Fortunately, the pain didn't last long, and Junhe brought a midwife and a doctor to her home. When the midwife saw her condition, she asked Junhe to boil water and prepare some clothes, and the doctor was also taken to the east room to deal with any emergencies.
Xu Yixing bit the handkerchief to prevent herself from shouting and wasting too much energy, and at the same time, she breathed and exerted strength according to the rhythm instructed by the midwife. She felt that she had used up all her strength, but the midwife kept asking her to push harder, which was really frustrating!
In a trance, she seemed to see her mother, who was also giving birth like herself, but her face looked calm, not at all like the grinning face she was now.
"Mom, please bless me... Bless me to give birth to this baby smoothly! Damn Lu Anyuan... Lu!" She started to curse without restraint because of the pain. She couldn't tell whether it was reality or an illusion. She just felt that after cursing, she felt relaxed physically and mentally, and she could use her strength.
"Ah..." After cursing for the last time, Xu Yixing was really exhausted and fell asleep as her eyelids drooped. She only vaguely heard someone say "child" and "congratulations", but she didn't have the energy to distinguish what was being said.
When I woke up, I felt as if my body was torn apart, with air leaking everywhere and pain everywhere. I looked to the side and found that a small bed that I had bought earlier had appeared next to my kang.
"The wife is awake!"
This was the first time Xu Yixing heard joy in Junhe's tone. He craned his neck to look over and saw that she was looking at him excitedly.
"Madam, look, it's a little boy!" Jun He picked up the child and put him directly in front of Xu Yixing.
When Xu Yixing took a quick look, he thought the little thing was red and furry, just like a big pink mouse. How could it be pretty at all?
"Hold it away..." He said this weakly, making Jun He wonder if he had misheard. But Jun He took a closer look at his wife. Why did he feel that his wife looked different from usual?
Before she could take a closer look, the outer curtain was lifted and two people walked in, both of them looking around the room curiously. They turned out to be Gao Yao and Wu Xueyan.
Gao Yao was not wearing a veil in the room, but was still wearing a veil. She took the child and asked Jun He to leave.
Wu Xueyan was a little excited. She walked over the charcoal basin on the ground to look at the person on the bed. After confirming for a long time, she spoke: "Ms. Xu, it's really you!"
Xu Yixing pulled the quilt higher to cover his face, but it was no use. Gao Yao patted the child gently and smiled sheepishly, "Your young man came to see me today, and was bumped into by Xueyan on his way out. I had no choice but to tell her the truth, so don't blame me. And your disguise has been washed away by sweat, you need to fix it quickly."
"He is not my lover..." If Wu Xueyan heard this, what would she think of herself?
"Eh?" Gao Yao was stunned, but Wu Xueyan reacted quickly and her face turned pale: "This child, could it be... the current..."
"Yes." Xu Yixing nodded as if accepting his fate. Lu Anyuan might have already set off now. If he didn't hide well, he would really be cut into pieces.
"How can you be so bold!" Wu Xueyan anxiously paced around the room several times, and suddenly realized: "The court is wanted for Yi Wen because of you, right?"
Yiwen... Why are you calling me so affectionately... Even if you two really have something going on, I'm still your elder sister-in-law, can you please show some respect to me?
"That should be it."
"He ran to the capital for you. If he knew you were here, he would be so angry that he would laugh!" Wu Xueyan was very angry, but what she said was indeed true.
"What's wrong with you?" Gao Yao was holding the child and didn't understand why the two of them suddenly turned against each other.
"Xiaoyao, she will kill us!" Wu Xueyan grabbed Gao Yao's arm tightly, her face turning pale with anger.
"But...if we don't care about her, I heard that the emperor is going to lead an army in person and will soon come to Miaozhou. Will she be captured?"
"What's the point of arresting her? She shouldn't have come out in the first place! She's implicated so many people!"
"But if she was caught, Master Xu would probably be very worried, right?"
Gao Yao, a smart person, understood everything in just a few words, and her words hit Wu Xueyan the hardest. She could leave Second Miss Xu to her own devices, or she could simply wait for the Emperor to arrive and report her, perhaps even receiving a reward. However, if she did so, Master Xu would likely never pay any attention to her again.
"Hey, hey, well, I'm not planning on asking you to help me." Even a clay man can get angry, let alone someone as stubborn as Xu Yixing. After Wu Xueyan's sarcastic remarks, he was already angry. "I know His Majesty is coming to Miaozhou. I will leave before he comes and won't bring any trouble to you. Please go back."
Wu Xueyan opened her mouth to say something, but Gao Yao stopped her. She simply placed the child gently on the crib and left with Wu Xueyan. "Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Just take care of the child and don't rush to leave."
Xu Yixing closed his eyes and kept feeling someone coming in. Then he opened his eyes again: "How long have I been sleeping?"
"After two hours, the midwife said that the delivery went smoothly and there was no major injury to the body. As long as she takes good care of herself during the confinement period, there will be no problem." Ying Wu's heart is still pounding. How come he went out for a while and came back with a little master?
"No... Lu Anyuan is coming soon. If we don't leave, are we going to be caught in a trap?"
"Actually, we can just stay hidden. The emperor will naturally leave after the war. We should just stock up on things and stay indoors."
"No, look at Wu Xueyan's expression. I'm afraid that once Lu Anyuan arrives, she'll betray me in exchange for Xu Yiwen's life. We should leave as soon as possible."
"What do you mean?"
"I calculated that we have at most ten days left. I'll rest for a few days while you prepare your things for our departure."
"Where are we going this time?" Ying Wu sighed in his heart. He had no peace for a single day.
"Let's go... Jiangnan. I heard the climate there is good and suitable for living."
"Okay, then I'll go prepare new documents. Your disguise is broken, and someone has seen it, so get a new one tomorrow." Look at what has happened. It would have been better if we had just headed south from the start, but now we have to turn back.
"Okay. Take another look at the route and make sure it doesn't collide with Lu Anyuan's route to Miaozhou."
"good."
Fortunately, Xu Yixing can't read minds, otherwise if he knew Ying Wu was thinking this way about him, he would definitely scold him, saying, "Don't try to guess what your master is thinking!"
