Chapter 512: Bloody Plague (2)
Meng Xilan waited for news in the palace, but what she was waiting for was a sudden heavy rain.
The gloomy sky was overwhelming. Several terrible bolts of lightning followed, accompanied by thunder, which were unsettling.
In a few moments, the wind mixed with the torrential rain fell from the sky, and the momentum was terrifying and terrifying, like the roar of the heavens on all kinds of anger on the earth.
Meng Xilan sat in the inner hall, and there was a deafening thunder in her ears.
Zhulu didn't go out for a while, and the clothes on his body were all soaked through the rain, and he was wet and embarrassed.
"Master, this weather is too weird." Zhulu didn't have time to change her clothes and wipe them, she just wanted to tell her good news immediately. "Niangniang, Zhen Huamen is already preparing to take Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace."
Jiao Changqing really did what he said, and asked the Chu family to agree to let the princess return to the palace to give birth. In fact, the person who really got the idea behind this was Chu Jingchuan.
Without his nod, no one dared to open the palace gate without permission.
As soon as Zhulu's words fell, there was another thunderclap outside.
Meng Xilan's whole body trembled, and then she stood up and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, I will personally pick it up." ”
Chu Jingchuan was finally willing to send her back and send her back.
"Master, it's so stormy outside, don't go."
Meng Xilan insisted: "Hurry up and prepare." ”
If she can't stand even this bit of wind and rain, then her life will be in vain.
The sky was full of wind and rain, bitter and cold, like whips whipped on people's bodies.
The carriage was moving smoothly all the way, and the grooms and guards were beaten by the wind and rain and could not open their eyes, so they could only walk slower and slower.
finally arrived at Zhenhua Gate, and the carefree in the car was already in a cold sweat.
She started abdominal pain last night, broke her amniotic water again this morning, and after tossing for a long time, she still couldn't give birth to the child.
She fought hard and returned to the palace, hoping that when she was most sad, she would have a queen mother by her side.
This road is already difficult, partial and stormy.
When he arrived at Zhenhuamen, he endured the pain and asked, "Where is the queen mother?" ”
She spoke in a very small voice, the rain outside was loud, and the people around her were all flustered, and no one could hear what she was saying for a while.
The carriage drove slowly on the road, and not far away, Wei Feng rode a white horse and led a team of people and horses to wait outside the Cining Palace.
Suddenly, Meng Xilan held an umbrella and hurriedly came to the door.
Wei Feng lowered his eyes to look at her, only to see that her eyes were slightly red, her expression was anxious, nervous and uneasy.
Is she really worried about Her Royal Highness? No way, she just pretended. If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?
Thinking about it, Wei Feng's face sank slightly.
However, when she walked from under the corridor to the palace gate, Meng Xilan's clothes were soaked through by the rain, and her cloak fell heavily and wetly, making her struggling.
She took off her cloak and looked at the carriage coming in the distance, the hand holding the umbrella, shivering constantly, I don't know whether it was cold or afraid.
When the carriage stopped, the palace people of Cining Palace surrounded it, holding up the oil-paper umbrella in their hands high, blocking a way for Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Carefree was weakened and could only be carried out of the carriage by the crowd and escorted into the house.
Meng Xilan walked to her side, saw her hand hanging weakly, hurriedly walked over, held it gently, and said, "No worries, no worries." ”
Carefree barely opened her eyes, tears hung on her lowered eyelashes, she looked at the people around her, and subconsciously pursed her lips, revealing a faint smile.
"Queen Mother's ......"
Meng Xilan only felt a heartache, like a knife twisting, suffocating.
Wuwu was escorted in by everyone all the way, and Meng Xilan fell behind a few steps, trying to keep up, but her legs were not easy to arouse.
Zhulu came over to hold an umbrella for her, but she raised her hand to stop her: "Come and see worry-free, I don't care." ”
She slowed down for a moment before following the house.
Jiao Changqing and the people from the Tai Hospital then arrived and stayed outside the hall, ready at any time.
Meng Xilan's hair and clothes were almost wet, but she still kept a worry-free guard.
Carefree was awake for a while and confused for a while, his body trembled slightly because of the severe pain, his hands were clenched into fists, his bones were white, he opened his mouth to cry out for pain, and his voice was extremely weak.
Jiao Changqing said in a low voice: "Her Royal Highness the princess has not been in the right position, and she has been tossing from last night to now, if she can't give birth smoothly within an hour...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”
Meng Xilan was also a person who walked through the ghost gate back then, and knew the danger and power of this.
"Master, you can't be carefree!" Meng Xilan grabbed his wrists, pointed nails, and couldn't wait to pierce his flesh.
Jiao Changqing's eyebrows moved slightly, he looked at her for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Weichen dares to ask Niangniang, if it is extremely dangerous, does Niangniang want to keep it big or small?" ”
When Meng Xilan heard this, her face turned from blue to pale.
She glanced at Worry-free, the words came to her mouth, swallowed them back, hesitated again before opening her mouth again, and her voice was as thin as silk: "I want to be worry-free." ”
Jiao Changqing's eyes sank, nodded silently, and stopped talking.
Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier, knocking on the lattice door, making a dull sound.
The brazier in the hall was burning vigorously, warming Meng Xilan's body, but not her heart.
Through the thin gauze curtains, she could see Carefree's face distorted by the pain.
From beginning to end, she didn't say a word, she just endured it desperately.
The grandmothers in the palace were all around, stroking her belly and working hard for her.
"Your Highness, work hard, just all at once."
"Your Highness...... You have to shout out, shout out so that you can exert your strength! ”
Meng Xilan listened quietly, her hands kept shaking, and she didn't stop from just now.
I don't know how long I waited, but an exclamation suddenly came from inside: "It's born, it's out!" ”
Meng Xilan stood up suddenly, only to hear a faint cry in her ears.
Zhulu cried with joy and hurriedly said, "Niangniang, Your Highness is fine." ”
The grandmothers were cleaning up the child's body, because she was too nervous, Meng Xilan's vision was a little blurred, she didn't see the child's face clearly, but she saw a red, small person, who was kicking her calves and crying in her grandmother's arms.
Jiao Changqing was hanging the silk outside to diagnose the pulse, and after a while, he got up and said, "Niangniang, Your Highness's qi pulse is stable, and there is no big problem." ”
Meng Xilan's body shook slightly when she heard this, and she nodded with tears in her eyes: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Wuwu was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes, but instinctively leaned his hand to his side and muttered, "Child...... Kid ......"
Meng Xilan sat and knelt in front of her bed, took out a sweat towel to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead, and comforted her softly: "It's okay...... The kids are good, and so are you. ”
After the mother wrapped the child, she hugged it with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Your Highness, you are a little county lord." ”
It's a daughter......
Meng Xilan was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the swaddling clothes from her grandmother's arms and sent her to the carefree side.
"Daughter......" Carefree muttered.
Meng Xilan looked at their mother and daughter with tears in her eyes: "My daughter is good, my daughter is well-behaved." ”
Carefree nodded slightly.
She originally wanted to be a boy, but now, she realized that what she wanted was a daughter, a well-behaved and obedient daughter who was far away from the power struggle.
Meng Xilan patted the baby in the swaddling clothes, and patted the back of the worry-free hand: "You have a good rest, the queen mother will take good care of the child for you." ”
The corners of his lips pursed slightly, and then he fell asleep.
She can only feel at ease when she returns to her mother.
After Meng Xilan watched her fall asleep, she handed over the child to the nurse to take care of, and she was not allowed to take half a step out of her sight.
Gradually, the wind and rain outside became less and less, and it calmed down.
Zhulu pushed open a window and dispersed the bloody smell in the room.
"Master, this kid is a lucky star."
Meng Xilan asked the nurse to put the child back to the worry-free side, so that their mother and daughter could be together.
Jiao Changqing was waiting outside, and when he saw her come out, he saluted and said, "Weichen congratulates Niangniang." ”
Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Yes, this is the only thing worth rejoicing in the palace right now." ”
"Worry-free body, is it really okay?"
Jiao Changqing nodded: "Your Highness is just weak, and it will be fine if you slowly adjust." ”
Although the process was difficult, the result was good.
"Your Highness is young, you will be fine after some recovery."
Meng Xilan sighed: "God finally treats her well. ”
Gao Fuli was also overjoyed when he learned that Her Royal Highness the princess had given birth to a daughter safely.
Meng Xilan asked him to send a message to the princess.
Gao Fuli hesitated slightly: "Niangniang, it's better to wait a few more days." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has an old affection for the princess, and he may not be happy to know this news.
"It's useless to hide it from him now. She was still his sister after all, and he should be happy for her. ”
Gao Fu took the order and left, stayed outside the palace, and saw Wei Feng again.
"General Wei, the slave is here to report the good news to His Royal Highness the Prince."
Wei Feng glanced at him coldly: "What are you happy about?" ”
Gao Fuli knew that he was deliberately making things difficult, so he said: "The princess gave birth to a daughter, this is a great joy in the palace." ”
Wei Feng smiled coldly: "That's just a Turkic seed." ”
Gao Fuli's face changed instantly when he heard this, "General, please be careful when you speak!" Her Royal Highness is the niece of General Chu, and your contempt for her child is equivalent to contempt for the general! Also, God has the virtue of a good life, and even eunuchs like minions know the preciousness of life, but I didn't expect General Wei to be so ruthless...... What a surprise. ”
After he said this, he walked around in front of him, took two steps, and then stopped and said: "The slave heard the words clearly, and the slave will definitely tell the mother to know when he turns around." ”
Wei Feng looked at him and said, "Say whatever you want, even if it's the queen's mother, what can you do to me?" I'm not a slave in this palace, and I don't have to listen to her. ”
Seeing him so arrogant, Gao Fuli smiled lightly and said sarcastically: "General Wei is really a real man who is not afraid of heaven and earth." The minion has seen the majesty of the general today, and he will never forget it. ”
In fact, what he wanted to say in his heart was: What a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and let you be majestic for a few days, if you fall into my hands one day, I will definitely make you live but not die...... so humble that it is inferior to an ant on the ground.
