Chapter 299 Contractions, Lady An is troubled by her aunt
Unexpectedly, Lin Miaoyin started ahead of time.
The pain came in waves, and the pain of contractions made her face turn pale and her breathing a little difficult.
My water broke and I'm going to be born soon.
Lin Miaoyin had planned everything but never expected to give birth in the palace. The palace was not prepared at all, and she felt uneasy and worried that something might happen.
The medical level in ancient times was too backward, and giving birth to a child for a woman was like stepping into the gates of hell. In order to prevent accidents, she thought of and implemented various issues in advance.
She checked the baby's development, body shape and fetal position once a week, prepared the necessary items for delivery at home in advance, found a midwife, and even trained them in advance.
In order to suffer less pain during a natural birth, she was walking and moving around throughout the late stages of her pregnancy.
At present, the baby’s size and fetal position are normal, there is no big problem, but the biggest problem now is the movement in the uterus, and there is nothing but herself.
Lin Miaoyin clenched her fists and tried her best to relieve her nervousness and worry. It's okay, believe me, everything will be fine.
Yuzhu supported her with a panicked look, at a loss, "Miss...how are you?"
"It's okay, don't be nervous." Lin Miaoyin breathed gently, trying to calm herself down, and then comforted Yuzhu, "Help me sit down first, go call someone over, and ask the Queen to send the midwife into the palace."
Under Lin Miaoyin's orderly instructions, Yuzhu's emotions gradually calmed down. After helping her sit down, she forced herself to stay calm and ran to call for help, but she almost fell because she ran too fast.
Lin Miaoyin held her belly and looked a little frightened, fearing that Yuzhu would get hurt from the fall.
Lady An next to her was also making ahhh sounds, her face full of anxiety. She wanted to help but couldn't, and was completely worried.
Lin Miaoyin sighed helplessly. As a person who was about to give birth, she was the calmest one.
She endured the pain and comforted An Meiren, "It's okay, don't worry, the child is fine, nothing will happen."
However, no matter how calm she acted, the contractions, which became stronger and stronger, gradually tortured her to the point where she broke out in cold sweats and turned pale. Although she was mentally prepared, she still underestimated the pain of childbirth.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly and used abdominal breathing, inflating her belly when she inhaled, relaxing her body, and concentrating on exhaling, trying to reduce the pain as much as possible.
When she was almost exhausted from the pain, Beigong You walked over with difficulty, his face full of worry.
"How are you?" Beigong You stared at her closely, wanting to touch her but not daring to, "What should I do?"
"What are you doing here?" Lin Miaoyin gasped. What can he do with this body? The most important thing is not to cause trouble for her.
"I can help." Beigong You held her hand, "Tell me what to do?"
"You..." Lin Miaoyin was in so much pain that she could hardly think.
She exhaled, trying to control her breathing rhythm, "Have someone carry a sedan chair to take me to my mother's palace. I can't give birth here."
Yilan Palace has been abandoned for many years and the environment is poor. If a child is born here, it is easy to get infected.
Medical conditions in this era are poor, and she can't take any risks.
"Here it comes, the sedan chair is here." As he was speaking, Feng Ming came over with a few young eunuchs, carrying two sedan chairs.
Beigong You carefully helped Lin Miaoyin up, "Slow down."
"I can still hold on." Lin Miaoyin gritted her teeth, holding her stomach and moving step by step towards the sedan.
Although she was in unbearable pain and every step she took felt like she was walking on the edge of a knife, she also knew that Beigong You's condition was worse than hers. She was worried that Beigong You would not only be unable to take care of her, but would overdraw his body and use up his last breath.
"careful!"
Beigong You did not let go, but picked the person up.
Although his body kept shaking, he clenched his teeth.
"Beigong You!" Lin Miaoyin was shocked.
How could he hug her in his current state? Did he think he wasn't dying fast enough?
Beigong You didn't give her a chance to refuse and directly sent her to the sedan chair.
He didn't know where the strength came from. When he was lying on the couch, he had no strength at all and became a limp useless person. But when he heard Yuzhu say that Lin Miaoyin was about to give birth, he still had the strength to struggle to get up and even hold her in his arms.
"Send the princess away quickly!" he ordered with gritted teeth.
As soon as he released the force, his lungs began to feel a burning pain, as if a sharp knife had cut through his trachea and stabbed straight into his lungs, crushing his entire chest cavity and causing him to be unable to breathe.
"Your Highness, let me take you there as well." Feng Ming urged.
Beigong You nodded with all his might.
Then he thought of something and subconsciously looked around.
At this time, Yilan Palace had returned to its former desolate and deserted state, and Concubine An was no longer visible in the dry grass.
"Mother, Mother..."
"Your Majesty, please go and accompany the princess first. I will go find the beautiful lady."
Beigong You nodded with difficulty and was helped by Feng Ming into the sedan chair. However, he was still worried about Concubine An and repeatedly instructed Feng Ming.
Soon, Lin Miaoyin arrived at Ganquan Palace.
When the Queen got the news, she asked Nanny Xu to prepare. When she saw Lin Miaoyin, she immediately sent her to the side hall to give birth.
"Miaoyin, put the ginseng slice in your mouth quickly."
She personally put the ginseng slices into Lin Miaoyin's mouth, held her hand and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, the midwife will be here soon."
Although Lin Miaoyin prepared a midwife herself, she also looked for a few others.
"Your Majesty, the hot water is ready. The imperial kitchen has also prepared chicken soup, shredded chicken noodles, brown sugar eggs for Princess Ning... Do you want to send them over now so that Princess Ning can eat some first, so that she won't have too little strength when giving birth later?" asked Aunt Xu.
"Send them all here." said the queen anxiously.
Anxiety once again appeared on that dignified and quiet face.
When the queen was young, she gave birth to a child, but it was difficult to deliver the baby, and the baby was in an awkward position. She gave birth for two days and two nights, but the baby was suffocated to death in the birth canal because the delivery took too long, and the baby died when it landed. Because of this incident, she could no longer give birth.
This incident left an indelible shadow on her both physically and mentally.
So she was extra careful with Lin Miaoyin's pregnancy.
Since she became pregnant, she would send supplements to Prince Ning's mansion every now and then. In addition to the midwife, she also hired two female doctors at a large sum of money.
It is imperative that Lin Miaoyin and her child are safe.
The queen's hands were very cold, and there was even a layer of cold sweat on her palms.
Lin Miaoyin found that she was more nervous than herself, so she said, "I'm fine, Auntie, please go out first. It's only two fingers open, there's still some time to wait."
"It's okay, your aunt will be here with you." The queen shook her head, as if she wanted to see it with her own eyes before she felt at ease.
Lin Miaoyin couldn't resist and didn't refuse anymore.
"Aunt, has Prince Ning returned? His health is not very good, and I'll have to trouble you to take care of him." Thinking of Beigong You, she couldn't help but ask, and then she thought of Lady An in Yilan Palace. After briefly explaining the whole story, she asked, "I'll trouble Lady An, aunt."
Later, the contractions became more and more intense, and she couldn't care about anything else.
