Chapter 213: Dangerous Labor
Little Fuzi jumped up, rolling and crawling, and ran towards the Tonghua Terrace without slacking for a moment.
Yunshan held Song Zhao, who was trembling with pain, tightly in his arms.
Now that Xiao Jingheng had sobered up, and realizing that he had just made a big mistake, he hurriedly picked up Song Zhao and carried her sideways. While comforting her, he quickly walked towards the Tonghua Terrace.
Fortunately, Tonghua Terrace is not far from Changle Palace.
When Xiao Jingheng carried Song Zhao back to Tonghuatai, the sedan chair was already prepared. He carried the person on and repeatedly instructed the palace servants to hurry.
Along the way, Xiao Jingheng held Song Zhao's hand tightly and comforted her in a deep voice.
"Don't be afraid, Zhao'er. I'm with you. I won't let anything happen to you!"
He was also panicking and regretting his rash behavior.
"It's all my fault. I made you suffer like this..."
"emperor......"
Song Zhao wanted to say something, but the severe pain did not allow her to utter a complete sentence.
She could only shake her head in pain and hold Jamel Xiao's hand tightly.
Her armor had just been removed by Yunshan, and now her fingertips, like water lilies, were almost embedded in the flesh of Xiao Jingheng's hand.
It had to be like this to make Jamel Xiao feel pain,
Only then could he empathize with Song Zhao for a moment.
After rushing back to Changle Palace, the midwife and the imperial physician were already waiting outside the palace.
Because Song Zhaoben was close to her due date, Changle Palace prepared everything needed for delivery early in the morning.
Xiao Jingheng carried Song Zhao back to the inner bedroom and laid him gently on the couch.
The midwife immediately surrounded him and advised him, "Your Majesty, the delivery room is bloody and it may be inconvenient for you to stay here. Could you please move to the main hall and wait for a while?"
Xiao Jingheng leaned over and kissed Song Zhao's sweaty forehead, saying:
"I will be guarding you outside. You and our child will be safe!"
Song Zhao gritted his teeth and nodded slightly in response.
When Xiao Jingheng left the inner chamber, as he was closing the door, Song Zhao heard him solemnly instruct the imperial doctors standing guard outside the door,
"No matter what, we must ensure that Concubine Yi is safe and sound!"
Later, the door of the bedroom was closed heavily, blocking out any noise from outside.
Four midwives surrounded Song Zhao, took off her lower body clothes, and began to help her give birth.
She lay flat on the couch, her legs spread apart by the nanny, who also placed two pillows under her hips to make it easier for her to exert force.
They were like annoying flies, constantly buzzing in Song Zhao's ears, asking her to use more force.
But she only felt unbearable pain coming repeatedly, as if a heavy object was hitting her lower abdomen, making her sweat profusely and unable to help but screaming heartbreakingly,
The harder she pushed, the more pain she felt, to the point where even breathing was painful.
Fortunately, Yunshan is there to accompany her.
Yunshan asked Song Zhao to hold her hand tightly so that she could exert a little more strength.
"My lady, hold on!"
It was the first time for the little girl to see such a scene. She felt so sorry for Song Zhao’s pain that she couldn’t help crying.
Nanny Li, who delivered the baby, said to her:
"Girl, why don't you wait outside? If you keep crying here, the Queen won't be able to give birth peacefully."
Yunshan wiped her tears to stop crying, but she refused to move at all.
Song Zhao had told her a few days ago that during the delivery, no matter who called her out, even if it was Xiao Jingheng, she could not leave for even a step.
Now Xiao Fuzi cannot accompany him, only Yunshan can accompany Song Zhao throughout the whole process.
She has to keep a close eye on it all the time and dare not slack off at all.
After a while, seeing Yunshan was frozen and refused to move, Nanny Li said again, "Miss, go and get some hot water. I have to clean the vagina of Concubine Yi."
Song Zhao was so focused on production that he had no time to think about anything else.
Yunshan first shouted at the door, "Quickly get some hot water!"
Then he said to Madam Li in a solemn voice, "Madam, just concentrate on your job and don't worry about asking me to do anything. If you do that and something happens to our Madam, we won't be able to have a good life!"
Nanny Li thought Yunshan was timid, but she didn't expect that this little girl could be so powerful when she started to argue.
So she said nothing more and continued to concentrate on delivering Song Zhao's baby.
I don't know how much time has passed,
With Song Zhao's desperate roars, the child was finally born safely.
The first thing the maids did was to check the baby's sexual characteristics.
Then he happily announced the good news to Song Zhao: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! It's a little prince!"
Song Zhao let out a long sigh, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
Nanny Li found some time to get a pair of scissors from the tray beside her. Just as she was about to cut the umbilical cord, Yunshan noticed something was wrong.
All the items needed for Song Zhao's production were prepared by Yunshan himself.
Although the scissors that Nanny Li was holding now were very similar to the ones she had prepared, Yunshan still keenly noticed the subtle differences.
Her heart tightened, and she immediately shouted, "Wait a minute!"
While Li Ma was wondering, Yunshan snatched the scissors from her hand.
Without taking her eyes off Nanny Li, she walked backwards to the drawer of the dressing table and pulled out a pair of scissors that she usually used for cutting needles and thread.
Yunshan moved very skillfully. She first coated the blade with white wine and then quenched it with fire. Then she handed the scissors to another nanny and asked her to cut the umbilical cord.
After the umbilical cord was cut, the nanny slapped the little prince's white buttocks a few times.
The little prince burst into tears immediately.
Moreover, the crying sound is loud and crisp, which makes people feel at ease when listening to it.
After briefly cleaning the baby's placenta, the nanny held the baby in her arms and showed it to Song Zhao.
"Look, my lady, the little prince is so handsome~"
Song Zhao looked at this strange little guy.
Her skin was white, her eyebrows were light and well-shaped, and her eyelids were deeply wrinkled, just like Xiao Jingheng's peach blossom eyes that were curved inward and outward.
However, the delicate and tall nose and the slightly upturned lips are exactly the same as Song Zhao's.
She was naturally delighted, but at the same time she was not sure whether such a cute little guy had really come out of her belly.
After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said:
"Take it out and let the emperor have a look."
When the maids hurried out to announce the good news, Yunshan still stayed by Song Zhao's side.
She wiped the sweat off Song Zhao's face distressedly and choked up:
"Thank you for your hard work, madam."
Song Zhao smiled and whispered back,
"You have to go through this hard time, and the days ahead will get better and better."
