Chapter 179
In Shishi Hutong, the most famous doctors in Jinling City come in an endless stream.
They kept busy until midnight, the lights in the house were still on, hot water was boiling in the kitchen, and the maids and servants of all sizes in the house were rushing back and forth, not daring to slack off at all.
Luo Yining still had some sense at this time. She slowly let go of Lu Jiaxue's hand and said, "You go out first..."
Lu Jiaxue was about to refuse, but when he saw a hint of pleading in her eyes, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He was silent for a moment and then said, "Okay, I'll be outside." Then he stood up.
The midwife looked at her slender thighs, the blood spreading continuously, and felt dizzy. If anything happened to this lady, I'm afraid that the master would not let them go. Because of the threat of death, her hands trembled slightly. She said to the maid next to her, "Quick, get some cotton cloth!"
By midnight, the baby still hadn't arrived. She was truly too young, her pelvis barely fully developed. Yi Ning's voice trembled with pain, and her strength was dwindling. The midwife grew increasingly anxious. Yi Ning's gaze drifted away, and she caught sight of the bright moonlight streaming quietly through the window, the red crepe lantern gleaming brightly.
She thought back to the Lantern Festival, when Luo Shenyuan had taken her to the temple fair. What a wonderful time it had been. She leaned against him, his gentle hands holding hers tightly. Street food piled high on the table, and he had bought her sweet osmanthus cakes. She couldn't hold back her tears, her cheeks wet.
Yining raised her head weakly, gasping for breath. After feeling someone holding her, she turned her head and saw Lu Jiaxue coming in. Luo Yining choked a little and said intermittently: "Lu Jiaxue, if I die... can you... send me back to him?" Her voice weakened as she spoke, and she murmured, "Can you..."
"How could you die?" Lu Jiaxue kissed the back of her hand, his lips were also cold.
She was pale and sweating profusely.
Lu Jiaxue finally gave in. He leaned forward and said angrily, "If you're alive, I'll send you back! If you're dead, forget it!"
"You must keep your word... " Luo Yining murmured.
"Of course I keep my word." He turned to the girl and said, "Hurry up and bring the medicine!"
In the capital, Luo Shenyuan was in his study, and Gu Jingming was still having a private conversation with him: "The Emperor really likes that immortal master you found... He summoned me to the palace several times to discuss Taoism with him. Now he has begun to tell the Emperor about the fortune-telling method, so it's almost time to start preparing. But it seems that old man Wang Yuan doesn't completely believe you."
"He doesn't trust anyone, but as long as the Qingliu Party survives, he will lend me a helping hand." Luo Shenyuan said, holding a memorial in his hand.
Gu Jingming looked at the memorial in his hand and tutted his words, "Now that the Qingliu Party is scolding you like this, you don't care? I get angry just listening to it!"
"What's there to be angry about?" Luo Shenyuan threw the memorial aside. "I did betray my master and did not help him. And I got involved with Wang Yuan. Go ahead and scold them. Anyway, they don't have any other skills besides scolding."
Gu Jingming was a little speechless. "Why do I feel like you're a little irritable today? That Doctor Si Yu made a minor mistake this morning, but you scolded him mercilessly. He almost begged for mercy."
Luo Shenyuan raised his head and said slowly: "Really? I didn't feel that way."
He had to find his cousin as soon as possible, Gu Jingming suddenly thought.
"I'm going to Daguo Temple tomorrow," Luo Shenyuan said, "to burn two sticks of incense. You don't need to come."
Gu Jingming was surprised: "You started to believe in Buddhism, how come I didn't know?"
Luo Shenyuan smiled silently, then said, "I really don't know...what else can I believe in."
When there is nowhere else to turn to and nothing you can do, you can only turn to Buddha.
"Then I'll go back first." Gu Jingming complained, "I always come to meet you in the middle of the night. My wife suspects that I have a mistress!" He had just gotten married.
He opened the door and walked out, and only then did Luo Shenyuan return to the main room to prepare for bed. He leaned against the bed and placed her usual quilt beside him. The quilt no longer had her scent on it, but he still had to look at it to fall asleep.
In Jinling City, the good news finally came at dawn.
I don’t know if Lu Jiaxue’s words worked, but the situation has improved.
"My Lord, the cervix is open!" the midwife said excitedly, and hurriedly asked someone to spread Yining's legs wider. She reached out to help.
Lu Jiaxue retreated back behind the screen. He had already been with her all night, and his expression was extremely grim: "Just help me, no need to tell me!"
The midwife quickly leaned over and said, "Give Madam some ginseng soup and watch the baby's head!"
Luo Yining was in so much pain that she couldn't think about anything else. She was sweating, trembling and gasping for breath. How could giving birth be so difficult? She clutched the quilt tightly, as if she could feel that person sitting on the edge of the bed again, his arms around her. Having him by her side was the most reassuring thing, no need to worry about anything. She closed her eyes tightly.
After drinking the soup, she seemed to have some strength. She couldn't think of anything and just gritted her teeth!
Suddenly, her body relaxed and everyone in the room let out sounds of surprise and joy, but she didn't react for a long time.
"It's a boy! It's a boy!" someone said. "Why isn't the child crying?"
The old woman came forward and slapped her butt twice.
Yining heard a child cry from inside the house, a cry like a cat's meow. Amidst the chaotic noises around her, the cry was remarkably clear, and many people gathered around in amazement to see. It was Yining, gasping for breath on the bed. She wanted to see what the child looked like. But she couldn't move, couldn't speak.
