Thinking about this year, she had a very smooth life, she didn't have to go out to socialize, and she didn't have to entertain others, and even Xiao Yue followed her in the palace, and she didn't go out for a walk until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Except for Emperor Yongping summoned once.

Emperor Yongping summoned him on the tenth day of the first month, and he sent his father-in-law Yu to the palace of the Jin Dynasty to pass Xiao Yue into the palace.

Emperor Yongping met Xiao Yue in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

Xiao Yue stood in the hall, looking around, with some mixed feelings in his heart.

This is the place where he spent the most time in the palace as a child, and he still remembers being held on the lap of Emperor Yongping to learn to write when he was a child, and sometimes he didn't want to study, so he made ink everywhere.

Those pure and beautiful childhood years, I don't know when they have faded with the wind, and now standing in this same place, I feel strange.

Emperor Yongping summoned him in to inquire about Gu Nian's production, as well as the news that he found out about the people behind the Ji family, and wanted to communicate with Xiao Yue.

He took the dossier, and when he saw Xiao Yue stunned there, he also fell silent.

Since he confessed his identity, he felt as if the years that father and son had passed had been stolen by someone.

His son no longer has the same intimacy for himself as before.

It seems that only the king and the minister are left.

"I heard that your daughter-in-law is about to give birth."

During this time, the atmosphere between the two was tense, and they had not spoken like this for a long time, and Emperor Yongping even felt that it was a little unnatural, and his voice sounded a little wooden.

Xiao Yue looked at him and said, "Back to Your Majesty's words, it's almost over." ”

Such an unfamiliarity was not even given a specific date.

Emperor Yongping twitched in his heart, but he held back the discomfort, lowered his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly took out a piece of paper from the drawer next to the imperial case.

"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but if it's a boy, I gave him a name, 'Chen', and the milk name is Rui Ge'er.

If it's a girl, it's called 'Arashi', what do you think? ”

The emperor of this country is apprehensive at the moment, and in front of this only son, even his words are flattering.

Xiao Yue looked at the words on the paper and didn't raise his eyes, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.

"Thank you Your Majesty for the word, but Nian Nian and I have already discussed the name." Xiao Yue slowly opened his lips, and his tone was most likely steady.

Emperor Yongping looked at Xiao Yue, who bowed his head in gratitude, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

Xiao Yue came out of the Heart Cultivation Hall and went back to the house directly.

Gu Nian saw that although he seemed to be as usual, he could see a sad look on his face, although this look was distressing, but it was a little less indifferent than before.

She sat beside him, sighing in her heart, he had a soft heart after all.

Even if Emperor Yongping deceived him for so many years, when facing Emperor Yongping, he still couldn't be cold.

She stepped forward to hug him, put her head on his shoulder, imagining what kind of way the soon-to-be-born child would get along with Xiao Yue in the future?

Out of the first month, after February, in March of the Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet, Gu Nian moved.

On this day, sleeping until midnight, Gu Nian was suddenly awakened by fetal movements, and his belly tightened for a while, and then released again.

She had experience in childbirth before, as well as Mama Qin, and the midwife sent by the eldest princess of the country had told her about some signs before labor, and these days, she is always paying attention.

So, as soon as such a tense feeling came, she immediately had a premonition that that the moment was coming.

But she wanted to calm down, and didn't wake up Xiao Yue, but felt it herself, and felt that the interval between her belly tightness was getting shorter and shorter, and then she pushed Xiao Yue, "Ah Yue, I'm about to give birth." ”

Xiao Yue was awakened, a carp bounced up from the bed, and his voice instantly became sober, "Are you going to give birth?" Are you sure? ”

He knelt beside her, reached out to pick her up, and in a panic put his hand on her stomach, and then raised his voice again,

"Come on! Radix astragali? Aoba? Pass Zhang Chunzi over! Pass on the Imperial Doctor! ”

Gu Nian didn't have a trace of panic, and seeing Xiao Yue's incoherent appearance, he said with a smile, "You don't need to be so nervous, it will take several hours." ”

Before giving birth, as the child in her womb grew up day by day, Gu Nian sometimes wondered if the child would be a boy or a girl.

She longs for Mr. Neng to have a son who is the same as Xiao Yue. She hopes that this child can be like his father, like a little green pine, no matter what kind of wind and rain it encounters, it can thrive.

