The labor pain became more intense after Zhao eating some sugar porridge.
Su Muge took a look at Zhao’s private part. The cervix had opened two centimeters. “Mom, hang on, the cervix is to open.”
Zhao was healthy generally, but she had been bullied by An for many years, which harmed her health to some extent, and she went into labor early. She was dizzy but she made all her efforts to keep a clear mind. She had no energy to think why Muge knew a lot about labor.
Su Muge sent Yueru to collect all she needed, at the same time, the cervix was open fully.
“Mom, listen to me, breathe in and breathe out, try hard!”
Zhao grasped the quilt and obeyed Muge unconsciously.
Zhao had given birth to a child and this was her second labor. It should have been smooth. However, it’s been a long time, there was no more progress.
Meihua and other maids were too young to know the childbirth things, and they were all frightened by the basin with blood water.
An, who should have dealt with the general affairs in the mansion now, was enjoying the traditional opera in a theatre in the main street of Shunyang prefecture, with elegant and tranquil smile.
Li Mama entered the VIP room of the theatre and whispered to An, “Madam, Zhao fell down.”
Hearing that, An sneered complacently and continued smiling, “Such a pity. She’s been pregnant for so many months. If she died due to falling down, there would be two corpses. Does the lord know what happened?”
“The lord is off work today, and he is drinking in Zuihua Restaurant with some fellows.”
An stared at the stage, smiling hugely. “Interesting.”
“Ah!” Zhao cried loudly, making hearts tremble.
Su Muge looked at the sunset and thought that it’s been so long, if there’s still no progress, the two would be in danger!
Muge kept rubbing Zhao’s belly. The fetus was on position and Zhao had given birth a child before, so there shouldn’t have been a difficult labor.
“Madam, bad news, a man told me that your mother fell down on the ridge, and she died!”
Chunju didn’t bring a doctor but a thunderbolt news!
Zhao opened her eyes wide and huge, staring at Chunju and breathing heavily.
Muge had not enough time to stop Chunju saying that. She was so furious that she kicked Chunju out of the room. “Shut her mouth!”
Zhao's mother lived in Zhao Village of Nancheng prefecture. Zhao was filial to her mother. Even if she lived a hard life in the Su mansion, she would try her best every year to send her mother something to support the old lady.
Muge understood that at this hard time, Zhao would be collapsed knowing that there was something wrong with her mother!
Zhao really did. She cried strongly. Her voice had become low and sorrowful, as if she were to faint.
Muge pinched her philtrum immediately because she was afraid that Zhao would die if she was not awake while she was being delivered!
“Mom, you have to give birth to the child safely now. That’s the most important thing!”
Zhao grasped Muge’s hand and gritted her teeth. “Yes, it’s my baby. I have to give birth to my child!”
Muge kneaded Zhao’s acupuncture points to make her more powerful. Until it was completely dark, a loud cry came from this shabby courtyard. The baby was delivered.
“Wa, Wa...”
“Congratulations, madam, it’s a boy!” Meihua held the baby who had been cleaned and almost lost her voice because of crying.
Zhao’s face was bloodless and pale, she held Muge’s hand tightly.
“Mumu...take good care of your brother, and, go to see your grandmother...”
Just finishing her sentence, Zhao passed out.
Muge was to clean Zhao’s body, but smelled a strong blood smell with heat when uncovering the quilt.
She looked down and gasped in the scene.
Flood of blood!
