Chapter 125: Difficult Birth (Part I)
Before the second day arrived, Butong was woken up by the spring peach that night, and raised his head half sideways in a daze.
"What's wrong, Chun Peach?"
Chun Tao's anxious words were not good, "Miss, Shi Qing came to knock on our back door in the middle of the night, as long as the little maid passed the word to me, saying that the fourth imperial concubine fell in the house at night, I am afraid that she will give birth prematurely, and Wen Po is rushing to the house, and the fourth highness asked him to invite the young lady to come and have a look." ”
Bu Tong suddenly came to his senses,
"What? Sister Yao was born prematurely! ”
Chun Tao nodded anxiously, "Yes." ”
"It's broken!" Bu Tong got up all of a sudden, and put his clothes on his body indiscriminately, "On weekdays, I said that Sister Yao's birth would not be too smooth, why did she fall down at this time?" ”
Chun Tao was busy changing Bu Tong's clothes and tidying up his messy hair by the way, "Shi Qing didn't say anything else, I saw that he was also flustered, and he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly came to pass the message to Miss." ”
Butong nodded,
"Don't pack up here, go and prepare a carriage for me, bring the solid qi pill I made before, and then get me a dark cloak, bring the pill and we will go to the Four Princes' Mansion immediately."
Chun Tao nodded again and again, "Miss, don't panic, when she just came in, Chun Tao immediately arranged for the little maid to do it, now let's go to the back door." ”
Bu Tong hurriedly picked up the small box handed over by Chun Tao, rubbed it uneasily and slightly flusteredly, walked left and right in place, and confirmed again and again,
"Yes, it must be okay, Sister Yao will be fine, here I put ginseng, ejiao, astragalus, and yam to replenish qi and blood...... I can always help, yes, it's just that the child is older, as long as Sister Yao has the strength, she can give birth safely. ”
Chun Tao looked at the anxious Butong, "Miss, let's go, do you want to wake up the eldest young master?" ”
Butong waved his hand, put on a thin black cloak and hugged the wooden box in his hand, and walked out quickly.
"That's it, calling my brother won't help much, if you wake up your sister-in-law, I'm afraid that you have to worry about this again, or let them have a good rest, and send someone to talk about it early tomorrow morning."
On the long street of Kyoto, a carriage drove quickly to the door of the Four Princes' Mansion, two black figures entered the side door under the leadership of Shi Qing beside the Four Princes, and the three of them rushed all the way past all the guards, the main courtyard in the back hall was brightly lit, Bu Tong looked at the palace people coming and going in the courtyard were in a hurry and nervous, and couldn't help but get nervous, and his heart was very uneasy, and he ran to the figure standing on the steps outside the door.
"I've met His Royal Highness, how is Sister Yao?"
As soon as the words fell, the things in his hand were not handed over, but a woman standing next to Mu Hesheng suddenly spoke, and she was as enthusiastic and happy as a New Year's greeting, "I have seen the county lord's mother, the princess's sister just accidentally fell and gave birth earlier, thank you for the kindness of the county lord, my sister is a blessed person, and she will definitely give birth safely." ”
This is not pleasing to the ear, Bu Tong squinted and looked over, a woman who looked reluctant to six points was looking at herself with a smile, her face was full of pride and flattery, so she didn't give Mu Hesheng face at all and said coldly,
"Who are you? Why, the princess of this house is suffering from this catastrophe now, you seem to be very happy? ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down, "The county lord's mother forgives her sins, the concubine definitely doesn't mean this, my sister is guilty in it, and I am afraid to hurt His Royal Highness the prince under such a fright, and the concubine is worried with His Royal Highness." ”
"Look up," Bu Tong looked at the people on the ground, "You are the queen mother sent to the house?" ”
The woman brought a flattering smile again, "If you go back to the county lord's mother, the concubine is ridiculous, and she is a five-grade female official beside the queen......"
Before Bu Tong could speak, he rounded his arm and threw it over, and a crisp slap exploded in her face, attracting sideways glances from people passing by.
"You still know what you are, a five-grade female officer? That's just an ordinary palace maid, even if the mother gives you the face to send you to serve the Fourth Highness, it's just a mere concubine, not only dare to call yourself a 'concubine' in front of the master, but also dare to interrupt the palace to speak? In front of the palace and the four highnesses, you also have the right to interject! ”
Yan Xi pitifully hugged his instantly swollen face and looked up at the people around him, "Your Highness......"
