Su Daocheng was very moved after hearing this. He hugged the person tightly in his arms and they snuggled together.
It was a warm moment when Pei Huan suddenly felt that the clothes under him seemed to be soaked.
She was a little slow to react for a moment. After a long while, she finally looked up, shivering from the cold.
"Daocheng, I, I, I feel like I'm about to give birth..."
In a word, both of them were dumbfounded.
It’s not that they are stupid, but it’s been more than ten years since Pei Huan last gave birth to a child.
Even now, she still often feels unreal when she is pregnant. She has even forgotten the feeling of giving birth.
As for Su Daocheng, he didn't need to take care of the births of concubines in the harem before, as someone would naturally arrange it.
Moreover, it had been many years since the last birth of a newborn baby. For a moment, he had no idea what he should do.
On the contrary, Pei Huan reacted quickly, patting his hands to comfort him while greeting people.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine. I'm not in pain. I'm fine. Someone, come! Someone, come! I'm about to give birth~~~ Someone, come quickly~~~~"
For convenience, all the servants were not far away. When they heard the call, they immediately rushed over.
Only then did Pei Huan seem to feel the pain in his abdomen and began to cry out in pain.
Su Daocheng picked her up and said, "Huan'er, Huan'er, hold on, I'll carry you back to the room first! Someone come! Someone come. Imperial physician, midwife, come and help! Hurry! My princess is about to be born~~~~"
Su Daocheng shouted happily, but his facial expression was always tense. Just after he put the person on the bed, he was pushed out of the room by the midwife and the nanny.
"Grand Emperor, you cannot come in here. Please leave immediately and wait outside. Don't disturb the Empress while she's giving birth. We will come to you if anything else happens."
"No, I promise I won't cause any trouble. Huan'er is at the critical moment of giving birth, so I have to stay here with her."
Su Daocheng spoke so earnestly that everyone couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
Pei Huan was still more sober. The familiar pain reminded her of her first childbirth. She knew very well how difficult and terrifying that process was.
She didn't want Su Daocheng to see her in such a miserable state, so she started cursing.
"Su Daocheng, you bastard! If you're capable, come and give birth for me! If you can't, get out now! Don't force me to scold you.
I'm almost dying of pain now. I don't want to see you. If I see you, I'll get angry and lose all my strength! Get out now!"
Having been married for decades, Su Daocheng could naturally hear the bravado in her words.
He didn't want to leave, but when he met Pei Huan's eyes filled with tears as he struggled to turn his head, he felt heartbroken.
In an instant, guilt filled his heart.
It's all his fault! If it weren't for him, Pei Huan wouldn't have suffered so much. Why did I forget to take care of Huan'er at that time?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He actually raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
Then, in a trembling voice, he instructed everyone present, "Okay, I'm leaving. But listen carefully, everyone. No matter what happens to the child, Huan'er must be treated well by me. Is that clear?"
After hearing this, everyone knelt on the ground and responded in unison.
Pei Huan opened his mouth to blame, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help crying. His heart was sour, touched, distressed, worried, and scared.
It's like a mixture of all kinds of flavors.
Su Daocheng walked quickly to her, brushed the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead to the sides, and gave her a kiss.
"Be good, I'll be waiting for you outside. Don't be afraid. From now on, I will never let you be scared like this again."
Pei Huan held back her tears and pushed him, and Su Daocheng turned around and left reluctantly.
But in order to let Pei Huan know that he was always there, he had a flute sent over and played the song he and Pei Huan had composed together.
As the melodious tune sounded, Pei Huan also gained more strength.
After all, twins are more difficult to conceive than a single baby. In addition, Pei Huan has not given birth for many years and is also old, so the process is a bit difficult.
Three full hours passed, and the child still hadn't been born.
Pei Huan's screams of pain could still be heard intermittently in the room. Su Daocheng outside had been blowing the flue for three hours without moving, and he refused to stop even though his hands were almost frozen.
Everyone was very worried.
Suddenly, a noisy sound of footsteps came from outside the yard.
Su Daocheng subconsciously looked up, and a light flashed in his eyes.
"Little Bell? Sheng'er? Why are you here?"
Xiao Lingling glanced at him, left him and rushed into the room carrying the medicine box on her back.
Su Jingsheng accompanied him outside, "Father, you guys are really reckless. You clearly knew that the Queen Mother was advanced in pregnancy and could give birth at any time, yet you didn't send a message to tell us where she was.
We can only find you thanks to Little Bell’s help, otherwise we don’t know when we will be able to come here.”
Su Daocheng was a little embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but your mother said she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and she didn't let me tell you because she was afraid you would worry.
Besides, I brought the imperial physician with me, thinking the problem might not be that serious and that it was my negligence. Luckily you guys came. Sigh. Maybe I’m really getting old. I really can’t deny my age.”
Su Jingsheng was also melancholy after hearing what he said, "Don't worry, father, Xiao Lingdang is very powerful. She has received the true teachings of my master, so there will be no problem."
I don’t know if it was such a coincidence, but just as he finished speaking, the first baby cry was finally heard.
There was joy on both of their faces.
"It's happening! It's happening! Your mother has finally given birth. That's great! It will be over soon."
"Yeah, these two brats are really good at torturing Mother. When we came in, we heard people outside say that Mother had been tormented for more than three hours."
"Of course! Another quarter of an hour will make it four hours. Wait, that's not right. The child hasn't even been born yet. How do you know it's two brats?"
Su Daocheng reacted belatedly and looked at him with curiosity.
Su Jingsheng didn't care much, "Of course it was Xiao Lingling who told me. Didn't she check the Queen Mother's pulse before?"
Su Daocheng felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him from the sky.
He said it was strange. Usually, the imperial physician could basically determine the gender of the baby after three months, but this time he kept saying that he couldn't tell clearly whether the baby was twins.
He recalled the strange expression Huan'er had on her face every time he called her belly "little princess", and now he finally understood what was going on.
It turns out that everyone knows that they are two bad boys, but he is the only one who is still hoping that there will be a princess!
My goodness, I felt so sad in an instant!
If he knew they were just two brats, why would he let Huan'er suffer so much? It was so careless.