“Congratulations, my lord, Madam Zhao has given birth to a boy.”Su Lun was back from drinking, and everyone congratulated him on having a son. He was so excited that he treated the maids of Peachblosoom Courtyard better.He was in his thirties and expected a son for a long time, so he was so excited to see the baby.An followed Su Lun and she forced herself to smile, pinching Li Mama with her sharp fingernails so heavily that Li was frown for the pain.She really gave birth to a baby, and it’s a boy!“Congratulations, my lord, heaven is blessing you.”“It’s right, my lord. Madam An prayed for Madam Zhao in the temple in the daytime, and Madam Zhao gave birth to a boy in the evening.”Su Lun looked at An gently. “You are so kind.”An glanced at the yard and said, “My lord, the young master is precious and he should be taken good care of, but Zhao is so weak after a labor that she
“I want to strangle that bastard!”“Peng!” An pounded on the pear wooden table heavily.“Oh, my Madam. What are you doing? It will hurt yourself.”“Why didn’t she go to die!” An was so furious, up and down in the chest. For many years, she designed numbers of methods for killing Zhao and Muge, but she didn’t put into practice. The reason why she permitted Zhao being pregnant many months was because she was intended to make Zhao and her fetus both die and no one can suspect her. “Relax, my Madam. Now the baby is here. What are you worrying about?”“That bastard? You think I should bring up him? Don’t forget, he is Zhao’s son and with her blood, that bitch!”Li Mama understood that An had a higher birth than Zhao who was humble and An looked down on Zhao. However, An couldn’t give birth to a boy.But Li couldn’t say that out.“Madam, the young master is a treasure of the lord and n
“Madam, Chunju is kneeling in the yard. She said the eldest Miss was to drive her out of the mansion. She begged you to save her.” Li Mama opened the curtain and walked into the room, whispered to An.An was upset about Su Wenmo’s ceaseless crying. Su Wenmo was the name of Zhao’s son. And Su Lun gave the name to him.The baby had been always crying since he was sent here. An was so angry that she wanted to throw him into a well.Chunju was a spy that An placed around Zhao in those years. It wasn’t strange that she came here now. “What’s wrong with her? Just because she couldn’t call a doctor, Su Muge then drove her out of the mansion?”“I heard it’s because...” Li Mama told An the sequence of events about Muge’s grandmother—Zhang.Hearing that, An became calm.“Now that she made such a big mistake, isn’t driving her out a bit too easy? You know what I mean, Li Mama.”Li Mama knew
“Why?”“Mom, don’t worry. Nancheng prefecture is close to Shunyang prefecture. I will be back ten days later.”“But I will worry about you.”“There is no need to worry. I will go along the official road and I have bodyguards. I’ll be safe.”Zhao worried about Muge, but she saw Muge was determined and she was concerned about Zhang, so she said yes finally. “You are away from home. Promise me to be very careful.”“Mom, take it easy. I’ll be OK.”Before she left, Muge enjoined Yueru on many things.“The eldest Miss, I’ll remember.”Su Lun was told that Muge would go to Nancheng prefecture. It’s rare that he kindly arranged a carriage, three bodyguards and one driver for Muge.“You are a young lady. Why don’t you bring some maids when you go out?” Su Lun noticed that there was no one around Su Muge and frowned.She was his daughter who was born
“Crack!”A bolt of lightning lit up the temple, and Su Muge could see the statue, dilapidated and hideous, which made her frightened.The temple was shabby but it’s a shelter from wind and rain. Su Muge lit the wood and straw with Huozhezi, a roll of paper that could be blown to fire. Her clothes were wet from the rain and it’d better dry them. Otherwise, she would catch a fever by wearing wet clothes.Su Muge took some food from the carriage and she put a wooden stick behind the door of the temple for safety.Despite this, the temple was in the middle of nowhere and no one could come here.She took off her outer clothing and dried it by the fire.“Ah Qiu” Muge sneezed.It’s darker outside, but the rain continued.“It’s so cold.” After a long journey and all-time tension, she was so tired that she leaned on the pillar to have a rest by closing her eyes. However, she
“What did you say?” The man squinted at her frighteningly.Su Muge rubbed herself between her eyebrows and wore her outer clothing. She had a fever and felt cold so she made the fire hotter.“You are wounded on the waist. If you don’t take off your clothes, I can’t deal with it.”Hearing that, the man stared at her and observed her carefully.She covered one of her eyes with a handkerchief. She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was audacious and calm when facing him.He pulled his clothes off. Muge caught sight of his muscle on the chest.She hated to admit it, but he was really in good shape, and there is literally no flab on her body at all.“Stop staring at me.” His voice was still ice-cold.Su Muge got closer to him and stared at his body more carefully. “If I don’t observe carefully, how can I know where the wound is?”She squatted down to
