From then on, Hongli never went to Changchun Immortal Pavilion again. Even when he met Mingyu, he would have someone call her out instead of going to Changchun Immortal Pavilion to look for her. During this time, Hongzhou sent Xueying ointment several times, which Xueying accepted. Her foot gradually recovered.
However, Xueying did not see Hongli again until the end of the year.
Lanqin sent people to pick them up and take them back to the mansion for the New Year. The Fucha family also took Fucha Mingyu back. Ulanara Xueying still wanted to go to the Fujin's place, so she went back to the Yongwang Mansion with Wuxiha and the others.
Hongli and Hongzhou rode ahead on horseback. Xueying wanted to take the opportunity to see Hongli when she got into the carriage, but she didn't see him at all.
Leaving aside the fact that the group returned to the Yong Prince's Mansion, Lady Nian was finally about to give birth, and in addition, Lady Irgen was also diagnosed with pregnancy.
On this day, Ms. Nian went into labor. This was the first pregnancy she had successfully carried to term after three miscarriages; besides Hongsheng, she was finally able to give birth to her second child.
The Fourth Prince was busy in the palace every day, so he entrusted all matters concerning Lady Nian's childbirth to Lanqin, asking her to help arrange the midwife and oversee Lady Nian's delivery. Lanqin and Lady Nian had not spoken for many years and considered each other like fire and water, but at this moment, they had no choice but to work together. They both knew that the Fourth Prince was at a crucial moment, and the inner court could not cause him any more trouble.
“Isn’t this Nian’s second pregnancy? Why has she been in labor for so long and still can’t give birth?” Baoqin asked Yuxiao.
Lanqin sat in a side room next to the delivery room in the East Courtyard, waiting. It had been more than half a day since Nian Shi went into labor that morning, but her pelvis was still not dilated to the size of half a hand. Lanqin was so anxious that she could only sit there and worry helplessly.
"Who knows? Judging from the sound it's making, it seems to be struggling a lot," Yu Xiao said, glancing at Lan Qin's face.
“She was harmed by someone's scheme before, and her health was ruined. It's already a miracle that this pregnancy is safe. But unexpectedly, this delivery is still very difficult,” Lanqin said. In her heart, she thought that since Nian Shi's health was ruined, it would be best not to have any more children to avoid endangering her life. However, if she said that, even the Fourth Master would probably think that she was deliberately saying that to prevent Nian Shi from having any more children, so Lanqin would not be a good person.
“It sounds so tragic!” Baoqin said.
In the side room, the sounds of Nian Shi giving birth grew louder and louder, terrifying everyone who heard them. Even though Lan Qin and the others were sitting in the adjacent room, they could still smell the stench of blood, indicating that she had lost a lot of blood.
"Secondary Consort, Secondary Consort!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a woman who looked like a midwife rushed in, shouting.
"Midwife, how is Consort Nian? What are you doing running out here?" Lanqin shouted sternly when she saw her in a panic.
"Consort Nian, you can't give birth! I've never seen a second child so difficult to deliver. You've used up all your strength and lost a lot of blood, but the baby just won't come out," the midwife said with a bitter face.
"Are you sure you can't give birth?" Lanqin asked.
“The midwife’s dilation is only about two fingers’ width. How can the baby come out? I can barely even put my hand in,” the midwife said.
Upon hearing this, Baoqin and Yuxiao both turned pale. As girls, they were terrified by what they heard.
