Chapter 820 Inducing Labor
Nan Yan smiled sadly: "If I hadn't heard it, how long would the emperor keep it secret from me?"
A trace of sadness appeared on Zhu Feng's face.
He rarely has this expression. Even when he is sad, there will be no sad expression on his face.
But now, you can see that he is really tormented.
Nan Yan also realized that these days, every time he looked at her, he was suffering.
It turned out that she had suffered severe trauma on the way when Ashiger kidnapped her. Although the injury was not superficial, the fetus in her belly had suffered great harm.
No wonder I can’t feel the fetal movement these days.
The imperial physician said that the pregnancy is about to end.
If she had induced labor as soon as she came back, the baby might have been born smoothly, but her body was very weak at that time and she was afraid she wouldn't be able to survive. Zhu Feng was worried about his health, so he didn't allow himself to move around these days.
But in this way, for the child——
He longed for this child so much!
Nan Yan's eyes were red, but she smiled at him and said softly, "Your Majesty, I want to give birth to this child."
“…”
"I've already lost one family member, I can't lose this one."
Zhu Feng held her hand tightly and said solemnly, "But I can't lose you!"
“…”
Nan Yan's tears had hardly stopped, but when she heard these words, she laughed.
With just this one sentence, she felt that it wouldn't matter even if she really died.
So she also held his hand tightly and said, "Let me be willful for once."
“…”
"Your Majesty, I am looking forward to the arrival of this child just like you."
“…”
"I can hold on!"
Zhu Feng looked at her, and at this moment his heart seemed to be torn apart by something. After Nan Yan finished speaking, her brows suddenly frowned and she groaned in pain.
Zhu Feng hurriedly asked, "Nan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan was speechless.
Sweating like rain.
The imperial physician behind him did not dare to neglect it any longer and hurried forward to say: "Your Majesty, we really can't delay any longer. If we don't help the Imperial Concubine to have labor, I'm afraid the fetus will really be in danger, and the Imperial Concubine will also--"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng's face turned pale.
After looking at Nan Yan's painful expression, he finally said, "Okay, induce labor!"
As soon as they got his permission, the two imperial doctors immediately shouted to the people outside, asking them to prepare medicine, silver needles, and plenty of hot water.
Zhu Feng half-knelt beside the bed and held Nan Yan's hand tightly: "You will be fine!"
Nan Yan was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe, but she still said to him, "The child and I will be fine."
When everything was ready, the imperial physician and others asked Zhu Feng to leave first.
Zhu Feng said with a sullen face, "I want to stay here with her."
"But--"
The two imperial doctors were a little hesitant.
Nan Yan raised her head, sweating profusely, and said to Zhu Feng with a forced smile, "The emperor is too fierce. The imperial physician will be afraid of you."
“…”
It was the first time that Zhu Feng heard someone say that he was fierce to his face.
They were all stunned for a moment.
Nan Yan said, "Your Majesty, please go out and let them do what they want. I'm fine."
Zhu Feng looked at her, then at the two imperial doctors, and finally let out a deep breath. Then he said, "Okay, I'll leave."
He retreated to the door, and just as the imperial physician was about to close it, he suddenly said, "Remember, no matter what happens, I want the imperial concubine to be safe and sound!"
The imperial physician nodded repeatedly in agreement.
The door finally closed.
The pharmacy had already prepared some medicine and sent it over. It was a medicine to induce labor. Ran Xiaoyu brought it to Nan Yan's mouth. Although she was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe at this time, Nan Yan still gritted her teeth and drank the bowl of fishy and bitter medicine.
After drinking it, she said to the imperial physician, "Listen, no matter what happens, make sure this child is safe and sound!"
When the imperial physician heard this, his heart trembled.
Isn't this exactly the opposite of what the emperor instructed?
Nan Yan said sternly: "Did you hear that?!"
The imperial physician could only nod and say, "Yes."
Nan Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly fell back onto the pillow.
After drinking the hot medicine, she broke out in sweat in a short while. Gradually, she felt a movement in her stomach, as if something was slowly pressing down.
Nan Yan immediately frowned: "Ah——!"
An imperial physician hurriedly said, "The medicine is working."
The other one hurriedly took out the silver needle and said to Nan Yan cautiously, "My Lady, please bear with it."
After saying that, he inserted the silver needle into the top of her head.
Although her body was already very uncomfortable, at this moment, her whole body seemed to be more sensitive than usual. When the silver needle pierced her skin, Nan Yan clearly felt the coldness and the subsequent tingling sensation.
She couldn't help but let out a low moan.
