Chapter 50 How the Child Came
"I think so." Su Ying had already smeared a layer of oil on the woman's belly while she spoke. "Mother Zhao, please keep an eye on her condition at all times."
Mother Zhao looked at Su Ying's calmness and slowly calmed down, "Okay, okay."
Su Ying's hands were quick but steady as she massaged the woman's belly, gently pushing the fetus' position. She frowned throughout the whole process, and finally, the fetus' position was corrected.
She put on her gloves and reached down, spreading all her fingers.
At this time, the woman's husband also came back with branches and blocked the woman in front of him.
"Husband, ma'am, how is my wife?"
"The fetus is in the correct position, and the baby can be born."
"ah!"
As the contractions became more intense, the woman cried out in pain.
"Don't scream, conserve your energy." Su Ying said without raising her head.
Perhaps due to malnutrition and the fetus being too small, the woman gave birth to the child not long after giving birth.
Su Ying wrapped the child with a piece of quick cloth and treated the woman's wound. After everything was done, she stood up.
Mother Zhao helped to carry the child to clean it and handed it to the man, "It's a boy, congratulations."
The man carefully took the child and started crying while laughing. He was happy that both mother and child were safe at this moment, but he also felt that the child should not have come into this world at this time.
"Thank you, ma'am, for saving my wife and child. Our family will always remember your kindness." The man knelt in front of Su Ying, holding the child and kowtowed to her.
Su Ying glanced at the woman who had fainted from weakness, and then at the man who was carefully holding the child, "Why were you exiled?"
Hearing this, the man's eyes showed hatred. "I am a carpenter, but I was framed. The other party said that there was something wrong with the house I built. The house collapsed and people died. I was arrested and convicted, and my pregnant wife was exiled with me."
"Ziren" is a general term for craftsmen, mostly referring to craftsmen or carpenters who build houses.
Su Ying nodded calmly, "Your wife is still very weak and can't walk normally. Follow me and you may have a chance to survive."
The man didn't expect Su Ying to take the initiative to accept them.
"But let me be frank. The most important thing for those who follow me is loyalty. If you dare to have any bad intentions towards my people." She picked up the stone on the ground and tightened her palm. The stone turned into ashes in an instant. "This is the end. Do you understand?"
The man nodded with his whole body tense with fear, "Understood, understood, Madam, don't worry, we will never do anything to hurt you."
"Remember what you said today and come with me." Su Ying stepped forward, picked up the woman on the ground, and brought her to where they were staying.
Mother Zhao glanced at the man and said, "Madam is truly kindhearted. As long as you have no ill intentions, Madam will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
The man nodded hurriedly, "We will swear allegiance to you, Madam, until death."
Su Ying returned with the man and his family of three, and everyone looked over curiously.
"Our new member from now on." She turned to look at the man, "What's your name?"
The man said, "My name is Tianmu."
"Well, Tian Mu, Uncle He, please cook more food."
He Shouyi smiled and nodded, "No problem."
After Su Ying put the woman down, she sat under a tree and waited for dinner.
When Dabao and Erbao saw her come back, they ran to her and leaned on her.
Erbao looked at the child in the man's arms with his big eyes and said, "Mother, is the baby in that uncle's arms from that aunt's belly?"
Su Ying pinched Erbao's little face and smiled, "Yes, just like Ling'er and Ji'er, they were also born from A'niang's belly."
Erbao hummed in surprise, and curiously stretched out his little hand to touch Su Ying's belly, which had already become flat. "My brother and I also came out of our mother's belly."
"kindness."
It was an accident that "she" got pregnant with two children. At that time, "she" had already married Xiao Jin, but she was still devoted to Xiao Jue. Once, Xiao Jue came to the palace, "she" wanted to drug Xiao Jue, but who knew that the drug accidentally got into Xiao Jin's body, and she got pregnant after that time.
Whenever Su Ying thought of the original owner's past, she wanted to find her spirit and give her a good beating. She had never seen such a stupid thing.
The woman who had just given birth was still unconscious and the newborn baby had no milk to drink. Mother Zhao felt pity for the child, so she asked He Shouyi to make the porridge thicker and feed it to the child in small sips. After the baby was full, he stopped crying.
After a day's journey, everyone was exhausted. After eating, everyone lay down to sleep.
As the night deepened, Jiang Yang, who was on guard, quietly walked to Xiao Jin's side.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Jin opened his eyes upon hearing the voice, and there was no trace of confusion in his eyes due to being awakened.
Xiao Jin sat up and lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just received the message from Lin Jin and the others."
Xiao Jin's dark eyes darkened, "Speak."
"They went to Jincheng after receiving the prince's letter, and just rushed here. They said that the emperor did not confiscate the 200,000 soldiers and horses in Jincheng, but continued to let them guard the border. A few days ago, someone proposed that General Sima and the military generals should submit a memorial to the emperor to overturn the prince's case. Now the memorial has been submitted."
Xiao Jin's eyes changed drastically, "Has the memorial been submitted?"
Jiang Yang nodded, thinking this was a good thing. "Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry. The Emperor knows that you are loyal to the State of Chu and will definitely clear your name."
Xiao Jin's face was extremely ugly, "They have fallen into someone else's trap." He knew the emperor's temper too well. He was extremely suspicious. The most taboo thing he feared was the princes colluding with court officials. Their memorial had touched the emperor's reverse scale. The people behind the scenes must have known the emperor's temper very well, which is why they set such a trap for them.
After he was captured, the troops guarding Jincheng were led by General Sima and others. If anything happened to General Sima and his men, those troops would eventually fall into the hands of others.
Jiang Yang was puzzled. Xiao Jin didn't have time to explain too much. "You should ask Lin Kun to find a way to see me immediately."
"Yes, he should be nearby."
Jiang Yang didn't leave for too long and came back with someone, who was Lin Jin.
"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me."
"Send a message to Jincheng right now and have General Sima and his men apologize to the emperor and put all the blame on the person who gave the idea."
Lin Jin was also puzzled, "Doesn't the prince want to overturn the verdict?"
Xiao Jin's dark eyes were gloomy. "The emperor is extremely suspicious. If he agrees to change his confession for me, it would be telling the world that he was wrong. Which emperor would be willing to bear the infamy of wrongly accusing a loyal and honest person?"
The two suddenly realized.
"Even if I want to overturn the verdict, I will not rely on them. Do as I say. If your plea fails, you can find a crime and send yourself to jail. The worst step is to create a war on the border. No matter what means, we must protect them."
"Yes, I will send a message back immediately."
Xiao Jin raised his eyes, looked at the increasingly dark night, and his heart sank.
Zenzi shook the broken bowl in his hand and shouted, "My dears, hand over your recommendation votes and monthly tickets!"
