Chapter 54: Childbirth
When Yin Qi was on his way home, Shen Qingyan was chatting with Zhao Mengtong in the guest room.
"I don't know what happened to my father." Zhao Mengtong's eyebrows frowned slightly, she was undisguised worried, in front of Shen Qingyan, she no longer had to hide her emotions.
"Don't worry, with Liu Lao here, he will be fine." Shen Qingyan actually couldn't be sure in her heart, after all, she didn't know what illness Yin Xiao was suffering from, and whether Liu Lao could save him back, but in order not to worry Zhao Mengtong, who was in labor, Shen Qingyan could only comfort Zhao Mengtong like this.
"Alas, actually, I'm more worried about Yin Ci, although my father is ......" Zhao Mengtong paused here when she said this, she didn't like to say bad things behind her back, and she also knew that Shen Qingyan understood what she meant, "But he is Yin Ci's father after all, if something happens to his father, Yin Ci will definitely be sad." “
"Alright, don't think about it." Shen Qingyan stretched out his finger and lightly tapped Zhao Mengtong's forehead, interrupting her train of thought to continue, "You have to put everything on hold now, because the most important thing for you now is the child in your womb." “
"yes, he's the most important thing right now." Zhao Mengtong stroked his high bulging abdomen when he heard this, and his face was full of happiness and joy that he couldn't hide, "He is getting more and more naughty now, punching and kicking me in my stomach every day." “
"I'm looking forward to it." Shen Qingyan also smiled and stroked Zhao Mengtong's abdomen.
At this moment, Cui Wei knocked on the door and came in, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Miss, Uncle Lie and Aunt Lan are here."
"Really!" Shen Qingyan stood up a little excitedly, she hadn't seen her biological parents for a long time because she was busy dancing recently, "Mengtong, I'm missing first." “
"Let's go." Zhao Mengtong smiled and waved her hand, she knew the true identities of Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er, and she also understood Shen Qingyan's mood that she couldn't wait to see them now.
Shen Qingyan walked quickly to the lobby, and when he saw Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er sitting on the chairs, he rushed up.
"Daddy, you're here, my daughter misses you so much." Shen Qingyan hugged Fang Lan'er and didn't let go, and sprinkled coquettishly.
"Mother misses you too." Fang Lan'er smiled and took Shen Qingyan in her arms, reaching out to stroke Shen Qingyan's black hair that was scattered on her back, while Shen Minglie looked at Shen Qingyan and smiled from ear to ear.
"Dad, mother, let's live in the house today, my daughter wants to sleep with my mother." Shen Qingyan shook Fang Lan'er's hand and kept shaking.
“…… Good. Fang Lan'er was a little hesitant, but she still agreed, she didn't know that Shen Qingyan's psychological barrier had been cured, and she planned to have a good talk with Shen Qingyan tonight to see if she could solve this problem.
Shen Qingyan had just sat honestly on the chair, wanting to have a good conversation with Shen Minglie and Fang Lan'er, when he saw Cui Wei hurriedly running into the lobby.
"Miss, Sanfujin is about to give birth!" Cui Wei came running, and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.
Shen Qingyan stood up in surprise when he heard this, according to calculations, Zhao Mengtong should have a few days to give birth, but he didn't expect it to be in advance, it is estimated that it was because the news that Yin Xiao was seriously ill just now had some tire gas.
"Then go to the midwife." Fang Lan'er stood aside, because she was already a passer, so she didn't panic.
"The matter of Mengtong's birth is a secret, so you must not invite the midwife outside, and even more so in the palace, at the beginning it was decided to let Liu Lao help deliver the baby, although it is not very polite, but at least it is safe, but now Liu Lao has not returned home, this is a big trouble." Shen Qingyan frowned tightly, his heart was full of intersections, Zhao Mengtong definitely couldn't drag it out any longer, the fetus was going to be saved, if it dragged on any longer, I was afraid that it would be two lives.
"I'll give it a try." Fang Lan'er also saw the seriousness of the matter and offered to help Zhao Mengtong deliver the baby.
"You? Where will you deliver a baby? Shen Minglie looked at Fang Lan'er with wide eyes, he was frightened by Fang Lan'er, where is this a joke, if one is not careful, then both adults and children will be in danger.
"Anyway, I also gave birth to Xiaoyan, and I can be regarded as experienced." Fang Lan'er glanced at Shen Minglie angrily, "It's dangerous for me to deliver the baby, and if it drags on like this, isn't it even more dangerous." “
"Okay, then it's troublesome." Shen Qingyan saw that there was no better way, so he agreed to Fang Lan'er's proposal.
Fang Lan'er asked Cui Wei to prepare hot water, scissors, a few hand towels and life-saving medicine at a critical moment, and followed Shen Qingyan to Zhao Mengtong's room.
Zhao Mengtong was already in pain at this time, he was almost unconscious, his clothes and bedding were soaked with cold sweat, his face was pale, and his hair was stuck to his face with sweat, and he was very haggard. Zhao Mengtong bit her lower lip fiercely, as if this would reduce the pain a little, at this time she was so painful that she couldn't make a sound, and her physical strength was about to run out.
