Hearing this, An Qingran nodded, pulled out the silver needle from her hair, and asked Rendong to disinfect it. After she was done, she took a deep breath and said, "Listen, Rendong, if the baby's feet come out, your silver needles will be inserted into the baby's soles and my Sanyinjiao and Zusanli points..."
Then she explained all the possibilities again. She was afraid that she would faint. Although Ren Dong had a bad memory, at this moment, she miraculously remembered everything and nodded to An Qingran: "Master, don't worry, I will do it well..."
Unexpectedly, the worst happened. The child really gave birth to a foot, and An Qingran began to bleed heavily. When she was conscious, she tightly grasped Rendong's hand, and then fainted...
After an unknown amount of time, An Qingran woke up. She saw Rendong's face and looked around. Rendong immediately turned around and held the child in front of her: "The child is safe... It's a boy, and your bleeding has stopped. Madam went out to buy medicine for you. She said she was going to another farm to avoid suspicion from the people here, so she will be back later. Master, you can't go anywhere now. Madam promised to let us live here. I will find a way to send the news..."
Honeysuckle told him all her plans.
An Qingran nodded. She was too weak now. She barely stood up and held the baby in the cradle. It was a wrinkled little baby with a layer of long hair on his face, like a hairy child. She frowned, feeling heartbroken. She immediately held his little hand. His wrist was very thin, so thin and soft, but fortunately his pulse was very strong. She felt relieved. Suddenly, his little mouth moved, as if looking to the side. An Qingran sighed. There was no milk to feed him yet.
At this time, the old lady came in. She was afraid that the cold air on her body would rush to the mother and son, so she stood at the door and said, "Madam, I bought you medicine and a dairy goat, so you don't have to hire a wet nurse, and no one else will know. I will heat up the milk for the young master in a while... Madam, if you need anything else, tell me."
"Auntie, we are so lucky to have met you... We cannot thank you enough for your kindness. When my son and I escape this disaster, you will be our reborn parents." An Qingran had just walked through the gates of hell and felt like she was reborn again. Mainly, it was her contribution that saved her child's life.
The lady was polite.
Although An Qingran had a difficult delivery, she recovered quickly because of her good physical condition. In addition, her aunt had a secret remedy, and her milk came in five days later. She could finally breastfeed the child herself, and the guilt in her heart was slightly relieved. The child was very obedient. She did not expect that an eight and a half month old baby could be so healthy. She did not know how to thank God. Of course, she also thanked Rendong. It was also thanks to her calmness. She told Rendong this, and Rendong just wiped her tears and said that if they were in danger, she would not live alone.
The days were very peaceful.
An Qingran did not let Rendong take the risk of delivering a letter to Dongfang Jin because the capital city was under siege and the information might be stolen by others, which would put them in danger.
She just wanted to wait for the full moon.
Then find a solution.
Let the child grow up well.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.
The hair on the child's body faded, and he became white. He had beautiful features and looked 70% like Dongfang Jin. An Qingran put all her heart on the child. Rendong also inquired about the situation and learned that Dongfang Jin was fine, and he had fought off the siege of Prince Shou and was ready to counterattack. It was unknown what the situation was with the people in the court.
Rendong loved the child very much. Apart from working, she spent most of her time sitting at the head of the bed, staring at the baby intently. An Qingran had already forgiven her, knowing that she was just confused and deceived.
"Princess, what should we name the baby?" Honeysuckle frowned seriously. She was very curious.
An Qingran looked at the sleeping child with a loving smile on her face. She really hadn't thought that they were safe. This was a child given to her by God, making up for her regrets. Until this moment, she felt that the child who left her had returned. They were united as one, both of them her own child: "Let his father name him."
She imagined the moment when they met as father and son, and she couldn't help feeling anxious.
More than twenty days have passed, and the baby has grown a lot taller than when he was first born. The eight-month-old baby has no problems at all. An Qingran felt that she didn't know what to say except to thank God.
"Yes, the prince is the most talented in writing and naming." Honeysuckle said with a smile, and then gently touched the baby's face with her fingers, "Baby, I'm here, you are so strong and strong."
The baby babbled in his sleep. Ren Dong looked at An Qingran in surprise and lowered her voice, "He understands what I say. He is answering me."
An Qingran was also amused by her silly look and couldn't help but stretch her waist. Rendong immediately straightened up and came forward: "Crown Princess, do you want to drink bird's nest now?"
"Where did you get the bird's nest?" An Qingran asked in surprise.
Honeysuckle didn't answer, but said vaguely: "Although this village is remote, it still has some good things."
