When Wei Chuyun's letter was sent to Shen Tingnian across thousands of mountains and rivers, her stomach was already ridiculously big, and now she was struggling to move, and her appetite was not very good.

Because the emotions of pregnant women are very important, at first this letter was given to her in order to make her happy, after all, Pu Yangxu still remembered that he was friendly with Wei Chuyun when he was a classmate, and later took her to the north and lived in Beifeng City for a short time, the two played together all day, and Wei Chuyun hugged her and shed tears when he left.

But no one expected that Shen Tingnian began to cry when he saw half of the letter, and when he went to the back, he cried, and Brother Zhan, who was holding a paintbrush and painting, was so frightened that he also cried.

You must know that when he is two years old, he knows that crying is a child's behavior, and it is very humiliating.

Even if he bumped it, he secretly wiped his tears so that Shen Tingnian would not see it, and he would not let Xiao Youchun and them say it.

Pu Yangxu got the news from the Hanlin Bachelor of Jixian Academy, and rushed back in a hurry, and a duet came to him, one crying more and more ups and downs, without a sigh.

"What's going on......

He grabbed Brother Zhan with one hand and Shen Tingnian with the other, and smiled bitterly in the cracks: "What are you crying about?" ”

The big and small ancestors made a fuss together, and the people below were all blindfolded, Yuezhu and Xiao Youchun hurriedly explained together.

Yue Zhu said that Shen Tingnian suddenly cried emotionally when he read the letter.

Xiao Youchun said that Brother Zhan cried when he saw Shen Tingnian crying.

"Take the prince out first, give him a piece of candy to coax, and allow him to play in the water today, just half an hour......"

When Brother Zhan was carried out, Pu Yangxu waved away the others, carried Shen Tingnian back to the bed in the inner room, and asked cautiously several times: "Good year, good year, my little ancestor, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Tingnian sobbed and shook his head, refusing to let him go away, holding his neck and still couldn't stop crying.

Pu Yangxu, who really had no choice, had to call Ameng Ayun in, the two of them usually never showed up, and at this time, they handed over Wei Chuyun's letter without saying a word.

After reading the ten lines at a glance in a hurry, Pu Yangxu also gasped.

This turned out to be a letter sent by Wei Chuyun.

Because he had received news before, he knew that Wei Chuyun's old illness had recurred, so it was not completely unexpected...... It's just that at this moment, I was thinking of an excuse to coax Shen Tingnian.

"It must be that I called them back last time and provoked Uncle Huang, this letter - the letter is fake!"

"I recognize her handwriting......"

Shen Tingnian's eyes quickly swollen from crying, and finally he was tired and had no strength to cry, his forehead was against his neck, and he slowly stopped sobbing.

"Will I ever see her again?"

Looking back now, who would have known that the parting would be the last one many years later, Shen Tingnian was so uncomfortable, Pu Yangxu looked at her like this, she was distressed, and she didn't have any words to comfort her.

The world is impermanent, not all dispersions have encounters, and not all the coming days have a long time.

"I'm here, Nian Nian, don't be sad."

###

Wei Chuyun died of illness in early June of the fourth year of Jianyuan, and the news was sent to the capital by the flying pigeon, and Shen Tingnian was about to give birth.

Pu Yangxu never dared to tell her, although he was also uncomfortable for several days, he didn't show it at all, and he also issued a strict order to suppress the news and not say anything, and no one was even allowed to mention the relevant people and things.

is so strictly guarded, but on June 21, Shen Tingnian knew about it in Brother Zhan'er's mouth.

Brother Zhan is now curious, and he likes to ask "What is it?" ”

When you see a flower, ask what kind of flower it is? When you see something fun, ask what it is?

"Mother, what is it when a person dies?" Brother Zhan suddenly asked, after eating well.

Yan Xitang was silent for a moment, Shen Tingnian was stunned, maybe he was a little nervous recently, after all, it was not an accident to be prepared to give birth to twins.

"How do you ask this? Zhan Zhan, who told you? ”

Shen Tingnian thought that someone who was ignorant told him these obscure words in order to spoil her mood.

Brother Zhan'er's beautiful big eyes blinked, "I heard them say in the Shang study room today that the little finch they raised died. ”

"I just asked, what is it that is dead?"

"Then my brother won't let them say ...... in front of me"

Brother Zhan tilted his head, "I'll block the little coconut on the road after class and ask him-"

The elder brother in his mouth is Shen Shen, the adopted son of Shen Tingnian, and he is also a righteous father when he calls the emperor, and he is naturally treated as a prince when he is raised in the palace, so Brother Zhan calls him brother in terms of age, but because his identity is unorthodox, he is not the eldest son of the emperor.

And the little coconut is Shen Shen's accompanying reading boy, and also Shen He's youngest son, very naughty, he likes to chase after the little palace maid at a young age, and he is very lawless on weekdays, but he is most afraid of Shen Tingnian, once followed Brother Zhan to hit a bird with a slingshot in the imperial garden, and injured the palace people passing by, and was known by Shen Tingnian, and was severely punished, she punished people not to beat you and scold you, but to ask someone to cook a meal for him, all of which were his least favorite things to eat, and he cried when he ate.

After that, the little coconut no longer dared to take Brother Zhan to play.

"To be dead is to be dead, and you will never see each other again." The little coconut replied.