Mu Hesheng changed his gentle and charitable appearance in the past, and only glanced at him expressionlessly, Yan Xi immediately lost his voice, and said in a low voice, "It's the concubine who is rude, which makes the county lord displeased......"
With such a low-level White Lotus, is the reason why the queen chose her to deliberately provoke her son?
Bu Tong's eyebrows twitched, and Mu Hesheng turned his head slightly, "What are you doing here when you know that you are rude?" Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”
The little maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward and helped the crying master away.
Mu Hesheng watched the figures of the two disappear out of view, and then bowed his hand slightly, "Thank you." ”
Butong "snorted" and walked in,
"Your Highness is so weak now, she is just an ordinary palace maid, and she is just a concubine when she is sent to this mansion, why does Your Highness let her be so arrogant."
Mu Hesheng sighed helplessly after Bu Tong, "In front of the county lord, she has restrained a lot, and she really can't scold her with a 'queen mother's order' before, after all, as a son of man, if it is really the queen mother's order, I really don't know what to do." ”
Isn't it a "mom boy"? But Mu Hesheng clearly shouldn't be.
Bu Tong only felt a little ridiculous, "The courtiers don't know when His Royal Highness became so close to the queen mother." ”
In front of him is the inner hall, where the housewife lives, and the sound of Ji Yao's painful struggle can be faintly heard, as well as low shouts and noisy commands, Bu Tong hurriedly quickened his pace and walked inside,
"Sister Yao, how is Sister Yao?"
Within the layers of curtains, Ji Yao couldn't stand anymore, lying on the delivery bed, and several older mothers-in-law beside her were comforting her.
When Ji Yao saw Bu Tong coming in, his teeth that were originally clenched loosened, "Ah Tong ......"
Immediately, a mother-in-law exclaimed, "Niangniang, you can't relax at this time!" You'll have to work harder! ”
Bu Tong handed the box in his hand to Ji Yao's personal maid on the side,
"Feed one to your mother every other cup of tea, nourish qi and replenish blood, the most stable physical strength, Sister Yao's child is older than usual, I'm afraid it will grow up tonight."
The mother-in-law who had just spoken hurriedly continued, "Isn't this the county lord who saves the suffering?" What the county lord said is extremely true, the child has not shown his head at all, and the time behind the imperial concubine is afraid that it will be a long time! ”
Between the episodes of "Ah Tong ......", Ji Yao slowly stretched out his hand, and Bu Tong hurriedly rushed to the side of the bed,
"Sister Yao, I'm here, don't worry, women give birth to children, they always have to pass this hurdle, don't worry about other things, just give birth safely."
Ji Yao cried in the corners of her eyes, "Ah Tong, that woman pushed me, she did it on purpose, she said that Ah Tong was there, and the worst result was just to help me keep the child......"
"What?" Bu Tong's eyes widened, and he held Ji Yao's hand tightly, "What kind of foolish words did Sister Yao say, you and the child will be fine, I will be on the side, Tong'er will come to vent your anger." ”
Ji Yao was groggy, and Bu Tong instructed her mother-in-law,
"It's not yet the time for the final birth, the imperial concubine is just in labor, a few of you are staring at it carefully, let the imperial concubine rest for a while, wake up and feed the qi tonic pill I brought, don't be exhausted by rushing to give birth too early."
The mothers-in-law should go down, and Butong looked around,
"What about the medical officer? Why none? Wait, who's going to give the needle to the mother? ”
The mother-in-law looked at Butong in embarrassment, "The county lord's mother, the person who reported to the palace has already gone, but now the medical officers have not arrived, I'm afraid it's ......."
"What are you afraid of?" Mu Hesheng suddenly opened the curtain and walked in, looking at Ji Yao who was groggy on the bed, his brows slowly locked.
The mothers-in-law were shocked, "How unbearable is this delivery room, how can His Royal Highness come here?" ”
Mu Hesheng waved his hand, "Say!" ”
The mothers-in-law were crawling on the ground and trembling, "Most likely someone deliberately blocked it." ”
But in this palace, who would dare to deliberately prevent the medical officer from coming to the Four Princes' Mansion? The answer seems to be clear.