At this time, Zhu Feng outside the door was also sweating profusely.
Ye Zheng stood aside, his face also looking very nervous, but he still tried his best to comfort him: "Your Majesty, it will be fine. Your Majesty, please go sit over there first."
"I won't sit! I want to stay here with her!"
"emperor……"
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Although Ye Zheng usually dared to talk nonsense in front of Zhu Feng, but at this time, since the matter involved the imperial concubine, he also knew that Zhu Feng was different from usual, so he stopped talking.
Just listening to the noise in the room.
Just as he turned around unconsciously, he saw a slender figure standing outside the gate of Yishou Hall.
I could tell at a glance that it was Concubine Ning.
Ye Zheng said "hmm" softly.
Zhu Feng asked, "What?"
He followed Ye Zheng's gaze and looked forward, and suddenly, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Qin Ruolan watched this scene from afar, and listened to the low voices coming from Yishou Hall, and her brows furrowed slightly.
In the room, Nan Yan gritted her teeth.
There were already several needles stuck in the top of her head, but that was nothing, because the feeling of falling in her stomach was getting heavier and heavier, as if something was pulling her internal organs out.
His internal organs were about to be torn apart.
It hurts! It really hurts!
Is giving birth really that painful?
She waved her hands wildly, trying to grab something, but couldn't grab anything, so she grabbed the bed sheet under her and twisted it hard.
Beside my ears, the voice of the imperial physician rang out——
"My lady, you have to use the force on your body, not your hands."
“…”
She was confused for a while, then began to understand.
So, he followed the imperial physician's instructions and slowly exerted force on his body, in time with his breathing, again and again. The severe pain seemed to be drilling out of his body.
"ah--!"
She let out a scream.
At this moment, the imperial physician shouted loudly: "It's out, it's out!"
Hearing these words, it was like a ray of light lit up her dark eyes. Nan Yan clenched her teeth, struggled with her whole body, and felt her lower body suddenly loosen up.
At that moment, she was completely blank.
After a long while, I heard Ran Xiaoyu say in my ear: "My Lady, are you okay?"
She was confused and slowly opened her eyes.
"Where are my children?"
But the two imperial doctors were holding a wrapped baby in their arms, but the expressions on their faces were complicated, even a little frightened.
One of them tentatively patted the swaddling clothes gently.
No sound.
At this time, Zhu Feng outside finally couldn't hold back any longer and pushed the door open. Just now, he clearly heard the imperial physician say "it's out", but there was no sound of the child crying for a long time, and he was not allowed to come in.
He simply pushed the door open himself.
"What's going on?"
As soon as they saw him come in, the two imperial doctors turned pale with fright and knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, spare my life."
"I ask you, what's going on?"
Zhu Feng looked at the swaddling clothes in their hands and hurriedly reached out to hold the baby, but the imperial physician desperately took a step back and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty cannot hold the baby, this—"
Zhu Feng's expression became even uglier: "What happened?"
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is a dead baby."
“…”
In an instant, the whole room fell silent.
Nan Yan opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe her ears, and murmured, "No, no."
Zhu Feng's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by someone.
He still reached out and snatched the swaddling clothes.
Inside was a baby with a very clear face, and the nose, mouth, and ears were all intact.
But he was quiet, without making any sound.
The two imperial doctors knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, spare our lives."
"This prince, he—he died in the womb a long time ago."
Zhu Feng staggered and took a step back.
Nan Yan let out a mournful moan from her throat, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
"Why?"
“…”
"Why?"
“…”
"Why my child...why...?"
Ran Xiaoyu knelt beside Nan Yan, listening to her mournful cries and desperate words, and at this moment she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ever since she became pregnant, everyone has been looking forward to the birth of this child.
But unexpectedly——
Zhu Feng looked down at the child. He gritted his teeth, endured the burning sensation in his eyes, and slowly raised his head: "Nan Yan."
Nan Yan raised her hands and covered her face.
Tears continued to flow from between her fingers, and soon, they wet the pillow.
Just as she was crying loudly and sorrowfully, suddenly, her crying stopped.
Everyone around was stunned.
But she slowly lowered her hands, a painful expression appeared on her face again, her brows furrowed, and she said, "I—"
Zhu Feng hurried forward: "Nan Yan, what's wrong with you?"
Nan Yan looked at him: "I, it hurts."
"What?!"
Why does it still hurt after the baby is born?
Zhu Feng hurriedly said, "Go show her!"
The two imperial doctors crawled to the bedside and were shocked when they took a look: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is pregnant with twins."
"There's a baby in her belly!"
