Chapter 73 Another storm
Hearing Tong Nuanyan say this, Xia Xi was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He could only turn his gaze to Hong Zhao who was practicing walking, and said no more.
Tong Nuanyan, who was sitting at the head, was a little absent-minded. If something happened to Yinzhen, how would she bear children in the future? Moreover, now that she was married into the royal family, it would be difficult to explain it openly if she found someone to bear children.
For a moment, she was in a dilemma. She gritted her teeth and contacted 805 in her mind again.
"805, send a bionic man to Yinzhen's side. Do not show up unless there is deadly danger."
After hearing the order, 805 was silent for a moment, and then he worked tirelessly to give orders to the androids on the farm, and then asked: [Host, if the androids are exposed, we will not be able to hide it. ]
Tong Nuanyan closed her eyes and said dully, "No, just let the bionic people pay more attention. My current identity is just the concubine of the fourth prince, and I don't have any powerful power. The things sold in the manor are women's products. No matter what, they can't suspect me. If nothing works, just throw them to Su Peisheng and the guards after rescuing them."
[Okay, host, I promise there won't be any accidents! ]
805 said confidently, and the babyish voice entered Tong Nuanyan's mind, making the bored Tong Nuanyan feel much more relaxed. She smiled, her autumn eyes were like water, and she said lazily: "You, whether in the end of the world or here, I have no worries."
The data of 805 was confused for a while. If Tong Nuanyan could enter the interstellar mall, she would be able to see an electric current jumping violently and faintly showing the arc of fans.
Tong Nuanyan didn't really care about its silence, she was already used to it, so she stood up and called Yun Xin to help her go out for a walk.
A few days later.
The eighth day of the fifth month in the fortieth year of the Kangxi reign.
Many people celebrate birthdays in May. Because Yinzhen was on a mission and Tong Nuanyan was pregnant with twins, only the Fourth Lady and Honghui went to the prince's birthday. No one knew what happened. When she came back, the Fourth Lady had a gloomy face, and her eyes when she looked at Tong Nuanyan were particularly resentful, as if she wanted to eat her alive.
Tong Nuanyan's own birthday was only held in Piaoxue Courtyard. Other people in the backyard sent some symbolic gifts, which were all put in the warehouse by Qiuyuji. Who would dare to use the things sent by those people?
Inside the main house of Mingxueyuan.
Song Yurong was carrying a nine-month-old belly, and she looked like she had just been fished out of the water. She was soaked in sweat and her face was pale. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, she would have looked like a dead person.
Si Jing, the maidservant beside her, frequently wiped the sweat off her forehead and said worriedly, "Princess, what should we do? Should we ask Fu Jin to invite a doctor to come and take a look?"
Si Jing's anxious voice finally cheered up the person on the bed. He stretched out his skinny hand and tightly grasped Si Jing's hand, saying weakly: "Si Jing... don't go..."
Before she could continue, the bedding beneath her became wet; her amniotic fluid had broken.
When Si Jing saw this, she was shocked for a moment, but without thinking too much, she quickly ordered the remaining two maids to call the Fourth Lady and the Concubine to come and take the seat, while she turned around to comfort Princess Song on the bed.
"Princess, I'll go get the midwife and you'll be fine."
Then he wiped the sweat from Song Gege's forehead again, turned around and ran out to find a midwife. The Fourth Lady had already prepared a midwife when Song Gege was eight months pregnant, so she was not too panicked.
Snow is falling in the courtyard.
Tong Nuanyan felt a bit headache and helpless. Ever since she rejected Zhang Gege, Zhang came over every day these days. It would be ok to refuse her once or twice, but she couldn't refuse her every time. Look, the two of them were talking in the hall.
"Concubine, I don't ask for much, I just ask you to protect me when necessary."
After hearing this, Tong Nuanyan was silent for a long time. Just as she was about to speak, someone from Mingxueyuan came. They first glanced at Zhang Gege who was sitting below them, and then asked Wang Chengyun to let the person in to answer the call.
