On the morning of the eighteenth, Qiu Li, as usual, sent Ye Feng from the Shangya to the outside of the hospital.

Under the faint light of the lantern, Qiu Li's little face tensed.

Ye Feng raised his hand and pinched Qiu Li's face, hugged her, and smiled in her ear, "Look at you, you are more serious than me." Rest assured, we've been preparing for so long, no problem. ”

Then, turning and walking forward, the hurried figure quickly disappeared into the snowy night.

Ye Feng walked to the fork in the road, and met Ye Guogong who came out of the main courtyard, the two glanced at each other, and walked towards the outer courtyard at the same time.

Last night, Ye Guogong suddenly came to the main courtyard.

Underneath his calm exterior, his mood was extremely uncalm. If the Queen Mother and the Qi family can be pulled off the horse as they wish this time, the future life of the family will be better. Their Ye family is not like the Qiu family and other Ming kings, even if there is an accident that the fourth prince ascends the throne, their family is still prosperous......

After discussing the matter at night, he went out of the Zhuxiang Pavilion, and he also went down the hill with his son, did not go to the outer courtyard, and unconsciously came to the front of the main courtyard. He realized that he was nervous and uneasy, and what made him relax the most was here, and the voice that reassured him.

He was embarrassed to knock on the door, the crystal snowflakes scattered on the cloak on his head, the cold wind was blowing, and when he was almost numb from the cold, he finally raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The mother-in-law's voice was extremely impatient, "Who, you are still here to disturb the county lord's rest so late." She thought that there was something important about the subordinates, and it was useless to find the grandmother, so she came here.

"It's me." A majestic voice.

The mother-in-law's slumber scared her out of the clouds, and she immediately woke up. Busy said, "Oh, it's Grandpa Guo." It's coming, it's coming. ”

The mother-in-law opened the door, raised her voice again and said, "Grandpa Guo is here, Grandpa Guo is here." The voice was extremely happy, Grandpa Guo hadn't been here for a long time.

The courtyard immediately became noisy. First of all, the birdsong under the porch, because the birdcage is blocked by cotton cloth, the sound is not so crisp. Then, the voice of the girl and the mother-in-law. Some get up to boil water to make tea, and some get up to make supper.

Seeing this, Ye Guogong was inexplicably happy, and raised his feet and walked to the upper room.

Entering the hall, Mama Tang smiled and said, "It's so late, is Grandpa Guo eating all night?" ”

She smiled a little awkwardly. Because just now she beckoned the county lord to get up, but the county lord did not get up. I hope that Grandpa Guo can eat some food and drink some wine to give the county lord some time.

Ye Guogong looked at the closed side door and nodded.

Mama Tang personally cooked and fried a few side dishes that Ye Guogong liked to eat, and asked the girl Shui Ling to pour him good wine. Until Ye Guogong finished eating and drinking, He'an still didn't get up.

Ye Guogong's face sank. At this time, he was embarrassed to go out again, and he didn't want to go to the bedroom to give his wife a little care, so he had to go to the couch in the Westinghouse and sleep for one night.

When he got up in the morning, Mama Tang had breakfast, a table of all kinds of small dishes, and even rouge goose breast and other foods for the main meal, all of which he liked.

Mama Tang's eyes were red, she cried when she saw it, and she didn't sleep well.

Ye Guogong sat down and ate a few bites, but he really didn't have the appetite to eat more.

Mama Tang whispered on the side, "Grandpa Guo, my county lord is a good woman and a good wife, she is just thin-skinned and a little unable to turn around." In fact, she has been thinking about Grandpa Guo's good ......"

Ye Guogong wiped his mouth with Luo Pa, glanced at the side door that was still closed, and said, "You are a loyal slave, take good care of your county lord in the future." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away.

But his words of commendation made Mama Tang afraid, and she watched Ye Guogong go out and go away with trembling lips.

