Jiang Bai ignored Young Master Wang; now, she had only one thing on her mind—Wang Linlin's due date was fast approaching.
Jiang Bai also filled the well in the prefect's residence with spiritual liquid. When making medicinal meals for her, he no longer used ordinary water, but used spiritual liquid to make them all.
If it weren't for the fear of being exposed, Jiang Bai would have made Wang Linlin wash her face with the spiritual liquid.
After eating like this for about ten days, Wang Linlin's condition did improve considerably, and she was even able to occasionally get out of bed and take a walk.
Of course, no one dared to let her move around too much. Her belly was so big that even touching it was frightening. Xiaolian once secretly cried, saying that she felt her belly would burst open if she didn't give birth soon.
Jiang Bai rushed over to act as a psychological counselor and comforted her.
The maids and servants who served him most closely were all brought from the General's Mansion. Almost all of them were very anxious. Lin Yong hadn't even smiled in the past few days. He would only force a smile when he saw Wang Linlin.
He apologized to the Emperor long ago and requested a royal physician, and now half a month has passed.
The old imperial physician was also on high alert, awaiting the great test of Wang Linlin's childbirth.
It was already winter, and the most senior midwife had prepared a special room as a delivery room. The location of the delivery room was determined by several feng shui masters, and it was believed to be beneficial to both the mother and the child.
The delivery room had a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) with a fire burning day and night to keep the soft bedding warm. The windows were sealed tightly with paper to prevent the mother from being exposed to drafts during childbirth.
Finally, after everyone had been waiting, one night, when everyone was fast asleep, Wang Linlin took her first steps.
Lin Yong was the first to discover it. He didn't sleep in a separate bed from Wang Linlin because he was afraid that if something happened, Wang Linlin wouldn't be able to call for help.
He had been on edge the whole time, and when he heard the faint moans beside him, he initially thought it was a hallucination.
Wang Linlin called out a few more times, and Lin Yong immediately snapped to attention, jumping up and shouting, "Someone come here!"
He was at a loss, supporting Wang Linlin's neck to help her breathe more easily, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is she about to give birth?"
Wang Linlin was in so much pain that she was covered in cold sweat and didn't have the strength to answer, so she just nodded forcefully.
At that moment, Xiaolian rushed in.
Lin Yong asked Xiao Lian to wrap Wang Linlin in a blanket, and then he personally carried her to the delivery room.
At this moment, the lights in every room of the government office gradually came on, and the place was bustling with noise. When Jiang Bai arrived at the door of the delivery room, the imperial physician was kicking Lin Yong out.
Jiang Bai went inside.
Inside, there was only the imperial physician, two local midwives, and the old woman who had been serving Wang Linlin. Xiao Lian, who was not yet married, was kept outside.
Seeing that everyone was sweating profusely from the heat, Jiang Bai quietly moved closer to the midwife and asked, "How is the situation now?"
“It may take some time to give birth,” the midwife said with a troubled expression. “The lady’s constitution is too weak.”
She already has a cold uterus constitution, and she's pregnant with twins, so she's probably going to suffer a lot.
Jiang Bai had never seen a woman give birth in real life, and all his concepts about childbirth came from TV dramas before he transmigrated. At this moment, he could only secretly pray to heaven that her cervix would open up quickly.
She moved next to the imperial physician and asked, "Could I make her some brown sugar water? The midwife said it will take a long time, and I'm afraid she won't have the strength."
"That would be perfect," the imperial physician said, stroking his beard.
Jiang Bai hurried outside, where people surrounded her, asking, "How are you?"
Jiang Bai tried to keep a relaxed expression on his face and said with a smile, "It hasn't started yet, don't worry. She's in good condition. She'll probably be giving birth for a while. I'll go out and make her some brown sugar water."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and made way for her. Then they stared intently at the delivery room, motionless like statues waiting for their husbands.
Jiang Bai hurriedly went to the kitchen, put out a pot of spiritual liquid, added a few spoonfuls of brown sugar, and simmered it.
Once the pot boiled, Jiang Bai placed it on a tray and carried it over, where he heard children crying.
One of the midwives came out to report: "It's born! It's a baby boy!"
Jiang Bai saw Lin Yong's tears suddenly fall.
Xiao Lian asked, "How is Madam?"
The midwife's troubled expression vanished in an instant. She forced a smile and said, "She's still giving birth. Don't worry, the first one came out so quickly, the others will be easier to handle."
Jiang Bai noticed something was wrong with the midwife, squeezed past her, and went into the delivery room with her.
As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong stench of blood, a smell that was almost nauseating, but none of the people present showed any disgust.
They no longer have the energy to manage their own situation.
The midwife in front of Wang Linlin looked up helplessly and whispered, "What should we do? The mother has no strength left."
The imperial physician, his eyes bloodshot, placed acupuncture needles on Wang Linlin's head and said, "Don't let her sleep; keep her awake."
The midwife's voice became even softer: "She's already unconscious."
Jiang Bai, carrying a tray, hurried forward and saw the imperial physician holding a four- or five-inch-long needle. He immediately plunged most of it into Wang Linlin's head. Wang Linlin didn't react at all, only trembling slightly from the force of the impact.
There was no reaction at all.
Jiang Bai said, "Shall I feed her some brown sugar water?"
The imperial physician glanced at her with pity, wanting to say that it was certainly useless, but seeing Jiang Bai's anxious face, he sighed and swallowed his words.
He said, "Feed her slowly, don't let her choke."
"Okay." Jiang Bai gritted his teeth, poured the brown sugar water into a bowl, and carefully fed it to Wang Linlin.
Wang Linlin has lost her ability to swallow.
At this moment, Jiang Bai disregarded everything else, pinched the other person's mouth, and fed them mouth-to-mouth. To prevent the brown sugar water from affecting the taste, she also secretly fed them a few mouthfuls of pure spiritual liquid.
When they fed her the fifth bite, Wang Linlin's throat moved, she coughed a few times, and regained consciousness.
Everyone present cheered in unison.
Jiang Bai picked up the brown sugar water again and fed it to Wang Linlin spoonful by spoonful, briefly explaining the current situation to her: "Madam, you have another child in your belly. Keep going and give birth to the baby."
Wang Linlin was in excruciating pain in her lower body. She gritted her teeth and groaned, then began to exert force again.
Those gathered outside the delivery room heard Wang Linlin's cries of pain rise again, and a short while later, the baby's loud cry rang out.
The midwife was overjoyed and rushed out to say, "Congratulations, sir, on the arrival of another little prince!"
Two boys!
"Good, good." Lin Yong clapped his hands and laughed, tears welling in his eyes. He didn't forget to ask about Wang Linlin's condition, "Is Madam alright?"
"All is well, mother and child are safe," the midwife said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yong burst into laughter again, and then shouted, "Rewards! Everyone will receive a reward today!"