Su Muge started the carriage and continued her journey to Nancheng prefecture. She wanted to visit Zhang on behalf of Zhao since she had made the promise.She took a whole day to travel along the official road and finally saw the lofty gate of Nancheng prefecture.When she entered the prefecture, it was already dark and too late to continue the journey. She had to head for Zhao village till tomorrow.Several days’ journey made Su Muge exhausted, so she found an inn to accommodate herself after buying some medicine she may need.“Please arrange a first-class room for me.”The innkeeper took a look at her covered eye, freezing a bit, and said, “OK, lady. Please wait for a moment.”“Where is the manager? Come here quickly.”A yell burst out outside when the innkeeper just finished his words.Su Muge turned back and saw two soldiers wearing military uniforms, followed by a man wearing
“There is an assassin. Catch him!” The soldiers rushed to the man in black from the front yard.The man in black saw so many soldiers coming to him, and he was about to grab Su Muge. Su Muge tended to avoid him, but it was too late to escape. She was finally caught by the man in black and controlled before his chest, and the sharp point of his sword was against her neck.“Don’t push me, or I’ll kill her!”Su Muge closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She told herself to be calm!The soldiers hesitated for a while when seeing Su Muge was caught, but instantly they relaxed.For them, saving a common person was less important than catching an assassin aiming at the princess!“Catch him, and he must be alive!”Bastards!Su Muge didn’t expect them to save her, but she was still angry when hearing that. She bit the man on the hand when he didn’t pay attention to her. “Ah
The abbot just came back to his senses and stepped forward with a frown. Before Jiang Yingxue came in, he checked the princess's pulse. At that time, the princess's pulse had been blocked and the situation was very dangerous. At this time, he had to quickly use a needle to clear the princess's heart pulse. , but even in this case, the princess's situation will be very dangerous.But now that Jiang Yingxue has applied pressure on the princess, the blocked heart veins have been slightly unblocked. If nothing else, at least as Jiang Yingxue said, the princess is no longer in danger of her life.Jiang Yingxue stood aside and quickly glanced at King Jinling. He was wearing a very simple dark-colored robe, with a mutton-fat jade belt tied around his waist, which made him taller and taller.He had a pair of majestic sword-shaped eyebrows. Originally, there should be a pair of deep and sharp eyes under such eyebrows, but the look he cast on the princess was particularly ge
Jiang Yingxue almost lost her voice and asked, "Didn't you install a pinhole camera on me?""Your Majesty is really clever."Su Yuchen held the reins and slowed down the horse."My lord, why did you break off the engagement in the first place?""What did you say?" Jiang Yingxue's words were not loud, but Su Yuchen heard them, but he still asked.Jiang Yingxue shook her head suddenly. She was really crazy. She asked what she was doing for no reason!"Nothing, I, I want to find Mr. Han. I have something to ask him.""You have a lot to ask him."Jiang Yingxue had something on her mind and didn't notice anything wrong with the tone of his words.Su Yuchen took Jiang Yingxue to the door of the palace."Your Majesty.""This king has something else to do, you can go find it yourself.""Thank you, Your Majesty."When Jiang Yingxue walked into Mr. Han's yard, she always felt that something was wrong, as if there we
When Jiang Yingxue woke up early the next morning, her heart sank when she looked at the red line that had extended to the base of her palm.This grows too fast! With the speed at which the red thread was growing, she was afraid that if she didn't get the artifact, she would go see King Yama first!I wonder if Mr. Han has any way to slow down the growth of red lines.With something on her mind, Jiang Yingxue couldn't sit still. After breakfast, she was ready to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion to find Mr. Han.Because she was in a hurry, Jiang Yingxue asked Chu Yi to drive the car faster. When she reached a street and was about to turn, someone suddenly rushed out on horseback.Chu Yi was shocked and quickly tightened the reins in her hands, but the opponent's speed was too fast. Even though she pulled the reins immediately, the opponent's horse still hit her."ah!"Jiang Yingxue only felt a violent tremor outside the car, and she was almost knoc
"Your Majesty, those are not sesame seeds, they are the particles that originally grow on the red fruit. They are edible."Bai Linghan felt that his face had been lost due to this red fruit!"Get out!"Jiang Yingxue rolled her eyes inwardly, she was such a bad tempered person."Yes, slave, please leave."After Jiang Yingxue left the house, she went directly to the small kitchen behind the palace. Just kidding, how could she leave without getting the Phoenix Pendants!The people from Nayu Kingdom have just arrived, so no one will use the small kitchen."The emperor has gone to bed. You all go outside and keep watch. The emperor likes peace and quiet, especially at night. There shouldn't be any noise.""yes."Jiang Yingxue lay beside the door, listening to the noise outside, and climbed out of the window.She climbed to the eaves neatly, and carefully came to the roof where Bai Linghan was. She removed the tiles on the roof,