She also knew that when she gave birth to a delicate daughter to Xiao Yue in the future, her brother would definitely be a good brother, helping her parents together, loving and protecting her sister.

There are a lot of hopes and longings, and of course there will be tension, but at this moment, when the labor pains come, when the melons are ripe, the tension that lingered in my heart before has disappeared.

Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's her and his blood.

When Xiao Yue heard that there were still several hours, he suddenly became anxious, "How can I not be nervous?" How can I not be nervous? ”

He withdrew the hand from her belly, jumped out of bed, and walked around the bed twice, his steps flustered.

Although it was already March, the weather was still cold at night, and he walked around the ground twice in his single clothes, and when he saw that no one had come in, he rushed to the door and wanted to call someone.

His door opened, and Mama Qin, as well as Mama Yu, the midwife sent by the eldest princess, and Astragalus all rushed in.

Under the light, Xiao Yue's face turned pale, which startled the two grandmothers, and hurriedly rushed to the bed, seeing Gu Nian lying on the bed, everyone was relieved.

The two grandmothers were both people who had passed through things, and their hearts were relieved, so they ordered the preparation of water, the preparation of water, the preparation of water, the use of handkerchiefs, and the transmission of Zhang Chunzi.

Although it was the middle of the night, after Xiao Yue's loud roar before, everyone in Suiyuan Hall knew that the princess was about to give birth, and then it spread layer by layer, and the whole mansion knew about it.

For a while, the entire palace moved, Zhang Changshi lived in the outer courtyard, he got up and dressed, went to Suiyuan Hall, and saw that Xiao Yue was only wearing a single coat and stood there at a loss.

He hurriedly asked people to bring Xiao Yue's clothes and waited for him to put them on, and then ordered Dark One to take people with swords to guard around Suiyuan Hall.

At the same time, he also ordered people to go to the Su Wang's Mansion and wait for the news to be delivered in the palace.

Xiao Yue got dressed mechanically with the help of Zhang Changshi, and when he arrived at the bedside, he saw the two grandmothers surrounding Gu Nian, telling her about childbirth, and helping her massage her hands and feet.

His nervous hands and feet trembled, and he stepped forward to ask Gu Nian if he wanted to drink water, and when he saw Gu Nian biting his lip, he didn't say a word, and he asked Gu Nian with sweat on his face if it hurt.

This appearance is no different from that of someone who wants to be a father in the world.

Mama Qin saw that Xiao Yue's face was sweating, so she said, "Lord, please take the princess to the delivery room over there." ”

When Xiao Yue heard this, he felt that he finally had his own use.

He hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Gu Nian and went to the delivery room that had been prepared before.

After putting it down, Mama Qin said again, "Lord Wang, you don't need you here, you better go to the side." ”

Xiao Yue refused to move, he looked at Gu Nian and said, "I'll be by the side, don't do anything, don't drive me out." ”

Gu Nian's pain is getting denser and denser at the moment, and the sweat hurts out, but his consciousness is still very clear.

Thinking of the appearance when she gave birth, she must not be very good-looking, like a frog with a big belly lying on the delivery bed, she didn't want Xiao Yue to see this.

So she gasped and said, "Ah Yue, you go out, I'm fine, you go outside and see if anyone has sent a message to your father and grandmother." In the palace, do you want to send a message? ”

It's just that she thinks she looks normal, but she doesn't know how pitiful she looks in the eyes of others, her pale face, her face full of night sweats, and still barely comforting people.

A woman's childbirth is like passing through a ghost gate, and she naturally needs her relatives by her side.

When Xiao Yue heard this, he immediately turned around and went outside to ask about the situation.

The courtyard was soon full of people, and Gu Shi'an received the news and galloped over.

When he came, Gu Nian in the delivery room was still silent, and there was no pain like the other women.

Xiao Yue was blocked from the door and couldn't enter, his hands and feet were already cold, even though he had been preparing for so many months, but at this moment, he still couldn't help but worry.

He already had the urge to rush in, holding Gu Nian's hand tightly and giving her some strength.

"Relax." Gu Shi'an didn't know where to take a pot of wine and handed it to him, and he still had a pot in his hand and drank it to his mouth.

Xiao Yue took the wine jug and took a sip of it, and the strength of the wine was stabbed, and the panic really went down.

When the sky was about to dawn, the eldest princess of the protector also arrived under the escort of Zhou Yuxuan.