As soon as the maid came in, she knelt down and called out, "Concubine, Princess Song has launched an attack. Please go over and take your place."
When Tong Nuanyan heard it, she responded faintly, glanced at Xia Xi inconspicuously, and after noticing that Xia Xi blinked, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Girl Zhang, in that case, let's go together."
Zhang smiled, and her not-so-beautiful face suddenly became bright and cheerful. She stood up and walked out with Tong Nuanyan, and both of them only took the people around them with them.
When the two men and their men arrived at Mingxue Courtyard, there were already many people sitting in the yard, led by the Fourth Lady.
"I/I wish you the best of luck, my lady, and may you be blessed with good health and happiness forever!"
The Fourth Lady only took a glance and asked someone to get up. Tong Nuanyan sat on the chair that was brought over, and listening to the woman's muffled groans and cries of pain in the room, she asked, "Madam, why is Princess Song so sudden? Isn't she still pregnant?"
The Fourth Lady herself was puzzled. She had not taken any action, and the spy who had been watching Li said that there was nothing unusual. Song had suddenly given birth prematurely. She said carefully, "The imperial physician had said before that this month was the due date. Princess Song was weak, and I didn't expect it to happen so soon."
Tong Nuanyan frowned slightly and pretended to be worried, saying again: "Song Gege is weak, wouldn't it be dangerous to have a premature birth like this?"
The Fourth Lady had a gloomy face. Yinzhen was not at home. If something went wrong during Song's childbirth and she was blamed, she would be considered not to be managing the household well. Wouldn't her rights as housekeeper be gone?
Thinking of this, the Fourth Lady's face became even worse. She waved her hand and asked Qiu Li beside her to ask questions, and then said firmly: "Song Gege will definitely have a difficult time giving birth to this baby. Zhou Hetong, send someone to invite the imperial physician over."
The eunuch Zhou Hetong, who was standing nearby, heard what was said, bowed respectfully and went down, apparently to ask for the imperial physician.
The cries of pain in the house were getting louder and louder. The imperial physician who was invited went in early. The people in the yard waited from just after noon until the sun set, but Song Gege did not give birth. Everyone was tired and hot. The Fourth Lady and Tong Nuanyan, who had positions, were lucky enough.
The other princesses and concubines could not stand any longer. They had been standing for an entire afternoon and their backs and legs were already sore, but they could not complain. The Fourth Lady pondered for a moment and said, "Zhou Hetong, please take a seat. Princess Song is giving birth today, and the prince is not in the palace now. We must not panic."
Tong Nuanyan responded along with the others. At this moment, a maid in a blue Manchu dress rushed out from the inner room.
"Fujin, please save my princess, I beg you!"
As soon as she rushed out, she kowtowed to the Fourth Lady, crying and shouting as she kowtowed, which startled everyone. They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Tong Nuanyan spoke first: "How is Song Gege?"
The maid who kowtowed was Song's personal maid Si Jing. When she saw Tong Nuanyan speaking, she kowtowed to her again, and then replied: "To the concubine, my princess had a difficult delivery. The midwife said that the fetus is too big and cannot be delivered. She needs... an episiotomy!"
As soon as Sijing's words came out, everyone was shocked. They were all well-educated and naturally knew what episiotomy meant, but it was really difficult to deal with. Childbirth was dangerous, and episiotomy was even more dangerous.
Tong Nuanyan didn't know how to respond. She knew better than anyone why Song's fetus was too large, but she couldn't show it. She could only look at the Fourth Lady and wait for her to speak.
The Fourth Lady's heart was pounding, but she was also filled with joy. After the episiotomy, Princess Song was considered useless. Even if she recovered well, she would never be favored again.
"Since the midwife said so, then do an episiotomy!"
Si Jing couldn't believe it and shouted, "Fujin, you can't do an episiotomy!!"
