Autumn is the most beautiful season in Linjiang Chu Palace.

The two hundred-year-old ginkgo trees in the Xinlan Hall are all golden leaves. The evening breeze caresses, and under the colorful sunset, the yellow leaves fall, like a fan, and also like a butterfly.

Lin Ying, the king of Chu, hurriedly came and bumped into Yan Xiu, who was carrying a basin of blood.

Blood sprinkled on Lin Ying's old white robe, and Yan Xiu immediately knelt down and said: "Yan Xiu collided with His Royal Highness's ......" The sentence "The crime deserves death" has not yet been spoken, and has been helped up by Lin Ying.

Lin Ying said: "It's okay, it's okay. What happened to Sister Shu'er? ”

Yan Xiu replied, "Princess, she...... The amniotic water has broken, but the fetus has not yet come out. But rest assured, Your Royal Highness, the princess has always been strong, plus Granny Lu is taking care of her inside, the other stable women are also very experienced, and the people of the entire Tai Hospital are guarding outside the door, Ah Xing and Ah Die, as well as Aunt Yan, are also waiting inside, and it will definitely be fine. ”

Lin Ying stared at the half basin of blood in Yan Xiu's hand: "Then why is there so much blood?" ”

Yan Xiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Back to Your Highness, how can you give birth to a child without bloodshed?" There isn't a lot of blood. ”

Lin Ying raised her eyebrows: "Haven't you ever been born?" ”

Yan Xiuxiao's face flushed: "I haven't married Su Liu yet, where did I have a child?" ”

Lin Ying asked again: "Then how do you know how much blood should be shed after giving birth?" ”

Yan Xiu said: "This is what Granny Lu said. ”

Lin Ying frowned: "Granny Lu? Is it the Lu family's doctor who has been living in the Song Palace with her aunt? ”

Yan Xiu nodded: "Granny Lu is the princess's midwife." She went to the Song Kingdom with the queen as a concubine of the Chu Palace, and the princess was taken care of by her and her aunts A Xing and A Die as soon as she was born. They have known the princess for much longer than His Highness, so His Highness can rest assured. ”

Lin Ying said: "This Granny Lu is very old, when I saw her last year, she was already old and dizzy, and her legs and feet were not flexible, are you sure she can keep Sister Shu'er's mother and son safe?" ”

Yan Xiu said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Granny Lu has already secured her life, and the doctors and other stable women in the Tai Hospital also said that the princess's mother and son are fine, but the first child is more difficult." ”

Lin Ying sighed: "What's the use of her life as an old woman?" You go and tell her that if Sister Shu'er's mother and son are safe, I will immediately make her a first-class edict in the Chu State. If there are any relatives and nephews in her family, as long as she speaks, I will immediately add them to the rank of knight! ”

Yan Xiu took the order, hurriedly poured the blood under the ginkgo tree, and ran back to Shu'er's bedroom.

Stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground, Lin Ying stood with her hands in her hands.

The sunset had cleared, and the sky had sunk. There were still bursts of painful moans in the bedroom, disturbing Lin Ying's upset.

He had always been calm, but suddenly strode towards the bedroom and was about to push the door in.

The palace people who came with him stopped and said, "Your Highness, the delivery room is unlucky, you ...... You can't go in! ”

Lin Ying was displeased: "The birth of the fetus is a very festive event, what's unlucky?" ”

The palace man trembled and replied, "Old ...... The old slave heard about it...... Give birth...... The delivery room is unlucky, and the man ...... Mistakenly, I am afraid ...... Fear of provoking the scourge of blood and light. ”

Lin Ying said: "Nonsense! Aren't the five imperial doctors inside also men? If they can enter, why can't the widows enter? ”

The palace people dared to pull the sleeve of the king of Chu: "Your Highness, the imperial doctors...... I'm used to seeing ...... Life and death! You are a golden branch and jade body, which ...... How can you take risks? ”

Lin Ying vigorously pushed open the palace people and kicked open the door of the bedroom.

The five imperial doctors sat through the screen, and when they saw the king of Chu coming in, they hurriedly got up and saluted.

Lin Ying glanced at them and strode behind the screen. A bloody breath came towards him.