At this time, Gu Nian in the delivery room was still silent, and it was precisely because of the silence that Xiao Yue was even more tense like a stone, motionless.

Gu Nian in the delivery room, biting the cork tightly in her mouth, endured the pain that seemed to be gradually becoming numb, but it was clear that she was about to cut the flesh inch by inch, she closed her eyes, exerted her strength in Mama Yu's command, and worked hard again, wanting to send the child in her belly to the world.

The labor pains began in the middle of the night, if the light was bright today, Gu Nian said that it would take several hours, but now that several hours have passed, why hasn't there been production yet?

Xiao Yue stiffened outside, and finally couldn't help but say, "How long will it take?" ”

So silent, why didn't she shout?

This made him even more bottomless.

The eldest princess of the protector was guarding the door and glared at Xiao Yue, "How can you give birth to a child so quickly, you are so staying, don't affect your thoughts." ”

She held the Buddha beads in her hand, and kept chanting the Buddha's words in her mouth, praying for the Buddhas in the sky to bless the mother and child for safety.

Gu Shi'an walked back and forth at the door anxiously, constantly pouring spirits into his mouth.

The sky was bright, in an instant, and it was dark again, Gu Nian still failed to give birth, and even Zhang Chunzi, who was waiting outside, frowned.

Xiao Yue and the others also waited outside the door for a day.

After a day of waiting, the hearts of the people outside were raised, and when they were about to endure it anymore, they finally heard Mama Yu inside say that the uterine cavity was finally opened, but it was not enough to give birth to the child.

The cork in Gu Nian's mouth had been bitten out by her two deep tooth marks, and the pain of a day and night made her no longer have much strength, and the whole person was like being fished out of water, let alone eating, and even swallowing ginseng soup felt difficult.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yue finally heard Gu Nian's first painful cry, "Ah Yue......"

He stood there stiffly with his hands and feet, no amount of liquor could warm up, this night, a day of waiting, this was the longest and most torturous day and night that Xiao Yue had never experienced in his life.

He was once the 'living king of Hades' that everyone feared, and he once enjoyed the supreme favor of the emperor, but he was also belittled and reduced to a guard guarding the granary.

In Phoenix, he later became a good vassal king praised by everyone.

But no one knows the fragility of his heart, the longing he once had, and the experience of devouring his heart.

Life is not what he wants, and death is not involved.

It was the woman inside, many years ago, a small lump, shrunk in his arms, so dependent on him.

It was the woman inside who was not afraid of his slaughter and brought him back to the capital.

It was she who made his life interesting.

Pots of blood and water came out of the room, and Xiao Yue's face turned pale and dizzy.

Dense beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his hand holding the wine jug was trembling slightly with the green tendons bulging on the back of his hand.

Gu Shi'an was able to use wine to calm down at first, but after this difficult day, he was also colorless, he kept pacing, while paying attention to the situation in the inner room, his mood fluctuated.

He thought that many years ago, the county lord of Jingning was also in difficult childbirth.

When he saw the blood coming out, he asked in horror, "What's wrong?" Why so much blood? ”

He couldn't help but whisper in his heart, "Jing Ning, I hope you are in the spirit of heaven and bless our daughter, mother and son safely." ”

Mama Qin was guarding the door, and when she heard Gu Shi'an's roaring question, she reluctantly said, "Lord Wang, don't worry, it's nothing." ”

Gu Shi'an suddenly became even more angry, "My thoughts don't know what's going on inside, but I can't go in, I ......"

Mama Qin said, "Lord Wang, men can't enter the delivery room. It's unlucky to come in. ”

"Then why the hell did he get in?"

"Lord Wang, he is a doctor, so he can naturally go in."

The eldest princess of the protector had already stopped at the door, and took Zhang Chunzi into the delivery room and stayed by Gu Nian's side.

She sat on the edge of the delivery bed, wiped the sweat beads on Gu Nian's forehead with a handkerchief, and kept encouraging Gu Nian in her mouth, "Nian Nian, don't be afraid, grandmother is by your side." ”

Xiao Yue, who was outside the door, couldn't bear it anymore after thinking about that call, pushed open the door, ran towards the woman on the bed, and flew over.

"Niannian! Miss! I'm here! ”

He fell to his knees and clutched the cold, sweaty hand to his lips, trying to warm it with his own body heat.

When he came in, he saw his Nian Nian lying on the bed with his eyes closed and lying there weakly, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

He only felt that his mind was 'buzzing', and it was blank.

