48. Princess
It wasn't until this time that I felt the stretcher limp, and several people lifted me up again, the warm light on my face and the wind in my ears were gone, replaced by a cold, I opened my eyes slightly, and finally saw the familiar hall, the familiar furnishings, the familiar first screen is the pattern of the nine phoenixes and the rising sun, and the fiery red colors when I first moved in, all of which were blurred in my eyes, diffused into a bloody breath and slowly penetrated into my nose.
Finally, I felt that my body was in a soft place, but I couldn't open my eyes anymore, so I guess I was on the bed. Yes, this is a familiar smell, I don't like incense, but the ambergris on the bedside is something that Zhu Di must light every time he comes, and over time, I also love it.
It's my own bed. I said to myself in my heart.
I was thinking about taking a good rest and sleeping for a while regardless of anything, but suddenly I heard a voice ringing in my ears, "Niangniang, Niangniang!" You can't sleep, the little prince is going to come out this time, you have to work hard to live! ”
As soon as I heard this, I immediately came to my senses, but my brain was clear, but my body didn't listen to the call, and I couldn't open my eyes. ”
"The powerful concubine has half a point and three long and two short, I want all of your heads!" Zhu Di's voice was full of anger, and he trembled with three points, and ...... No one else could hear it, and I knew it was scared, and he was scared.
I really want to open my eyes and tell him not to frown, not to be so fierce to people, not to be afraid, I am fine...... But I didn't have the strength to open my eyes. Just as I was hesitating, Zhu Di's voice sounded directly next to my eardrums, "Ah Yi, open your eyes, open your eyes and look at me." Ah Yi, now is not the time to sleep, the child is coming out, you have to work hard as a mother, haven't you been looking forward to the child coming out to meet you? It's almost time for mother and son to meet, how can you sleep? Ah Yi ......"
"Your Majesty, Niangniang fell so much that she was bleeding profusely, and now the dragon fetus is very dangerous, if there is any danger, Your Majesty, you see...... Is it to protect the adults or the children? The Imperial Doctor's voice sounded again, and it was clear that he had asked this with his head up.
Zhu Di's teeth were about to bite out of the voice, and he said after a long time, "No matter what, you have to keep the concubine." As he spoke, he said coldly, "Queen, why did the powerful concubine fall in your palace?" ”
Soon, there were a series of kneeling sounds, followed by Xu Yunhua's crying voice, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine has made a mistake, and everyone is present to see it." Everyone enjoyed the plum together, and the powerful concubine was playful, so she squeezed into the crowd, but she didn't expect to fall down, no one knew what it looked like, and she could only tell it clearly when she woke up. ”
Zhu Di often exhaled, as if he could hold back his infinite anger, and finally lowered his voice and said, "Imperial Doctor, if the noble concubine is not cured, the entire imperial hospital will be buried with her, and the queen will record all the people who appreciate the plum blossoms today and send them to me. Get out of here. ”
The whole room was silent, no one dared to speak, and finally only the hairpin ring sounded, and they all went out. Zhu Di kept holding my hand by the bedside, not wanting to leave a single step. Finally, a slightly old woman's voice came, "Your Majesty, please let me, we have to use ginseng to give the noble concubine a sigh, if she doesn't wake up, it will be difficult to protect her size." ”
Zhu Di had regained his composure at this time, and he stood up and prepared to let go of my hand. But I was afraid that I would never be able to hold his hand again, so I used all my strength to squeeze his hand and refused to let go.
Zhu Di paused, immediately squatted down, and exclaimed, "Ah Yi, can you hear me?" Can you hear me? Are you pinching me?! I had to squeeze it harder, Zhu Di was almost about to cry with joy, and turned around and said incoherently, "Quick, quick!" The powerful concubine is conscious! I'm not going anywhere, I'm here to accompany her, you take medicine quickly, let her wake up first. ”
When the Imperial Physician and Wen Po heard this, they all lifted their spirits, and someone pried open my teeth with a spoon, first poured me some bitter medicinal juice, and then stuffed a piece of century-old ginseng under my tongue. Although the medicine is bitter, but through the throat and esophagus, it will be slowly digested in the abdomen, penetrating into the blood, I also gradually feel that the body is warmer, the ginseng in the mouth is even more sweet and refreshing, my brain is also a little bit from chaos to clear, plus Zhu Di has been whispering this in my ear, calling my name, I finally opened my eyes, as soon as I saw Zhu Di's close face, I couldn't help but keep crying, thousands of words are blocked in my throat, but I don't know how to say that sentence.