In the imperial palace, in the royal study."Your Majesty, the Great Xia Great War will be held in less than half a month. Now the honor guards from various countries have entered the borders of Daxia and will reach Bianjing City in less than ten days."Emperor Shang Zong pondered the lock on his hand and raised his head after hearing this."Just follow the management arrangements from previous years."Wen Dahai glanced at Emperor Shang Zong who was looking at him intently and felt helpless. "Your Majesty, the honor guards from various countries have arrived. Who does Your Majesty think would be more appropriate to receive them?"Emperor Shang Zong put down the lock in his hand and walked around the study twice with his hands behind his back."What do you think, boss?""The eldest prince is prudent in his work, so he can naturally take on big responsibilities." Wen Dahai said hurriedly."It's stable, but it's too boring. Why don't we l
Jiang Yingxue hid in the firewood shed in the backyard of Huawang Mansion, looking at the blood gradually drying on her palms, her heart was filled with despair!True dragon blood, not the emperor, nor the prince who might become the emperor in Bianjing! Who else could it be? Could it be that they are those young princes who are not taken seriously by the emperor at all, who have no support from their mother's family, who have absolutely no sparkle in them?or it could be...King of Jinling?When warriors from all over the world went to Daxia to hold a battle, King Jinling would also come back. It happened that she also wanted to confirm whether Su Muge was with King Jinling.Jiang Yingxue walked out of the woodshed, opened the door to the backyard of the palace smoothly and walked out.It was true that Baili Xun had people blockade the palace, but the speed of those people could not compare with Jiang Yingxue. By the time the guards came, Jiang Y
Are you afraid of him?Facing such a powerful man with great kung fu, she was afraid of confronting him. However, no matter what Su Yuchen's mentality was after getting along with him during this period of time, Jiang Yingxue felt that he would not kill her. life, so she couldn't say she was afraid of him."Your Majesty, do you want me to be afraid of you?"Su Yuchen looked at her and didn't answer.Jiang Yingxue smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me today." As she said that, she felt blessed and followed Wen Dahai.It wasn't until Jiang Yingxue's back disappeared from sight that Su Yuchen turned around and left the palace.It was already the second watch. After surviving the sleepiest time, Jiang Yingxue was no longer so sleepy.She lay on the bed and looked at the green tent in confusion. After today's banquet, the emperor should grant marriages to his sons soon. Judging from the emperor's attitude today, he also planned to settl
Jiang Yingxue looked around, but there was no one there."Strange, where have people gone?""Little eunuch? Little eunuch?" She stood outside the rockery and waited for a while, then frowned after making sure there was no one inside.It was unlikely that the little eunuch got lost in the rockery, and it was also unlikely that he would just leave without confirming whether she had followed him out. Where did that person go?While Jiang Yingxue was confused, there was a sound of footsteps behind her. Jiang Yingxue turned around and looked at the visitor alertly. It was a palace maid wearing a peach-colored palace dress.Jiang Yingxue looked at her and felt that this person looked familiar."Greetings to Miss Jiang, this slave is Wanlian who is serving Concubine Hao. Just now, Xiao Dunzi suddenly felt sick in his stomach and ran to the latrine. When he saw the slave, he asked the slave to come and send Miss Jiang to the guest hall."It turned o
Everyone focused their attention on the lock in the hand of Jiang Yingxue."This lock is made with great care by me. You can't possibly..."There was a "click", and the emperor's unfinished words were stuck in his throat.The lock is open!The emperor's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets!Everyone held their breath and their hearts were raised. Jiang Yingxue opened the lock made by the emperor. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face! ?Everyone was waiting to see how angry the emperor would be and how he would punish Jiang Yingxue. But who knew that after the initial shock, the emperor ran to Jiang Yingxue with an earnest look on his face."You little girl, I thought you were interesting before. Tell me, how did you open this lock?""The emperor's locks are very exquisite, and I just tried my luck to open them." Just kidding, Jiang Yingxue has been a professional locksmith for more than ten years, and even
