropriate for her to go into the delivery room, so she waited in the main room.
Ning Yu handed Su Shengsheng warm water and snacks, and followed the instructions of the ladies to let Su Shengsheng eat more when she could so that she would have strength.
At such a critical moment, the male host was not there.
But the Su family can understand him.
He even gave up the overall situation of the imperial capital, which shows his love for Su Shengsheng.
He had already rushed to southern Xinjiang at this time, and the moment he learned that Jun Yao had taken action, he must have turned back out of worry.
But everyone was in a heavy mood.
It's just because Su Shengsheng's pregnancy is too young...
It's hard to keep a child this big...
Bai Ping, who had been rescuing people from the front, immediately rushed back when she heard that Su Shengsheng was about to give birth.
After some hesitation, he still notified Bai Shuo.
The truth is, she wasn't completely sure.
The two siblings arrived, and Bai Shuo took their pulse through the curtain.
He didn't say anything about protecting the elders or the young ones, but his tightly furrowed brows made everyone's hearts tense.
"My water has broken, and the contractions are infrequent. I need to induce labor. If it's placental abruption, I'm afraid it will cause heavy bleeding..."
During the period of prenatal care, Su Shengsheng had already shared knowledge in this area with him, but some of it was beyond the reach of traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, if there is bleeding, a blood transfusion is necessary.
And this blood type matching also requires effort.
Su Shengsheng understood after hearing this, "If I don't dare to use it, how can I help other women in labor? Mr. Bai, just give it a try."
The placenta is like a ripe melon stem. If it is not mature, it will damage itself. Only when it is ripe will it peel off naturally.
But we don’t have those things here, we can only rely on technology and experience.
Li, who was running around anxiously outside, couldn't understand what they were saying at all, but she was also very scared.
But this time she didn't shed tears, because she knew this was a critical moment and she had to hold on.
The Su family no longer has such strict separation between men and women as before, so naturally they do whatever the doctor says.
Bai Shuo asked Bai Ping to prepare blood type matching and draw blood.
At this time, many things cannot be taken care of.
We can only take one step at a time.
Su Shengsheng, on the other hand, remained silent, which made people even more worried.
Qing Ran seemed to be worried about her, "Miss, if you want to shout, just shout it out."
Su Shengsheng laughed a little, "Those are all wrong ways. You need to gather your strength at this time. If you use all your strength on shouting, how can you have the strength to give birth to a child?"
At this time, the oxygen produced in the laboratory had been delivered. After Su Shengsheng inhaled the oxygen, he felt a little stronger.
She glanced at the family members gathered around, who were eager to do the job themselves, and shook her head helplessly.
"Alright, stop watching the monkey show and go get some rest. You haven't taken the labor-inducing medicine yet, so there won't be any labor in the short term."
Hearing that she understood better than them, the three ladies from the third room looked at each other in bewilderment.
Grandma, on the other hand, was quite calm. "Sheng girl is right. You guys just go and rest. We'll take turns. I'll go first."
But at this time, who can wait patiently?
The son-in-law went to pursue the Emperor of Beirong. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Nanzhao Kingdom broke out of the city, and the Duke of Ningguo also led his troops to chase after them.
Although Tianqian Pass is quieter than Yunzhou, there are still bandits from various countries who have sneaked in and are burning, killing and looting.
Even though there were generals guarding the city, the Su family, who had never experienced turmoil, could not help but feel frightened.
As for the imperial capital, there is no news at all and no one knows what the situation is.
Now rumors are spreading everywhere in the city, even the rumor that Xie Xuan is leading troops to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate has been spread, which shows how chaotic it is.
But seeing Su Shengsheng's face covered in cold sweat, and having to appease everyone else, they had no choice but to retreat for the time being.
Only after half of the people had left did Su Shengsheng breathe a sigh of relief.
When she turned around and saw Qingran staring at her without blinking, she couldn't breathe.
"Qingran, didn't you say you wanted to become a female general? Don't keep guarding me. I believe that with your skills, becoming the first female general in Nanling is a piece of cake."
Qing Ran's face was completely frozen, "I... I..."
Su Shengsheng propped herself up slightly. "I know you're worried about your background, but the situation was chaotic back then and the government wasn't working. But now the situation is very different. You can make your own decision."
Ning Yu also looked over. "Yes, it was hard to tell who was right and who was wrong back then. But if the young lady hadn't debunked this rumor, it would have become a reality..."
Having said this, she couldn't continue.
It was because he thought that Su Shengsheng took the risk alone in order to rally people's hearts and prevent the traitorous Jun family and Nanzhao Kingdom from taking advantage of the opportunity.
But now life and death are unpredictable...
But with Su Shengsheng's encouragement, Qingran's eyes gradually became firm, "But Miss..."
Su Shengsheng forced a smile. "I'm lying in bed, unable to go anywhere. But I can't let out this anger either. Why don't you help me take care of a few war criminals so I can vent."
Su Shengsheng's words are like this, they can easily give people strength.
Although Qingran was hesitant, she knew that there was nothing she could do if she stayed.
It would be better to do as Su Shengsheng said and kill to your heart's content.
"Take care, Miss. I'm leaving now." Qing Ran stood with his sword in his arms.
Su Shengsheng nodded, "Maybe women will be able to become female generals in the future."
Qingran smiled slowly, but immediately became serious.
She bowed solemnly again before slowly retreating.
Su Shengsheng asked her to leave for a reason.
She hopes that women can first live out their own lives instead of relying on anything.
You don't have to ask for anyone's permission to do what you want.
Half of the Qilin Army has surrounded Yunzhou and is gradually narrowing the encirclement.
In addition to the Nanzhao soldiers who retreated when they saw the situation was not good, there were too many wanted criminals on the list who were looting indiscriminately in the city.
But she believed that this time they would never succeed.
There was constant war along the border of Nanling from north to south.
Meanwhile, inside the imperial capital, the siege was also underway to attack the reinforcements.
But they had no idea that the one who was leading the troops to encircle and attack the reinforcement general was not Xie Xuan at all.
Zong Zhengrui was like a turtle trapped in a jar, unable to move even if he wanted to.
He could only watch as the Northern Rong stirred up Yu Chang's ambitions and attacked the northern border.
Even if he wanted to reconcile with Xie Xuan and fight against the foreign enemies first, he no longer had the opportunity.
The son of Duke Ningguo had long since disappeared from prison.
Even his silly little brother was nowhere to be seen.
Zong Zheng Ruijin could only helplessly sink into the throne, leaving Nanling to drift in the wind and rain, but he was powerless to save the situation.
