Chapter 962 Catch Her
In the bedroom, Bu Shengyan was lying on the bed.
Her water had broken, and waves of severe pain made her face turn pale.
The two midwives were checking the items needed for delivery, and the maids were being ordered around.
A nanny stood by the bed, soothing the British princess in a gentle voice.
After the court doctor took the pulse of Princess England and confirmed that she was in good physical condition, he left the bedroom.
But he did not go far. Instead, he stood outside the bedroom door. As long as there was any situation inside, he could rush in to rescue people immediately.
At this time, the butler led the imperial concubine over.
The court physician bowed to the imperial concubine.
As a man, it was not convenient for the butler to enter the delivery room. He stopped at the bedroom door and spoke respectfully to the imperial concubine.
"Your Highness, please come in."
Xiao Xixi did not go in directly, but stood at the door and looked carefully at the bedroom in front of her.
She could vaguely sense the bloody light coming from the bedroom.
She didn't know whether the blood was due to the unborn baby or for some other reason.
In short, she had to be prepared just in case.
Xiao Xixi took out a talisman from her sleeve, stuck it on the door, and instructed the housekeeper.
"Don't touch this talisman."
The butler didn't understand what the talisman was used for, but since the imperial concubine had given the order, he could only comply.
Xiao Xixi lifted her skirt slightly and walked into the bedroom.
There was no floor heating in the room, the doors and windows were all closed, and the temperature inside was very high.
As soon as she entered the door, she felt a wave of heat blowing towards her.
When everyone in the room saw the imperial concubine coming, they immediately stopped what they were doing and knelt down to greet her.
Bu Shengyan, who was lying on the bed, also wanted to get up, but was stopped by Xiao Xixi.
"Princess, lie still and don't move."
The nanny tactfully stepped aside and gave the seat beside the bed to the imperial concubine.
Xiao Xixi walked over and sat down beside the bed.
Bu Shengyan's face was a little pale at this time, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead and her brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that she was suffering from the pain.
She endured the pain and spoke with difficulty: "Thank you for making this trip, Your Majesty."
Xiao Xixi: "Not only did I come, His Majesty came too. He and Marquis Dingyuan are sitting outside. They are all waiting for good news from you and the child."
Bu Shengyan stretched out her trembling hand.
Xiao Xixi immediately held her hand. Her fingers were cold and her palms were full of sweat.
Bu Shengyan: "My child will definitely be born safely, right?"
When she asked this question, her eyes were fixed on the imperial concubine, not missing the slightest change in expression on her face.
Xiao Xixi said without hesitation: "Of course, you and the child will be safe."
After getting the answer she wanted, Bu Shengyan immediately felt much more relaxed.
Then a huge wave of excruciating pain suddenly hit me.
She couldn't help but cry out in pain.
But she held Xiao Xixi's hand and did not let go.
Xiao Xixi could only let her hold her, and turned to look at the nanny next to her and asked in a low voice.
"Is everything ready?"
Mammy nodded: "Everything is ready."
At this time, the midwife brought a bowl of hot ginseng soup: "Princess, drink this soup quickly."
Bu Shengyan didn't want to drink. She was in so much pain that she had no appetite at all.
The midwife advised: "If you don't eat something now, you will be too weak later. Giving birth is a strenuous job. For you and the baby in your belly, drink something."
For the sake of her child, Bu Shengyan had no choice but to drink the soup.
When the delivery officially started, Bu Shengyan felt even more pain and screamed one after another.
The midwives gathered around the bed and delivered her baby in an orderly manner.
In order not to disturb them, Xiao Xixi stepped aside.
The nanny asked cautiously, "It takes a long time to give birth to a child. Do you want to go out and rest for a while?"
Xiao Xixi said no.
According to her previous divination, the British princess's pregnancy should be smooth, but just before entering the room, she noticed a red blood light in the room.
This made her feel a little uneasy.
While everyone was focusing their attention on Princess England, Xiao Xixi began to walk around the room, looking for the cause of the red blood light.
She searched everywhere she could, but found nothing.
Everything is normal in this house.
Production is indeed a very long process.
Especially for pregnant women, the process is not only long but also extremely painful.
Bu Shengyan was in so much pain that she almost died, and her mind started to become blurred.
Marquis Dingyuan could no longer sit still. He walked to the bedroom door with his crutches. Through the door, he could clearly hear the screams from inside the house and was extremely anxious.
Luo Qinghan stood quietly in the courtyard.
He immediately noticed the talisman to ward off evil spirits pasted on the door. It must be Xixi's work.
The snowflakes are still falling.
The housekeeper was afraid that the emperor and Marquis Dingyuan would be cold, so he quickly asked someone to bring a stove and prepared a pot of hot wine to warm the two nobles.
In the bedroom, Bu Shengyan was sweating profusely from the pain and was almost exhausted.
The two midwives kept shouting at them to push harder.
But Bu Shengyan really had no strength left.
She felt like she was dying.
The midwives realized that the situation was not good and immediately asked someone to bring another bowl of ginseng soup.
Soon a maid ran out.
When she walked in with the ginseng soup, she let out a cry of surprise.
"ah!"
Then her hand shook and the whole bowl of ginseng soup spilled out.
Seeing this, the butler who was guarding outside immediately frowned and scolded in a low voice.
"How do you do your job? You can't even hold a bowl of soup steady. Do you think all the food you eat on weekdays is for nothing? What's the point of the palace keeping you?!"
The maid's eyes turned red from the scolding, and she defended herself aggrievedly.
"I didn't mean to do that. When I pushed the door just now, I suddenly felt it was very hot and I got scared."
The housekeeper said angrily, "How could a good door be hot? I think it's your brain that's hot. You can even come up with such an unseemly excuse. What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and bring another bowl of ginseng soup!"
Xiao Xixi, who was in the room, immediately looked towards the door when she heard the maid's words.
At this time, the door had been pushed open a tiny crack, through which one could see the scene outside.
Xiao Xixi walked over, opened the door, and found that the talisman that was originally pasted on the door had fallen to the ground.
She immediately looked at the maid who turned and left.
"Catch her."
Luo Qinghan immediately signaled the guards to go and get the person.
Two guards rushed over and dragged the maid over.
The maid was panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy: "I was wrong. I will be careful next time and will never spill the ginseng soup again. Please spare my life, Your Majesty and Your Majesty!"
Xiao Xixi bent down and picked up the evil-repelling talisman on the ground.
The ground was covered with ginseng soup. The originally yellow talisman paper turned into an ominous black color after it came into contact with the ginseng soup.
The housekeeper asked in surprise, "Why did the talisman paper change color?"
Xiao Xixi: "There must be something wrong with this ginseng soup."
