The gate of the general's mansion was closed, and only a pair of plain white lanterns were picked up in front of the door, and no servants were seen entering or leaving.

The eunuch stepped forward and slapped the door open, and said a few words to the servant who came to open the door, and the servant glanced at the carriage, his face suddenly became respectful, and he hurriedly opened the door, and let people go in, and bowed outside the door: "County lord." ”

Gu Mingzhu glanced at the servant through the gauze curtain, and saw that he was dressed in thick linen and short brown, with linen around his waist, obviously wearing filial piety for Gu Mingyue, it seems that the Mao family has already arranged Gu Mingyue's funeral.

It's just that King Xian is ending up like this now, and Gu Mingyue is dying in the palace like that, which is really not a glorious thing, so he can only do it hastily like this.

She finally settled down a little, at least there was no chaos in the General's Mansion.

got the news, but it was not Mao, but Gu Yuan.

He hurriedly came out and bowed to Gu Mingzhu, who got out of the carriage: "County Lord." ”

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but be stunned: "Second uncle, what about my aunt?" ”

Gu Yuan was a little more fat than before, his hair was also a little thin, and he was wearing a robe full of cocoons and silk: "She is heavy, she had a seizure early this morning, and she is lying in the room." ”

Gu Mingzhu was startled, and hurriedly took the maidservants inside, asking Gu Yuan all the way: "...... But did you invite a midwife, did you invite a medical officer? ”

Gu Yuan is also the first time to go through such a thing, and the careless appearance in the past is gone, rubbing his hands and looking anxious: "The mother-in-law who delivered the baby has been in the house, but the medical officer ......"

Gu Mingzhu suddenly remembered that the night before, the Taiji Hall was afraid that all the medical officers of the Tai Chi Department had been left, and the palace door was closed, so no one could invite the medical officer.

She hurriedly turned her head and instructed Ah Bi: "You go back to the county lord's mansion to get my post, send someone to the Huichun Hall in the East City to ask for a doctor, and then ask Mama Han to bring someone over." ”

There is no elder in the general's mansion now, although she has lived for several lifetimes, she has never given birth after all, and she can only follow in a hurry, but it is Mama Han who has served the eldest princess, and she wants to know how to deal with it.

Gu Yuan listened to her arrangement, and the heart that had been hanging was settled, and he thanked him again and again.

Looking at his appearance, Gu Mingzhu felt something in her heart and smiled: "Second uncle, don't worry, my aunt will definitely be safe and give birth to a well-behaved and lovely child." ”

Gu Yuan also felt that he was a little embarrassed to look like this in front of his niece, but when he thought of being a father, his mood was indescribably excited, and he grinned: "The county lord will go into the inner hall to rest, and I will let someone prepare refreshments." ”

Gu Mingzhu shook his head and glanced at the two female officials behind him: "Second uncle doesn't have to be busy, the princess will come back to the house in a while, we will talk in the inner hall, waiting for the general to come back, you go and arrange the next things first, Chang'an has not been peaceful these days, and the guards in the house are afraid that the second uncle will have to worry a lot." ”

Gu Yuan is not stupid, and even a little clever, but he didn't use it in the right place before, these days, Gu Qing went to the northwest and handed over the affairs of the house to the Mao family, and he also helped to deal with it, so he naturally noticed the situation in Chang'an, and when he heard Gu Mingzhu's seemingly understatement, his heart was a sigh.

It's just that he didn't show it, just smiled and nodded: "I'll arrange it." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart was slightly relieved, and she smiled with the two female officials: "You Lao and the two of you went to the inner hall with Xiaokui to sit down, my aunt is about to give birth, why should I go over to visit." ”

The two glanced at each other, they didn't expect to catch up with Second Lady Gu in time for delivery, and it was not easy to stop Gu Mingzhu from going to see it, not to mention that Gu Mingzhu was only in the General's Mansion, although they were ordered to "accompany" Gu Mingzhu back to the General's Mansion, they also knew that the Queen Mother valued the Gu family and Gu Mingzhu, so they didn't have to offend her like this.

They hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't dare to disturb the county lord to visit the second lady, I'll wait in the inner hall." ”

Gu Mingzhu instructed Xiao Kui to accompany them to the inner hall, and rushed to Qingxuexuan to see the Mao family.

Before entering the door of Qingxuexuan, I had already heard Mao's voice of mourning and pain, and the maids and mothers-in-law were already busy at this time, only to hear that the midwife asked for water and hand towels, and wanted ginseng soup and grass ash, which made people turn over on their backs, and people were panicked, and no one dared to ask about the situation inside.

Gu Mingzhu didn't expect to see this situation as soon as he came, and immediately sank his face, and called Dongzhu, the big maid beside Mao's side: "Didn't you prepare it before?" Why is this time to catch blindness! ”

Dongzhu was surprised and delighted to see Gu Mingzhu, and was busy saluting, but he couldn't say it with a stomach of grievances, it wasn't that they weren't ready, they had already started preparing things to be used in the basin the day before, and Gu Mingyue's coffin was sent back in the partial life palace.

"Go and ask the woman, what is urgent, let people prepare immediately, and what is spare, so that you can prepare it slowly."

Gu Mingzhu sorted things out in a few words, and the maidservants also prepared and arranged in an orderly manner as instructed.

She walked briskly into the delivery room herself.

Through the screen, Mao's crying out was even more poignant, Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but sweat, he heard that the woman's birth was in front of the gate of King Yama, and if she was not careful, her life would be in danger, which really taught people not to be afraid.

Her face turned a little pale for a while, and she asked the midwife on the side, "How is the second lady?" ”

The midwife hurriedly said: "Madame's fetal image is good, and the fetal position is also positive, but the first child will inevitably take some effort, just endure the back." ”

Gu Mingzhu relaxed a little, turned the screen and went to Mao's couch: "Second aunt, you are relieved, I am back." ”

Mao's originally painful eyes were full of stars, holding his stomach and gasping for breath, when he saw Gu Mingzhu at a glance, he was immediately surprised, and stretched out his hand to her with pain: "The county lord is back......"

Gu Mingzhu hurriedly held her hand: "Yes, I'm back, you can give birth with peace of mind, and leave the affairs of the house to me." ”

Mao's heart, which had been carrying, finally fell to the ground, and tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes for a while: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"

But he couldn't bear the sharp pain in his abdomen, and he groaned and mourned.

"Second aunt, the midwife said that your fetus is very good, the fetal position is also positive, and you will be able to give birth safely soon, you endure the pain, I have everything outside, and I have asked people to invite a doctor, just wait outside, you just have to rest assured." Gu Mingzhu knew that at this time, there was nothing more important than letting Mao's give birth with peace of mind, and blindly said words of comfort to her.

Mao was sweating profusely in pain, nodded again and again, but gritted his teeth and admonished: "The second lady's spiritual shed is set up by the west door, so that the two grandmothers and a few maidservants are watching ......."

Gu Mingzhu patted her hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll let people take care of it, and there will be no mistakes." ”

Mao only felt that the little thing that was pressing on his heart was gone, and he exhaled a breath and exerted his strength according to the midwife's words.