Mu Hesheng suddenly laughed, but this smile was full of sourness, "She actually hates me so much, and even does not hesitate to kill the son, and she wants me to cut off my children and grandchildren." ”
Bu Tong pondered for a moment, "Spring Peach! ”
Chun Tao immediately ran in, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Bu Tong dragged down the jade peache that he had been wearing on his waist and gave it to Chun Tao,
"Chun Tao, let Shi Qing drive the carriage for you to knock on the palace door, meet Liu Siyuan of the Imperial Pharmacy, tell her about the situation in the house, and tell her to bring a few capable medical women, as long as the prince is okay, His Royal Highness will never treat her badly."
Chun Tao should hurry up to do it, Mu Hesheng looked at Bu Tong, "But the medical ladies in the palace?" They won't come, no one dares to openly rebel against a while, let alone these medical women who are already struggling in the palace. ”
Butong shook his head slightly,
"No, Liu Siyuan won't, Your Highness don't worry, she is different from those people, I have seen that she has unwillingness and ambition in her eyes, and she is never willing to be an obscure medical officer in the palace, treating the palace maids every day, even if the entire imperial pharmacy is trapped in the palace tonight, Liu Siyuan will find a way to come out and stand next to Sister Yao's bed."
Mu Hesheng nodded, and gave Bu Tong a big gift, "Thank you, Miss Bu." ”
Bu Tong nodded unceremoniously, "Your Highness comes out with me." ”
Mu Hesheng followed Bu Tong to the back hall for some reason, and Bu Tong asked directly without giving face,
"What Sister Yao said, what does Your Highness think about being pushed down by Yan Xi and giving birth prematurely?"
Mu Hesheng tightly locked his eyebrows, "I don't know this, Ah Yao entered the delivery room and I was stopped outside, only to hear Yan Xi say that the two of them planned to go to the warehouse to find some materials suitable for making small clothes for the child, and I didn't notice it for a while, Ah Yao tripped over the cloth and fell down the steps, and this is the ......."
In Bu Tong's disdainful eyes, Mu Hesheng slowly clenched his fists, "One side!" ”
Butong nodded,
"It turns out that His Royal Highness can still think of this, it will take some time to wait for the people in the palace to come back to give birth, so as not to have a misunderstanding and let His Highness's mother and son have a dislike, it is better to ask this noble concubine first, Your Highness has a good bottom in her heart."
Mu Hesheng turned his head and commanded, "Where did Mrs. Yan go?" ”
The little guy replied in a low voice, "If you go back to Your Highness, Mrs. Yan has returned to the courtyard." ”
Bu Tong flicked his sleeves, "Then lead the way." ”
After passing through a small courtyard, he walked to a courtyard on the west side that was not good-looking, Mu Hesheng said, "This is it, I'm afraid that A-Yao will feel uncomfortable when she sees her all day long, so I thought that it would be clean to live farther away, but I didn't think that such a thing would happen." ”
Bu Tong slowly approached,
"Trouble is not something you can hide, since it appears, then she will take the initiative to break into front of you and cause trouble unexpectedly."
Stretched out his hand and pushed open the hidden door, there was no one waiting here, maybe it was Ji Yao's incident before, everyone went over there to help, so it's okay.
The two approached slowly, and the master and servant in the room were talking, and the voice entered the ears without concealment.
"What kind of county lord is this Raushzi, it's really too arrogant and spicy, should she be the Nanguo Mansion here? Even in her house, after all, you are the queen's mother to the fourth highness, how dare she scold at will. ”
Bu Tong pouted when he listened to the little maid's words, only to hear Yan Xi stop her,
"Don't talk nonsense, she is the county lord, she can do anything, besides, I look at the meaning of the queen's mother, although I don't look down on the four imperial concubines from the commoner, I don't necessarily look down on me, but I just fall in this mansion and deliver news for her."
"Madame, how can you say such frustrating words, even if the new imperial concubine enters the mansion in the future, you will enter the mansion before her, why worry about the future future."
Yan Xi suddenly said in shock, "So, what if you are slapped by the new princess now?" ”
Mu Hesheng's expression froze, "What does this mean?" ”
When the people in the house heard the commotion outside, the maid got up and looked, "Who is outside?" ”
The moment the door was opened, the little maid was gently pushed to the side by Butong's outstretched hand, looked at Yan Xi who was sitting at the table inside, and turned around and instructed the maid,
"Come in, close the door, and stand here, and you don't have to wait."
The little girl furrowed her eyebrows in embarrassment, but she didn't dare to disobey.
Bu Tong and Mu Hesheng sat down opposite Yan Xi, looked at him and smiled steadily,
"New Princess, me? It seems that this lady knows a lot of things that the palace and His Highness have not heard of. ”
