Just because of the folk saying that "seven live and eight don't live", Empress Changsun managed to carry the child to nine months despite everyone's trembling!
At the end of June, the weather was hot and Empress Changsun's breathing became heavier. However, because of her frailty, she did not dare to put more ice cubes in her bedroom.
Looking at the uncomfortable look on the face of Queen Changsun, if she really followed her own ideas and let her survive until the child is ten months old, I am afraid that both her and the child's lives would be in danger!
After convincing different empresses Changsun, the doctors could only tell Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and his son all the dangers and seriousness in detail.
When Li Chengqian was a child, he mostly stayed with Empress Changsun. Between his unknown younger siblings and his mother, he naturally chose his mother. As long as his mother was alive, would he be afraid that no younger siblings would be born in the future?
Therefore, fearing that his father would be undecided because of his mother's determination, Li Chengqian specially asked Li Qing to go to Changsun's Mansion in person, to make the seriousness of the matter more serious, and to tell Changsun Wuji again, asking him to hurry up
Enter the palace to persuade Li Shimin together.
It was related to the life and death of his baby sister, so Changsun Wuji naturally couldn't sit still! Originally, when Queen Changsun was pregnant, Changsun Wuji had persuaded Queen Changsun and Li Shimin respectively, hoping that they would abort this untimely child, etc.
Empress Changsun has taken good care of herself, and it will not be too late to have children.
Unfortunately, Empress Changsun disagreed. Li Shimin respected Empress Changsun's opinion and felt that with so many imperial doctors and Sun Simiao's daughter Sun Yuniang around, there shouldn't be any big problems. This is why Empress Changsun became pregnant day by day until now.
!
Li Shimin had just heard the serious situation informed by the imperial doctors and Li Chengqian's persuasion from the side. Before he could make up his mind, Changsun Wuji rushed in with a dark face. Old Tears rushed in.
Under the sincere and tearful offensive of Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian, as well as several princesses and Li Zhi who came to inquire, Li Shimin decided to put aside the stubborn opinions of Queen Changsun and let the imperial doctors induce the birth as soon as possible to protect Queen Changsun.
safety!
The decoction to induce birth was fed by Aunt Xiangcui without the knowledge of Empress Changsun.
In the side hall, the old aunt in charge of midwifery and several medical women with good skills were all receiving repeated advice and corrections about midwifery techniques from Fang Yiai and Sun Yunniang.
In the next room, a group of imperial doctors were also ready. Even the medicine cabinets filled with medicinal materials were ordered to be brought over by Li Shimin! The medicine boy, the stove and the medicine pot for decoction, etc., were all prepared for ten times each.
They came to form a group and almost wiped out the financial resources of Shang Pharmacy!
One dose of the medicinal decoction to induce labor is still simmering. In addition, there are two doses of the decoction to nourish qi and two doses of the decoction to stop bleeding, all of which are being cooked on the stove.
Crown Princess Wu Meiniang has already led people into the Li Zheng Palace. She is accompanying Empress Changsun in front of her bed and saying some pleasant words, waiting for Empress Changsun to start giving birth.
Li Shimin took Li Chengqian to the Lizheng Palace to visit Empress Changsun, and then went to the Changle Palace where Princess Changle once lived, near the Lizheng Palace, to wait for news from Empress Changsun.
In fact, the father and son wanted to stay in the Lizheng Palace, but they were afraid that Queen Changsun would see the clues and become unhappy again, so they suppressed their thoughts and waited in Changle Palace.
As for Princess Chengyang and Li Zhi, as well as Princess Yuzhang and Princess Hepu who were fostered under the name of Queen Changsun, they all followed Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and waited in Changle Palace.
Changsun Wuji couldn't wait for the result. Naturally, he would not leave the palace easily. He also waited anxiously in Changle Palace with Li Shimin.
Princess Changle entered the Changsun Mansion in Li Qing. Then she hurried into the palace with Changsun Wuji. Worried, she sent someone to ask about the news in the palace. She also hurried into the palace with worries, holding out her newly pregnant belly.
He came to Changle Palace where he once lived.
Seeing Princess Changle appearing in Changle Palace with a slightly protruding belly and a worried look on her face, Li Shimin glared fiercely at Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong, who was worried about accompanying him, and quickly asked someone to prepare Princess Changle for her collapse.
Go to the next room with the other princesses and wait, saying that as soon as there is any news, someone will be there to notify you.
I drank two bowls of labor-inducing soup intermittently, and it was not until evening that the news of Empress Changsun's attack came from the Li Zheng Palace.
Everyone's anxious hearts suddenly rose to their throats, and they all paid homage to all the gods in their hearts, hoping that Queen Changsun could successfully pass this test.
Li Shimin couldn't sit still for a long time after receiving the letter, and he took people directly to the Li Zheng Palace and the Changle Palace. Naturally, they followed him without worry.
Except for Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and his wife, and Changsun Wuji, all of them were kicked out of the Lizheng Palace by the imperial doctors. The reason was that too many people would affect the circulation of breath, which was not conducive to the birth of the frail Queen Changsun.
Originally, they were going to blast Changsun Wuji out together, but seeing Changsun Wuji's gloomy face and dangerous eyes with sharp cold light, the palace servant in charge of the blast was so frightened that he didn't even say a word and walked around directly.