Zhu Di's eyes also turned red instantly, both crystal and bloodshot, he patted my chest, "Don't talk, listen to Wen Po's words, and use all your strength in production." I'm always with you, no matter what, I'm always with you. ”
Wen Po's face looked much more comfortable and loving than those concubines who were greased and powdered in Kunning Palace, and she also came to me and said gently, "Niangniang, the little prince is already ready to move, just wait for Niangniang to work together to help him out of his mother's body, Niangniang's good life, the slave maid first congratulates Niangniang on her happy son, okay?" Come, slave maid to your aid. ”
She said a few gentle and soft words, which made me feel confident, so I blinked her eyes to show cooperation, she smiled at me, and said to Zhu Di, "Your Majesty, you let me, the concubine is exhausted, and the slave needs to help her." ”
Zhu Di finally had to get out of the way of me. Wen Po walked up to me, put her hands on my abdomen, rubbed it professionally, and then said, "Niangniang, the slave is going to work hard, you bear with it." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I gritted my teeth and pushed my stomach from top to bottom, and I only felt the pain in my heart, as if my entire stomach and waist had been broken with a knife, and I screamed heartbreakingly.
Zhu Di hurriedly said, "She's okay, right?!" ”
Wen Po replied, "Your Majesty, it's useless for you to feel distressed at this time, there is no woman who gives birth to a child who doesn't break through the ghost gate." As he spoke, he pushed from top to bottom on my stomach, I bit my lip and didn't want to make any more sounds, and slowly a salty smell entered my mouth, it turned out that my lips were bitten, Zhu Di reached out and handed the account to my mouth, and said in a trembling voice, "If you can't help it, shout out." ”
I glanced at him, my face was sweating and tears, and I didn't have time to answer him, and the pain in my abdomen came back to me.
"Ah!!h I finally couldn't help but cry out.
"The fetal position is not correct, the mother was born half a month prematurely, and it is a difficult birth, which is ...... It's too dangerous, there is too much bleeding, and it's hard for adults and children to be safeguarded. Seeing that I couldn't give birth, Wen Po said in embarrassment.
Zhu Di's face also had a numb expression, and he said in a voice that was almost desperate, "Protect the adult, no matter what, you must protect the adult." ”
"The slave will do her best." Wen Po replied, and walked up to me again, constantly watching the movement for me.
There were also two doctors on standby in the delivery room, and they made medicines to stop bleeding and improve qi during the time when Wenpo was in midwifery, and kept feeding them to me.
But I felt almost nothing but pain, and I couldn't think of anything else at this time, I just wanted to close my eyes and put these pains and exhaustions aside, but they were like maggots on tarsal bones, lingering. I bit Zhu Di's tiger's mouth, and there was a trembling sound from the root of my teeth, Zhu Di didn't move, let me bite hard, almost biting his flesh and skin.
At this time, I am so helpless, and he is so helpless. No one could help me, he hated himself for not being able to help me, and I couldn't bear to see me like this anymore, so I closed my eyes.
"Niangniang, use your strength again, the slave and maid have already seen the prince's head, you just need to send him out a little more, and the slave and maid can help you." As she spoke, she gave me another hard push on the stomach.
"Ah~~~~" My voice has become miserable, and there is a burst of falling strength in my abdomen, I suddenly thought, they all say that mother and son are connected, I am so painful, the child must be in pain too, right? I, an adult, can't bear this kind of pain, how can his delicate body, a body that has never been corroded by the slightest bit of turbidity in the world, endure this kind of pain? Is he crying, is he struggling? Did he feel helpless too? Or does he trust me as a mother with all his heart and trust me to bring him into this wonderful world?
In order to come to this world and see the blue sky and white clouds, he chose me to be his mother, and now he is waiting for me to work hard with him, but I don't even have the ability to wait for him to come out. Thinking of this, my heart is like a knife, and I can't help but do my best, even if I don't want this life, I must let him come out alive.
I clenched my fists, and when Wen Po pushed again, I didn't say a word, but with her strength, I suddenly felt a slippery lower body, and a strong force slipped out, Wen Po walked down, reached out and pulled out a slippery thing, cut the umbilical cord, handed it to me, and said happily, "Niangniang, it's a princess." ”
My tears welled up all of a sudden, blurring my vision, looking at the pink and messy mass of flesh, the indescribable emotion was indescribable, and I didn't know how to face this life.
Zhu Di was also stunned, and Wen Po hurriedly took a piece of underwear that she asked for from Zhu Di in advance to wrap the baby, and then handed it to Zhu Di, and said with a smile, "Wrapped in father's clothes, the child will be very courageous in the future." ”
Zhu Di put the child to his lips and kissed it a little clumsily, and then sent it to me, "Ah Yi, this is our child, the princess of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Wen Po smiled on the side, "The emperor should give the princess a name quickly." ”
Zhu Di asked me in a low voice, "Come on." ”
I smiled and tried to tell him that I had no strength left, but I didn't say anything and I was so sleepy that I closed my eyes and fell into the bottomless abyss of darkness. <
