Jiang Ying's face was solemn and he nodded. He really couldn't care less.
The air pressure in the entire Yuntai Palace was terribly low. The palace maids and eunuchs who used to walk around were nowhere to be seen today.
They must have known that if the imperial concubine's pregnancy was not successful, their lives would be in danger.
Some of the golden midwives who had been invited from outside the palace earlier were in the delivery room, and some were outside. They all looked nervous and trembling slightly.
The emperor's carriage was in the corridor not far away, staring at the door of the delivery room, as if if he missed a glance, bad news would immediately come from inside.
"Ah..." The woman's scream added a sense of panic to the tense atmosphere.
Jiang Ying stepped forward to salute, but before she even knelt, the emperor stood up and said, "No need for that. Hurry to the delivery room, Princess Mo. The child of the concubine and I is in your care!"
It was no longer an order, but a plea.
Jiang Ying turned around and glanced at Yan Zhuo, and with their tacit understanding, they conveyed the message that "the emperor is not normal."
Yan Zhuo was more familiar with the emperor, so he naturally noticed it. He calmly patted the back of Jiang Ying's head and said, "Go ahead. I'm here. Everything will be fine."
Jiang Ying no longer hesitated and lifted the curtain with quick steps.
Her figure quickly disappeared behind the thick door curtain.
Yan Zhuo reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
In the delivery room, Concubine Chen's stomach hurt so much that her facial features were distorted, as if something was tearing at her belly, but she was still in good spirits. After all, there was no shortage of century-old ginseng in the palace to refresh her.
Moreover, because Jiang Ying entered the palace in time, there was no delay, and Concubine Chen's labor process was still short, and the total time did not exceed one hour.
Many people were born two or three days later, so it wasn't really dangerous yet.
It was just because she was a royal concubine and the one about to be born was an extremely noble prince or princess, the midwives were nervous and couldn't remain calm as usual.
"You...are here! I..."
When Concubine Chen saw Jiang Ying, she felt relieved and raised her upper body to get up.
Jiang Ying hurried forward and held her down, "Your Majesty, please don't move. I'm late."
She noticed with her sharp eyes that there were some small scratches on Concubine Chen's exposed arms and cheeks, and there was visible dust on her outer garment that was taken off to the side.
I guess this must be the culprit that caused her to give birth early?
"No, you've arrived just in time." Concubine Chen was very polite, but she was obviously a little weak, and her expression showed the sequelae of being frightened. "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here. Now that you're here, I believe that Haozi will be safe and sound."
As he said this, he grabbed Jiang Ying's hand tightly, as if it were a life-saving straw.
Jiang Ying ignored the pain and bent down to soothe her gently, "Alright. Since Your Majesty trusts me so much, then from now on, just do as I say, okay?"
Everyone is curious, and Jiang Ying also wanted to ask Concubine Chen what happened, but in the end he held back.
Let’s talk about it after giving birth!
The latter did not hesitate and nodded firmly, "Alright! I will try my best, even if not for the emperor, then for the two babies I carried for ten months with great difficulty."
In the past, she used to care about who the emperor favored more or less. But after she had children and almost lost them several times, Concubine Chen became more concerned about her children!
As long as the two children are safe, it doesn't matter if she is not allowed to be a concubine.
Thinking of this, Concubine Chen suddenly relaxed, gave Jiang Ying a grateful smile, and looked more like a loving mother.
But how can childbirth not be tense and bloody?
Especially when the labor process is extended little by little...
Concubine Chen's voice was hoarse, and ginseng honey water was hurriedly brought to her.
Jiang Ying could sense that several midwives were trembling with fear because the situation was really bad. The birth of this first child took too long, almost reaching the standard of a difficult labor!
Jiang Ying is not a professional obstetrician. To be exact, she is not as knowledgeable as some midwives. But since she has taken this job, she has to do it even if she can't!
Clearing his throat, Jiang Ying spoke, "Everyone, I know you are all very experienced midwives. You have delivered countless babies both in and outside the city, and you have also gone through a rigorous assessment before it is your turn to deliver the Imperial Concubine."
"Yes, it wasn't easy for the Imperial Concubine to deliver twins, but everyone should think positively. As long as mother and child are safe, there will be no shortage of benefits for everyone who returns!"
Hearing this, several midwives were obviously excited.
But after a brief moment of excitement, he became worried again.
One of them walked up to Jiang Ying and lowered his voice, "Madam Jiang, what should we do? This is taking too long. If the first child can't get out any longer, the next ones will be in even greater danger!"
Royal work is tempting but also risky.
In short, if the imperial concubine has a bad baby, they will lose their lives, so what's the point of talking about wealth and glory!
Some people even knelt down and kowtowed to the gods in the sky, "Please ask the Buddha Guanyin to bless the imperial concubine. Please, bless the imperial concubine and the child to be safe and sound."
At this time, at least five hours had passed since Jiang Ying first entered the palace.
A group of people accompanied the woman in labor without having time to eat or drink. When the midwives were tired, they could take turns to rest, but Jiang Ying was held by Concubine Chen's hand all the time and could not go anywhere.
Later, the emperor gave her a bed and let her sleep next to Concubine Chen.
Perhaps, this is what it means to accompany your child during childbirth in a proper way?
The midwives were in disarray, and Jiang Ying had to pinch herself to wake herself up from her daze. At this moment, Concubine Chen suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and woke up.
I wanted to scream, but I was like a fish out of water, with my mouth open and eyes rolled back.