An Qingran suddenly asked, "Ren Dong, where is the gold hairpin you gave me?"
Honeysuckle stroked her hair and smiled, "Oh, it's okay, I think I lost it."
"Did you exchange it for bird's nest?" An Qingran asked again.
"That's nothing. When we return to the palace, the Crown Princess can reward me as much as she wants. In the current situation, money is just external things. As long as you and the child are safe and healthy, that is more important than anything else." Honeysuckle admitted it.
An Qingran sighed: "But the gold hairpin cannot be replaced no matter how much I reward you. It is the only thought your mother left for you, right?"
"It's not worth anything, as long as I have it in my heart." Honeysuckle said as if she didn't care, turned around and went out, and quickly brought in a small bowl, "Hurry, drink it while it's hot, it's very soft."
It would be impossible for An Qingran not to be moved. She held Rendong's hand and said, "You have suffered a lot following me..."
"It is my honor to follow the Crown Princess." Honeysuckle smiled sincerely, "Crown Princess, have you forgiven me a little?"
"I've forgiven you a long time ago, you silly girl. Let me ask you something. Do you like Dongfang Run..." An Qingran asked, staring into her eyes.
Ren Dong didn't expect her to ask this question. Her face suddenly turned red. She felt a little helpless. She tugged at her clothes with her hands, lowered her head, and murmured, "Crown Princess, it was my fault that I was confused..."
"Silly girl, I'm asking you a question..." An Qingran picked up the bird's nest and took a sip. The craftsmanship of Rendong had not changed, and it was still sweet, sticky and smooth. In fact, she didn't need Rendong to answer her, she could tell from her expression.
Honeysuckle nodded with an invisible amplitude, and then said quickly: "Crown Princess, I know that I am wishful thinking, but I really just thought about it and did not have any private dealings. When I was in the palace before, I absolutely did not cross any line, and I did not turn my elbow outward. At that time, I just thought that Prince Dongfang was humble and kind, and he also saved the life of the Crown Princess. Compared with King Kang, he was definitely a gentleman, so I paid more attention to him... But this time, I made such a big mistake, and I cannot escape the blame!"
"Okay, let's just let it go. Don't talk about it anymore..." An Qingran smiled. "I know you didn't mean to do it. Even if you did it on purpose, you risked your life for me along the way, and you saved my son and me. We don't know how to thank you."
After hearing her say this, Ren Dong's expression improved a little, and she smiled happily: "After staying with the Crown Princess for so long, I have learned a thing or two. Speaking of which, this is also the reason why the Crown Princess usually does not hide her private teachings from me."
"Why would I hide anything? I wish you could learn everything."
"Well, I will study medicine with the Crown Princess wholeheartedly in the future."
Because she successfully rescued the mother and child, Rendong's confidence increased greatly, and she was able to speak with confidence.
While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, someone knocked on the door.
Aunt Qiu pushed the door open and walked in: "Look, what good stuff I got for you..."
She held a clay pot in her hand, and she approached An Qingran and Rendong and opened the pot. A scent of milk wafted in, and Aunt Qiu smiled with pride, "The daughter-in-law of Aunt Xiang's family in the village just gave birth to a big fat boy. I want some milk for the baby. It's been so long, and it's not enough to just drink goat milk to supplement it."
Yes, An Qingran felt a pang of sadness in her heart. Because of premature birth and nutritional problems, she had never had enough to eat. Aunt Qiu got a dairy sheep, but the baby didn't like to drink goat's milk.
An Qingran was so grateful that she couldn't express it in words.
I don’t know what to say.
Aunt Qiu waved her hand and said, "I know you are not from an ordinary family. If you hadn't encountered such a disaster, you wouldn't have ended up here. We are destined to be together. Auntie, I am really happy that I can get along with you. You have added vitality to my small courtyard. Otherwise, I would be an old lonely woman with no hope for the whole day..."
"Auntie, when we get out, we'll find your relatives and take you over to enjoy a good life. What do you think?" An Qingran said with a smile.
"Well, I'm content that you have this intention, but it's hard to leave my hometown. I've lived here for decades. Look everywhere, you can see the old man's shadow. So, I appreciate it, but I'm not going anywhere..." Aunt Qiu sighed.
An Qingran was touched.
I was wondering whether Dongfang Jin and I could meet again, and whether we could stay together until we grow old.
I couldn't help but be stunned and just stared at Rendong and Aunt Qiu feeding the baby together.
"Auntie, what's the situation outside?" An Qingran asked, "Are the people on the prince's side in the upper hand?"