Changsun Wuji kicked the others out.
In response, Changsun Wuji snorted coldly, glanced at the unfortunate palace servant, and said nothing more.
Listening to the instructions of the imperial doctors behind the curtain, the shouts of the midwife, the cheers of the midwife, and the medicine boys and palace maids running back and forth quickly, and the footsteps of the medical girls, I could only hear clearly the birth of Queen Changsun.
The cry of time!
Looking at the full candlelight in the Li Zheng Hall, which was constantly swaying as people came in and out, Li Shimin couldn't help but recall the scene when he met Changsun Wuji and then got to know Empress Changsun.
Then later, when I begged my father Li Yuan to Gao Shilian to get Empress Changsun, and the satisfaction and joy in my heart when I lifted the red hijab of Empress Changsun on the wedding day. There was also the joy when I heard that Empress Changsun was pregnant with Li Chengqian, and
The reluctance to give up when oneself had to be ordered to go on an expedition.
When it came to the Xuanwu Gate incident, when Empress Changsun followed him without hesitation, her determined look that would never leave her and follow her through life and death made Li Shimin feel happy and heartbroken.
Thinking that Empress Changsun had always helped him take care of the backyard and never let him worry about the back house, Li Shimin couldn't imagine what it would be like without Empress Changsun by his side!
Li Shimin closed his eyes dejectedly, covering the deep self-blame and regret in his eyes with his eyelids!
I blame myself for not allowing Queen Changsun to be pregnant even when she is so weak!
I regret that I should not have been able to live in the body of Queen Changsun and let her carry the child until now.
Watching the basins of bloody water being brought out, and the basins of clear warm water being brought in, the voices of the delivery aunts and midwives were heard inside, as well as Sun Yunniang, who had difficulty with her legs and feet inside, and the imperial doctors outside reporting to Queen Changsun.
There were vague sounds of changes in implementation, and the hum of the imperial doctors discussing in low voices.
Li Chengqian's eyes were constantly looking in the direction of the inner hall, his white lips were moving up and down, his body was sitting stiffly on the chair, and his hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the chair.
Next to him, Changsun Wuji was no better than him. He was also staring in the direction of the inner hall, standing motionless like a sculpture. However, as time went on, his face became more and more ugly.
, the fingers under the sleeves were shaking more and more violently.
Crown Princess Wu Meiniang looked at Li Chengqian distressedly and kept rubbing his shoulders back and forth, trying to make him relax. She was always paying attention to the situation in the inner hall, and she did not forget to have the red date and japonica rice porridge prepared in advance.
Use it in case of personal evil.
It lasted until dawn when the midwife’s relieved voice came and announced, “The baby is born!”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then someone reacted and shouted, "Why didn't the child cry? How is the Queen?"
Everyone's hearts were lifted again.
"The Queen has fallen asleep due to excessive exertion!" someone replied.
At the same time, there was a series of slaps, and after a long time, there was a weak cry like a cat.
The medicine boy over there had already steady his hands and hurriedly brought in the prepared decoction. Before he could bring it into the inner hall, someone screamed, "It's not good! The Queen is bleeding!"
Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji had just relaxed and leaned on their chairs. When they heard this cry, they all jumped up from their chairs!
Changsun Wuji and Li Chengqian had some scruples, so naturally they didn't dare to rush to the inner hall. They could only run back and forth in a hurry.
Seeing Li Chengqian's worried look, Wu Meiniang gritted her teeth and followed Li Shimin into the inner hall to check on Empress Changsun.
As soon as he saw Li Shimin rushing in, he looked towards the curtain that separated Empress Changsun, and opened his mouth to threaten the imperial doctors.
Fang Yiai, who had been on tenterhooks all night, was extremely anxious when she heard that Queen Changsun had postpartum hemorrhage. Fang Yiai, who was almost red-eyed, didn't care that she was in the Tang Dynasty and not in the hospital. She rushed to yell before Li Shimin could speak.
He came out, "If you don't want to delay rescuing people, get out immediately! Don't block the way! Don't affect our rescue!"
With that said, Fang Yiai poured a pack of hemostatic powder into the medicine bowl brought by the medicine boy, took the medicine bowl and mixed it well, then handed it to a medical woman who came out from the side and said, "Still standing still.
Well! It’s about to be brought in, so feed it quickly!”
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the soup from the medicine pot No. 3! Let someone boil some panax notoginseng water! Then heat up the large salt prepared in advance, crush it and bring it!" said the stunned medical woman.
After roaring in, Fang Yiai turned around and shouted at the dumbfounded medicine boy.
Regardless of Li Shimin's expression, Fang Yiai just wants to save the life of Empress Changsun as much as possible!
As long as Empress Changsun's life is saved, there will be much fewer obstacles for Li Chengqian to ascend to the throne in the future.
Seeing Fang Yiai leading a group of imperial doctors to urgently discuss giving Empress Changsun an injection to see if they could stop the bleeding first and stabilize Empress Changsun's vitality. Li Shimin felt a glimmer of hope in his heart for no reason, and also
He didn't care that Fang Yiai was disrespectful to him just now, but took the child from the arms of the palace maid who carefully carried the child out, glanced at the busy imperial doctor, turned around, hugged the child, and left the inner palace.
