Meng Xilan is pregnant, and now, the palace is the biggest secret. However, as long as there are people, it is not easy to keep the secret.

Zhou Youchen also knew very well in his heart that this matter would not be hidden for long, and it would be known by others.

In the past few months of raising a baby, Meng Xilan has almost never appeared in front of people, and stays in Cining Palace every day, which makes people want to see it. In the Tai Hospital, only Jiao Changqing and his apprentice Sun Yuan knew Meng Xilan's secret, and both of them were tight-lipped, and even the prescriptions were strictly guarded, and no one was allowed to inquire about them.

This kind of protection makes people in the palace suspicious, and people outside the palace are faintly uneasy.

At the beginning of each month or in the middle of the month, the Meng family will send someone into the palace to meet the concubine Niangniang to see if she is okay, and by the way, explain the major and minor affairs of the family. However, in the past few months when Meng Xilan was pregnant, not only could the people in the palace not see Meng Xilan, but even the people of the Meng family could not see her.

Mrs. Meng silently counted the days in her heart, and she only felt bad in her heart.

Qiao Huiyun's body has been almost nine months old and is about to give birth, but she still remembers Meng Xilan in the palace in her heart.

On this day, she accompanied the old lady to talk, and both of them invariably mentioned Meng Xilan.

Mrs. Meng sighed: "Xu Yes, because of the previous incident, that child has a dislike for me in his heart." She avoided us like this, clearly minding the past. ”

Qiao Huiyun leaned on the pillow and lowered her eyes slightly: "How come?" You are the elder of the mother, a family of flesh and blood, how can there be an overnight feud. ”

That being said, she still had some mind in her heart.

The old lady was bent on letting her mother adopt Brother Yun, but she never cared about her feelings as a mother. Brother Yun is her first child, her eldest son, how can she be reluctant?

The sad mood can only be concealed, as a granddaughter-in-law, Qiao Huiyun knows that she is not qualified to say accusatory words to the old lady. Fortunately, Meng Xilan was extremely pitiful and sympathetic to her and Brother Yun, and rejected the old lady with righteous words.

Thinking back to this time, although Qiao Huiyun's heart was mixed, he was still full of gratitude.

Mrs. Meng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea: "I also let Brother Yun go over because I feel sorry for her." ”

"Yes......" Qiao Huiyun replied softly.

"Still, I'm still worried that something will happen to Yulan. My eyelids have been beating for the past two days, and I haven't heard anything from her, which makes me feel uneasy. Old Lady Meng groaned slightly.

Qiao Huiyun stroked his stomach and sighed softly.

"It's better to let my father go directly to the emperor and ask."

"He was even more anxious than me, so he naturally asked early in the morning, but the strange thing is that the emperor was tight-lipped about everything about Meng Xilan and didn't say a word."

The strangest thing is that this is the strangest thing, if Meng Xilan has something, the emperor will not be so silent. But if Meng Xilan has something, he will not hide it from the Meng family.

Mrs. Meng had a headache when she thought about it, and she couldn't understand why.

……

The first three months were the most critical time, Meng Xilan fought for half her life and finally survived.

However, she often has colic in her lower abdomen, and she is also red at every turn.

Jiao Changqing tried his best, but he still didn't know how long Meng Xilan could last.

As soon as Zhou Youchen stepped into the gate of Cining Palace, he could smell a strong smell of medicine, he thought that he had become accustomed to it, but he still couldn't help frowning.

Meng Xilan was like being soaked in a medicine jar all day long, so he was distressed and helpless. Her face was the size of his palm, but her belly was bulging day by day.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or because I have a concern in my heart, since Meng Xilan became pregnant, Zhou Youchen hasn't had any nightmares, not once. Originally, he was afraid of disturbing Meng Xilan, so he had been sleeping alone in the Heart Nourishing Palace. It's just that now that the nightmare is gone, he went to Cining Palace again and quietly accompanied her.

Meng Xilan often has trouble sleeping at night, sometimes because of abdominal pain, sometimes because of calf cramps. Every time it comes to such a time, Zhou Youchen hopes that he can be by her side to make her feel a little more at ease.

That night, Meng Xilan had severe abdominal pain again, and the whole person curled up on the bed, holding Zhou Youchen's cuffs tightly with both hands, clenching her teeth, and not saying a word.

She never cries out for pain easily, especially when Zhou Youchen is by her side.

Zhou Youchen looked down at her, and saw that her forehead was sweating in pain, and her whole body was tense, so he frowned unconsciously and said, "Don't bear it, just shout if you want to." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head and still didn't speak, just turned her head away to prevent him from seeing her face.

After a while, Jiao Changqing arrived in a hurry, in order to take care of Meng Xilan, he is now also living in the Tai Hospital. As long as Cining Palace sends someone to deliver the letter, he will arrive as soon as possible.

Zhou Youchen wanted to help Meng Xilan sit up, but she didn't even dare to move.

Jiao Changqing's eyebrows frowned, glanced at the quilt covered by Meng Xilan's body, and only said: "Your Majesty, please check for Weichen, can Niangniang have bleeding and see red?" With that, he turned away evasively and waited quietly.

Zhou Youchen slowly lifted the quilt, reached out and reached under Meng Xilan's body, and sure enough, he felt a wet patch.