"Light Yan ......" Zhao Mengtong saw Shen Qingyan in severe pain, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he asked Shen Qingyan intermittently with all his might, "Ask for ...... You, no matter ...... How is it...... Save my ...... Child. “
"Good. Mengtong, you hold on, I have already sent someone to inform the third prince, he will be here soon, you must hold on. Shen Qingyan held Zhao Mengtong's sweaty hand, wanting to give her a little strength, she knew that Zhao Mengtong, who was about to give birth to the third prince at this moment but was not by his side and was in critical condition, must be very helpless.
"Xiao Yan, I'm going to start delivering babies, you go out first." Fang Lan'er quickly cleaned her hands and let Shen Qingyan go out first, after all, Shen Qingyan is still a girl's family, and it is not good to accompany people to give birth.
"Mother, you can start directly, I'll accompany Mengtong." Shen Qingyan refused Fang Lan'er's request to let her out, and held Zhao Mengtong's hand hard, she would not go anywhere until Zhao Mengtong successfully gave birth.
Fang Lan'er sighed, knowing that she couldn't resist Shen Qingyan, so she directly started to deliver the baby.
Fang Lan'er asked Zhao Mengtong to arch her legs to facilitate delivery, and took a hand towel washed with hot water in her hand to wipe Zhao Mengtong's body constantly to promote uterine relaxation, and at the same time let the cui wisps on the side keep preparing hot water and hot towels.
"The amniotic water has broken, you have to exert yourself, but don't shout, adjust your breathing." Fang Lan'er told Zhao Mengtong where to pay attention, and she never stopped wiping her body in her hand.
"Ahh Zhao Mengtong couldn't help but scream because of the severe pain, but he still listened to Fang Lan'er's words and used his strength, and he grabbed Shen Qingyan's hand and unconsciously used his strength to grab Shen Qingyan's hand with a few blood marks.
"Mengtong, work hard, hold on!" Shen Qingyan didn't seem to feel the pain in her hands, and kept cheering her on Zhao Mengtong's ears.
"You must exert yourself, I know you have no strength now, but for the sake of the child, you must exert yourself." Fang Lan'er also kept talking to the weak Zhao Mengtong, in case Zhao Mengtong fainted because he was too weak.
Zhao Mengtong almost fainted, but she still tried to stay awake, because once she fainted, she and the child would be saved.
"Ahh Zhao Mengtong felt a peak of sharp pain and screamed.
"Hard! The child's head has come out! Fang Lan'er said loudly, with joy, once the child's head comes out, the subsequent production will be much easier.
On the other side, Yin Qi and Liu Lao had already returned to the Prince's Mansion, and before they had walked a few steps, they were told by their subordinates about Zhao Mengtong's birth and Fang Lan'er's delivery.
"It's ahead of schedule." Liu Lao frowned and walked quickly towards Zhao Mengtong's room.
"What about the crown princess?" Yin Qi didn't follow, because he knew that he couldn't help much.
"The crown princess is in it to accompany the birth." The subordinate said respectfully.
"Paternity!" Yin Qi's eyes widened, and he couldn't cry or laugh, he hadn't given birth yet, and he had already gone to accompany the birth.
Here, Liu Lao just walked to the door of Zhao Mengtong's room, and heard a terrible scream from inside, followed by a loud cry of a baby, and the hanging heart was put down, knowing that the child had been born, he didn't go in again, after all, there was a difference between men and women, just standing at the door, in case there was any emergency.
"Mengtong, you are awesome, congratulations, you are a little prince." Shen Qingyan saw the birth of the child, wet his eyes excitedly, held Zhao Mengtong's hand, and reported the good news in Zhao Mengtong's ear.
Zhao Mengtong was too tired, and his mind was already a little chaotic, but when he heard the cry and Shen Qingyan's annunciation, there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Lan'er was also very happy, but she was already carrying out the final work. Fang Lan'er took the scissors that had been roasted by the fire from Cui Wei's hand, cut the umbilical cord, and carefully wiped the body of Zhao Mengtong and the child before completing the delivery.
Shen Qingyan personally dressed Zhao Mengtong, covered the cup, and repeatedly confirmed that Zhao Mengtong was okay except for being too tired, and then he was completely relieved.
Shen Qingyan took the child from Cuiwei's hand, the child's black eyes rolled slightly, the skin was snow-white, soft and tender, with the aroma of newborn milk, like a snow-white little ball, the child did not cry, but looked at Shen Qingyan with curiosity and giggled, stretching out his white and tender little fleshy hand waving in the air.
"This kid is very smart at first glance." Fang Lan'er watched the child she delivered by herself on the side, and she was also full of love.
"He's so good-looking, and he must be a handsome boy when he grows up." Shen Qingyan gently grabbed the child's little hand and had a lot of fun.
"You were born a beautiful embryo, and none of the children I've seen can surpass you." Fang Lan'er proudly touched Shen Qingyan's head.
Shen Qingyan was used to her mother treating us from time to time, so she just smiled faintly, appearance didn't mean much to her.
Shen Qingyan and Fang Lan'er walked out of the house with the child in their arms, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw Liu Lao at the door and Yin Qi who came over just now.
"What about the third prince?" Shen Qingyan looked around, but never found Yin Ci's figure.
"The third child is rushing back." Yin Qi said with a smile, he just wanted to see the child, but at a glance he saw the blood marks on Shen Qingyan's hands, and suddenly stopped smiling, holding Shen Qingyan's wrist, "Why did your hand hurt?" “
"Just now, Mengtong grabbed my hand when she gave birth, and accidentally got it." Shen smiled absentmindedly.
