Although it started at noon, it was still very early before actual production.

Yuzhu lay with his eyes closed, staring at the top of Baiziliuhua's sandalwood bed. He wanted to curse in his heart. It was so painful to rest for a while. She strongly demanded to have a good time, if she didn't worry about her mother in the room.

He Wenpo, she almost wanted to raise her head and shout: Let the storm come more violently.

However, giving birth to a baby was not a quick process, and it required a lot of torment. Even if she wanted to be relieved as soon as possible, she still had to endure the waves of labor pains.

Mother Ruan wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and went to the end of the bed to check on her from time to time.

"Don't worry, everything is going smoothly." Ruan Ma's voice was calm and clear, ringing in Yu Zhu's ears: "... Take the time to sleep for a while to recuperate."

Yu Zhu had just endured a long period of dull, nausea-inducing pain. He took two deep breaths, obediently closed his eyes and began to count the sheep.

He was confused and didn't know if he had fallen asleep. Another wave of pain came over him like a tide. Yu Zhu clenched his fine teeth tightly and tried hard to adjust his breathing.

I don't know if it's going to rain outside or something, but it's very stuffy and uncomfortable. The delivery room is covered so tightly that not even a breath of wind can get through.

The thin cotton clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body. Yu Zhu stretched out her hand to wipe her face uncomfortably - she felt that her hair, eyelashes, and hair were all wet and sticky, and she couldn't breathe, let alone

How uncomfortable.

When he gets desperate, he bites the pillow and refuses to let go - even if Ruan's mother doesn't say it, she knows that screaming is very exhausting.

I just finished eating in the evening, and now I feel nothing.

Outside the delivery room, Cheng Xunxun stood quietly, with an upright posture and his eyes staring at the door, but he didn't know where his eyes were wandering.

The maids and women waiting outside the door lowered their heads and held their breath, not daring to make a sound.

At this time, the door opened, and Yao's mother opened the curtain and walked out.

"...Second Master?"

As soon as she came out, she was locked with Cheng Xunxun's ice-like eyes. She was so frightened that Yao's mother, Qing Lingling, shivered. She hurriedly blessed herself and said: "Madam wants to eat, I'll go to the kitchen."

The clenched fists hidden under the wide sleeves loosened. Cheng Xunxun withdrew his gaze and said in a steady voice: "Go ahead."

Mother Yao hurriedly ran to the small kitchen.

The princess of Zhuyi lazily nestled on the beauty couch with broken huanghuali branches and magnolia flowers, gently shaking a fragrant wood, silk and elk light rhombus fan. There was a small sardonyx dish on the high table with curved legs of nanmu next to her.

Looking at the apple cut into equal pieces, the white flesh was penetrated by a silver skewer, and clear juice oozed out, flowing on the plate, as bright as blood.

"Master, why are you back? Why don't you stay in Qinghui Courtyard for a while?" Yu's mother couldn't help but nag. She knew best how unpopular her master was when he married her. If she didn't take the initiative, she would still

I don't deserve to be left out even more.

She advised: "You should calm down your temper, at least..."

She couldn't tell what to do. The current situation was really a dilemma.

Princess Zhuyi picked up a piece of apple and put it into her mouth, biting it gently with her silver teeth, and the sweet juice flowed out immediately, "You can't tell me."

She smiled softly, swallowed the pulp in her mouth, and continued: "Being able to leave the palace is already a huge blessing, it doesn't matter what happens next... The Queen Mother will not give up after being threatened like that by me."

Thinking of the commotion outside, Yu's mother said anxiously: "What if you give birth to a brother? The direct lineage of the Duke's family is very small. If you can give birth to a child, the Duke will definitely love him like a treasure."

Looking at the old nanny who had been arranged by her mother since she was a child, looking worried for her, Princess Zhuyi's eyes softened, "The uncle of the Cheng family is very capable, and the second master is also capable... If I were

I really gave birth to a child and was pampered, but I’m afraid it will be lost inexplicably before it’s grown up.”

"...Besides, I still don't know if my body can give birth." Princess Zhuyi smiled bitterly and said, "I know even if you don't tell me, the first pregnancy was so dangerous that it will be difficult to get pregnant in the future."

When she mentioned her first child, the angry look of that jackal-like man suddenly appeared in Mother Yu's mind, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Princess Zhuyi seemed to have thought of it and fell silent.

"Boom——"

There was a dull thunder in the dark sky in the distance, rumbling and shaking people's hearts. Immediately afterwards, lightning flashed and thunder, and huge raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the tiles with a crackling sound.

In the delivery room, Yu Zhu was being supported by Mama Ruan and Mama Yao as she walked slowly around the room. The pain was now much longer, and she could only walk for two seconds in a short space of time with half a frame and half a support.

Step, when the next round of labor pain comes, lean on Mama Ruan to rest for a while.

He could no longer tell where the pain was. The pain became tighter and more intense each time. Yu Zhu couldn't care about anything. He just moved his legs with difficulty and walked forward. There was only one belief in his mind. Take another step, and then take another step.

Take a step forward...

Her black hair was scattered behind her shoulders like a waterfall, and on her chest, a few strands were wet with sweat and stuck to her cheeks, making her face small and white. She bit her lip without making a sound, with a stubborn look on her face that made Mama Ruan look at her.

