Chapter 55: Difficult Birth
"Xiao Mo, it hurts." Xia Man grabbed the brocade on the couch, her lips were already bitten and bloody, this was the first time she had called Xiao Mo by her name in front of people.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Xiao Mo took a hot towel and wiped the sweat off Xia Man's forehead.
Because of the production, a green gauze tent was hung in front of the bed, the midwives were in the tent, Qianying and the imperial doctors were outside the tent, at that time, Qin Siya received the news and hurried to the Southern Dynasty.
Time passed, no matter how the midwife thought of a way, the fetus just couldn't get down, Xia Man on the couch had no strength, lying with a pale face, and even his voice was very weak, "Xiao Mo, I'm afraid, I can't get through." ”
"What nonsense, cheer up, we still have a long day to go." Xiao Mo held Xia Man's hand tightly and kept talking in her ear, afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold it out and wouldn't wake up.
Qianying asked the mother in the tent about Xia Man's situation, and gave Xia Man a pulse, sure enough, it was a difficult birth, so he prepared medicine, immersed in silver needles, and pierced a few big holes, Xia Man had some strength.
"Niangniang, you can already see the fetal head, if you exert a little more strength, the child will come out." The midwife gently pressed Xia Man's belly, cooperated with her breathing, and taught her how to exert strength.
Xia Man's whole body was in pain as if she had been whipped, especially the spasmodic cramps in her abdomen, which made her tremble uncontrollably, and she held her breath several times, her brain was already a little dizzy from lack of oxygen, her eyes were black, and she couldn't see who was who.
"Work harder, try harder!" The midwife pressed Xia Man's legs, very anxious, if the child did not come down again, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be angry, and he will not escape death.
Seeing this, Qianying decided that if he delayed any longer, he would definitely have two lives, so he took a risky move, first feeding the gods with ginseng soup, and then feeding him with the secret medicine of the Illusion Pavilion, the Zengyi Pill.
Xia Man, who took the pill, seemed to have been suddenly infused with a burst of energy, roaring and using all his strength, in an instant, a warm heat flowed down the root of Xia Man's legs, accompanied by a baby cry, Xia Man passed out, no matter how Xiao Mo shouted, it was useless.
When Xia Man woke up, it was already the fifth day, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw Xiao Mo lying on the edge of the couch, holding her hand, and falling asleep deeply.
Xia Man wanted to move, but his body seemed to have been tortured, even if he moved slightly, the pain was unbearable, and he moved his gaze to his lower abdomen with difficulty, but he didn't see a bulge, it was flat, and then he looked at both sides, there were no children, he couldn't help but feel heartache and anxiety, and wanted to wake up Xiao Mo to ask, but his throat was dry, swollen and painful, and he couldn't make a sound.
Hearing the movement, Xiao Mo opened his eyes and saw that Xia Man had woken up, and his bloodshot eyes were bright, and he hurriedly wiped away the tears in her eyes and kissed her forehead gently.
Xia Man grabbed Xiao Mo's hand tightly and forced himself to make a sound, "Child...... ...... child"
Xiao Mo knew what she meant, and reassured: "The child is fine, he is a prince, and he is taken care of by the nurse, you can rest assured." ”
Exhaling deeply, Xia Man's hanging heart just now fell, endured the pain, stretched out his hands and hugged Xiao Mo who was leaning over, tears came out again, soaking his clothes.
Xiao Mo buried his head in Xia Man's shoulder socket, these five days, during the day, he guarded here all night, there was no moment of relaxation, now, the tight strings have finally loosened, and there has never been a time when it is so smooth as now.
The two of them hugged like this, there were no extra words, no extra people, and each other could hear each other's heartbeats, which was solid and warm.
In the past five days, Xiao Mo was so anxious, and Qianying was even more day and night, on the one hand, he had to take care of the treatment of Xia Man, and on the other hand, he had to rescue the little prince who was not full-term, it was really troublesome, even a black hair had silver threads, and Qin Siya also came on the second day, and he had been looking for rare medicinal materials with Qianying.
"It's Snow Lotus now." Qianying prepared the prescription and said, "At that time, the soldiers made dangerous moves, and they used the Zengyi Pill for her, and she lost her body, and it will take time to recover." ”
"It's also her life, she almost lost her pulse and survived." Qin Siya felt worried just by listening to Qianying describe the scene of that day, fortunately, the Qin family has been in business for many years, and there are all kinds of rare medicinal materials, "There is just a snow lotus in my house, let Qingfeng bring it later." ”
"That's good." Qianying breathed a sigh of relief, and began to dispense medicine for the little prince again, because it was not full-term, the prince was born thin and delicate, for five days in a row, five grandmothers and two nurses took care of them day and night, and they didn't dare to be careless at all.
Every day, Qianying handed over the prepared medicine to the nursing mother, who decocted it and fed it to the prince as milk, so that after half a month, Xiao Mo's child could be truly saved.
"My sister has your rescue, thank you." Qin Siya gave Qianying a look at the etiquette of the Southern Dynasty.
"It doesn't have to be this way, it's a family." Qianying is rarely serious, and the scene of the conversation with Xiao Mo that day comes to mind.
"Save her, the things of the Southern Dynasty are driven by you."
"When is it time to say this!"
Yes, Chikage began to mutter, "Is my image really deeply ingrained?"
Qin Siya's ears are very good, and when he heard this, he couldn't help coughing lowly, and teased: "It is said that the Qin family is rich and rivals the country, in my opinion, the real rich and rival country is probably your Thousand Shadow Son." ”
"It's serious, cough, it's serious......" Chikage touched the abacus in her arms, smiled awkwardly, and continued to dispense.
With Qianying's medical skills and Qin Siya's medicinal materials, Xia Man's body began to recover little by little, and by the eighth day, he could turn over, and his spirit was much better.
"Mother, it's time to drink the medicine." Xin'er brought the boiled medicine to the bed.
Smelling the bitter medicine that lingered for a long time, Xia Man had a headache, "Why does it smell more bitter than yesterday's medicine." ”
Xin'er blew the decoction in the bowl, scooped a spoonful, and handed it to Xia Man's lips before saying, "The Thousand Shadows said that Niangniang is a good time to recover her body, and if she increases the dose, it will naturally taste more bitter." ”
Xia Man took a sip, this medicine is not only bitter but also very fishy, as soon as he entered his mouth, his stomach twitched, and he almost vomited, and he waved his hand hurriedly, "Take it away, I can't drink it." ”
"This ......" Xin'er just wanted to persuade, Xiao Mo entered the hall, took the medicine bowl in her hand, and said, "You go down first." ”
"Yes." Xin'er exited the inner sanctum and prepared food for Xia Man.
"The medicine is bitter, drink it quickly, and when you can sit down, I will bring Bi'er." Xiao Mo was about to feed the medicine, but Xia Man snatched the medicine bowl, drank the medicine bowl in a few gulps, looked at Xiao Mo, and said expectantly: "Really?"
"Really." Xiao Mo stroked Xia Man's cheeks, and said with pampering: "You have to take care of your body so that you have the strength to take the emperor." ”
Xia Man has been worried about the child since he woke up, Xiao Mo was afraid that it would affect her physical recovery, so she never let go, and besides, the child was weak, and she had been relying on Qianying's decoction to raise her, and it was easy to move, and now, the bodies of adults and children have been recovering, and soon, the mother and son will be visible.