When I looked down, it was blood. Zhou Youchen couldn't help but sink in his heart, and was stunned on the spot.

Zhu Lu saw the blood stains on his fingertips, and hurriedly replied: "Oh no, my lord, Niangniang is red again." ”

This is not the first time. Jiao Changqing hurriedly began to prepare for Meng Xilan's acupuncture.

Meng Xilan was lying on her side on the bed, her lips were a little pale, slightly open, as if she had something to say.

Zhou Youchen didn't think much about it, and hurriedly leaned into his ear and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at him, her eyes were a little sad: "Child...... The child must be saved. ”

Xu was because the pain was too bad this time, Meng Xilan's heart was very uneasy, and she had a faint bad premonition.

Zhou Youchen's eyes sank when he heard this, and he looked at her fixedly and said, "Don't think nonsense. ”

He didn't avoid going out, but stayed with Meng Xilan until her face gradually eased, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Xilan's pajamas were soaked with sweat, and Zhou Youchen took the quilt and covered her, for fear that she would accidentally catch a cold.

After tossing for most of the hour, there was finally no danger.

After Jiao Changqing diagnosed Meng Xilan's pulse, he sighed heavily and said, "Niangniang, today is out of danger." However, this dangerous situation will become more and more frequent in the future...... So, be careful with everything. ”

He couldn't think of anything else to instruct, except to be careful, but to be relieved.

Meng Xilan half-lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you, Master." ”

Jiao Changqing knelt down and saluted when he heard this: "Don't say that, Niangniang, the minister can't stand it." ”

Zhou Youchen raised his hand to him: "Master Jiao, I am really grateful to you today." ”

Jiao Changqing bowed his head and was silent.

It's all thanks to him, but it's all luck. It is Meng Xilan's luck to be able to escape this catastrophe today, and it is also the luck of the child in her womb. But what about next time? Next time, no one can guarantee that they will be safe.

After Jiao Changqing left, Meng Xilan said softly: "Your Majesty, I'm fine, let Zhulu change my clothes for me." ”

She actually didn't want him to see her like this, but there was no way, she didn't have the strength to persuade him.

Zhou Youchen hugged her shoulders, held her hand and said, "Don't move yet, rest for a while." ”

"But......" She didn't mind herself, but the bed was still stained with blood.

Zhou Youchen interrupted her: "It's out of the way." ”

Meng Xilan had already been exhausted by the pain, so she simply stopped insisting and fell asleep in his arms like this.

Zhou Youchen gently fixed her head with his chin, thinking of the scene just now, his heart sank, as if he was pressed by a thousand-pound stone.

Zhulu and Zhuqing on the opposite side were cleaning up, and they had just wiped the towels and basins for Meng Xilan.

The white towel was stained with bright red and dazzling blood, and it was particularly shocking to look at.

Zhou Youchen couldn't bear to look at it anymore, closed his eyes slightly, only hugged Meng Xilan a little tighter, and secretly reminded himself in his heart: "She must not have anything, she must not!" ”

After half a month, Meng Xilan felt the child's fetal movement for the first time.

She was so pleasantly surprised that she cried tears of joy on the spot.

She carefully stroked her lower abdomen and felt it quietly, for fear that it was just a temporary illusion.

But soon, the child in her belly moved again, although it was a very slight movement, but it was enough to make her heart steady.

Zhulu and Zhuqing also wiped their tears together, only Xiaochunzi stood in place blankly, wondering what happened to the master?

Zhu Lu gently pushed him and ordered: "Go and report the good news to the emperor, go quickly!" ”

Koharuko immediately took the order and left.

At this time, Zhou Youchen was discussing major matters with several important ministers in the court, and Meng Zhenglu was also among them.

Xiao Chunzi hurriedly ran to pass the word, Gao Fuli raised his eyebrows when he heard it, and he didn't care much, so he immediately ran to the emperor's side and said, "Your Majesty, there is something to report in Cining Palace." ”

Zhou Youchen's face changed instantly, and he raised his hand to signal him to step forward and reply.

Gao Fuli was evasive, and although he saw Lord Meng, he still lowered his voice and whispered softly in the emperor's ear.

After Zhou Youchen heard this, the whole person suddenly stood up, his eyes widened, as if in disbelief: "Is this true?" ”

Gao Fuli nodded with a smile: "Yes, Long Live Lord just ......"

He only said half of it and didn't dare to say it again.

Zhou Youchen was stunned for half a second, then suddenly smiled heartily, he patted the bookcase and said, "Hurry up, set up Cining Palace." With that, he got up and left, leaving everyone else to dry.

Meng Zhenglu listened carefully, hoping to hear clues about his daughter, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand anything.

However, waiting to see Zhou Youchen's appearance of surprise and shock just now, it should be a good thing.

The surrounding ministers were also suspicious, and they all looked at Meng Zhenglu and asked in a low voice: "Lord Meng, the emperor is ...... Is there something wrong with the concubine? ”

"Yes, yes, looking at the emperor's hurried appearance, something must have happened."

Meng Zhenglu remained vigilant and shook his head cautiously at them: "I'm really sorry, I don't know what the emperor is for?" ”