Heartbroken.

Seeing that Yu Zhu couldn't walk anymore, Mama Ruan figured that the time had come, so she helped Yu Zhu back to the mother-of-pearl painted bed.

After standing for a long time, he actually felt that lying down was also a happy thing. Yuzhu looked at the sky and thought: When did he become a semi-immortal? He just said that the storm would be more violent, and this is how it started.

Although you can't see it, from the sound of rushing water, it's obvious that the rain won't be too light.

In Deyuan, Mrs. Cui had just finished offering incense and came out of the small Buddhist hall. Seeing that Lin Yuanzhi also looked uneasy, she said, "Master?"

Lin Yuanzhi finally came to his senses. Through the half-opened window, he could see the rain under the eaves. He pinched his eyebrows and asked Cui: "No news yet?"

Mrs. Cui was also panicking. She shook her head when she heard this and tried to calm down: "The first baby is not that fast."

Looking at the rain, he frowned and said: "Why is it raining so heavily? It's already cold at night, and with the humidity, it's better not to catch a cold... And the thunder just exploded so loudly, Zhu Ya'er

Are you afraid? What if you are scared..."

"You just have nothing to worry about." Lin Yuanzhi put the cold tea cup in his hand on the small table beside the chair and said, "...Have you prepared the gifts for the three dynasties?"

Ms. Cui nodded and said, "It's already been done. We have longevity locks and tiger-head shoes. We just wait for the child to be born... I just hope that the child will be well-behaved and don't torment her mother for too long."

When the child was mentioned, Lin Yuanzhi also became happy and affirmed: "He must be a good child."

He now has a grandson and a granddaughter, but he still has no grandson. He couldn't help but sigh: "My sister is about to give birth, and Lan Yatou hasn't moved yet. She is really very lucky."

Mrs. Cui smiled and said nothing, snoring in her heart: No matter how great your blessing is, it is all in vain if you don't cherish it.

Cheng Xunxun opened the curtain and looked at the pouring rain outside, his eyes darkened slightly.

Sixteen years ago, it was a rainy night like this. My sister-in-law was giving birth, and my mother and brother stood outside the delivery room door, anxiously waiting for news.

He was only ten years old at the time and was not allowed to go, but he still pretended to be asleep to deceive the maid and woman, and then secretly hid aside in the heavy rain...

Next…

Basins of blood and water were brought out of the house. As the night progressed, the women became more and more panicked.

As soon as a thunderstorm passed, I saw Qiao’s mother running out of the delivery room with her hands covered in blood. With a pale face, she asked Mrs. Bao whether she should save the baby...

Before they could recover from the shock, a scream of extreme pain and hoarseness was heard in the room. He was startled and almost jumped into the puddle. He couldn't believe that it was someone who had always been gentle and approachable.

My sister-in-law shouted it out.

When I looked again, Mother Qiao had already stumbled into the delivery room...

He will never forget his brother's expression at that time...

Now...he knows the heart-wrenching feeling.

Yang's mother rubbed her eyes, looked at the dripper in the corner of the room, and advised: "It's Yin time. I think the second wife won't be able to give birth for a while. You can go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll keep you here."

Cheng Xunxun slightly stretched his tight and sore back, shook his head and said, "No, it's just a night of sleeplessness, it's no big deal."

He must stay here.

That girl is very delicate and tender, as if she could squeeze water out of her mouth. Can she bear it?

He remembered that when his sister-in-law gave birth to her adopted brother, he was as big as her and even fatter...

While thinking about it, the soft ram's horn palace lantern in the room gradually lost its luster - the sky gradually became brighter.

In the delivery room, Yu Zhu felt that her whole body was about to be torn apart and crushed to pieces. Her long eyelashes were wet with sweat. Her eyes were completely white, leaving only the last trace of clarity. She listened mechanically to Ruan Ma**'s instructions.

If a spoon was passed to her mouth, she would open her mouth wide and try to swallow the soup in the spoon. Even if she couldn't taste anything, she would still swallow it.

Mother Yao finished feeding half a bowl of brown sugar water, and wiped the sweat on Yu Zhu's forehead with a handkerchief. She sighed in her heart. Sure enough, her body bones were not fully grown, so she would have to suffer more.

Mother Ruan was also sweating. Although she was experienced, no one could be sure about giving birth to a child... Fortunately, although my wife was young, she never panicked and did whatever she was told, which made her feel more at ease.

.

"...The cervix is ​​open." A round-faced Wen Po suddenly said in surprise.

The few Wenpogu on the side were shocked and all gathered around.

"Madam, we are about to get over it... Just use more strength, and the baby will come out soon. He will be fine in a while." Mother Ruan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly motioned to Mother Yao to help Yu Zhu stand up while speaking loudly.

Yu Zhu had been in pain for so long and had long been numb. Suddenly, after hearing these words, his spirit was shaken. All the anxiety and fear turned into strength, pouring out from his limbs and bones, and concentrated in one place.

At this point, the fierceness in Yu Zhu's bones was finally aroused. He took a deep breath and reached out to grab the curtain...
Chapter completed!
