"You can't sleep, Xia Wan Ning. You are the heroine, not an ordinary person. I don't believe anything will happen to you. Get up and open your eyes."
In the original novel, Xia Wanning's delivery was very smooth because Helian Jing was by her side.
In this life, many things have changed and are no longer proceeding according to the original trajectory, so Xia Wanning's fate has also changed and has reached the point where life and death are at stake.
Xia Wanning had closed her eyes and started talking nonsense, muttering Helian Jing's name.
The midwives were very anxious and kept urging Jiang Sui:
"Madam, please wake up the Crown Princess quickly. This is not a good thing. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid everyone in this room will be in danger of their lives."
They are just ordinary midwives, and the baby they are delivering is the prince's bloodline. If something unexpected happens and they are blamed by the higher-ups, won't they be buried with the baby?
Jiang Sui was also anxious, but could her anxiety solve the problem?
She certainly didn't want anything to happen to her good sister.
Outside, a bowl of refreshing hot medicine was brought in, and she was asked to feed it to Xia Wanning.
However, most of the medicine that was fed into her eventually flowed out, and Xia Wanning had already started to have a high fever.
Jiang Sui thought that this was not a solution, so she ordered the palace maid:
"Go cut some ginseng slices and bring them here, right now."
Since she couldn't swallow the medicine, I would just stuff some ginseng slices into her mouth to stimulate her taste buds.
The people below hurriedly did as they were told, and soon the ginseng slices were delivered.
Jiang Sui put the ginseng slices into Xia Wanning's mouth and asked her to hold it.
This is the only way to try it, I hope it works. This is also what she saw in the book.
On the other hand, she asked Doctor Lou to try and see if she could use some manipulation to straighten the fetus' position so that Xia Wanning would wake up and the delivery would be smoother.
The problem now is that the baby stuck in the cervix is not in the right position, so the baby at the back is also blocked. If the first one can't be born, how can the second one come out?
Doctor Lou nodded, indicating that she would try her best.
Soon, Jiang Sui's method worked and Xia Wanning woke up again.
Jiang Sui had just been pinching her palm.
"Wan Ning, it's okay. Let's try harder and the baby will be born soon. Think about Helian Jing. He must be looking forward to your letter of safe delivery to the border!"
"You've already named the kids, haven't you? Don't you want to meet them? So, cheer up."
Xia Wan Ning woke up under the stimulation of ginseng. She frowned and mumbled:
"What is this? It tastes terrible."
Jiang Sui was so angry that he laughed. At this time, he was still worrying about these things?
Is this the point?
"This is ginseng slices, for you to refresh yourself. You need to give yourself confidence and believe in yourself. Let's do it in one go, okay?"
Xia Wanning nodded, and she started to push again, trying to find the rhythm under the guidance of the midwife.
Doctor Lou tried to use her technique to correct the fetus' position. The baby in her belly was very cooperative and had a strong desire to survive.
"It seems to be straightened. I can see the baby's hair. Princess, please push harder. The baby is about to come out."
As the midwife's surprised voice rang out, everyone saw hope.
Now that the baby was in the right position, it would be easy to give birth. Xia Wanning pushed hard and her cries of pain were heard from the room.
"It's out, it's out, the first baby is out!"
“Wow…”
As the umbilical cord was cut, the faint cries of babies were heard, and the older sister came out first.
Because the baby was in the womb for too long, the amniotic fluid dried up and there was some lack of oxygen. The baby's face turned purple and his crying was very soft.
But as long as you can be born safely, it is a blessing.
Once the first child is born, the second one will be here soon. The birth of a new life is always exciting.
“Wan Ning, it was my sister who came out first, let’s keep pushing harder, okay?”
When Xia Wanning heard the baby crying, tears of joy couldn't stop flowing out.
She really suffered a lot, but fortunately, her brother came out smoothly.
He was a boy and cried louder than his sister, but because the amniotic fluid had dried up, he was a little suffocated, and both the siblings' faces turned purple.
"The one coming out from behind is my younger brother, Wan Ning. They are twins, a boy and a girl. You are awesome!"
Jiang Sui also started crying with excitement, and she held her hands tightly.
Holding the child in her arms, Xia Wanning looked at the two little guys and blurted out:
“How ugly!”
Having said that, the kindness on her face was not deceptive.
"All newborn babies are like this. They will become beautiful after some nurturing. These two little guys are very strong."
Xia Wanning nodded:
"Sui Sui, I'm lucky you're here, otherwise I really don't know if I can wake up. Meeting you is the best decision I've ever made in my life."
"Me too, Wan Ning. You are my best friend. You are the only one who will protect me unconditionally. We will be good sisters for life and support each other."
Xia Wan Ning was really good to her. Whenever she was bullied or wronged, she would stand in front of her, stand up for her, and seek benefits for her. She would always think of her when something good happened.
Having such a good sister in life is enough!
"Okay~ But I really can't help it. Let me sleep for a while. I'll leave the two little ones to you."
She no longer had any strength and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Concubine Xian, who was sitting outside, heard the baby crying and then heard the midwife coming to announce the good news that mother and child were safe. Only then did she finally feel relieved.
"My queen, they are twins, a boy and a girl. The first one to be born is the little princess, and the second one is the little prince!"
When Concubine Xian heard this, she was overjoyed. If the emperor knew about this, he would be so happy.
Her daughter-in-law is different. She was born with twins, a boy and a girl. They can't compare with her daughters-in-law.
Concubine Xian first looked after the child and then came to see Xia Wanning, but she was still in a coma.
After she rewarded everyone in the Eastern Palace, she returned to the palace to announce the good news, but only asked Jiang Sui to take good care of the Crown Princess for her.
Jiang Sui felt a little sympathy for Xia Wan Ning, because her mother-in-law didn't seem to care much about her.
It is true in the original novel. Concubine Xian was not very good to Xia Wanning, but just quite decent. She treated him because of her good family background. Later, when she became the empress dowager, she was always thinking about inserting women into Helian Jing's life.
After Helian Jing ascended the throne, there were two empresses dowager, one was the current queen and the other was his biological mother.
Concubine Xian had always been at odds with the Queen. Finally, the Queen moved to the temporary palace, where she ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day to stay away from the disputes with her.
Perhaps it was because the harem was too boring, so she devoted herself to making trouble for Queen Xia Wanning in her later years.
But Xia Wanning didn't care. All she wanted was Helian Jing's love for her. It didn't matter whether others treated her well or not.