Brother Zhan felt that he understood, so he was very happy, "If you can't see it, you can't see it." ”

"yes, it's not a big deal." Little Coconut was also very happy, and everyone said that the prince was smart, and he didn't want to ask himself questions, "I also know that people will die." ”

"Won't people see each other?" Brother Zhan was puzzled again, the little finch flew away and didn't have a rope to bring it back, so he couldn't see it, why couldn't he see it?

"Yes." Little Coconut was very sure, and in order to prove that he was not lying, he told Brother Zhan that he had heard his father and mother whispering, "They can't be wrong." ”

Shen Tingnian unconsciously put down his chopsticks and asked Brother Zhan softly, "Did Little Coconut listen to his father say who died?" ”

"I don't know." Brother Zhan'er didn't understand it in his little head, he shook his head, and was still very distressed, "Mother, you haven't answered me yet." ”

The things that can make Shen He and his wife quietly discuss at night must be related to the Shen family...... Even the sensible Shen Shen was explained, and he also prevented the people in Shangshufang from talking nonsense in front of Brother Zhan.

Looking at Yuezhu and Suoqiao's expressions as if they were facing a great enemy, where could Shen Tingnian not guess?

"Is it—Wei Chuyun?"

The Moon Lord and Suoqiao looked at each other hesitantly, and after a while, Shen Tingnian's face had changed visibly, and if he didn't deny it, he acquiesced.

"Niangniang......" Suoqiao knew Wei Chuyun when she followed her in Fenglai Academy, and since she knew the news, she began to worry, but now it is true, "Niangniang, you must be careful of your body." ”

"Hmm-" Shen Tingnian was short of breath, suddenly stuffy, a strange pain spread from her abdomen, she gasped, "I'm going to give birth!" ”

"......" lock bridge.

"......" Yuezhu.

Both of them were stunned, and the other palace maids and lieutenants waiting everywhere also gasped in unison.

"Hurry up and call my father!" Brother Zhan'er's voice was particularly crisp and loud, he suddenly got up from the chair and shouted in a hurry: "Hurry up and call my father to come!" ”

It turned out that Pu Yangxu taught him, if Shen Tingnian is about to give birth, he must remember to call him immediately, Brother Zhan's side is not very obedient, but the father and son have quietly reached an agreement on this matter, Pu Yangxu told him that if he does this, he will have a sister, so he reacted very quickly.

Shen Tingnian started the 'stepping on the life and death barrier' in the call of Brother Zhan.

The emperor rushed over from the imperial study this time, and he didn't even have time to explain to the ministers of the imperial study, so he left in a hurry, to be honest, the emperor didn't need to say anything about this situation, they also guessed that it was Concubine Xi who was going to give birth.

At the moment, no matter how important the national event is, it does not have to be immediately resolved, and their courtiers have not yet understood that what is more urgent than Yan Xitang's matter.

Among them, Shen He was an exception, he was also very anxious, and the others all glanced at each other a few times, and then dispersed with a tacit understanding.

They left the imperial study together, and walked in silence for a while, and then someone whispered: "Concubine Xi is very favored, if she gives birth to twins safely, I am afraid that the story of the Shen dynasty will be repeated." ”

Don't look at them as important ministers, they have been fighting steadily in the officialdom for decades, and they never care much about the affairs of the harem, but they all know it in their hearts, for example, this Queen Song was pushed up by them, I thought that I could balance the Shen family, but I didn't know that it backfired.

Few people understood the meaning of the story of the Shen Dynasty, but no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Lao Cheng made a solemn summary statement: "Let's wait until the birth is over, no matter what, the crown prince has been established, there are successors to the country, and the country's stability is unshakable." ”

They left the palace peacefully to wait for the news, but they didn't want to wait for a letter this day, and it was not very surprising, where could twins be born so easily-it was not the first child.

As expected by the midwife and imperial doctors, Shen Tingnian's birth was very hard, and it was even more unsmooth than the first child.

"What the hell is going on now?" It's getting dark, Pu Yangxu is about to be unable to stand, it's too difficult, you don't need to look at his face at all, the tone is enough to express his mood.

The imperial doctors all opened their mouths one after another, and one said: "The birth gate is too small, and the two children in the belly are still crowded to come out...... It's stuck. ”

"The decoction has been prepared, and if you want to cut the delivery door, the child can come out smoothly, but the adults are unpredictable......"

This means that the situation is not only not optimistic, but also has to have a decision, if you want to let the adults take risks, you should immediately feed a bowl of oxytocic drugs, and then cut the birth door, if you let the two children take risks, you will delay it again to see if you can have a smooth delivery......

Pu Yangxu took a deep breath and clenched his fists fiercely, "Is there any other way?" There must be a way, can't push the uterine midwifery? ”

"At this time, pushing the uterus is too demanding for the technique, and the mother's body will also suffer, as well as the child...... There is less and less water in the cell, and there are two children, if they suffocate, they will-"

They didn't dare to say the rest of the words, and they all knelt down.

"How could it be-" Pu Yangxu stood unsteadily and fell backwards, but fortunately, Chen Luo and Qian Tian behind him caught up and supported him left and right, so he didn't fall down.

It's just that I've made a prediction thousands of times in my heart, but when it really comes to this moment, it's still difficult to make a decision.

What to do...... What the hell to do?!
