Her water broke!
Jiang Zhili's heart sank. Although Duoduo said that giving birth would be neither dangerous nor painful, it was her first time giving birth, so she was inevitably a little nervous.
She glanced at Pei Lin and tremblingly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my water seems to have broken..."
Pei Lin, who was leaning over the table looking at the memorial, threw the memorial in his hand onto the table and appeared in front of her the next moment.
Pei Lin's face was full of nervousness. He carefully picked up Jiang Zhili and walked quickly towards the dragon bed.
Jiang Zhili hooked her arms around Pei Lin's neck. She looked at her bulging belly, her heart tightened and her face turned pale.
In this era, there are no doctors, let alone various medical instruments...
Duoduo's mechanical voice rang out in her mind: "Host, please relax. Giving birth is very easy for your current body. The fetus is very healthy and in the right position. You don't need to be nervous at all!"
It has said these words to the host many times recently, but the host's spirit is still getting more and more tense day by day.
Jiang Zhili pursed her lips tightly, and she did not listen to Duoduo's words of comfort.
The system robot had no way of understanding her nervousness at the moment...
Duoduo's mechanical voice really sounds like an intelligent robot.
Pei Lin carefully placed Jiang Zhili on the dragon bed.
He took out a cushion and placed it on Jiaoniang's back, then softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Zhizhi. The imperial physician and the others will be here soon. I will be here with you."
The moment Zhizhi said her water had broken, Xiao Quanzi and Eunuch Li rushed out of the hall to call the imperial physician and others.
Jiang Zhili's face turned pale, and she felt her stomach starting to hurt.
The pain was not too painful. The system helped reduce most of it. It felt like the pain during menstruation, which was not unbearable.
The uneasiness in her heart came entirely from the fear of the unknown.
"Your Majesty, I'm having contractions," Jiang Zhili grabbed Pei Lin's arm, her grip a little tight due to nervousness.
Pei Lin felt the pain in his arm, but he didn't even frown.
If possible, he would rather suffer this pain on behalf of Zhizhi!
He extended his arm to Jiang Zhili, and his usually cold eyes were now filled with tenderness and heartache.
"Don't be nervous, Zhizhi. The pain means the baby is coming out soon. If you're scared, pinch me hard and I'll always be by your side."
This time, Pei Lin did not refer to himself as "I", but instead used "I".
He was protecting his beloved wife as a husband.
Jiang Zhili blinked and found it a little funny.
The corners of her pale lips curved slightly. "Your Majesty is really nervous. He even confused himself."
Pei Lin pursed his lips, looking straight into Jiao Niang's narrow eyes, and spoke word by word, "I have been on the throne for more than ten years, and I have never confused my name. In front of Zhizhi, I have always been a husband, not an emperor."
He had wanted to say this to Zhizhi for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. In addition, Zhizhi's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and her temper became more and more irritable. Sometimes she even didn't want to stay in the same room with him.
He was afraid that if he spoke too much, he would make mistakes, which is why he only spoke now...
Looking at Pei Lin's serious expression, Jiang Zhili felt a little sour in his nose.
Although she remained healthy after becoming pregnant, due to changes in hormone levels, she always disliked Pei Lin and felt that there was something wrong with him. Sometimes she would even give him the cold shoulder.
Which emperor could tolerate such an attitude from his concubine? He could only be so tolerant when dealing with his beloved.
Jiang Zhili wanted to thank Pei Lin, but at this time, the imperial physician and others had already walked into the hall in a mighty manner.
A large screen had been brought in front of the dragon bed by the palace servants.
The Empress Dowager and Liu Yan were the first to enter the hall. After entering, they hurriedly walked around the screen and headed towards the dragon bed.
The Queen Mother stepped forward and pushed Pei Lin into a corner.
Pei Lin: “…”
He is Zhizhi’s husband!
The Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Zhili, whose face was a little pale, lying on the bed, and her words were full of concern.
"Zhizhi, do you feel any discomfort?"
Liu Yan also came over, with heartache in her eyes.
Jiang Zhili shook his head: "The contractions started after the water broke, but other than that there was nothing unusual."
The Empress Dowager and Liu Yan felt relieved.
Tears glistened in Liu Yan's eyes. She stepped forward and held Jiang Zhili's hand. "Don't be afraid, Zhizhi. You are very healthy and will surely give birth to a prince smoothly. Mother will be guarding you outside..."
After saying this, Liu Yan and the Empress Dowager glanced at Jiang Zhili with longing, then walked away from behind the screen.
When it comes to childbirth, no outsiders are allowed to enter.
The midwife outside the screen walked in. She looked at Pei Lin who had not yet come out of the screen and knelt down. "Your Majesty, please wait outside. Women are extremely dirty when giving birth. I am afraid that it would offend Your Majesty."
In ancient times, when a woman was giving birth, men would stop, for fear that the smell of blood from the woman's body would shock the men.
There was a bad expression on Jiang Zhili's pale face.
As a modern person, she finds it difficult to accept the decadent ideas of ancient times.
Pei Lin sat down next to Jiang Zhili again with a cold face. He said in a cold tone, "You are the midwife. You only need to do a good job of delivering babies."
Now is Zhizhi's most vulnerable moment, he must stay by Zhizhi's side!
The midwife frowned, her face full of disapproval.
She has delivered at least a thousand babies, if not eight hundred. No one dares to disobey what she says during delivery. After all, the lives of the mother and the child are in her hands.
