Chapter 417 I won’t leave, I’ll always be with you
Fu Yunqing wiped away the tears from her eyes, her voice extremely gentle:
"Yueyue, I want you to be my wife in this life. You are priceless. I just gave you the labor-inducing medicine and the soul-restoring pill. You will be able to see your son soon."
Xuan Yue nodded vigorously, but held his hand tightly:
"Don't leave."
Fu Yunqing held her hand tightly and comforted her softly:
"I won't leave. I'll stay with you forever."
Xuan Yue nodded again with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, the labor-inducing medicine that Fu Yunqing had just given her took effect.
Xuan Yue suddenly arched her body, the severe pain made her tremble all over, and cold sweat soaked her pajamas.
The midwife hurriedly covered the lower half of the bed with a brocade quilt to block Fu Yunqing's sight.
Without looking away, he quickly took out the golden needles and accurately inserted them into several acupuncture points on Xuan Yue's body, using the power of acupuncture to help her induce labor.
The silver needle tip trembled slightly under the candlelight, and a gentle force flowed along her meridians, slightly relieving the pain in her bones.
Xuan Yue gritted her teeth, her nails dug deep into Fu Yunqing's arm, veins bulged on her forehead, and every contraction seemed to tear her body apart.
"Push harder! Princess, try harder!"
The midwife knelt beside the couch, sweat dripping from her forehead, "I saw the baby's head!"
Fu Yunqing held Xuan Yue's waist tightly with his other hand, his voice as steady as a rock:
"Yueyue, look at me, take a deep breath, and follow my strength—inhale, hold your breath, and push!"
Xuan Yue's eyes suddenly widened, a cry of pain came out of his throat, and his muscles tensed like a fully drawn bow.
The acupuncture point where the golden needle pierced sent out a slight numbing warmth, intertwined with the severe pain, which actually gave rise to a sense of resilience.
She stared into Fu Yunqing's eyes, the determination and heartache in them became her only support.
"Come again! Almost there!"
The midwife's voice trembled with urgency.
Xuan Yue gathered up her last bit of strength, her body shaking violently as if she wanted to vomit out her soul.
Fu Yunqing quickly took out a handkerchief from her waist and stuffed it into her mouth: "Bite it, don't hurt yourself."
The handkerchief still had his body temperature, and Xuan Yue bit it tightly, a muffled groan coming out from between her teeth.
Just when she was about to lose consciousness, the midwife suddenly shouted:
“It’s born! It’s born!!”
A faint but clear cry broke through the anxiety in the tent, like a ray of light, splitting the long night.
But the next moment, the midwife screamed "Ah" and took two steps back with a pale face.
Fu Yunqing had anticipated this and gave her a sharp look, signaling her to take the child away immediately. The midwife picked up the child with trembling hands and walked quickly to the outer room.
Fu Yunqing leaned over to comfort Xuan Yue, who was barely breathing. "Our son is very healthy. The midwife is cleaning and swaddling him. She'll bring him to you soon."
Xuan Yue nodded weakly.
At this moment, the effect of the soul-restoring pill gradually wore off, and the poison attacked again. She felt dizzy, and slowly loosened her grip on Fu Yunqing's hand, and fell into a deep sleep.
Fu Yunqing knew that if there was no antidote, this sleep would be a final farewell.
His lips trembled as he kissed her lightly on the lips, covered her with the quilt, and told Biyue and Xiuhua to stay by her side.
Then he picked up the medicine box and walked quickly to the outer room.
I saw the midwife holding the child, trembling all over.
He took the swaddling clothes from her arms and leaned over to examine it carefully:
It was indeed a baby boy. Because he was full-term, the child was chubby, but his skin was bluish-black and his crying was as thin as a thread.
The midwife trembled in surprise and said:
"Sir, this child, could it be that he is a demon?"
Fu Yunqing shouted, "Nonsense, he was poisoned!"
Then, he took out a golden needle from the medicine box, kissed his son's little face, and said in a trembling voice:
"Feng'er, don't be afraid, Daddy will cure the poison for you."
As he spoke, his eyes flashed, and he hardened his heart and inserted the gold needles into the acupuncture points all over his son's body.
As the golden needle tail trembled slightly, the dark blue on the child's body gradually faded, and his crying became louder.
The midwife and the female doctors looked at each other and finally felt relieved.
But Fu Yunqing knew that this was just a temporary measure that could only delay the disease for a few days at most. If there was no antidote, his son would still die.
At this moment, Lin Cang's panicked voice came from outside the door:
"Mr. Fu, please come out for a moment!"
Fu Yunqing's heart tightened, and he hurried out of the house:
"What's wrong?"
"The granaries in the west and south of the city are on fire!"
Lin Cang was sweating profusely from anxiety: "Besides, outside the city gate, Helian Feng is leading a 100,000-strong army to attack the city. He also said..."
"What did you say?" Fu Yunqing raised his eyebrows and asked anxiously.
"Helian Feng also said that His Majesty Helian Ji has abdicated the throne to him, and in his hand, he holds the abdication edict!"
Before he finished speaking, Fu Mingyuan rushed in in a panic, his gray beard trembling:
"Qing'er! The court is in chaos! The former crown prince's cronies and the Su clan are blocking the Golden Palace, clamoring to see Your Majesty. They're also saying, 'I heard Your Majesty abdicated the throne to the crown prince, and I want you to order the city walls to be opened and welcome the new emperor into the court!'"