If this world is without her, what is the point of his life?

After a day and night of pain, she had no strength in her body at the moment, and she was almost collapsed.

At this moment, she only insisted on the idea of giving birth to a child with the firmness in her heart.

She didn't have the strength to open her eyes, but she could feel the strength of the hand holding her, and she could hear his call.

She can't let him down, she has walked so many lives to cultivate such luck and marry such a man.

She couldn't let their child down, she had been so eager for his birth.

She and he were waiting for him.

Xiao Yue clutched those hands tightly, in this world, no one can let him love like this, make him love distorted and crazy.

Xiao Yue just kept kissing the cold hand in his hand, and kept muttering Gu Nian's name in his mouth.

Later, he said fiercely, "We don't give birth anymore, we don't want to give birth again." ”

Gu Nian reluctantly pulled his lower lip, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to follow Mama Yu's command and exert his strength again.

"The head is out...... The head came out...... Princess, push harder, one last time, we will ...... hard one last time"

Mama Yu shouted in surprise.

Gu Nian's body trembled slightly uncontrollably, and his cold hand grabbed the man's big hand tightly in turn, and intertwined his five fingers tightly.

The child in the womb seems to feel this power and work hard with her.

She worked hard, using all her strength, little by little, with the child in her belly, to help him come into the world.

This process is too long, but it is full of hope.

Xiao Yue looked at her like a lost soul, stared at her face, knelt in front of the bed, and let her hold her hand tightly,

Tears fell one by one on their intertwined hands.

"It's out, it's out. He's a big fat boy. Mama Yu said in surprise, cut off the umbilical cord with her hands and feet, carefully took the little red child out, and then patted the child's buttocks.

The baby's earth-shattering cry finally broke the silence of the day and night.

With a loud baby cry, Gu Nian felt that the pain that had tormented her for a long time finally left her, and the whole person was also empty.

She wanted to open her eyes and see what her newborn child looked like, and she wanted to see Xiao Yue's face even more, but she didn't have any strength.

The hand she intertwined with the man, because of the lack of strength, slowly softened, and her consciousness gradually drifted.

She heard a lot of voices, and she wanted to respond, but she couldn't open her eyes, just tugging at her lips and revealing a gentle smile.

She wanted Xiao Yue to see her smile, she wanted to tell him that she was fine, she was just a little tired, she just wanted to sleep.

The eldest princess looked at the hands of the young couple and showed a very complicated look on her face, seeing that the child had been born, but the man was still maintaining his previous posture like a piece of wood, and couldn't help but shake his head.

In this life, she has seen many people and gone through many things.

Even if she and Lao An were Qin Se and Ming, husband and wife, he didn't rush into the delivery room like Xiao Yue, and then nested there without leaving, not afraid of being hit by blood.

Looking at his silent sadness and despair, she was inexplicably sad and inexplicably relieved.

There are thousands of husbands and wives in the world, and there is no more naked than what he expressed.

Everyone said how cruel King Jin was, except for the emperor and the crown prince, other royal people didn't pay attention to it, but who would have thought that he would do such a situation for a woman.

Mama Yu cleaned the child, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and carefully handed it to the eldest princess.

The princess looked at the baby with excitement on her face, a small lump, revealing only a small face that was sleeping soundly.

Outside, Gu Shi'an heard the baby's cry, and shouted inside by the door frame, "Mother-in-law, how is Niannian?" Why didn't she have a voice? ”

The eldest princess of the protector handed over the swaddling clothes to Mama Qin, asked her to carry them out first, and then asked Zhang Chunzi to take Gu Nian's pulse.

She walked over and patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, "Yue'er, you haven't rested all night and day, go and rest first, Nian Nian also needs to sleep before waking up." ”

Xiao Yue didn't move, nor did he look back, he just held Gu Nian's hand, and when the eldest princess of the protector wanted to persuade him again, he said in a hoarse voice, "Grandmother, you and your father-in-law are also tired, you go to rest first, and I will accompany Nian Nian here." ”

Seeing that he couldn't move, the eldest princess didn't persuade him anymore, and asked Zhang Chunzi about Gu Nian's situation, knowing that she was just in a postpartum prostration, and there was nothing serious, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Before she left the delivery room, she instructed the maids to take care of them carefully, and said to Xiao Yue, "Then I'll go and rest first, if you are tired, go and rest, otherwise Nian Nian will wake up angry." ”

Gu Nian is very virtuous and gentle to the outside, but sometimes he is very fierce in private, for example, sometimes he can't help but want to move his hands and feet, and she will slap his hand away.

