The Fourth Master is with the Lady at this moment.
I heard that the concubine hasn't given birth yet, so it seems there's still a lot of trouble ahead.
"Princess, you should take a rest first. It will definitely not be so fast for the concubine." Shancha came over and said.
"Well, I don't know how the Fourth Master is doing." Wen Mianmian muttered and went back to the house to rest.
On the second day, Wen Mianmian was woken up early by Shancha and Shannai. After getting up, she dressed, washed up, had breakfast, and went to Fu Jin's place.
I heard that Fu Jin seemed to be having difficulty in childbirth, after all, the child has not been born safely yet.
At this time, Princess Song and her three concubines had already arrived.
The Fourth Master is still here, his eyes are bloodshot, and you can tell at a glance that he hasn't slept all night.
"Greetings to the master."
The Fourth Master saw her and waved his hand, "Get up."
Then he said nothing.
Wen Mianmian could also understand the Fourth Master's feelings at this moment.
After all, Li Gege's child is gone, the Fourth Master has lost a son, and Fu Jin also had a dangerous birth.
The Fourth Master must be very worried and sad, after all, they are his own children.
Wen Mianmian sat aside, waiting quietly without saying anything else.
Inside, the midwife saw that the cervix was almost dilated and quickly said, "Fujin, follow me. Push hard when I tell you to."
Fu Jin was in so much pain that she could only nod randomly when she heard the midwife's words.
Follow the midwife's instructions and breathe hard again and again.
"Oh no, no! The baby is lying sideways. There's no way it can come out. Call the doctor quickly." The midwife shouted hurriedly.
The imperial physician was waiting outside and hurried in after hearing this.
When the Fourth Master heard this outside, his heart also tightened.
He stood up and looked inside worriedly.
Wen Mianmian and the others didn't expect this to happen.
Only a hint of a triumphant smile flashed in Song's eyes, but it only lasted for a moment, but it was also caught by Wen Mianmian.
Wen Mianmian was shocked, but she didn't show it on her face.
Instead, he turned his head and looked at Fu Jin thoughtfully.
The imperial physician came in to give Fu Jin acupuncture and helped the midwife to determine the direction of the baby.
"Oh no, the lady is bleeding heavily." another midwife shouted.
There was a sudden panic inside, but fortunately, Nanny Chang and Nanny Li calmed those people down.
Someone went out to report to the Fourth Master.
"Master, the wife is bleeding heavily, and the baby is in an abnormal position. I'm afraid... I'm afraid only one can be saved."
The Fourth Master was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the midwife with a sharp expression and shouted angrily, "I want the Concubine and her child to be safe. If anything happens to Concubine and the child, I will kill all of you."
The midwife was obviously frightened by the Fourth Master's words. She quickly responded, then quickly stood up and ran back to the delivery room.
Naturally, everyone inside also heard what the Fourth Master said, and they all felt fortunate for Lady Fujin.
"Fujin, did you hear that? The Fourth Master said that mother and child must be safe. You will be fine."
Nanny Chang knelt beside Fu Jin and wiped the sweat from her forehead while speaking.
Fu Jin naturally heard it as well. She would not give up and she must give birth to the little prince safely.
Finally, Fu Jin's bleeding stopped, and she successfully gave birth to a little prince in the evening.
"It's born, it's born, it's a little boy." The midwife happily picked up the child.
Upon hearing that it was a young prince, Fu Jin smiled and fell asleep exhausted.
"Oh, why isn't this child crying?" The midwife hit the little prince several times, but the little prince showed no signs of crying.
The imperial physician hurriedly checked and pressed an acupoint. The little prince immediately burst into tears, but the sound was very small, like a cat's meow.
The imperial physician carefully examined the little prince and concluded that he was born weak and needed to be well taken care of in the future.
The imperial physician went out and told the Fourth Master about this matter, and learned that the mother and child were safe.
The Fourth Master finally put his mind at ease.
Seeing the imperial physician hesitating, it was obvious that he had something else to say.
"If the Imperial Physician has anything else to say, please just say it." The Fourth Master intuitively felt that the next words were not what he really wanted to hear.
The imperial physician bowed and said, "My Lord, the Fourth Lady is bleeding heavily. Although it has stopped, she is still injured. From now on... I'm afraid she will have difficulty getting pregnant again."
The Fourth Master obviously didn't expect this to happen. His face looked a little unhappy, and he said in a deep voice: "If you take good care of it, can you recover in the future?"
The imperial physician shook his head gravely. "It's very difficult. After all, the Fourth Lady's heavy bleeding damaged her foundation. Even if she takes good care of herself in the future, it will be difficult for her to get pregnant again."
"and……"
"If you have anything else, just tell me directly, Imperial Physician." The Fourth Master looked at the Imperial Physician with a grim expression.
"Besides, the little prince was born prematurely and stayed in the womb for too long, so he is born weak. He will need to be carefully cared for with medication from now on."
When the Fourth Master heard the news from the imperial physician, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Wen Mianmian was right next to them, and when she saw this, she hurried to support the Fourth Master.
"Master, please take care of yourself." Wen Mianmian was a little worried when she saw the Fourth Master like this.
"I'm fine." The Fourth Master patted Wen Mianmian's hand.
At this time, the midwife wrapped the child and took him out.
The Fourth Master glanced at his eldest prince. The eldest prince was very small, no bigger than a cat, and there were some bruises on his body.
The midwife said that it was caused by something being held in the womb and that it would be fine after a while.
Wen Mianmian was a little worried when she saw the little prince, a small ball.
But there was nothing she could do, as the medical conditions at that time were not as good as those in later generations.
If it were in modern times, a premature baby like the eldest prince would definitely have to live in an incubator and be breastfed. Even if he was a little weak, he would not be too weak.
But in the Qing Dynasty with its strict rules, this was obviously impossible.
Don't ask her how she knew that. Of course she heard it from her colleagues who have children at work.
The Fourth Master asked someone to take her away and take good care of her. Then he went in to take a look at the already unconscious Fu Jin and returned to the front yard.
When the other princesses and concubines saw that the Fourth Master had left and that the Lady had safely given birth to the eldest prince, they also left one after another.
However, many of them were secretly happy when they heard that Fu Jin was fundamentally injured and would never be able to get pregnant again.
Especially Wang, the wife of the royal concubine could no longer get pregnant.
The eldest prince was born with something wrong, and even the imperial physician said that the younger prince was born weak and needed to be well taken care of.
Wen Gege had fallen into the water before, and her master had been asking her to serve him all this time, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant. She must be infertile.
In that case, then she would have a chance, and she still has that thing in her hand.
As long as she can get pregnant with the master's child, then her status will also rise in the future, and no one will look down on her in the future.
Thinking of this, Wang felt happy.
When the Fourth Master returned to the front yard, Su Peisheng brought over all the suspects.
"Master, we've checked these servants and they're all suspects. The most suspicious one is Chunxiang, the maid who sweeps the courtyard in Li Gege's courtyard."