Hearing Ye Guogong go out, He An opened the side door and went straight to the small Buddha hall.

Qiu Li had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the main courtyard to ask for peace, when the mother-in-law of the Xia Shan family came to report that Li Xiumin had a seizure in the first half of the night yesterday. The midwife said that there were signs of dystocia, bleeding and amniotic fluid, but the uterine opening just did not open. Later, I drank the probiotic drug, and the uterine mouth only opened two fingers. Xia Shan cried urgently......

Qiu Li was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly went to the main courtyard to take leave with He'an. He An was also shocked when she heard that the Li family was so dangerous, and asked Qiu Li to go quickly, she looked at Brother Jin'er, and asked people to take her post to Tai Hospital to ask the imperial doctor of the sperm fetal obstetrics department to go to Xia's house, and asked people to go to the suburbs of Beijing to ask Xu's wife. In her early years, Mrs. Xu was a Chinese medicine woman in the palace, not only responsible for delivering the mothers in the palace, but also being invited by the clan relatives to deliver her own daughters, and her midwifery skills were very good. She is nearly seventy years old and has long since stopped delivering babies. Although I don't deliver babies, I have experience, so I can just stand aside and guide. I don't know if she's still alive.

Qiu Li thanked him gratefully, and hurriedly went back to get a ginseng and went to Xia's house.

As soon as he entered the gate, he could hear Li Xiumin's hoarse voice.

Entering the weeping flower door, I saw Xia Shan standing outside the window of the wing room and walking back and forth. When he saw Qiu Li coming, he rushed over in a few steps, took Qiu Li's hand and said, "Min'er has fainted from the pain a few times......

His eyes were red, and his lips were frothing.

Qiu Li persuaded, "Third uncle, don't panic, my mother-in-law has already sent someone to invite the imperial doctor of the most refined fetal obstetrics department in Tai Hospital, and she will also go to the suburbs of Beijing to invite the best midwife, Xu Obstetrics, to come." ”

Xia Shan listened and relaxed a little.

Qiu Li walked to the window, comforted Li Xiumin, and asked Li Xiumin to slice the ginseng and put it in Li Xiumin's mouth.

Two quarters of an hour later, Imperial Doctor Zhang arrived. He listened to the story of the midwife inside outside the window, and asked people to take a decoction for Li Xiumin to drink.

The next morning, Mrs. Xu was picked up. She couldn't walk anymore, and was helped by her granddaughter-in-law to come here. She entered the delivery room and sat on the side to direct the midwife to the fetal position.

Li Xiumin screamed in pain, but still begged in a low voice, "Keep the child, don't care about me......"

Xia Shan squatted under the eaves with his head in his arms and cried. Qiu Li also wiped her tears, the ancient dystocia was too terrible.

The child was born until the evening, and the child was not yet born. Qiu Li was not at ease, so he asked people to go home and take leave. Ye Feng didn't go home, and Mama Zhao said that she would report to the old lady and the county lord.

At the end of the ugly hour of the next day, Li Xiumin finally gave birth to a boy safely, and he was safe.

The crowd cheered.

Mrs. Xu came out and whispered, "Grandma Xia has suffered a big crime, and it will not be easy to get pregnant in the future." ”

Qiu Li thanked Mrs. Xu and gave her and Imperial Doctor Zhang 100 taels of silver each, and Xia Shan also gave them 50 taels of silver each.

asked the coachman to send Imperial Doctor Zhang home, and arranged for Xu to live in a wing room with her granddaughter-in-law, and Qiu Li went into the house to visit Li Xiumin and the child.

Li Xiumin was already asleep, sleeping peacefully. Her clothes had changed, but her hair could not be washed, and now there was no hair dryer, and sweat stains were sticking to her head.

Xia Shan sat at the head of the bed and held Li Xiumin's hand, looking at her without blinking.

The child is very healthy, some big, seven pounds and three taels, and is held in the arms of the nurse.