Sometimes I play too much, and I will ignore him.

Now, though, he can't do that much. He just wanted to guard Gu Nian's side.

Outside, Gu Shi'an carefully held the child, his face full of joy, and slowly moved around the room.

When he saw the eldest princess of the protector come out, he hurriedly stepped forward with the child in his arms and said ostentatiously, "Mother-in-law, does this child look like Niannian?"

You look at his eyebrows, nose, mouth, face shape...... It's all the same as Niannian. ”

The eldest princess looked at Gu Shi'an, who was usually steady, and at the moment she looked like a child, she looked at it, although the child had just been born, her facial features had not grown, and she couldn't tell who she looked like.

However, she also felt that the more she looked at it, the more similar the child became.

She paused and said, "Give the child to the nurse first, and when he wakes up, he will have to drink milk, but he can't starve him." ”

Although Gu Shi'an was very reluctant to hand over the child to the nurse, he couldn't starve his little good grandson.

So, cautiously, reluctantly handed over the child to the nurse standing next to her, and told her to take a good look at the child.

After he finished ordering, he saw that the face of the eldest princess was full of exhaustion, she was so old that she had also boiled oil for a day, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her hand, "You are also tired, hurry up and rest." ”

Inside and outside the house, it was quiet, and the people who were cleaning up in the house, for fear of disturbing the people who were resting on the bed, were light-handed, and after quickly cleaning up, they retreated.

The prince's face is really terrifying.

Xiao Yue lay in front of the bed, put his hand into the futon, held Gu Nian's hand that was still a little cold, and looked at her stupidly, without blinking his eyes.

He hated himself for subjecting her to such a sin, and hated that he could not replace it with his body.

He had never panicked before, "Nian Nian." ”

He was face to face with her, and his voice was soft, "You must be good, if you are gone, many things don't need to exist......"

Gu Nian was shrouded in overwhelming black sweetness, she wanted to have a long sleep, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't sleep anymore, Xiao Yue would look for her.

And their children.

It's just that when she wanted to go to Xiao Yue, she suddenly found that she couldn't find her way home, and she seemed to have returned to what she had experienced in previous lives.

Drifting, not knowing where to go, cold everywhere, empty, pitch black.

She was terrified, as if she was going through the same despair and dying fear she had ever experienced.

Just when she was about to lose her support, a light appeared in front of her, and she saw a young man in gray, from the depths of the darkness, with light, as if stepping on a colorful auspicious cloud, walking towards her.

He was well-dressed, unparalleled in the wind, and with a gentle face, he walked up to her, "The child is waiting for you, it's time to go home." ”

She held those hands tightly, as she remembered, intertwined with his fingers, held her head high, looked at his sideways, and followed him.

*

Everyone thought that Gu Nian would only be unconscious after giving birth, but two days have passed, and Gu Nian has not woken up, three days, five days, and on the seventh day, he has not woken up.

Zhang Chunzi has been staying by the bedside, applying needles, decoctions, and all the methods that can be used, but he still hasn't woken up.

Her pulse has always been very peaceful, and there is no disorder, which makes Zhang Chunzi unable to explain it.

Xiao Yue grabbed Zhang Chunzi's collar with a haggard face, and roared, "Aren't you a miracle doctor?" Aren't you omnipotent? Why hasn't Nian Nian woken up yet? ”

Zhang Chunzi brushed his hand away from the collar and said, "She is in good health, she has recovered a long time ago, logically speaking, it will not be like this at all, let the old man say, did you do too many hurtful things to repay her?" ”

Xiao Yue sneered, "So many people in the world have done so many hurtful things, and I don't see what they have, why do my thoughts suffer so much?" ”

He slammed his hand on the table, and it cracked, and red blood came out, as if he hadn't seen it.

When Gu Shi'an came in, what he saw was a mess, he walked straight to Xiao Yue's side and said, "Something happened in the palace." ”

Xiao Yue raised his scarlet eyes, grinded his back molars, and said coldly, "Something happened in the palace about me." ”

"The crown prince and the emperor were both besieged in the Yangxin Palace, and the five princes broke in with people, and the prince was stabbed in order to protect the emperor......"