The old palace man knelt on the ground, grabbed Lin Ying's legs, and pleaded: "The palace ...... Your Highness, the delivery room is unlucky, so you can't go over! ”

Lin Ying was furious, and couldn't help but scold the palace people: "Fart! Then he felt that he cared about it, and he couldn't let anyone see his thoughts about Shu'er, so he said loudly: "If something happens to King Song's child, the entire Chu State will be caused by a bloody disaster!" At this time, the widow is on the side, if something happens, the king of Song can blame the widow alone, and there is no need to involve the entire Chu State. You get out of the way, otherwise even if you are punished by the nine clans, you will not be able to pay for the first child of King Song! ”

The palace people were stunned for a moment, Lin Ying no longer paid attention to him, and had already walked quickly to the side of Shu'er's couch behind the screen.

Yan Xiao, Yan Qing and Yan Xiu understood Lin Ying's feelings for Shu'er, so they stepped aside. Ah Xing, Ah Die and a few stable women gathered around the end of the couch, and they had no time to take care of the king of Chu.

Lin Ying saw that Shu'er's eyes were closed, her face was pale, her forehead was full of beads of sweat, and her entire pillow was soaked with sweat, so she felt a pain in her heart, knelt down, and went to shake Shu'er's hand that was clenched into a fist.

Granny Lu said: "Shu'er, you use some more strength!" The child's head has already come out, and with a little last effort, it will come out immediately! ”

Shu'er let out a weak "um", but she was already drowsy, she couldn't use her strength at all, and her consciousness gradually drifted away-

Mother...... When you gave birth to me, did it hurt like this? But you secretly gave birth to me in the White Jade Palace, and you can't shout loudly in pain, and there are not so many stable women and imperial doctors guarding you......

Mother...... When you fall asleep, doesn't it hurt anymore?

Shu'er was struggling to breathe, when she suddenly felt a pair of cold hands wrap around her numb fists.

A familiar voice lingered in her ears—

"Shu'er, open your eyes and exert some more strength! Don't you want to see if Eun is a boy or a girl? Even if you don't care what Xiao En looks like, Xiao En wants to see what you look like! Shu'er, do you want to exert your strength again one last time, okay? One last time, and then go back to sleep, okay? ”

Shu'er let out an "ah" and shook the cold hand.

Lin Ying's right hand was in severe pain, but she didn't make a sound.

After a moment, the baby's cry was crisp and loud, and everyone was relieved.

Shu'er only felt exhausted. She looked at the baby in Granny Lu's arms, smiled slightly, her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't hear any sound clearly.

When she woke up again, it was lunch time the next day.

Blurry, he opened his eyes, the sun was dazzling, and the man in front of the couch sat with his back to the sun, unable to see his face clearly, only to see a baby in his arms. He gently shook the baby in his arms, who made occasional noises and was sleeping soundly.

Shu'er muttered, "Calm ......"

Lin Ying lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, then smiled, got up and walked in front of Shu'er, and said softly: "Your little grace is extremely beautiful. Then he leaned over and placed the baby on the side of Shu'er's pillow.

Shu'er looked at the child's tender ruddy little face and long eyelashes, and asked Lin Ying softly, "Is it a girl?" ”

Lin Ying also replied softly: "Yes." Your daughter, like you, is the noblest girl in the kingdoms of Kyushu. But she is different from you, she will not live a life of displacement, she will not run for a living, she will definitely be favored by everyone, she is not proficient in scheming, she is not a human heart, she has to be safe and happy all her life. ”

Shu'er nodded with satisfaction and said weakly: "If I hadn't left the Song Palace back then, in a few years, my mother would have told me my true life experience, and then, we would still return to the Chu Kingdom." In that case, I would not have to live a life of exile, I would not have to run for a living, and I would be unscheming, unpopular, and happy. And my mom and dad don't have to worry about my disappearance. ”

Lin Ying patted Shu'er's hand and said gently: "If you didn't leave the Song Palace back then, how could you have met me early?" ”

Shu'er, I will do the trick of calculating people's hearts, and you only need to accompany your daughter, and you will be safe and happy from now on.
