In front of the delivery room in the palace in Jincheng, Adou was walking back and forth anxiously.
Several times, if it weren't for the palace maid standing at the door, he would have almost rushed in.
The Queen's heart-rending shouts came from inside, like thousands of claws gripping his heart tightly.
The maids entered the delivery room carrying basins of hot water, and then came out carrying basins of cold water.
"It hurts……"
"Queen, try harder..."
Zhang Xingcai was sweating profusely. Her eyes could no longer see clearly. In her ears, there was only Wen Po's monotonous and repetitive voice, which made her keep exerting herself. It made her feel anxious and panicked.
The child in her belly has been struggling for almost a day and night, but still doesn't want to come out.
Zhang Xingcai knew that if it weren't for her martial arts skills and her strength being stronger than that of ordinary women, it would have been unimaginable.
My child, please come out quickly!
Grandma can hardly hold it any longer!
Zhang Xingcai gasped for air, took a deep breath, and tried his best...
This time it was still in vain. She felt that her belly was still so heavy, but the recovery speed of her body's strength was gradually slowing down.
She knew that when she could no longer gather her strength, it would be a matter of life and death.
"Heh...huh..."
Zhang Xingcai breathed heavily, and Po Wen quickly poured a bowl of warm soup and handed it to her mouth.
She took a numb sip.
"Queen, breathe in and out, push harder..."
Zhang Xingcai's tears finally flowed down. She opened her mouth wide and cried, "Mom... Your Majesty... help me..."
"Save our children..."
After being unable to give birth for so long, she knew that this time, she would really go to hell.
If she was alone, she could still think of a way, but she was carrying her first child, and she felt so scared...
"Queen, Queen..."
A Dou heard the queen's cry and was about to rush into the delivery room.
Unexpectedly, he was hugged by the palace maids, eunuchs, and medical teams who had been ordered to be at the door. "Your Majesty, you can't come in. You can't go in inside..."
"Get away, all of you, get away from me! What use do I need from you? What use do I need from you?"
"Your Majesty...save me..."
When Adou heard the Queen's shrill call inside, he became even more excited. He punched and kicked her as if she was crazy.
But as long as the palace maids, eunuchs, and doctors can prevent Adou from going in, they don't care about the pain.
"If anything happens to the queen, I will kill you, kill you!"
Adou couldn't get away, his eyes turned red and he cursed loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Lord of all peoples, why do you say such cruel words?"
I saw Huang Yueying quietly appearing in this chaotic situation.
There are no widows allowed near the delivery room, so neither Zhang Xiahou nor Empress Dowager Wu can appear here.
It would be okay to say that it was a safe and smooth delivery, but for something as dangerous as giving birth, you can never be too careful, so you still need someone who can control the situation in the delivery room.
Huang Yueying has no children. Logically speaking, it would be best if she didn't show up. But since she is not a widow, there are fewer taboos, so she has been hiding not far away.
As someone who has been through this, how could Zhang Xiahou not know that after such a long time, her daughter still cannot be born, and the odds are very high that she will be in danger.
At the moment, he didn't care anymore and pushed Huang Yueying out first.
"Madam, Queen, Queen, she..."
When A Dou saw Huang Yueying coming over, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw, but he couldn't say a complete sentence in his mouth.
"Your Majesty, please be patient for a moment and wait for me to go in and take a look."
"Thank you, madam, thank you, madam."
As the king of a country, Adou now turned his hands to Huang Yueying with a look of gratitude on his face.
"Your Majesty has betrayed my concubine, which is not the right thing to do."
Huang Yueying didn't dare to accept the gift, so she quickly dodged it. After returning the gift, she stepped into the delivery room.
As soon as she entered, before she could see clearly what was going on in the room, she first felt a strong smell of blood hitting her face.
The lights in the room were dim, she calmed down, and looked at the bed again, only to see that the queen's hair was soaked and stuck to the couch, not to mention that the bed beside her had been scratched with finger marks.
At this time, Zhang Xingcai's consciousness had begun to blur, and she could only be heard murmuring, "My child...my mother, please..."
Huang Yueying was shocked. She really didn't expect that the situation would be so bad.
This queen obviously lost her temper.
However, Huang Yueying had also seen big storms, so she immediately pulled Po Wen aside and lowered her voice, "How is the queen's situation? Please tell me honestly."
Wen Po trembled and knelt down, "Madam, I'm sorry, it's hard to tell the queen right now, but if she still can't give birth if she tries again, there's nothing I can do for you..."
Huang Yueying's heart sank!
Adou, who was waiting anxiously for news outside, saw a palace maid running out of the house quickly and disappearing. After a while, Empress Dowager Wu and Zhang Xiahou rushed over hand in hand.
"How come my mother and grandma are here?"
Adou's mind was all on the queen in the delivery room, and for a moment he didn't even think about the reason why these two people were here.
Empress Dowager Wu comforted Adou in a low voice, and then entered the delivery room with Zhang Xiahou.
After a while, Empress Dowager Wu came out with a heavy face.
"Mom, how's it going?"
Adou hurriedly greeted him.
"Your Majesty, Queen... the situation is not very good."
Empress Dowager Wu carefully planned her words, "If, if it comes to that step, will the emperor be bigger or smaller?"
"No, Cainiang will be fine!"
After hearing this, Adou felt as if he was struck by lightning. He staggered back a few steps, shook his head repeatedly, and refused to believe this.
I don't know if it was the last moment, or Zhang Xingcai had a flashback. At this time, her ears were particularly sensitive. After hearing Adou's words, she summoned up her last bit of strength.
"Mom... Your Majesty... protect the child, you must protect the child! Please, protect the child, protect my child."
"Yes, that's it. Only in this way can we guarantee our survival."
Feng Yong took a rake and broke up the soil clods on the ground, then gently buried the fine soil and sprinkled alfalfa seeds into the furrows.
"You must break up the soil clods, otherwise the soil clods will suppress the seeds and they will not grow."
"Also, after burying it, don't step on the place where the seeds were sprinkled. If the ground is firmly trampled, the seeds will not grow easily."
Although I haven’t done such farm work for twenty years, I am from the countryside and I can still do the basic operations.
It's a leader's demonstration. The emperor has to go to the fields every year. As the person responsible for planting grass... Bah, he is the main person responsible for planting alfalfa. If he doesn't put on a show, how can he show that he attaches great importance to this matter?
