Chapter 178: The mother-in-law was bribed

"Your Majesty, please don't give up! Your Majesty..." Nanny

Xiang shouted from inside. Emperor Xuanwu could no longer sit still and stood up to rush in, but was stopped by Empress Zhu.

She shook her head: "No, Your Majesty, women's delivery room is a dirty and bloody place. Men have been forbidden to enter since ancient times. Otherwise, if something bad happens in the Great Yan Dynasty in the future, people will blame today's Concubine Zhen. Your Majesty can't help Concubine Zhen if he goes in, and it will hurt her."

No concubine in the palace had ever been treated like this, and Concubine Zhen was no exception.

"Yuer!"

Unable to go in, Emperor Xuanwu stood at the door and shouted inside: "Yuer, don't be afraid, I'm here with you outside the door, I'm not going anywhere, you will definitely give birth to Tuanzi safely, I believe in you. If it really doesn't work... if it really doesn't work, I will definitely protect her, don't be afraid!"

"Shut up! My Tuanzi, my Tuanzi will definitely... definitely be born!"

She almost shouted and yelled as she said this, and the midwives and Nanny Xiang were delighted by her shout: "Your Majesty, I see the young master's hair, please try harder."

"Impossible!"

Jiang Xinyue shook her head: "You are lying, it must not be born yet! You lied to me, keep pushing."

Nanny Xiang looked at her: "My queen, it's true, if you don't believe me, let Xi Que come over and take a look."

Xi Que wiped her tears and stood over. She was so scared that she didn't dare to look any more after just one look, and nodded randomly: "My queen, the little master's head is already half out, you have to use more strength, otherwise the little master's nose is stuck in there and he can't breathe."

Nanny Xiang lied, the little prince hadn't come out at all, only a piece of black hair was pressing against the queen's birth canal, the narrow opening was stretched very big, and it was also very scary.

Jiang Xinyue believed Xi Que's words and started a new round of pushing.

Emperor Xuanwu paced back and forth anxiously, making Empress Zhu dizzy and turned around: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Giving birth is a long process for women. When Concubine De gave birth to the third prince, didn't she also give birth for a day and a night?"

How can it be the same...

How can it be the same?

The emperor almost spoke out his thoughts.

"I know, let all irrelevant people leave, just me and the empress are here."

Concubine De was already in her twenties when she gave birth to the third prince. She had the experience of giving birth to the second princess, so she was naturally not afraid.

But his Yue'er is not even eighteen years old, she is still a child, and she wants to give birth to a child for him. She is so delicate that she feels uncomfortable if she drinks a sip of soup. How can someone who is in a bad mood and refuses to drink endure the pain of giving birth?

Huh?

It's strange. No matter whether it was the empress, Concubine De, or Concubine Liang, he didn't feel that childbirth would be so painful!

It should be that no matter who among the three of them gave birth, they all took into account the demeanor of a lady from a noble family and refused to scream. The emperor thought that nothing was wrong and the child came out easily.

Jiang Xinyue is different. She is afraid that the emperor will not come, and she is afraid that the emperor does not know the difficulty and pain of her childbirth.

In this way, the emperor will love and pity her.

And pity will make a man disregard everything for that woman and rush into the battle line.

Giving birth is indeed very painful, but it is not painful enough to scream out like this. People who are really sensitive to pain will tremble all over in pain, and will not have any strength at all, and will not be able to scream out in pain. Those

who scream like this know that someone outside cares about them.

Jiang Xinyue was performing hard when she heard Nanny Li yell, "What are you doing?"

"Pah!"

Something fell to the ground, it looked like a pair of scissors.

Then she saw Nanny Li twisting a middle-aged woman, "What do you want to do with the scissors?"

The middle-aged woman yelled, "What do you know? Concubine Zhen can't give birth again, and the child will suffocate to death. I will use scissors to cut open Concubine Zhen's birth canal, and then sew it up with thread, so that both mother and child will be safe."

There is indeed a precedent for delivering babies this way in the folk.

Jiang Xinyue listened, as if in later generations, when giving birth, if the baby can't be born, for fear that the baby will be deprived of oxygen, the doctor will give the mother an episiotomy, take the baby out and then sew it up.

However, in later generations, episiotomy requires anesthesia!

Is this middle-aged woman going to cut and sew without saying a word?

With this ancient technology, there is no cosmetic stitches that do not need to be removed. The body cannot absorb it at all. Will the stitches need to be removed after a month?

That... that... that is too painful. Just thinking about it makes my lower body tighten.

"Our queen doesn't need it!"

Nanny Xiang stood between Jiang Xinyue's legs: "It's only been an hour, it's not too long at all. Our queen will give birth soon, there is no need to cut it open."

"You are going to kill Concubine Zhen."

The old woman picked up the scissors. Jiang Xinyue saw the shiny scissors and was so scared that she held her breath. Her facial features were trying hard.

The quarrel from the delivery room made Emperor Xuanwu even more anxious: "What are you quarreling about? How is Concubine Zhen?"

Mother-in-law Wen pushed away Nanny Li who was holding her and said: "Your Majesty, I am trying to save Concubine Zhen, but Nanny Li tried to stop me from doing

so. She is really a wicked person." "The Queen doesn't need you to save her at all. You are trying to destroy her while she is unable to move."

If a concubine in the harem is injured and cannot recover well in the future, she will never be favored by the emperor again.

Despite all the precautions, Mother-in-law Wen still could not prevent someone from bribing her.

However, Nanny Li and Nanny Xiang had practiced Jiang Xinyue's childbirth countless times, so they were not at all fake.

Just now, the old woman quietly took out a pair of scissors and was about to cut Concubine Zhen as if nothing had happened, but Nanny Xiang grabbed her arm. Nanny Li pulled hard and pulled the old woman out.

The old woman just said that Nanny Li didn't understand. Imperial Physician Yan explained in the surgery: "Your Majesty, episiotomy is an extreme method that is only suitable for when the fetus is too large and cannot be delivered normally. I have felt the fetus of Your Majesty, and the fetus should be only about six pounds. Your Majesty can give birth to it by herself, and there is no need for episiotomy."

Emperor Xuanwu of course believed Imperial Physician Yan: "Bring that old woman out and beat her to death with sticks."

The mastermind behind the scenes may not find the real culprit after investigating again and again, and Emperor Xuanwu just wanted to shock them and directly beat the person who harmed Concubine Zhen to death.

She also told everyone present that anyone who dared to be bribed to harm Concubine Zhen would be killed if caught, no questions asked.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! It was... I was forced to do it, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

She could have confessed before harming Concubine Zhen that she was threatened.

But she didn't, and instead chose to go along with the crowd, so she should bear the consequences.

"It's born! It's born, it's born..."

"Pa pa pa..."

Accompanied by a few slaps, the baby's cry was like beautiful music that entered Jiang Xinyue's ears.
